The F-4 in his sig is called the F-4E(S). It's actually part of the F-4 pacakge that the Mirage Factory released. The gun fairing was retained because they were modified gunnosed F-4Es, instead of purpose built RF-4, "Three Israeli F-4E modified for high-speed reconnaissance as a cheaper alternative to the ambitious F-4X. Fitted with a new nose containing the HIAC-1 LOROP long-range camera with a 66-in (168 cm) focal length as well as a vertical KS-87 camera. The aircraft had a false radome painted on the nose to resemble conventional F-4Es" Tomcat_ace, you are beating a dead horse. We dont not believe you about MWS being available in real aircraft, it's just not available in the sim. The code isnt there to begin with, so we cant tweak it to add it. Yes it would be nice to have an MWS that auto fired flares in response to an IR threat. Sorry man.

It seems to me that the radio chatter is the loudest of all sounds and I'd like to reduce it's volume a touch. Is there something in the Speechsystem.ini that allows that? Storm

Cant get anything past you guys. You're always two steps ahead of us mere mortals. Cheers!

Fast Cargo's release of the F-15 ACTIVE had me thinking about other test aircraft and the AFTI F-16 came immediately to mind. It was, in my mind, what the F-16 should have been. Seeing the videos of it in motion, plus talking with a good friend who was one of the AFTI program engineers, convinced me of it's capabilites. Just tossing it out there to add to the ever growing list. Storm

Here is mine from earlier today. "Goin' high right" Storm

USAF was an even lighter sim than these, so I'd take alot of what was in those games with a tablespoon of salt, so to speak. Currently, it's just not possible in this sim. Check back next week though, as new things are always being found that previously were impossible.

That was one of the photos I was trying to find. The side view shows the nose snapping nearly off the jet :( Great find. Storm

VMFP-3 did take their RF-4B aboard carriers for short cruises. I cant find anything that shows them actually assigned to an air wing though. Storm

You guys should patch a clean install. Otherwise you're more than likely going to lose some things. Storm

Congrats! I just got home from this latest deployment and will take mine in a week or so. Then the DOV job is mine ;) Storm

Just great. Another person next to me that can b*tch at me when my driving isnt good enough ;) Seriously, looks great. Storm

Some do and some dont. It's more of a broad catagory. Especially in these sims. There are ones that are used as an IRST/FLIR and other that are used for guidance, like on the Maverick. I think the trick would be to add something to the IR missiles that the RWR would read and alert you. Storm

Each active-duty/AFRes wing has a few MPRS (Multi-Point Refueling System) jets assigned to them. The ANG do not. The pods dont come off unless they are removed for maintenance reasons. Here is a good picture I found on the net of it in action. "An Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker from the 340th Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron refuels a Royal Air Force GR-4 Tornado over Iraq Feb. 25 using the multipoint refueling system. With MPRS, Air Force tankers have the versatility to refuel Air Force, Navy and coalition aircraft all in the same mission. (Royal Air Force photo)" Photo here: http://www.strategypage.com/military_photo...0734151846.aspx According to my logbook, I was actually flying this jet when this pic was taken back on the 25th of Feb. Cool huh? Jeff P.S. I've got a ton of detail shots of the MPRS if needed

Veltro, that is too funny! Thanks! Jeff

Those 'Stangs are gorgeous. Great to have more Korean era aircraft.

I dont believe a MWS for an IR threat is possible yet. The issue being with the missile itself in that it doesnt give off any "warning" that it's fired, other than your wingman callouts. Nice idea though. It could be just an ini tweak that hasnt been looked at/for. Storm

Ahh, theres my girl. She brought me home again yesterday from the desert. Will be nice to have her in the sim finally. Storm

Externally, the main difference are in the number of lumps/bumps that are on the vertical tail. The A-model only had two, while the C had three. A-model tail: C-model tail: The bumps on the back of the spine were added to all Legacy Hornets: Jeff

The LITENING pod is in MF's other weapons pack. If you got it installed in WOE, just copy it over and add the text to the weapons.ini, etc... Here is a LANTIRN pod: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5717 And here is the wep packs: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...amp;showcat=340 Storm

Flew a 1957 KC-135 today and this was the hot topic during the flight. Pisses us off to no end that this hasnt been resolved yet. Our take is that they dont care until jets start falling from the sky. Storm

Just landed from a sortie over Iraq myself. We flew 40 flags in rememberance. Stay safe! Might be over your way in the next day or two. Storm

WoV Israeli Air Defense Force Squadrons View File Here is a complete list of IDF squadrons placed into Squadronlist.ini form. Simply drop into your PilotData folder and make the appropriate edits to your individual aircraft's if you want to place it with the correct squadron. Enjoy!

Does anyone have a decent tutorial on editing the aircraft's FM? I'd like to give the Herk some help since it's a fairly simple aircraft and I've got several hours in it, to use as a comparison. I'd like to kill some of it's tendency to lift off at 90kts and keep climbing, even in level flight. It needs some love. Thanks! Jeff
