Okay, I am back from my vacation and I will start working on the M992A2 I will try to get it out with two colors desert and green.

Returning back to the carrier after some low-level flying

Some "new" E's I'm working on...... Rebuilt/remapped model, new SUU-23/A gunpod also, not up to Ravenclaw standards but better than stock......for me anyway. No decals on any of these birds.....just because I cant be bothered to make em

@Flogger23 your Su-15 looks marvellous. which / whose model is it ? do you release these skins ? required screenshot:

The Canadian government announced today they're in negotiations to purchase 88, F-35 Lightning IIs from Lockheed Martin. As far as I'm concerned this is a good decision for my county. We were one of the early sponsors of the F-35 ASTOVL program and we currently pay LM about $35 million a year for the right for CDN aviation companies to build parts for it. So far that's been paying off, with companies here generating over 100 million+ in annual revenues. There were some other nice birds in the competition like the Dassault Rafale and the Saab Gripen, the latter being the 2nd place choice and the official alternate if negotiations with LM fall apart. It's really no surprise because of our history with the program and a RCAF CF-35 variant with a drogue parachute and refueling probe has been on the drawing board for some time. I've followed the development of the F-35 since the early days of ASTOVL and are convinced it's about the closest thing to a current gen F-18 Hornet. More importantly it's stealthy and a step forward in military aviation, whereas some of the competition seemed to be bridges between 4th and 5th gen aircraft. I'm still pissed the CDN gov't took this long to make a decision which was first suggested in 2011 and which IMO was the inevitable choice. But I'm glad for it none the less. Canada has only flown USA fighter jets (due to the Avro Arrow being foolishly cancelled) although we domestically manufactured both the F-86 Sabre and F-5 Freedom Fighter. The CF-35 will be the 7th of such jets, so the tradition continues.

Based on my experience not the simple tga way as it is established, you need a separate mesh for that in the pit.lod, then it will work. That is how the Su27 and Mig29 pits were made with it.

To buy the F-35 seems to be a fashion today. The only advantage of this plane is stealth. But stealth depends on the computer capacity of the radar system which tries to detect a stealth plane. and the computer become more and more efficient. So radar systems can detect today much smaller radar echos than 10 years before and in 10 years they will be able to detect much much more smaller radar echos. What means, that a point will come when the F-35 s no stealthy anymore. And at this point the weak points of the F-35 will count, as there are: bad agility compared with a F-16 or F-18, lower weapon load capacity, high maintenance costs. Finally it will be that Air Forces who buy the F-35 will have a very expensive plane, but will not have the money to operate it properly. I think a plane like the F-18E or the Eurofighter or the modern Gripen, equipet with a state of the art jamming system, will be on long run a much better and cost efficient solution for the most Air Forces of this world. For Germany, for example, i would wish we would buy 250 Gripens instead 35 F-35.

In early 1991 12 MiG-23ML of the former Jagdfliegergeschwader 9, based at Peenemünde, were ferried by former east german pilots to Ramstein AFB. It was the last flight of german MiG-23s. The planes were a present of Germany to the USAF for the preparation of the Gulf War. The 12 MiG-23ML were shipped to the USA and were used their at Nellis AFB as part of the Aggressor Force of the Red Flag exercises. Before the USAF got the german MiG-23ML the Aggressor pilots called the 23 as a bad plane. After flying the MiG-23ML nobody of them called the Flogger as a bad plane anymore. And finally a real picture of the MiG-23ML at Ramstein AFB. Today one of the german MiG-23ML is to be seen at Evergreen Air & Space Museum Oregon in its original camo and insignia. http://www.theedges.org/Aviation/Aeroplane_Museums/Evergreen/evergreen_Mig23_Flogger.html It is also said, that one 23ML is exhibited at Nellis AFB museum, but with iraqi camo and insignia.

My other car is a Jaguar..... Gas mileage ain't great, but she sure is pretty.

AH-1G ...

CAS, and I can't find that SAM launcher..... And then I saw a smoke trail outta the treeline... Use the last of the rockets and get going.... Home in time for breakfast...

Unfortunately, the technology DLLs were very specific to the aircraft they were intended to support. As Third Wire never intentionally released flyable red side aircraft with cockpits, the DLLs needed to support red side avionics don't exist. I haven't messed with the HUD dll in a long time, but I recall from playing with the MiG-23 parameters that there isn't too much you can change: either the function you need exists and works the way you need it to, or it doesn't. To the best of my knowledge, no one has tried to produce modified DLL files, which would be an interesting possibility if someone had the skills.

I hope we might eventually follow suit. Having to replace the Hornet as well, it might be interesting to look at some made with the same refuelling system, although I reckon there would be more peculiar features for Canada that might not be as needed in Spain.

Inside the CF-5_Cockpit.ini or something like this, add the following line right under the cockpit position settings: OpenCockpit=TRUE
