Yes I use the Gerwin Terrain - you lose the new sea but the FPS will rocket up. The stock SF2NA terrain is 1 big 3D model apparently so it's not good even on my system. The FPS hit on the carrier is likely to be parked aircraft related I would say - so you might have to put up with it - again your hardware isn't up to the task for maxing this out.

Yes its perhaps not as secret as it was now there is a photo.

Have they pushed over the American flag yet?

I feel sorry for the Iranians if Indiana Jones is on his way over to get him...

Its literally a pram with wings - great stuff!

Good point - would need to check but I think Dogfights mentions Colonel Tomb - but to be fare to it - it was before Istvan Toperczer went over to Vietnam and got the records and actual pilot names.

They received 69 x single seat Su-25K (B export version) in 1986/87 which saw extensive use in the final years of the war according to the new Sukhoi Su-25 Osprey book (No I don't work for them) But the good news is that you have a back up yes ?

You are kidding - Is there no key to call over a guy to pull you backwards?

Yeah go with whatever - TK uses the osprey books - hence no missiles Although you get a good graphical representation with Dogfights - you have to say its unlikely to be the exact object placement from a pilots memory in the heat of battle under stress. I've no doubt that Clint Johnson saw objects at some point - and the Dogfights pilot narration normally adds up for me................but anyway

I wonder what year that was because his kills are all 1972 - which is when J-6s were about so anecdotal evidence could have got them confused. There is a NV photo of a J-6 in the Osprey book with an AA-2 launch rail at least!

I have the series - but you have to wonder whether they were drop tanks coming down (Besides there being a MiG-21 about) - because firing down at that altitude with those missiles surely would be futile against ground radiation. Typically the encounter is in the US Navy A-1 Units Skyraider book with accounts from Greathouse and Hartman - but they don't mention the missiles. But of course if it was a MiG-21 - then the first operational MiG-21F-13s were not supposed to be up until Feb 66 (this was June 65, 90 miles south of Hanoi) Johnson says they look like SAMs in Dogfights - they most likely could have been.

Death by mortar round? - doubtful but why not - maybe they dressed him in clown outfit http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/kim-jong-un-executes-official-mortar-article-1.1192003

MiG-17s with AA-2s - I dont have anything conclusive on that - Yefim Gordons book mentions MiG-17Fs used them from 68 - but a better source only has cannon kills and no mention of Atolls being used (even the last kill in 1972 was cannons only) and there are no photos from operational bases in Nam carrying them. Add to the potential confusion between the J-6s that arrived in 71.

The VSF A-4Bs had the port cannon removed and replaced with ECM gear

Thought there was only one http://combatace.com/topic/80118-interview-with-jsf-aggie/ Some people dont like to brag I guess

mmm - have avoided the Steam experience myself also - reminds me of Compuserve in the 90s - suppose its convenient for some. Surprised the games on steam are not available separately (DCS is) - I would check the developers website if there is anything there. Racing crikey - last had Grand Prix 97......back in 1997 on Playstation - so cant help you

What - all the info is on Wikipedia what are you on about? Actually had no idea this stubby Space Shuttle thing existed till now

Good luck with the Op - make sure they draw on the right one

The first Eurofighter Typhoon of the so-called Tranche 3 standard, has started its flight tests at BAE Warton, UK. Tranche 3 is the latest version of the Typhoon which embedded hundreds of modifications to make the combat plane more attractive to current and potential export customers. Even if little has changed from an aesthetic point of view, the aircraft has a number of small panels on the fuselage that are there to accomodate the fitting of CFT (Conformal Fuel Tanks). A new internal structure in the nose secion was designed to accomodate wirings, power, cooling and electronics for the new E-Scan radar. Next-gen Typhoon features Hi-speed Data Networking capabilities, Fibre optics weapons bus and more computing power. The first Tranche 3 has been produced for the RAF by the Eurofighter consortium and assembled by BAE Systems. Under the Tranche 3A contract signed back in 2009, a total of 112 aircraft have been ordered by Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, with 40 examples for Royal Air Force. The 400th Eurofighter Typhoon was delivered to the German Air Force during a special ceremony held at Cassidian’s Military Air Systems Center in Manching, Southern Germany, on Dec. 4, 2013. http://theaviationist.com/2013/12/09/tranche-3-eurofighter/#comments

F-16 has no fuel dump - and the EF is just a twin engine copy of that The old adage that you only have too much fuel when you're on fire I suspect

The USAFE - could start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Forces_in_Europe

Yeah best to do any intel before heading out when changing your waypoints The A-7 and Harrier GR1/3 do have moving maps at least in their cockpits.
