"Well boys, I reckon this is it. Nooclear combat, toe-to-toe with the Rooskies."

Good Evening Gents.... No soap on any of it. It's almost as if I have another Nations.ini somewhere that is keeping the latest one from being read, but I can't find it anywhere. It's not a game-killer, but it's one of those little things you notice that makes you crazy when you can't find the problem.

I did. No change. And those are the only 2 that don't register.

Good Morning Menrva. Combination of old eyes, misplaced glasses, and distraction, These are the entries in question. The entries for Ireland are already there as Nation 230, and the Army entries from a helicopter package (I can't remember which specific one) I do use your mod, and the work you put into the details of it is fascinating. I simply tried to add the USA into the entries at the end, and the Irish Air Corp doesn't show at all.

I'll admit that I am out of ideas on something that I should probably already know. How do I get the following to show up in my Nations drop-down list? I've followed all the instructions I have found here, but i cannot seem to get the Irish Air Corp or the US Army Aviation nations to read. What have I missed?

Being on active duty for many of the years of it, I've always been morbidly fascinated by the question: what if the Cold War had run hot....Since the RCAF was tasked with TacNuke Strikes in the Fulda Gap, I tried to imagine what it would look like. Low, Fast, and Lethal.

They really didn't want me to overfly their hidden locale....

Target for today: a railroad bridge in Korea in 1983

I haven't seen the show, but it is a subject that has intrigued me for years. Here's how I see it............. I consider it the pinnacle of foolishness to look at the night sky, (or any other time) any photos of the rest of the galaxy from the various orbital platforms, and any of the shots of the observable universe, and believe there's no one around but us. With the rough estimate of there being 100 - 200 billion galaxies in our universe, the chances that "aliens" don't exist are likely 0. We're in a dark corner of the back 40 in the universe, (off the galactic beaten path if you will) and like the places on earth that fascinate us in those locales planet-side, I have no doubt that interstellar explorers thought the same thing, and came looking. I'd be willing to bet they found us by accident, and then curiosity took over. As for the various excuses made about "why haven't they shown themselves", or "why haven't we seen them"; who says you haven't? Since we have ZERO verifiable public clues of what we are either looking for or at, I'm betting we have seen them. But as humans, we mostly see what we either want or expect to see, and discard anything that doesn't fit our narrative. I also believe we have been EXTREMELY lucky so far in this regard, that the ones that found us were more the scientific/curious type versus the warlike type. If not, we'd probably be dead. Forget "Independence Day"; no alien armada bent on destruction is going to be taken down by a MacBook virus. Any race capable of interstellar travel has conquered engineering, physical, physics, weaponry, metallurgy, propulsion, and every other conceivable and as yet inconceivable problem to a level so far beyond our comprehension, that we'd be no more to them than the bugs we squash that get in our path. As for reverse engineering their gear? Of course;The out-sized leaps in our technology in less than a century bear that out. Call me what you will, but the truth is the truth: as a species, we may have some evolutionary leaps occasionally, but looking at the technological explosion since the late 40's.....we ain't THAT smart.

2 weeks....of course

The Angolan Air Force makes an appearance

With regards to all my "Headhunter" compatriots, allow me to borrow a hallowed phrase...it seems to fit so well here: "You ain't been packed, till you been Wolfpacked"
