actually primary reason was that the B and therefore the N handles better fying off the Midway class carriers. Roosevelt being a prime example (VF84, VF41). the B's were alot more tired with the production run having wraped up around 65 or 66. but what Mako says is true bout war being bad on equipment, thats why Project Beeline came about. bit of trivia, the Marines actually flew B models (not upgraded Ns, straight B) until 1978, and J's until the early 80s. back to the original answer if you check who went from J to N, betcha they either flew off the Midway, Coral Sea or FD Roosevelt ooooorrrrrr they were a Marine unit and the Navy took their Js away!!!

well their legacy Bugs are getting long in the tooth so they prob need something sooner than later anyhow

picked up the Dec 2012 copy today only to read in the front they won't be selling print magazines anymore. Getting a months old copy of this mag made my last three deployments more tolerable so kinda bummed to see it go. guessing it will still be available online for awhile tho. now i gotta double down on efforts to find another copy of the Oct 2009 issue...........

probably for reasons such as your screenie. if made it would need 1000% effective ECM, chaff and flares like the B-52 pack has, and Genies reworked with Amraam radar/guidance package to take care of those kids on the naughty list tryin to get a guns kill on ol Saint Nick! thrust vectoring for the reindeer would be nice too.

oh i will defineatly make use of this. not so good for USAF Phantoms, but will be great for Naval Phantoms. just laying out folders for prep work i have at least 8 variations of USNGrey per Aircraft and 7 of those! times 15MB per skin and i feel yer pain WBS.

agreed with the Super Bug. as for capabilities, when is the last time the Canadians went somewhere without the US? although its a ding to the national pride, two engines plus range makes more sense for the air soveriegnty mission with their territory, plus the coalitions they will likely be a part of overseas will see US stealth kick in the door so to speak on day one, with the Canucks following behind once the most dangerous EADS are down. seems to be the trend last few wars anyhow, why not tailor the budget to that fact?

looks great! are you thinking of doing a G also in the near future?

theres an International Airpower Review article on them also with lots of good pics of the family models. tho Wrench's will have the 3 views you might need and i dont have IAPR on digits.....

Vipers with Phoenixes?!?!?!?!?!? well most anything is poss with ini editing....................... defineatly need a screenie of that!

Spinners you feeling ok? quite a few real planes from you lately keep me in check with rule #1, tho i thought rule 1 was "there is no screenshot thread."

being so similar to the SF2 series it should work.

so if i understand this right, i could take one USN/USMCGrey for F-4's, then just have the different textureset (to establish usn67, usn 70 etc) and decal inis in what would be the usual skin folder? if so that would be hyper sweet for my naval Phantoms i assume a drastically diff skin like TPS would still be all in the skin folder under these circumstances

i often wonder if wingmen turn on their jammers when i do. rather doubtful given the usual results..........

hope she got turned into a museum ship after all that rather than scrapped. nice job!

hmmmm that would take the useful life of Navy SPADs to i think round 68 or 69. last missions flown were by EA-1Fs though the USAF, VNAF used theirs a few more years. gotta look up my book when i get home to be sure though

if i read it right its just the controller and some other computer controling. still why teach how to use a real tank when you can just use your Call of Duty thumb skills!

http://news.yahoo.com/syrian-rebels-now-tank-powered-playstation-controller-020228394.html in the proudest traditions of militaries from every place and time, their making it up as they go along........

me thinks YB-35 for the other that willl be looked at. or its jet YRB-49 version

always figured the Kingdom to get their kit from the Brits until around the late 50s. looks good!

cue the Airplane quotes. @ Wrench.......... whatcha doin?

well for usefulness i would point to the C-130, E-3 prior to NA, etc etc. still too bad on the lack of one. but lets see what my teachers let me do next semester in 3D modelling.............

wierd Roger. still no crater here but i usually see parts fly out of the damaged model trailing smoke and fire. are you running on lower settings?

well (and forgive me i havent gotten KAW anything yet other than Sabres and Invaders) tunnels would be useful for trains and roadways. but as Wrench said it would also make a big hit on framrate.

or you can clean your folder out and make more room in your pic upload folder. go my settings in your account and select manage attachments. then i would get rid of anything over 6 months old or major files that could be released in D/l thread. thank you thou BTW, in looking this up to help you i realized i'm close to my limit and need to clean up.

Kevin, do you really have to ask this community if we want more of something? :f***: while on the Able Dog topic though is there any special mission AD like the AEW version? or are they at sites that wont share...
