indeed as i happen to be a US Army cook (reserve now) and on three deployments have only come close to doing my full job once. my two soldiers got abit closer as they got shipped to supervise locals cooking for our teams out and about. (i asked to go but they didn't want to lose their guy that could get sodas and snacks!) the DOD in its wisdom decided that it was better to have a guy get paid $140,000 a year to supervise 100 foriegn nationals paid 500 a month (600,000 year total for employees 740,000 for the shift a year) rather than use my squad to do the same and incidental our trained for job at approx. 250,000 to 300,000 for the year we were there. yes the idea that we were freed up to pull triggers was nice but only if we were actually used to pull triggers which, we were not.

hmmmm JG 71. anychance some special schemes too?

after reading in here never installed patch C. limited my prop activity to Spits and helos and can still runway start for now. as for the wingmen at landing, well they never behave right anyhow! thank you though DanW for the update.

true, but i think they are looking at fooling insurgents and much lower level militaries that rely more on the eyeball than any sort of optics.

only difference between science fiction and science fact is time, R+D money and willpower

Slammers! although this phanatic has to admit they're getting old, still sad to see the Luftwaffe retiring the last of these Rhinos soon. no one else will likely have the fanfare and definately wont have the artwork the Germans had on their Phantoms

hey F-16 was the Electric Jet, the F-35 can be the Expensive Jet! shall the air force get them some Silent Eagles and F-16I standard Vipers while waiting on the JAST imean JSF i mean X-35 i mean F-35. whew!

hawaii is a decal?!? do you have it in full color? and i asked because of the black letters. on my Phantoms i used Gimp and the color selector to change the white letters and numbers to black for Euro 1 and SEA wraparound. and maybe a little cut and paste for units that don't exist:grin: num's are stock recolored, that particular tailcode is letters rearranged from stock

nice HANG Eagle! is the tailcode skinned on or decal? @ hgbn i'm not the biggest Hun fan myself, but i have liked the Skyblazers ever since an article in a kit model mag featured them. however all your Huns are lookin awesome!

freakin awesome! thank you:drinks:

your best bet will be to ask this in the DAT forum as the mod is from there

damn the Privates seem younger and younger every year

ya addin anything new to your site anytime soon? or are you keeping it more here at CA?

damn and i do enjoy the goods that are there.

to throw my two cents in i would slim it down somewhat but also break it down into the eras, say by decade of release. one generic pack for things like mk 80 series bombs that have been around forever and will stay around for longer then a 50's pack 60's pack etc for the needs of the user. it is how i busted gunnys SF2 pack down on my backup tho due confusion on nomenclature and just plain cross eyedness (did he mention 2000+files?) i had not excluded everything in each set. and for a red nickel to boot change the data ini on the mk 80 series to cut it off pre 1964 (F-47D over tempelhof with mk81?really?)

just use the same direction throughout the ini!

ooooh oooooh Skyblazers, Skyblazers! pleeeease!

there is a skin dressing a F-106 up as one in the Series 1 d/l section but havent heard anything of a full 3D model going

doh! i fell for it wah wah waaaahhhhhh.................................

will there be a Hun skinpack forthcoming?

depends on the target you want to kill, fire one at an airbase and you will kill everything around the airbase except the runway. (note do not use nuke alone if going after a runway) Gunnys weapons packs for SF2 include many of the early series Mk 4,5,6,7 freefall bombs but they are rather strong and not advised for use as is. if you go in the data ini for the weapon and dial the explosive down about ten percent you can use it without dying other wise you will kill everything in ten miles including you and your flight! it will also cause aircraft carriers to be listed as destroyed although they will still appear in the screen(this after a mission where i launched 6 SRAMs at the Kitty Hawk!) for realism they aren't all that great(as it would have taken alot to cross the nuclear threshold) but for fun they are ok to use sometimes. like one mision where i had a B-52G loaded with ALCMs aand provided my own SEAD:grin:

do i sense Iran-Iraq war for SF2 coming soon? awful lotta pics coming outta Gonzo Station lately

all this talk about A-6's i didnt know we were doin write in candidates. in that case how about F-16C? i know i know avionics aren't really in line with whats available and it'll take time money and many bugs but one can dream can't they? we might see it right before Dave gets his pony:lol:

as carl sagan said.......................
