  1. Irans new Fighter - Qaher 313

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Unless they plan on using "the force" to hold the canopy shut theres no way this bird is going anywhere... At best its a mock up, more likely its a prop. Craig

  2. What level of Patch...

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

    NA April 2012 For me as well. Its stable, it works and I don't wanna break it with a new patch. Craig

  3. What about good war films in general?

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Skyviper's topic in The Pub

    As others have said portraying the horror of war is vital to a good war film, so I'm bringing "We Were Soldiers" into this one as well, if for no other reason than the scene where Jimmy gets picked up to be loaded into the medivac. Otheres worth mention, though admitedly all TV series or made for TV movies: "Das Boot", "Bravo Two Zero", "Band of Brothers" & "Mission of the Shark". Craig

  4. Best Vietnam war film?

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to macelena's topic in The Pub

    "We Were Soldiers" with "Platoon" as a close second Craig

  5. Official Star Wars EP 7

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Atreides's topic in The Pub

    Am I the only person that sees this as a bad thing? Really wasn't a fan of the new Trek... where no lensflare has gone before... Craig

  6. Mod Mafia (Mig Factory) Mig29K.rar

    fallenphoenix1986 commented on russouk2004's file in MiG-29

    Downloading now, thanks

  7. What are you ?

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to TeargasHorse's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

    If I've got my landlubber hat on then EE Lightnings, preffer the early models though I also prefer the Red-top over the Firestreak. On the naval front Buccaneer for strike, Tomcat for anything else. Craig

  8. Hunter Docu

    fallenphoenix1986 posted a topic in Military and General Aviation

    Ran accross this on YT, figured you guys might appreciate it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MGPLhzj3cE Craig

  9. Women in Combat Units

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    Jessica Lynch, its already happened. Being captured and taken prisoner without firing a shot got her a Bronze star, dont quite know why. If a female recruit can meet the EXACT same standards required of a male recruit then fine, no problem, the vast majority of the famale populaion however will not be able to meet this standard. Craig

  10. Su-33KUB WIP

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

    Thanks MB. Aside from naval features, the main gear feature one wheel rather than 2, the tail boom is shorter and it has a different nose profile due to alternate radar. Dare say theres more than that but those are the features that stand out to me. Craig

  11. Wag's DCS: World Video

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Dave's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion

    Theres a Tornado, Typhoon and Hawk in the works, and a Mirage 2000, all european last time I checked :) Lke Dave said, some people just like to b****. Craig

  12. Su-33KUB WIP

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to 76.IAP-Blackbird's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

    Was hoping you would get back to this one :) Don't suppose anyone knows why they went with side by side rater than tandem ala Su-30? As I understand it this bird is the trainer for the Su-33 but is still a fully capable fighter in its own right. Craig

  13. DCS World, Overview Video, New Announcements

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to SkateZilla's topic in CombatACE News

    Holding out for some western navy birds before I get into this, might be tempted if any western attack helo's show up first though. Strangely drawn to the Mil-24 as well, didnt see that coming Craig

  14. Su-33 video - must see

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Wraith27's topic in Military and General Aviation

    16 jets on a ship that big is a bit low, a large part of that however is due to the missile silo's up front and the need to house the entire airgroup below decks. Without the silos the hangar could be extended enough for a few more 33's. Alternativly you could have 24 Mig-29's as is. Craig

  15. Su-33 video - must see

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Wraith27's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Mig-29K's are on the way, 24 on order over the next few years. So when they arrive the 33 is out I guess. Craig

  16. Samurai's Shipyard

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to WhiteBoySamurai's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

    If were throwing out wishlists how about the Vikramaditaya, now that theres a Mig-29K in the pattern it'd be cool to have a home for it Craig
  17. Toyed witht he idea of doing something like this myself, still might. Was thinking along the lines of Northern Sabre circa '50/60's RN and USN vs. the usual suspects. Craig edit: disregard the above, Numbnuts here entered the thread from the homepage and asumed it was on the SF2-X boards
  18. For some reason I was expecting this one to be Cuban, works for me though Craig

  19. US NAVY father & son flight

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to MAKO69's topic in The Pub

    Can't find the vid just now but heres one from about 11 years back: Kris Ward, son of Nigel "Sharky" Ward of Falklands fame: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1328363/Unique-double-for-Navy-Harrier-father-and-son.html Craig

  20. Driving me nuts

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to russouk2004's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion

    Can't help but I'd been hopping a 29K would emerge from someones workshop for a while. Need some Russian hookers to chase in my Tomcat Craig
  21. A couple of Squadrons of these would have cleaned up in '67. Craig

  22. Best movie of 2012?

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Stary's topic in The Pub

    Agreed, my personal theory always was that the Xeno's were some sort of Bio weapon. Wasnt nearly as spine tinglingly frightning as it was hyped to be but it filled in the blanks well enough. Looking forward to the next one. Craig

  23. Best movie of 2012?

    fallenphoenix1986 replied to Stary's topic in The Pub

    Prometheus, not quite what I'd hoped for but close enough. Craig
  24. Just bought the 102 yesterday after seeing this pack, had shied away since Ron hadn't updated his mods with TK's constant patching. Now I only wish he'd originally modeled the 106 as well. Going to be spending quite some time in this bird over the next few weeks. Craig
  25. Probably a better fit using the Albion/Bulwark or any other Majestic/Collosus class ships. IIRC the Sea Fury conducted its deck landing trials aboard HMS Victorious, however that would have been in her imediate post war axial deck configuration. By the time she was refitted as seen in Hinch's model the Sea Furies were gone. Craig
