Now we are totally getting into opions here somewhat :) My boss who is ex special forces and has participated in countless operations and engagements told me that after all his years at Red Flag/Green Flag the ballziest pilots were the West Germans and RAF,simply because for the most part they dont necessarily follow all the operational rules that the US follows. One time on a very very cloudy day Flight Ops were cancelled. He was with a crew of a few people in a ZSU-22 I think it was and they got radio comm, that there were 6 bogies at about 5000 ft, which was strange because they were at six... so they got out and about 6 RAF Tornados were about 10 ft off the ground pasing under power lines! He did say however if there ever was an Eject distress call it was most likley from the West Germans or the RAF. Interesting!

This is true.... Just like the F-117, F-16 and many others... The future of fighter design is in instability... If you read some of DARPA's projects for an advanced UCAV of fighter proprtions , with a lack of human pilot and placement of vernier (spelling?) thrusters it is highly unstable and can perform manuv. no human could withstand. Pretty cool if you ask me. The Zero-G hydralic suit should allow our pilots a little more leway with their bodies,

Hey guys check this post out.... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...7&st=0&p=43508&

Any Screenies Yet? In episode 9 of Area 88 the TV, there is a Bucc in the dark blue/grey scheme with some great nose art, Id like to see that on a Bucc!

There is a slightly larger article in this months (U.S.A) issue of the UK pub Air Forces Monthly.

SWEET! Let me know if you need more images

Not enough ref pics?

Ill have to show my Grandad this one! Incredible!

White Night I know your a skin guy.... are those ref pics good enough or do you need some more? Just got a hold of the manga so I can scan if needed.

No prob, I have the Graphic Novel en route to me right now, and I have all the new TV series, and If anyone would like to make a campaign (and change some stuff around for copyright purposes of course) Let me know. Im also decent with a pencil and paper so if anybody wants anything drawn for it, I could help. In the meantime someone jump on these skins! LOL

NO worries Bob, Im sure whatever you do it will be fantastic and I can not wait! Whenever you get around to it , it shall be worth it! P.S. do you use a Wacom tablet to outline you images and all that other jazz?

Perfect! Thanks a bunch!

Quick question.... How do you get rid of the target and friendly indicators on the bottom of the screen in WOV so you can take a clean screen capture? Thanks!

First off, great edit! Your Dover Cliffs edit was incredible! My grandad (ex-RAF) about cried when he saw it. I was curious if you had done any E.E. Lightning Edits? The other question I had was I think I read at sometime that you were in the process of a write up for your editing techniques... How is that going? Again, great work and thanks for your time!

Here are the Tiger-2 Ref pics... LIke i said i THINK the crusader just has a shark mouth and the tail art...ill check later but this should work for you guys right now... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/subarug/a88t22.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/subarug/a88t2.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y240/subarug/a88t23.jpg

Im just heading to bed but I have ref Skins for the Area 88 F-5 and the only thing that needs to be changed on the crusader is the tail art... I have Macross Zero so Ill see if I can get a good capture. Gimme a day... im glad someone jumped on it..

Splendid! I can not wait!

A while? Awwwwwwwwwww Just kidding I know it takes a long time. Well I cant wait then!

Anyone out there made a Buccaneer or at least have on in the works? That would be AWESOME! Any Seconds? http://www.airliners.net/open.file/783582/M/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/812944/M/

Not sure if there are any Area 88 Manga or Anime fans out there that Mod....but if there are I would love to see a Shin Kazama Skinned F-5 and F-8, that would make my flying dreams come true!
