The first F-16 to carry the Sparrow was one of the prototypes in the mid to late 1970s - so I guess they decided to add missile capability very early on. The second YF-16 (#01568), equiped with 2x AIM-9, 2x AIM-7 and camera pods test-firing a Sparrow missile.

haha - how cool is that!

I think the Block 25 was capable - not sure if they were ever carried. And have 2 sources stating Egypt had AIM-7 capable Block 32s http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article4.html

Some really interesting reading there thanks

nice one!

Yeah not great - but good enough In that case it looks like the quarter finals for group C and D are: USA v Ghana England v Germany Think I would have preferred to get Ghana - but probably not much in it between them and Germany on current form!

From http://www.defencetalk.com/china-farewell-j-6-fighter-aircraft-26983/ BEIJING: People's Liberation Army Air Force held on Saturday an official farewell ceremony for the J-6, a Chinese-built version of the Soviet MiG-19 Farmer fighter aircraft, Chinese television reported. Although the Soviet Union stopped production of MiG-19s in 1957, the Chinese came to value the plane's agility and powerful armament and produced about 4,000 J-6 fighters from 1958 to mid-1980s. The J-6 was the core of the Chinese fighter fleet until mid-1990s. It was exported to many developing nations and took part in a number of armed conflicts, including the Vietnam War. China retired J-6s from combat duties in 2005. However, they have been used up to now in small numbers as remote control target drones and pilot trainers. The export version of the aircraft, the F-6, is reportedly still in active service in Iran, Myanmar, North Korea and Sudan. The J-6 has a maximum speed of Mach 1.45 and a service ceiling of 17,900 m (58,700 ft). Combat radius with two drop tanks is about 640 km (400 mi). In addition to the powerful cannon armament, most versions of the aircraft have a maximum payload of 500 kg (1,100 lb).

Been there - seems a good idea but really is not - listen to these old heads on here and run for the hills

Check your main ini file is called F-16A.ini 19 files should be in \F-16A\ and the skin folders and the folder \F-16A\Cockpit - all the cockpit files go in there (91 files to go in cockpit) You may need to copy F-16A_netz_afterburner.tga into each skin folder

You didnt try and install an old weapons pack in that did you?

Probably cadillac man - as ive never heard of it before. Have Rescue Dawn on DVD - not bad but could have been so much better - also as ever its not totally accurate if do any reading on Dieter Dengler.

To see ground targets withut a marker is very difficult unless you have a hi res monitor and trackIR (so you can look around and zoom in easily)- then you can see smoke from muzzle flashes etc (well its easier in SF2) If you dont have those things padlock may help, or set the hud only back to normal to get a red marker. The Ground radar mode does show ground objects like AAA, Bridges, Buildings - but its best use is really allowing you to avoid the dots at low level

Happy Birthday Terrain king

This day gets weirder - is this really a message from stiglr: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3034558/A_hearfelt_apology.html#Post3034558 It's been quite some time since I've posted on this board, and that's been mostly the decision of the administrators. I've had quite a tempestuous and adversarial history with many of you, and it's proven to be quite toxic for me. It was best for me to move on; life's too short not to be happy. However, I want to extend a sincere and heartfelt apology to anyone I hurt, insulted, or otherwise chagrined with anything I have ever posted. Like everyone here, I can be very passionate about anything that captures my imagination and can let that get the best of me when I communicate on a forum such as this. Passion and belief in one's point of view is no excuse for being sarcastic, rude or insulting, however. And that's what I'm apologizing for. So, from the bottom of my heart.... I'M SORRY. Blue skies and tailwinds to all of you!

And when the England, Scotland and Republic of Ireleand Squads meet up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0v9wbacMLc&feature=related

Ahh yes Ron Manager - like his interpretation of The formation thing - which seems to crop up most tournaments too! As for half time team talks - cant beat this one

England were **** - why am I even surprised - Fantastic players at club level against the best plyers in the world - stick on an England shirt though and they cant even put 2 passes together - ****ing useless!! Seems to be the same every tournament! PS - Although England is the only country to qualify from the UK dont let Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland hear you are putting them in the same Pot as England Theres a good reason they dont let us play friendlies against each other anymore.

Pretty cool shots - thanks Dig the Vampire - do you know what version that is?

Germany 0 - Serbia 1 - Jeez thats a bit of a shocker!

Crikey - great comeback from 2-0 down at half time - suspect you underestimated Slovenia - I certainly did - didnt think they even had a footy team! - when i was there in feb I could understand why they might be good at skiing - but didnt see any football pitches - just mountains!

hmmm..what do you think - not far off?

Not bothering to look - but I remember this coming up before - isnt that pylon layout correct as the actual F-100D? need to check.....

Gotta be fake.........

Congrats to you Mr Jeff - glad you made it back okay.

Just saw France (2006 runners up) get well beaten by Mexico! Would like to say Mexico played well - but the French were hopeless considering the players they have - no fight, no spirit just seemed to waltz around the pitch like they just didn't care - a well deserved trouncing!!
