Templates for the Mirage Factory Mirage 2000?
ghostrider883 replied to tn_prvteye's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
By any chance was a template for the MF Mirage 2000C released? Would love to add some details to the skin to represent an Indian Mirage 2000H Vajra. -

F-104A, RJAF Skin/Decal Pak
ghostrider883 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
It needs new serial numbers pack, now that we know all Paki assigned serial nos of ex-Jordanian F-104s. The camo colours also need to be toned down. Anyone willing to do it, Paulo perhaps ? He came up with some amazing skins for the IAF Type 77 MiG-21FL -
F-104A, RJAF Skin/Decal Pak
ghostrider883 replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
The Jordanians painted their Starfighters(atleast some of them) prior to 1971. That's because some of the Jordanian Starfighters that flew with the Pakistani AF in the 1971 war had desert camo painted on them. They just repainted PAF roundels on them. The F-104A that was shot down on December 12, 1971 by Flt Lt Soni( MiG-21FL) sported desert camo, indicating it was an ex-RJAF machine. http://combatace.com/files/file/1448-f-104a-pakistan-air-forceex-rjaf-9-sqdn/ -

INS Vikramaditya starts sea trials
ghostrider883 replied to ghostrider883's topic in Military and General Aviation
Indian Navy's MiG-29K/KUB squadron( INAS 303 "Black Panthers) is fully operational with 16 MiG-29K/KUBs. Additional MiG-29K/KUBs are on order for a MiG-29K second squadron. Looking at the size of the ship, don't think it can more than 10 or 12 MiGs. It also will early Ka-28/29 ASW and Ka-31 AEW helicopters. Single seat MiG-29K (8XX serial no series): Twin seat MiG-29KUB (6XX serial no series) IN MiG-29KUB on board the Kuznetsov -
Turkish F-4 down on the Border with Syria....
ghostrider883 replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Military and General Aviation
There are RoE to be followed in such situation and I ma sure you are aware of what the "violated airspace" nation needs to do. You don't simply start firing SAMs or AAA at intruders ,especially when you are not at war with a neighbour. In late 2011, an IAF Cheetah helicopter lost its way and strayed into Pakistani airspace in Kashmir. It was intercepted by PAF fighters, forced to land in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Its crew was interrogated and let off with their helicopter later in the day. Pakistani AD could so easily have fired SAMs and AAA at the chopper to bring it down. Inspite of the bad blood between the two nations, they didn't and followed RoE, which the Syrians in this case failed miserably to follow. -
Turkish F-4 down on the Border with Syria....
ghostrider883 replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Military and General Aviation
Remember the Paki Navy Atlantique shoot down incident? Quite similar to this, except that the intruder was intercepted by a pair of IAF MiG-21bis and asked to land at an IAF base. Only when the the Atlantique turned aggresively towards one of the interceptors, was the Atlantique fired upon down over Indian territory. I don't think in this case the TuAF RF-4E crew was even warned. -
Who was updating Ajundars Starfighters?
ghostrider883 replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Awesome work Spillone. Would love to see these : Unit: 9 Sqn, PAF Serial: 56-800 Unit: 9 Sqn, PAF Serial: 56-775 Sargodha AFB, circa 1971. Reports from Indian MiG-21-pilots that engaged PAF Starfighters in air combats on 17 December 1971 indicate that the Starfighters wore 'desert camouflage'. It is now well-known that a number of Starfighters from the No.9 Squadron Royal Jordanian Air Force were sent to Pakistan during this war: some of these aircraft were camouflaged, and it is now believed that the Indians on 17 December engaged these 'ex-Jordanian' F-104A's, shooting down two of them and one of original PAF Starfighters as well. -

Spinners, Pakistan was offered 110 A-7D Crosairs in 1975 by Nixon/Ford Admin as carrot to lure Pakistan away from its nuclear program. Pakistan rejected this offer. -

LCA Tejas- Navy flies for the first time
ghostrider883 replied to ghostrider883's topic in Military and General Aviation
Realistically not before 2018(INS Vikrant under construction). Though the INS Vikramaditya( ex- Soviet Navy Adm Gorshkov) would be ready for commissioning by December 2012. It will be interesting to see what the single seat Naval Tejas looks like. Comparing the Air Force & Navy Tejas Trainers, they look almost same. However, I expect the single seat AF/Navy varinats to be different(looks wise). Navy Tejas(Trainer): Air Force Tejas(Trainer) -
Mirage 2000 Pack (WIP)
ghostrider883 replied to ace888's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
ace, nice work on the indian mirages . however,I feel it needs a couple of corrections. 1) on the rudder, it should be Mirage 2000H & not "EH". 2) the font for the serial numbers are incorrect. Can someone suggest a accurate font for the Indian Mirage serial numbers( as shown below) ?. I tried, but could not find any accurate font. -
