Stratos

Who??

We need more ground targets, like spanish vehicles, yes, also the soviet Kamov naval helicopters will be a blast. But that Kongo is just wonderful, thanks fr crearing it, It will be great trying to defend it.

Amazing post!! Love the PVO units!

Yes, I think that too. But maybe TK will tell us how to mod the avionics... one day.

IIRC RED is directly for you, Yellow for your flight, and blue is for something else.

I enjoy Falcon 4 BMS a lot, specially by the ground radar and FLIR/TGP, I feel more like a gound pounder/SEAD guy than an Air to Air. If one day we can have ground radar and working FLIR on SF2 I will be happy as a kid on Christmas day. A-10C is too time consuming from my needs, thats why I fly a lot of SF2.

I have started flying the Fishbed against better opossition and I feel my tactics are not good enough to fight against american fighters. Keeping apart which fighter are the best, can someone help to improve my tactics flying the Fishbed please? Only non-R60 Fishbeds please. I have to say that I fly without red boxes or enemy info, but padlock is activated. What I do. Detect the target with the help of CGI, and win at least 3000ft of heigh advantage. When we merge try to chase the tail of one of the bastards, get really close being in AB all the time and hit it with cannons, try to find the enemy that's chasing the other pair of my flight and repeat. If I'm lucky I can get one, or two (If extremely lucky), then I have to disengage to return to base. But can this be improved somehow? The early Atolls can't hit anything ( they are even worse than AIM-9B I think, when they should be the same missile, right?), so is me and my gun most of the time. Will be nice If someone can add his pexperiences. Thanks. Not tried it against Phantoms yet, that scares me a lot!!

Can someone please post pics of the USN skins included in the Thirdwire Tomcat skin pack? Thanks a lot!

Yeah. Good one!

Very good news, and congratulations!!

Thats the one!

Thanks Wrench. Would have liked a 1986 El Dorado Canyon low vis grey just like the A7's. Thanks anyway.

Any low vis grey there?

Maybe money? a turboprop is far cheaper to operate and mantain.

Have been reading about Eldorado Canyon operation, and tought that can be fun to fly on it. But do ee have it?

I edited tons of inis, but planes only until now, so don't worry I will succed. Thanks for posting!

Solved the problem with the water, now is time to search for Tomcat low-vis 1986 skins.

Yeah! Both cammos look great.

Maybe an idea to avoid getting planes exploding is to diminish the damage of the weapons so when you hit a enemy plane is damaged and try to get back to base, but not enough damage to explode in mid air or crash into the ground. Just an idea.

I installed the terrain, and the fixes, but I'm getting this strange line over the sea. Any idea? Once I solve that will search for aproppiate Tomcat skins for the era and will fly against all those Lybians Migs and Mirages.

Looking forward to this one!!

Sound like a good start. Mind to share those inis?

I'm currently reading Viper Pilot by Dan Hampton and in the first Gulf War mission they are on a SEAD strike on Mosul Air defenses. The thing that calls my attention is that the 4 plane flight is two pairs of mixed composition, 1 F-4G and 1 F-16. I know the Hampton squadron was a mixed one back then, but why mixing both planes on a flight? Is the F-4G more capable as a SEAD aircraft? Thanks.

I tried the HTS pod in F4 BMS, no one knows the degree of realism that sim has but it gives the pilot a clear picture of what is around.
