not dead. just pining for the fjords

for parking, alot of pics show the bottom speed brake dropped down when parked. admittedly, was looking as the chute thru the top speed brake didnt look right. i recall reading that only the sides deployed when the landing gear was down. but i wouldnt trust that memory (its not a recent one) and most landing pics actually dont show the speed brakes being used

ok, at its heart SF2 is still a Vietnam based game why else would we be keeping track of sandbags hit?

checkin some stuff out

i would say cant let the Yank teen jets have all teh fun but that was before i went up against the Red Baron's bloody grandson.....

you really like that bird dont you? it certainly is better than the rainbow tail stripe they went to next ----------------------------- when you gotta blow something up in Kansas by 0830, by gotta be at an airshow by 1100

off to London...

nice historically wrong in three ways and the reason im neck deep in Hog serials now but still a nice shot mando screenie, or boss's day at the beach

gives me hope for updated Block 10 Vipers (A and B) edit 1: on a seperate note, already busy serial number hunting ANG Hogs and Vipers for the 1980s. must resist urge to add gun nosed Phantoms...... edit 2: it is rude to ask for more when someone does a mass of work. but.... it happens. i release a skin pack and promptly get asked about units in Vietnam (not interested) or post 9/11 (nah, Balad/Bagram/KAF memories can stay in my head thank you) or training units (i dont do them). after i release something covering every airframe over every year and every unit of an aircraft types career! so i get Yakarov79's point, but personally tend to let it go ok no more. got to get back to school work

well, rough patches pop up here and there. makes you appreciate the good times more when they come back around but even in the rough patches, so long as youre on the right side of the dirt you can keep fightin. still good to hear from ya again

ditto on contact on FB but will also say, did you experiment and try adding said line? copy and paste from a working mod install (say ODS30AE or Crisis in the Med)

GKABS, your shots have been looking sharp lately. like "hey buddy, the DCS room is down the hall" sharp mando screenie or who wants to see this in lizard green?

thats wicked but it is up to him. his terrain the phrase about "get this man a warehouse" popped in my head on his last post. Lawrence Fishburne voice and all

quick flight over North Carolina this morning

@Sundowner, @GKABS, @Jimbib will somebody please get this man a warehouse?

Wold Famous Baby!

you could release the skins, or even the whole aircraft MINUS the lods. then require end user to download his original Tornado model, and copy over the lods. the skins and ini edits are all you and shouldnt be an issue to release been done before, especially with DAT products. so its A path forward but will also ask and see if anyone's heard form them since august last year

interesting day on Gonzo Station

could i let the last Thursday of the month go with out goin ugly? well........

well there werent. til the spoiled tangerine tariffed their home islands (Heard and McDonald) last year now, the Penguins Liberation Army stands tall alongside their Greenlandic brothers....

looking damn good as for the US Air Force, i think it looks good where it is. it wouldnt be as visible on teh intake when you have weps on the pylons. of course you could also leave it off like the regular Eagles did as well and put the insignia there as for 1975 entry date, im not quite so sure. the three ADTAC units that swapped 106s for Eagles, the 5th 48th and 318th, did so in 81, 83 and 85 respectively. much of the air defense of CONUS moved to the ANG starting in the late 70s, and the active duty FISs tended to retire their 106s without replacement, disbanding shortly afterwards. in 75 GEN Chappie James (the RL Chappie) did a test flight in the Tomcat and strongly advocated for getting some for the FIS mission. Congress and big Air Force disagreed but its your world. you make the DoD budget what you want it to be

and a Mel Gibson pilot mando screenie or odd stuff collected along the way
