  1. Are you saying it was rolling to one side like it wasn't trimmed properly (or had more weight on one wing like a single drop tank?). If its only this jet then - was it rolling for the entire flight? Could be FM error Could be you were hit by flak did you have any stores Could be an old bug - jettison stores used to fix it (there is no trim in this)
  2. Did they or is it just releasing a lot of flares?
  3. Okay is an Su-27 in the photo (Russian Knights paintscheme?) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2587292/Turkey-says-shot-Syrian-fighter-jet-violating-airspace.html

  5. Yes you get good and bad drivers - especially with older games - I still use an older driver for Falcon 4s benefit - newer ones will work but its often a case of trial and error.
  6. You mean CD? - no TK went totally download only for SF2/FE2 The SF2V exe is about 490 MB for example - not too bad - but TK will refund you if you cant DL it
  7. Ha - yep that's just the mainstream press for you (thought it was a MiG-29 personally)
  8. File Name: HD Menu Screens for First Eagles 2 File Submitter: MigBuster File Submitted: 09 March 2014 File Category: First Eagles Hanger, Menu Screens HD 16:9 menu screens for First Eagles 2 (1920 x 1080) created for myself This is a set of Images only - no ini files or changes Click here to download this file
  9. You might be able to change some of it If you see this lower res set http://combatace.com/files/file/6686-guitarclassic55s-replacement-menu-screens-no-movie/ you will see the menu is moved around and replaced with Bitmaps.
  10. TK rearranged the cat files at some point so I expect some of the files that were used in SF and WOE are not included.
  11. Happy Birthday Dave!

    A very Happy birthday to you
  12. It will need to be at a certain level first - when you try to install the patch it will moan and tell you. So Mar 2012 - but to get from where you are will require certain other patches - but I cant tell you what you need. If you brought SF2V via the download you will be able to get the latest version directly - if you have the email receipt & password.
  13. I have an SF2V May 2013 exe that I downloaded a while back - so I would say you must be able to go to 2013
  14. I thought you could go to SF2 July 2013 - but am thinking now whether that's just for a merged install. http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads.htm
  15. Unpopular Aviation Opinions?

    Depends on the majority - wasn't aware the Majority had enough knowledge to know either way? 1. There are some things you need to consider - in the mid 80's you had the AIM-7M (not the AIM-7D/E). You have to ask how many Su-27s would have been operational and trained up (F-15 was 1976 and already had combat experience). Also just 6 years later in ODS the ROE allowed BVR using AWACs & NCTR - so in the mid 80s things were already vastly different to Vietnam - only need to look at F-15 operations in 82 to see how good the missiles and radar had become. Also even in Vietnam if you consider the later AIM-7E-2s were used for kills WVR - the AIM-7M would have probably been a very good WVR weapon. Now what scenario are you talking about? - for example In a WW3 conventional conflict there would have been a lot of merges simply down to the amount of aircraft on each side and the limitations of SARH missiles on both sides (hold lock on a single target) - there was no way to detect or take out all of the opposing jets before getting in close (due to the speed things happen) - even if you allowed BVR. So really it would come down to the side with better training, tactics, formation and situational Awareness you could maintain in such a melee. 2. I'm sure they would be flying F-22s if they could - I've not seen anything to suggest they have a choice in this matter.
  16. If you look in the original MiG-15 download - was there anything you had to drop into the effects folder?
  17. Paulopanz anniversary!

    Many happy returns Paulo!
  18. Planes at Google Earth

    The Wing area and length of the F-106 make it look bigger Empty weights from the respective SAC documents suggest F-4B is actually bigger in mass: F-4B = 27,897 lbs F-106A = 24,038 lbs F-15Cs at Lakenheath
  19. On here as well http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/heavy-clashes-syria-turkish-border-23023925 http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-26706417
  20. They needed to be part of the ship 3D model like you see in YAP
  21. Everything on max hard with limited supply Have done DID before - depends on time and mood
  22. Iran`s new Aircraftcarrier

    Not aware of a carrier with a deck shaped like that - it has quite a small area at the front.

  24. Esc in First Eagles I

    Update Direct X 9 perhaps?
  25. F-16B block 1 #78082 was one of the first F-16s delivered to the USAF. It is seen here after arrival at Hill AFB. Note the telltale black radome of the block 1 models. [uSAF photo] Hill, located in northern Utah, is set to receive the first operational squadron of F-35 Lightning II jets sometime next year. Ultimately, the base is projected to receive 72 F-35As, which will be spread among three fighter squadrons. Once they start to arrive, preparations will begin to send the 48 F-16s currently assigned to Hill, out the door. Base spokesman George Jozens said the base is preparing for the new aircraft by building a $13.5 million hangar to house the jets. There will also be a handful of other construction projects to prepare for the arrival, he said. It will also require some equipment upgrades and new training for operations and maintenance personnel, he said. The Air Force in December selected Hill to serve as an operational base for the new F-35. The F-16's departure from the base will be significant, as the jet has had a long and notable history with Hill. On 1 January 1979, the 16th Tactical Fighter Training Squadron, "First in the F-16", was relocated at Hill AFB, Utah as part of the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing. From 1 January 1979 through 31 March 1983 the 16 TFTS was the first RTU for the F-16 and acted as a worldwide RTU, training over 240 pilots in the F-16. The 4th TFS 'Fightin' Fujins', was the first USAF squadron to achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) on November 12th, 1980. In March of 1981, the 4th TFS took twelve of its F-16s to Norway for a month-long deployment, marking the first deployment of the USAF F-16s overseas. In May 1989, the first F-16C block 40 aircraft arrived at Hill AFB, Utah. The new model F-16, designed to accommodate the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod. The 388th TFW was the first unit to fly LANTIRN-equipped F-16s into conflict over the skies of Iraq and Kuwait during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In the 35-plus years at Hill, the F-16 has been deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Desert Storm, been a major factor in the global war on terror in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and served countless other missions. For more than 30 years, the base had 72 F-16s spread among three squadrons until an Air Force restructuring in 2010, when one squadron was deactivated and Hill lost 24 jets. Many of the Vipers will be reassigned within the Department of Defense bu at this point it is unknown where Hill's final 48 F-16s will end up when they leave the base. There’s optimism that landing the F-35 will insulate Hill from future defense budget cuts. The F-35 could very well give Hill AFB a mission for decades to come, much like the F-16 did when it arrived in 1979. http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4841.html
