Spectre8750

I just checked the files from the main download Links and they check out ok.

Hi Chief A huge welcome to you! You must be here for the punishment, or the pleasure. Does this mean Dave's reduced in position? Hope you enjoy it here as much as we do. And love the Ruger Zippo!

That's just down right wacky! Need some peeps to come party with ya! Wife be all wack wack! owe!

"cause everyone would be in love with me...eee...eee"!

I say strap a GAU-8/A Avenger 30mm cannon on some Fokker Dr's. Since it's a budget thing anyway. A-10 all the way!

Love it, thanks for the share!

Killer Kiwi!

Those were the days I took smoke breaks more often.

That sounds good. Hey SF2 has crashed on me with Win7. It's just something that can happen once in a while, but it shouldn't crash a lot.

What Windows version?

I'm waiting for these so I can post the next updated A-10 Hawg

I've heard Windows 10 is screwing up things pretty bad.

According to a Book I have Copyright 1986 Detail & Scale, I can only find LAU-68 7 Tube Launchers used. The Internet doesn't really have anything credible showing other Launchers, Not even the LAU-3.

According to Wiki, not that I put much credence into there sources, but I'm pretty sure I remember that they do use them. But let me check my books when I get back home.

Scary! It's like stumbling into my Son's Liberal Teachers Secret Lounge Room just before classes start.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

Ravenclaw, will these be included? LAU-61/LAU-68 rocket pods (each with 19× / 7× Hydra 70 mm rockets, respectively) LAU-5003 rocket pods (each with 19× CRV7 70 mm rockets) LAU-10 rocket pods (each with 4× 127 mm (5.0 in) Zuni rockets)

IMHO MSI makes decent quality boards. The main thing is the RAM and Ram speed support, some will say they support but can be unstable, so check that out thoroughly. I'm using a Core2Quad MSI that uses i5 Memory and was supposed to support 1600mhz, which worked for my 4Gigs, but when I put 8Gigs of the same exact Memory it was unstable and had to be reduced to around 1420mhz. So don't go too cheap. Also I prefer NVidia myself, A GTX960 should Rock pretty well.

Welcome Alex, great to see new blood around. Combat Ace is a great place to hang out, and the Modding community has a lot to get into for the Strike Fighters Series and many other Games and mods here. Great to meet you, enjoy.

Thanks Erik

I'm not getting that tractor beam effect either, seems to be working great so far Ravenclaw!

Mk40 or Mk66? These are a matter of age and replacement. Mk40's are older then Mk66. The Hydra 70 family of WAFAR (Wrap-Around Fin Aerial Rocket), based on the Mk 66 universal motor, was developed from the previous 2.75 inch Mk 40 motor-based folding fin aerial rocket. The propellant grain is longer and of a different formulation than that of the MK40/MK4, however, the stabilizing rod and igniter are essentially the same design. The MK66 motors have a substantially higher thrust, 1,335 pounds-force (5,940 N) (Mod 2/3) 1,415 pounds-force (6,290 N) (Mod 4), and a longer range than the older motors. To provide additional stability the four rocket nozzles are scarfed at an angle to impart a slight spin to the rocket during flight. The Mk 40 was used during the Korean and Vietnam wars, being used to provide close air support to ground forces from about 20 different firing platforms, both fixed-wing and armed helicopters. Today, the OH-58D® Kiowa Warrior and AH-64D Apache Longbow, as well as the Marine Corp's AH-1 Cobra, carry the Hydra rocket launcher standard on its weapon pylons. Mk 66 rocket motor variants Designation Description Mk 66 Mod 0 70 mm (2.75 in) WAFAR universal motor; common motor for the GD Hydra 70 series of rockets; original prototype; for US Army Mk 66 Mod 1 Mk 66 variant; production variant; for US Army Mk 66 Mod 2 Mk 66 Mod 1 variant; HERO (Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance) safe; for US Navy and US Air Force Mk 66 Mod 3 Mk 66 Mod 1 variant; HERO safe; Mk 66 Mod 2 for US Army Mk 66 Mod 4 Mk 66 Mod 2/3 variant; incorporates a Salt rod to reduce exhaust gases; for all services Mk 66 Mod 5 Mk 66 Mod 4 variant; Incorporates propellant venting during fast cook off Mk 66 Mod 6 Mk 66 Mod 4/5 variant; designed to reduce the tendency of secondary launch gasses to combust in the parent aircraft’s engine, primarily with the AH-64 helicopter More here about the 40 and 66 http://www.aircav.com/hydra70.html And this explains the differences http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app4/275in-rockets
