Typhoid

Awesome, thanks!! very interesting observation of the grey out.

I wonder what that one might have been.......

seriously - those are some fine, fine catches!! Wish I were there.....

it are. Its an engineering demo.

from what I heard, second hand, he got out ok but the aircraft will only go back to the UK in the back of a cargo plane as partially melted pieces.

a couple of hours ago at China Lake by the RAF guys doing some testing out there. "why?" he forgot to put the rollers down.......

I didn't drive the F-4, just controlled them. The F-4J and S most definitely had pulse doppler and had a pretty good look down capability. The radar display in this light sim is roughly correct with respect to the video quality of the radars from that time frame, but the display is way simpler. The variety of radar modes and selections is in no way modelled to an accurate level of fidelity. Its simplified to be playable.

Just got word from China Lake that the Brits there have verified, once again, that landing gear is still required on the Eurofighter during landing......... film at 11....... (no photos - yet)

grooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!

wagsled, Have you tried the MF Phantoms? How accurate are those FM's?

one of the issues we are working with the FAA on operating UAV's in the national airspace system is their ability to "See and Avoid". I guess this one comes under the heading of "See and not quite avoid....."

absolutely right on!!!!! Where you got your degree matters not one little bit. What you do with what you learned, and CONTINUE TO LEARN is what matters a lot more. Actual acomplishments (like GPA) make far more of a difference than where you went to school. Results matter - nothing else comes close. Resumes for positions look at the last few years only relative to the position you are looking for. "What have you done lately?" is what gets you to your goals. Good luck - study hard. But not too hard. If you aren't having fun, you are not doing it right.

no clue. I would guess that the Tomcat coming off of the cat at about 145kias would not be able to pull more than a couple of g's without stalling. My recollection, purely second hand on this one, is that she earned the name "Turkey" at slow speed for a reason. I would think the g capability wouldn't pick up until above 350kias. For modeling here, I'd say if you can get the stall speeds and stall characteristics right, then you've got a winner. If you have the NATOPS, then you have more info than I have.

I'll look at that. I set up a mission and hunting them down and blowing them is cool. I didnt' see where they would launch though. yet...... You found some pictures of that beast being launched at an angle? I am curious to see that. Everything I've seen showed them being erected from the road mobile mode - but had to be vertical for launch. at any rate - looks cool and lots of mission possibilities here!! Great work!!! (note - comments from me on items that are not perfect are intended only to improve the models and are not intended as being critical of the time and effort people put into them!!!!!!)

good AI. I don't recommend trying to fly a mission with it. It doesn't fly quite right.

looks cool. Looking at the picture - you know a SCUD launches straight up?

definitely single engine. When I flew (in the backseat) of the T-33 which was the trainer mod of the same plane, it most definitely had only one, very weak, motor.

I recall a few "tense moments" with TU-16's..........

Fubar, The original question dealt with the Harpoon anti-runway strike, which remains in the leading hint category. you've raised a different issue which is very intriguing. I've scripted anti-ship missions and except for my immediate wingman - they won't hit the ships. You have apparently broken the code. A hint perhaps? ???

what fubar is trying to lead you to is "what kind of a missile is a Harpoon?" (refraining from further hints with great amusement)

as spectre said - (snag) oh yea......!!!! I had done some similar mods to some other campaigns, but this sounds real interesting for a WOE effort!!! have to check this out in my I/E install.....

did you do the weapon editor edit? check and make sure the Lantirn is there AND that you are setting up a mission in the correct time period. Should work.

there is something just plain awesome about so much airplane with "6 turning and 4 burning"! I liked the part where Jimmy asks about where they are going and the answer comes back "Alaska"...

its absolutely functional and you can self laze - but you need to ensure that it is added in the weapons pack. If you haven't, you should load the MF weapons pack that has the pods. Then it will work like a champ.

My F-15 buds all say that the F-15E loaded up for air to air only is a superb aircraft in that role. The only reason they don't use it for that is because the USAF still has a grunch of A's and C's for that and needs every aircraft it can use in the air to ground role for - air to ground. Yes, the E has bigger engines to match the bigger, heavier airframe which is why it performs as well as the A's and C's in A2A. at least, that's the line I hear from the Eagle drivers around here.
