  1. Great action shots! Love the defocused background effect on the uppermost shot.
  2. McDonnell Douglas F-4M - JG74 Mölders, 1979
  3. It has the same RAF camo skins of the F-4M and it includes markings for No.43 Sqd and No.111 Sqd who did use the FG.1 in real life. Perhaps we'll get the grey schemes in an F-4M_80 DLC...
  4. Amen to that bro'. The Sixties Superfighter always hits the spot.
  5. Has the Third Wire 3D model been modified to have built-in tanks? (Hopefully, prior to being re-introduced into SF2:North Atlantic).
  6. There's been a lot of Spitfire related activity here recently and why not? But I was wondering what is your favourite Spitfire version or mark number? Is it the iconic Spitfire Mk.1 of 'Battle of Britain' fame, the Mk.5 that the RAF used to go on the offensive over France and the Low Countries of Europe in 1941, the lashed-up Mk.9 that enabled the RAF to compete on equal terms with the Fw190A, the powerful Griffon-engined Mk.14 or the beautiful and graceful Mk.19? Or is it something else? You can choose your favourite by historical importance or by looks and as a single version or as a 1,2,3. And please feel free to include the Seafire as well (but not the Seafang and Spiteful developments). OK? Right, I'll kick off; 1. Spitfire Mk.21 - best-looking of the breed for me. Purists may not like the wing-planform but I love it and it has the classic rear fuselage (non-bubble canopy). 2. Spitfire Mk.14 - First main production version with the Griffon (I'm not forgetting the Mk.12). Great looks and FROG made it complete with a V1! How cool is that? 3. Spitfire Mk.8 - For me, the ultimate Merlin-engined Spitfire. Love the pointed fin and rudder!
  7. Surely, the beauty of DLC is that you buy what you want. If some folk like to collect them, fair enough. Similarly, if some folk like to get the latest (for the princely sum of £1.92) to chip into the pot to help the continuation of this fine series, again, fair enough.
  8. Short B-22C Stirling - 350th BS, 100th BG, USAAF 1943
  9. @ SUNDOWNER - Beauty! Pirates of the Caribean
  10. Popular AVIATION movies you've watched and liked!

    My favourites are Dambusters, Battle of Britain, Top Gun, 633 Squadron, Flight of the Intruder. Is it OK to admit to enjoying Firefox as well? BTW 'Foxbat' by Peter Cabe was a far better book and would have made a better film.
  11. SF2 isn't just made for 64 bit systems.
  12. Not quite the end but I know what you mean.
  13. Who fired the Python 3? Yes, dead on arrival does happen but very rarely in my experience.
  14. McDonnell F4H-1 Phantom - VF-84, July 1943
  15. A new patch (sorry TK - lol) has caused your fully merged install and favourite add-ons to become stuck on one year. Doh! But if you had a choice, which year would you choose? For me it would have to be 1967. SF2I covers the Six-Day War brilliantly whilst over in SF2V the Vietnam War is reaching boiling point. Closer to home, in SF2E the RAF's V-Force is at it's peak, the Lightning, Canberra and Hunter are all in service whilst across la manche a sexy little delta is making Marcel Dassault the legend he rightly deserves to be. Finally. I can just about get an early F-4E into the Desert skies to help Dhimar in their eternal struggle against the evil Parani empire. That's my choice. But I'd like to know your choice and why!
