Mako, you can be Zekes avatar anytime...

My only problem with Sky Crawlers was that the in-flight scenes were amazing, but I wanted to see more! Like how those giant flying wings could land with that giant vert stabiliser below, and just behind the bomb bay.

Take the Israeli markings off the aircraft and it would look very much like the Mig-29s used by the MEC in BF2. Nice!

And from episode 4, the attack on the JMSDF/UN carrier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7amYM18JqPc (Fight begins at 3:12)

While these are anime, these are two outstanding dogfight scene from the series Sentou Yousei Yukikaze: The opening scene of Ep01... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6OXeXSPMt8

I'd willingly sit through any Val Kilmer or George Clooney Batman than watch that one again! Firing 3 wingtip sidewinders? Gimme a break, Doug Masters!

Ooh... a Musclehawk! Nice!

Wait until someone has to perform CSAR in Syria. You'll miss these carefree days...

By ASM you're talking Anti-ship, yeah? If that's the case, it should just be a matter of switching the guidance type of the weapon to "command guided" in the weapons editor, and then ensuring your aircraft has 'CGR' added to the specific pylon like so: (using the F-111C wing store as an example) [LeftWingStationOutboard] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=1 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-3.253,-4.0,-0.219 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=2700 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,LGB,TER,MER,FT,EOGR,EOGB,TLR,CGR,LGR <---------------- AttachmentType=USN,USAF,AUSTRALIA ModelNodeName=soportes_izqui_exter MovingPylon=TRUE RotatingPylon=FALSE PylonMass=163.2 PylonDragArea=0.03 FuelTankName=F-111_FuelTank Remember you're subject to weight restrictions, so if the missile weight is too high, it won't show up in the list, if you try to load it in-game.

First combat deployment for the F-22 as well, apparently.

Yeah, that's the one I was talking about, Veltro's model. It just has it's radome removed in that mod, I think.

Yeah, 2BR is the way to go. You can do it with the TER and specifying the load to carry only 2, though with certain aircraft, sometimes I have a mixture of one bomb below and one either left or right, instead of side by side.

Isn't that 737 actually the E-767, but modded?

Nice! You even snuck in a snap of a PC-6 Turbo Porter! That's one aircraft I miss seeing in Army Av colours here.

I thought the IAF was Indian? Aren't the Israelis the IDF/AF? Or 'Air & Space Forces', or whatever, now?

I think that's a reasonably common reaction from both sides. Then again, you spend 50 years being told the other guy is the 'bad guy', it'd be hard to forget all of that animosity easily, especially given how the US and the Sovs drummed it in.

Dimensionally, it's (supposed to be) roughly around the same size class as the F-35, thought it's weight is significantly lower and has a smaller internal volume. The cost is supposed to be significantly lower than the F-35 also.

Hot damn, those are some great F-2 schemes!

It always just seemed like a natural platform for a Euro gunship. Great work!

Quebec!!! While you're at it, the Minnesota North Stars too!

Heh, that's gold!

Oh yeah, please release this one!

We do, Enoc, and it's an awesome idea!

I don't disagree with you there. Malaysian Airlines has had a history of taking risks and cutting corners in pretty unacceptable ways (arguably) over the past decade. There has been talk in Asia-Pac aviation circles about a lax attitude in the company regarding safety vs efficiency, and it only being a matter of time before it caused or exacerbated a critical failure. MH370 exposed a lot of their internal failings, both for themselves, and the government, but it seems some of those attitudes haven't changed at all. The news here has been reporting that the aircraft was flying only 1000ft above the restricted airspace in the Ukraine. Sure, 33000ft seems sufficient, but when the restricted zone limit is 32000ft, it seems way, way too risky to even contemplate. The vast majority of civil traffic servicing the region has avoided the route entirely! It beggars belief that you'd even contemplate taking that kind of risk. In better news, the Ukrainians say they have detained 2 of the 3 people suspected of firing on the aircraft: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-19/ukraine-government-says-missile-expert-arrested-near-border/5608744

100 of the dead were health workers, analysts, researchers, etc on their way to an Aids conference in Melbourne. They're saying this is a devastating blow to Aids research too. The stupidity of firing on an airliner... it's unbelievable. I hope someone renditions the f*ck out of the perpetrators of this.
