Just added P-51 to the collection, and maybe CA next week.

If you need any A-10 detail photos, please send me a PM :)

Can't tell you how many F-111s I've augered in...

Are you looking for general info, or something specific to a model for Strike Fighters?

Happy birthday dude!

Those things take up some serious ramp/hangar space.

And what are "combat Support Operations"??

Delivering toilet paper and beer.

I saw their/his website a few months ago, and it does look affordable. Hopefully once we get moved and established in the house I'll be able to get one :)

REFORGER

'Heavy Hittin' Hawg' Mod:

Looks like I'll have to get that after the move!

I might have to use one of those for the desktop!

Argh, still having the issue. I'l post it over at TW, maybe some light can be shed.

I had to re-download all of my installers (now the Jun '12 versions).

Upon trying to install SF2, it hangs up on the twGamExplorer.exe.

Anyone else having and issue with this?

Never mind, it just took an hour or two.

Fired up NF4+ for the first time in awhile. Took an F-105D against a steel mill and ran right into a SAM site. These two pics show the missile inbound. Not sure how, but I didn't get a scratch.

As I have limited skills (and time), I might be able to help beta test.....

But if you have any reference questions, please ask!

JB

As its based on my model,I ll dig it out and post it up.

NO kidding!

Tell Sheila congratulations and THANK YOU!!!

Good job on the shadow box!

Happy Birthday guys!

Happy Birthday man!

Carrying this over from the SF1 KB...

When dealing with military a/c, several types of fuels have been used throughout the years, and each has it's own density. Depending on how in-depth you want to be with your a/c or drop tanks, here are the service years, branches, and densities for jet fuels:

JP-4 Density = 6.5 lb/gal (1951 - 1995, Primarily used by the USAF)

JP-5 Density = 6.8 lb/gal (1952 - Present; projected to 2025, Primarily used by the USN, and other navies)

JP-7 Density = 6.6 lb/gal (used by the SR-71)

JP-8 Density = 6.7 lb/gal (1996 - Present, Primarily used by the USAF)

Jet-A Density = 6.70 lb/gal (used by civil turbines)

*These densities are for a temp of 15 degrees C / 59 degrees F. (API density)

Example:

1x F-111 External 600gal Tank holds 3900lbs [600 x 6.5 = 3900] of JP-5 (I'm using JP-4 since that's what was in service at that time).

Now, to insert the fuel weight into the game, it must be converted from pounds to kilograms:

3900 (lbs.) x.45 = 1755 (kgs).

Once you've converted the weight, insert it into the 'Capacity' box in the 'Fuel Tank Data' section in the weapons editor.

Depending on what your references are, you may get your fuel capacities in gallons, or pounds or both (or in metric is applicable). Second to having a full breakdown of fuel capacities, I prefer gallons since you can just multiply by the density, and then convert to kilograms.

Below is a file with some fuel capacities to get you on your way. If you have any information, please PM me as I'm compiling a list.

I seriously doubt that squadrons or airwings changed ships while deployed. Too many things to move. Now, once the cruise ended, and the next cycle came up, I'm sure that many ships were changed depending on what was available.

Tomcat! is awesome book. Had it since '97

Dave, Otto, Caesar,

PM me if you need any info for your F-14 mods :)

Looks like I've got everything set for now!
