  1. Humpday Heavies

    you want Desert Storm? i'll deliver coast to coast from McGuire in the silver to Travis in the green. and Barksdale in between (well down on the tarmac anywho)
  2. One Last Shot of Whiskey

    https://newatlas.com/military/bell-ah-1w-super-cobra-attack-helicopter-retires-us-marines?fbclid=IwAR0bbEn1DQfcKYdjdnhI4yEyNBC--HYisq_-AcLNEhBVFEfzm16YmwbJ57A HMLA-773 last flight of the AH-1W Super Cobra. all of the ones not at the boneyard have been/will be converted to Z Viper models interesting note: it seems they added the exhaust shrouds to the older birds. can still tell its a W by two blade rotors rather than 4 tho
  3. you all send birds to the paint shop. how many strip the paint off first?
  4. had a question that just couldnt wait for tomorrow what about formation flying is easy. just take baby steps
  5. No More Shark Attacks In Army Basic Training

    because regardless of what party is overall in charge of the government, this isnt Full Metal Jacket in the 1960s or even how life was in the 1990s (where yours truly started thinking his name might be shithead 3 weeks in. Actually got called by my last name after qualifying expert on the range). the Army (and all the branches really) are struggling to get new bodies in the door. so, yeah make it not so intimidating on the front end which is what the 99% that doesnt serve primarily thinks of. meanwhile trust me, all "new Army is weak" comments aside, the drills still have plenty of methods to put some stress on the young recruits. might prep them bettter for the real Army, since that is the slick BS corrective trainings. outside Basic and AIT, you either really have to fuck up or have a dickhead leader to get yelled at. Most NCOs are much much more ....... creative. i always liked the one attributed to some German officer (even though we all know its a false attribution) "The American Army excels at war because war is chaos, and the Americans practice chaos everyday" last part sums up working for Uncle Sam perfectly.
  6. hacked security cam footage: TW developer hard at work on SF2Win10 you guys say woohoo, i thought weee weeee
  7. it would be nice for the Texas and American South west terrains, as well as Cuba. but then you would need to add some narco boats for them to intercept in addition to the missile boats most would have in those terrains
  8. Army's Return To Old Service Uniforms

    from what i hear yes. the actual translation on that is that the folks that work in an office(clerks, higher level command staff) will wear it all the time, the folks that work in a shop (mechanics, cooks) hardly at all and those that have reason to be in a motor pool (damn near everyone else) not very often, but with inspections of the uniforms more often than i like. even more than all the time, i hope they make this mandatory for official travel and public appearances. being on The Price is Right in ACUs is just tacky........... oh and by all the time i mean the Class B version. the full dress As as you have shown will be for travel, inspection, ceremonies or court martials. example of Class Bs below, although i find it hard to believe Dept of the Army actually kept it simple
  9. Humpday Heavies

    90s throwback night "gotta find a way, a better way, id better wait" "Red beans and rice didn't miss her" "DJ Soul was on a roll, I been told he can't be sold" "I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all" "You don't like my point of view, you think that I'm insane" "Too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin" "Call my name through the cream, And I'll hear you scream again" 5000 internet points for getting the main theme, 10000 if you can name all the songs (okay a couple are outside the theme). FB friends, no cheating
  10. not to mention the local Site Serf has done much to keep this website out of legal trouble, i doubt he'd blow that history on being the West Coast Julian Assage anything published by the USG is free use (pubs, pics, audio and video) cant say about other nations. of course all are subject to clearance, like the abouve mentioned F-35 manuals. but pre 1980 on any airframes/non nuclear weapons that have been retired are safe to assume as usable on my own thoughts, this is a good idea, does anyone have access to things like Bunyaps(?) tutorials for bombing. i remember seeing this years ago just cant rememberthe details (Oh Wrench!)but they would make for a good addition to this espescially being WOx/SF2 specific
  11. not quite sure what youre getting at for effects without afterburner. most engine lines (everyone i recall seeing) have an afterburner entry in the ini. related yet probably totally different, to simulate the water injection on the B-52s i made a super dense exhuast effect (as well as long) then set it as the afterburner effect to kick in at 98% thrust within the data ini. probably not what your talking about so could you clarify for inquiring minds what you did? i always thought effects were an ini not model think looks wicked and would be nice as an intermediate between dead engine and afterburners (thinking of most any take off video in existence)
  12. Humpday Heavies

    big lizards basking in the sun after only 7 years i finally got them titles on the doors
  13. do you mean 421st? dont recall any 412th squadron of any type USAF if you did typo, heres the link they were a part of the 388th TFW https://combatace.com/files/file/11773-49th-tfw388th-tfw-f-4ds/
  14. Sukhois

    i'll say this now: dont release in 2020 the way its been going , you release it, it will show on the CA download section about 30 seconds before Snake Plisken hits code 666 (triggering a global EMP and wiping out all technology for those that havent seen the movie)
  15. US B-52 buzzing by two Russian jets

    sadly in the 21st Century the US press would. remember a big to do about a "Russian spy ship" off the east coast waiting on a carrier group that was deploying a year ago. 30 years ago it would be called a trawler, and might not even make the ships news.
  16. Whirlybird Wednesdays

    airfield recce in Iceland boss is gonna be mad if his bird gets hit nice view, but shouldnt we get back on the deck?
  17. SF2 Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation Pack by RussoUK

    Looks good! if you could give RussoUK a nudge on his templates...
  18. oh my, the dreaded 7 engine landing on a serious note, there is a formation ini that can be tweaked. but its a global thing (Soviet Fighter, US Bomber, not MiG-21 or B-52) and not likely the issue here
  19. any chance for a B-43 Jetmaster, given it was one of the mid 40s airframes that became a jet by switching powerplants?
  20. opposite direction iirc, decrease until sits right
  21. dont know if its possible, but could the chute hold for say 30 seconds then collapse on the runway? dragging along behind it of course (ducks and runs)
  22. LilLucy, congrats on being one of the few that changes the game to what you want (otherwise known as modding) rather than asking others for the change. that said.. take the time to look through both the knowledge base and previous threads. theres alot of info from near a decade (yeah i just said it) of SF2 modding and even longer of base Thirdwire modding. there is even possibly the very mods you are looking for buried in threads or Download sections takes time, but is well worth it.
  23. Mustang and nape

    years on your nape match years on Mustang, years in Korea? do the Nations match (ie could nape be USN rather than USAF)? is the weight of the nape lower than the max weight of that wing station?
  24. Kevin, not everyone is a rocket surgeon, and many ask about Centurion-1s projects (this and others). was stating it as I hadnt heard from him since working on the A-37 3-4 years ago. at this point damn the projects, just hope the dudes ok you no wants necro thread, start doin some of that admin shit cause the newbies are postin!
  25. centurion hasnt been around here or FB for a few years unfortunely
