  1. Delta Dart F.1 in Royal Air Force Service
  2. I reckon! Amazing that Falcon eye HMD was developed in the late 80's but a HMD aka JHMCS wasn't in widespread use on western fighters till the 2000's. The mission terrain map stored in the A-16 mission computer was so accurate that air-to-ground weapons could be deployed with the radar off with no slant range information etc and the CEP was only about 5-10 meters larger!
  3. It was called 'falcon eye' It was an infrared camera slaved to the pilots helmet which had a helmet mounted display. Basically anywhere the pilot looked at night he would see the world in infrared. It was developed in the late 80's. The CAS A-16 also had a digital terrain system that provided a terrain following capability with the mission terrain map stored in the aircraft mission computer which tracked the aircraft's location via GPS and INS. Forward air controllers could also automatically hand off targets to the A-16 mission computer via data link. Targets, weapon delivery information, way points and terrain warnings would all be displayed in the falcon eye HMD. Its sitting on my computer I just have to put it all together to upload when I get some time. I added it to the NATO Fighters 5 1986 campaign which has been a lot of fun to fly in. It could be added as a 'what if' to the Desert Storm mod to...

    Harrier GR.3 Trial Camouflage schemes. As part of the Harrier II GR.7 development a new two tone green and a two tone grey camouflage pattern were trialled on two of the RAF’s GR.3 Harriers. The Green scheme was chosen for the GR.7 as it was thought to be the most suitable in the low level European cold war environment. However the GR.7 soon switched to the grey scheme with the change to medium level tactics. Combatace fair use agreement applies. Instillation: Simply drop in your mods folder. Will work with the stock Harrier GR.3 and my GR.3 (82) Falklands War Modified: http://combatace.com/files/file/12988-sf2-harrier-gr3-82-falklands-war-modified/ Credits: Thirdwire.

    Typo: replace every GR.7 with GR.5 lol

  8. I have been playing around with the Polish Mig-29 doing some Baltic air policing lol. But I to am not overly happy with the in game performance of the R-73 so I have been doing some research on how well it actually preformed. From what I have found it should preform better than the AIM-9L/M (wider FOV etc) and I have found a few references stating the west didn't have anything to match it until the Python 4 was developed. So in terms of SF2 the data.ini needs to be slightly changed to reflect slightly better performance figures than the AIM-9M and equal to the Python 4 (available in one of the Team Viper Israeli packs).
  9. Re-done the Air Defense Grey skin as a two tone grey instead of an all over grey.
  10. No problem, decals are all stock TW Lightning ones so you can select any RAF Lightning Squadron markings. Might do a RAF licence built Dart with a Sprey engine and twin 30mm gun pod. I tested the Firestreak and Redtop missiles in the Darts weapon bay but they are to big to fit.
  11. Years ago when I set my current PC up I researched getting the best performance out of it etc. I found out that Norton was one of the worst ant-viruses to have in terms of affecting game performance. One of the best is reportedly Avast (which also happen to be free). I made the switch and have used Avast ever since. I found that out from a Microsoft Flight Simulation X (FSX) forum in a master post dedicated to getting the best out of your PC to run FSX.
  12. God if only!!!! Iv'e often though to myself a version of the Tornado that was a hybrid of the GR.4 and ADV variant along the same lines as the F-15E Strike Eagle would make a good what if.
  13. They used them for the first few days of operations and then ditched them for cluster bombs. The gun pods were extremely inaccurate as the force of them firing skewed thier attachment to the weapon pylon all over the place. Adding to that was the fact the software modification to display a correct CCIP hadn't been done. The best they could make use of the gun pod was as an area weapon apparently but like I said it wasn't used for very long. http://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article18.html Back to the 'what if' Fulda senario, what CBU would be the most likely used by the USAF in Europe in the late 80's/ early 90's? CBU-100?
  14. Modified AIM-120C specifically for the F-22 and F-35 that drops from the weapons bay and then engages its engine. Had to make it not rail launched and put a delay on the booster start so hence had to make it station specific for just the F-22 and F-35. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVkqrkA8KnU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVbqiy77aeU
  15. It's ejected downward just like on the F-22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVkqrkA8KnU
  16. Haha so it is!............ .......Fixed!!!!!
  17. RNZAF A-4K and DRAKEN vid

    Nice find, the ausies were always a bit sore over losing their Skyhawks and then having to lease them back
  18. To increase your engagement ranges use the mission editor to move the waypoint directly before the objective waypoint five or so times as far away from the objective waypoint that game puts it. This is the waypoint you jump to when you time jump. Do it for every flight of aircraft, yours and enemy.
