  1. OMG That was funny and you answered the question too. I even learned something.
  2. More Dumb School News

    What word?
  3. Here is some good reading. http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_337.shtml http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_339.shtml the Yak-38 was used too: http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_488.shtml During April and May 1980 four Yak-38s and four AV-MF pilots were deployed to Afghanistan as part of a 50-day trial codenamed Romb-1, although the ‘hot and high’ conditions prevented any meaningful combat missions from being undertaken – in total, 12 combat sorties were made, but only two 100-kg bombs could be carried. In the event, any involvement would have been further limited by the ‘near-operational’ nature of the Romb-1 deployment (which also involved the first and third prototype Su-25s). The aircraft involved were not intended to be subject to combat, but rather tested under conditions that simulated the battlefield to a high degree. Despite their official non-operational nature, aircraft involved in the Romb trials could be requested to undertake combat sorties by local divisional commanders, on an ad hoc basis. The Yak-38s and prototype Su-25s operated out of a specially prepared air base near Shindand. Even with a much-reduced fuel and weapons load, the Yak-38 proved incapable of operating during the hot daylight hours (after around 0500 hrs); on the basis of this poor showing, the VVS quickly lost any remaining interest it had in the type.
  4. It had to be me...

    Wow talk about ducking the bullet. That'll teach you to online date.
  5. Welcome back, you did just disappear all of a sudden.
  6. I am flying as a A-4 pilot in the Yom Kippur War. Provided I survive, if I were to use this same pilot in the 82 campaign what aircraft would he progress into?
  7. No offense taken. I was just covering my ass because some numb nut will think I am being some greedy tyrant or accuse me of something of the likes. Then they will get all upset and cry over on another forum about how I am being unfair or whatever. I have to do that because everything I say or do gets put under the microscope because I am just an ass to everyone. (So its been said by some former members of CA) So it was a disclaimer of CYA. Good work on the mod.
  8. My First Flight Sim

    Wow Ed that is SOOOOOO 1960's...
  9. So there I was in my Kfir in the 1982 Lebanon War doing an air defense suppression mission. Well we were late to the airfield because we got jumped by some Mig-23's. So we fought our way in, I got 2 and my wingman got the other 2. (AIM-9L's work well) We hit our targets anyway with the CBU's we were carrying. I mean why let good ordinance go to waste. I sent my wingman in first, he expended his bombs and I sent him home because he declared bingo. So I rolled in hot. Hit one ZSU-23 and then hit another while dodging some fire from some BTR's. I got one of those with the last CBU's and rolled off the airfield and headed for home. As I kicked in the burner to roll over and head home I looked out the right side of my canopy. I couldn’t believe it, a whole family of Mig-23's were lined up for landing. 6 in all. I couldn't resist, I pulled back on the stick, turned high and to the right and put myself on the tail end Charlie. I lined up my with my 30mm's and squeezed the trigger. Tail end Charlie exploded in front of me, keeping the momentum, I fired again and got 2 more. Then the AI did something I have never seen it do. They broke. 2 of them peeled off and one was touching down. Never seen that before, most times I see them land and no one even budges. I need to have fraps running next time as I am not sure if that could happen again. Anyway, after I saw them break I realized I was out of ammo and low on gas. So I kicked in the burner to get as much space from them as possible. They seemed to mill around for a bit so I used that to my advantage and escaped. Landed back at base with fumes and ace in a day. Doubt that will happen ever again like that.
  10. Maybe the person who made it will see this and will let you add the LOD's. In my defense I was only following the guidance I was given when it was added to the NF4+ mod. This was not an attempt to be greedy and the likes. The same thing goes for the F-117A in the DS mod.
  11. I think it has a great sense of scale, especially at 30,000ft and the contrails start. I think it might be your imagination.
  12. Canadian joke

    Wait, the French have invaded Canada and taken over? TO ARMS TO ARMS. THE FRENCH HAVE OVER RAN CANADA! TO ARMS, TO ARMS!!!!!

  22. Where is MK2?

    MK2 is busy with his real world business. He pays us lackeys to run the CA for him.
  23. For the record Matt, we have a pilot figure with your likeness on it when we are testing planes. Not sure if you want to know how many times he has crashed......
  24. To The Admin or Dave Please

    Go into your profile, then go to "Edit Profile", from there another screen will pop up. Then go to "Settings", then from there you will see a section called "Manage attachments" There you can delete any attachments you made.
  25. Someone else using your account maybe? That is odd and I will look into it. Also a little politeness goes along way.
