GO AIR FORCE!! SINK NAVY!!!

Thanks for sharing! I loved the Discovery Wings Channel, it's too bad none of these classic programs are on DVD. I'm a big fan of the Military Channel as well, but these Discovery Wings shows will always be my favorite.

Is this the terrain you're talking about? WW2 Europe by FNG2K & Edward

I've also always thought a Normandy campaign would also be interesting.

Definitely in WWII, I think accuracy is always the best. Very Cool!

I was just thinking today that it would be really cool to have a campaign in either SF1 or SF2 that is based on "Defense of the Reich" in WWII. Flying for both the Luftwaffe and RAF/USAAF. I know that there are already all the aircraft, and terrains needed for this and I just thought I'd see what others think about it. I am definitely not a modder or campaign creator, so I will not be the one making something like this, but maybe one of the great modders on on this website will like this idea. Thanks Everyone!

1. I believe it had to be sometime in the 1960's when concerning just the USAF and not the USAAF. There were at least ten types of fighters and interceptors in service during this decade, as well as four types of bombers, at least five types of transports, I believe at least three types of helicopters, three FAC aircraft, four trainer aircraft types, four reconnaissance types, and numerous other types as well. As far as which exact year of the 60's Im not yet sure. 2. I've seen photos of the F-105 carrying a twin rail AIM-9 adapter, here is a link to a website that has proof of the F-105's ability to carry two AIM-9s each on its outer pylons. http://www.burrusspt...05ordnance.html just click the external stores info link in the top left. 3. Wrench is exactly right, the AIM-4 was carried by all these types. The USAF used the AIM-4 on its F-4's from 1967 to 1972 because the AIM-4 was the USAF equivalent of the AIM-9 and was used on all other types of USAF fighters and therefore it made since to arm the F-4 with them due to familiarity USAF pilots and groundcrew already had with the AIM-4, and it was in greater supply. The AIM-9 was developed by the USN to equip the F-4B and in USAF service the AIM-9's used by the F-4C in 1965-67 over Vietnam, were just USN designed AIM-9B's delivered with the USAF's F-4C's which were basically F-4B's with limited modifications. Once the F-4D entered service, as this type was the first USAF designed variant it was intended to carry the existing USAF infra-red missile the AIM-4. The AIM-4 was not intended to be carried externally, and therefore it did not perform well on the F-4D/E, due to it's sensitive guidance systems, and its complicated firing process made it hard to use in a dogfight. Add this to the AIM-4's hit-to-kill only capability, and you have the missile who's performance in Vietnam was in legenadary Brig. Gen. Robin Olds' words, "As Useless as Tits on a Boar Hog".

These look Great! I can't wait!

I got this message today and yesterday as well

I have always wanted to see a show specifically focusing on the P-47 groups of the 9th AF in WWII. There have been many shows about the 8th AF and mostly just about P-51s, and I've always wanted to see more about the other groups, and pilots that flew the P-47 and as a Fighter Bomber in the 9th AF. A show about F-80s and F-84s in Korea would be interesting too!

Wow! Looks Great, Thanks!

Amen ; )

Yeah I sure hope that one day we get humans to Mars. Werner Von Braun certainly made it seem possible, and I bet if he were still alive getting to Mars would come sooner than later.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing the link

The USSR (as it was then), used their Buran shuttle to make only one unmanned test flight back in 1988. The program was cancelled soon after. Here's a good link about it if you're interested. http://www.russiansp....com/buran.html

I have no idea, but I know it's at least 3-6 years away. I believe Lockheed is still working on a modified version of the Orion Spacecraft for possible use by 2016, but I'm not sure of the whole story. Stupid things like POLITICS! will probably make it another 10 years before the U.S. has any manned space vehicle of its own. One thing I hope though is that it is a winged vehicle. The Orion spacecraft in terms of capabilities seemed incredible 6 years ago when I first heard about it, but the conventional design of it (capsule, parachutes, etc.) was not appealing to many astronauts. Anyway I can't wait to find out!

Nice! Sounds like you have a future Aviator there

Hmmm I had no idea about any of this. I guess it makes sense though if someone was stealing someone else's work

Thanks Guys for the info. Anyone know when this issue will be resolved?

I just reinstalled SF2E and updated it with the June 2011 Patch, and also downloaded the new .cat extractor. However I can't seem to get the new extractor to extract anything from objectdata2.cat I've also tried older extractors but I get an error message saying that objectdata2.cat is not a proper file. I assume all the .lod files are in objectdata2 as I can't seem to find them in any other files. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks alot
