  1. I found that strange camoed bird above NVN. Is such a scheme normal, or do I need to reinstall my game?
  2. I do want thngs to be clear: I do not want to start a debate about YAP, Payware, etc... I've been on their site and see much screenshots of their works, and it do seems incredibly good! Nevertheless, I won't buy it, because I haven't much money at the moment, and I'm afraid my interest/passion about VN isn't sufficient for such a work. For the "scripted thing", I was speaking about dynamic vs scripted missions. I do like the randomness of TK series, because I don't like to have to start again and again the same thing. Thanks for all your advices, gentlemen.
  3. Quite eager to help too! BTW, as I'm oversea (namely in Europe), I don't know if it is very convenient for you (especially since I have sometime to wait weeks for stuffs coming from the US). As you wish!
  4. I have no doubt about YAP quality, but I don't want (for the moment) any payware, and I am not fond of scripted missions. Any other suggestion for campaigns? Thanks.
  5. Hi chaps! I finally found WoV in a little store in France and immediatly bought it. Well, my question is quite simple: is there any "must have" just like Nato Fighter for WoE? I've already got Brain's tiles and the Green hell thing. Any other ideas?
  6. Did almost happen in 1993. (Libya had to face during early 90's an islamic insurgency in the western part of the country. Eventually, the effectiveness of Libyan Security forces/secret police etc... lead to the defeat of the insurgents. It seems that in 1993, Qaddafi was almost overthrown by a military coup (unclear if it was related to the insurgency, but there was indeed a massive purge in the army later whose victims were prominantly western officers. So, it's a credible scenario)
  7. Remember Sidra. Would be sad not to have F-14, as they were the stars of Libyan-US "cordial meetings".
  8. Get well! So say we all!
  9. Sure of this? Because from what I've heard, the subsequent republic and the Soviets were not very good friend. Far from it... But I can be wrong.
  10. @pfunkmusik If you are planning to make red side playable, I can provide you with a generic text with lots of propaganda references.
  11. Remebered I got one! And by the way, I put the rest on the pics :) Good old hercule (and two of the dreaded "blue camo"... sort of armed branche/special force of the local KGB like) G2 Galeb Albatros Su22 Fitter
  12. Shouldn't have we waited for them to have Warp Drive before contacting them?!
  13. Guess those birds can interest skinners too...
  14. Libyan MiG-21 scheme form personnal pics. If that helps. Her older brother
  15. Little question here: what's the use of Super Etendard "external pod". ECM?
  16. Actually, I am playing on all-hard. So no "red box". Only the E-key. But when do I know that I'm in range? Isn't it supposed to be running with a radar? Thanks for the quick reply and for the pilot skin. Where do I put it?
  17. Great job! Very incredible! TWo small issues: the Argentine mirage's pilote does not have any texture. Just grey. How can I fix that? The other one is totally different: how do I shoot an exocet? (you know, lock, etc...)
  18. Thanks for you interessting point of views, gentlemen. Whatever, I will have to wait to get some job before buying it. Which campaigns are included? For which nations? Can one play for France? Belgium? Is there any mod for other fronts?
  19. I will use that thread, as it is open: I'm wondering now wether I should buy FE or not. So, gentlemen, I'm all ears! How is the game? Is it finished? Good? Etc... :yes:
  20. Okay, I will zip a small selection and send it to you. As for the war, yeah, it's those barbary wars, when the Marines did kicked the ass of the Pasha of Tripoli. LIbyans often end the story after the beginning, after they sized USS Philadelphia.
  21. That tower was one of famous GDR "monuments".
  22. Moammar's posters?! You knocked the right door! I've a good collection of all the regime's propaganda stuff in the streets. Are you interested? As for others, the problem is the idea I have will be fun for people that lived there, but others... : that is the emplacement of some much-loved Egyptian Fast-Food chain; Tripoli's most appreciated bakery, where I lived ... If "the colonel" have had the habit of living every time at the same time, you could have add his tents. But as he's always on the move, it seems complicated Oh, just thought about one! Do you know that the very first country USA was at war with after their independance was Libya (sort of, as Libya did not exist... They actually were at war against the Bey of Tripoli, that used to do some piracy in Meditterranean sea)? One sight can be added in the shores of Tripoli, where Philadelphia was sunk. Eventually, the US won the war, but I do not remember how and when, guess I have to re-open some books.
  23. AFAIK, it seems that the AI does not use BVR. Apparently, the fire their BVR missiles when in visual range (wich is set, for the AI, somewhere near 8 nm). But I'm not sure of that, as i've been several time killed by bvr missiles, according to the log, fired from planes I did not see.
  24. Really strange, especially that since 2 years, all air military duties for the capital (except some transport and logistic) have been centered around ex-Wheelus (whose arabic name I always forgot). Things might have, once again, changed. But Libyans can also have asked Google to do so, as they are very.. VERY paranoid about all security and political issues. (remember having been menaced by a security guard AK for an ill-fated photo: a new comer there, was just wandering for some sight seeing in the town, took a photo on the most famous square of the town... but was not aware that in my point of view a bank-camouflaged local-KGB like agency building was standing! Some civilian come to help me btw, remembering the guard that I'm a tourist, blablabla. On one other day, my roommate was arrested in street just because he was takings some photos (well, yes, it was near Bab el Azizia...). ) As far as I recall, there are one, maybe two runways. The one I've always taken was clearly oriented in a east-west fashion, as during landing approach and take-off climbine, one can almost see Tripoli from the plane windows. Oh! BTW I suddenly remember the name of Wheelus! That's Meitiga! And what sort of easter-Eggs are you thinking about?
  25. Can't find it here. I guess it may be by my parents, as I got that book as a teenager. What my memory tell me is: "British jaguar, firing a red-painted missile (so, I guess it's some test) from an upward pylon. The picture was clearly taken from a camera set on the tail of the plane, with sort of "gun cam". It might be some prototype test!
