So, it would appear that a Western Digital is the way to go, right.

hehehe, yeah...about that. (I need a person who can do nodes...that's all I need) Anyway, took WOI for a spin, found out what that "sparkle" I mentioned before was. It's the whole thing in general, it's perfect!

Dammit, now I feel as aggrivated as the terrorist with the subtitles, lol. Should have known...

subarblue's story sounds like me earlier today...in a U-2. Head out for recon over Cuba, thinking "ok, simple, stay high." But, I get some SA-2s firing at me. Both miss. Now me, usually flying Thuds, Vipers, or Rhinos at low level, dives for the deck. Mind you, I've completely forgot I'm unarmed (not to mention I still hadn't eaten breakfast so I was getting impacient.) Zoom down to about 8,000 feet. Level out. Take some pretty pictures of the airbase/city I'm over. Then, I notice several silver flashes. After an F6 or two, I see that these are two rather pissed off MiG-21F-13s, already on full burner, most likely coming down to dive on me. Now, I decide it's time to run. So, I hit the throttle, and I try to zoom up, but then I remember "Oh right...SA-2s." So, I go back to 5-8 thousand feet. MiG no.0 reaches me, and fires his R-3s at me, both missing. He comes in for guns. I get frantic, and lightly tap the stick in hopes of confusing him: nope. I did however, lower his airspeed to the point where he's flying with a high AOA to not stall. He goes burner and flies up. I fly up, slower of course. I go to external view, and notice that Comrade Captain Dmitri is too close! But, it's too late, and he smashes into my tail, and goes down. I somehow am alright, and continue towards the Gulf. MiG no. 1 now reaches me, and fires of his R-3s, not as rapidly, with one nearly getting me. He goes for guns. I try to do the same thing, but this guy is smarter than his commander. He goes left, and leaves me thinking I'm safe. So, I get over the water. And go external. I F6. See MiG no.1 in burner. I figure he's flying home. Well, he levels out. I start panning around, see a shiny object infront of him. A wingie? No. Me. By that point, it's to late. I recall saying, "Hey that's me! Come on, escor.....oh sh**...". The latter as he fired his gun. I became a POW. I heard that Junior Lieutenant Nikolai became a Hero of the Soviet Union after that encounter. Moral of the story: If your in a U-2, and the map has SA-2s or MiG-21F-13s, stay at 50,000ft+ and take the SA-2s. He's the photo that made into Krasnaya Zvezda two days later.

That looks awesome!

Well, has it been soon enough yet Mr. Adjuntant man?

F/A-18E + X-29 + Su-47 + X-31 = Mega Hornet

It could be anything Mirage Factory since he's their CombatACE adjuntant or whatever he once said. B-1 we know he's had. F-107 we all have now (err...not me, I need to get it) Maybe another Voodoo? The new F-100s? In my highschool, it isn't hellagay it's veryf***inggay, in either case...I really hate when fubar does this...WHY??????!!!!!!!!! EDIT: hm...Fubar, FC, C5, Dave... all posting semi sarcastically...something is very suspicious....

Mannie, are you flying that F/A-18I though the carrier's hanger?

It has to be WOI. Just has some sort of sparkle in it the others don't. If I wasn't addicted to adding downloads, I'd leave it the way it came.

I decided to add the U-2 to OTC. However, the aircraft isn't showing up. I'm sure I made the proper edits to the INI files (even changed the U-2's service dates). Each time I start the new campaign, I end up with an F-100D and a strike mission. I'll include segments of my INI's below, perhaps it is in there.

Ah, yeah, that does. Thanks. I'll just switch out a Navy unit.

Oooo shiny!

So, we're going to see a 4.0 awesome! Nah, just kidding, nice work reworking your rework!

I'd think the LERXs may pose a problem, as will the canard's height. Personally, I'd move the wing/LERX forward about 6 inches and give it a B-1 like canard whisker under the canopy wind screen. That's just me though. Probably make it less stable however... Just my own personal opinion, not ment to harm anythong or anyone.

That's a stong rocket shooting you out of that then! Passing out wouldn't be surprising upon ignition.

We'll have to be sure not to look down then

The more trainers (and combat capable two seaters) the better. I like it!

This aircraft looks so cool! But at the same time so ugly. Nice work!

Very imposing sho't there Silverbolt (pun intended)

THAT COMMBUILDING'S GONNA DIE!!!!!!

Nah, the Defiant's naval counterpart is definatly more useless, but I agree in wanting one, and it should be interesting flying one in the BOB campaign. And Velto is a modding god now.

happy birthday!

VF-111 serves as an F-5 aggressor squadron out of NAS Key West, as VFC-111 now adays. But in the 1980s they were still an active USN F-14 squadron.

Cool ideas for campaigns pfunk. I've have been working on a campaign in the Black Sea terrain, but Strategic Nodes are a PITA. I wish I knew how to skin with these templates. I want to make one of the Su-30s that's only got the yellow primer on.
