I don't think that's greenish brown, its more like yellowish, red....

....and having modded and flown this sim series since 2002, beta tested etc etc etc......here is what I learned, when TK does make his mind up, that is final. We can rant, rave, speculate, etc etc etc until we are blue in the face. Bottom line, it is what it is. Having said that, calling this one step from Ace Combat is not even close to being a true statement. I am not sure what sim you have been playing but mine is not like that at all. I hate threads like these because they always turn into a giant bitch session. Irritating at best. Makes me wonder why people would even fly it if they have so many gripes about it.

It shows, I bomb it daily. I just doesn't show for you Canadair, just to irritate you. That means once you do find it, you have to bomb it.

and here we are......11 hours left......

I will get on those decals and have them done no later than Tuesday.

AIR FORCE NCO CREED (More or less unchanged from our US Army Days) No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer: a leader of people. I am proud of the Noncommissioned Office corps and will, at all times, conduct myself so as to bring credit upon it. I will not use my grade or position to attain profit or safety. Competence is my watchword. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I will always be aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities and display professionalism at all times. I will strive to know my people and use their skills to the maximum degree possible. I will always place their needs above my own and will communicate with my supervisor and my people and never leave them uninformed I will exert every effort and risk any ridicule to successfully accomplish my assigned duties. I will not look at a person and see any race, creed, color, religion, sex, age, or national origin, for I will only see the person; nor will I ever show prejudice or bias. I will lead by example and will resort to disciplinary action only when necessary. I will carry out the orders of my superiors to the best of ability and will always obey the decisions of my superiors. I will give all officers my maximum support to ensure mission accomplishments. I will earn their respect, obey their orders, and establish a high degree of integrity with them. I will exercise initiative in the absence of orders and will make decisive and accurate decisions. I will never compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage. I will not forget that I am a Professional, a Leader, but above all a Noncommissioned Officer.

Do you mind posting your tactics in there too? And thank you.

That link does not work.

Congrats my friend from one NCO to another. If you think you might be by Ohio let me know. I will buy you a beer or 2 or 3......

How about the F-29A Hubertus?

Go for it dude......

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=189 Have you looked in here?

As much as I like the F-15C the Su-30 MKI is in a class by itself. It would come down to the pilot in that battle. But then we got the F-22 just for that purpose. Uncalled for.....quit looking for a fight.

Switchblade was also the unofficial nick name of the FB-111A (not to be confused with the F-111A). Warhawk II is very fitting and keep the old P-40 linage alive.

No that is Bounders email.

Tomorrow is my last 12 hour shift in the Tinker AFB Command Post. It has been an interesting 2 years that’s for sure. When I got here in Feb of 2006 I had just retrained into this career field. My tech school was short and Tinker was a culture shock compare to what I learned at Keesler AFB just a few weeks earlier. My training took until May of 2006 and I became a certified junior controller. As a junior controller basically my job was to do what the senior controller told me too. Having said that, all the senior controllers, I out ranked, but that didn't bother me one bit taking orders from an E-4 or E-5. They had the knowledge and I was a noob. In fact I was fortunate to have been paired with SSgt Joe Ramirez; he got me on the right path on how to do business in the Command Post world. You see in the CP world, most places you are paired with another person. SSgt Ramirez and I were paired up for almost a year. You want to talk about a controller team that clicked. He and I had several crisis situations and exercises we went through and were able to know what the other was doing without even saying a word. I will never forget 6 Jun 2006, him and I got on shift at about 0630, and if it could go wrong it did. We had 3 civilians assigned to Tinker who all passed away the night before, so that required 3 operational reports sent up to higher headquarters, all within a certain amount of time. Then we had some aircraft damage that was discovered so that was another report. Then they dropped an exercise on us and I had to run that while SSgt Ramirez was working on those reports. So while all this is going on I have an inspector standing over my shoulder watching me run the exercise. He commented that it was odd that we hardly spoke a word to each other yet everything flowed "flawlessly". I call that a damn good team. By the end of the day, we had done 6 operational reports and ran the exercise without a hitch. Aug 2006 we did a deployment exercise to our field location. Full chem gear, the works and it was over 100 each day. We had no proper equipment, as the CP never did this kind of exercise before. It was a first and we were making it up as we went along. We were out there for 3 days and I lost 10lbs. But it was fun being aggressed, activating the warning sirens for incoming gas attacks, directing and coordinating all the battle staff actions. Afterwards the vice wing king gave SSgt Ramirez and I high praise for how well we did out there for lack of equipment. It was a long 3 days but it was a great learning experience. What else......in Sept of 2006 there was a Marine in Kansas who had threatened some people down by Tinker, for which I have no idea why to this day, and he said he was coming to Tinker to take out any military people. I was on my first shift as a senior controller. I get a call from the command post at McConnell AFB, saying they are looking for this guy but to be on the look out for him. Well I start calling the leadership and letting them know. We put the Security Forces on alert at the gates and call the local authorities to try and snag this guy. By about the mid afternoon they found him 5 miles away from Tinker. He was arrested and taken away. The funny part of the story was that the command post had knowledge of all this and by regulations they should of sent an operational report to HQ USAF. Well they pawned it off on my command post as some Colonel there at Mc Connell refused to let his command post do it. He said it wasn't their problem. So I called my leadership, explained that the report was going to be muy late and what that Colonel had said. My wing leadership said go ahead and do the report but make sure I sent a copy of it to that Colonel's leadership explaining what he said. So I did as I was told and got a call the next day from HQ AMC asking about what has transpired. I explained it to them and that was that. Later I find out from my vice wing commander that the Colonel at McConnell got his ass chewed big time for pawning the report off on us and not getting it to HQ USAF as soon as they knew. I got kudos from the leadership for that. Over the spring of 2007 we had a SSgt get into some trouble for slashing tires while he was drunk. Well not a big deal really on the command post side, but we got all this information while we were in the middle of a Major Accident Response Exercise for the upcoming air show. So we got full battle staff assembled, we are simulating an AWAC's crashing into a crowd during a fly by. Phones ringing off the hook......then we get the call about that SSgt slashing tires. So that required a report to HQ USAF. So here I got another exercise and a real world situation at the same time. Normally we could have gotten the CP out of it but the wing king didn’t want to hear it, he said handle them both. Long story short, we got it done but it was chaos. I had the weekend duty the next day though, got a call about 1600, that SSgt, who had been slashing tired, drove out to a lake, sat next to a tree and shot himself. It was a bad weekend duty. See in the CP world we have to do all the reports, notifications ect to everyone and anyone with all the gory details. Never ever a fun time. That fall of 2007 I got a call from a counselor from FT Sill stating that one of her former patients with severe PTSD who lives in Oklahoma City called the VA suicide hotline and stated that she was going to kill herself. The counselor called the Oklahoma PD and Sherriff Dept and they were busy with a kidnapping and couldn’t assist. So they gave the counselor the phone number to my Command Post. She told me the story and asked what I could do. I told her to be honest I am not sure what I could do but I got all the info and started making phone calls. Seeing how this was a fellow military member I could not let this go. The counselor stated she did get into contact with her former patient and arranged a meeting place to try to get her to calm down. I called my base police (Security Forces) and asked for options. They didn’t have any they could think of due to the fact it was off base. However they did get me in contact with a person from investigations who like me didn’t want to this have a bad ending. (More on that in a second) So I called a friend of mine and ask her to go to the meeting place. She went without hesitation and waited for almost 2 hours. The person we were looking for never showed. The investigations person called and said that he was inbound to the location and would take her into custody and get local authorities involved if she showed. Another 2 hours passed, still a no show. Nothing……this whole time I was on pin and needles hoping for the best but thinking the worst. Finally I got a call from the guy from investigations…they found her; she had slit her wrists, badly, but was alive. They got her to a VA hospital where she is being treated. That turned out well. Everything was pretty routine over the next few months, holidays went by without a hitch. AWAC's was getting it done as we always have.....then 25 Feb at 1413, everything turned to crap. As a lot of you know from the media we had a TSgt get into an dispute with his ex wife and he killed his two kids and himself. I was the Senior controller that day, I had a guy I was training, then my junior controller. I can give you a minute by minute play by play of that day. I remember when the SWAT hit the door and about 3 minutes later we got the word that there was 3 dead. I threw my clipboard across the room I was so mad. We were hoping for a better ending, but it didn't happen. That was one of the longest days in my life. All in all my time at Tinker has been good though. I mean I had to make the best of it not being with my family since December 2005. I will miss this place because the people here were great. However it is time to move on. So I draw a close to 16 1/2 years of active duty and move on to the USAF Reserve. I have a feeling that something good and big is going to happen in this next chapter of my life. I can't wait to start.

Wags as a favor could you post the your thoughts in this forum too so we always have them. Just amtter of making a new post and copying what you typed. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=155 Finally I will have one of the leads from the Mirage Factory get a hold of you. We need your expertise on some F-4's and could use your insight.

Warhawk II

Spec and I have known each other for a long long time. I asked him to review WOI for Combatace because I know he would tell you what you need to know and what you didn't. So check out his review by reading the link below. It is an excellent read. http://combatace.com/index.php?categoryid=...p2_articleid=70

Bunyap left along time ago and wpnssgt is lurking not modding. So do what I do, use the MF weps packs and add to them yourselves. It not hard and gives you a lot of freedom.

I do not think anyone is. The MF is making an updated one for WOI and a new one for WOE. New LGB's, JDAM's etc etc.

Who is making it?
