Field Improvised Tactical Aircraft Composite Skin Repair
Slartibartfast replied to charlielima's topic in Military and General Aviation
There are only 2 items required for a toolkit :- WD40 to make something that should move move... Duct Tape to make what shouldn't move not move... Its the only thing in my tool kit... Also you could judge how well an RAF Hercules would fly on the amount of Duct tape used... Duct tape its like the Force it has a dark side and a light side... Use the Ducttape Luke... -

Hmm the Brecon Beacons been there a few times and I still havn't seen it... Fog and mist and rain thats all I ever saw in my times in that wonderful place (where's the irony face when you need it?) Seriously I spent quiet a bit of time there and snow never went anywhere near it even the snow was afraid to go there...

The Double D's

Good luck with the PC Unk but at least you have narrowed it down to what it is... as to the Towel I never travel without one... good for use as an Emergency Parachute... -

The Double D's
Slartibartfast replied to hgbn's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Well Flt Lt Andrews is now looking at nearly the same amount of Kills as The Red Baron... Its Grim Up north they say bloomin too right 2 Tornado's for an Intercept when we should have gone 4 or even 8 ship but thems the breaks ho hum... 2 Tornado's Full weapons no Tanks... Well we went out to the old Stomping ground that is Fulda to keep the red's off our tanks and boy was it interesting 2 Mig-27's to sort out which we duly did so and then all hell broke loose... didn't notice the flight of Mig-23's and Mig-29's escorting them anyway we got stuck into both and came out without a scratch and I still don't know how I did it... Kills 2 Mig-27's 1 Sidewinder 1 gun 2 Mig-23's 2 Skyflash 2 Mig-29's 1 Sidewinder 1 gun Went home after this and flamed out on finals managed to deadstick the landing though as I was only a mile out... note to self dont use burner too much... -
Hmmm...just wondering. Which is it?
Slartibartfast replied to Saint19's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2
Well I have both and I find that the FE flight models are too easy... The OFF flight models in Phase 3 are a delight I havn't flown Phase 2 but from what I understand they where revamped... To me OFF Phase 3 is the one... Also the Spad wasn't the at its best in dogfighting it was more boom and zoom was more of an energy fighter e.g. F-4 not a Mig-17 -
Also the other thing that everyone forgets is the Islanders themselves who are proudly British I spent 4 months there in 1997 and talked to some of the people there and they are British as far as they are concerned. It always comes down to Argentina and Britain for once why dont we listen to what the Islanders who live there want ? If there was no oil/gas there would be no issue behind it... I could go on for days on this but I wont

aaahhh the days when the wind in your hair was the wind in your hair and the smell of castor oil was the smell of castor oil... Pretty planes... in a functional sort of way.

Sopwith Camel... definitely Spitfire in terms of handling but more Hurricane in terms of kills... hmmmm and the SE-5a was definitely a Spitfire in terms of speed but a Spitfire in Dogfighting at altitude... interesting question here.... The German side seem more balanced as Olham says Me-109 as DV DVa and the Butcher bird for the DVII Remember though that a plane that is of medium ability with a good pilot will always beat a fantastic machine with a poor pilot... -

Slartibartfast replied to Slartibartfast's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I realise that but I want to make a proper one as the A-4F and the A-4M have noticable differences besides whats under the skin... and as its one of my Favourite jets that hasn't been created here I thought it would be a good start... -

Your Longest Career Cheating Death
Slartibartfast replied to Akmatov's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Me I am generally managing around 20 hours in Sopwith Strutters before I make a stupid mistake e.g. I will make one more strafing run or something that daft... Kills I usually rack around 7 confirmed but many more unconfirmed... -
