what took you so long aces? on a serious note, how long were the Hellenic Hercs in SEA camo? i would imagine they are grey like everyone else now im suprised they are still in SEA in the 21st century

Agreed, that 7.33 figure sounds like a brochure, dont exceed this or else, number. Slight bit above, mechanics are bustin their humps and the pilot is at attention in front of his CO finding out what "or else" means. Signifigantly higher (and in USAF Zipper models i think that would be 10G) best case is the plane is a write off. Worst case is a funeral and round of training for the other pilots

will that be a prelude to the ANG N users? mandatory screenie

look for The Beast. from '88, about a Soviet tank crew cut off from the rest of their unit.

i would have to say the book RM, not so much the movie.......

nice skins and nice to see ya back angelp

just inventory the survival kit for us CL.....

"Mr President, we'll do better next time..." great end scene when the E-4 turns just enough to allow Looking Glass to stop the war

had too....

still WIP, but it is the same skin for those with better eyesight, this mod brought to you by Donna Summers.... or the ANG comes out to play

yes i did. i've read many posts where it was "whats taking so long" or "would you do this?" and that was how i took it. my apologies sir @yakarov79, i thought i saw angelp working on some a long time back. i thought (as Wrench might have too) you had taken those over.would be great for ODS and later conflicts, but as i said earlier its on the modder's schedule not the customers! and did you say Wessex? (rubs hands and smiles at thought of another DAT bird independantly developed for here)

rather impatient answer there. If you can make your own, do so. if you cant wait patiently. also remember that the work of others is dependent on THEIR interest and real life schedule, not what WE may want.

yo Allen, i heard you like refuelers dawg....... so i got you a refueler refueling a refueler! (btw it is damn hard to keep formation in a jumbo!)

well the new generation of Americans seems to be scared of a cuss word, us old vets on here.....

under two years is highly unusual. what brand was it?

a few pennies thrown in... dunno what your talking about no regard for pilots as far as the USN. the A-7 had some of the most reliable engines of their era, and A-4 was designed so small it didnt need to fold wings on the flight deck (kinda hard to do that on a twin jet platform). so far of the three types the C model F-35 is the best of the batch. it has consistently met or exceeded test goals. but you have to scour for that nugget of info because the A model not being able to shoot a gun for a few more years or B model's questionable IOC sell more headlines than the C model doing well. as to Canada's needs, for homeland defense the Super Bug is in fact better. more stations equals more gas, more weapons if needed and you dont need to sneak around your home turf. Now, if Canada wants to play to global game with the US in the future as an equal partner*, then you might either get some Growlers as well (we are stupidly sacrificing EW for stealth) or some other airframe to fill a niche we are neglecting or get some F-35s to play along on day one. But a squadron with dedicated attack mission should suffice, with much support from the US branch flying the same model. I would suggest the C if you are concerned about reliability. If you were to get teh A model, call it the CA-135 just to needle the USAF figher mafia. over all i think the F-35 will work out once we figure out what to do with them. the last "designed" jack of all trades couldnt find enough thrust in all of Christendom to be a naval fighter. but it went on to be the best deep strike aircraft for around two decades and with some ingenuity even managed CAS ok (tank plinking anyone?). but enough about the F-111, back to teh F-35. as a day one door kicker and day three quarterback i think it will be a game changer (much like how the F-22s are being used). down in the mud supporting the joes? well, only the Marines seem fully willing to do that where a $0.50 round might take down a (however many this week) millions dollars aircraft. the more important thing will be training and tactics to deal with current and hypothetical threats and not fully believing teh hype of stealth. * sorry to the Canadians here but you all dont seem to get around as much as teh US or UK; and while i've seen you guys in Iraq and Afghanistan I dont recall you helping the Queen since the Second World War. to be honest i dont recall any Canadian led interventions anywhere. Which probably isnt a bad thing as the "great" powers tend to screw that up abit.

well just more and more similarities tho on a smaller scale

Ship was scrapped in Greece after a few sales and name changes iirc. given he was built to haul fuel barges, i would imagine Russia has replacements given how big oil and LNG sales to Europe are to their economy....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGzPKnH2sk8 Soooooo..... has anyone checked the RT broadcast schedule for any showing s of Alexander Nevsky?

more asstd jumbos, almost like a trip to SeaWorld....

looking good for someone who said they had no skills! you may want to consider changing the insignia to tga as well so it looks closer (as in better) to the unit markings. also may need to play with the placement of the decal in the ini some, not quite how sure but the tail doesnt feel quite right. keep at it, the end results are generally quite satisfying!

very true. it's why i say "semi historically accurate"! you can get a few right with photos. the rest...........

ok to clarify abit whats your willingness to learn those programs? having learned both (PS in a classroom, GIMP on my own) i would say that Phostoshop is easier, but GIMP is free and has over 80% of the features of PS (over 95% for modding uses). to get someone else to make it requires their time and interest, but this community is generally willing to assist new modders. i suggest reading through the knowledge bases for Wings over Series and SF2 before proceeding. personally i dont think decalling is very hard at all, and i got into it because i wanted post Vietnam markings for Phantoms. it is abit tricky at first like pretty much any new human endeavor. as to which serial to which unit, google search helps some. what you cant tie to a specific unit, add in a batch of the other historical serials. if you proceed let me know, will shoot you a font for the serials.

hows your skills with Gimp or Photoshop? simplest would be to have a black skin and add the relevant serials and unit markings

your Boeing is further along than mine. wont stop from asking if it will come it bare metal tho..... some ANG guys that tagged along and the CRAF contract for the rest of the gang to come along all same airfield rather cool i think
