MigBuster

amazing work here as usual - am looking forward to the D version myself

"Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!"

Have seen plenty of Navy F-16 camo schemes over the years - but I only saw this F-15 one a few months back

You need to install the skin pack installer from the gamers tools for the skins - and I think there is a mod pack installer too - However they both come with good instructions in pdfs so just follow them. (Download the skins you want (.skn files) to a single folder IMO) You really need to get the Terrain HiTiles for AF if you can - so worth it http://www.hitiles.com/indexF4AF.htm If you want a 3D pit upgrade then Zerk has done a free pit - see some old threads below

Not unless he can reach over to the other side I guess

The bbc have an article on that today - its made of Carbon Fibre which reduces its weight a lot apparently

One problem is that if you have to go guns on a large flight - you don't always have the time to take out enough of them by setting up proper attacks - so its easy to get shot down panicking because you are trying to rush things! The AI wingmen are hopeless - they attack straight from behind - with the normal results!

My moneys on Spain - probably because Im a Liverpool fan - and the fact that they actually play good football. They will be against a German team that play a solid and well organised system - but dont have players that are anywhere near what they used to be IMO and have been riding their luck so far.

Even the IL-28 is lethal if you approach from behind it with guns only - you need to fly level to one side of it then turn into its side (easier with a trackir) or attack from the front. TU-16s are a nightmare - so its usually a mixture of things including diving down or climbing from below them at high speed!

Think 24 posts classifies you as being a newbie still :beta1: Good old days! - I dont think so - the dark ages more like - its alright being nostagic but I really dont want to go back to things like that ever!!

Here are some shots from Allied Force in 1280x1024 on a GeForce7600 - You must remember that AFAIK the game uses a slightly enhanced version of the original Falcon 4 graphics engine from 1998 If you have seen better graphics than these then you have been looking at shots from Red Viper I imagine

If you are talking about AF screenshots - To improve the ground Most people use Hitiles which is a payware add on - basically a high resolution with 4 different seasons for Korea and the Balkans - well worth it The graphics on the planes/weapons themselves can be improved by changing the skins - for F-16 skins try Redbirds (from the gamers tools) or from Janhas- you need to get the skin pack installer - also at gamers tools. Not many of the other jets have been done - if you look in the downloads section here there are some for some of the jets that have missing skins. There is a free 3d pit from zerk to replace the stock one If you already have these - then you may need to change the Anti Aliasing /Anis Filtering etc settings on your graphics card in the advanced settings. The best resolution for AF is probably around 1600x1200 - but most people probably dont have a monitor to support that.

Check the vid out in this thread: http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?...795#Post2461795

If you mean the black and white scheme - its not that new because I was asked to do a skin for it about 7 months ago - and f-16 net had a few good pics back then

Although its old WOV should be brought to the same level as WOI with the next patch - so you will still have an up to date game which is unique in being the SEA theatre. You could get either or both WOI/WOE for the different stock jets/cockpits/terrains/campaigns - or you could just mod multiple versions of WOV (a lot). At the mo WOI is the most advanced and well worth getting IMO

3) Has been an issue since the original Strike Fighters was released - if the plane still rolls to one side after releasing all your bombs then a way to trim it out again is to jettison the bomb racks.

Watched it for a bit - Turkey are doing better than expected!

lol - actually reminds me of an Episode of Scrubs where they sing this all the way through!

TrackIR 4 with padlock helps - you can zoom in - although using reduced size red target boxes (with hud in Normal mode) is better for your eyes IMO

Doh - I used to like armed recce till they showed up!

Will try and use the tumble weed more will come in handy for when Im trying to be funny As for seks on a regular basis - probably not as there are a lot of married and single people here

I found a skin and lod for it in the version of the pack I have (which may be old) but didnt find an entry for it in the given weapondata.ini so in this case just made a copy of the qrc-160-1 - they look quite similar anyway tbh (http://www.f-111.net/models/ECM/index.htm)- although I could of course just use the ALQ87 skin and LOD if I want. To copy just use the weapons editor to open up your weapondata.ini - highlight QRC-160-1 - then hit the "copy weapon" button - which will put a copy at the bottom of the list. highlight the new entry - click edit and change the TYPE to QRC-160-8 and the NAME to AN/ALQ-87 Only changed Strength to 75 (now ive looked ) and the service year is 1970 - mainly because its an equaliser to the sa2F - which I have also set to start in 1970 - and I dont need it before then - although no reason not to put a reduced strength version in if it bothers you between 1968-1970. then hit OK then Save. Would be nice to have my EB-66 providing some jamming for me - but that aint gonna happen without making custom single missions etc Ive got plenty of pics of F-4Ds and Es from the Linebacker period and there are about 3 different types of pod used (mainly) in the forward left sparrow bay(an easy mod) - although only ALQ-87 and ALQ-101(this does not look similar to the 101 pod used on 70s Brit jets btw) are mentioned in text - so do what you like really - if I get more info it will probably be changed again.

Well a tip from me would be fly fast below 1000ft and dont fly in a straight line - if you are over an airfield turn a lot more than normal while changing altitude if you can.

Using the stock set up the floor is the only place to be if you want to live if sa-2fs are around - better off taking chances against the red laser fire than the sa-2F - even with the QRC-160-1 - which is c**p. The sa-2b/c are easy to avoid - but i have rarely beaten the sa-2F without diving to floor - you could try turning inside it - but its not that easy - particularly in a Phantom - when you realise you are doing about 210kts, have the brakes on and all your bombs still (note: not a good place to be) From what ive read the NVA negated the QRC-160-1 by creating a "home on Jam" mode for their SA-2s in 1968. This brought the QRC-160-8 (AN/ALQ-87) pod into service which jammed the missiles guidance signals - so they would take off and crash into the ground - hence my game now has one of these with a noise jamming strength of 77 -which allows for them to take off and occasionally score - but eliminates the totally pathetic scenario where my flight climbs to meet the migs but gets decimated by about 7 sa-2fs in 3 seconds flat I use these from 1970 on the F-4D_Late and F-4E_Late - of which ive created later versions of for post 1970 engagements (when the sa-2f was supposed to come into Vietnam service!) - and this means I dont have to give them chaff and it can be a bit more like what ive read in a 1972/73 Mig Killers book - where SAMs dont seem to be an issue at any altitude (as in they didnt fire when Migs were about much or were just jammed) - or should I say thay are not constantly flying at 400ft worrying about going up to high! Now I just get shot down by Mig-21s instead btw not to sure what the F-4J used - some internal ECM possibly but no info on it yet - so they just get whacked still
