Very cool stuff! The Buccaneer is so unique (british plane)

About flaps, after viewing google Catalina pictures and youtube Catalina take off and landing, it doesn't seem to me there's any flaps on this machine. Am I right? I've checked on other websites and some do affirm "the PBY have no flaps".

PACMAN, did you take pictures of your RAF Jaguar?

Hi guys, Here's the new trick to make Recce mission impossible to survive, even in this Wonder that is the Phantom : Landing on a carrier to complete the mission. ...more practise to do! _

Hi guys! Well, I didn't resist to the temptation of trying this. This is the Mirage Factory RF-4C and I tried a stock ThirdWire F-4B skin on it. After few modifications, here she is! Now it needs some decals and I cannot do that. So, here's my request to the decals makers : I need the vertical tail squadron marking and the fuselage squadron number decals. Maybe few other numbers if you think it's necessary. Is there a decal maker that wants to do that? You choose the USMC recce squad you want, as long as it used that generic USMC grey skin. Thanks for reading :) Cliff

Woooo!!! What beauties! ...getting them finished, yes I do totally agree 130% Both are awesome, Sundowner rules!

Come on guys! I've been one of the 71 who read the post and didn't say "thank", why? I didn't think that such talented and inspired modders do their things to have thanks from me. Ok, I may be a tiny small part of this community but the way I feel is I am just not worthy to enjoy such beautifull and interesting mods. But the fact is, yes I do enjoy them! So, if you want to know what I feel about the modders community and if you want to know my very humble opinion : I cannot express the thanks you all modders deserve for the terrific work you make, because there ain't no word. THANK YOU! is a weak way to reward you for the fun you provide to all of us. And it's not just about video game or aircraft sim, sometimes it's just Art. If you think it's "something for nothing", let me tell you modders, you are the thing and we are nothing without you. Thank you very much to all

Hey, if your OT brings such RF-4 picture from Soulfreak everytime, be my guest Spinners, go ahead and OT to the max! Yes those USMC RF-4B tails are quiet numerous and colourfull. I like the Fox from the VMFP-3 as much as Spook (Soulfreak pic). Thank you very much Mr Howes! Your RF-4B skin contains everything needed to make a good mod. My main regret is not being able to use all of your decals because of the "transparent thing" issue (more than 6 decals on the same mesh...) So here's the result, this skin is from eburger68 SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack Let's Recce!

Hi ! I have some problems with the PBY Catalina. I'm running a WOE/V install level 06. There is no yaw control when I take off and fly while, when the plane is taxying, the yaw control works with the nose gear. The rudder doesn't move at all and there's no flaps moving either. Both rudder and flaps appear in the PBY_data.ini and I checked to fly within the 128 max speed limit control (knots?). Anyway the rudder doesn't move when grounded at 0 knt. Is there something not combatible with my install? Cliff

Take out a MiG-15 and its coachman will just finish on the wind shield _

Hi guys! I'm into the B-26K by Kesselbrut, it's an awesome bird, great fun but not that easy to handle. I try to modify the B-26K cockpit.ini in order for the fuel gauges to be more readable. The lovely tiny needles are moving the way they should but I am not satisfied with the result in flight. Do some of you know how many tanks fitted the B-26K Counter Invader, where they were located and how much fuel there were in it? I found some datas about it but it makes no sense with the data.ini : 6935 kg 3028 kg in each wing and 439.5 kg in each wingtip tank. I found 400.26 gal in each wing (300.13 gal behind each engine and 100.13 gal in each inner wing) for a WWII A-26B. That doesn't match at all, even with the difference of the wingtip tanks... (Did I mention the conversions?) Well, if you know something, it would be kind from you to share your knowledge, 'cause I'm doubting seriously about what to do. Cliff

Very cool Crusader!!! Thanks

File Name: Column5's VF-41 skin for F-4J File Submitter: Cliff11 File Submitted: 06 November 2009 File Category: F-4 Phantom II Skins This is the VF-41 skin by Column5 for the ThirdWire stock F-4J. It was for the F-4B (or F-4N) and 11th_AF_Taxman suggested to adapt it for the F-4J. Tested on WOE, it should work with any Thirdwire Strike Fighter 1 series install. Thanks to Column5 and 11th_AF_Taxman! Have some fun! You cannot use this file for any payware. Click here to download this file

Hi PACMAN! Tell me, do you carry a recon pod with your RAF Jaguar? If yes, please, which one? (can you post a picture?) As usual, I tried to complete a recce by your way (it's pretty clear explained and it's quiet always the same) but I didn't make it! You know... Parani what-if, nightflight, bad weather, enemies... I like : "When all else fails turn for home and accept that sometimes it's too tough to get through", wise man! I find it hard to act wisely when playing a sim. It could be a good training for RL yet :)

...ok

Thank you! Then, am I supposed to change something to the RWR datas? [RWR] Type=3_ring ... (tga) SearchPosition=0.85 TrackPosition=0.55 LockPosition=0.15 SearchSize=0.15 TrackSize=0.15 LockSize=0.15 SearchFlash=FALSE TrackFlash=TRUE TrackFlashRate=0.2 LockFlash=TRUE LockFlashRate=0.1 ... (wav)

"f-8iim will not rework it already is best try it your self" Well, to be honest, I'd really like to try my luck with this one. Maybe some of you have already modded it... Before I make a blunder, I'd like to know first if somebody can answer the following question : _

File Name: Mitch's VF-103 skin for F-4J File Submitter: Cliff11 File Submitted: 02 November 2009 File Category: F-4 Phantom II Skins This is the Vf-103 Sluggers skin that Mitch made for the F-4D. 11th_AF_Taxman asked for a F-4J version and here it is. Tested on WOE, it should work for ThirdWire Strike Fighters 1 series, as long as you use the stock ThirdWire F-4J. All credit goes to Mitch, thank you! Public release thanks to 11th_AF_Taxman and Wrench :) You cannot use this skin for any payware. Click here to download this file

Hi :) I think it's done! If any problem about this file, tell me. Cliff

Hi Tax! I'll try to PM it to you. Tell me if it's OK. Hope it'll work Cliff11

Hi Eject, if I get you right, the point is to take out all CAP and then go for the pass? It looks like what Caesar did with the Tomcat, and sure the Su-27 is more than able to do that (but where's the recon pod?). It should be tried but what a risk of being shot as the aim is to take back to the base the photographs and films. But it seems to be clear, there's four options : not detected, damn lucky, berserk or dead... :)

Thank you for your work and your fast replies Cliff

About MiG-25 Recce over Desert Storm I tried roundabout routes, low flying (300->1200 ft) and the big PTB-5500 tank and I get a success ratio like 1/7. I did achieve one mission and I failed another because of a landing crash (!!!*#£%§!!!). So it's quiet hard to do and I run out of idea to improve that... About the F-104, I added specific wingtip drop tank weapon stations : for the left : AttachmentPosition=-3.5415,-0.176,-0.2755 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-1.0,-11.0 for the right : AttachmentPosition=3.5415,-0.176,-0.2755 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-1.0,11.0 Don't forget to change the StationID in the loadout.ini _
