Jail is well done for the Fruit Picker or everyone who is thinking to do the same. Two months ago a 8 year old boy was caught trying to blind pilots reaching Congonhas Airport here in São Paulo. The boy was doing this every night for months until police finally identify the source at the top of a building and for their surprise was a 8 year old kid. A lot of reports was written by airline pilots about how dangerous and distracting the laser is at final approach. So,don´t think 4 month in jail is too much because hundreds of lifes are in danger right now and safety flight authorities are predicting that sooner or later we will have a tragedy because this (laser poiting at aircraft) is becoming a "funny" joke for idiots around the world.

That´s the best Avia/Me 109 model I have seen so far. It surpasses a lot Il2 models.

How can I fix the effects ,HUD and afterburners?

Hi, Stingray. I´m at the office right now,so I´ll try to look at this tonight to answer your post. ~S~

Well, UnknowPilot I don´t really thimk that the terrain in SF2 series is the best in the market,even if the models are beaultiful enough. If you take a look at the screenshots of upcoming titles, you will see that slowly SF series are beeing dated ( take a look in the cockpit shots of the tiger moth from Storm of war , for example,it´s another level of graphics. If the bar is raised too much, the suspension of disbelief of older titles may become difficult and you ends loosing interest. It´s my perception of things, it´s opened to discussion , and not a personal attack to TK or Thirdwire.

A SF3 title with graphics like DCS,Wings of Prey or even Rise of Flight it´s my dream with TK series , because no matter what kind of sim I play , I always come back here, all these years. But I also understand that those titles are fruit of team work , not by a person alone like TK does. I´m worried about the future of the series because of what I am seeing now, all those big teams delaying so much their titles,struggling with the increasing difficulties of programming titles almost photographic in their image quality ( look to DCS A10 Warthog and say WHOW!) And TK, with all his talent (and I mean real talent) it´s just one man, not the superman. I like very much the huge scope of this series,the ability to fly a wide choice of aircraft and weapons, like if you are FLYING a digital encyclopedia of aerial combat. But the man needs to catch the tecnology to not be too much dated. I hope I don´t need to fly in some Vietnam third party mod for Storm of War for example, who is promising to embrace all eras of flying after it´s lauching,( a Korea mod it´s already promised) because I like very much the open nature of SF2 world, but I believe strongly that sometime, TK (thirdwire), like other well succeed little companies, will have to choose beetween to grow up it´s company or stay behind.

It´s an add-on plane? Or it´s part of a new title?Any inside info?

Exausted that hit effect seems different from mine.Are you using some new effects mod?

Stingray wht you need to edit to fly Mig 21 is: 1-locate in the mod folder ,in the canpaign file , CAMPAIGNNV11 2-open this file , you will find CAMPAIGNNV11.INI, open it. 3-in notepad scroll down until you find VPAF unit list 4-change NVietnamUnit001 and NvietnamUnit 004 changing aircraft type to Mig-21F(001) and Mig-21PFM(004)

I know it´s easy to me just to ask for Falkland 82 mod go for SF2 standart , but this is one of the top mods for me. So,please, can you think about it?

Stingray,into the Mig 21 pack are instructions how to make migs flyable.It´s only a drag and drop thing, easy to do. I already find a way to do a Mig 21 campaign modding the CampaignNV11.INI ( or DATA.INI I don´t remember now) I´m at work now, so tonight I´ll post the exact way to do it for you, it´s very easy. The important is that now I have Atoll missiles to do the dirt job and lots of power to catch those Phantoms and Crusaders.

That´s a beautiful Crusader for sure! I always cry when I kill one with my NR-37...

It´s only a Rolling Thunder campaign flying the Red side. You need the early Migs cockpit mod the "complete Mig 21 pack " The only problem I found is that I can´t for some reason initiate a campaign flying Mig 21. Even if I choose a squadron listed as flying Mig 21 F or E , when I go to hangar screen is always a Fresco-C available. But, everything is working fine. What I discover is that is very rare to succeed in a mission, (always intercept missions) Because you are always outnumbered , the Americans bomb their targets every time ending in a failure to red side.

I´m doing a red campaign in SF2 Vietnam with the XP Gold and man,that´s a terrific experience. You are outnumbered all the time , surrounded by Phantoms that looks like the Battleships from Star Wars from inside the tiny cockpit of Mig 17. The only way to survive is staying very low to avoid the truckload of sparrows they fire in your direction, maitaning high speed all the time and going up fast to shoot in targets of opportunity (the 17 has a real heavy punch in those cannons) I have discovered that Skyraiders and Thunderchiefs are very damage resistant in this game you have to fill them with lead to down one. Bottom line is I think we deserved a red campaign from TK , but the third party we have now is fun like hell (using Fly them All at the moment) Anyone Knows about high resolution Mig 17 cockpit around?
