The gallery takes photo's straight from your hard drive but, for me at any rate, photobucket or similar works best for the forum. -

Noooooooooooooooooooo! This aeroplane deserves better! -

Actually, the Phantom purchase was sorted well before the F-111 on/off debacle. The UK were looking for a Hunter replacement for the RAF and a Sea Vixen & Scimitar replacement for the Royal Navy and it has a happy consequence that some Canberra units earmarked for TSR.2/F-111K converted to Phantoms before Jaguars released the Phantoms for UK Air Defense (replacing Lightnings). Those skins are the dog's dangly bits aren't they? -
Anyone have the Scimitar
Spinners replied to subferro's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I dropped Capun an e-mail and was granted access so I'd encourage you to do the same. It's great to see some of these more obscure post-war British jets covered and in the game/sim it's quite a sprightly performer! -

Ouch! (Jaw hits keyboard) (My jaw is one hell of a shape to press o,u,c,h and shift1). -
TBH I don't know. It just worked. I then made a copy and 'North Vietnamesed' it. Thanks again to everyone who helped with this aircraft. It really does fly well and looks good too.

I mentioned the success of the 1/72 scale TSR.2 model kit by Airfix and how it created an explosion of interest in the aircraft. These decal sheets might whet the appetite... http://www.ipmsusa2.org/Reviews/Kits/First...cal_72_TSR2.htm BTW in the UK they sold out very quickly and go for silly money on ebay. -

Not at all. My query had nothing to do names and numbers. My query was against your deliciously colourful origin of the unofficial name 'Bone' applied to the B-1B. I'm 100% sure it simply comes from B-one! Or is that too obvious?! -

I thought the B-1 was called 'Bone' simply because of the B-one designation. -
Chapeau! Brilliant work! I've converted mine to a North Vietnamese aircraft for use in my extended WOV install. It handles really well and is also a useful fighter... well against F-4's anyway!

Sending myself back to mid-60's Britain (It's Been A Hard Day's Night - yeah) then with the original Tempest being a Hawker product then I can't see BAC using that particular name! -

I've heard that mentioned several times but I don't think there's any positive confirmation. My dedicated anti-shipping version based at RAF Lossiemouth would be designated Barracuda S.1. -

We're being spoilt. Well done and thanks for bringing this to the game/sim. -

I was too young to remember the political shenanigans but this contemporary cartoon sums things up. There's been many books written about this fantastic strike aircraft but I can thoroughly recommend the TSR.2 chapter in Bill Gunstons "Attack Aircraft Of The West" and, indeed, that entire book. I read that book as an aviation mad teenager in the mid-70's and became a life-long TSR.2 fan. The TSR.2 wasn't perfect, and there was probably lots of heartache to come in the development programme, but it was a damn sight better than it's contemporaries and 'on paper' successors. The aircraft modelling community went wild when Airfix released a model kit of it a few years ago and the £18 kits regularly sell for well over £60 on ebay and there is also a massive 'what-if' modelling and GCI scene associated with this superb aircraft. I'm getting moist in anticipation... -

http://www.column5.us/forum/index.php?showtopic=7229 Ruddy Nora Craig. I was only joking! Just like lazboy I'm having to pinch myself in case I'm dreaming! Anyway, take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself. If it's half as good as your Typhoon then it'll be a winner. -

Hello need some HELP

Off the top of my swede, that download was meant for SFG/WOV/WOE so the LOD's are missing and need to be extracted. -
The history channel
Spinners replied to Viper6's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
I really do love this show but I just wish they paid a bit more attention to detail such as showing US 'star and bar' insignia on both upper wings of an USAF F-4 (and not angled) and a USN F-4 jock explains that he's fired his last missile and then they show a fully armed bird. Oh, and did F-4D's really carry a centreline tank with one 370-gal wing tank and an ECM pod where the other 370-gal should be? The graphics are a bit good though aren't they! -
How to make the game better
Spinners replied to markkyle66's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Q. What do you think the series lacks? A. The Blackburn Buccaneer. Not much else, I'm loving the core games and the brilliant add-on stuff done by the community.
