I like it! Hope it's included as a complete pilot in part 2 of the pack. How about posting it at SimHQ? Maybe it will inspire Cat to do another Sacha story in WOx? Especially as we've got a Black Sea terrain for her to fly over.

I love it when a plan comes together....(always wanted to say that! ) Oh, we might need some financing. Do you think Mk2 would be gracious enough to assist, or are we going to have to rob multiple Vegas casinos on the same night?

Well we can always re-introduce the traditional rum ration! As for picking planes, if the size of the deck is a problem I guess I'd go for an A-4, maybe one of those fancy A-4R Fightinghawks.

Great stuff. Wonder if TK will do this for Strike Fighters Europe or whatever the Vista version of WOE is going to be called?

CL, would you be in if we could get you this to fly? http://courtesyaircraft.com/F-AZDQ%20Skyraider%20Spec.htm

Then you'll just have to learn to land with the wings swept back

The French carrier Clemenceau is on it's way to dry dock in Teeside to be broken up: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7872650.stm What if a crack team of current and former military operators and assorted hangers-on, drawn together by their love of simming, beer and eels (not necessarily in that order) intercepted the ship en route and set course for the mid Atlantic? A second team would walk into the Boneyard and secure a number of naval aircraft - Hornets, Tomcats and some Vikings which have just recently become available - which they would fly to rendevous with the carrier (with tanker support provided by our very own Storm). A third team would make a stop-off in the UK to pick up some passengers for the ride and a spot of keelhauling under the watchful eye of our very own Racindriver1. Then a leisurely cruise southwards and around Africa (I don't think we could sneak into the Med and through Suez) during which some real MP dogfights will prove once and for all that the Tomcat is better than the Hornet, and Mannie can practice flying through the hangar deck for real! Next stop, the Gulf of Aden to sort out those pesky Somali pirates. After which we can head for the Persian Gulf and an appointment with some nuclear facilities that need dismantling with extreme prejudice. After that we can travel the world righting wrongs with a girl/boy in every port and not a snowflake to be seen, unless someone wants to try the DBS campaign for real! Who's with me?

Lol, they don't call Manchester the Rainy City for nothing! More seriously, with the increased global warming, apparently this will lead to more snow in the UK in the near future so the government had better start planning for that now. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/...scientists.html

Well someone could always mod this to the Micropose version of the F-117, which was like their F-19, with an internal gun and 4 weapons bays that could carry just about anything in the USAF arsenal.

Great stuff lindr2! Do they accept Paypal?

Lol, 'Scooby Doo, Where Aaarrre You?' We'll need some of the hippy version parked outside RAF Greenham Common in the next rebuild of the cold war EAWEuro terrain.

By Dawn's Early Light was a great film. It was based on the book Trinity's Child by William Prochnau. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity's_Child I read it when it came out in 1983 and it scared the cr*p out of me!

Vey nice. Doing workups for Operation Southern Watch or OIF addons to ODS?

I remember seeing a demo video for SFG and bought it on the strength of that alone. Found SimHQ, stayed a while, and then joined The Great Exodus here to the promised land. I still look in on the Thirdwire forum but it's not the same. BTW - Just downloaded the ODS (Only Dave's Sycophants?) mod and am lovin' it!

Lol...but where's the Tower?

Top Gun and BoB. But I love them all! Except Skyfighters, which I had to Google. Looks good but is it available on Region 2 DVD?

It's snowing on and off here in Bury/Manchester. Nothing too bad though. Having said that, when I got into work we found that the boiler had broken so we're going to close early And the boss forked out for fish and chips for everyone for lunch too Also, when I dropped my daughter off at school this morning the kids were having the mother of all snowball fights in the playground!

Welcome back to Thirdwire, and to WOI. This thread should help you: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=19806

Instead of Dhimar being supported by the US, how about if it was a former British or French colony, and their forces were the ones called in to the fray. For the Brits you could have Invincible with Harriers and Sea Harriers, and maybe RAF Jaguars in Desert Pink, while Dhimar flys Hunters, maybe upgrading to Hawks and possibly Tornados (the Saudi skin could be the base for a Dhimari one). If it was a former French colony you could have a carrier with Crusaders and Super Etendards, land based Mirage IIIs and F1s in desert camo, and Dhimar could have Super Mysteres and Mirage IIIs, and maybe some Alphajets. Another idea - would it be possible to make Paran friendly and Dhimar the enemy, equiping them accordingly? Then you could get a new perpective out of the map.

Thought so. Thanks for the assistance guys. p.s. Kevin, don't forget to place a ZSU-23-4 outside the prison at Kermanshah, Iran, to throw a spanner in the works of Operation Warlord

I'm putting together a 'WOEMAC' install based around the excellent Black Sea terrain. The main contenders will be Russia vs Ukraine, and I'll add in Turkey and maybe some other NATO stuff later once it's up and running. I fly mostly single game generated missions, so as Russia and Ukraine use a lot of the same planes I'll be making nation specific Ukrainian versions of the planes and a selection of weapons. Do I need to do the same with ground objects (tanks, trucks ZSU-23-4 etc) and for SAM missiles too? I don't want the Russian planes facing US tanks and AAA. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Lol! Wouldn't mind having a go at El Al for WOI though...

It looks like it's been done already and will be included in the Wings Over Timor campaign. Check out the thread at Capun's site in the WIP forum.
