Done with the model except for some small things, I hope you will like it.

Best of British... A couple of Lightnings out of RAF Luqa, Malta, on patrol over the Med..

Different models have different buttons depending on which animation slot the model maker used. You should read the readme. Or use a fixed refuelling probe like on the A-6! As others have said, you can't actually refuel but you can practice flying close to a tanker and immersing yourself in the storyline of the mission you're flying. And take some nice screenshots too please..

checking out an airliner with reported engine trouble unfortuneately it seems to have taken out a bit more than the engine

Boeing RB-55D Stratostrike - Strategic Air Command, 1956

Nah .. we love it .

i've said it in other places, F-15EX would be an excellent buy if they used it for its original role when proposed 5 or so years ago: replacement of the F-15Cs used in the air soveriegnty role by the Air National Guard. but the US military being what it is, we like to tack things and missions on. that said, it will still be a good investment in that - it will be a newer airframe accomplishing the same mission. less maintenence down time, meaning overall cheaper to operate - the USAF will finally move away from its F-15 platforms being solely air to air. the second seat is expected to be utilized for training and to have a WSO for air to ground. when pure air to air one seat is expected to be used - with the recent experiments in using F-15Es as literal bomb trucks (up rated loads just for carrying from one base to another), another CFT'd platform would help accomplish that mission set, further enabling the USAF's goal of being able to operate from small remote airbases in IndoPac the F-22 and F-35 are expensive, and while the USAF would have loved to replace entire fleets with them, the fact is they are going to be a combination of Day1 silver bullets and day... the rest... quarterbacks, using their greater situational awareness of the air space to direct the 4th gen platforms. Those 4th gen platforms are more likely to be there when needed if they are built in 2022-6 rather than 1982-6

For the USAF, the F-15EX is a poor second-best because the F-22 production stopped 10 years ago and the F-35 is expensive to buy and maintain... its full Block 4 standard is a long way ! This is a stopgap waiting for the next generation... P.

Yeah, I already saw that video when it was posted, I follow that channel. It makes sense to have such a multirole platform, maximizing firepower while sacrificing stealth. As much as I love the F-22A Raptor, they never fully explored the potential of that aircraft, it's only capable of carrying small GPS-guided bombs, otherwise it's just a stealth air superiority aircraft with no HMD capability. It would be weird to see those F-15EX aircraft being manned by a single pilot, even though the airframe is dual-seat. Maybe they've played Ace Combat too much...

I think it will worth the effort, look how cluttered and colorful that area looks! The sailors, the orange lifebuoys and hoses

Avro Canada F-112A Arrow - 186th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Montana Air National Guard, 1973

You can't have enough Spitfires in any flight sim can you!

No .

Yeah, I wouldn't play it now, but it you look at the way it is set up: playing the war all the way through from both sides, medals, promotions and kill tracking, types of missions, no "story" but what you make as your own pilot, even the nested menu structure; it's a pretty good line through to the (W)OFF series (probably mostly through RBII). That does seem to be the case.

Hello everyone, It has been unique interesting days with many options, suggestions, and discussion going on. I have made the final decision about where to go with Dhimar and Paran. I updated the first post. According to my vision / stories about Dhimar and Paran: - Dhimar have large Air force and small navy. They both are unified and supports each other. They all share one same flag and insignia of one nation. - While Dhimar gets aircraft / technologies from the USA as Paran do with Soviet, both Dhimar and Paran uses aircraft and technologies from other nations too. (Thank you trotski00 for this suggestion, it is what will make Paran situation more interesting.) - Paran have large Air Force and Navy. Paran Air Force and Navy leaders have their own policy and philosophy about the aircraft designs and politic. They act as separated force. They both have their own insignia for both forces while using the national insignia at the same time. Paran Air Force will use many soviet aircraft and equipment, along with fewer other nation aircraft. Paran Navy, in the other hand, disagree with the ways of Paran Air Force and Soviet. Navy leader would rather to focus on importing and using European and other nation's aircraft and equipment over Soviet, as much as possible. However, both leaders have one thing in common, both must obey the national leader's order in any situations. I have recently created two new insignia for Paran Air Force and Navy: Note: Paran Air Force is known as Royal Paran People Air Force (RPPAF). Paran Navy is known as Royal Navy People Navy (RPPN).

happy holiday !

Just quick one to wish you all a happy holiday. Most of you over there seem to roasting, while we are freezing, well almost, a little warmer here than I feel it should be for this time of year. Happy Holiday. Wow spell-checker works here now, cool. James. PS not the world best speller ok.

Congratrulations!!!!!!!!

Also I may make the ship sonar opening. But I am not sure if its a sonar deployment place.

I was thinking about that adding two in the back for the helicopter landing pad, and one for the watch tower, but that will add more to the model poly but I will try.

Will you add a couple or three sailors around the ship? Maybe a couple of flying deck guys as well...

Not without the secret hand shake.

Yes it appeals to my sense of chaos, and I like to see what if scenarios, which are not necessarily aligned with what people think things should be, because that is what historically happened or is happening in the present. I see no problem with nations having the same kit and then having a dust up, wasn't that what happened in the Football war in S America ? both sides if I remember correctly flew US types of aircraft varying from the F4U Corsair etc. The egyptians flew all sorts of things Soviet, British and Italian, as did a lot of other Arabian Countries, and clashes must have happened where the same types came up against each other. Even the French flew KI 43 Oscars after the war, also some German aircraft as well, they even had a couple of Panther tanks, so, if one takes that idea and runs with it, boundless choices are open to you.

Best wishes for the 100th anniversary of the chinese communist party.

Ole!

I hate lines ... .

Have you seen this new free to play thing?

well we have soldiers. and if requested one of our active modelers might be willing to create one if you explain the mission set make a large hit box, low armor, and maybe you could set down "on" the pilot to destroy/pick them up right up the lane of yakarov's Jolly Greens......... would have to be tailor made missions so you dont take off expecting a downed pilot and get a convoy of ZSU-23s instead!

This popped up on a transport mission in my current Yom Kippur War campaign...

We're having fun now! Ravenclaw_007 updated the loadouts and she's now outfitted with LGBs..
