  1. The Corona Virus Thread

    Talk about a week. On Monday my grandfather went to the hospital because of his covid case. But that stubborn old man's condition has improved and he's being released.
  2. This might not be the place to say it, but I just want to thank the modders for all the things they still do for this game.
  3. The Corona Virus Thread

    My grandfather tested positive for it on Friday. He's been doing well, but I'm staying realistic here.
  4. Show of Hands! Who Would Fly/Ride This?

    After it's had a full track and balance, drain and flush, lube, and torque checks completed, sure.
  5. No More Shark Attacks In Army Basic Training

    Speaking as someone who went through basic in 2012, I didn't see any classic day one shark attacks, then again I was too busy getting the shit smoked out of me to notice if it happened to anyone! But, I will attest to the creativity of some NCOs for resolving fuck ups in a garrison or deployment environment, all of which are a better alternative to having it go on paper.
  6. Ah Mobius 1, a classic. Very interested in your F-22 projects.
  7. Every one of us here has a mod manager already: a brain and the read me!
  8. Two seater looks like a real gem. Looking forward to taking these for a spin.
  9. Good looking skins and I like the backstory for the Iraqi aircraft! I'm sure after they were withdrawn, Iraq held on to them as airfield decoys, and most were destroyed by allied bombing during the Persian Gulf War.
  10. Great! I've had ideas in mind for this terrain ever since you first posted screenshots of it.
  11. Thanks for the new skin. I actually just finished listening to Red Storm Rising as an audiobook last week. I've read the book a million times before. Frisbees of Dreamland is a great chapter.
  12. After something close to four years, I'm in a position to play SF2 again! Finally off of laptops and on to a desktop. Nothing fancy, but it plays the games I want it to, so no complaints there! Grabbed the SF2 Complete Edition and no issues running on W10 here. After a quick intercept mission in an F-4F, man, this series is like riding a bike, you never forget how. Looking forward to catching up on the many mods I've been missing out on flying or blowing up. Years of looking at everyone's screenshots telling myself, "One day you'll pick this up again." As always, thanks to the modders for their continued efforts and to the CombatAce staff.
  13. My current computer is on its last legs and I fully intend on playing SF2 on a new one. This is a very welcome addition, especially when I'm unsure of where all my installers are.
  14. Interview with an Su-15 pilot

    Great read, thanks!
  15. Well the majority of the Army's pilots are Warrant Officers, not Commissioned.
  16. I haven't flown in this game for a while now, for hardware reasons, but this is still a mod I've looked forward to seeing released. Congrats to the Mirage 4000 team! This certainly will be one of the first downloads when I'm back up.
  17. If only there was a way to bring Snoopy back. Yeah he never fired the smoke rockets and all too often was shot down, but I can't be the only one who missed seeing that little O-1 orbiting a tank battle.
  18. The nostalgic feels from a year ago are hitting me pretty hard right now. I miss deployment. So, I'm going to make a mission pack for the time when I was there, August 2013 to April 2014. No, I'm not making eight months worth of missions! Missions will be flown out of Kandahar Air Field for the most part, because that's where I was, and most missions will probably be flown in Regional Command South. One aircraft will be flown out of Bagram. I've already got an order of battle for the time frame. Of course I don't need one for Army Aviation's assets! Aircraft: F-16C Tornado GR4 A-10C AH-64D* *Do we have an AH-64D Apache? That's a D model without the Longbow radar. US Apaches operate in Afghanistan without Longbow. And of course there will be plenty of other AI aircraft. Those without access to the A-team website will miss out on AI helicopters and UAVs flying around though. If you don't like slow missions, CAS, or armed recon, these aren't the missions for you. Return to fighting MiGs over Hanoi. No screenshots yet because I haven't started anything. Still hunting down aircraft, textures, and ground objects. And this OOB is huge. Might be a couple days before any update.
  19. Oh man seeing those RLBs brings me back to Kandahar five years ago! If you're interested in making some different versions, I should still have a few pictures for reference.
  20. Great read. Ever since I read Red Eagles I've enjoyed reading pilot's perspectives of the Flogger family.
  21. Ok I can confirm I never turned a wrench on that particular tail number, so not my fault!
  22. Hey Slack Asses......

    Well, not contractor in that sense. Manufacturer is the word I should have used.
  23. Hey Slack Asses......

    @Dave Well since you're really asking. I'm out of the Army and now work for a major defense contractor.
