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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Well in fact the author was training as Viper Wild Weasel pilot already in 1989 in a mixed squadron together with F-4G at SP. On the mission both kind of planes are using HARM against SA-2 and SA-3, and any mobile SAM they encounter. Is nice how he uses one HARM as a quick reaction weapon in order to make the SAM operators turn off the radar. I'm still reading it. Great book!! BTW I also think the F4G should be a better SEAD platform, at least as a leader/hunter role, the dedicated guy on the backseat and the specific equipment carried should make the G Phantom a SEAD AC to be feared. Wish Osprey launch a book about those guys.

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.

Salvadorean Magisters? Will like to see more of them.
