hope so. Aurora and Naperville kinda like to go back and forth for whose bigger and/or has more my dad was from the area, and i spent my teenage years in Boulder Hill, a very small town outside of Aurora Aurora Municipal Airport is actually in Sugar Grove, but is owned by the City of Aurora and is just outside city limits, literally the way most airbases are outside of cities in game. as i recall it didnt hold much bigger than business jets, but that direct knowledge is over 25 years old

would you consider Aurora Illinois? west and slightly north of Naperville, and with a regional airport (or small airbase in game) just outside the city limits. about 10 miles (~16km) away

oh, im quite aware of it. especially since i spent Millenium New Years Eve and Day (31Dec99-1Jan00) at Camp Able Sentry, waiting to head north to Bondsteel after working the team on ODS30AE, my attention turned more to the aircraft that participated in Deny Flight, Deliberate Force and even Allied Force. so i was hoping you were talking about a campaign hidden in the archives somewhere. there is Menrva's Italy Southern Europe 1993-2006 terrain thats not only very beautiful but just waiting for the campaigns

but really do tell.....

if you downloaded any version of the game since Jul 2013 from the official TW store, then you are already patched

Going 1 against..... 8? Ballsy. stupid, but ballsy i mean i brought a buddy even tho this guy wasnt carrying cruise missiles... plenty of flares tho to draw off the Winders

well few things for starters do the stock controls work?("+" for throtle up, arrow keys for up down left and right)? what other controller are you using? finally are you literally using the same controller you last used 11 years ago? like pulled out a drawer, not bought a new copy of the old gear?

very nice, although these guys didnt have to cross the whole ocean to get to Michigan

NKAWTG, even after retirement from government work

im not TW, i dont run the store. my point is that i spent $40 increments getting the parts i wanted most, then the next most and so on until i had it all. but that was buying each part instead of the whole box set the $100 edition is the box set, everything at once. actually saves money over buying each piece over time (it also wasnt available when i was doing that) you do you want to within the limits your budget constrains you to

she may be old, but she has frankly an even bigger third party support crew than DCS with over 5000 various mods to add to the stock games

to answer why get it in portions over the course of a year as you can afford it. maybe get SF2 Europe first, then Vietnam or North Atlantic to have carriers a few months later. etc etc its the route i wound up taking, and probably still would have taken as my mind and budget would have justified several $40 purchases over time rather than $100 at once

there's tons of pics out there of Reserve birds with Eagle "kill" marks from the mid 70s. but for perspective, the Reservists had all done time over Vietnam, while the Eagle crews were just learning their jets as well as writing the book on how to employ them. they engagements i heared about the most were DACT between VF-202 out of Dallas and Eagles from the training wing out of Luke. not so sure about the Viper, unless the pilot did something incredibly stupid (like try to fight with stores still on). it was a revolutionary leap all around, for instance with Viper teams taking top place in bomb comps using just the basic computer and dumb bombs. well before they got "smart" with the Block 40s and 50s. the only advantage the Phantom had at the time was long range Sparrow shots, but she was on the way out the door when the Viper actually started using Sparrow capability and fully taking in the Arizona sun when they got AMRAAMs cleared hell, B-52 tail gunners got lucky at Red Flag when Eagles tried for a gun kill, and A-10s have some cool gun camera phootage of all the teens when they'd try to get into the Hog's element (low and slow)

95% of people on this planet period are just trying to get along and make life a little bit better for themselves and thier families its the noisy 5% of the others that screw it up for the rest of us

actually for its original intended purpose (fly 250 miles from the base/carrier fast, launch missiles, kill bombers) it was quite well suited, and many of the short nosed Phantoms found themselves in interceptor roles in their twilight years now if you meant dogfighter, no. no it wasnt designed nor good at the turning fight. which is why the branch fighter weapon schools turned around and stresses fighting in the vertical, or keeping the speed way up during the engagement

the Battle of Topeka, in an alternate 1987...

which is what prompted the question

thank you Allen, that answered the question (Europe only)

have the F-4D_78? i know Israel and Vietnam would be off the list, while Europe definately has it. what about the original and or North Atlantic?

London Ontario, May '88 Dayton Ohio Jun '88. really, why did they change the Iranian flag to a Syrian one? watching the practice run on a Thursday, summer '88

if your using my tail num template, a good way to do door numbers is to do tail nums first, then turn off the "AFxx" layer and save the three digit num as the nose number. the Tinker Phantoms i pm'd you last week have the decal entry for that so you dont have to dance it around so much
