As an American who is descended from Ireland, Ireland as a whole is my country. But I am very interested in the N. Ireland history in itself. I read everything about it but a personal view is more what I am looking for.

Updated A-6E Tram Intruder Released
Dave replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
You can overwrite if you want, not sure what that would do though. -
Original Credits 3D Model: Monty_CZ, wpnssgt Skins: JSF_Aggie, Paul Nortness, Sundowner, USAFMTL Flight Model: column5 Drop tanks edits by Fubar512 Version 1.1 Credits A-6E TRAM Intruder CREDITS 3D Model: Monty_CZ, wpnssgt Skins: Sundowner Flight Model: column5 Drop tanks edits by Fubar512 Ini Work by JSF Aggie: - added the RWR - added a laser designator for the TRAM - tweaked the loadout file - Removed all the existing skins, and replaced with Sundowners two 2048x2048 skins - Made new fuel tank .bmp's to match Sundowners's skins INSTALLATION Copy the A-6E_TRAM folder to your Strike Fighters AIRCRAFT folder. Copy the two fueltank .bmp's to your weapons folder. This assumes you have the weapons pack installed. HISTORY (From wikipedia.org) Development The Intruder was developed in response to a U.S. Navy specification for an all-weather carrier-based attack aircraft to serve as a replacement for the piston-powered, WWII-era A-1 Skyraider. Grumman was awarded the contract in 1957, and the resulting A2F-1 made its first flight on 19 April 1960. It was redesignated A-6A in the fall of 1962, and entered squadron service in February 1963. The A-6 became the USN and USMC's principal medium attack aircraft from the mid-1960s through the 1990s. It served in combat in Vietnam and in later engagements in Lebanon and Libya. The Intruder saw further duty in the 1991 Gulf War, but it was phased out of service quickly in the mid-1990s. It was intended for replacement by the A-12 Avenger II, but following that troubled stealth aircraft's cancellation, the Intruder was left to soldier on for a few more years before retiring in favor of the F/A-18 Hornet. The last Intruders were retired 19 December 1996. Some aircraft were used to form artificial reefs, but the majority are stored at AMARC against possible future need. Although the Intruder could not match the F/A-18's speed or air-combat capability, the A-6's range and load-carrying ability are sorely missed. A-6E models totaled 445 aircraft, about 240 of which were converted from earlier A-6A/B/C models. You can get it by clicking this link here! Thank you JSF Aggie!

Yes I do and I have a good understanding of it but I want to talk to people who were there. I want personal perspectives. I am Irish American and I would like to know about the history of my home country.

Best Review of the 300: 300 - Reviewed by Neil Cumpston: I just saw a movie that'll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It's called 300. I don't know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could've called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it'd still rule. It's about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated **** out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper. The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it's sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, "I need some extra sauce packets" guess what? You're getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain. I can't spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN'T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that's hitting someone's balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey. TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN'T LIKE: COOL THING ONE: HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES Who gives a I'm_an_idiot! if the music isn't historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could've used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel's Pretzel is telling you that you'll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand. COOL THING TWO: FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There's wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he's got Rosie O'Donnell on his back. Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight. NOT SO GOOD THING: DUDE NUDITY ("DUDE-ITY") These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they're serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties. Any directors reading this - IT'S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES. Can't someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON? My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I've seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.

Thanks Fates, on my way.

I am doing some research about "The Troubles" and wanted to know some insight from people who have been there during that time.

A sad thing indeed, I still crank up Boston.

To have to name the main ini exactly like the title of the folder for example. You named the plane F-15C_Soviet. The main ini, F-15C_Soviet.ini has to look just like that or it will not show up. -

I thought it was great! Upload it for download. Anyone who has an issue with you "filming" 3rd party aircraft needs to shove off. Great job! -
