and the new question is... how?

I'M sure that your dad had a happy life and was a proud father and husband

UllyB, I send you a messaje with the URL of the site that you can download it

Primary: Interdiction, Strike ground target, Deep Strike Secondary: Battlefield Air Interdiction, Close Air Support, Combat Air Patrol the primary CAS plane, in a big conventional war fought with the USAF, is the fast jet! a sidenote! generally, cluster bombs in't a loadout for CAS mission, where they must drop the bombs nearby friendly troops and the relative big pattern of dispertion of the bomblets let a risk of friendly fire

"biutiful"

thx bro! you're the man!

please another movie help... I don't remember the movie name that it was about two USAF pilots and friends who go to Nellis and the plot catch there... the main caracter flies a F-4 phantom and his friend, of which develop and fierce "friendly" rivalry between both, flies a F-5 tiger II

I'm doubtful about the USAF adopting a maritime-related name to a plane coming from a own funded program

sweet!

From the games point of view, any addon isn't useless..well done and keep going!

Terrain following in older aircrafts was pretty much a automated business/multi-crew task I dont remember right now if the early nap-of-the earth flight machines (B-47, B-52 late models, etc) had full terrain following capacity, but in the F-111 and B-1B, terrain following is performed by the aircraft... so, to emulate some sort of terrain following (in night or adverse weather) just planning a very low altitude route and turn on the autopilot (the full one) and you can use the terrain avoidance standard mode as a "monitoring" feedbacks as happens in most cases with those machines, the last requisite is to tweak the aircraft's INI minimum AI level of flight (200 300 or 600 ft) so the autopilot will flight the machine close to the ground/sea. I never tried this before, but seeing low altitude AI flights, shows that the result is a kind of "soft ride" mode in most cases, but the AI isn't smart enough and sometime it crash into very high peaks. Well, I think that for avoid this, you must monitoring all flight with the terrain avoidance scope to override the AI for that type of "malfuntion", as in the real life. Is matter to experiment a little bit and do some testing to obtain a usable pseudo-TF mode.

yep... Me2 maybe one day all of us will migrate... surely... but meanwhile.... I always have been in love of the hi speed/hi altitude trend of the 50s... this is a "yeah! great!" addon for sure, like others hi speed hotel sierra stuff around here, but is clear the lack of "legitimate" targets for most of them, like a M4 "bounder" of Sukhoi T-4 100 and no just foxbats and "blinders" to try to catch... like any other blackbird fan, this is a great addon!

From Anderson (http://www.militar.org.ua:8080/foro/member15998.html): The way of how serials are classified in FAC's aircraft is by function or type of aircraft: transport 1000 Trainers 2000 Attack / Fighter 3000 Helicopter 4000 Liaison / Intel 5000 and Kfir fleet to this day is like this: TC-7 FAC 3003 (this still have not gone to TC-12 and it seems that will not) TC-12 FAC 3004 (this were the one that went off the runway in Cartagena, lost) FAC 3005 (this were the one that went down in Santander, lost) FAC 3006 FAC 3007 (which Israelis brought for replacement of 3004) C-7/10/12 FAC 3040 FAC 3041 to C-12 FAC 3042 lost over magdalena river years ago FAC 3043 FAC 3044 FAC 3045 FAC 3046 lost over the pacific years ago FAC 3047 FAC 3048 FAC 3049 FAC 3050 FAC 3051 C-10 FAC 3052 C-12 FAC 3053 C-12 FAC 3054 C-12 FAC 3055 C-10 FAC 3056 C-10 FAC 3057 C-10 FAC 3058 C-10 FAC 3059 C-10 FAC 3060 C-10 FAC 3061 C-10 Those not marked is because I have no photographic record yet that I confirm what was updated.

good! congrats!

and now I'll go with a fench one...

Vickers-Armstrong Type 559, one of the entries sumitted for the Operational Requirement F.155 for an interceptor aircraft to defend the United Kingdom from high-flying supersonic bombers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_Type_559

well, that's reality: http://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article5.html "Externally, the F-16C is almost identical to the F-16A. The only significant external difference is the introduction on the F-16C of an enlarged triangular base or "island" on the rear fuselage leading up to the vertical fin, with a small blade antenna protruding upward from it. This extra space was originally intended to house the Westinghouse/ITT AN/ALQ-165 ASPJ (Airborne Self-Protection Jammer) that is used on Navy aircraft. The USAFs ASPJ program became mired in controversy in 1989-90, followed by the USAF's withdrawal from the project in January 1990. As a result, the ASPJ was never fitted in USAF F-16s." remember that the USAF F-16s use the external podded ALQ-131 full mating with the ALR-56M and the ALE-40/42 to electronic protection , a similar funtionality that, for example, the F-15E with his full integrated all-internal TEWS, so, in case of any menace (enemy fighters with BVR capability or SAMs) they hang-up theirs pods, even the F-16CJ (F-16C block50/52) that is the premier SEAD platform in the USAF. but a close support mission of friendly troops on ground, without any perceived menace, they simply fly without any ECM pod (as A-10 does in the same scenarios like iraq and afganistan) making it a little less expensive such missions. also remember one thing: the USAF have other type of planes for demanding missions (F-15C, F-15E, before the F-117s and now the F-22, soon the F-35, B-1, B-52, B-2) and don't forget the navy planes (EA-6, F-18s) but other countries, like Poland, Chile, Turkey, the UAE and so on, the F-16 is one or the best plane that they had, so put in intenal jammers (and other enhancement like CFT or internal targeting system) in their F-16s is worth it. and don't forget another fact, a lot planes out there have no internal or ever external ECM pods, especially those that may be confronted with the US, even in the cold war, just a bunch of soviet MiG-29s were equipped with the gardenya internal ECM pod, and the Su-27 uses the external sorbtsiya ECM pod have a good day to everyone!

and the specific question of the thread... the effectiveness of internal (and external) jammers is a topics of utilization, most of the "internal" jammers is in fact, versions of external podded jammers. and in fact, the podded external jammers were really derivatives of early internal jammers. but those early internal jammers (along with others countermeasures like chaff and decoys) were put in (big) bombers to confuse primarily early warning and surveillance radars and then fire control radars of AAA batteries... with the advent of the SAMs, the need to spoof them was a new task of jammers in bombers and strike aircrafts. the ECM/ESM features were for much time a aid to allow bombers and strike aircraft to "get through" the enemy air defenses ( which were formed of EW radars, Fire control radard and airborne interception radar of interceptors aircraft). those air defenses were far less complicated in the front lines, the natural space of tactical aircrafts, so the need of protection that allow them to "get through" weren't so acute. the evolution of the air warfare, that brings more and better air defenses in the front lines, and the increment of usage of tactical aircraft into well defended enemy space, demanded the utilization of jammers and countermeasures to assure mission sucess and survival. the last evolution of the air warfare show the generalization of the BVR combat capabilities in fighters, so the jammers now is a "must" in any mission, no a "option" as it was in the past.

in fact, the F-16C has a specific empty space to carry a internal jammer in the base of the tailfin, which was widened to carry the jammer, and the UHF antenna "faired" in the A model was replaced with a external blade UHF antenna, in fact, that is one of the most easy recognition feature between a late A-model and one early C-model. the USAF finally didn't put a internal jammer into the C-model because of cost matters, but the new built C-models for export, (block 50+ onward) carry internal jammers. much of the non-specialized publications, or most common in older ones, they mistake (no wrongly) the concept between ECM equipment and ESM equipment, so is frequent to classify a RWR-antennae as a ECM-antennae PS: that "ECM-antenna fairing" indicated in the schematics, is in fact, the rear RWR receiver antenna.

in the game by default I think that there is at least the SUU-23 pod for the F-4C, but the weaponpack06 for sure there is the SUU-16 and others...

in every aircraft folder there is a .ini file with the name of the folder itself for example, if there is a folder named "F-4E" (from the F-4 phantom") there are a file in it: F-4E.ini F-4E-ini is the general ini file indicating the instalation of the aircraft, so must have the same name of the folder itself, so if you want to change the folder name (for example: to phantom-E) this file must be named in the same way: phantom-E.ini in this way you can order (alphabetically) the folders in aircraft folders the name that you see in the drop-down list in the game are in the same .ini file, open it with any text editor and you'll see this lines on the beginning: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=F-4E PhantomII <-------- this is the name that show up in the list as "stick" says the names are ordered alphabetically, so you figure it out how do you want to order it.

nice!

hey good work!
