thats not what they meant by use protection in the Friday saftey briefs............

looks cool. however i don't think there will be a Top Gun sequel now with Tony Scott gone..........

got alot else on my plate right now and this has been sitting on my HD since April. the wings are darker than the fuselage for some reason and i haven't gotten around to decalling it. that said i think this is the farthest project along so i anyone is interested in picking it up and finishing for their own project lemme know and i'll PM it to you. i'd like to see it out there for the 80's and early 90's Hercs but i'm just stalled out on it.

pure awesomeness! please tell me you're releasing that one!

also any planes you want gone can actually disappear just by deleting the particular planes folder in the main Aircraft one. no need for blank files in Objects........

nah Wrench's Zombie squad is better however for now i'm stuck with TW due to 1. cost of DCS 2. the fact i have all major SF2 titles and 3 most importantly, Phantoms.

not working out the hourly on it but i get 40% disability from the Veterans Administration for my dings and dents. thing is my back is the major issue and reason i filed a claim in the first place. how ever i got 30 percent for PTSD like issues (filed as an afterthought on advise of a VA rep) and 0% for my back because i didn't act like i was in pain. sorry, after 7 years it gets old whining about the pain everyday! back on topic.... with these other countries planes being released terrains to match would be mighty nice. hell don't even need a campaign, i'm sure we would work that one out fast in the CA house! so long as it's not too locked up.....

you mean you can actually fly in this series, not just mod it? i do agree though, i got the F-4 skinpack just to save myself some time with the ini dancing and making a few of the decals for my own project. now down from two weeks to 13 days 23 1/2 hours........

if multiple folders why not break down into 1. terrians 2. ini edits 3. flight, effects and other minor but not strictly ini related mods 4. weps. just as an idea i dont think we are talking major aircraft mods right now. and because R/L is still kickin my butt right now i'm gonna wrapup the squadronlist by adding the major shooter squadrons from NF4 and Vieatnam Air and Ground. still little leary of red air add ins cause then your talking cockpits and could make a squadronlist as big as the stock one. but there should be plenty of room at the end to add in. my main focus with that has been 1 units flying stock aircraft sometim in history and 2 era from 1948-1991. yea theres examples like the 100th FS wich replaced Alabama ANG's 160th FS in '07 but i don't wanna go that crazy.....

my two cents on the weapon matter is that much should be added but maybe not everything possible out there. i had to massively trim doen Gunnys pack when i had my old Compaq laptop due to there just being soooo much stuff that i wasn't gonna use. on the other hand without ini edits on some weps you have things like the abilty to carry Mk 82's on a Mustang in 1950! i would vote for making the stock weps more accurate and adding some of the useful stuff but maybe not every single variant of 2.75 FFAR or Iranian homemade missle. leave those in the specific mods (FAC, Helo or Op Darius) for which they are more useful. my understanding was that this was primarily for stock game improvement, but i also agree with HR that many elements (squadronlist, RWR library) could be useful in any future mods to save time and lessen patching impact. not to say patches won't bork the mod, just lessen the borking to where updating is a few hour or maybe day affair for all concerned

looks good for A-6 and prob Hornet as i think they had most of their carrier names near the service name. Phantoms and i believe Tomcats are a bit more problematic as they can be all over the airframe. i've got Forrestal on the tail, on the spine, back by the NAVY etc. Toms had the same variations esp earlier on. so for it to work it would have to be one huge decal and alot of testing to verify location on skin. that or place it above the NAVY anyhow and suffer the wrath of the rivetcounters........

yours is an interesting idea at the moment but i think to easily affected by future patches. the only thing i can think of is that it would no longer be a part of the nationname grouping but rather purely tied in to the appropriate skin (NAVYxxx for USNGrey, USMCxxx for USMCGrey etc). no reason that shouldnt work, have it going on one of my skins with the insignia(though named star) to make a couple of squadrons insignia smaller as IRL.

Q had the original L-13, but this proved not powerful enough for the new anti armor role. AH-1R fitted the T-53-L-703 and a new transmission and saw an increase in performance only two buit as a testbed for the new engine. the S is the culmination of the improvements both in anti armor missles and engine/performance. idk as to P, E, and F although i believe the F was just an upgrade to keep them viable in National Guard service. hope this helps and does this mean new Cobras in the offing? got the info from Osprey combat aircraft #009 btw though abit dated being from '87

stock DLC, my F4_SqTails.

you could try undeleting. i use iobit mainly for the shredder, but you wouldn't believe some of the files that pop up when i use the undelete function (WHAT! i haven't watche 3 brazilians and a cucumber in 3 years!?!?!?!) other than that as you said its important to back up. sorry to here about this...

and the block 48 long gun muzzles if they're keepin em past 72. were developed to prevent flameout from gun gases but IRL they were returned Stateside before the modifications were ready.

miami wice! number one show!

whew on it's not being at DAT. they won't let me play there any more cause i D/L'd WOA and 1 plane on the same day. just crushed i tell ya......

credit it to Bisquick? sorry couldn't help me self... its not from the other site is it?

wery true on the skins Kevin, but i was pointing out how far one could go with this line of logic mirroring the Aussie Pigs..... weps upgrades, a homegrown recce version, extras after the Gulf War as we Americans retired ours to the boneyard. it's a great idea that deserves more than just this one posting.

Connery, then Craig. I mean c'mon Sean Connery came back to play Bond what 15 years later?!

thank you.

in service til '02? how many did the Aussies snatch up after the USAF fleet drawn down in the 90's? IRL they benefitted from some F-111Gs that were used to train on, while preserving airframe life on the C's and RF's. just food for thought there.......

some of us have wives/girlfriends. SF is a more acceptable pasttime to them than onionbooty.com! (actually knew a warrant officer that had that as the home page of his govt. computer during Kosovo deployment in 2000.....)
