Behind him his F15 Strike Eagle was a burning wreck. He had parachuted into a field of sheep somewhere near Benghazi airbase and needed to escape - his fellow crew member had landed in another field nearby. Raising his hands in the air he called out "OK, OK" to greet the crowd. But he need not have worried. "I hugged him and said don't be scared we are your friends," said Younis Amruni, 27. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8397953/US-jet-crashes-in-Libya-airman-would-not-have-known-if-he-approached-friend-or-foe.html Make of it what you will Looks like we even get the Serial number of one of the AIM-120s from that BBC vid

haha nice one Allen

Ahhh - that clip of the goalie throwing it in his own net still gets me.

Yep its from that site alright. The Flight model is porked the AI were unable to take off in it so if you get it and want a revised model for SF2 just say.

Hello and welcome - hope you continue to enjoy the site as much as everyone else If they are not in downloads - somebody might be working on them

Thanks for the link - the Tornado F.3 was one of NATOs best interceptors of the cold war IMO - not my type of fighter but great in its role. Sad to see it go.

Crikey - No way to tell from that video what hit that - an explosion underneath with no indication of the source direction(ok maybe not from directly above ). Any Allied jets there by now? What happened to the ceasefire they declared yesterday!!

Nah - only got as far as the tail as a template - but good enough if you are doing standard Grey - you can use bits from the complete 2048x2048 hi res skins: http://combatace.com/files/file/10845-f-16a-hi-res-tail-template/ http://combatace.com/files/file/10777-pack-3-hi-res-f-16a-royal-netherlands-rnlaf/ http://combatace.com/files/file/10778-pack-4-hi-res-f-16a-usaf/ http://combatace.com/files/file/10776-pack-2-hi-res-f-16a-royal-danish-af-rdaf/ http://combatace.com/files/file/10774-pack-1-hi-res-f-16a-belgian-af-baf/

No technology will ever be 100% reliable and the shuttle has proven to have been very reliable in its service period for what it has to do - you may never see anything as reliable again! Like Concorde retiring this just seems like one giant leap backwards for me (Despite the issues with both) Where do people get the notion that going into space is an easy formality and should be risk free!!

Take care SidDogg

The explosions on the BBC site as well - lets hope the leak gets contained. Found these:

Terrible scenes on the news - a sad day and little anyone can do against that kind of force.

These 2 articles by a former F-4 and F-104 pilot are still useful btw http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_055a.html http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_061a.html

seems to work in Firefox ok - 3.6.15

The games only go to about 1983 max as standard - and yes they are keeping it that way - its their target audience! A time period not really covered much but far more interesting - especially when other sims have been nothing but WW1/2/post 80s sims. You will need to learn some new ways to fight. So basically you need to do some modding if you want to give it a more modern time frame.

Good to know - didnt think Id ever had to correct my landing due to crosswind!

After you selected the file did you hit the dark blue Attach Files button Assume its in a correct format like .zip also.

Thats not really a useful comparison unless you are flying jets in IL-2? With single engine props you often get a constant roll in one direction caused by the engine torque AFAIK - you wont see this in jets - unless you are carrying an asymmetric loadout. Wind force and thermals etc are not simulated in SF either that I know of.

Only photo I have the code is obscured by a folding wing - but that states is was VF-213 also

Nothing wrong in encouraging you to look for credible sources of information though. Even a forum with knowledgeable people can sometimes provide wrong answers because they couldn't be bothered to check. and when I say credible - that does not include the Media!

You also see it written sometimes that Guns were also left off interceptors because they didnt think the pilots would want to get so close to bombers with nuclear arms - whether that was really in their thinking - not sure .

Go to Options -> Gameplay then change the simulation difficulty level or customise it

Yes - but not with any accuracy if you are using MK-xx dumb bombs - One problem being the ground height is always changing - although I think the bombs wont be affected by wind in SF so you might get fairly close with practise and by rippling lots of them.
