The forces known in short as ISIS or ISIL pushed local populations to flee by the hundreds of thousands. ISIS also assassinated several Western journalists and other nationals, causing furious reactions in those countries.

It's nothing out of the ordinary - at certain slower speeds and with the wings extended it should be a lot better when it comes to turning compared to a higher wing sweep and speed - same as any variable geometry aircraft e.g. F-14 / 111 / Su-24.

HD Video: http://video.defence.gov.au?mediaId=ee1468fe-1024-45f0-ae3b-2a880237c0ce The first of Australia’s Royal Australian Air Force’s (RAAF) F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) successfully taking flight from Fort Worth, Texas on Monday 29 September. The first two of 72 F-35A JSF’s for Australia were rolled out of the Lockheed Martin’s production facility in Fort Worth, Texas on 24 July 2014. The F-35As will replace the RAAF’s current fleet of ageing F/A-18A/B Hornets.

Yep looks like I might avoid 8 all together now thankfully

In the night of Sept. 23, the U.S. and partner nations have launched a series of air strikes against ISIS targets in Syria. And, for the first time ever, the F-22 Raptor has had its baptism of fire. U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor jets were involved in the opening wave of the air campaign the U.S. and some partner nations launched in Syria against ISIS. Even though the extent of their involvement was not disclosed, considered the scenario it is quite likely the Raptor stealth multi-role jets flew Swing Role missions: by exploiting their radar-evading capability, the F-22s probably flew high and fast to provide cover to the rest of the strike package during the ingress into the enemy airspace (in what is considered a typical OCA – Offensive Counter Air mission), then dropped their Precision Guided Munitions (PGMs) on designated targets, and escorted the package again during the egress and subsequent return to base. Tasked for air-to-ground configuration, the F-22 can carry two 1,000-lb GBU-32 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, along withAIM-120s AMRAAMs (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles) radar-guided missiles and AIM-9 Sidewinder IR-guided missiles. With software increment 3.1 or higher, the F-22 can also drop 8 GBU-39 small diameter bombs, 250-lb multipurpose, insensitive, penetrating, blast-fragmentation warhead for stationary targets, equipped with deployable wings for extended standoff range. These bombs are particularly useful to improve accuracy and reduce collateral damage. The aircraft involved in the raids that marked the baptism of fire of the Raptor fleet were probably the six F-22 Block 35 jets with the 1st Fighter Wing from Joint Base Langley–Eustis, Virginia, that, as we reported, deployed to Al Dhafra, in the UAE, in April 2014. Indeed, the aircraft with the typical “FF” tail code were spotted in the images released by the DoD which showed some F-22s during mid-air refueling over the Persian Gulf in May. What we don’t know yet, is whether the initial detachment of six planes was joined by more planes due to the crisis. Interestingly, in an interview given at the end of 2013, General Hawk Carlisle said 5th generation aircraft would provide forward target identification for strike missiles launched from a surface warship or submerged submarine, in the future. The PACAF commander described the ability of the F-22s, described as “electronic warfare enabled sensor-rich aircraft,” to provide forward targeting through their sensors for submarine based T-LAMS (cruise missiles). Although it’s quite unlikely that the U.S. Air Force has already implemented this capability, it’s not completely impossible that the aircraft were involved in a similar mission on Sept. 23, designating targets for T-LAMs launched by USS Arleigh Burke and USS Philippine Sea. http://theaviationist.com/2014/09/23/f-22-debut-over-syria/

Haven't seen that - think its Skyfighters? Yeah Top Gun dogfight probably the best Cant decide which one was the funniest out of Indiana Jones and James Bond

The real reason for sending them in was for these shots

MANPADs are a given considering both countries had stocks - wonder if they have any modern Western types as part of building them up again? Syria is supposed to have SA-22 Pantsir type systems - although I suppose ISIL could have a few as well by now. There have been posts regarding an F-15 getting damaged by AAA - probably nothing. You thought it was a mess before.................

It would somewhat shock me if TK was to give away his lifes work and foundation for his entire business - I expect a lot of the code is reused in the mobile games as well.

First mission from The Enemy within part 1 campaign - which is an anti insurgent campaign. You go to Georgia to help them out and that crowd is the Georgian welcome party after you lead the flight into land - Notice the ferry tanks on the A-10!

The French Air Force has conducted the first air strike on a terrorist target in Iraq. Two Rafael's, one C-135FR Tanker were involved in a 7-hour mission from Al Dhafra to Iraq (1,700 kilometers) to destroy an ISIS target in northern Iraq on Sept. 19. Four GBU-12 LGB (Laser-Guided Bombs) were dropped by the two multi-role planes to hit a munition and fuel depot near the town of Zumar. http://theaviationist.com/2014/09/19/photo-rafale-multi-role-combat-planes-conduct-first-french-air-strike-in-iraq/

Also: Belgium = 6 x F-16AM Netherlands = 6 x F-16AM http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article4894.html

hmm - think we stopped at 60 round capacity in the last thread - but only usually 30 rounds loaded.

If it doesn't freeze any more as stock we know its a mod file likely causing it You don't have the enbseries mod files installed still do you?

Hello kom Search top right is often good enough but if not you will find them in the SF2 download section in user made campaigns http://combatace.com/files/category/744-user-made-campaigns

Can we confirm - does the game freeze with ZERO mods in it? - as in totally stock (just cut /paste out the mods folder)

Shana Tova!

maybe http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-29324424 A Syrian fighter jet which apparently strayed into Israeli-controlled airspace over the occupied Golan Heights has been shot down by Israel.

Blimey - quick to release these vids

Looks like SEAD / DEAD

Hitchhiking home

Any difference running it as admin? Any mods in it at the moment? Are the Geforce profiles default? - if not do you change anything in particular?
