  1. Mission: OCA Strike against Omidiyeh AB Assets: 1 x Strike Aircraft (F/A-18F) and 2 x Escort (F/A-18F) Target: Omidieh AB Runway AFter leaving Ali Al Salem AB at 2107 Local NE101 proceeded to target area. After ten minutes of flight NE101 detected two enemy aircraft coming from Shiraz AB. NE101 directed Escort flight to maintain their route in case of further engagement by enemy aircraft. NE101 engaged both hostile aircraft (determined to be F-5s) with AMRAAMs and destroyed both aircraft. After engagement NE101 proceeded north to Omidiyeh AB, releasing two GBU-31s, damaging the runway. All assigned aircraft for mission returned to Ali Al Salem without further incident. NOTE: There is an obvious inconsistency between the AAR and the actual game result. The first F-5 probably over compensated breaking his jet, giving the appearance of "a kill" when I only killed one F-5
  2. No worries Good to go on the downloads, awaiting mission.
  3. And here's the F-14A Iran skins with thanks from Sundowner for the decals, folders are arranged so you can drag and drop. Also is the basic "HAWK AAM" that is specific for the aircraft for those who are interested NOTE: I didn't realize Wrench made a special set for the TFBs so maybe I'll look at them later and fix the issue as we were working two different projects. F-14A Iran.7z HawkAAM.7z
  4. Decals are pretty much final, and I think I've done enough for these skins. The early camo was for an earlier project so I decided to revisit it with the decalling.
  5. I think your post here is enough man, the amount of files so far is quite a lot as it is, which is why I'm uploading it here, and not pestering Wrench about adding a couple things.
  6. I should be finished with the Iranian Toms tomorrowish so I'll upload that here as a separate addition since it was started later than normal.
  7. Well as said there's scant information on the whole thing so I made it one HUGE Sparrow missile (which from what I gather it was anyways) so when I get finished (which won't be long really). Mit Sundowner's decals from his own skin (still have to ask permission but did get that working correctly)
  8. Progress, couldn't resist with the rumor with the HAWKs... still trying to get them to work sorta...
  9. Probably won't be for a long time, but if I'm in Denmark... More work, getting closer to being done.
  10. TO: JFC SHAPE FROM: VFA-2 ALL ELEMENTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, MOVING TO MOPP 2 POSTURE
  11. I thought I did one for the newer MF bird but I did an early scheme... guess I gotta break out the paintbrush...
  12. Extract teh HUDData.ini and do this: [Debug] DisplayDebug=TRUE When you get in-game you will see a lot of the debugging data that TW uses (as well as me, Wrench, and others), pause the game, use CTRL+F12 and "fly" to the location. It'll display the coordinates of where the crosshair is pointing at and you can do your routes that way. Of course you have to be careful where you're pointing as you'll get a wrong coordinate. It goes away after pressing ALT+D for regular gaming (I usually leave it on for the Afghan map but just haven't turned it off).
  13. Naturlich Which is what I'm basing my argument on, as I'm thinking 9X/IRIS-T than 9L...
  14. Me: F/A-18F w/ 1 x ATFLIR, 4 x GBU-12, 3 x AIM-9X, 2 x AIM-120C, one tank, full gun (plus Escort flight) Opposition: 4 x Mirage F1 w/ 2 x IRIS-T and 2 x Super 530F and one tank Was doing a strike on Kharg Island when on the overhead map it showed a flight of four Mirage F1s heading Southwest. So once I got in range I opened up with one AMRAAM since it looked like where I was going, they were going too. It flew true, however only damaging the lead F1 (or one of them anyway) forcing him to turn into me. After watching him and realizing he wasn't shot down, I fed him another AMRAAM, this time it hitting him nose on. One of his buddies locked me up and shot a Matra Super 530 at me, missing due to jinking. Seeing another Mirage coming in (perhaps it was the same one) I targeted him and fed him an AIM-9X, after jinking around and getting my bearings (Bermuda Triangle Syndrome, it was foggy and when pulling G's I nearly blacked out, disorienting me until I got oriented properly) after getting disoriented, I turned into the Mirage, feeding him a 9X. He ate that one as he was turning into me and another one fired an IRIS-T at me and only damaging me, but I was still flying. I targeted him and fed him my second to last 9X but it went Stoopid so I fired my last one. By this time my escort birds were in the vicinity so it got real interesting (the only two screenshots below) when I heard a Fox Two call (pucker factor way up) but the last 9X hit and the escort bird got the coup de grace as I only hit the Mirage. I did try some half-hearted attempt at gunning him down but I think it just scared him (noticed that with an F-4 one time) before he was killed. Takeaways? Since this was more of a mission oriented DACT it pays to focus on what matters first and where you are and to also be aware of your surroundings, and again when facing multiple opponents, move move move. Attention to detail is important when targeting and letting loose IR homers in the vicinity (and them letting them loose in the vicinity of you). But it shows that some sort of tactical patience works and rapid target acquisition and termination are the keys to success.
  15. Water images have to be 256 colors in order to work but here's my working file. LIBYA_WATER.zip
