  1. Bunyap's original KB & A/C wiki. http://bunyap2w1.com/SFP1_Wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Look for the aircraft data to be imported to this site in the coming months! :)
  2. Are you looking to download a patch, or use the built in updater?
  3. Key Publishing has produced, with full support and cooperation of the RAF, an Official Souvenir Issue. http://www.keypublishing.com/specials/ and on a related note.... http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/coolnewstuff/...x?StoryID=51690
  4. I think there were alsore reports of the kc-135's towing the thuds for some distance as well because they were so low...
  5. Range often gets confused with combat radius. Range is more for a ferry flight (just going in one direction) whereas combat radius is how far you can go with stores and get back to base (there AND back). Wkikipedia (a notably unreliable source, but it still gives a good example) has, for the F-105D, a ferry RANGEof 2210nm, and a combat RADIUS of 780nm. I don't remember if WOV models the tanks there were carried inside the bomb bay, so you may need to check that (should be listed as an internal tank, and it probably is, TK's good about that). I'm sure some of the modders will chime in on this one with more detailed explanation. In the TW series you don't need to worry about switching tanks, only about jettisoning the ones that are empty :) If I'm doing a full mission, typically I'll take off, and once I'm in the climb, I'll clean up and take it back to MIL power. Climb as high as you can, but not excessively. I'll then go to WING LEVELER and cruise to the waypoints. Hope this helps! :)
  6. I think it was Yugo - Checho - you name it Slavia area. So most likely it was the 15th. I think a major general was one of the victims in the incident as well.
  7. If you can find a burner that also supports dual layers (DL), get that. Target sells a 3pack of DL's for about $7 (at least the one up here near Hookset). The DL's hold 8.5 gigs.
  8. Big J strikes again! Damn, what else are you working one!?!?!
  9. I read an article some years back that a US squadron (P-38's I think) strafed and bombed an enemy column really well. It turns out that they were Russian. The pilots had the right idea, just about one or two years early....
  10. nice TARPS!
  11. Both of those videos where easter eggs on the Fighter Fling DVD's. Good stuff!
  12. Try this one guys... no Barons here... http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm?action=go...&obj_id=983
  13. Glad to hear that you found it! Modding is just like everything else, the more you do it, the more you understand it! :)
  14. 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).
  15. Which has more? The smilies in this thread, or the amount of candles on Dave's cake?
  16. just remap it to shift+esc or something like that :)
  17. Hope you're able to head down to The Strangebrew and have a good pint!
  18. I'm speech/type-less!!! :)
  19. Looks like EOD is gonna be busy.

    SHACK!

    Double Shack attack!
  21. "Good morning Lt., this is Maureen with On Star. Who would you like to bomb today?"
  22. Very nice! I'll be sure to grab them when I put FE back on ! :)
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
