  1. thank you for the missile info and breathe Kemosabe. this aint FB, and over half of the active participants arent American at all beside, its fun playing the Soviets in games. their ROE was always much less restrictive......
  2. update @Wrench that did it. although it was set for -2.5, i changed it to 2 changed a few other values too so its not pulling vapor trails like a pissed off Phantom anymore!
  3. time saving trick i do is to make the AFxx-xxx tail number, then turn off the layer group that has the AFxx for the nose num. you gotta juiggle the decal ini a little as one side will be off on the other, but it is much quicker than making a batch each tail and nose nums also to my eye at least, the unit patches could shrink a little. shouldnt hurt much if its the template i think it is (and 4096 px big!)
  4. Arc Light '65 and '66

  6. the phone games were ok for when you had time to kill, like waiting at an appointment but they frankly only share name and sounds with SF2...
  7. well it would have added two to the score. if CENTCOM would count Parani Fishbeds in revetments as kills.... and this guy, would even drop a bomb. well, he gets to sit and wait on EOD to safe the 117s, while im heading to the (possibly) air conditioned trailer....
  8. nice site. you have to wander around it abit to get to the pics, but the home page has a lot of potential for PACAF overall (a topic not often covered in the books outside of a chapter or a mention)
  9. book is Don Logan's first book on Hogs. Republic's A-10 Thunderbolt. i also have the WarHawgs book by him, but its much more late 90s until just before the C upgrade
  10. F-117 part 2? and i mean the secrecy, not the actual airframe........
  11. ive worked with Menrva for a few years now. he can be... an acquired taste i dont see his post here as condenscending, but i can totally understand where some might hell, after 8 months workin near daily when we released ODS30AE, i was tired and callin him an AH under my breath constantly. a few months break and it got better. plus three fourths of what we disagreed on he was actually right about. just his phrasing got me worked up enough to not see it at first
  12. '87 it appears the didn't have much of anything
  13. my bad, looking at the excel it seems they did operate block 10s (79- and 80- birds) for about a year and dont have those two in TAC it appears they operated the block 10s for about a year or so, then went to block 15s until 88. the block 10s then when to Shaw when the 363rd transitioned from a TRW to a TFW
  14. pretty nice, although 8th TFW flew Block 15s. those started with sn 80-0541
  15. will shoot you the Viper excel and a folder of pics on sunday fun fact on the 497ths Phantoms: at least one of them went on to be converted to F-4G specs, one of the late last batch converted in the late 80s
  16. F-4 serials (version 1).xlsx check the page "F-4E 88", it'll have the serials ive tracked so far F-4Ds were almost all in the ANG/Reserves by 85, and F-4Cs were solidly in the ANG by then, with many units sending theirs to the boneyard for Ds or Es. the only Active duty Ds were at Homestead's 31st TTW, which became a TFW again when it gained F-16s in 1986. The D would hold out until 1987 when the 307th TFS swapped for Vipers all the EF-4Cs were in Indiana in 1985, split between the two squadrons in their ANG. the avionics for the Weasel mission got removed, but the antennae and strike camera housing were left alone. They did not do any SEAD after joining the Guard.....
  17. hello all, im trying to make the F and D model takeoffs run more like the G an H models where they have that is the weird little almost nose down attitude and gentle lift off runway ( if you dont apply any input). currently the D and Fs im working with try to imitate the Phantom jocks with sharp pitched climbs. pretty sure a Big Belly D shouldnt be 1000ft over the runway at the halfway mark. what entries in the data ini should i be looking at to adjust/ match to the G?
  18. wicked, but me thinks you need to move the kill marks entry below the lightning bolt entry in the decal ini another jet of teh same era .... ish
  19. not yet. theyre still on the todo list, but im also waiting on a potential new model as well as the research wrap up for them
  20. tried hitting the GODDAMNEVILCOMMBUILDING with 51 Mk82s. then i thought of a more effective method
  21. Tall Tails from Thirdwire coming in July...
