Yes you can use the same decals - the locations are defined in the decals.ini in the skin folder so you can just change where it looks for them [Decal002] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=MiG-25PD/decalexample <---------------------- Position=-6.715,0.05 Rotation=0 Scale=0.5 DecalMaxLOD=3

These could have been selling points in other Expansion packs you could think - like a Vietnam expansion pack - hope its not a case of everything must go. Wonder if the F-5A/E and MiG-25 will be along next

so pretty much what was predicted http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22714048

Ha ha - Sharkey Ward (801 commander in 82) would have put the blame on the RAF by now!

Nice One - well done Raven

If there ever was another patch the only thing I could think would be to improve multi core performance because not sure it fully made it over - nothing else should be changed IMO to preserve the stable

I would just go for SF2V - with either SF2I or SF2I that come with the default ground war campaigns V doesnt have. I wouldn't overwhelm yourself with loads of games and mods to start - get used to flying for a bit - the cold war era is probably a bit different to Falcon/IL - the tactics change all the way through it as the missiles/radar/ airframes change.

I would be careful with the range comparison of the F-15E over the F-35A based on these figures: Internal fuel F-35A 2,723 US Gal F-15E with CFTs = 2,868 US Gal Engine Mil power thrust F-35A = 1 x 25,000 lbs F-15E = 2 x 17,800 lbs The F-35A is a single engine jet that can fly with a pretty good load with no extra drag penalty - so willing to bet the F-35A either has equal or better endurance in that config - and even without the avionics its as fast/faster and wont be picked up half as easily.

The other reason for not putting on guns is given that pilots may have been reluctant to get close enough to gun down nuclear armed bombers. I'm not aware of the USN using the F-4E - the pods like the MK4 look to have been tried on the F-4B/J but were rarely carried in Nam from what I've read.

Some of the effects packs out there might already cover the large and prolonged explosions - but they will affect FPS rate. Not so sure on the runway - would need damage textures at least you would think - suspect its been looked at

Plenty to see

Vibration and weather also may have played a part - but the missiles were truly pathetic in seeker performance/gimbal limits, ECCM, maneuverability etc compared to what there is today. I suppose the point is there isn't really much comparison to the tech of 1965 (when it was in its infant state) to the tech of today now its all solid state. In 1965 the Radar was also crap (pulse only), also no way to ID anything BVR (well unless it was an F-4 with J79s in Mil of course). You only have to look at the BVR performance of the AIM-7M in 1991 to see how things had changed and that was 20 years ago now.

might be this in options.ini to stop things fading out close in [GraphicsOptions] ..... ObjectsFade=TRUE

Try telling that to people like Dan Hampton - I would have thought guided bullets might be one way to go. Check the hi res photos on this site - http://www.flickr.com/photos/77258709@N06/page1/ - not just F-35s

I wouldn't get to hung up on A-A because A-G is where most of the action is these days - for example - the 77th EFS F-16s expanded over 7000 rnds of PGU-28 in Afganistan - so still useful Actually good point above - if you aim some arguments I've seen against the F-35 at 4th Gen jets you can see how ridiculous they are.
