Okay I had a go at this on Sunday and I quite like it even though it seems similar to Fleet Command it seems more to it... you control everything loadouts the works and I like that your bases dont have unlimited weapons for you to play with.... Also the scenarios I had a go with gave me a good work out in the old brainbox department...

Patience 2 weeks... ??? as usual... Also quick question is this plane for both SF1 and 2 I never did ask... aaarrgh Jim Lad...

And there was me thinking it was you Herr Olham with Mr Widowmaker to cause the mischief...

From my flying of the Sopwith Strutter there is no sight as I am aware off so I just drop and pray...

Its the same as the human eye doesnt need much laser light to blind it... okay its weakened by altitude but it doesnt matter no one should be pointing lasers at Aircraft cockpits... especially in the landing pattern as the pilots are at the busiest time of flight at that point...

:rofl: As to your comments rscsjsuso5 I can understand what your saying... But the Varyag has been in dry dock for a while see link for photos :- http://www.jeffhead.com/redseadragon/varyagtransform.htm But it does look like She is getting into shape... Even if its just to provide as a training carrier...

In the UK they are congregating around Airports... and firing them at Airliners as well... its Fecking Stupid... Should be jailed for attempted Murder in my books!!!

aaaargh... why do I have a lacklustre laptop unable to run OFF!!! Oh and my CFS3 disk 2 is 1200miles away with my OFF Disk!!!

Me I have crashed pranged got shot down so many times I have made plenty of Krauts Aces...

:rofl:

Fecking Idiots... Hope your okay FC... you dont light up an aircraft with a laser on a stupid scale of one to 10 that rates about a 100, I hope that they rot in some eternal damnation...

No Spitfire!!! No Hawker Hunter!!! No SR-71!!! No Yak-3 or Su-27 Only one plane left on that list to vote for and thats The Tomcat... The list as I see it is heavy on American and the European ones that are there arent exactly sexy and there are no Red Star Aircraft...!!! No Mirages either... Oh man the list could go on forever for this list... I abstain on my vote...

Outstanding... you get shot down and you can become Wyatt Earp... Ooops sorry wrong Movie... FOTI if you need to know...

Why not the Chinese have outfitted the ex Russian Carrier Varyag... plus they have the shipbuilding capability to build an Aircraft Carrier as they have been dismantled Aircraft Carriers as well... Wouldn´t be at all surprised if the PLAN has a carrier in 5 years one way or another...

Yeah my dad bought it for me as part of my Birthday... And I have a good collection of Motorbike Haynes manuals mostly not covered in oil... I would recommend the Vulcan one if you are a fan and I suppose the Spitfire one will be just as good... I suppose getting parts for one would be difficult though...

Thank you my friend...

I like those trainers when can I get a pair ???

Any landing you walk away from is a good one... Dont know who did the quote but its correct !!! Nice pics...

I remember reading Hammers Slammers about 15 years ago when I picked it up in a book store in the US... It was an enjoyable read as well... Good luck with it I hope it works well

Okay some good news is that it is not hard coded as far as I know, I am currently playing out a campaign that has 707´s and Airbuses instead... But as to how to do it I dont know... but I would be curious to know myself...

Okay I have just received the Haynes Manual for the Avro Vulcan. So far the book has got some great photos in it and seems a bit short 160 pages. In those it covers most major events for the Vulcan including the restoration. But so far its well worth the asking price for such a classic piece of Aviation history.

Tales of the Golden Monkey that brings back memories...

Okay I think there is a Sticky in the Knowledge base. Its been that long since I did this I cant remember... You need whichever weapon pack to download get the weaponpack first Bunyaps is a good starter also you will need the Weapon Editor both can be found in the downloads section. Drop the Weaponpack into the Weapons folder and then run the weapon editor... and it should work... I can´t be more specific at present as I am away from my Games PC...

Well last night 2 more sorties... Sortie 1, Armed Recce... 2 A-4G Rocket pods 2 Sidewinders Centreline tank Reports had come in of a truck convoy heading over the mountains down towards the coast. We where tasked to go hit it thats if we could find it in the Jungle!!!... Anyway Take off nothing special but flying a lightly loaded scooter of the pointy end of the boat is always fun. Headed in okay without any problems and proceeded to look for the convoy the radar was no use so had to rely on a visual sighting as if that would happen... Anyway once in the area the convoy was last located we picked up some small arms fire from a couple of light guns so we headed in to rocket them instead at least it wouldn´t be a waste of jet fuel, when my wingie picked up some moving targets on his Radar and we went to investigate and we found 3 trucks moving at about 30 mph and all of them carrying SA-2 Rockets. So we split and I rolled in while my wingman covered me I fired both pods and took out all three trucks. We couldn´t find anything else so we rolled off and head back to the boat. Where I for once got a good landing... looks like I got my groove as they say... Sortie 2 Flak Suppression. 2 A-4G Rockets and AGM-45´s Okay the afternoon run in the heat was a lot of a nightmare. Number one the heat meant we had to fly light no centre tank and only rockets and shrikes not a good start. Anyway take off was more of a stagger into the air type... Join up and climbed to 15000ft to help the jets out was a bit of a struggle we where only 60 miles or so out from the target area and as soon as we where 20 miles out we picked out the target all on a mountain top not good at all as there was a town with an airfield about 10 miles away with an SA-2 Sam site. Life got interesting to say the least. We rolled in and the FANSONG painted me and the battery fired a pair of missiles thankfully I was lined up on the FANSONG just in case so I loosed a shrike and headed for the jungle. The SAM´s missed me and I missed the FANSONG so I hit it with rockets and then zoom climbed back to height while my wingman took out a triple a site. Unfortunately Wingie took a few rounds of 23mm from a Shilka and he staggered off pouring smoke, he banged out cleanly and was picked up by one of our Seakings on station. I went back to the Radar site and hit it with my remaining rockets taking out the guns on the site but taking a few hits myself as I cleared the area I noticed a flash of silver as a Mig-21 came up to play. Here´s me in a shot up jet and this joker comes up to cause me more problems he was on my six quickly and he fired an Atoll at about 1.5 miles which I evaded with ease I headed down to the deck as usual as some of the damage was causing problems with my control of the jet so low level egress it was the mig followed me down and fired the second Atoll at 1.5 miles again another dodge was done and the missile hit the sea. The mig though carried on closing so I turned into him as fast as I could and fired a quick hope like hell burst at him which connected with his port wing down he went with flames coming out of him. After that I headed for the boat. Landing was to my surprise another good one. Thought what the chiefy of the jet said about me bringing it back all holey and it was now only fit for use on Sundays... said is not exactly printable... My Wingman for the sortie is injured and was flown back to the mainland as he picked up a couple of chunks of metal in his leg doc said he should be fine after a few weeks. And I got promoted to Lieutant.
