I love all of Gods creatures. They taste great. :ph34r: CL

Its up now. :ph34r: CL

AD-4 = A-1D AD-5 = A-1E AD-5N= A-1G AD-6 = A-1H AD-7 = A-1J Sometime in the 1950s they changed the Nomenclature system for Military AC to be workable for all branches. Check out these Links: http://abledogs.com/ http://skyraider.org/ http://www.vc-35andvaaw-35.org/index.html :ph34r: CL

Ah! I just "field modded" my AD-6, AD-7, and A-1Hs using the old or previous positions. I'll make sure the crack twidgets on the A-1E / AD-5 countermeasure installation team get the new bucket position before they start cutting holes in the Hobos. We also have been wiring Right Wing Outboard Station 6(AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,RCKT,EP) so we don't tie up a heavy weopon station with an ECM pod. Perhaps some, wicked, B@d @ss, GTH SPAD drivers also. This Package sounds epic all ready. :ph34r: CL

I added these lines: // Countermeasures --------------------------------------------------------- [Chaff1] SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER EjectPosition=-0.25,-6.00,-1.1 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-5.0 NumFlare=0 NumChaff=30 MinExtentPosition= -0.23, 1.60, 0.74 MaxExtentPosition= 0.23, 2.99, 1.15 [Flare1] SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER EjectPosition=-0.25,-6.00,-1.1 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-5.0 NumFlare=30 NumChaff=0 MinExtentPosition= -0.23, 1.60, 0.74 MaxExtentPosition= 0.23, 2.99, 1.15 SystemName[009]=Chaff1 SystemName[010]=Flare1 The // Countermeasures piece goes in the Data ini. The 2 SystemName lines go in the [Fuselage] section of the Data ini. I forgot that I'm flying a Razbam A-1H but It worked great. The chaff and flares seemed to eject at or just forward of the tail wheel well. I'm Stoked. I'm starting to here some rumors that some wiley sailors from AIMD are doing some TDY on the beech installing this system on some A-1Es. :ph34r: CL

So we have to add a tail section to the data ini. I found this on an A-6 ini: [FuselageTail] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=FuselageTail DestroyedNodeName= DamageRating=DISABLED ShowFromCockpit=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE StructuralFactor=1.2 MassFraction=0.151 MinExtentPosition=-0.60,-3.59,-1.10 MaxExtentPosition= 0.60, -10.20, 0.67 CollisionPoint[001]= 0.0,-10.40,-0.218 SystemName[001]=TailHook SystemName[002]=FlareStation1 SystemName[003]=ChaffStation1 Do we need all this? Again from and A-6, and all the other AC that have ECM, Chaff and flares have simliar lines: // Countermeasures --------------------------------------------------------- [ECM] ReferenceName=AN/ALQ126 SystemType=ECM_JAMMER JammerType=DECEPTIVE_JAMMER JammerStrength=40.0 MinExtentPosition= -0.23, 1.60, 0.74 MaxExtentPosition= 0.23, 2.99, 1.15 [FlareStation1] SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER EjectPosition=0.5,-5.0,-1.37 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-8.0 NumFlare=30 [ChaffStation1] SystemType=DECOY_DISPENSER EjectPosition=-0.5,-5.0,-1.37 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-8.0 NumChaff=30 I checked out and A-7 data ini that used chaff and flares. It didn't use a [Tail] or [FuselageTail] entry but still had the // Countermeasures entries as above between the weapons stations and fuel lines. :ph34r: CL

Any chance of getting these also for AD-6 / A-1H. A little chaff seams to go along way in the 60s. I amagine AD-7 / A-1Js had them also. :ph34r: CL

Twice a month whether I need to or not. :ph34r: CL

I was driving back from our district office to the fire warehouse when I saw the distinct shape of 2 Dark, DARK, folded wings with an abnormally large 4 bladed propeller surely connected to a Wright R-3350-26WA parked at Bryant Field in Bridgeport California. Wow a black bottomed Sandy with a TC tail code. Before I made my turn on the dirt road towards the warehouse I could see the window, faint door outline, and scoop over the radar operator's space. Yup. AD-4N. Oh well, He has a real AD and I don't. He could paint it any way he wants. He did choose one of the meanest historical Sandy Skins imaginable. A couple of middle aged yuppies where crawling all over it and mis identifing everything but the motor, cockpit and the exposed gun on the starboard side that has the spray cover removed. The 2 "pleasant gentlemen" informed me what a strange airplane to have 10 or 11 cylinders. They argued for a while whether one of the jugs was an air intake or not. Of course me being a non confrontational coward suggested that the wright cyclone might have 18, 2 rows of 9 cylinders and perhaps this airplane was designed in the 2nd world war as a bomber and to defend itself in a furball and eventually escorted combat SAR helos over Vietnam. I also suggested that this particular bird most likely saw French service in Africa and that is why we are most lucky to see and touch this wonderfull machine today. They treated me like a kook as I did they. Anyway I didn't take any pictures but here is the best link to N65AD I could find: http://www.heritageflight.org/Aircraft_Pag...ider_1_main.htm Gloppita gloppita! :ph34r: CL

Its still here. My thought was that it was staged here for a Memorial day fly over somewhere. Nope. Down Mechanical. The word in the economy is he lost a magneto and dead sticked in and nobody heard it come in. I'm a tad skeptical on that story. 2 magnetos? Slipstream noise and even a dead engine windmilling would make some sound. That would be a bitchin' sound file to have as we are heading back to the boat, get feet wet, loose the engine and turn towards redcrown or any smallboy to shorten our swim. If I was driving my AD and lost a magneto I would definatly pick the closest field and land rather then join the "I wrecked a war bird club". And it is cool having an AD parked at our field. :ph34r: CL

We also lost the XO of NAS Fallon. http://rgj.com/article/20090523/NEWS/90523...%2Fbreakingnews :ph34r: CL

False and negatrons. My holes have pajamas. The person below me sleeps on the ground, and eats bugs and reptiles. :ph34r: CL

True because I don't have a TV but lay in bed awake dreaming of the SPAD channel and the weekend Sandy special and late night Nomad Movie. We do have an AD-4N down mechanical localy tho. The person below doesn't watch any movie made after 1968. :ph34r: CL

Negatrons! The person below me watches daytime TV to see the bare legs of the female hosts an guests. :ph34r: CL

Ok i'm playing too: http://vlad-voyeour.mybrute.com http://hemo-swabby.mybrute.com :ph34r: CL

2 things that work every time despite anybodys beliefs or perception of reality: 1. Gravity. 2. Natural Selection. :ph34r: CL

"Venezuelan Penis Phone"? Is this a new Band? Since 1992 I kept thinking all the good names have been allready been picked. :ph34r: CL

H-60. 3 deceased airmen recovered. :ph34r: CL

Well Doggies. Splendid. Bitchin' This has got to be the cleanest, honest to god Marine AD skin in gull grey I've seen. All others I've seen have rediculously large national insignia. :ph34r: CL

Launch the Alpha Skinners? :ph34r: CL

I heard the rudder pedals of the TU-4 actually had "Boeing" on them. Only in a workers' paradise. The more things change, the more they stay the same. :ph34r:

Old Girl? If there where Left Handed SPADS and Queer SPADS, the airplane would be Male. My favorite women were and are built like an A-1/AD and drive me nuts when dressed in midnight blue or gull grey. Now I'm really confused. Not distracted from my preferances tho. :ph34r: CL

I'm afraid it's niether Miles Corbin, Don Tiki, Little Rockers, Refreshments, Sex Pistols, Generation X, Flamming Groovys, Vapors, Gay Bikers On Acid, Go Gos, Cake, Korn, Grateful Dead, Steppenwolf, Snot Puppies, Sniveling Shi!s, Squares, Residents, Rickalick, Los Strait Jackets, Blue Stingrays, Bel Airs, Surfaris, Dick Dale, Katrina and the Waves, Marshal Tucker Band, US Marine Corps Band, Washington Redskins Band. New Riders of the Purple Sage, Spike Jones, Sons of the San Juaquine, Soggy Bottom Boys, Simple Minds, Burnin' Groove, Gadnium, Offspring, Guttermouth, Glue Gun, Tribe After Tribe, Shoot the Moon, Junior Brown, Lefty Frizell or Glenn Cambell. Nor the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo or the First High Desert Dragoon Orchestra and Marching Band. Aaron Copeland maybe? :ph34r: CL

Arghh! Splendid Score! It's not Career Opportunities by the Clash, Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys, TV Party Tonight by Black Flag, The Theme Song of The Endless Summer by the Sandels or Laika and the Cosmonauts, One Step Beyond by Madness, or Anything by the Aqua Velvets, the Boss Martians, Ramones, Circle Jerks, Minute Men, Meat Puppets, Sucidal Tendencies, X, The Germs, Blondy, Misfits, Gang Of 4, Cure, Cramps, Fear, Jam, Talking Heads, Brian Eno, David Byrne, David Byrne and Brian Eno, TSOL, Disturbed, Ministry, Psycho Firs, Psychotic Pineapple, Corrosian of Conformity.
