you werent the only one

yes, downloads are by subscription now

Texas Humpbacks. i think this was like, my very second mod ever...... needs a tune up

i'll put it in simpler terms. a loaf of bread cost me 47 cents pre pandemic. today, if i go to one store thats way out of my way its 99 cents. otherwise the exact same generic store brand that was $0.47 has stabilzed at $1.48 $400 grocery budget used to get a couple of nice home cook meals, one dine out and one fast food meal and then 3 weeks regular home cook meals for a family of 4. Now we only dine out anything if we get a special from T-mobile and any nice meals (Bdays, Thanksgiving, Easter etc) need extra money in the food budget. your average American is seemingly way richer than 75% of the rest of the globe. but we also pay way the hell more for almost everything than the rest of the world. so we yankees actually do feel financial stress too

is there a pack of American every other week option? need me to hook up a decal pack for ya?

that is true can you telll me how many of those are on the internet via computer and modem, let alone flight simming on non basic computers? my point on finances is that if you have the capability to play this game of ours, and to come to this website, you probably arent poverty stricken nor living off of a few USD equivelant a day

so everyone bitchin about it, pulling the income card, pulling the exchange rate card, answer me this: where are we going to read you bitch at when combatace.com goes 404? where will you be gathering to say what should have been done when the lights go down? you all seem to be the experts, so this would be useful to share

you know what, ffs .... Erik, just start askin em what ice is......

so let me get this straight youre going to remove a program you already own because you cant download new content to your hearts content? a program that you could modify on your own to your hearts content? and are annnouncing this on your computer while complaining about a price that is the cost of an average fast food/street vendor meal (hell just large coffee or tea in some countries)? well maybe you should. if moneys that damn tight you should probably be working more, simming less. energy to run a sim capable computer is quite alot in other countries too

that is true but it is also on the less likely end of probabilty its like the old Columbia House CD scam in the 90s. get your 5 (or 7 or 10 or whatever) CDs for just 1 penny mailed in with the order form. then buy 3 more at regular price. Except people didnt buy three at regular price. they used a different variation of their name and ordered another 5 CDs for a penny. up until they required a credit card to do the transaction (so they could charge you for the 3 full price cds) thieves and pirates are less likely to use credit cards (even stolen ones) to bootleg non studio release software than they are to grab what they can for free.

you are one of several. in this forum and other places and by contributing member, i mean official. i am aware of your contributions on other mods. but officially you are a "valued member". which i believe means you dont lurk but youre not very active (as you yourself say in your last paragraph)

i have a blunter version pay a cover charge to get access to thousands of mods and Combatace goes on for another few years. or consider it a streaming service if you like or go back to free for all and it shuts down in 6 months ----------------------------------------- having free access sure has brought some new names out the wood work. welcome several old time names complaining in here that suprise me though, both in their complaints and that they are not some form of contributing member (modder, moderator admin). really some names have been around long enough i thought they were but i do know that many of the names that have suprised me have been around long enough to have gotten most of what they want from CA, and to make most of their own changes too (minus models and terrains) if having to take a step in fighting a losing battle with bills means "goodbye SF2" (a general quote not specific one), well then have fun with that. ---------------------------------------------- back to teh original rant of mine, times change. circumstances change. rarely for the better i used to be able to watch sports on network television. now i have to pay alot for cable to catch all games broadcast over the week or a little to a streaming service to catch the few on that service each week (hoping my teams are heavy on teh rotation for that channel) or go without TW didnt do this, he's been pissin us off since Jul of 13 (the last patch for SF2) and has nothing to do with this site. Erik's just trying to keep this thing going and reign in a problem thats part of the growing expenses.

View File Creek Klaxon '86: Air National Guard Deployment to Ramstein AB 1986 Creek Klaxon '86: Air National Guard Deployment to Ramstein AB 1986 This mod is a simple skin and decal set to represent Creek Klazon; an ANG deployment from April 1986 through March 1987 while the resident 86th Tactical Fighter Wing was transitioning from the F-4E to the F-16C Block 25. Crews from many ANG squadrons rotated out over the course of the year, while three units sent three aircraft each to support the Zulu Alert interception mission. These airframes came from California's 194th FIS, Minnesota's 179th FIS and North Dakota's 178th FIS, all with air defense missions in the United States and all donating F-4D aircraft in the colorful Air Defense Gray paint scheme. Also included in this mod is terrain mods to allow pairs take offs at Ramsein AB, and a mod to plug into NATO Fighters 5 so that you can fly the 1986 campaign with this unit (they were historically there during the timeframe) Included skins and decals for the stock F-4D new load and hangar screens for same terrain mods to allow pairs take offs at Ramstein AB (Rends terrain and stock GermanyCE) campaign and terrain mods to add a Creek Klaxon campaign in NF5 Required SF2 Europe for use of terrain or NF5 mods and F-4D_78 aircraft Installation Basic aircraft: add contents of "2 mod folder" to your preferred instal. allow overwrites Pair take off: add contents of "add to stock GermanyCE terrain" to your preferred instal's terrain folder. similar if you are using Rends Germany terrain. allow overwrites NF5: add contents of "2 mod folder" and "add to NF5 instal" to your NF5 instal. allow overwrites Credits Thirdwire original F-4D_78 aircraft cSomers611 hangar screen, much research assistance cSomers611, nightshadeP/R, Stratos test team daddyairplanes skin and tga work, basic research into topic(that lead to desire to do it I hope you enjoy flying this mod as much as i did creating it Kevin unruh aka daddyairplanes 31 Dec 2024 ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.
