"Here's one of the more rare variants of the F-105 Thunderchief- one of the four F-105F two seaters modifed under the Commando Nail program 1967-1968. These four aircraft could be identified by their wrap around tan/green SE Asia camouflage; the standard SEA camo pattern had light gray undersides. Commando Nail began as Project Northscope. Eager to replicate the night/all-weather bombing capability of the Navy's A-6 Intruders, Pacific Air Forces HQ directed that a handful of F-105 Thunderchiefs be modified with night/all-weather attack capability. Four F-105Fs were modified at Yokota AB in Japan with improved radar systems and cockpit instrumentation. The modifications and additional electronics proved to be maintenance intensive and tempermental but the handpicked Commando Nail crews proved the modifications worked in combat. The inital cadre of crews called themselves "Ryan's Raiders" and flew their missions out of Korat RTAFB. Commando Nail wasn't expanded to other F-105Fs as the available airframes were prioritized for the Wild Weasel mission and the impending arrival of the F-111 offered better night/all-weather attack capability. But the Commando Nail crews laid down the tactical foundations for F-111 operations in Vietnam. Image: USAF" Original source: La Jetée Press - Facebook

I have all titles from the PS1 and PS2. I really liked the AC2 and AC3 in the PS1. The newest ones from newer consoles I didn´t played yet.

SF2 not well optimized for newer systems?
madvad replied to JamesWilson's topic in General Discussion
Its a old game running in a 32-bit software engine. So, don´t matter how much RAM your machine have, the SF2 never gonna use more than 3Gb or something around this. Its the same with Windows 32 and 64 bit versions: you need the 64-bit version to take full advantage of all the installed RAM. -

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
madvad replied to Menrva's topic in File Announcements
What do you mean? I've always used LGBs to attack any ground target, be it tanks, AAA, etc. and "hard" targets like hangars, buildings, etc. But it is only possible to aim at these targets if you have the designator pod. Without the pod, the bombs will only hit the primary target, because as the game manual says, it is as if "some FAC or soldier on the ground was illuminating the target with a laser". Therefore, the pods are not just "eye-candy"...without them the bombs do not really "lock" on the targets, with the main exception for the reasons stated above.- 258 replies

Happen to have a question for terrain masters present
madvad replied to simonmiller416's topic in Mods & Skinning Discussion
Something that really frustrates me a bit is the lack of scale in the buildings. I know there's a reason for that, they always seem far away, but when you put the aircraft next to the building, it looks like a miniature.
