very nice. just need to add Kandahar airfield and its many varied aircraft. would be great for TW series or helo sims

congrats man!

remember an interview where his parents told him not to use foul language yet to look upto soldiers, police and firefighters. "and how do most of them talk?"

just a thought Gripen would make a helluva bird for 1990+ merc campaigns

i wish we had one of those bombs!

In regards to his connection it also may have to do with his geographic location. when i was in afghanistan i was fortunate enough to have internet. however a 3 MB download would take 35 minutes let alone if there was a interuption. it was just the nature of the beast there.

germany flat my BUTT! try drivin a 5 ton thru Bayern (Bavaria) at night and keep lookin down the other side of the guard rail at the forest way below. i have many memories of Germany and the Autobahn. flat is not one of them.

first lets hope the rescuers dont screw the pooch and cave in their shelter while trying to rescue them

agreed about the sunderland. would be useful for a Berlin Airlift mod along with a C-54:good:

the problem with the online world is it's harder to find these A.H.'s and meet them out back their work or home with a tire iron like they deserve .................not that i'd do such a thing:smile:

the weapons editor isnt really necessary anymore with the new layout though it can be convient for some. For western weps i do a lot of research and data_ini editing. i don't quite have the patience to go through the warsaw pact weapons yet. im running a vietnam based install a europe based one a 1950s based one and gonna set up a 1990s based one. all merged of course:grin:

you guys got a lotta young punks disrespecting your memorials over there. thank God no one has thought to piss on the Wall in DC or anything to the Marine memorial. our courts probably wouldn't even let the case get to a court room.

explosion effects for a toilet? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

you know in the story about that in the Korean War they strapped the kitchen sink to a 500 lb bomb then dropped it over North korea. that said you must release as weapon with the Spads!

How did you do that? magic. (couldn't resist:lol: )

cute. Red Bull may sponsor an A model Eagle in a few years time and get it on the warbird market.

as for the better avionics many companies round the world do avionics upgrades on the MiG-21. for your what if here why not have Isreali Aircraft Industries upgrade with a western radar of your choice and make the avionics NATO compatable? its your world just dont do nothing crazy like putting AESA in there:grin:

lookin at gettin in with one the the contractors and run a shift or DFAC in the desert for one year. might as well get a piece of that before Iraq closes or Congress shuts down OEF. For the month of September though gonna unpack the new house while my wifes at work (hah hows that for role reversal) and see about doing some catering on the side when sittin at home gets on my nerves. probably about two weeks after my terminal leave starts:grin:

well after a grand total of almost 10 years (97-99, 02-10) i am finally done working at Smoke Bomb Hill DFAC on Ft Bragg. i pick up my clearing papers this week and wrap up 14 years in the US Army with 2 months of terminal leave starting next month. Would like to go the last 6 years but 3 bulging discs in my back kinda disagree with that aim. Its kinda interesting closing such a long chapter in your life.

as to weapons and avionics it would be possible to incorperate those into a Mig-23. Isrealis have been doing it with -21's for some time now and the iranians have come up with all sort of crazy combos to keep their american birds going. as to the engines perhaps a turbofan from a -29 but if i recall from the book Red Eagles the original -23 could out accelerate anything we had including the Eagle and Tomcat. so maybe just a really good overhaul on the engines. for a gen 4.5 upgrade i would focus on it being a BVR platform or primarily an attack bird. its basic shape wont allow for stealth and its a bit long in the tooth to be tangling with fresh built 4th and 5th gen fighters. but there is some possibilities for an upgrade, even bringing it to NATO standards. @ almaeki the ace combat bit means some of the things you want to do with this plane while achievable in the ini edits will make it more of an arcade game than a semi realistic flight sim. most of us in here like a little bit of realism in the sim. nothing personal just most of our preference

happy birthday

Happy birthday mate!

SF2E was my first for Gen2, then SF2V for the carriers and Navy Phantoms. gonna get Isreal soon so i can use the expansion packs then hopefully i'll be fully merged all games by early next year. Hey you try buying all the games on a sergeants pay feeding 5 mouths in the home!
