lol then the world truly wouldn't be safe

Three words: External Hard Drive

I'm not trying to tit for tat that's for sure, but looking at it another way... The Super Hornet is what the Tomcat was lacking, but on other hand, the Super Hornet is lacking what the Tomcat had. So it's like a real no-win tradeoff. They really are polar opposites if you think about it as far as capabilities between the two.

It'll look alot better when I'm flying it

No comment.

Yeah that's what I figured after it not working after awhile, okay. Don't let the LOMACers see that..... Thing is that was the Israelis are just innovators about anything that has to do with blowing stuff up with bombs, so if we're going to argue that point, then only an Israeli F-15 should be allowed to drop iron bombs, nee USAF or other "C" versions.

That was the old one, when VF-31 was on the Forrestal (AJ101 that Ceaser was talking about). Vampyre sent me a few pictures of the 2005-06 Last Cruise on the TR, so I'm slowly working on it (moving about a bit so I have to get settled in) so that's what's in the works. And Typhoid... that was a good start to a weekend

Those are things, you just don't or didn't want to know...

From what I noticed when doing the Blue Angels skins, least with the column5 F/A-18A, is that it's actually part of the model, as well as an ini edit. I've tried that on other aircraft, but it may just be "hardcoded" for the AGM-65E and AGM-88C HARM. BTW Southernap, got any more pics you fee like sharing on Bugs? Or anything current?

lol you know with lobbies come with pundits, and also consultants, so okay fine, tomorrow I'll release what I have done I have some done Blue Angels skins, I've been lazy to finish them, so if you want them, I can let them go as I got other projects to worry about.

I know for the Crimean Air Wars mod for LOMAC there were some "Agressor" schemes developed for the Su-27 (they jigggered it, along with Russian a/c, to be on the USA side) and were done, but still when Marcfighter gets the remapped Su-27 done, I may do a few for the one Falcon161 did.

http://avia.russian.ee/gallery/picture.php?dir=g91&p=10 That's probably the best I can find. There's little information, and what information there is, isn't enough AFAIK. The FS3 has a downloadable (try google?) version with an Army Scheme, so that's probably your best bet.

Yeah that's the correct link, don't know why it's coming up with that stuff...

There's a good topic I found last night (Vampyre can probably tell you) on the Fighter Ops forums that Sundowner from Poland outlines some deficiencies (thrust to weight, speed of course critical) of the SH. I agree to the point that if it had a better speed and longer ranged armament, it could do the job as effective as the Tomcat. But that's pretty much what the SH is good for, bombing the bejeezus (okay, if the detractors are right, reach it) out of somebody, as it's got the space and pylons for it. Given the report from Carlo Kopp it sheds some more light on the subject. And a topic I read on the VNFA website pretty much said that the Navy needed something New NOW. The Tomcat will always be a fond memory, but when you're looking at basically spending alot of money to revamp a 1970s era aircraft to which parts are becoming scarce (factories aren't even producing the parts, at least some of them, and more than likely won't retool, and to update the fire control suite, you had to literally rewire it, and there wasn't any emphasis for that. They got enough money to at least get the LANTIRN pods for it, which I'm sure alot of grunts downrange are glad for), and you have to use scrap from AMARC, which adds to the bill. Instead you got the bean counters saying "Hey this plane, it's not as great as the Tomcat, it saves money and furthermore, it's rolling off the assembly line, and we don't have to search the whole planet for spares." Plus pilots like the reliability, so that's more planes in the air, and etc. etc. About the only mission I would say in somewhat defense of the SH, is that Tomcat never could to airborne refuelling, or at least perform the tanker role which was of course lost when the KA-6D was retired too. Could they have modified Tomcats? Of course, but that didn't happen. Sure the SH needs more fuel, but nobody (not even the Navy bean counters) wanted to improve the Tomcat either, as it itself was a victim of politics. I mean we can always like or hate the SH, and forever love the Tomcat, but whatever we think, the US Navy made it's decision, right or wrong, and we just have to live with their decision.

least it wasn't a porn site!

But given the fact it will be updated, I'll pause this project as well. I got another Tomcat (a couple really) that I need to get busy on, so when Marcfighter uploads his revised Flanker, then I'll continue.

Great site!

*bump*

lol I think squinting in the dark is preferable... And I thought I had alot of time on my hands..

Well since you bring that up, it has been a minute since I owned it too...

Well so far the only thing that's given me issues was around the radome where the fuselage meets it. Other than that it's worked out fine for me. But that's cool to see what happens. Oh yeah the area around the intakes gave me a little annoyance, but still got it working fine

Thanks!
