You wouldn't get me in that thing. 100 take off and no landings.

Skip March Patch. Its broke.

Keep us informed about your dad's status. Best to him.

ARNie looking for trouble.

A Tomcat awaits another mission.

You all seen this? I know some of you have amazing screen shot. So flood it.

Wait you are trying to use this in WOE2? Its for SF2, not SF2:E as it uses the default cat file for SF2.

Kind of a love/hate thing going on with the CH-53?

Wilco I love those grey MIIIC's, keep them coming!

Damn it Don, I was keeping it a secret! Didnt want to speak for you.

Thanks Pete. I will install this today.

Too many people are giving out too much BAD information and in turn my inbox gets flooded with people trying to fix screwed up installs because of said bad information.

Do not use any upload or download programs.

Gunner you are wrong. It does add planes (some NF4 didnt have), better terrain than in NF4. And there is no NF5. You can run NF4+ with latest patches but you need to make the HUD and AB effect updates. Other than that it works perfect. But what do I know? Not like I wasn't on the team that made it.

README *********************************** F-105D-25 Thunderchief for Strike Fighters : Project 1 *********************************** build 13-03-2004 *********************************** Installation *********************************** To install the F-105D-25 Thunderchief simply unzip the "F-105D-25" folder and place it in your "Strikefighters\Objects\Aircraft" directory. Then simply run strike fighters selecting Single Mission and picking the "F-105D-25" from the list of flyable aircraft. *********************************** Notes *********************************** SP3 and latest Weapons pack required. *********************************** F-105D-31 Thunderchief introduction & History *********************************** Built by Republic Aircraft, the F-105 was designed as a supersonic, single-seat, fighter-bomber able to carry nuclear weapons and heavy bomb loads over great distances at high speeds. It made its first flight on October 12, 1955. The first F-105D (58-1146) flew on 9 June 1959. The TAC at Nellis AFB, Nevada, accepted the first F-105D on September 28, 1960. The initial contract for 59 F-105Ds was increased to nearly 300 by the end of 1961. Ultimately, 610 F-105Ds were built. The F-105D variant was an all-weather fighter-bomber version, fitted with monopulse and Doppler radar for night or bad weather operations. This radar was capable of terrain avoidance commands. The original weapons bay, designed for nuclear stores, was sealed and fitted with additional fuel tanks. Bombs were carried on multiple weapons racks on the centerline of the fuselage, and on wing pylons. The aircraft was fitted with a retractable in-flight refueling probe. During the Vietnam War, F-105 units operated from bases in Thailand. The F-105D was the major production version of the Thunderchief series. It was an all-weather version of the day-only F-105B. Externally, the -D differed from the -B in having a slightly longer and wider nose, which housed the AN/ASG-19 "Thunderstick" system designed to meet new all-weather requirements specified in the November 1957. The AN/ASG-19 was designed around the NASARR R-14A all-purpose monopulse radar. This was optimized in both air-to-ground and air-to-air modes and was capable of performing both low-level and high-altitude missions. The aircraft was equipped with a General Electric FC-5 flight control system that operated in conjunction with the R-14A radar to provide the F-105D with full all-weather capability. The system included a bomb-toss computer, a sight system, an AN/APN-131 Doppler navigator, an air data computer, missile launch computer, autopilot, and search and ranging radar. The radar installation also incorporated a terrain guidance mode permitting the pilot to descend through bad weather in unfamiliar territory and to hug the ground, avoiding detection. A J75-P-19W jet engine equipped with water injection powered the F-105D. A new cockpit was provided with a vertical instrument panel. The higher gross weight of the -D version required the provision of a stronger main landing gear and more robust brakes. In addition, a pitot tube was mounted on the extreme tip of the nose. The aircraft were otherwise quite similar to other F-105s. The F-105D had an arrester hook mounted on the rear of the ventral fin. This hook was intended to engage a wire in case the aircraft overshot the end of the runway during a landing. The Thunderchief was not capable of carrier-based operations. Known Issues *********************************** * Service pack 3 needed for tape gauges * 23rd skin sharkmouth issue under the nose - cant be fixed, model lost.

Happy Birthday sir.

Keep in mind folks, a language barrier could exist with him using the word best. I think he might of meant favorite or what anyone thinks they best fighter is to him or her.

It has the planes, campaigns and significant terrain upgrades. It need to be updated to use the latest patch feature TK added for DX10 use.

My son runs the 2nd Gen on his 5 year old Dell XPS with very little problems. Had to turn the grpaphics to meduim because the vid card is only 128 MB RAM but that is his only issue.

Flashing lights, reflections, blah blah blah...... If I wanted all that eye candy I would fly MSFS. Just poking at you Jules.... I do agree with you. Seriously though, I want to fly the sim and blow stuff up! Its about the conflict for and the history behind it that interests me.

.

Dont think it ever did. If it did, I never knew about it.

F-15 in that list, never lost in A2A combat. Just my opinion though.

Right on man. We have hit and run trolls that show up and they are the ones we get rid of. To each his own sim and I hate my sim is better than your sim debates. They always get ugly. But other than that if you see the Pub we cover just about every topic. We are very very pro military here too. We have a lot of vets here and tons of active duty from around the world so when someone jumps on the miltary it doesnt go over well. Go figure right. One thing we like to do is rescue sim sites that might go away. That is why we host so many other big name sites here and we are about to pick up another. No sim site left behind!!!!!!!!!!!! Having the OFF guys here has been awesome for example one of the best thing we did.
