Just some more updates, just so you all know, for the AMRAAM double rails, once the second missile is fired, the pylons eject. I'm sure you can add a line or so to prevent that? And adding a personal touch to my bird.

I've had to actually start doing that, as the DS map.... too much Red Air, and I can manage three more, just as long as I arm them correctly. Trying to do a strike mission with a half-brained wingnut who doesn't cover your six (good pointer, started noticing that quite alot he's not doing jack for me), but I can at least have a dedicated escort flight rather than hoping they get cycled on the map....

That's a great idea

I think the first word out of my mouth seeing that thumbnail was "whoa" and proceeded to the download page

She's not that bad to fly, very responsive, and you can tell the difference between the E,F, and especially the G model's FM. JAT81500 did a real good job with the FM. Some issues before but much better now. Can't say offhand if it's anywhere near the real thing, but it's good enough And Jarhead1 and JAT81500 say it's alot easier trapping on a carrier so shouldn't be too bad. Finished the VFA-14 skin:

Touching down after a recce over Iraq

More work on the VFA-14 skin, just have to add the "VFA-14" and she'll be ready to go. I may go ahead and do the CAG as well, since Dave hooked me up with a very nicely scanned decal set he bought so since he went through so much trouble, I gotta do this one. On a release note, passed it around, and the FMs for all the birds were updated (the F was, but JAT81500 caught the mistakes) and FC is still going to tweak the ALE-50 some more so it'll be soon, but not real soon

lol definitely a "Hornet" skin!

Nice shots as usual Silverbolt, and serverandenforcer, looking effin awesome

Thanks! Got some tweaks. Pushed the Sidewinders a bit forward, got the Anti-Ship loadout started, and working on a VFA-14 Tophatters skin.

No it's not confirmed... yet, just that trying to do last minute tweaks and other assorted stuff before it is ready.

True enough, I bring the wingnut with me too, but since I have no confidence in his ability, I just carry most of the stuff myself, and depending on the map, he's also my cover while I shoot. At times he's worked out, but I guess I need to get my pilots more experience, which is my problem I guess.

Cool, ALT+D works too

I get that problem too, and the best thing is to load a couple Shrikes or STARMS and some bombs along with it. I did the same mission on The Range map (well it's customized) so I only had AAA as my targets, but I dropped on all of them and got a mission successful. So the gist is bomb everything around the waypoint until Red Crown says "mission complete"

Well it's not too far off so okay

Yes they do

Looking pretty good actually, makes the plane look much much better

Oh trust me I am man,

I may download this one.. the mountains and textures sold me

I think I got a taste of that last night on a strike mission on the DS map. I had gotten the ALE-50 deployed, and was taking missiles from a flight of Su-27s, so I'm really not sure if it works against so much A2A missiles, more like ground launched, maybe do to the "power" of the radar being used, how it reacts to the environment. Needless to say I got shot down but I think that was a good test try on that angle as far as air launched vs. ground launched missiles. Then again, thinking about the issue... I know I still had some dead to rights shots at me, I mean four against two, so maybe it did work, just that I wasn't really in an evaluation mood On a more other note, JAT81500 has given me the CVW-8 textures... so realistically we're at the tweak phase, the only stopper right now is the ALE-50 "does it work" issue, but unless anybody on the team objects, once JAT81500 does his rudder position at takeoff fix (somehow disappeared) I would really say it's almost ready to go?

Mud Moving. It's just more exciting dropping a bomb, launching a missile after flying through mountains at near Mach 1, dodging SAMs, AAA, it just seems more "livelier" than getting in constant knife fights. And like above, my first was F-15E Strike Eagle, but my real "first" was EF2000, just too good.

And Jarhead1, you may need to clean out your inbox, as Vampyre is saying that your inbox is full....

Minor update, adding the step area on the right side, according to Vampyre, since the US Navy is implementing them on all aircraft.

Of course you can! Just remember to make note that this is his terrain you're basing it off of.
