I see the headline on the BioHaz front page, but it just keeps looping me. The downloads area has the original, which seems a bit lacking. Was looking forward to flying the EAW Euro scenery I just downloaded with some cool new weapons. I just had my 1st strike single generated, and it starts me at my old base, RAF Bentwaters! With a divert base of Sembach, which was a real life WAFOL. How cool is that? :)

I kind of figured that, for some odd reason. ;) Danke Dave-man...

Well, I lied. I guess I also timed out for an edit so... When I choose to start as an A-7 driver, and switch jets on the load screen to any F-4, I cannot load Sparrows nor Fuel tanks. And if I start out with F-4's, I cannot change them to A-7's, hence my dilemna. When I get an 8 shipper in single missions, I like to have 2 different airframe type in the 2 flights of 4. Tell me I'm weird, I'll get over it. Any idea why this would happen, gentlemen?

Version 2 is a MUCH better set, I must say. Fuel tanks and Sparrows on the "escort" Phantoms is a good thing. :D Thanks ArmourDave. Lots of CBU's too. LOTS!

Excellent, thanks! Will take a peek tonight/tomorrow morning when I get off of work...

Am doing a re-discovery of Strike Fighters upon the release of Patch 2. Grabbed the Excellent add-on aircraft, the A-7 that MadJeff has kindly hosted. I have only one request, an non-Squid skin. :P Anyone seen a USAF skin kicking around anywhere, or shall I make a feeble attempt on my own? Naval Aviators are cool and all, just a personal preference after 14 years of doing the blue...

>Koff< :D

That would, indeed, bethe Spanish translation... ;)

Snake eyes and their newer BSU variants have been discussed in the beta forums. They probably won't be persued for the A-10, as retarded bombs are usually loaded on fast movers, as opposed to the loiter capable A-10. When I was loading weapons on USAF jets, I did plently of snakes and BSU-49's and 50's on the F-111, but never on the A-10. TER's with Mk. 82 slicks aplenty, but not ret's. If the hornet or similar fast mover is added, I would imagine this munition type will also be added to it's inventory...

The very 1st Thunderbird! How very cool is that? A little history grabbed from here; I'll have to wander outside the bar doors and see if MadJeff is about with the file. Great job!

Weasel's? Oh yeah. Nerves and other important portions of the anatomy... :D

Interesting side thread. Do carry on...

This effect, and the sound you SHOULD have heard were added with the 1.01 patch. It was awfully fun testing the patch beta to see if it worked! Going out of my way to strike power lines!

But where's that tug driver to back you out when you need him? :D I MAY try that in a tab-vee someday, if I can figure out how to get the guy to open the blast doors...

What a cool stickie! One stop shopping for those re-acquainting themselves with this fine simulation. Good man Skater. And keep us updated on the Tiger 2 and TigerShark Digital-Overload. I have always dug the hell out of the F-5/T-38. Like a sports car of the sky!

Love that AOL handle, Falcon 6-2 Thanks for the Corsair skin. Now I can bomb things while properly attired! :P

A reminder for the Falcon-man. I can get the USAF on the side, but it looks weird with the USS Midway on the tail...

I actually slapped the patch on what has been on my hard drive since January 2003. Weird things, CTD's, etc. were happening. Total un-install, then re-install has made a big difference. See if your yaw and other items are better after Red Bear...

Well gentlemen, thanks for the comedy relief! And for the Email addy, Spectre-at-CombatSim.com would be one for that fine USAF skin Falcon Six Two. Thank you very much, and Happy New Year...

Well, ya live and learn. I didn't know that the USAF never flew the "B" model, and look forward to the "D" model. This B is pretty sweet. Very well done. It would just look better wothout the big ol' NAVY thingmie on the side, IMHO... :D

Err, he knows. He saw the announcement it in the BlitzPig sty last night. But I'm sure there is a story behind this one... :D

IIRC, the BIG patch got the Wally World folks up to release standards. Just download Patch 1 & Patch 2 to give it a whirl. A trade on your old CD would still be a good idea, however...

I stand humbled. I was wrong. Congrats to the patch testers, TK & Co. It's been a long time since I fired this puppy up, but intend to do so tonight...

Excellent. You are right on top of things MadJeff. Now all I have to do is wait `til my job springs me in an hour to go check it out! Thanks!

That is one patch beta team I am VERY glad I wasn't chosen to stay on. I would place a sizable wager that Lock On's 1st path beats SF:P1's 2nd out the door. And patch #2 for LOMAC is done in 1/4 of the time...
