happy birthday man!

when its greyed out does it still list the aircraft,squadron and texture in the loadout? just greyed out so it cannot be changed?

what is your install? example mine is SF2Vietnam/Europe/Isreal/ExpansionPacks1 and 2 merged. depending on what the base aircraft those are and what series you have depends on if they show. nother example, any mods based off of the stock F-4D_78 wont work in a SF2Vietnam only instal because it does not have the needed lod and other files for it to show in game. i do not know what the base aircraft is for those two planes (i personally dont get too many modern what if aircraft) but if it is from a series you don't have installed then it will not show. one other thing to check is that the cockpit ini is being called out right. in the game no cockpit available means no plane to select!

one thing i miss about Pope AIR FORCE BASE! now its Pope Field plus they really haven't had an airshow since the Hogs left a few years ago.

"found this in pappy's old unit book. said it was up playin with AWACS durin' somethin called REFORGER back in th' 80's..." nother one from some place called gielkirchen

no room in the Viper for that! it would have carried a modified GAU-8 in a gunpod and was to take over for the A-10. but after the 1st Gulf War the A-10s future was secure for abit. and F -16s were handling CAS and strike just as well as an A-16 would have. same logic as why the Navy designated it the F/A-18, originally it was to be two planes one fighter and on attack.

ooooh A-16. yaa got the GAU-5 gunpod to go with it? btw use the black lowviz insignia with the Euro1, tho it it had gone operational it prob would have had the same paintjob as a regular F-16. the same way the Hogs went grey in the 90's.

um then try the whole mod instead now that its available http://combatace.com/files/file/12064-post-vietnam-usaf-f-4-phantom-ini-skins-and-decal-mod/

try opening the BMP file fr the skin with a photoshop program. if you dont have a dedicated program open it with Windows Paint. rotate it 180 degrees and save. then see if that works for you.

curious suhsjake where do you go for AT? i went to Bliss in may. that was an... interesting experience however it did get me back in the game. finished a project with Phantoms that had been in the works since 09. whodathunkit.. i did the decals for reserve units from Texas while training in TX!

i'll admit it, damn near pissed myself one time round midnight on Graf, had just passed that sign when MLRS rockets go off right in front of us. mind you i'm in a 5 ton with NODs on and got blinded then blinded again when i snapped the things off! nother time OPFOR Huey simulates Hind attack, and i swear i could see the pilots patch! Tornado's and F model Phantoms were a pretty regular sight too tho i never saw them that low myself.

ahh but in reference to my earlier post Mr Spinners..... what brand sponsors them? sadly with our congresses refusal to export Raptors AND the commander in chiefs insistence that 187 is perfectly enough AND the fact that lees means they cost more.... that might not be what if in 10 years time.

well sheesh and i was kidding about broken glass. if its request hour then with Stary's new tileset we need "convoys" of neutral Mercedes and BMWs, maybe an opel or two as well. to tool along the roads ya know. and some "caution low flying aircraft signs for near Graf and Hohenfels!

now that would be an effect to mod! breakin glass and number of angry phone calls to base in your stats at the end of the mission

however ObjectCat2 and lods will remain unreadable. thats a preventing sticky fingers issue, not an extractor issue.

i tend to get my fill of chicks in uniform (us and other countries) on deployment. curse the luck of alway deploying to airbases and its harder for me to get caught looking by mommyairplanes

come on now thats just silly. the fighters are sponsored by soft drink companies!

@ Ceasar the 102 doesnt have a gun, but the Six does! i forgot that while it is still designed for being a fast genie lobber, it actually handled very well esp in the later years. it was being considered by Gen Agan, head of ADC during Vietnam, to be deployed for escort duty up north! the "bubble" canopy, gunpod and ariel refuel capability are results of his desire to get into the game!

i freakin love Stary's new Germany.....

one thing i like about being on a laptop. it goes with me EVERYWHERE and i watch it like a hawk! cussed my daughter (yes i did) just for swiping a finger over the mouse and bringing it out of sleep while i was gettin lunch ready even. still sorry to hear bout your troubles.

with both the drawdown in American forces after the Gulf War and the reversal of fortunes for Pan American airlines, the DOD decided to subcontract out the operation of the E-3A fleet in 1992. Pan Am had just one stipulation on operated these aircraft....

Ceasar, thought the Voodoo was designed as a long range escort fighter it was a VERY unforgiving plane and liked to spin at too low an airspeed or high an AOA. and with its super high wing loading low airspeed was pretty high and high AOA was pretty low! its main two useful roles were as a one way nuclear bomber and recce bird, both down low and bbblazin fast. and i didn't typo blazin! Recce voodoos even went faster in vietnam than the Phantoms they were supposed to replace. but as a fight i believe its settled on role was actually as a Genie launcher. matter of fact on a side note most of the century series was built for one of two things.. speed or nuclear capability. missile were to make dogfighting obsolete. unfortuneatly Mikoyan didn't get the memo. and then we were needed to work on Saturday....

in ways mankind has learned from the two world wars. in those almost every available weapon hass been used and without any consideration for non combatants. the ultimate weapon has only been used twice, both in Aug 45. since then the thought of crossing the threshold and commiting suicide as a species has limited the vast scope of warfare. however mankind still has an innate aggressiveness that at national levels will lead to some form of conflict. in this day of instant media however the conduct of the warriors is held to closer scrutiny. as aggravating as that is for our soldiers in the current conflicts, it leads to restraint by the forces with greater destructive capacity. in its long convoluted way that is what can be learned from the Great War and WWII.

damn nice Stary. we like it at least... this one is for Spinners. playin with something else when i noticed this would work...

honestly like the man said. i decided to finish my Phantom mod which of course you have to load to see if things are right. once i started doing that i would tak some checks and decide to fly the mission. more underlying than the will to fly in game is everything else in RL going ok?
