We should have bought it and renamed it the USS Combatace. We could have liberated some carrier jets from the Boneyard and set ourselves up as mercenaries for hire and live the Strike Fighters dream for real! Just think of the possibilities..... Unlimited flight time and air combat Getting orders from shady CIA case officers, self-destructing tapes or damsels in distress who's aged father is being strong armed by the local hoods A girl in every port A theme tune by Mike Post A new adventure every week!

Looks great! Any chance of adding RAF Sutton Craddock for a certain Mosquito squadron to use? The base is fictional but was supposedly in Yorkshire where there is actually a Full Sutton airfield today..... http://www.fullsuttonairfield.com/location.html https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sutton+craddock+airfield&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr&ei=NYdpUueMH8SV0AX9-IGYAg

Like many of you guys Red storm Rising is my favourite of TC's books and probably my favourite book period. When I first read it during the summer holidays as an 18 year old in 1987 I felt it was the ultimate military fiction book and the one I wanted to have written! Needless to say it's one of the most battered books on my bookshelf, despite having electronic copies too these days. I think the quality dipped, for me, after Executive Orders and Rainbow Six , although don't get me wrong even most of the later books are still head and shoulders above a lot of the stuff out there. The movies were great, and Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon are my favourite games, after TK's of course. Threat Vector just came out in paperback and I was waiting to finish some other books I've got queued up to read before I bought it. I think I'll get it this weekend as a tribute to the man himself. For tonight, I think I'll take up an F-19 in SF2:E to re-enact Operation Dreamland and hunt me down some Mainstays, and then have a go at taking down some vampires in an F-14A in SF2:NA. RIP sir and thanks for everything.

Game generated single missions or user created ones?

I'm sure there's a map in the book showing the route of the flight and the location of the target. I'll dig out my old copy over the weekend and see if I can scan it.

There are some SF1 versions: http://combatace.com/files/file/7247-china-ww2-upgrade-pak/ http://combatace.com/files/file/7155-ww2-burma-by-edward/ http://combatace.com/files/file/7153-ww2-china-by-edward/ http://combatace.com/files/file/7041-burma-ww2-terrain-hot-fix/ http://combatace.com/files/file/7034-burma-ww2-targets-upgrade-pak/ I would guess that these are on Wrench's to-do list to upgrade to SF2 standard.

Looks good so far Kevin. Strike Fighters 2: North Pacific?

Wasn't Montycz doing something like this a while back? Maybe pm him to see what resources he's got?

And I thought it was just an export version for Greece!

Are you starting the mission from your own runway or are you starting in the air over the target yourself?

I know about IR2003 and its one of my favourite terrains, but what would I need to do to make Iraq enemy territory and Iran neutral territory for the period 1991 to 2003?

I'd like to use the Desert Storm terrain for some post-1991 scenarios like Desert Fox, Southern Watch and ultimately OIF. How do I change the front line to the Kuwait/Iraq border so Kuwait is now friendly territory and what else would need to be done to update the terrain for this use? Ultimately I'm aiming to have a SF2 Persian Gulf install containing all the objects, terrains, campaigns etc to be able to fly Iran/Iraq, Desert Storm, and Operation Darius from the available mods, plus the post-1991 Iraq scenarios above, and also Gepard's Persian Gulf terrain so I can fly some 1980s scenarios like Operation Praying Mantis and some fictional US vs Iran action like The Warbirds and Sword Point and of course recreate my lost youth flying F-19 missions against the SAM sites at Bushehr!

Awesome work! Can't wait. Wouldn't the Israeli version be 2000BJ like the Mirage IIICJ? The Japanese version could be 2000BN (Nippon).

Jap Zeros over California? Where's Wild Bill Kelso when you need him!

Thanks for the update/re-release Wrench!

Hook down!

Is that a re-paint for a TV show or movie as a faux Battle of Britain bird maybe?

Oh well, if you ever feel the urge to re-create it I, for one, will download it! It would be useful for SF2:NA, Falklands, ODS, Iraq post 2003, Afghanistan and I'm sure plenty of other terrains.

Thanks Kevin. No doubt you'll upgrade to NA standard so we can use naval search, naval strike etc. I wonder if Veltro still has the files for the MR.2?

Sorry to resurrect a two year old thread, but I was wondering if the Nimrod is in a WIP pipeline somewhere? The original MR.1 seems to have been pulled and not (yet) re-uploaded.
