    This looks like a cool collection.

     

    Ever thought about some "retro" stuff?

     

    I realize that the 81st TFW did not fly the Charlie model, we were the biggest wing in the USAF back in the day.

     

    Any hope of adding the 78th, 91st, 92nd, 509, 510th, or the 511th TFS?

     

    They have a whole slew of variants here -> http://www.usafepatches.com/site3/81tfw.htm

     

    Shoot, if I have the time, I may just do so myself, with your fine addition as a guide...

    Can't test this rascal out for another 10 hours, but I shipped it home for after work, and can't wait!

     

    I'll have to get some screenies and post some gloat shots for a Canuckistanian friend of mine.

     

    I'd anticipate him being in the 3rd wire fols by the weekend!

     

    From what I can see in the ZIP, it looks to be another high quality job by a dedicated individual.

     

    Many thanks for the long hours spent on a highly anticipated project, FastCargo...

    That debate may go on forever, but from a pure numbers perspective, the Aardvark may have had a slight edge;

     

    The F-111B versus the F-14A, One More Time.

     

    The one big advantage I can see is the mud-moving capability from the get-go.

     

    The "Bombcat" was not realized until Operation Desert Storm, as the poor little kitty drivers felt left out, and the 111's were racking up armor

    via their patented "tank plinking" methods...

     

    :D

    I mentioned it in another thread a bit ago, and was able to actually see it transpire with the F6 view.

     

    I noticed the debriefs would just say "crashed" and the one time we were egressing the target area, out of harm's way, and I

    just focused on my wingie, I never take more than one, as it risks too many otherwise, and he just detonated.

     

    No other jets, no SAM reached out, just >boom< and he flamed all the way to auger point...

     

    :dntknw:

    So, as previously mentioned, I am just getting back into the world of SF2 after a few months off.

     

    I have recently installed a merged copy with all the bells and whistles to allow a fresh start.

     

    I only installed one after-market aircraft, the excellent A-16, so I could test out this new-

    fangled add a jet to any campaign DLC dealio.

     

    During the years since I originally acquainted myself with this title, I was only the beta test

    team for SF:P1, I never fired up a mercenary flight for campaign duties.

     

    This also changed, as I always dreamed of a mixed flight of jets in campaign, and this now

    seemed the way to get it done.

     

    I actually added a 2nd jet this afternoon, was allowed to buy the F-20 TigerShark, and flew

    a mixed flight strike 2-shipper.

     

    So satisfying.

     

    But, after hitting the target, and letting the emergency defenders whittle down the defenders,

    I took a look around externally. I hit F6 a second time to see my wingman, in the different

    airframe, and grinned at the coolness factor.

     

    The grin was short-lived, as was my wingman, as out of the blue, at about 2500 feet, he just

    detonated in mid-air! :yikes:

     

    I had taken to running solos on the last half-dozen missions, as I was losing too many wingies

    to "crashes," and sure enough, that is what the debrief said about this guy.

     

    No SAM, no MiG, just >POP!<

     

    Is this a usual event for Mercenary squadrons? We have to inspect jets for IED's before we

    hit the sky?

     

    Fluke?

     

    Has anyone else ever seen the like?

    J-yes, that looks mucho betterio. :grin:

     

    As to the year tag, I would NEVER change years of an aircraft, no sir!

     

    Not even to fly it in, say, 1979 over Europe or summat.

     

    I have been STRONGLY counseled on many occasions not to do this! :spiteful:

     

    I was going to try an F-5B, but it only has 4 entries in the DECALS.INI.

     

    There are a few other fix-ups needing doing, `specially in the cockpit, I have just forgotten

    a lot during my Summer hiatus.

     

    It might be a bit before I am back up to speed...
