Some RAF aircraft you could add De Havilland Mosquito NF series De Havilland Hornet F3 FR 4 Bristol Beaufighter Gloster /Armstrong whitworth Meteor NF

I'd like to see the KA-52 or KA-50-2 in usage.

CF-105 anyone? Its happened before... :(

Nice, cant wait to park up ;)

Nothing like a bit of retard defence ;) Not a biggie, but the in takes on this look a little "off" i cant put my finger on what it is. Here are some fine images of the real thing which may help. http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/Pages...oto2_Index.html Btw once you have the skin layout ready can you forward me a copy, i'd live to do a skin for you guys.

Cant wait! http://www.hunterteam.com/gallery/gallery_0056.htm Could be some interesting skins... Buccaneers dont pull up on take off they just pull up the under carrage and keep flying ;) I suspect that the modders have found this site but never the less... http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/0_Contents.html Coloum 5, "In fact the A-7 is just as fast at sea level, has better endurance" This is'n strictly true the S.Mk.2B's range with no external fuel was 2,300 miles the A-7's by comparison, is 2,200 miles. The Buccaneer had an endurance of 9 hrs, i have no figures for the A-7

I have plenty in Il2, but in SF2 i have a recent mission which will stick in my memory for a while. 06:00 Mission from D8 Airfield (lovely name...) to hit a Paran Airfield Fuel tank. Loaded up my A-4C with 6 MK82's, cycled up and took off. Set cruise altitude to 10,000ft and trundled to the enemy base, while keeping an eye on the other flights inbound on various missions and the radio chatter. Approximately 18 miles from the target over the sea I spot four smokers on an intercept to my course. The mig 17s turn to engage my single A-4 so I decide to head for the deck. I throttle back a about 540kts and 100 feet, not wanting to overstress the bird. I watch in disbelief as a Mig shoots by and explodes upon hitting the sea, another mig bottles its run and pulls up and gives chase. Screeching towards the target i line up with the target, set the ripple to 6 and loose just before the target shoots underneath. My first bomb hits the target and the others strike the following tanks. With the low altitude and enemy flack the A-4 is hit multiple time, partly from the bomb blast and 12.7 mm rounds. I turn back towards base with the migs still behind as baggage with one airbreak blown off, no rudder and a plane looking like it been attacked by angry wood peckers. I throttle up to regain the bit of air speed I lost and headed back to base. After giving chase for another 30 miles the migs bug out rather than overfly the friendly airbase I was passing through. A bit moth eaten and damaged i managed to touch the A-4 down without a hitch at 06:45

F2 for take off/landing and manouvering, then F1 or F3 for combat.

I pretty much wish we weren't buying the JSF. I think some good british ingenuity, and maybe (just maybe) a true british aircraft for the first time in 40 years... I just hope we dont end up in the same situation as with the chinooks...

Though competition is good. It will offer features the JSF doesnt. Would be good for airforces which already operate the Eagle. I wonder if thee are any common parts?

it still looks like the lavi... even more so abround the nose.

Has anyone else tried it? I can select the map, i can select aircraft but i get a CTD when i try and load a mission? If it cant be done thats fine, i was just wondering if anyone has managed it?

Just checked the Whirlwind, i was testing has that set already. Hmm. I'll see if it occures with the stock aircraft.

Thanks i'll try the base size, the cat is the same in SF2 as its pretty much just a repack of sf1 with different textures and vista ready.

OK, I was trying to put some WW2 warbirds in and play in europe :) I'll wait and see if anything comes out :)

RAF Venom departs Akrotiri Cyprus 1956 on route to the Suez. (*note they actually used the usual RAF Grey Green)

Russ that looks good. 0k files? Sounds like they where corrupted when written to disk?

Unless its an old SAA one and those are S.50 Wingtips? From wiki... "Buccaneer S.50 Variant for South Africa. Wings could be folded but folding was no longer powered. Aircraft could be equipped with two single-stage rockets (see RATO) to assist take-off from hot-and-high airfields like that of AFB Waterkloof in Pretoria, where the type was mostly based. "

One or two things, my friends dad was an RAF engineer, and I've talked at length about aircraft (he does RC stuff now), and the Harriers. The main detractors said "it could carry a packet of fags the length of a cricket field". He said it carried a useful bomb load further and with better accuracy than artillery. Plus he mentioned in normal flight the GR.3's were smokeless? Also that tornado pilots avoided them as they didn't like being made fools of by the harrier pilots sense of humour... As for the ability to work from clearings and car showrooms, the VTOL, STOVL ability are fantastic in urban warfare and COIN.

The 17 is good, its got almost the right mix for "dog fighting", it lacks when your talking about longer ranges though. Its like WWII, you dont want to get in a turning fight with a zero. Slash attacks with higher speed aircraft are the best form of attack/defence...

The low level stuff is legendary, tumble weeds on the refueling probe, telephone wires wrapped around the tail, one even had a fish scales on the turbine blades after a low level sea run. They didnt find feathers so they think it hit a jumping fish!

I've been testing many aircraft with SF2 (as i'm a new user) and i've noticed some have a bug where the shadow goes from one wing tip to the ground? This seems to occure on Wrench's F-86E-10 and (i think not 100% as i'm not playing it atm) Dave's F3H Demon. I'm not knocking the mods in anyway, i'm just wondering if i'm doing something wrong or is it due to the fact they were designed for SFP1 not SF2?

Thanks, Wrench, I didnt find anything on a quick search related to SF2 so i thought i'd at least ask. Thank you for your thorough reply.

Any reason? Is it hard to model due to the blown wings?

Ground pounder. Nothing like the smell of Napalm in the morning...
