ARR that's looking good matey! -
What flight sim has the best modeling of ECM?
EricJ replied to TheChief2000's topic in Military and General Aviation
AFAIK JF-18 models the ALE-50 so far. Even LOMAC didn't have any sort of decoy system. Pity but oh well. -

Music Pack for FE
EricJ replied to Longestpants's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yes. Most of it is especially from music download sites. -
Is it me or the F-16XL slow as hell? I took it through the Northwest map and it just seemed like it was lethargic. Took the ZA-9 out and had fun. I know it's not frame rates... but is the speed correct on the F-16XL?

Slow lane?
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Yeah... it must fly into the engines as well. But still cool to fly though. But it should still move a little bit faster than that, due to the higher altitude. -

Okay, thanks! -

EricJ replied to aleks's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Just a friendly note aleks, don't type your literal email address. Spambots roam the internet and find email addresses, and spam you, so if you did what russouk2004 did, or what I edited, it helps to cut down the crap in the inbox.... -
JAS 39C Gripen Progress
EricJ replied to Gux's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah man it's about clogging up the server. Nothing wrong with exposure per se, as it's very nice indeed. I may fly some more WoE just for that bird , but overall the emoticons aren't too bad due to the very low filesize, though one forum.... yah the little area for the emoticons was a bit out of control if I do say myself, so it's all good man And same goes for you Atraiedes. Us moderators are doing things left and right, so the less time it takes to edit out images, it's not our whole responsibility. It's yours as well. -

What'd be cool if y'all would move it to the Aviation Forum where such talk belongs. Keep it on topic about the mod, not comparisons. -
Anyone interested in Yukikaze aircraft?
EricJ replied to Shin_kazama's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
If you go here, you'll see it's also may be available for ArmA as well. Matter of fact a project I'm working on I would like to snag his ejection seats..... http://www.ofpsacac.net/ I'd have to say flying the Wyvern was fun, too back Naoroki (think that was his handle on the OFP forums) stopped working on it, or just dissapeared, dunno.... -
Rafale M will operate in USS Eisenhower
EricJ replied to Silverbolt's topic in Military and General Aviation
There was a USN article on that earlier this year, with some (maybe the same, wasn't looking specifically for that shot now). But I got a really awesome shot of a Rafale touching and going on a carrier (think it was the Enterprise, not sure though) so this is just official I guess. Screw it, it's the Holiday season! -

Why Superhornets for the RAAF? Official DOD position
EricJ replied to MiGMasher's topic in Military and General Aviation
Plus the Super Hornet buy adds some stuff: - Tanker capability (ARS pod)/support. It's also a save-money scheme since legacy Hornets use the probe and drogue system, whereas the boom system, used only by the USAF with the obvious exception of the RAAF F-111s. Australia really can't deploy F-111s all the time since on probably average deployed tankers were mixed fuel probe/boom system, and then again, when has the RAAF deployed F-111s in support of any NATO led operation?. Plus you can utilize all aircraft in support of NATO operations because everybody else uses the drogue system. While the Super Hornet isn't the best, it's fast becoming more taskable than just a strike or just plain fighter. People tend to get stuck in one plane, one mission syndrome. Besides, why deploy an expensive KC-135 (or whatever they use) for a training op when you can task out a Super Hornet or two? I mean this isn't the Cold War, countries like to be able to get more bang for the buck. And as SayWhat?! mentioned, it's easier to train legacy Hornet pilots because overall yes, the SH is newer, it's similar in training or an "advancement" program which doesn't require too much additional training, which is required for any new fighter = save money. - It's a bomb truck yes, but the F-111 can't carry a few LGBs, a fuel tank, and a couple HARMs, and self defense missiles at the same time. Sure the Super Hornet is never going to match the range or power, but I don't know about you, you can do more with less especially if your plane you're flying can carry more. This isn't Vietnam, it's the 21st century, so conceivably, the Super Hornet could do it's mission, but doesn't require a total escort package, a SEAD package, and a whole airforce to bomb one bridge. Again it's 2007, not 1977. Plus you can argue about the Popeye... couldn't you figure out how integrate it on the Super Hornet? And for the argument sake of clearance issues, the F-4 IIRC can carry them, so can the Super Hornet. Besides, the Super Hornet has a better chance of getting to the target than the Aardvark. - It's new. Sure I don't know what the USN mechanics think of the Super Hornet, but like the F-14, it's old, old and just old. Sure they were great aircraft, but they're old. -

As well as Mr. Bean, which was better as the show rather than the movie, then again, the movie wasn't bad either. Anyways back on topic, any progress? -
Rant on
EricJ replied to HrntFixr's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Just a counterpoint, 3DSMax isn't something you can buy right off the street and for a cheap price. I mean seriuosly, not many people can shell out a few thousand to get the latest 3D software.. Yes there are torrents, limited use copies (which by the way lasts for a month, so little time to learn what so many already do), but that's of dubiousness in itself, so it's not a valid complaint. However, you can save up, since the average burger flipper makes more than me anyways, so he or she would take a few months, wheareas I'd have to deploy and get shot at, blown up or severely injured to get the kind of money the average worker gets (hell my Mom is going to get $12.50 an hour for pushing pens!), or save for a few years, and by then, it'd still be too expensive. So yah it's all good, but remember sometimes most of the gamers can't also get a job because they're usually under 18. -

Keep it on topic and while Silverbolt has issues with spelling, it's not for us to totally make fun of him.
