  1. Quite god job, one question though - does rear fuselage bomb pylons exists in this stage in .lod file?
  2. Not soon enough haha EDIT > It's up now - cool
  3. "We could not find the file specified" ? Not approved yet I guess?
  4. I like this kite very much :yes:
  5. So....if you wanna to fly on "Farmer" you will need this simulator
  6. MiG-19PF is single-seat radar-equipped, all-weather interceptor fighter aircraft; built in small numbers, Chinese equivalent is J-6A have radar and 2x30-mm cannons instead of 3.
  7. Oh yes we know, we got one WIP - Pasko and me
  8. ACES II is currently used on F-15A/B/C/D/E, F-16 A/B/C/D, B-1B, B-2, A-10 and was used in F-117A aircraft, as well as on F-15s and F-16s of 16 other nations. An advanced version has been selected for the F/A-22.
  9. Hey nice overhaulin' thx for this one :yes:
  10. Around this card you BUILD new system not oposite :yes:
  11. Say WHAT? No way Jose - do not send that card back - never mind benchmarks - my brother in law have same card, it's awesome.
  12. Regarding truth mppd.... I do not trust instantly to everything what I read in books or Net. Communist past of my Country learned me that(thrust no one). I do not trust to West sources either, often they are "not complete" or "partly classified". Truth is always "something in the middle". Cheers and keep up with excellent work. EDIT > Just make that damn LAU-7 pylons
  13. Of course that I do my friend, just I know your language a bit - and.... I hoped that you made some stuff :yes:
  14. Anyway - I'm sure mppd that your work will be excellent one (please consider Navy kites loadouts)
  15. That's my point - yea. Falcons look good (interesting though), and that's about it. EDIT> You can hit something with them yea - by mistake only
  16. The meaning of Satish is "victorious" - I smell that Ghostrider is behind of this - or maybe I'm wrong?
  17. Hmmm I think that attempt to hit somethin' with AIM-4 (USAF Phantoms - tail hooked), will result with LOL from MiG-17/19/21 pilot..... unless you flyin' F-102 and aim ground troops with them (known F-102 engagement armed with AIM-4). :yes: hehe...........
  18. Hmmm...very nice. I hope that you will include early F-4B loadout with 6xAIM-7 Cheers and lookin' forward
  19. In short.... My uncle was F-84G pilot and he always talk about it as very good attack plane :yes:
  20. However: one step further - compared with MiG-19> There was one confirmed but hushed-over F-100 vs. MiG-19 encounter, in the early 1960s over Czechoslovakia. A USAFE F-100 from the 50th TFW accidentally crossed the border, and was forced down by two Czech MiG-19s (actually, S.105s) from Plzen-Line, and landed at that same airfield. Knowing how close Line is to the former Iron Curtain, the fact that this Hun could not outmaneuver and/or outrun those Farmers surely confirms the sluggishness and lack of responsiveness. While the F-100 indeed was a further development of the F-86, the only American aircraft to actually put the lessons of the Korean War to use was the F-104. The Hun offered improvements in range and firepower, but none whatsoever in handling and hardly any in performance - certainly not to the level as was desired by the pilots. Sadly for the USAF, when they got involved in Vietnam they simply did not have a better 'fighter' than the F-100 in their inventory. The 104 was already handed over to the Guards (both for range and it's crash rate), the 101 always was unflyable as a fighter because of it's backflip-tendency, the 102 and 106 were GCI-controlled interceptors in the strictest IA-PVO meaning of the word, and the 105 was a dedicated bomber. It wasn't until the F-4 appeared that the USAF got a real fighter again - all the Century-series aircraft were "excuses" for fighters. From reasonable to hmmm, but excuses nevertheless. The only task in which the F-100 was really successful, was CAS. Obviously, the MiG-19 had it's limitations, it's range being a pretty important one (although there was a number of trials with air-to-air refuelling with the MiG-19). But it was definately useful in it's intended role: that of a fighter. And while the MiG-19PM was a totally hopeless missileer, the handful of MiG-19PM(L?) with the PM's radar and Atolls was a lot closer to a real fighter like the F-8C/D than the Hun ever was. Funny is that the F-100 and MiG-19 had a number of similar experiments conducted on them. Both were used for ZELL trials, and one of the MiG-19s refuelling probes tested was built almost exactly like the underwing-probe on the Hun.
  21. BTW In Nam........ F-100's were used early to escort F-105. Some came from bases in Korea if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't long before Phantoms reached the theator and took that mission over. It was never intended for the Hun to do that mission for the duration of the war. By mid to late 1965 (i.e. not too long after the war had started), the Hun was no longer performing escort duties. Of course at that stage in the war all the North had was the MiG-17, and the F-100 far outclassed it in technical sence (or on paper IIRC). In fact, in most early engagements when attacking MiG's sighted escorting F-100's (or F-104's), they simply turned away and didn't engage. I'd say whether you shoot the MiG's down or not, simply keeping them away from the bombers is a successful mission for the escorts. Oh, and by the way I was doing some calculations on lightly loaded F-100's (i.e. flying a similar profile to that typically flown by the MiG-17 on a point defense mission), and Not as good as the MiG, but certainly not that bad. Of course, seeing as the F-100 was mostly tasked with close air support and other A/G missions this was always much lower, but it nonetheless F-100 isn't as inferior in air-to-air combat as you may think. (or feel on your own skin ingame). Pilot is most important thing - not machine itself - proven so many times so far.
