    Damn its Cold!

    Viggen replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    It's been hovering at or below freezing here in Afghanistan too. At least on nights, which is when I work. Sucks when the Chinook's heater doesn't want to work!

    I've been a fan of the Third Wire series for a while now, and First Eagles is the only one I've never played, because I was never too interested in World War I. But, as it is the hundredth anniversary of the start of the Great War, I figure I should start to take an interest and think First Eagles would be a good starting point. I've looked around at the mods and they've got my interest. Do First Eagles/First Eagles Gold mods have any conflicting issues working in FE2? Now as I understand it, FE2 is no longer supported by TK. Is that true?

      It was the first I read. And I've read it four or five times now. Every time I read it it gets better because I've learned more since the previous read and I pick up on things I didn't before.

    Think the map has a year limit of 1982 and 1983 as well.

    Hey all, does anyone know of any websites that provide order of battles for USN carrier battle groups? CVWs I can find easily, but escort ships are more difficult to find lists for.

    I know who Reuben James is. It was a line in the book, is all.
  12. Viggen

    Yes. I am a Brony. Is that a problem?

    SINK NAVY! Ah what difference does it make, they'll lose again...as usual

    Like the bit in Red Storm Rising. "What the devil is a Reuben James?" "At least we don't name ships after our mother in law!" The majority of warships that have served in the US Navy have names with meaning. Whether it's after a location, battle, or naval hero. Some, I do agree are questionable, but I'm a Soldier so what do I know?
  15. Viggen
    Noticed ejecting pilots in SF2NA after I installed eburger's expansion for it. Works for me!
  16. Viggen
    Nah, that's not sinning. Now a Polish Thunderbolt? Yeah, ask Dave or Spinners about that.
  17. Viggen
    While on the subject of day-glow panels, why do the Egyptians use them on their fighters? To identify them from Israeli aircraft?
  18. Viggen
    So are the Egyptian Mirages that flew for Iraq for six weeks in 1986 going to be featured? Or the MiGs the Russians tested in combat during the war?
  19. Viggen
    The beaver tail was what I was looking for too, and I didn't think to look for the other exterior differences in the blocks. RSR never mentions the F-14's engines. I think they were specified as F-14As at one point in the book anyway.
  20. Viggen
    Ok, in my never ending series of questions about Naval Aviation, I've got two more today (tonight in 'Merica). What block of F-14 is featured in SF2NA? The long range camera system used in Red Storm Rising to track the Backfires and tankers, was that the TCS or a work of fiction?

    On Afghanistan: I've never seen a place that's quite like this. Everything is turned around-this crazy world is upside down

      Even flying as a passenger. The aircraft's torque puts you to sleep

    4. RogerSmith

      RogerSmith

      Me: "what torque?"

      Me to myself: "exactly"

       

      *high-fives self*

    Alright, I'll test that tomorrow. Going to try it as it again first.

    They get their gear off the deck, pull up and then tail strike and stall into the water. AV-8A. Didn't check their nozzle position because I was under the impression the AI didn't use them. I've got the AI on normal and am trying a STOL due to my ordinance- which I didn't take into consideration. I may have had the aircraft too heavy?
  24. Viggen
    That's already a part of the expansion.
  25. Viggen
    Great series. Found it awesome that it covers a whole cruise and from multiple perspectives. But my opinion of pitching deck remains the same: "NO! No. No. No. No. Fuck that. Thank god that isn't featured in SF2NA!" ...And yet I still find naval aviation so interesting.
