Sweet!

Cool toy. Gives an excellent look around the Hornet. Congrats on the oppurtunity and thanks for sharing it. -Jeff

Why not? A V/STOL aircraft is a holdover from the Cold War. The USMC has been operating from shore bases or cross-decking onto the CVNs. The job of the Amphib carrier can be done with a CVN. Just change up the airwing and add more helos/Ospreys. The B just doesnt bring much to the fight. It's short legged and weight restricted. IMO, an all F-35C purchase by all 3 services would be the winner. Add the internal gun from the A and you have a sweet jet.

I can't speak for John or Jeremy, but contact them directly and see what they. I know Jeremy plays the SF series, so might be more inclined to give the ok.

Yeah, it's a group we started up in Wichita, Ks. We've got a site in works. It's not were we wanted it to be yet, but is viewable. www.air-capital-images.com Thanks!

Thank you Gents. I appreciate the comments. -Jeff

Life is good lately. I actually feel like a real boom again.

As a user, I can say that for freeware, I'm happy with the results so far. Far better than the stock anything from TW. As for Aeyes, his stuff is all payware so more attention should be given to polishing everything since money is in the loop. Kind of an unfair comparison. Nice work Brain. -Jeff

Quote of the day.

Duke and Willy Driscoll in their prime. Sadly, Cunningham now resides in prison for being a corrupt politician.

Great field of view!

To all of those who did not come home and to those that carried on afterward.

Saw F-35B BF-12 fly this past Friday. Went down to Ft Worth with the hopes of photographing some. After morning technical issues, a single Bravo went up later that afternoon. The A-model was hard broke. Apparently, it's (the B) not favored by anyone, but politics have gotten so far out of whack about it, no one knows what to do. The RAF looks to get 2 Bravos for training at Eglin, but the rest will most likely be the C-model. But yes, I agree they should scrap the project and proceed with Supers and Hawkeyes. So much $ already wasted.

File Name: NOTU A-4E Skyhawk File Submitter: ST0RM File Submitted: 08 May 2012 File Category: A-4 My latest Flight Test scheme is an A-4E Skyhawk from the Naval Air Test Center, Ordnance Test Unit, China Lake, circa 1968. To install, simply drop everything into your MOD folder. I've included the VHF antenna Russouk2004 made for me, as the TW stock A-4E was missing it. It's already added to the jet via my enclosed DATA.ini file. Please add the following text to the SquadronList.ini [squadronXXX] Name=VX31 DisplayName=VX-31 Red Devils Nation=USN I know Test schemes aren't for everyone, so for those that appreciate the old days of Flight Test, this is for you. Thanks again to Russouk2004 for the antenna, And Wrench for the assist with the aux fuel tank decal tip. And of course TK for the base files. -Jeff "Storm" Stoermer Click here to download this file

No prob Dave. Glad to do them. I love those old red/white test jets. Should have been born 40 years earlier.

No Vipers here, just more testing. Weapons Test Unit A-4E

Is there a decent stock of antennas available for use via the fake pilot method? I need add one to the hump just aft of the canopy hinge. The same one that is on the A-4B. I'd use that, but the LOD is in lockdown. Any ideas? Here's a pic of a late model A-4E with the antennas, but the stock jets dont have them at all. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/A-4E_VA-164_1967.JPEG

Nice photos. The first shot with the fisheye is fantastic.

So does the SMS page stay updated realtime? So when you cook off an AIM-9, it disappears from the screen? Bombs, guns, etc? Awesome new look!

Thanks for the tips. I'll work on my stuff tonight and post the results. -Jeff

It worked great. Had it fit in about 5 mins.

Another WIP from China Lake; Weapons System Test A-4E Thanks to Russo for the new antenna

Thanks Russo. Exactly what I needed. You rock! -Jeff
