well interesting turn of events. She's evidently in the news because of the fact that she wouldn't be interested in any of the gents here. or there or anywhere for that matter. although why do the pretty lesbians always have a girlfriend that looks like a man? pron lied to us.......

Enjoyable show. Saw them at Pope AFB open house backnwhen the Hogs were still stationed there. All performers cruised ovrr military housing on Bragg during the practices Thurs and Fri of that week, although the Hogs came in the lowest!

preciate the update Ceasar. knew you weren't gone, but just hadnt heard much outta you. of course Uncle Sam has the tendency to keep one VERY busy or Very bored. notice more capitals on the very for busy. as for the nose stripes, are you doing them on the skin or as tga? if tga, i've danced it around the Phantom's schnoz before, could take a look at it for the Tomcat. for ALCON, would a Herc escape and evade count in here? think i remember about a crew in Vietnam that got a manuever kill after getting chased up North thru the mountains.

Very nice, and an excellent backstory

Caesar! (To the tune of everyone yelling Norm) What have you been upto since you got back to CONUS? Thats when you seem to have tapered off the posts and mods

both are still around here, but fairly active with other things now. EricJ esp shifted his attn over to ArmA and internet cats lately. but agreed they were some great reads when this thread started

well if our resident Polish meteorologist can get back to work, then i suppose i really should get off my butt and release this...

as i recall, the middle scheme served as a basis for the Mod Eagle. from Aerofax's book on the Eagle, had it years (and many moves) ago

the second Gerald Ford class is supposed to be named Enterprise.

too my knowledge, one did, along with two others in other schemes. they were used to choose the final scheme for the Strike Eagle.

Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

Yes it did double post. Stupid tablet, but it's what i get for posting at school. And no comments about equipment only as smart as the operator thak you! XD

Well the main aspect of the -14 and -15 was to kill em at a distance. Tech and doctrine had caught up to make bvr a reality, not a pipedream like vietnam. A quote by an eagle driver i recall went something to the tune of "sure i can beat anyone in a phonebooth. But if we let them grt that close somebody seriously f ked up..." Modification of the request for a historically plausible scenario...... F-14A v Multiple Mig-17/21. VF-1 and -2 were on westpac snd on Dixie Station during April 1975. While the CAP was not hassled IRL........

bigstone, here is a reference that may help you with the vietnam airwings. it has helped me match up everything for BEELINE Phantoms (N and S). but it goes for the whole fleet from the current systems intro in 1961 until around 1994. eburger, i didn't mean any offense. we just have a difference of opinions on how to skin that particular cat. and while skins size is actually pretty low, the decal folders pad the size back up quite abit. and i've seen the fun of maintaining just with my little mods, i can only imagine the fun you have with the big installs

could look at Mescalero Range terrain or Piecemeal's Desert terrains. they have parked Herks and Chinooks on there, the hercs as airfield targets. to throw out a future question, anyway to get the engine to pop one specific nation in a specific parking spot (say airliners)? some possibilities in the future where i might have need of parking jumbos at civilian airports in Germany and Dhimar......

Keep the era in mind also. Towards the mid 60s up some of those nat metal finishes were painted silver laquer for corrosion control. Thuds come to mind, many Starlifters got it after regular flights to Vietnam, and even the F-102 had a one off in silver paint st Ogden. To all others, i also thank you for the tips. Said Starlifter is in my todo pile, as well as wanting to make some nat metal airliner skins (Eastern, American and Condor) Keep the era in mind also.

Way that i handled a similar issue with the F-4N encompassed several of the above techniques. I made a universal skin (bitmaps and jpegs in the main aircraft foldr rather than skin folder), then made skins for the units and years. But those folders mostly are just texture and decal ini. Also as above i have a very expanded squadronlist.ini to incorporate all units. If you have the DLC F-4N take a look at the skinset for it. Otherwise take a look at the updated Storm F-4N in the d/l section. Either will show what i'm talking about for the aircraft end. Would be awesome if you're thinking bout workin more units into game, esp the Nam era birds. My interest tends more to post Nam although the "correct for one deployment" markings bug me there too. Eric, the multiple skin bit fixes the many entries for one unit. But there are several units missing in the stock squadronlist as well (tho not as many missing in mine)

Nightwatch

Best rollercoaster ride you don't have to pay for. Landings at Skopje, Balad AB and Kandahar Airfield using the Sarajevo drop. Several hundred feet altitude in seconds, then your stomach catches up with you a few seconds after landing.

thank you FRPignon. this fills a big gap in my SF world. Final cruise of the Rosie, the Harrier already left for the Photo op with the Bear....

FRP...... a million thank you's! while carriers are about hte most proliferate ships in the download section, a free Midway class has been sorely missing from here. looking forward to the release. gotta get the rest of the airwing set for Rosie's last cruise now (F-4Ns are already skinned for that)

For reading you say....... go Android and dl Kindle and a mobi and epub reader. Love my Galaxy Note even if its 2 yr old now, and still subs s for a most of the time when posting. The Snote app is great too for those of us who still like handwriting. Can lose that peice of paper easy, wont lose a couple hundred dollar electronic device (one hopes).

um yes most defineatly since Gen 2 series is made for Vista and above. IMHO get Win7 if at all possible but that is more not personally liking to deal with 8. i know some will chime in agreeing on that and some will strongly disagree. back to main point..... yes it will work better.

No time for fun. Ive got airliners to put out and you need to get back to work on a Super Tweet Jk of course. Stupid phone would show the smiley on the post grrrrrrr
