Ok, now I'm interested ... is this built into winge11 or is a download?? even backing up monthly, and the machine only being a year old, I'm always wanting to stay ahead of any failures

Interesting to see the YAGI antennas on the nose. Great vids, Major Lee!!

View File SF2 Oscar EW-5894 "Bulldog" What If... by Wrench & Marcfighters SF2 Oscar EW-5894 "Bulldog" What If... by Wrench & Marcfighters 5/21/2026 -For SF2, Full-5 Merged -Recommended- The is the release of the EW-5984 (aka F/A-5894) Bulldog light attack fighter bomber as used by THE NAVY. You all should be familiar with it from the movie "Hot Shots". Instead of following the movie, I made it a bit more Realistic(ish) (TM); as if it was a Real World Aircraft (tm). To that end it carries marking consistent with 1991(ish) of a fictious (!!!) squadron, VF-999 "Whompers". Obviously, the aircraft is based on Marcfighters HAL Ajeet, not the Gnat used in the film, as I wanted (ok, needed!) all 4 external hardpoints. The aircraft it fully Carrier Qualified, having been tested in a Full 5 Merged install on all the various USN aircraft carriers of that timeframe. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Almost everything used, weapons, pilots, sounds, cockpit are stock in-game items. The "new" weapon is the rocket carrying drop tanks (with thanks to Svetlin!!). Even the rockets carried in that are stock 2.75 inch units. Please note the "Full 5 Required", as the base cockpit used is that of the A-7E_74. Avionics, of course, are MUCH adjusted! The aircraft is cleared for use of nearly everything in the US Arsenal (tm), excepting Nukes. A laser designator is built into the aircraft. It also carries chaff & flare countermeasures, and internal jamming equipment (framis). On the aircraft selection drop-down screen, you'll see EW-5894 "Bulldog" The aircraft's name has been changed from the film, as CombatAce is a Family Site (tm). Please note, that the Aircraft Short Name, and what will show up on screen when visually targeted will read "F/A-5894". This is simply for gaming purposes. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Please read the Notes section for any other useless bits of information, and full credits. Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.

I can only repeat what everyone else has said --- Take Care of Yourself FIRST!!!!! We ain't going nowhere, and we'll be here when you make your full recovery.

Welcome to all our new members!! Don't forget to pay you bar tab, and definately!! don't forget to tip your waitress!!!

I think that little parachute is very cute!!! (sorry, couldn't resist!!) Not being a 3d guy, would it be a scaling issue, due to it being added as a 'weapon', as oppsed to building it directly in the aircraft model???

WHOA !!!! There's someone we haven't seen in over a thousand years!! Welcom Back Major Lee!!!!

Fine by me!!!!

Not always, but thanks for the compliment! Originally, I WAS using black! Until, I too, found out it's supposed to be Insignia Blue (in most cases!) Just in case you don't have it, and want to make a 'new swatch of said color', the RGB values for FS15044 are 33/48/66 Don't forget to check the downloads section, I THINK I placed them under Templates, are a package of color charts from Simmers Paintshop com, now not longer with us.

View File SF2 Folland Gnat & HAL Ajeet by Marcfighters SF2 Folland Gnat & HAL Ajeet by Marcfighters 5/1/2026 -For SF2, Full-5 Merged -Recommended I found it odd that NO ONE had converted this little bird for use in SF2, either in our India/Pakistan mod, or just in general. So, here we are! 2 Complete aircraft for your flying enjoyment! So, we have both versions of the Folland Gnat, as used by the RAF and some export customers (including India). The other is the HAL Ajeet built for and used by the Indian Air Force,. Mind you, this Gnat and the IAF Ajeet are only the single seat versions. All Indian, Finnish, Yugoslavian serials are 100% historically correct. Just a reminder, this is the SINGLE seat version, =NOT= the two seater T.1 trainer so famously used by the Red Arrows. Skins and Nations: First name is the folder name. Years indicate 'start date' for the SF2 date switch. Gnat: RAF - (no squadron assigned Euro Camo) Finland - (HavLV 11 Euro Camo 1958) India - (No.23 Sqdn "Cheetah"1958 NMF) India2 - (Operational Conversion Unit ? NMF w/spine stripes) 24_IAF - (No. 24 Sqdn "Hawks" 1965 NMF) India3 - (No. 15 Sqdn, 2 Tone Camo 1970) Yugoslavia - (Euro Camo, 2 aircraft, 1958) HAL Ajeet: 2sq_1 - (No. 2 Sqdn Winged Arrows Early NMF) 2sq_2 - (No. 2 Sqdn "Winged Arrows" Late NMF) India2 - (No. 2 Sqdn "Winged Arrows" Camo <1983) All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All production serials for the IAF are included. Almost everything is included; a pilot for the IAF, drop tanks, etc. Both birds use a slightly modified version of the stock 3W Hunter Mk.6 cockpit. All weapons and guns used are stock, in-game items. This makes things so much easier. Hangar and loading screens are either new for this mod, or conversions of the 1stGen units to SF2. On the aircraft selection drop-down screen, you'll see (respectively) Gnat F.1 HAL Ajeet As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Please read the Notes section for any other useless bits of information, and full credits. Also included in the original 'read me' PDF from the 1stGen release in 2007. It contains a full illustrated history of both aircraft, and full credits.

Damn!!! I MUST be getting old -- you nailed it brother!! It was a simple spelling error in the data ini, for the hardpoint!!! Now, the damn things work GREAT!!! Brother Svetlin gets "mentioned in dispatches" for fixing the issue!!

Thank you!!! I'll get things to you over the weekend; although you DID give me an answer! I'll test the one I have with the proper RFT code, and see what shakes out. btw, since it's a USN bird, I used the 275Rocket from the LAU-3A pods

thanks! OTH, I can send you what I've got; the aircraft, decals, experimental broken weapons, etc. You see what I tried to do, and go from there.

Yes, I'm still trying to figure out WHY I can't get rocket pod fuel tank to not only work, but SHOW UP!!!!

Nope. Not even in 1stGen. It never had a general release, even in 2007 when it came out

most likely, as it came with a mid-1950 skin (VP23) needs some decaling and such like. I ordered 2 books I've always wanted from Amazon (one's already here), and found the pilot's manual pdf online, so I've got lots of reference material. I just wish for clearer images of VBP-118s nose arts; got all the historical BuNums for their birds!

I can't stop laughing!!!

Hey!! I won't be 70 until next April!!! Be Nice!!! Whippersnappers!!!

The Gnat and Ajeet are almost done, and should be released before the end of this month. The "Hot Shots" jet is also nearly done, excepting for some small issues. If resolved, it'll follow shortly after, in the "What If" section. It will NOT be using the movie name, as this IS a Family Site (tm). I named it 'Bulldog' (as they hump everything ala "The Boys") I've been given permission from Torno to look over the Privateer, and make any needed 'fixes' to it. I've been waiting for this navy bomber for YEARS!!! and thank him for releasing it, and allowing me to give it some polish.

OK, I guess I deserved that ....
