off to do tactical things

never go fulll......... ah nevermind

can you give a hint of what the project might be? best wishes to Compufat for a full recovery.

@Erik @Wrench @Stratos has this file been pulled?

back to the old ways of combat flying: low and lower

gotcha but i dont think they could make that fit on a Vipers tail and be readable other than a few feet away. plus it is a Canadian company providing DACT services to the USAF. so not a crowd thats really that is reading it vs seeing it looks cool, and has the rough message rather than being a PMC version of a Chinese letter tatoo that say "Lunch Special #9"...

what does it say on top of this tail? i have done a round with google translate, and it comes back "experience is important" doesnt quite seem right tho, so i figured i's ask in here

a belated thank you sir some company promo materials i found after your answer has the mantra "Experience Matters", so thats probably what they intended

several of them can already, Draken got in trouble with incidents with live round French AAMs in Florida a couple years back i'm aiming to practice KISS with this, so basic weapons on air to ground. older Winders and AMRAAMs (as thats what we're giving Ukraine anyhow). no gun (to long to reinstall and certify). IAI may or may not help with the mission computers to convert back from aggressor to full combat aircraft but most importantly, experienced pilots. the loss they had so far is widely believed to be a a case of reverting to Soviet style flying in a Western jet. the contractors wouldnt have that issue, and would most likely have several thousand hours each in the jet with only a basic course on teh specifics of this Viper and as i found out the tail says, experience matters

historic legal precedent. while called the "American Volunteer Group" they were legally a Chinese Air Force formation until after America got into the war. an "International Volunteer Group" would also fly in Ukrainian colors, even if not a single pilot was Ukrainian. given the need to get airframes in theater quickest, theyd paint over the US registration, Top Aces and red star markings, but leave it in Israeli camo.

i know that. but they recieved around 6, and already lost one with pilot. and the pipeline wont shoot more in very quickly but what if Top Aces had their DoD and NATO aggressor contracts cancelled, but were immediately awarded contracts to provide training "and other services" to UkAF?

waht if...... for the moment?

The phinal chapter is awaiting approval there one more story to tell for the Photo Phantom, but it is part of a whole wings tale, not just the Phantom. Huge, huge thanks to @Sundowner, i merely asked if teh old aircraft had been updated from Gen 1 to 2 a few months back. instead he let me run wild with a wholly revamped model and many more features than a simple ini edit of the Gen 1 birds would entail.

View File Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm: A TMF Rebuilt project Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm A TMF Rebuilt project This mod represents the phinal years of the Photo Phantom n USAF service. It includes a new RF-4C_91 model that features Sidewinder missile capability. While only a couple dozen RF-4Cs were wired for AIM-9 carriage, they served in the Alabama and Nevada Air National Guards while they did. Therefore, I placed the skins for those units in the _91 model's folder Required a functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model) The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/ (if you already downloaded this then you dont need to do it again) Included 3 RF-4C aircraft folders - RF-4C_85: skins only (12th RS, 173rd RS Nebraska ANG) - RF-4C_91: new aircraft with several Nevada and Alabama skins, and Sidewinder capability. Photo flash bays restricted to one or the other to make room for this capability, but photo flashes were not used as much in the phinal years. - RF-4C_ARN_101: skin (12th RS) and data_ini adjustment (extends years to 1992 from original 1990) 2 decal folders NOTE: most weapons, pilots, effects and sounds are already included in the original Rebuilt set. only AIM-9s for the _91 are included here Credits -The Mirage Factory the very original aircraft (see TMF Readme) -ravenclaw_007 original model, RF-4 pit -Sundowner further modifications to model and pit, effects for new photoflash bombs -daddyairplanes skins, tgas, multiple ini edits, creation of 4 distinct aircraft from one model -guruu sounds -NightshadeP/R testing. Nightshade often shows me my errors in screenshots he's just sharing for fun, while Menrva helps me with the more technical aspects -Sundowner, ravenclaw_007, yakarov79 and daddyairplanes templates are a mix of layers as contributed by these four. compiled in current form by daddyairplanes Special Thanks * to Sundowner for supporting this project. He was kind enough to hand me this ball and let me run with it and even make additional features as I requested them * to ET Brown, Gary Chambers and other members of the 106th Tac Recon Squadron page on Facebook. These Alabama Air Guardsmen veterans helped greatly and the "106th RS 94" skin features the crew chiefs on the nose just as the real aircraft had in the final 6 months. About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009. But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago. The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him. On behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it. thank you for downloading this mod, i hope you enjoy phlying it as much as i did creating it Kevin Unruh aka daddyairplanes 4 Oct 2024 ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

as has been mentioned elsewheres, the current crew of YAP_RW isnt charging, tries hard to give credit where due and will remove stuff if you should ask them to do so the current YAP site (not RW) does mention several prominent modders from here (including you Gepard) and also has a cute little blurb on the bottom about "many files form the internet" and "credit to those that made it, apologies if we missed you". But the RW team works hard to play by the civilized rules of the modding game, despite their original material

Diamondbacks on deck i see, but i prefer my fighter squadrons to be World Famous we got their whole squadron of Badgers. but they got two of our escorts...

Dassault/Dornier anti ship cruise system, 2019 colorized

check ODS30AE if you havent already. it would be the top end for how this sim can be modded using practically all the tricks discovered to date (and invented a couple in the process iirc) beyond that, enjoy the variety. theres biplanes to Chinese stealth and most of whats in between here, an many parts of the globe to fly em in
