little plane make big boom

ran through both while doing ANG D and Fs. and hopin to do some more over the summer with OA-37s, OV-10s and 0-2s (notice a pattern ) i will say the best use for Baughers site is to both determine write off dates for those that crashed, and AMARC dates. if you line up when a unit swapped jets against when a bunch of planes arrive in the boneyard, you can get good handle on who had which serial

i throw them in, but for ANG sqns i usually comment them out. if the end user wants to make that default, proper cursor placement and two clicks will have them on their way. but thats just me lookin good so far. would darken the tail stripe on the SEA scheme a little or boost teh opacity of the decal (or skin layer) just a little. SEA schemes can be a pain for stripes. too lite or low opacity and youre see through. too dark or high and it looks like a sticker from a kids coloring book. takes time to master, and i still dont consider myself to have mastered it edit after reading a little more.. are you trying to do the red nose through skin or decal?

you mean the FB-111H? https://www.twz.com/38621/this-stretched-super-fb-111-was-a-low-cost-challenger-to-the-b-1-bomber mightve been, but i do like the Bone better.....

sorry to hear you leaving modding, but when you lose the interest in something there's no forcing it back i can understand the landscape changing. but do hope you'll check in from time to time on the neighbors you've known over the years

fighters make movies, bombers make history

ok, at first it was cool but every single time i load up the Eastern Med in my naval install, it looks like i'm about to sail back in time to 6 Dec 1941......

Bolter!

as heard on Antennae Bayerne....

for a very late reply, it reminded me of an episode of Person of Interest. the one where Samaritan goes live iirc meanwhile, gotta wrap things up for spring

thats what you get for simming naval aviation all this time Hell, when MG Bond crashed the MiG-23 in 1983, its now believed the AF gave up the aircraft type so readily so that reporters wouldnt dig and find the big secret in the desert at that time, the F-117

you know, those are JAMMER pods, to play with electronics. not HAMMER pod to literally whack the bad guys with this....... is generally the right hammer for the job

the things i have to do for math homework no really ok so it was for a "name an application of " page in Powerpoint. but still, who else here is puttin screenies in powerpoints?

its a Vietnam air war game at its heart the North Vietnamese didnt have radar missiles on their fighters (that i recall). and TK didnt make the MiGs player flyable therefore, no need for him to code in Fox 1 or 3 warnings and rwr tones. if they fire a heat seeker, theyre close enough for the wingman (and you) to see the smoke trail anything we do have is due to modders and workarounds me, i just keep it low and fast. just like AirLand Battle intended. Radar missiles cant hit you if the ground is the bigger more inviting target

that much is awesome i didnt think you were about to release a two hole Block 10 anytime soon , but the jump from where you were to active research was startling without the updates. but still a happy surprise way i think of things, the urge to do other stuff than the basic care/recovery is a damn good sign. life's too short to stick to just the survival stuff...

ok, so what the update? we gotchya posting elsewhere (which is very good), but i figured id ask how youre doing in this thread rather than derail the other one

oh that just hurts my widdle heart... fast forward to Block 30 action... gun kill al Fresco.... and a second. the other three ran away.....

i thought the answer to the Sabre Dog wound up being making it a gun with FFAR bullets. but that would match the accuracy of that system, vs laser guided rockets now i would think i also thought there was a rocket pod/fuel tank in one of the Mirage DLCs, making what you did a little easier to work all the same, cheers on making an AMRAAM triple launch rail

well, triple AAM launch rails arent really a thing IRL, so i doubt anyone's really worked on them in game. HOWEVER.... using APKWS (laser guided Zuni rockets) against drones has very much become a thing. you hang three pods of 7 rockets under each wing, and suddenly have the potential to take out 42 drones (plus however many AAMs and gun ammo you got) there is no laser guided AAMs. but the weapon guruus could think up a way to mount 42 IRMs on a rocketpod "pylon"

Black Aces High(ish)

Florida Makos; the only Charlies in the Reserves

could it be something from when IAI upgraded Turkish Phantoms in the late 90s? thought i had when you mentions Israeli and late Turkish birds...

before they had NVGs, Hog pilots had other ways to navigate at night the game tried loading Mk46 torpedoes intially for some reason. wonder if this secondary target was that reason.....

So, many of us old heads/regular contributors are ranking up and either "Proficient" or "Experienced". Sometime this year, somebody will become "Grand Master" When that happens, do we get to pick our full title? if so, i'm calling dibs on Grand Master Flash

or alternately, i thought he was creating a first posts thread. 1st for 2 of required to be able to download some of the new member posts are interesting, but its vastly better than "wHy cAn'T I DownLOad?" was I will agree that the lead post here is a little hard to follow
