Glad to hear that you found it! Modding is just like everything else, the more you do it, the more you understand it! :)

I'm not trying to be a smart alec or anything, but did you happen to read the 'read me' file that came with the file? (90% of the mods come with a readme file).

Which has more? The smilies in this thread, or the amount of candles on Dave's cake?

Good job!

just remap it to shift+esc or something like that :)

Hope you're able to head down to The Strangebrew and have a good pint!

I'm speech/type-less!!! :)

Looks like EOD is gonna be busy.

"Good morning Lt., this is Maureen with On Star. Who would you like to bomb today?"

Very nice! I'll be sure to grab them when I put FE back on ! :)

Back in June of 06, I was at a similar crossroads. I had enjoyed my X-45, but wanted to upgrade. The two finalists were the TM Cougar and the CH line. I went with the Cougar, but I'm now looking to go CH. Here's some insight to the Cougar: Complex Programing Expensive mods (they are worth it, but really expensive) PITA customer support (as found out by others) Possible design flaw/final assembly problem (metal on metal contact with no lubrication with wears down the gimbal, and produces metal filings that dump out) I've heard that the CH items are MUCH easier to use, and cost a little bit less. Now, the Cougar is an exact replica of the F-16 controls, but as far as gaming goes, I'd go with the CH.

SrA Steven Doty KUNSAN AIR BASE, South Korea - Pilots, maintainers and ammunition Airmen at Kunsan Air Base have been introduced recently to a new generation weapon that changes air-to-air combat. The Air Intercept Missile-9X Sidewinder, developed by Raytheon engineers, is a fifth generation AIM-9 missile that is a substantial upgrade to the Sidewinder family featuring an advanced infra-red seeker and a higher off-boresight capability. In January, members of the 80th Fighter Squadron swapped out older Block 30 F-16 Fighting Falcons for newer Block 40 F-16s from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. These jets have the capability to carry the AIM-9X. "Combined with the Block 40 F-16s we received from Alaska, these missiles add an even greater combat capability to our mission at Kunsan," said Capt. Nicolas Evans, the 80th Fighter Squadron chief of weapons and tactics. The AIM-9X Sidewinder is an important attribute to the 80th FS as it is compatible with the recently integrated Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System. Combined with the JHMCS, a pilot can control the AIM-9X missile by simply looking at a target offered through the new technology. Together, the two systems are more effective in the sky. "The AIM-9X provides greater survivability against air threats, as it will allow 80th FS pilots the ability to engage enemy aircraft even faster than before," he said. Offensively, the weapon will assure pilots have the ability to project the necessary power to ensure dominant maneuver. In the defensive counter-air role, the missile system will provide a key capability for force protection. As with any new system or advancement, there are a number of training requirements to maintain, load or employ that advancement in order to ensure maximum effectiveness. "Since the AIM-9X arrived, we have been training (Airmen) rapidly in order to increase the number of Airmen qualified to maintain, load and employ this weapon," Captain Evans said.

Can't wait to add that to the motor pool! :)

I've got a guy who's a Hawg driver. I'll ask him if he can pass along any non- OPSEC stuff.

I'm in agreement with Warlord ( and USAF, and others). While the number of airframes needing work is on a need to know basis (and you/we don't need to know), the point is that our service men and women need to get their tools fixed so that they can do their jobs.

That must of taken a bit of skill on the part of both the flight and ground crews.

Can't wait for this one. I'll be flying alot more for the Red Team :)
