This is the SF1 download announcements. Shouldn't it be in the SF2 section?

Ooh, and Justin Beiber could play the son! In 3D!!

Just watched this fascinating documentary. http://www.channel5.com/shows/revealed/episodes/americas-planned-war-on-britain-revealed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red I never heard of this before, but now I know where Harry Turtledove got his inspiration from. One for Wrench to get stuck into? Just imagine if the war actually happened and America won and then eventually invaded the UK. We would have wall to wall US tv and movies, a Starbucks in every street and a McDonalds on every corner......er, hang on a sec...

BBC article: Why Star Wars should be left to the fans http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14944240 As for a Top Gun sequel, how about Maverick gets shot down over some unamed Middle eastern country that flies 'MiG 23' Kfirs and his son has to steal an F-16 to go and save him! In 3D!!

Many happy returns!

I've got that book too. Great story that I'll have to re-read now. Would it make a good mission using Wrench's SoCal(?) terrain?

Hmmm. Is it worth getting Mitchell Gant out of retirement yet? Kenneth Aubrey: When the first rumors began to filter out of Japan some three years ago, our theoretical weapons strategists stood before CombatAce moderator command to explain - with much confidence - that it would take the Japanese a minimum of ten years to develop a set of battery-powered cat ears that react to "brainwaves," allowing the wearer to wiggle them. I stand before you today to explain - with much regret - that we were wrong.

He-111B would be good for SCW too

Just a thought, but does anyone remember the Red Sea terrain from F-22 Total Air war? IIRC it covered Saudi & Yemen on one side of the sea and Egypt, Sudan & Ethiopia on the other.

A, B, C & D are in this pack: http://combatace.com/files/file/9775-viper-pack-from-avsim/ They are quite old though and the mods for the cockpits etc mentioned above will probably be needed.

If you can't get those models then have you looked at the Tamiya & Trumpeter 1/350 model aircraft sets for their carriers? A quick Google search also revealed that Airfix have a set out for HMS Illustrious ith Harriers (GR7/9 & FA.2, Merlins & Sea Kings). http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/ships/warships/british-navy/ah0022-1350-scale-aircraft-for-hms-illustrious-ah0022/?searchguid=&resultspage=&sortorder= http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?product_category_id=&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=&code=&product_type_id=all_aircraft_kits&scale_id=996&keyword_search=&setPerPage=100

Many happy returns!

BBC coverage including footage of the plane going down. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-14605914 RIP

Central America would be good for Nicaragua/El Salvador/Honduras scenarios from the '80s and Belize/Guatemala confrontations with the UK supporting Belize (didn't we send Harriers there at one time?). For Scandinavia I'm already using Baltika's excellent North Cape terrain for a Wings over Scandinavia install based on WOE (haven't the heart to import it into SF2 and set up a dedicated install with all the patches every 5 minutes adding lots of non-needed planes!). A Yugoslavia/Balkans terrain would be very welcome after what appears to be several false starts over the years.

Surely this should have been DLC #007?

Nice. How about an export version with Swedish markings or, given the Swedish make their own fighters, a masquerade as a Saab from the '60s?

many happy returns guys!

http://www.amazon.com/Invasion-Eric-L-Harry/dp/0515128422 Yes it's a bit far fetched, but a good read nevertheless.

There's Ferret available for msfs. I wonder if it could be converted for SF, with the proper permissions of course?

You mean like this one? http://combatace.com/files/file/5883-ta-4h-skyhawk-israeli-air-force/ btw Great mission reports BeachAV8R. Looking forward to many more.

Doesn't this mean TK could put the C-130 back ingame?

Is it just a matter of changing the IRIAF decal to an IIAF one in the skin folder and a rename of the folder and the textureset.ini or is there more to it than that? If it's just a decal change then have a look in the Iranian F-14A download in the first gen section as I think the decal you need is in there.

No prizes for guessing the intro: Royal Flight, turn right to heading 270. Maintain terrain masking Expect clearance to Angels 340 Royal Flight, cleared to... No! Abort, Abort! Bandits inbound... Turn left to heading 195, continue terrain masking Damn! Voodoo Three, Voodoo Three, Watch our a$$ Unnhhh! Royal Flight, MiGs acquired. Missiles armed and hungry... Fox 1! Fox 1! Arrgh!! Arrgh!! Royal Flight, MiGs despatched! The new equation in air combat: (SF2+(F-31 x 2)+(C-17 x 1)-(MiG29 x 2))>FA

Could he also do the F-4N & F-4S with minimal additional work?

If TK's policy is to just tweak the already flyable planes then any of the following would make me put my hand in my pocket: A-4M A-4N F-4E Kurnass 2000
