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

Yeah done that so many times - but im a lot better at fuel management these days - still, there should be a tanker waiting- like in RL - so thats one excuse I use!

Thats probably about right - depends which SAMs though - in WOV for example only the SA-2F model 5 will get you most of the time without chaff unless you dive to the deck - and sticking the defence on heavy means about 20 - 30 fired at you every mission (in 1972) - even if you can avoid 1 good luck holding your ground and trying to beat 3 at a time!

It may as well not exist with the amount the so called member countries are giving support to Afganistan - unless the press are just hyping things up of course.

He was in Bill and Ted - thought I knew who he was!

The BBC normally - in an unlimited flood of information ive no idea what the most trustworthy sources are - so settle for one that may be 50% trustworthy :beta1: Havnt bought a newspaper for about 8 years either tbh

Yep you need to use AWACs a lot to declare if the target you have bugged on radar is freind or foe. You may be able to use labels for the time being until you know more about the game - although ive never used them myself. Ground targets are difficult - when you fly to your target area they have sometimes moved elsewhere - so you need to use your ground radar in both moving and static modes flicking between them - once you have something lock it up get awacs to declare it. In the non moving ground radar mode look for lines of dots which will no doubt be Army columns While you are doing this - if you have to go below 8000ft or so stay fast and drop flares - otherwise you will get a MANPAD up your A without any warning. You can use padlock to look at ground targets - useful if you cant find anything - also the 6 key can help you at first For air targets just move the cursor over the yellow square on the radar and get AWACs to declare. STT mode will sometimes give you the actual name of the locked target - if AWACs is out of range then if you do decide to fly on you can ask your wingman to attack your target - if he declines then the target is almost certainly freindly.

Moscow: Last year, the three nations with the world's biggest military expenses were the United States ($547 billion), the United Kingdom ($59.7 billion) and China ($58.3 billion). The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) published these figures in its 2008 annual report. There are other estimates, but they are not radically different. Many research organizations and the media tend to base their comparison of countries' military might on their defense budgets, although their estimates are often disputed, sometimes by the objects of their studies. Although such comparisons are very relative, they are a point of departure for analyzing the military potentialities of different countries. Reports of international institutions which study the strategy and national military potentials, such as the London-based Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) and SIPRI, are considered the most accurate. Only recently, China's defense budget was a little over $20 billion. What stands behind its leap in military expenses? What war machine will it have in the future? Many countries, above all China's next-door neighbors, are interested in answers to these questions. The growing economy is the main catalyst of China's boosting military potentialities. Its industrialized export-oriented economy (China is increasingly becoming the world's producer of absolutely everything - from man-made flowers to cars) requires adequate military protection. Despite successes in the last few decades, China's armed forces are still rather backward, which is another incentive for increasing military spending. Its ground forces are relatively numerous but it does not have enough modern military hardware; its army air defense system is weak, and its artillery is insufficiently mobile. The same is true of China's air force. Most of its combat aircraft are copies of Soviet war planes of the 1950s. The number of modern aircraft is negligible. Moreover, China's industry is not developed enough to produce modern aircraft independently. It cannot manufacture a number of important aggregates at the level of the leading aircraft-building powers. Thus, its engines for combat aircraft are still below their Western and Russian counterparts in economic fuel consumption and overhaul period. In order to close the gap, China will have to make considerable investments, primarily to modernize its industry. China's airlift force is also weak. It does not have enough medium and heavy military transport aircraft. The development of the navy in China is impeded not only by its rather backward industry but also by the fleet's second-rate role in its military potential. As distinct from the majority of industrially advanced countries, China's fleet is not an independent branch but part of its People's Liberation Army (PLA). This subordinate position, that is, orientation to army tasks, limits the Chinese fleet to coastal missions. It primarily operates in territorial waters and a 200 mile-long economic zone. For actions in the open sea, China has a very limited number of multi-purpose nuclear-powered submarines and shore-based Xian H-6 (Tu-16 licensed copy) missile-carrier aircraft. But this situation is changing, and the PLA's navy is expected to receive its first aircraft-carriers in the coming decade. Escorted by an adequate number of frigates or destroyers, they will be able to operate in far-away waters. As other nuclear powers, China's strategy is largely based on the nuclear deterrent. At present, it is equipping its nuclear forces with new DF-31A missiles, which can destroy targets at a distance of 11,000 km. It is also introducing into its fleet nuclear-powered missile carriers of the 094 type, which are harder to detect than their predecessors (092-type submarines) and equipped with JL-2 missiles capable of hitting targets on other continents. Experts believe that all in all, China now has 300-400 nuclear charges. This amount is much below the Russian or U.S. potentials but the situation is gradually changing. On the whole, China's armed forces are capable of carrying out any regional missions, but in strategic potentialities (that is, in nuclear deterrent, and ability to transfer troops over considerable distances) they are lagging behind even their Russian counterpart, which is not at its prime at the moment, to say nothing of the United States. This situation is most likely to remain the same in the next 10 to 15 years. After all, China is not going to have tough military confrontation with anyone.

But that leads us back to the same old question - do you prefer to just sit there and do nothing? In the past we were happy to let countries build up arms without interfering (too much) and that just ended in s**t anyway. Im not sure anyone can really make a preemptive strike on the Afghan/Pakistan border region - its been part of the war the whole time.

Did you get her number in the end? Can't comment myself - NFG may get jealous or something

That bit about the manufacturer been given worn out brakes to replicate - then making new worn out brakes cant be true surely! that could have been the inspiration for the "Stone Henge" scene in Spinal Tap

Well theres always room for optimism I guess - my moneys on the Ceasefire being a rearm and reload sort of thing though as someone else put it.

Or perhaps "Dont bomb Iran and still face Mid East Ball of Fire" - so whats the answer then msnbc?? Cant say im in the know (like the press i suppose) so lets hope the people in the know make the right choice this time Have the UN sent in Hans Blix yet?

Do you get a pilot at all? If there is one but its white only - I remember that you needed to rename Mig28mf.bmp to TIGER02.bmp to get the skin to show.

who knows - TK might
