Really? Well, well why don't you go over to the ThirdWire forums and tell TW about your stock SF2E install that allows you to fly Eagles in 1997. I'm sure they would be very curious as to where you got that particular version of SF2E. FC

The problem is I have just bought one of these with upgraded specs... http://laptops.techcrunch.com/l/937/x15e And all of a sudden I want to play games again...especially coming from my Dell m1530.... FC

Actually, the plain jane version is still only $5.99, with the GOTY edition at $11.99. Man, either one is a deal... FC

Just use FFARs in an air to air mode. Several aircraft in the sim do it...and the results are what you would expect, just like in real life...they kind of suck. FC

Yep...stock TW Lightning use FFARs for A2A. Also, F-103 will do the same. FC

Really? I was just on and didn't see it for that cheap... FC

Okay, more testing. Just flew a strike mission on the Range...6 GBU-38s dropped (one by my wingman). Result was 4 destroyed targets including primary (wingie scored with his drop). What I noticed was the basket seems 'steeper' than it used to be...you can't do a shallow attack now. Drops were level flight, 300ish knots, about at least a 5 second run in before drop. Everything on Hard and verified the GBU-38s are using GPS Homing for guidance...Jul 12 patch in SF2V stand alone. My opinion is that JDAMs work, but their tolerance is much tighter for drops... FC

I'm waiting for Fallout 3 to get a little cheaper before I buy it. I'm about 4 years behind on my shooters. The only advantage is that by the time I get the games, I have the hardware already available to run it.... HL2:EP2, KOTOR II, Bioshock, COD4, ArmA Gold, DX:HR, COH, the entire Total War series, GRAW, FEAR... Plus I get nostalgic and occasionally replay games like Tron 2.0, NOLF 1 and 2, Portal 1 and 2, EECH.... Then there are the free mods like BSG:Dispora, Wing Commander Saga, The Babylon Project, Black Mesa... Arrgh! FC

Also, TW sims can model weapons that have 'Home on jam' capability...your jammer actually becomes a beacon that the missile homes in on. FC

JDAMs seem to work fine for me...just destroyed a SAM launcher with a GBU-38. Just flew in the general 'basket' area and released. Verified with the weapons editor that the bomb is using GPS Homing for guidance. This is in SF2V with the Jul 12 patch. FC

Hit the 'wheel Brake' key. FC

Yes and no...set the Wayback Machine... I believe the old Bunyap's weapons back has the CFTs as a separate LOD file. But you'll have to do some tweaking to bring it into SF2... FC

Niiice... FC

The stock game only goes up to 1984,,,so the coding will normally only cover that time period and eariler. FC

JM, It's awesome...grab it my friend! FC

Heck, I'm just digging Black Mesa right now... It was worth the wait. FC

Cool!...or should I say...sweet! FC

Damn it! I even searched for 'Harvest Hawk' on the site to make sure I wasn't covering old ground... FC

You get the Harvest Hawk mod for the Marines KC-130J: http://www.globaldefencemedia.com/news_daily/05_04_2011/KC-130J_Harvest_Hawk.html To recap...tanker, tactical transport and: Yeah buddy! FC

7z is the standard we've been using recently because it has some of the best compression out there. I am surprised you are having problems...7zip is relatively straight forward to use. What operating system are you using and what errors are you getting? FC

Those pics are just too unclear to determine how authentic they are. This is one of those things I'm really surprised there isn't more information on. FC

There are rumors that some Iranian F-14s were evaluated by the Soviets back in the day (and a badly photoshopped pic of a Tomcat with a red star on it). I kind of wonder with all the wreckage from the various aircraft lost over Vietnam that one flyable example wasn't reverse engineered. FC

I'd be curious as well...I was running into the same issue with ground objects I was creating. FC

SP4 = Service Pack 4. Long since out of date. Best thing is to use the 083006 patch or the 2008 patch. FC
