  1. second of two Falcons... but a Zipper got me 30 seconds later
  2. well the USAF is building new secure ammo bunkers for them at Hill theyre getting the type of attention nukes get so yeah, i think itll be awhile before we know much.
  3. been workin on these too long if i could spot that thats the old ODS version just by unit patch and the shadow of the non existant RWR on the fin but who keepin track really? meanwhile, splash two. unarmed unafraid my @$$!
  4. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/lrew.htm https://www.airandspaceforces.com/Air-Force-Developing-AMRAAM-Replacement-to-Counter-China/ and i heard nose thrusters (rockets) and similar dimensions to integrate into the 22 and 35s weapons bays. as well as a flight profile like the retired Phoenix (rapid acceleration to max speed, rapid climb to max altitude, then downhill coasting to target) bigger diameter and fins (even folding) would affect its ability to fit into the comparitively tight weps bays
  5. uh uh, nope. i seen that guy around throw him a template, let him make his own
  6. do you think the decoy work could tranfer over to drogue refueling hoses? it would be cool to see them flutter a little bit rather than look like a hard attachment to the pod or boom
  7. Nebraska ANG RF-4C.7z

    i had to post a corrected version of this mod, when i was packaging it i made a last minute tweak and pulled all the RF-4C_85 related files, and the whole decal folder to replace. the corrected version is uploaded waiting approval (midday 27 Aug) to the 26 who have downloaded so far: under the circumstances, it is best to reload the whole mod over and allow overwrites for the Wrap skin in the RF-4C_75 aircraft. my apologies to everyone who got the bad copies of this mod
  8. Nebraska ANG RF-4C.7z

    yes they were along with the decals. i had made a last minute change, deleting the old batch and completely forgetting to add them back in thank you for catching it new version uploaded, hopefully should be approved no later than dinner time tonight. my apologies for the mix up
  9. hey guys, i found their resupply convoy!!!!!!
  10. gotcha plans to do Alconbury birds with the Gull Gray, or keeping it fairly generic? they were the biggest users of Gull Gray by observation as i've gone through this project also check the RF pm sir

View File MN and CA ANG RF-4C.7z Part Time Photos Chapter 4: RF-4C Phantom in the California and Minnesota ANG A TMF Rebuilt skin pack This skinpack brings the Photo Phantoms of California's 196th Tactical Reconnaisance Squadron and Minnesota's 179th Tactical Reconnaisance Squadron into the game. Both units were short time Photo Phantom operators, the 196th only served for three years (1990-1993) in the Hill Grey scehme, while the 179th serve for 7 years (1976-1983) in the South East Asia scheme and the Wraparound schemes. 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/ Included Skins for two different aircraft models, Decals for those skins Installation Unzip file, add Objects folder to desired mod folder. there should be no overwrites with this pack ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** NOTE!!

  13. I am wrapping up my work on the Photo Phantom in the next few weeks. theres but one state left for Guard units, and i have a slew of post Desert Storm skins to bundle. i put in alot of work this summer for what was intended to be 2 skins tops for one TAC wing! that said, i am not doing anything with Vietnam era skins. there are still new models available for both the original RF-4s as well as the ARN-92 ("towel rack") versions. but i wont be releasing them into the wild unfinished i also will not be releasing the templates publicly. the one i currently work with is a mash up from four different modders in here, and i think it most respectful to not release that into the wild either. that said, anyone with a genuine interest in bringing the early versions to digital life is welcome to PM me. an established modder/skinner would be preferred but i would be willing to mentor someone new to this if youre willing to listen and learn (and potentially get alot of forest whitaker eye through the screen). the models are ready, the data ini's 95% ready. just needs to be skinned and tweeked for the members of the group chat on this, if you'd rather it hold off (or if im being obnoxious posting this) let me know in there and i will adjust accordingly This bird still has alot of stories to be told. but the stories i was interested in telling start after 1975, and im just about done telling them. hopefully somebody is willing to tackle the SEA camo and Gull Gray times
  14. in 1988, CINC TAC directed the USAF Thunderbirds to execute their congressional mandate to be able to revert to combat status within 72 hours. the Thunderbird maintainers were able to execute everything except repainting in the usual grey colors within the timeframe. a series of sorties was then run to demonstrate the aircraft was in fact combat ready. the aircraft used was unofficially named Warbird, after some unknown soul wrote that in the dirt from teh gun gasses (better than "wash me!") or as someone commented in a present day article, " imagine the inbound JDAM being preceded by a four ship diamond burst!"
