  1. arent FE2s lods locked liked SF2s are?
  2. Newbie: Questions

    you my friend haven't dived too deeply into the Downloads section........................... since you have SF2E the question isnt is there a F-104..... its what flavor Zipper would you like?
  3. as to question 2... the available weapons are based on what aircraft you pick selecting the mission, not what aircraft you select in the loadout menu. since Thuds didnt carry Sparrows, Phantoms selected in the loadout menu afterwards would not have them available. if your gonna mix and match like that pick the Phantom first, then incorporate Thuds. the Phantom carried a wider variety of ordinance although you wont have Thud tanks (as Phantoms didnt carry those!)
  4. that sucks. Good luck however with your move!
  5. IIRC, the KC-135E was the only one to use thrust reversers AND used only by the Guard and Reserves. the reason being was many of those pilots also held full time airline jobs and needed minimal training in use of the reversers. not sure if the R's have reversers but know that the A never had them.
  6. If stock the roundel is Insignia. If a mod it could a number of different names.
  7. due to the lack of response one can only conclude a modern exporter is like unicorn farts....... unproven and no one will discuss it

  13. person on the alarm must have just as as sleepy as back then. course i had the fun of going to the Brit dfac same time as one landed a block from my company. the alarm didn't go off until 45 minutes after impact, while me and my joes were still in the brits ao. ask them whats up and they say "f ck if i know mate" and keeps walking. had to deal with a highly pissed 1SG when we got back to our mods. in our defense we really didn't hear it go off...... point 1 that is why i had a roshan phone for most of 2009.. point 2 make any game that detailed and holy shite!!!!!
  14. starting in the late 70s Lockheed and the USAF rebuilt 270 C-141A Starlifters to correct the issue of the aircraft bulking out on cargo before they reached max take off weight...............

  18. you'll need 3 Jimmy Stewart pilots, _WW2, B-47, and B-58...... was looking for an Air & Space article about the Hustler and Jimmy Stewart getting his Mach 2 pin. found the above instead. we now return you to your regularly schedule topic already in progress
  19. my big folder of pics is at home, will send it to you tonight. as i have been able to tell, the white came out around 78-79. the Marines were generally the last to update schemes, but Navy worked to reduce visual signature. around 1980, a low viz grey scheme came out and then the TPS in 81-82, though only two squadrons flew the J in that. yes most pics are from the nam era. wait till you get this folder. broken down by unit, most labeled by year. gathered over the course of a years worth of google image hunting
  20. 1973 VF 11,31,32,33,74,41,84,101,102,103,21,92,96,114,142,143,154,213 USNGrey VMFA 212,232,235,3112,333,451 1975 VF 11,31,33,74,101,102,103,21,92,96,114,191,194,213 USNGrey VMFA 115,122,212,232,235,312,333,451 1977 VF 11,31,33,74,101,102,103,21,151,154,161,191,194 USNGrey VMFA same as above 1978 VF 11,31,33,74,102,103,21,151,154,161 overall gloss gull grey 1979 VF 11,31,33,74,102,103,21,151,154,161 overall gloss VMFA 115,122,212,235,312 gull gray 1980 VF11,31,33,74,102,103 VF 11,31 and 103 were overall gull, the others in a toned down grey scheme with some color but not the TPS VMFA 115,122,212,235 all in overall gull gray 1981 VF31,33,74,102,103 VF 74 and 103 in TPS Phinal Atlantic Fleet Deployment VMFA same as above 1982 VMFA 115,122,312,115 carrier deployment USS Forrestal AA codes all in overall gull grey dont have info on pre 73 due to not being the period i'm usually interested in. i mod for the 70s and 80s when there was the greatest mix of the new and the old. if interested i can pm you my squadronlist ini and breakdown of USN/USMC units to make decalling a little easier. unless you have my F-4Npack then you already have the units in there nice work for today! you posted while i was typing up the above list
  21. Gimme a day or so. Have notes but in a snb note file on my tablet. As you skin only two units that used TPS, and most were in the ovrrall gull gray scheme of the late 70s
  22. Maybe maybe not. Definately not in that scheme initially, and one of the missions of Canada CF-5 force was strategic reserve for Norways NF-5 fleet. But stans to reason if fighter command took a beating the agressor force could have been sent to replenish. That or more F-4Js from the boneyard....
  23. what you didn't go with the most obvious unit for this?
  24. nice. however if your aim is post 1974, you need the DECM antenea on the intakes. found more commonly in photos on the S, that probably is because most J photos that get attn are Vietnam era shots. but the J continued to fly with the Navy until around 82(VF74 and -103 phinal users) and Marines for two years past that (IIRC VMFA-115, did a Forrestal dep in 83 while another squadron was converting to Toms) might also want to talk to Sundowner, i know he has one and i was working a skin pack (Similar to my F-4N pack) for it but thats not even on a burner right this second
