'Senile old men start wars but it is the young who must fight and die'. War is not in our nature .After all,why can't human beings peacefully co-exist?But what is it that causes a man to commit cruel acts of Tyranny?Not knowing what kind of effects his actions would have on others.In his own mind,he would be doing the 'Right Thing'.Remember,the people who start and incite wars are always the ones farthest away from the battlefield.The real men who fight never take pleasure in killing.Instead,they take pride in the fact that their sacrifice is necessary for the future of their country's children.Sure,life is hard.But we as humans,are not animals.The 'survival of the fittest' principle does not apply to us.Because we care for each other.Because we are willing to go it all,just to help another man carry on his path safely. Only those who have actually fought and lived through it all will understand this.They are the ones who value life the most and know the true meaning of sacrifice.A soldier is trained to follow orders and to trust in his commander's judgment.But,he still has his own thoughts.Thoughts about the opponent he's just killed.Thoughts about the dead guy's family.Parents who would miss him,a wife who would be widowed,children who'd be orphaned.But,the soldier never hates.Hate is a burden only for the cowards to bear.The soldier respects his opponent and takes honor in stepping up to the challenge and risking it all. Anybody who believes that war is necessary should think again.Civilians can easily mouth off to another country.But,can they look down the barrel and accept death without fear and shame?War isn't and will never be a human trait but,will always be a quality of the weak willed. Being a soldier(not just infantry!) is the highest honor and maybe the highest form of life on earth.Be proud of who you are and live life without boundaries. Heres a salute to everyone who has served.And heres a tribute made by one of my friends in the Army:

Could be an in-flight emergency...Or maybe the pilots were just drunk!!

Get well soon mate .Knee operations are sensitive but,they eventually heal.

The Phantom has to be one of the most beautiful aircraft operated by the RAF and the RN.

Awesome work!A small question:What mission types can this be used for in SF2?Also,if you want to use more realistic pilot figures(Without the oxygen masks) then check this Bronco pack:OV-10A Bronco SF2

The only problem with DCS games are the limited flyable planes.Otherwise,it's good enough to be a study sim!

Same here.Guess it's just not there...Or maybe we are both Blind!

Point noted dear Sir .

Finally!!!Was afraid this project could be scrapped due to lack of funds!No doubt,it will be as good as all the other DCS titles.

Thanks!Working nicely.

Hi fellow simers!Hope all's well with you. I hope this question has not been asked before as I haven't found a similar thread.My question: The least date in the Default desert map is 1945 while the max I can go is 1982.If I select an aircraft with a higher date,then I'm stuck with selecting that date and cannot cycle back.For example the max date is 1982 but,if I fly the Block 40 Viper,the only date shown is 1989.I was hoping someone could tell me how to increase the max date in the default desert terrain from 1982 to atleast 1991 .All or any help is welcome.

Getting a gun shouldn't be too hard.But,how could he get explosives to booby trap his apartment?This is an American citizen with explosives inside his own apartment.Imagine some psycho Jihadist with the same equipment.If this guy can obtain explosives,then so can some Jihadist trying to blow up a public place. Gun laws may remain the same but,explosives are some serious business.Firearms can be possessed legally but not explosives!

At least he survived .

Sounds like Jeffery Dahmer.But,a life of wrong cannot be corrected by a single right.

Great!Now if only there were a harrier to escort it!

Really sad for all those who lost their lives.But,this kind of thing could be prevented if the shooter was kept under supervision.Obviously,he had a mental condition.Otherwise,who would have the will to commit such a horrible act?These shootings are becoming more common and most of the cases involve students as the shooters.I'm surprised how their mental state of health is ignored by people.Even the doctors don't sometimes consider them 'Normal'.Unless action is taken to monitor and/or apprehend people with such psychological issues,these shootings will occur from time to time.Again really sad for those who died....

Makes one wonder about the need for ECM pods!!!!

Nice Idea!Anyway,if you want to play against the soviets,you can play as the PAF.Some soviet intruders were downed by F-16s.You can get the Mi-8 from Marcfighters.

Been following this mod for a long time.Thirdwire sims are good for Quick play but,they definitely cannot be used for a High Fidelity simulation.

View File PAF Blk_52 Viper PAF F-16C Blk50/52 for SF2 This pack represents the F-16s of the PAF which are of the Blk50/52 standard.Some of these aircraft were new built airframes which were bought from the USA.The rest of the PAF's fleet of Vipers was upgraded and overhauled by the TAI(Turkish Air Industries). This mod represents the following airframes: Ac no.10803 Ac no.83703(Upgraded by TAI) Ac no.85722 AC no.85728 Ac no.10905(Newly bought) These textures will work with all of The Viper Team's F-16 models.But,they are specifically meant to be used with their Blk50/52 package.The skin in the folder named 'No.5 Falcons CFT' is meant to be used with the Single seat CFT(Conformal fuel Tanks) model.These skins were newly built and have nothing to do with my old F-16A Skin pack.In other words,If you are using these skins,UNINSTALL MY PREVIOUS PACK!These skins represent the following improvements: -Corrected camo pattern -Panel lines now clearly visible -Real Aircraft serial numbers and Squadron Tails Installation: After unzipping,place the folders inside the 'skins' folder,into your desired F-16C aircraft folder(The folder present inside your Aircrafts folder).You must know at least know about the SF2 mods folder. Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism. IMPORTANT: I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!) If you like this file,then please rate it here at CombatAce.Constructive criticism welcome.
