Wings over vietnam
Pete replied to Pete's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Cheers Mate Have downloaded 1,2,3,F4J phantom & F104 patches. Just waiting for the postman to bring it tomorrow.The graphics look good & strike fighters gold has had good reviews. All the best Pete :) -
I put this to my PILOT mate about Navel Aviators.He had the choice when he finished basic training Fast jet or Harrier.He Said he would have liked to be a navy Pilot but gets a bit sea sick & theres no glory in it.But being a Royal Airforce Pilot in a fast jet flying for the greatest airforce in the world / on a par with the USAF. Also he has said he owns a little cessna so there may be some truth in what you say.But has no wishes to fly a C17 although the RAF have a few.Allthough he has said he admires you guy's who land on carriers its not the easiest job in the world. If he had the choice of what to fly he said he wouldn't entertain the super hornet its a bag of crap.He would liked to fly F8 crusader a mans machine.

Cheers Mate Have ordered strike fighters Gold from an UK site,& heave downloaded all the patches including F104 from Game spot Uk site.Will order Wings Over Vietnam when I get back from holiday.Its a bit exspensive ordering from the states its going to cost me around $50 to have it shipped here including the game.Will the add-on aircraft in file announcements be compatable with strike fighjters gold.

Wings over vietnam
Pete replied to Pete's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Hi guys I'm well pissed off,Just had an e-mail from amazon & they can't deliver wings over vietnam to the uk.So I'll have to order strike fighters gold (a new name for strike fighters project 1) I assume instead. Lifes a bitch,Then you marry one,Then you Die. Cheers Pete -

Wings over vietnam
Pete replied to Pete's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Cheers mate Found one on amazon,Have ordered it,Is it an add-on to strike fighters project 1 or is it a stand alone game. Thanx again Pete :) -
The Vulcan is a graceful old lady.But she could still kick ass if required.The Victor is also a nice old aircraft but unfortunatley there are no plans to get one flying again.That would be a treat.Its a shame in the UK the CAA don't let the bucks & lightnings fly here,I guess i'll have to head to south africa.Got relatives that live just over the boarder in Botswana,Will have to pay them a visit.Did you like the 558 wallpaper would make a calender.(hint)

This navy aviator (AIRDALE) should stick driving his boat.Screen shot I prepared for you earlier.It's a cracking freeware item but i'm sticking with USAF PILOTS.

So a naval aviator is someone who flies a plane with an anchor for brakes. Who didn't make the grade to join USAF or RAF etc.To call them self a Pilot. A friend of mine calls himself a Pilot he dosn't fly a cessna or a C17 he flies a Tornado GR3 and is based in the gulf at the moment.He's proud to call himself A Royal Airfoce PILOT.Not an RAF Aviator.

Sorry about missing those aircraft.Although I also like the Vought A-7 Corsair. Also Royal Navy aircraft like the sea Vixen,Seafire,& not forgetting the Harrier until the yanks got hold of it & F--ked it up. Anyway I thought a navy pilot was one that didn't qualify for USAF,& fly real aircraft like B-1b's & F15's. Cheers Pete

You can't beat the classics mate. I saw German F4's at an airshow a couple of years they stole the show.FANTASTIC Iv'e only seen F8 crusaders the once at the International air tattoo Fairford about 10years ago but they were very impressive.Unfortunatly that was the year the 2 mig 29's collieded luckilly no one was killed.

I take it you don't like the Super Hornet.It must pretty bad for RAAF to fly them. Bring back the English Electric Lightning a proper piece of kit which would give any yanky aircraft a run for its money.The only 2 decent carrier based aircraft that america has produced is the F4 Phantom/f8 Crusader in my opion thats quality. A blast from the past where all the skill was with the pilot & his support staff. Cheers Pete

Go for a 6800GT mate Mine runs sweet.Its worth the extra pennies

Hi Chaps I never intended this debate to get this far out of hand.I was only promoting a very good piece of freeware issued with this months PC Pilot magzine. I don't know much about american aviation.But reading the replies in this forum the navy boys who haved worked on both aircraft seem to prefer the F18 Hornet. Lets face it the F14 Tomcat was good in its day but now its time to stand it down for a better bit of kit.You lads think yourself lucky you havn't got the eurofighter Typhoon now thats a pile of crap.Slowly replacing decent aircraft like Tornado F3's. They say thats progress but what do I Know.I drive express trains for a living. Cheers All the best Pete PS Enjoy the freeware :) :)

Patches and NO CD
Pete replied to a topic in IL-2 Series / Pacific Fighters / Cliffs of Dover: General Discussion
I agree with you mate. Iv'e hunted the net for a no cd patch for pacific fighters.But I don't think there is one avaliable yet.I too like you have all the original disc's anyway you can pick up Pacific Fighters for under £20 these days. Cheers Pete PS Have all the skinners gone on holiday.We havn't had anything for along time, I had a go myself but the results were s--t. -
Hi Mate It's an ugly beast is the Victor,Sort of thing you wake up next to when you've had too many beers the night before.Hey we still love her.It's a shame we havn't got a flying Victor however weve got the next best thing XH558 Delta Lady the Vulcan B2 which should be flying next year hopefully.If anyone wants to visit the vulcan website theres some nice freebies & we need as much support as possible. Address www.vulcan558club.com Cheers Pete
