TMF F-15A converted to SF2, works perfect! No holes is a testament to the quality work of Flying Toaster and BPAO!

The difference is that he wouldn't get mauled here because (to put it very bluntly, so please forgive me) I am the asshole prick to runs this place and the first sniper at him just to be a jerk gets the boot along with is I.P. and domain. I am getting really good learning how that works. TK I know you are reading this and FYI the crap that went down at Simhq that caused you to leave there WILL NEVER happen here.

La ringrazio molto amico mio.

I want to clear up something too. I am not slamming TK at all. It is his business after all. There are some of us here who have been his cheerleaders through the worst of it. We supported his sim, defended him from the trolls and naysayers. Not even a thank you from him for when we went to "war" for him on many many occasions. I think some of us have earned the right to have an opinion on the direction of the sim without getting jumped on. Do not get me wrong we are not looking for a thank you from him. But he could be a little less stubborn in some cases. Also there is a group of us who would help him for free if he would only dive in to the wealth of knowledge some of us have amassed over the years. Think about it, some of us have been with this sim for almost 8 years! I know he wants to keep control of his world but by opening the sim like he has he created this monster. Why not use it to his advantage. Example, we have skinners to help DanW, we have 3d guys to help TK or whom ever else he uses to make this sim. I can think of several of them who would do it for free for just the opportunity to make this sim a financial success. All he would have to do is ask. I want new sim to do well but if an abundance of old stuff makes it into the new sim them people aren't going to bite. The new terrain engine is a step in the right direction but there needs to be more. I have probably burned my last bridge TK after this but I am being honest and opened. I think we have earned that right for what we have done for each other over the years. He needs us just as much as we need him for our hobby.

I am opening this up Kevin. Diego is right on the money. We have been supporting him for years and years. He shouldn't get bent out of shape when people ask for the things we have been asking for years. Some of them are very minor, I have talked to a few game devs and some of what we ask is not difficult to do. I bought all the first and second series, loved his support for it all, however the new series had better be different, or I am done. This site is mainly dedicated to his sims and we steer a lot of business in his direction, as does SimHq, so I am thinking hearing us out a little more instead of getting upset is preferable. You can only say "time and money" is an issue so many times before people get sick of hearing it and move on. If TK wants any future sims to be a success then he needs to give a little here and there to set this new series apart from the old. If the people think they are getting the same thing as gen 1 and 2 they wont gravitate to a 3rd.

Hey I haven't seen Baghdad Bob in awhile either. I wonder where he went?

Oh that's right. I thought it wasn't correct but I couldn't be sure.

It has an F-5 pit already.

FOR DA WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gunpos doesnt fire. It is just there for weight. Seriously.

This is s**t hot Mike! Thank you.

http://www.bunyap2w1.com/campaigntut.htm Is this the one you are talking about?

That was awesome! Just simply awesome. Thank you.

I am assuming things like screen shots etc? You need to delete the stuff you don't need is my guess.

Even better, please upload these soon!!!!!!

Oh I cant wait for these. Wonderful wonderful wonderful!

I don't need to be reminded, I am part of it everyday. I may not be a trigger puller however my missios gets those guys they equipment they need to do that mission. Or when I was in AWAC's and they forward deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan getting the ground the guys the airstrikes and CAS they needed. Even though my mission in the USAF is to fly fight and win, the guys on the ground are the most important and those guys are my heroes. Anyway we all simulate this stuff and this is good footage of something we are interested about. Lets not rip it to pieces because of the moral implications. Its a f***ing good gun kill. UP That is a classic sign I love it.

Right on SE. I have also wondered how many kills the Navy missed because of not having a gun. I am sure many a fighter pilot will tell you that knowing they had a gun just in case made them feel alot better. I wonder how many F-4E drivers were out of missiles but got back in the fray to save someone knowing the gun was there. This is why we will always have a gun on our planes or have the ability to carry a gunpod worthy of A2A engaging.

And that living soul was the enemy. So too bad for him. I have no sympathy for the enemy at all. I can care less about their family etc. If they tables were turned he would of tried to kill me. So please don't try to put a moral spin on it all. We all know war is bad but I'm not about to get all wishy washy about it. This was a good gun kill.

So true....

That a good place for Mig-17's too, getting raked by 20mm cannon fire.

I just got a boner!

With Israeli Air Force short on recce aircraft because of the protracted war losses they asked the USAF to assist in make sure the Soviets were not supplying the Egyptian air force with medium to long range bombers. The ingress in was uneventful with a few pot shots at me from AAA sites. Our EC-121 called out a couple Migs on patrol and they seemed to get a vector on us but we kicked in both cans and they didnt have a chance to even get a visual. We expected all hell to break loose but not a single SAM was fired. We got over the target, and took our pictures. We left the area in a hurry where some more Migs were hanging around but again our speed kept them at bay. We were feet wet about 25 mins later. With the base in site we were able to breathe better. The film was rushed to the lab and we got a great shot of the airfield. The lab crew blew up the pictures and I eye spied with my little eye nice new shiny Tu-16's. We all know Badgers are not native Egypt. The Russians have some explaining to do. I wonder what the UN securty council will have to say this?

While the backseater does all the work!
