  6. View File [Fictional] de Havilland Vampire FB.7 for SF2 de Havilland Vampire FB.7 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Pasko's Vampire FB.5 to create a fictional Vampire FB.7 in service with the Royal Dhimari Air Force in the 1950 to 1962 timeline with markings for the following three squadrons; No.6 Squadron - 'The Eagles' No.11 Squadron - 'The Rams' No.13 Squadron - 'The Antelopes' Whilst we now have Third Wire Vampires I hope this version is of interest to those who don't have that particular expansion pack and it also allows me to use Stary's lovely Vampire cockpit. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the VampireFB7 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the VampireFB7 folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop both folders into your Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS Thanks to TK for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Pasko for this superb add-on aircraft (one of his many). Thanks also to Gramps for the desert camo skin and also to Don (C5) for the FM which works just fine in SF2. Thanks to Stary for the Vampire cockpit. And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

  10. Suddenly, I was made to feel decidely unwelcome...
  11. I loved my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and it lasted about 12 years before a couple of sticky buttons made me retire it last month. I can't comment on the Hotas 4 but I bought a Hotas 1 and I'm delighted with it.
  12. A revised version is in the What If hangar.

  15. I'm not expecting any thing other than a mild improvement in graphics.
  16. Gloster Javelin Mk.56 'Dhanush' - No.36 Squadron, Indian Air Force, 1965 The expansion of the Indian Air Force during the mid-1950's saw the planned procurement of the Hawker Hunter fighter-bomber and the English Electric Canberra bomber in substantial quantities but Indian Air Force planners saw the lack of an all-weather interceptor as a problem and urged the Indian Government for increased funds for a suitable aircraft. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru initially blocked the idea but soon agreed to allow a delegation from the Gloster Aviation Company to make a presentation to the Indian Government and the Chiefs of the Indian Air Force. With the end of the Javelin production line looming Gloster were proposing two new export version of the Javelin Mk8 to India - the F.Mk55 (Sapphire-enginned) and F.Mk56 (Avon-enginned) versions. Indian Air Force chiefs were very enthusiastic about the possibility of having its three main combat aircraft use the same jet engine (albeit the Javelin's Mk.205 Avon engines had a simple afterburner fitted) and urged Nehru to proceed with the purchase of 80 aircaft but Nehru demanded to meet the Gloster delegation himself to thrash out terms. Gloster cannily sent Graeme Kimmage, who had attended Cambridge University with Nehru, to conduct the negotiations and eventually secure a deal for 80 Javelin F.Mk56's. Entering service with No.36 'Trishula' squadron based at Pathankot in 1958 the Javelins only really became a complete weapon system when mated with the indigenous 'Baan' (Arrow) air-to-air missile which entered service in 1960. From this time the Javelins quickly earned the most appropriate nickname of 'Dhanush' (bow) and saw limited service over Goa (in the recconnaisance role) but played a major role in the 1965 war with Pakistan claiming several kills including three F-86's, one F-104 and six B-57's. However, with the MiG-21 entering service the Javelin's days were numbered and the Javelin force slowly faded away and by 1975 the popular and legendary 'Dhanush' had gone for good.
