wellllll, thats a tease.

what do you shoot down the flying pigs with? SPAM!!!!!!!! (vikings march into the thread chanting......)

what was next on the major projects list? me thinks progress is going on that. and no, i know it wasnt a fix to the NA terrain, that would be askin to much.

no stand-alone. gotta get NF series or ODS.

it just takes some ini editting if it will work at all. had trouble with the Tempest for the longest time (hint to prop guys: Tempest II new model please) but constant fiddling finally got it to work. (don't ask what exactly i did it was a year ago and somedays i am lucky to remember my name!) in general experience most(tho not all ) Gen 1s will show in game, but take much editting to act right.

to all working this project, what about comprehensive decal packs for the stock birds? i have a start with the post nam USAF F-4's but thats adrop in the ole TW bucket. Wrench has a good start with his ANG F-100 pack but it needs more accurate ANG markings (they were round pretty much pre-BiCentennial) not to mention F-84's round the world(and in the ANG) and Vipers. F-104s are actually well represented but would hafta be collected into one source whereas all are scattered right now. and to the Danish AF prob i was having, yes it was a lack of level one decals. so in order to get different AF units to work they will need 1. a skin 2. at least 2 level 1 decals to choose from. trying to throw other service units on anything but the intended service skin or a generic skin will not allow a unit to be selected. (ie USMC sqn on a USNGrey1 skin)

no conjugal vist prison for him. he goes to pound him in the *** prison!

where's your safe for the nuclear codes? looks nice though. better than my laptop and logitech stick.....

now need pics of Mig-21's intercepting........

lotta pilots put out one book after vietnam; Trotti, John Flanagan (Vietnam Above the Treetops) and Mason (Chickenhawk). most even said it was more therapy and tell their story than becoming a writer or making money. and First to Fight did have some good photos in it. just a lot of my books haven't made it thru some of the recent moves. at least now the bulk of my library is digital and on 4 diff. hard drives!!!! for photo reference esp. Navy and USAF Phantoms cant beat the C&M series. 1-24 except for #15. just irked there isnt a #25 USMC F-4 Phantoms!

Jonathan, if you are looking for the 2014-2018 timeframe you will probably want to go with a daul role trainer (like the Hawk) or a simpler jet due to their not having an air force and therefore the experience. look at the troubles the Luftwaffe had starting up esp after getting the Starfighters and that was with highly experienced Experten getting back into the cockpit... my two cents Hawk T1.A or Mirage F1's with modest glass cockpit upgrade. or even Isreali upgraded Mig-21s. Use helos for CAS, the jets will be busy holding off the Russians til the rest of NATO gets there.....

thanks for the replies all. your second post could be quite helpful Sundowner, i have Grey Ghosts already tho. agreed a good book, with much on the navy side for lo-viz, TPS. little sketchier on the Marines tho but some good shots nonetheless. i also have Phantoms over Vietnam GASCAN, good read but alas i need reference photos........ been strippin the net for all the model decals i can find too. a preliminary on why i ask....

does anyone know of any books just on USMC Phantoms? i'm particularly looking for pics and info from the 80's, but any is welcome. looking for something like the color & markings series (i have all USAF and USN Phantoms from that series on digits) and regrettably lost my copy of First to Fight a couple of years ago but not paying amazon prices right now. if you all know of any other resources please let me know. TIA.

is the Victor available here or at the other site?

well with Dave starting a presidential campiagn slogan there, Larry Flynt just offered $1 million to anyone with pics of Dave holding a no nukes sign! :f***:

a shot to the kneecap for the first offense, between the legs for all others (given most of our members are male.) and the beatings will continue until morale improves or Dave comes back to SF! seriously though like Eriks idea, plus possibly the moderator that approves a file could send the link to it prior to approval.

oh and at HR and ALCON, i'm gonna try to get some squadron badges on the Danish 104's at night this weekend. me thinks that is the main problem with units not showing is the lack of decals. if it works will release the mini pack for inclusion here, as well as a Dutch pack by end week next week. the dutch tended to have one squadron badge from a wing on one side and the other squadron badge on the other. i believe the prime owner was on the right and other unit on the left, thats what i'll go with.

good luck what ever your journey. i'm going to drill tommorow thru Sunday. i guess this thread will either be dead til then or we will come back to a million questions!

Sounds very interesting. also keep in mind that many RL post war jets were built on German experience so the shape of Free World airpower could look very different......

Pure awesome WBS. now i gotta get the Kai in the collection (old space saving habit from my 160 GB compaq. still not used to havin over 500GB avail after all the programs) Sundowner, i am now a dumba$$. i took fake pilot for my DECM on the J_74, then adapted a 74 Sqn skin to it! shoulda just ini edited the J_UK as it was basically a navy Phantom with a bit of brit kit (say that 3 times fast) under the hood. at school so i cant download right now, is the DECM part of the LOD or FakePilot'd on? more progress with Naval DLC decals

had not heard about the FAST deployment when i wrote. however, some years ago American servicemen deaths were tied to a regime in Libya. as i recall 6th Flt took care of naval and SEAD, the Air Force flew the longest sorties ever by fighter aircraft and dropped iron outside the tent of the man responsible. tho not likely the desired effect, he did get quiet for some time afterwards. back to the present its also believed most of the UAV assets are still operating in Libyan airspace http://theaviationis...2/drones-libya/

looks good. where'd you get a J with DECM? looks better than mine

as was stressed early in TOPGUN, use the vertical in teh Phantom. the USAF primarily used it as BVR interceptor or iron hauler (esp as an iron hauler) but the Navy was still using the Double Ugly for fleet defense into the 80's. and typically did it w/o the centerline gun pod. get way above or below your target, and use those J-79s or gravity as needed.

well get the japanese speech files down, and i remember someone did a mod putting crackles and such in the files for the E-2 controller on Valium (Oyster 1, we're going down. yeah imagine that one for a laugh). the main prob likely right now in community is native japanese speaker, not editing capability.
