SayethWhaaaa

This is a thing of beauty Spinners! Don't tease us with this!! It's a shame they had almost no air to air capacity in actual service. I know they undertook trials for the USAF with the AIM-7, but as far as I've been able to find out, they rarely, if ever carried AIM-9s. A high/low mixture of IIOs and the F-4E would have been a massive capability boost over the Mirage IIIO's barely functional AIM-9Bs and surprisingly short ranged Matra R530s and their 50/50 chance to hit from 10kms and out. Even with AIM-7Es, the Phantom would have provided an actual air defence capability in the 70s! I love it!

Stoked to here they and the Macchi's will be back in the air again!

I'm willing to bet it's a choice between uneventful grey and boring grey... like just about every other C-17.

Funny looking...

What have you got against our long tradition of flamboyant, Fanta themed schemes?? That ARDU Fanta scheme is boss! Least it wasn't a Passiona theme. I think I did one a long time ago, in the days before SF2. Gonna have to see if I still have in the depths of my HD somewhere...

Oooooh... Shame there's no IIIOD. But still,

I noticed that too. Approaching from the South West, you'd just need to lose your landmarks or fly a bit too fast and you'd be over Macdill AFB and thinking POK was MAc in no time. Could they have had time to punch it when their wheels touched or are you committed to braking at that point?

So does anyone know what happened to the crew??

Did anyone catch this earlier in the week? After unloading and lightening the aircraft they attempted a departure. Apparently a lot of people weren't aware of the C-17's short field capability.

He wasn't even born on this planet...

Helwan HA-300, one of Willy Messerschmitt's last designs. And Egypt's first (only) indigenous fighter.

I see what you did there. lol

I think quite a few aircraft have something like HasFireExtinguisher=True, depending on the specific type and era. I don't know how effective it is or if it works at all, but more often than not, I'm using cannon, not MGs, in a gunfight. Cannons are ruthlessly efficient in the TW series make armor somewhat redundant. If you're using MGs though, you might see extinguishers come into play more effectively, assuming of course that it's working. Have a look through the engine spec in the DATA.ini of different aircraft and you see if it has that capacity. I'm pretty sure more modern multi-engine aircraft, particularly transports will have these in their engine specs.

Burst amount is just the number of rounds a gun turret fire in a single burst, it's not applicable to the pilot's guns. As for incendiary, to the best of my knowledge, incendiary isn't recognised unfortunately. Someone may have figured a work around though... maybe.

SPOILER ALERT Hang on, was this the film where later on, that pilot dives into water and smacks his skull becoming a paraplegic?? If so, I still shudder thinking about the sick crunch from when he hits his head on the rock...

Anyways, don't you generally remove the wings of an aircraft when you transport it? Those models at the beginning, weren't they model/RC planes made by students for the "AVIC UAV Cup"? And that photo of the aircraft being transported looks a lot like an L-15 light attack/trainer too.

6 more soon! Hmmm... I wonder how good this skin will look with Dels' AC-130J...

That's pretty rad!

You telling me you didn't see it coming MAKO?? SPOLIER ALERT! I thought death by cow (2:20ish) was pretty ingenious...

K, these stealth schemes are fantastic. You guys going to release any of these?

Back in '85 when I was a wee munchkin, I got to witness a pair of Mirage IIIOFs do this and it's silence was what really made an impression on me the most. Being 5yrs old and not knowing how sound worked, to see all these people at the airshow covering their ears at the very fast, very silent dart threw me. Then the sound hit and I entered a world of pain. Poor pilots got into a tonne of trouble when the moment of transonic flight made it on the news and several glass houses on nearby farms were completely demolished during their flypast.

Typhoid's on the money.

If you take too long, the Canadian government is going to ask you to delete all traces of it... I thought this one was lost to the ether a long time ago. Good to see it's still around.
