Dear all, As the title implies, I am writing proposing a new detailed model of the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen for future modding projects to our modders in the community. Rationale: "Who can deny the joy it brings When you've found that special thing..." Seriously, one could hardly forget the satisfaction and enjoyment that brought by a well-built model like the Mirage F1 series available here (I said that before) doing all the ground attack stuff, SEAD,.. That might serves as our special way to honor the great designs; maybe also the innovative, risk-taking designs in the aviation history. Secondly, it's easy to see why a multi-role airframe is more preferable to a pure fighter. We DO expect a model that we've devoted our time on its development to be able to perform missions other than just CAP, fighter sweep and interception all day long. Moreover, it could serve as a beautiful weapons test bed for some of our weapon systems modders around. To me, the Gripen is the next Viper(F-16). I believe this project would spawn an airframe that would fit many future scenarios/terrains projects offered by our friends. How can I help: I am readily available to offer my help to whom it may show his interest on my proposed project on the Gripen. My philosophy on SF2 modding/playing is that I would prefer a model that has acceptable details and accuracy up to the best available data we could collect than something Looking fancy but everything else we have to guess... It doesn't concern me if it's an early model Gripen say 39A as long as it's accurate. I 've found some resources showing details of the Gripen. Due to our site policy on the copyrighted materials I would not post them here but I could "lend" some of them just PM me. A few examples:

That made the trick!!

Here are a few more videos by The History Guy. Reactor accident on Soviet Submarine K-19. Submarines, Balloons, and the Battle of Los Angeles. The Norwegian Rocket Incident of 1995 Taffy Holden, the Accidental Lightning Pilot USS Buckley vs U-66 Here is a link to the U.S.S. BUCKLEY (DE-51)'s action report for 6 May 1944 that is referenced in the video below if you want to read it for yourself. I first learned about this incident from the paperwork that came with a model kit of the Buckley that I built back in the 90's.

Hmmmm, sorry I lied, I've not done these for the updated model in the Falklands pack. Once the FA2 is sorted I'll get onto the FRS1 templates again or I might chop FA2 model about and make an FRS1 from it. Watch this space.

oh..hell yes! Thank you! I don't know what happened to me but first I saw on the label - do not add other fuel fu..ers. mandatory pic: Out of Iwakuni.

Thanks a lot !!!

Agreed 100%. As a newbie myself, I started by questioning like "Nah, this missile can't be that accurate; holy **, those bombs just ain't that effective..." One eventually at least try to take a look at the DATA.inis That's when somebody really begin to enjoy the game(and recognise its possibilities & limitations)

Think I've got it - its a sort of extra-curricular, aeronautical engineer-hangar mechanic-flightsim game. Or if your designing terrains of campaigns, a sort of God mode strategy-historian-flightsim game

that's how you play this game...if you are not modding - you are not playing.

Back when I flew the A-6E that was secondary to the Super Hornet as far as A2G goes. The Intruder is a great plane for those who like the old mixed in with the spoiling of LGBs and just iron bomb fun.

In Viet Nam, and any theater, the failure of the AIM-9B as anything more than a tactic to induce NVA to turn into my guns is prevelent...unless a US aircraft is in the picture. I have often given the AIM-9B a 5-second lock-on count to really have a track on the target, only to have my quarry turn as soon as I fire it, thus defeating it. The unreliability of the 9B (and Shafir-1) has lead to many friendly fire incidents, yet very very few NME kills. For some unknown reason, the 9B will not track NMEs, but will indiscriminately destroy friendlies without fail. It has come to the point where I will carry Falcons instead because, even though it is not a "close in weapon", I can launch and know I can get that commie-tard 80% of the time compared to 0% of the 9B. I hereby accept the responsibility for downing an American aircraft's crew, even as the fate of the crew is unknown to me. My sincere condolences to the family, if the crew was lost, and will accept court-martial with only a guilty plea. The unreliability of the AIM-9B Sidewinder has rendered me a murderer of friendly airmen, even without my direct motive to do so. SUXORS and my campaign is over.

Seems the accuracy window at full power sits between 7000 and 7600 AGL for the calculator

Make me think of a "desert" campaign where both sides have collapsed and are very poor (no oil) Major super powers are completly uninvolved and both sides have to fight with Alpha-Jet, L39 and old chinese migs

Pete Maddock Diary 06 Apr 1980: The last two missions came thick & fast - Ivan is obviously testing us. But so far I'd like to think we've handled what they've sent! 111 Sqn has certainly given the Soviets a bloody nose: 22 enemy aircraft shot down for only one of our own. I'm now sitting pretty on 13 air to air kills which has earned me a few bevvies in the squadron bar. I'm not the only Ace though, Dougie Cross has shot down 7! The CAP which took place yesterday evening again involved Yak-28s & Tu-16s but this time Ivan sent in his Tu-128s. The Yak-28s weren't difficult to take out but I went Winchester engaging the Badgers. I did manage a guns kill but it was then Red Crown gave us a heads-up about four Fiddlers - they were bearing straight for us & almost immediately they began rippling missiles off at our flight. While the rest of my flight kept on the remaining bombers, I dropped my tanks, switched on my ECM and punched into reheat to close the distance. I may have been out of missiles but I fancied my chances in a turning fight. My RWR lit up & I toggled my radar to get a lock - they were now within 10 miles just below the cloudbase. As we merged I concentrated on avoiding a mid-air; I knew that after the merge I'd have the advantage due to the Eagle's agility. The 9G turn I pulled to come around wasn't fun but it put me exactly where I wanted to be. The Tu-128 pulled up above the clouds but I easily matched him as I closed in for a guns kill. The Russian didn't make it easy however - even though a couple of my 20mm shells hit, he kept flying. As I prepared for a re-attack, I heard a call of "Fox 2" & about the same time my RWR chirped once again. Before I start an evasive maneuver to clear my six, the 128 was blown apart by Sqn Ldr Duke's AIM-9L. I quickly punched back into reheat & pulled another high G turn to get a visual on the 128 that had locked onto me. It took a few seconds but I got on his 6 & closed the gap as he tried to climb - this time my Vulcan worked as advertised: I had no time to congratulate myself as my RWR was already going off again. I once again turned as tight as I could but as I started to black-out I heard the "Missile-Launch!" call out shortly followed by "Fox 2" & my RWR went crazy. I dropped chaff & started to reverse my turn hoping to shake off the missile while silently cursing - but within a few seconds I heard one of my colleagues exclaim "Splash one!" followed by my RWR going silent. I'm not sure I've ever been so relieved! By now 3 of the Fiddlers were down. the last one was taken out by another member of the flight shortly after. It turned out a couple of Tu-16s had slipped past us but by that point I was low on cannon rounds & my fuel wasn't great either as I'd been using reheat a lot during the knife fight. It was certainly time for us to go home. One of my wingmen (they vowed not to tell me which one even in the bar after) nominated me for the DFC which was a welcome surprise. After the sheer excitement mixed with the terror of my first furball I was just glad to get home with all the flight still intact. The Intercept we carried out earlier today wasn't quite as exciting - we engaged Soviet Badgers at angels 20 & made short work of them. None of them escaped this time. Red Crown then vectored us onto a flight of Yak-28s on a recce mission. We hit them from behind & only one of them got away. Once again I was now Winchester so we turned north for the journey back to Lossie. It quickly became apparent that Ivan hadn't finished with us though - we began getting hits on our RWRs. We turned in that direction & fired back up our radars. Sure enough, a pair of Fiddlers were inbound over the North Sea & we within missile range. Ideally I'd have preferred to make a break for home but as my flight still had weapons left we turned to engage. At about 10 miles out both sides fired - I had to pull hard & deploy chaff once again as a Soviet missile came my way. I successfully evaded the attack & shortly after my wingman destroyed the 128. As I turned to line up on the final Fiddler, another member of my flight erased him. (J2 aren't sure whether the ambush by the Soviet fighters was a deliberate set-up or whether we were simply a target of opportunity. It could well be that their commanders see our squadron as the biggest aerial threat.) Now we really could Foxtrot Oscar back home & we were all in high spirits until we heard an encounter between a Nimrod & Yak-38 fighters. It turned out the Soviet Fleet had been found heading south. The Nimrod successfully reported their position & made a run for the coast with a pair of Yak-38s in tail. Unfortunately the Harriers that had been protecting it had turned back due to low fuel. The heat-seekers fired at the Nimrod all missed & you heard the crew's relief over the radio. However their joy was short lived when a 38 unloaded several cannon shells into them. My biggest regret was not having a couple of missiles left - I'd have gone full burner to interdict and be damned with the consequences. The missions keep coming, the UK air defence squadrons haven't seen intensity like this since the summer of 1940. So far 111 Sqn is doing superbly but the Soviet forces have landed on the Faeroe islands & their fleet is now well into the North Sea. There's already talk of using the Eagles in the naval strike role which seems crazy. It shows how much we've sent to Germany. I've heard rumors that the MOD have somehow acquired Exocet missiles off the French that were originally due for South America. The techies have been playing around with hardpoints whenever we're back on the ASP so maybe this rumor is actually true. On the bright side, I've been promoted to Flying Officer & I'm now up to 25 Kills which is the most any pilot in the RAF has achieved since the Second World War.
