About the necessity of the TWS radar mode, I like to think that people who act like "I want it all or nothing", usually get nothing...

I like the trend TW has taken with the new DLC... I will for sure support this with my money

Nobody mentions the GoNavy data base? http://www.gonavy.jp/AirWingsf.html It mentions any deployments of the Air Wings with the Bu. No. lists of the Aircrafts :wink2:

Just because I love the "six"... 84th FIS doing the right job by firing the last Falcon at one Tu-16

Master Joda-MigBuster got it obviously right hier. A 5nm boresight lock range is deadly spot on. If you want to lock up to a target further away, you have to switch to a "full system lock on", i.e. cycling with the cursor in your radar screen through the detected targets, and then manually lock on = "illuminate" him with CW (countinuous wave). BTW... you surely know this link: http://combatace.com/topic/11165-radar-operation-guidelines/

Arctic Camo F-16 in the nocturnal northern sky...

Did anybody find out how to edit the number of the helper on the way to you? Indeed I think that 8 F-15 helping you out against 3 MiG-21 is way too overdone... Danilo

Aaargh!!! I really can't miss this Patch this time! :yes:

Thank you for this Mod Spillone!

Missile incoming! (or whatever Red Guys say...) (Same fight, few seconds later) Bad odds... Just a Dragon...

And that's how it looks here: Ejection Seat: Parachute:

Are you trying to use the Ejection Mod, am I right? As far as I can say, that procedure works only with SF 1st series. If you want to make it work with SF2, you have to copy and merge (and renumber...) all the entries from that AircraftFireEffect.ini into the original PARTICLESYSTEM.INI from SF2. You get the PARTICLESYSTEM.INI extracting it from the FlightData.cat. Danilo

Isn't the Vulcan the best A2A weapon ever built? 1. Blazing a Fulcrum-C 2. Saving the a$ of a lazy Tomcat driver 3. AIM-9M...

Zipper - Fulcrum: 1 - 0

Well... don't expect too much even from the -9E. Despite its name, it was still way behind the -9D navy model... By the way: whoever has a 50% Kill Ratio with the 9Bravo, must have taken all his rounds against a Jumbo 747 .

Ahhh great! I was really looking forward for this one. Thanks

F-4EJ 305th Hikotai pulling its duty I love these modern JASDF liveries (though bump mapping seems not to work on my system...). Now just waiting for Spillone to finish his F-104J Mod...

As someone said, no target too small... no weapon too big...

Voodoos starting for another intercept. But somehow once again is the navy faster and get the kill...

Great Mod! Absolutely first class! Right now my favourite terrain where to shot dowm MiGs! Surely there is no need to improve anything in this Mod, but if someone like me hate to lose all wingmen on the approach after having saved their a$$es in the battle, they could change this in the KAMCHATKA_TARGETS.INI: ... [TargetArea008] Name=CASCO COVE CGS ///Position=1292750,446412 <--- comment this out Position=1304790,448510 <--- add this new line Radius=5656.854492 ActiveYear=0 Location=4 Alignment=FRIENDLY AirfieldDataFile=german_airbase1.ini NumSquadrons=6 Target[001].Type=Runway1 Target[001].Offset=0.00,0.00 ///Target[001].Heading=220 <--- comment this out Target[001].Heading=90 <--- add this new line ... [TargetArea020] Name=SHELIKHOVO-1 ///Position=334125,199287 <--- comment this out Position=334080,199230 <--- add this new line Radius=8485.281250 ActiveYear=0 Location=6 Alignment=FRIENDLY AirfieldDataFile=soviet_airbase4.ini NumSquadrons=3 Target[001].Type=Runway6 Target[001].Offset=0.00,0.00 ///Target[001].Heading=020 <--- comment this out Target[001].Heading=0 <--- add this new line ... This will shift the position of the Shelikhovo and Casco Cove AB just slightly and bring them in more convenient position.

As I've been already shot at (... and shot down... ) with any type of red SAM in this game, is nice to have some kind of help on its own side... MIM-14 Nike Hercules Booster separating from the missile... Though I've never seen these things hit ANYTHING so far...

Without question no.2!!! Therefore my wishlist: 1. Wingmen who do what they're told! 2. Communication and commands to other flights 3. Enemy AI planes with limited fuel quantity! (I mean: now they can flee in 'burner for hours!!! ) (But somehow I'm just thinking right now that Wrench's Grandma was very wise... )

File Name: F-4J Linebacker MiG Killers File Submitter: DaniloE31 File Submitted: 16 May 2010 File Category: F-4 Three skins for ThirdWire's original F-4J from SF2V, showing them as they were painted during the SEA Linebacker campaign in 1972. These are: VF-31 Tomcatters VF-92 Silverkings VF-114 Aardvarks Original real life Bu. No. from that cruise are included. The MiG Killers among them are: BuNo 7249 NH206, VF-114, crew Robert Hughes and Adolph Cruz BuNo 7245 NH201, VF-114, crew Kenneth Pettigrew and Michael McCabe BuNo 7269 NG211, VF-92, crew Curtis Dose and James McDevitt BuNo 7307 AC106, VF-31, crew Samuel Flynn and William John These skins are heavily based on those Ravenclaw_007 did for WoV, e.g. http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/8226-f-4j-vf-33-tarsiers/ which were again based on Sundowner's famous hi-res template, e.g. http://www.column5.us/phantoms.htm Thus big kudos to them! I just took pieces from both, cleaned them up and made my own templates, modified them and added all bits to fit the mapping of the new meshes from SF2V. Made new decals… et voilà. Textures are 1024*1024 size.
