  1. I must admit that in staging the above screenshots the approach to the tanker is very absorbing and requires a delicate on the throttle by matching speeds with a very low overtake speed of 2-3 kph - it's exciting but very difficult! It would be nice to see this in SF2 or SF3.
  2. Yes, if the third-party aircraft uses the same folder name as a Third Wire release. Look in the A-7H folder and see if it looks merged.
  3. From an idea by MAKO69... If you've got any USCG 'what if' ideas post them here! From my archive;
  4. A sim without an F-4 is like a bird without a wing.
  5. RAAF A-6 Intruder Pack

    One from the top drawer!
  6. Ski Sunday... Starring exchange pilot Franz Klammer and BN Alberto Tomba
  7. Guys, perhaps the DCS development stuff could be done in the DCS forum?
  8. Can't download until after work tonight but this looks brilliant!!
  9. Martin B-57A Canberra - US Coast Guard, 1973 I've been a bit short of time tonight to finish this one properly but I hope you like it. I still think the 'starbars' look better on the fuselage though!
  10. I like the look of your Mirage 4000 - good luck with all your projects!
  11. What do you think is wrong with the nose? In model kits the Phantom does seems hard to capture correctly and some examples were horrendous.
  12. Really enjoying the UK 'photoreal' terrain uploaded by sundowner recently
  13. English Electric Canberra S.5 - No.617 'Dambusters' Squadron, RAF Bomber Command, 1960 Thanks to Ludo for uploading his spiffing Canberra templates.
  14. Grumman F-14S Tomcat - F21, Swedish Flygvapnet, 1979 Whilst delighted with the newly introduced AJ37 attack version of the Saab Viggen, Flygvapnet officials soon expressed concerns over the range and capability of the forthcoming JA37 interceptor version and made tentative enquiries to Grumman, McDonnell Douglas and Panavia for an interceptor tailored to their rather unique requirements. Grumman (who desperately needed more orders for their F-14 to help offset the burden of the onerous fixed-price deal with the DoD) quickly proposed an export version of the Tomcat by dusting off their earlier Spey-engined F-14S previously offered to the UK. The new F-14S ('S' now standing for Sweden) was ordered in 1975 and whilst Swedish content in the airframe and avionics was very low the Swedish government had secured offset deals with Rolls-Royce to licence produce the Spey turbofan engine by Volvo Flygmotor and the F-14S was designed to use the 'Swedish' RB-71 (Skyflash) and RB-74 (Sidewinder) missiles as it's primary armament. The F-14S entered service with F21 in 1979 with initial deliveries being made in the 'splinter' scheme but this was soon replaced by the two-tone grey scheme still seen today.
