If you tell them to attack ground targets rather than just your target what happens?

Looks great Dave and it's one of my favorite sequences in the book: ...They were Phantom jets of the New York Air National Guard, configured as Wild Weasel SAM-killers. While Russian attention was on the converging bomber raid, they skimmed over hilltops and down valleys, using the crenelated landscape to mask their low-level approach. The back-seat crewman in each aircraft counted the missile radars, selecting the most dangerous targets. When they got to within ten miles of Keflavik, they popped up high and fired a salvo of Standard-ARM antiradar missiles. The Russians were caught by surprise. Laboring to direct missile fire at the bombers, they didn't expect a two-part raid. The incoming missiles were not detected. Three of the ARMs found targets, killing two search radars and a missile launch vehicle. One launch commander turned his vehicle around and trained manually on the new threat. The Phantoms jammed his fire-control radar, leaving behind a series of chaff clouds as they came in at thirty-foot height. As each pilot raced to the target area assigned to him, he conducted a hasty visual search. One saw an undamaged SAM launcher and streaked toward it, dropping Rockeye cluster bomb canisters that fell short but spread over a hundred bomblets all over the area. The SA-11 launcher exploded in his wake; its crew never knew what had happened. A thousand yards beyond it was a mobile antiaircraft gun vehicle. The Phantom engaged it with his own cannon, badly damaging it as he swept across the rest of the peninsula and escaped back over the sea, a cloud of chaff and flares in his wake. It was a letter-perfect Weasel mission. All four aircraft were gone before the Soviet missile crews were able to react. The two SAMs that were launched exploded harmlessly in chaff clouds. The battery had lost two-thirds of its launcher vehicles and all of its search radars. Three of the mobile guns were also destroyed or damaged. The bombers were now a mere twenty miles out.... I have to say I always pictured them as F-4Es because of the bit about engaging a AAA vehicle with cannon but I suppose it could be a gunpod on an F-4D. I was thinking about the loadout though and if they carry a centreline gunpod they have to carry the Rockeyes and Standards under the wings, so no drop tanks, and it's a long way to Iceland and back even with tankers. If they're F-4Es they could have wing tanks outboard, Standards inboard and the Rockeyes on a centreline TER. Or maybe I'm just rivet counting and obsessing over a work of fiction! Reason for edit: I just realised what I was asking was a big no no!

Yes I know it's a different model, and payware too. I was just passing on the info that there are more skins available in case any one wanted to use it in game.

The master is back! All hail the awsomeness of Kout!

Go for it Kevin! I looked through my archive and you're right. There are very few high viz skins. However the model included in the WOV expansion pack came with 4 high viz skins so maybe you can get permission to convert those to include with your version. BTW - If anyone's interested I was looking at the Razbam A-6s and EA-6s and if you also have the FSX versions there are extra skins that can be converted to be used with the SF models.

Looks great! Do you have any plans to re-do your Top Gun movie skins from the TMF Tomcat for the TW version?

Blimey Gr.Viper, what do you think this is, the Battle of Midway?!

If I've not got enough RAM to play this but I buy it anyway and do a merged install is it going to screw up my other games if I launch from say the SF2:E .exe or will I get the new features in the original terrains but can't play on the Iceland map?

Many Happy Returns! And what a birthday present from TK!

Veltro's model is an Alize not a Gannet, so don't scrub it off your list just yet Russ!

It's been a while since I saw it but Attack Force Z was pretty good (& I loved the silenced M3 Greaseguns!). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083591/ Australian & NZ SAS attempt to rescue a Japanese defector from a Japanese-infested island in the Pacific.

Damn, I've only got XP and not enough RAM!

Have you tried DXTBmp? http://www.btinternet.com/~mnwright/programs/dxtbmp.htm

Marcfighters did some skins for Russo's Hawk and there are some others in the SF1 section too if you're planning on doing a 'complete' pack Kevin...

Ooh, the UK and Norway on the same map.... Really looking forward to this one.

Many Happy Returns!

I'm guessing D-Day will be June 6th 1944 2012!

Ansons also did a Germany terrain http://combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=8154 I just pulled it from my archives and looked at the planning map. It seems to stretch from Berlin in the east to somewhere west of Eindhoven, maybe even the Belgian border.

Many happy returns!

Isn't Ansons doing that big map of France that includes a lot of the rest of Europe too? Not sure how far east it extends though.

Looks great. Any chance of a 'what if' Iranian skin using that Pakistani camo? If not I'll have a go myself.

Welcome home!

Just found this http://tcpgen.tripod.com/ Here's mine: Drug lords devise a scheme to smuggle an impressive amount of cocaine for ransom under the watchful eye of Afghani rebels. The plot twists when the Drug lords hijack a shipment of nuclear warheads even after their demands are met, unless a rookie CIA agent eager to prove his worth can overcome his brooding self-doubt and stop the Drug lords once and for all. The movie ends with a mildly comical and/or ironic scene in which the Drug lords blow up or go to prison. Another satisfying tale of political intrigue and personal redemption closes, and we all walk away from this movie a little wiser. I'm going to call it 'The Sum of all Clear and Present Fears' Oh, and Justin Bieber will pay a young Jack Ryan with Samuel L Jackson as Admiral Greer. In 3D!

Yeah, I know and I know that there are plenty of Atlantic Fleet squadrons in game already - it's just that the screenies were bugging me! IIRC in RSR there's a part where some Pac Fleet ships are sent through the Panama Canal into the Atlantic - to make up for losses in the Atlantic or to bolster the force to retake Iceland? I'm going to start re-reading it as soon as I've fininshed my current book!
