i dont ever recall hearing that the USAF used them quick check USAF Directory (airtime publishing 91) doesnt show any Walleye in list of airborne weapons

pair of suprises to me in this shot although the rain only really stands out against the water...

looking at your pic plus pics of teh regualr (2000lb) HOBOS, i'd say the guidance and steering packages are the same. but the question of was it intended to be used is a REALLY relevant one. main use i can think of late 70s/early 80s would be dropping bridges and closing tunnels in Korea and Germany. like RSR but with Phantoms and bigger boom. meanwhile i was predominantly joking about the HOBOS version. would be cool but i dont think its a desperately missed weapon if you dont pursue it this after thinking of a Hill Reserve F-105 lobbing one in some time around 1983.......

hence my statement it also lists it as a component of a GBU-9 HOBOS (hint hint wink wink nudge nudge)

did anything other than the Thud carry these beasts? are there pics of anything other than Thuds carrying these beasts? and how for the love of God and all that is holy did a 104 carry one of these Wiki?!?!?!

do you not have the latest B28s? or are you telling me they need a Mk 28 version of the series?

you think particlewindfactor values would cause it to drift one side or the other?

you know the main props i like are the 4 on Herks and still....

Good evening everyone I've posted an update to this mod. this was because 1) i discovered a bad decal ini mix up that blanked part of the left side, and two decided that shrinking the fuselage and tail tgas by 25% would keep the detail but really reduce the file size. It is now down to 4.45 GB, down from its original almost 8GB size as before, if you dont intend to fly in a given decade, you can save even more space by deleting those particular folders (60s, 70s or 80s) when you choose to download, there is an ini fix folder for those that downloaded prior to 24 June 2023; a folder of just the resized tgas and the entire mod in the "707" file

View File Skin Pack for TMF Boeing 707-300 TMF Boeing 707-300 Comprehensive Skinpack This mod will replace the individual skins for the TMF 707 and adds my multi airline skins to it, covering the eras from the early 1960s until the late 1980s and will add some eye candy to your parking ramps or make for interesting intercept and escort targets INSTALLATION This is only a skin pack with some additional items. First you will need the original located here: then unzip and add this mod as well. allow overwrites. You can delete the previous skins if you want, as they are represented in the skin pack IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NATIONS.INI, ADD FROM THE GIVEN TEXT FILE. This is for heavily modded installs INCLUDED Decal sets covering most major users from 1959 until 1989 Skins to cover that time period in 9 blocks, with bare metal base skins Nations and Formations ini for the "Airline" nation KNOWN ISSUES Number 1: THIS THING IS BIG! the fuselage tgas are 2048x2048 (working with details over an entire fuselage rather than basic colors and curves) and the biggest sets are representing 32 airlines in their era! So this is not for the small of HDD space Number 2: Due to quirks in the model, and ease for the modder it is not 100% aligned as in RL. the cabin windows are a little lower (which allowed the logos to go one easier), and the curves tend to stop short of the radome. Number 3: this uses the Herc pit to be flyable. I ad it to be able to check the decals, but leave it for those that may want to use it. The pit is a piss poor match however, both with frames blocking and the higher tech than available even into the 80s for civilian birds It is meant as eye candy, not operational missions. Number 4: due to the size of things, some of the lettering is not to legible when you get close to it. Again, eye candy, its meant to be seen from the runway when taking off or on an intercept. If your that close to see "hey it really is fuzzy" you will probably collide. Besides, the thing is huge as is at teh current tga size UNSOLICTED ADVICE I am one of those that likes all encompassing mods. If you have a certain era you would rather focus on, by all means delete the other eras that you don't need. Again this thing is huge, but covers almost every user from 1959 through 1989.

you know, there was an aggressor squadron standing up in PACAF in 1988-89. had that same grey and blue/green pattern and bort numbers on the half dozen birds they recieved but then the cut backs started and they were disestablished before they really got going. bulk of their birds went to Osan iirc speaking of....

View File SLUFs on Guard: A-7D in Air National Guard service 1974-1993 SLUFs on Guard: A-7D in Air National Guard service 1974-1993 This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared in Air National Guard service. This mod includes two "new" A-7 variants based off the stock A-7D_78, mainly for ease of incorporating skins and saving 500MB of space! The A-7D Corsair II (most commonly called the SLUF) first entered service in the Air Guard with the 188th Tactical Fighter Squadron, New Mexico ANG, in early 1974. The SLUF went on to serve with 16 different squadrons of the ANG, 15 of which are presented here (Arizona's 162nd TFS was the schoolhouse and flew predominantly A-7K two seaters). The A-7D finally bowed out of USAF service when the 162d Fighter Squadron, Ohio ANG, retired theirs in early 1993. REQUIREMENTS This mod requires you to have STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 EUROPE for the A-7D_75 and _78 it is based on. You could adapt rename the skins for use with the A-7D found in SF2 or SF2V, but thats 5 files in 60 some skins.

Air Guard SLUFs were more likely to carry basic bomb loads rather than the precision guided toys. and rarely had tanks Credits Nyghtfall, Svetlin AN/AAR-45 LANA skin.

View File Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared with the 4450th Tactical Group in the 1980s. The mod features their special version of the European 1 camo scheme as well as the SEA wraparound they appeared in for about the first year of operation. The 4450th Tactical Group was the first unit to operate the then ultra secret F-117A Nighthawk. In order to maintain a cover other than "Stealth Fighter", the group also operated around a dozen A-7Ds to develop "avionics for the A-7D". They flew the Corsair II from mid 1981 until 1989, after the F-117A program became public a few mnths prior.
