Thats the one! Nice!

Cheers mate

Is there a modern French Mirage F-1 Skin kicking around somewhere?

Stupid question but when we prepare the mods folder before installing do we delete the contents of the aircraft and ground objects folders? I know it is normally the case to do so but I ask as it doesn’t specifically say to do it.

"Learn to test; test to learn".

Upgrading the old TMF F-16 models with the excellent ones done recently by the Viper Team. I’m using the F-16AM_DEN.LOD with the searchlight removed for the Kiwi F-16AM Block 15 MLU. For the Kiwi pre MLU F-16A Block 15 OCU I'm still using the same F-16AM_DEN.LOD but with all the MLU upgrade nodes removed etc. I’ve also been able to make a new high res all over grey skin with the templates that have been released:

Royal New Zealand Air Force ‘Operation Guardian Kahu (Hawk)’ F-16AM deployment to Kandahar International Airport early 2014...

No I haven’t even started on the campaigns. All I have is the base mods folder with all the relevant aircraft, ground objects, effects, sounds, flight folder, pilots, decals, weapons, guns etc. I just figured if someone was thinking about doing some OEF campaigns this would save them a lot of time and work. As it is now it works perfectly for single missions over Afghanistan.

God yes!!! haha I don't have it but I don't think so as you will have to make one from scratch with the Afghan terrain etc

Great job guys

Hay guys. I have built a campaign specific install/ mods folder for Operation Enduring Freedom. It has all the aircraft, weapons, ground objects etc required. There are over 80 aircraft with all their service years set for their different deployment dates and all their loadouts all set for CAS over Afghanistan etc. Most of the pilots and ground objects have been repainted with desert uniforms/ camo etc. I intended to make a campaign for it but just don’t have the time to learn how and do it. If someone is interested in having a crack let me know and I’ll send you what I have put together. Cheers, Dan.

Love it!

Cool idea

Could you please post the drop tank templates to?

Cheers MigBuster, Looks worthwhile from your screenshots. How does the realism and level of complexity compare to Jane’s F-15 and F/A-18?

I feel like a break from strike fighters 2 and was wondering how Falcon 4.0 compares? I know the realism is far more advanced but what about graphics etc? The only other flight Sims I've played for years are Microsoft flight sim x and Jane's F-15/18 before I got a new pc

Out of curiosity any Plans to do the block 60 E/F?

I don’t have any reference other than what’s on the net but it sounds like 331Killerbee will trump all that anyway! Lol. I have been using the Kfir pit as a stand in with the A-7D HUD symbols and the ARBS camera screen from the AV-8. From what 331Killerbee has said we’re pretty much there once we have a pit, which as he said, is just an A-4F pit with a HUD and straight windscreen struts. I have already worked out the new view angles from a Douglass document that had a diagram with the percentage increase in view over the earlier Skyhawks with the smaller canopy.

Now that we have some good ‘fake pilot’ mods to create the A-4M/N style larger canopy are any of the cockpit gurus out there interested in creating an A-4M/N cockpit to complete the mod? Cheers, Dan.

Nice Job love "what if' upgraded Skyhawks!

The A-4N Ahits were using the AIM-9B and D in 1973 for self defence. Obviously the US Emergency Aid A-4E and F Skyhawks were AIM-9D capable as there have come straight from the US Navy. The stock TW loadout for the A-4F Ahit also used the AIM-9D. I have not seen a specific reference source saying they did carry them in 1973 but I think on the balance of probabilities they certainly could have.

A Kiwi order for Phantoms soon followed the RAAFs...
