    Oh my framerate!! Great work ravenclaw_007. You're clearly a perfectionist, so... Check the spelling in the Mk.82_AIR stenciling on the bomb itself. Not that it would lessen the effect of dropping them on any Gomer's heads, but now I can't un-see it

    Whether you like it or not, Yubba has put a lot of time & effort into his mods, then also taken the trouble to share his results. Using his radar edits you can emulate a radar bombing system somewhat accurately, although you still need to be accurate with your flight profile. I don't agree with putting HUD's in 1960's-70's era planes but given the lack of any controllable bombing computer function in this game then a CCIP pipper is the next best thing. If (like me) you use it realistically, i.e. keeping the pipper in the combining glass, even CCIP demands you are disciplined enough to fly a correct dive bombing profile. But after 15 years of practice I can usually get results using the principles in the SimHQ article, provided I have the luxury of time to set-up properly. Which is pretty realistic, in terms of the best results fighter jocks of the day were getting.

    For the Vietnam-era F-111's, low & and fast gets the job done. Try 650 KIAS, 600 ft AGL, drop when the target is in the bottom of the bombsight outer ring .

    I can check later when I'm home but I'm sure my UK box set has that extra episode too

    Thread resurrection alert!! I'm having plenty of fun in "The Green Hell" but I can't ignore the fact that SF2's F4E doesn't do this, and I'm now really tempted. Tacpack has come a long way, there are now many great planes using it's features. There's now SA-2's that can kill you, and you can weasel them back. Sadly still no sign of any AI air combat opponents but I don't go looking for trouble at 20000ft regularly anyway, as I prefer ground-pounding. And that VRS Superbug is what Jane's F-18 could have become, so I'm probably getting that too.

    I am most definitely a player of older games. SF2, ArmA2 Day-Z, Battlefield2, Falcon4.0 BMS. But they all are far from dead.

    I find most bombsights are set too high by default. At ~500ft AGL, 450 knots & release when the target disappears under the nose with a string of bombs should get you on target. That's still one of the best mods ever for the Thud, Yubba. Cue the trolling "It's not realistic" replies...

    Yes, now much easier to distinguish custom installs. Thanks muchly. No F-111 though

    I thought it might be a Windows update issue, having lots more CTD's with SF2 now and I'm still on Radeon 15.something on account of my card being so old (HD5800). I'm actually doing a fresh install of SF2 at the moment. It took a lot of effort to click 'delete' on my NF5

    During a recent sortie over Basra, I got target-fixated and fragged myself with a CBU-58. Apart from the visible damage, I lost the autopilot so had to limp 140 miles back to KK! I think owe the Crew Chief a case of beer

    It's not a huge amount of money and you do get a lot of content, also the flight models are very different from LOMAC. I'd say it's worth a punt.
  13. Platinum Rogue
    I wonder what the G-limit is on that ;)
  14. Platinum Rogue
    Yes, the top of this thread. It wasn't working previously. I see you've updated the file again and now the link works. I am a happy mudhen driver
  15. Platinum Rogue
    Thanks Viper, I have been able to download V1.1 from the downloads section, however, the link in this thread's original post still doesn't work.
  16. Platinum Rogue
    Download linky not worky...

    OK, this finally got updated.I hope it fixes the 'un-ending campaign' issue I've always had with this mod. Thanks for the update. Now, 1 question. I have previously installed "DS_TEXTURES_NEW.rar". With the most recent version of the mod, do I still need this?

    Some fine detail in there, it reminds me of a 1:48th model F4C I made with the stencilling as individual decals, it took 2 days to put them all on.

    I know the feeling, I'm moving to a SSD soon, my main HDD is 4 years old now. Take your time, I have on-going campaigns in several installs.

    A little update for this thread: My campaign as a strike-eagle pilot ended on the second day, going gunzo with AAA I got shot in the face. I resurrected myself as a Marine Hornet pilot. The date in the campaign is now March 3rd and there are still missions being tasked. The polar opposite to my problem I had using the Tornado. I still have no successfully completed campaigns in my pilot record How far off is the updated version, Eburger?
  22. Platinum Rogue
    The layout seems logical, where the 'top-shelf' is guaranteed to blow your head off, then becoming less dangerous as you look lower down
  23. Platinum Rogue
    You should make the effort to visit Cosford, the cold war display is definitely worth the visit.
  24. Platinum Rogue
    Might this be an 'aircraft in-service' year issue?
  25. Platinum Rogue
    No problem, I've already started a new campaign, this time flying the F15E. I still consider that I've won the Tornado campaign though, and I'd like to edit my pilot record to reflect this. Where do I find the filed I need to edit?
