  1. Thanks Streakeagle. NVIDEA 8800GT & REALTEK HD & DIRECTX 9.0c Edit: I've just updated my DirectX. Edit: Also updated my Video Driver (175.19). Only one flight so far but I merrily blazed away with my SUU-23 at the convoy and had hoped to shoot down a MiG with it but overshot and got an Atoll up the corn chute. It's just not cricket!
  2. I've re-installed and put both patches on but without a weapons pack. I'll have a play around with my favourite Phantom at the moment - the F-4S. POSTSCRIPT Damn! It did it again. Not even Ctrl+Esc gets you out of it. Help! I feel naked without my SUU-23!
  3. This happened to me twice yesterday and it's only by reading this that I realise that I too was firing the Suu-23 slung under an F-4. I noticed that the pod was ejecting shells something I normally swirtch off so I'll give that a go.
  4. Phantom F.3 of No.5 squadron, leaps into the skies to chase a red dot around Europe.
  5. A VW Golf.
  6. First find the style you want http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/dow...vs-markings-27/ Then make the decals (something I struggled with as you can see) http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/gen...ing-decals.html or http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry180296
  7. I thought it was just me! Definitely getting more FPS with the patch.
  8. A very generous addition - Thank you!
  9. Only two flights so far but I thought the FM was good and just enough to keep you on your toes at low-level when you're standing on your wing tip. The Alabama ANG skin was a bonus especially as I'm plowing through a superb World Air Power Journal book about the ANG at the moment. Anyway, thanks again GMG. Chapeau!
  10. I'm about to go to work and wish I hadn't seen this now! I feel like taking a 'sickie' . Looking forward to this - well done to the GMG. Long live diplomacy!
  11. First class work NFG and well done to the original creators too! I'd forgotten just how good it is.
  12. Hey NFG I hope you haven't 'overwritten' the wraparound version... I prefer it!
  13. Download the latest version of GIMP - it's freeware and a tremendous asset to modding.

  16. Thanks, I appreciate your comments. I've had a buzz out of flying this bird myself!

  19. Not stealthy I admit but I did this model a few years ago using a 1/72 scale Lightning F.6 fuselage with 1/48 scale MiG-21 wings! My backstory had additional fuel as a feeble excuse for creating this 'Frankenfighter'. Back to the Tornado F.3 I've enjoyed the books by Ian Black (Last of the Lightnings and Last of the Phantoms) who flew all three types in the 80's and he was less than impressed with the Tornado F.3. As for me, I just love the rakish looks of it and wasn't it potentially the fastest aircraft at low-level? Perhaps the RAF should have done a 'Project Sageburner' with it! http://tailhookdaily.typepad.com/tailhook_...tdeck-fr-2.html
  20. For the UK air defence role intercepting Badgers, Bears and Bisons it was a reasonable platform but it's origins are with the bean-counters and RAF pilots have been less than complimentary about it from the 'Blue Circle' fiasco right through to the current day. And wasn't it deliberately 'kept back' during the Gulf Wars?
