  1. Except that it never flew.
  2. Looking good!
  3. Interesting stuff which prompts to ask have you simply tried altering the Roll Damper line in the Flight Control section of the data.ini?
  4. Fast and low in the Fantan!
  5. http://combatace.com/topic/68224-adjusting-beginning-end-year-spread/
  6. Junkers EF145 'Super Gans' - KG76, Luftwaffe, 1948
  7. Did Razbam ever release a 'Six'?
  8. DA when you check into this thread just park your brain up, suspend your disbelief and you'll be fine....
  9. Messerschmitt Me-277 (P.1125) Nachtjager - Luftwaffe '48 Towards the end of his four-year collaboration with the Messerschmitt company at Augsburg, Dr. Alexander Lippisch had sketched out a formidably large delta-winged all-weather interceptor but his transfer to the Luftahrtforschungsanstalt (Aviation Research Institute) in Munich led to the project being shelved due to the lack of a suitably large powerplant. The desperate but eventually successful 'reversal campaigns' of late 1944 and early 1945 had led to stalemate on both fronts and allowed Germany time to develop and field their first-generation jet and rocket fighters to great success. In late 1946 Dipl-Ing Hans Hornung, head of preliminary studies at Messerschmitt, dusted down the original Lippisch delta design and scaled it down slightly to suit the Junkers Jumo 'Titan' axial flow turbojet which had successfully been test flown on the port wing of a specially modified Me-323 Gigant in September 1946 and was promising sufficient thrust for the large delta-winged fighter now renamed 'Projekt Nachtjager' and given the design number of P.1125. The project moved smoothly and the first P.1125 entered service as the Messerschmitt Me-277 in July 1948 but production was severely hampered when the factory was hit by USAAF B-50's in September 1948 leading to only a handful of Me-277's seeing service.

  11. The Republic F-105D Thunderchief masquerading as the Heinkel P.105 Zerstörer
  12. No problem. Hope it works out.
  13. Heinkel P.105 - JG6, Luftwaffe, 1949
  14. I'm away from my 'play' PC but wasn't it something to do with the 3D model being updated with built-in drop tanks? Extract a new A-6A and compare and contrast.
  15. Some were but, generally, I create my 'what ifs' simply to create screenshots for my long-running thread at the what if modellers website. Most of them are not to release standard and are regarded as disposable and do not remain on my hard drive.
  16. Fantastic previews! Good luck with these projects.
  17. Great stuff!
  18. In the immediate aftermath of the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War the senior commanders of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) ordered an urgent review of the substantial combat losses incurred during the short but brutal conflict and the resultant report highlighted the deficiencies in quantity and quality of the PAF and especially of the attack squadrons. The B-57's of No.7 and No.8 squadrons had performed heroically but losses had meant that No.8 Squadron had to be disbanded and it's surviving B-57's aircraft transferred to No.7 Squadron. Ideally, the PAF wanted a more modern long-range attack bomber with low-level penetrability and they put the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer at the top of their wish list but were given a polite rebuttal by the UK Government who were clearly determined not to actually let their ailing aircraft industry actually export something. By March 1972, and primarily due to the slow drawdown in Vietnam, the United States Government were offering war weary early F-4C's to the Pakistan Government and an order was duly placed for a batch of 24 ex-USAF F-4C's which were delivered in June 1972 much to the consternation of the Indian Government who promptly ordered more MiG's from the Soviet Union. The 24 aircraft were initially very thinly spread between No.7 squadron, a re-activated No.8 squadron and No.26 squadron but peacetime attrition soon saw No.26 squadron disbanded in 1976 although they were subsequently re-formed in 1979 with F-4E's.
