The story of the only air-to-air kill achieved by the F-14 Tomcat during Operation Desert Storm. Even though the F-14 Tomcat scored only one air-to-air kill during the Gulf War in the form of an Iraqi Mi-8 Hip, that aerial victory has an important place among the air engagements because it represents the first helicopter shot down in combat by a U.S. aircrew. http://theaviationist.com/2016/02/06/f-14-shot-down-iraqi-mi-8/

Taken at Hmeymim airbase, the following interesting video shows Russian combat planes involved in the air war over Syria taking off and landing from the airfield located near Latakia, in northwestern Syria. Noteworthy, in the last few seconds of the clip you can also see the four Su-35S fighters that joined the Russian air war in Syria last week. These aircraft, that were delivered to the Russian Air Force in the last quarter of 2015, wear serial numbers 02517, 02518, 02619 and 02620. http://theaviationist.com/2016/02/04/new-video-shows-su-35s-in-syria/

DCS World 1.5.2 Update
MigBuster replied to MigBuster's topic in Digital Combat Simulator Series General Discussion
If you now have 1.5 the modules have to be installed from within the game from what I have read....the standalone modules will no longer work (you would have had to download the modules again anyway they are old versions). If you cannot get them your purchase history should be there (if you are using the same account?).....if not you will obviously have to provide proof of purchase or similar when you contact ED to get the licenses. (You should at a minimum have kept the emails ) -
Been using 10 since it came out........I doubt the Enterprise version will have this update feature its purely to make 10 home more like a tablet OS for dummies ......businesses don't deploy updates the same way (or shouldn't be) You can still stop it updating Hardware drivers as before which I do.......also see here (includes a utility to hide updates) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 You can still view and uninstall updates from the programs and features as before I have updated 10 to the latest 10 build (think rebuild) and shock it actually kept all my apps and files in the right place (It just upgraded the NVIDIA drivers to the latest so had to install the older ones) - but all the app config was still there. Have even done the full reset on my tablet........again can keep all your settings.

With the drama surrounding the potential retirement of the Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II and the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter’s viability as a replacement, Close Air Support (CAS) has become a hotly debated topic in military aviation. A mission that was relatively unknown to the general public prior to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, CAS has been around for over a hundred years. But what is it? What aircraft can do CAS? What does it look like from the aviator’s perspective? How about from the ground force’s perspective? .... https://fightersweep.com/3855/what-close-air-support-is-and-isnt-part-one/

An opportunity for North Korea to modernise perhaps

You haven't changed anything......this goes way back.

DCS World Future Dear Pilots! 2015 was an important year for DCS World with the introduction of new Eagle Dynamics modules like DCS: L-39 Albatros, DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map, and both Su-27 and Ka-50 campaigns. Just as important, we launched our new graphics engine, the ability to support multiple maps, introduction of cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft, and a rapidly growing number of high quality 3rd party developers. These accomplishments have laid the foundation for great things in 2016 and beyond. We also launched the new DCS World website that you can view here: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com On both our Youtube channel and Facebook page, we released many new videos of modules and news updates. Here are some of our favorite highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXgRGcgLwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L5uNt3Hbss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlUowahx4Zo Our fundamental goals for DCS World remain unchanged: we aim to build a deeply immersive and accurate world simulation engine that allows you to enjoy the highest levels of fidelity in aircraft operations from WWII onwards, in wonderfully detailed and varied areas of the globe while offering an ever more credible ground simulation experience. DCS World 2.0 in 2016 will offer new clouds and weather effects; improved HDR; deferred lighting (more light sources); new FLIR system; an improved Air Traffic Control (ATC) system; enhanced explosions, over-wing vapor, and rain on canopy; procedural grass and vegetation; improved multiplayer with dedicated server support; a new Air Combat Generator with enhanced user control of air-to-air generated missions; new custom overlays option for the Mission Editor, and a new Virtual Reality (VR) tab in Options which will improve the DCS World experience in VR. Aircraft Modules Eagle Dynamics's first goal in 2016 is to wrap up the L-39 Albatros with the addition of the L-39ZA version along with the addition of interactive training missions. We will also continue to improve the cooperative multiplayer experience in the L-39 as a testbed for this technology. In parallel we continue to work on the F/A-18C Hornet. We are currently working on the cockpit and setting up its functionality. Later in 2016 we plan to release the Hornet as an "Early Access" product that will allow you to participate in early testing. Our goals for DCS World War II remain unchanged and are still focused on a stable of WWII aircraft in addition to a 1944 map of Northern France with period ground units. We hope to finish the Spitfire IX in mid-2016 followed by the P-47D at the end of the year. We will also continue to fine-tune the P-51D, Fw 190 and Bf 109. To complete the update to all DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft, we plan to add a new 3D external model for the MiG-29 with the incorporation of the Professional Fight Models (PFM) to both the Su-33 and MiG-29. In the first half of 2016, several new 3rd party aircraft modules will also be launched. These include the F-5E Tiger II by Belsimtek, the SA342 Gazelle by Polychop Simulations, and the AJS-37 Viggen by Leatherneck Simulations. Map Modules DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map is being enhanced with the addition of: Tonopah Air Force Base New casino/hotels in the Las Vegas strip A number of airfields and landing strips in the central (detailed) portion of the map The National Training Center (NTC) Improved grass and ground clutter Plus a host of minor improvements We have also been working on the DCS: Strait of Hormuz Map with the primary focus on F/A-18C operations. For this release we are working on our new T5 dynamic mesh terrain technology that we believe will bring this map a new dimension in quality and detail. The third map being worked on is the 1944 Northern France Map. We see this period map as a cornerstone element to create an immersive World War II air combat experience. Aircraft Carriers We see 2016 as a big year for aircraft carrier operations as we plan to release both Nimitz-class aircraft carrier and Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier modules. Both of these modules will be incredibly detailed models with working elevators, interior hanger bays, animated ship systems, and the ability to walk around inside the ships. These will be optional modules that would replace the existing ships currently in DCS World. New Campaigns As we release maps and aircraft, we will also continue to offer new campaign modules. These will include both training and combat scenario campaigns. Summary We see 2016 as a very exciting time for DCS World with the growth in maps, aircraft, and features. When we include all the new aircraft and map modules being developed by our talented 3rd parties, 2016 will be an exceptional and fun time in the skies of DCS World. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

In huge Israeli intel breach, US, UK have spied on AF for 18 years
MigBuster replied to Nesher's topic in Military and General Aviation
LOL......how else can CNN be first with the strike cam footage. -
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/israel-gives-green-light-to-f-15i-upgrade-421013/ Israel will embark on a “deep” upgrade of its Boeing F-15I Ra’am fleet as it looks to maintain the type as the backbone of its air force’s strike capability, despite the parallel acquisition of the Lockheed Martin F-35.

Thinking about new desktop
MigBuster replied to 1977Frenchie's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
As above if you are bothered about running GFX in SF2 probably a GTX-750Ti (e.g. type with big fans for cooling) as a minimum (others give it good reviews) it has some 900 series type architecture. Also GTX-770 or even 970 And seriously......I recommend you should get an SSD and install windows on that (e.g. Samsung Evo) and use the HD for file storage (check the board supports SATA 3 (6gps). If you dont you will kick yourself.....windows on an SSD.....well you know how lag free and quick iPads are yes...........(Even a SATA 3 HD is too slow IMO)
