Crusader

Yep no function for it in SF2, and podded ECM isnt functioning for AI planes anyway.

Block 10
- check tailplane size,  the enlarged version that came with Block 15 has more area on the leading edge too and not only the bigger trailing edge
This (large-area leading edge) is wrong on the TW F-16A, iirc
- fuselage pylon, there are two -  1 for tank/bombs, a shorter and shallower pylon for ECM pods (missing on all F-16's iirc)
- wing weapons pylons - only 1 type (size/shape) for all 4 wing positions (the short one on the model is correct)
The longer pylon presently on the innermost position is for large 600 370 Gal tanks - both tank and pylon are jettisoned as one unit
EDIT large 600 Gal tanks have their own pylon, its a export F-16C thing
- Block 10/15 have only the 2 rearmost C/F dispeners, not the 2 extra on the LH side

IIRC the TMF ac have the wingtip launchers OK but the wing launchers are at 0 angle.. dont know about the wing pylons (tanks/bombs)
And the 370 Gal tanks should have their own integral pylons

Strangely when the F-4s fired their guns, the pilots said "Fox 3"..

"Fox 3" is the old teminology for "firing guns", from the time before active homing missiles entered service.

Happens when the Hurricane hits the paint shop - a big mess

Good place for research:

The data is not 100% accurate but gives a very good overview.

What variants of the AIM-9 Sidewinder were in service with US-friendly countries in the Middle East (Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc.) in 1972, 1975?

AIM-9B was still the "export standard" item back then.
AIM-9E and AIM-9J (the original variant, often offered as rebuild/upgrade of B and E) for few customers. E.g. Iran got E and J, Saudi Arabia as well.

Congratulations for the new release!

A lesser known source for older files is the Checksix library

Categorie - select S.F. Project 1 or WOE / WOV
Type - select Avion (aircraft) or Skin etc to narrow down your search. Or leave it at "all" and click through the pages

Most of the TMF releases up to a certain date should be available, and also the two official TW stand-alone releases - the F-104G and A-4F.

Yaa its happening... all the changes to F-15C (many), some to the Hornet and even a few to the Tornado

Great work, as usual! Which chopper is this? I'd like to d/l it.

AH-1G a bit down the list...

Yes very bad when they are on the loose everywhere...

The solution:
Start your own loose runners containment operation ASAP !!

1. Create a new folder named GroundObjects inside the Afghanistan terrain folder
2. Move the runners into the new folder, don't forget the damage textures/destroyed lod

Mission Accomplished!

When you say the mod folder do you mean the one under saved games or something else?

Correct, actual path depends on Win version and SF2 install but the end should be like this:
Saved Games/..../Third Wire/Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic/Objects/Weapons

Interesting.

Fingers crossed that type-specific avionics come true, one day.
This would make BMS very interesting for me 

F-15 HUD symbology
Is it now possible to make the airframe-specific HUD/avionics instead of having F-16 avionics everywhere ?
