Hadn't seen this - A full mockup of the Horton 229 built and its RCS tested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaJzKjtjZnY

The A-6 ini should have this: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=A-6A Intruder (64) AircraftShortName=A-6 AircraftDataFile=A-6A_DATA.ini CockpitDataFile=A-6A_COCKPIT.INI <----must be there HangarScreen=A-6A_HANGAR.BMP LoadoutImage=A-6A_LOADOUT.tga LoadingScreen=A-6A_loading.bmp LoadoutFile=A-6A_LOADOUT.INI AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll AvionicsDataFilename=A-6A_AVIONICS.ini UserList=A-6A_UserList.ini

Not seen this before - which pack did you download - the latest (link)? Are all the 29s like this?

Very impressed by this last night - a must in 3D though so you can blink at all the stuff coming out of the screen at you!

"New" Rivet Joints arrived at RAF Waddington on the 12th

Talking to a local media outlet, a Swedish Armed Forces officer said that Russian bombers practiced bombing runs to Sweden, Baltics states and Poland last week. Nothing new then. Close encounters occur quite often and some of them have much media attention, as happened in March,April, and June. The latest episode occurred in the morning of Oct. 28, when three escort planes and two Russian bombers flew in direction of the Swedish territory. The “package” was detected on the radar over the Gulf of Finland and for one hour they seemingly carried out attack runs against Poland, the Baltics – and the southern tip of Öland in Sweden. “I think the purpose was to practice various types of attacks as well as highlight the Russian presence in the southern Baltic,” Anders Persson, acting flight tactical commander on the Swedish Armed Forces said in an interview with SVT.se. “We are now seeing an increased activity of Russian strategic bombers in the area. Of course we have to follow developments and see what they’re going and what they are doing,” Persson said. Two Gripen fighter jet were scrambled to keep a close eye on the Russian planes. Even though Sweden is somehow used to such activity in the Baltic Sea area, the aggressive posture of the Russians makes the drills a bit annoying for the Swedish. “The difference is that when we practice, we do it together with a nation, we do not practice on any target in any country without the country being involved in the exercise. The Russian behavior is far more aggressive in their exercises,” Anders Persson, comments. http://theaviationist.com/2013/11/13/russian-bombers-sweden-new-attack/

I still have the issues of not: * being told what weapons are selected in the cockpit * not seeing the radar range display in the cockpit Best to use subtitles for weapons selection and radar range - only a few pits probably make it clear which stations are selected - although quite a few have radar range lights now below or to the side of the radar (depends on which jets you are talking about)

Ah sorry to hear - well at least nothing has totally ruptured - so hopefully just rest

There are several base mods that position the objects like that in downloads - worth taking a look

Concur there - some of them I have met have even had the audacity to come to the UK and put our native women to shame (not that difficult tbh)

You are joking - what happened? is it torn muscles or ligaments?

Hello folks, A really quick one today. The Bf.109 cockpit is finished and ready to go. The external model is behind, which is normal. The pit was started earlier and was made by two people, so this is exactly as planned. The landscape is also moving along. Changing the trees a bit, working with forests. Beginning to play around with hedges, obviously a very early test. We know how important these are. Our goal is to have them everywhere. Also redoing lake and river banks and intersections points.

ha - more footage http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24900297

Oooops

In a campaign the destroyed MiGs will affect the enemy supply - there is a quote from TK to that effect somewhere

One for Mulder and Scully.................. The iconic Grumman F-14 remains in service with the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF). Iran extensively used its Tomcats in the Iran-Iraq War and the F-14A is still today the backbone of IRIAF air defense. In the last years the “Persian cats” have reportedly flown against a very particular threat: the Unidentified Flying Objects, universally known as UFO. More detailed information about this weird use of the last operational Tomcats can be find in the October 2013 issue of Combat Aircraft. An interesting article written by Babak Taghvaee gives an exclusive overview of IRIAF F-14s missions conducted to intercept UFOs. But according to Taghavee these unknown flying objects didn’t conduct any extraterrestrial activity: “When Iran’s suspicious nuclear program was revealed to the public, Western nations, led by US and Israel, warned it to abandon its nuclear activities. The US attempted to gather information concerning the activities at three important Iranian nuclear facilities: the reactor of Bushehr, an additional reactor in Arak and the fuel enrichment plant at Natanz. A number of reconnaissance UAVs were sent to collect intelligence to help prepare for a possible attack.” To intercept UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), IRIAF F-4Es and F-14As, based to Bushehr to serve as QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) interceptors, were scrambled several times. But the American drones have astonishing flight characteristics:“Including an ability to fly outside the atmosphere, attain a maximum cruise speed of Mach 10, and a minimum speed of zero, with the ability to hover over the target” as explained by Taghavee. These performances along with their powerful ECM make the F-14s unable to operate their weapons. But, according to Taghavee, at least one time a Tomcat was able to come very close to an engagement with one of these “UFOs”: “In one case over Arak in November 2004, the crew of an F-14A armed with two AIM-9Js and two AIM-7E-4s spotted a luminous object flying near the heavy water plant of the Arak site. When the beam of the jet’s AN/AWG-9 radar painted the object, both the RIO and pilot saw that the radar scope was disrupted, probably due to the high magnetic energy of the object increasing the power of the reflected radar waves. The pilot described the object as being spherical, with something like a green afterburner creating a considerable amount of turbulence behind it. The Tomcat crew achieved a lock-on when it was flying a linear and constant flight path. Once the pilot selected an AIM-7E-4 to launch against it, the object increased its speed and then disappeared like a meteor.” This kind of flight were suspended after several attempts to intercept the US UAVs were made by F-4Es and F-14A over the Bushehr, Arak and Natanz plants, but, as reported in the article, another mission was launched around the 04.20hrs on January 26, 2012, when “an Iranian Air Defense Command radar site near Bushehr identified an unknown aircraft flying towards the area. An F-14A was ordered to scramble. At 04.30hrs it took off from TFB.6, ( 6th Tactical Fighter Base, placed near Bushehr) but seconds later the fighter exploded, killing both crew instantly. The reason for the incident remains a mystery, and the aircraft involved was one of the fittest IRIAF Tomcats, with the lowest flying hours in the fleet.” This Tomcat was the serial 3-6062, the one which could have been shot down by the “Revolutionary Guards” air defense as explained recently by The Aviationist. So if this was the cause of the “incident” (several sources believe the F-14 was not shot down by “friendly fire”), it becomes clear that there wasn’t any UFO involved in this mishap and it remains unexplained only the nature of the drones involved in the intelligence activity over Iranian nuclear plants. We can affirm that while many times in the last years several UAVs flew over Iran to gather information (such as the stealthyRQ-170 captured in December 2011), a drone with flight characteristics like those described by Taghvaee is still unkown, unless we assume the SR-72, a replacement of the SR-71, or something similar, is already covertly flying. But again, Taghvaee has no doubts about the nature of these unidentified flying objects, since in his article he says that“After two years of research on the objects flight profiles and examination of remnants of a crashed example recovered in 2006 (in both Iran and then by experts in Russia), the Iranian Army specified that they were US intelligence drones.” http://theaviationist.com/2013/11/10/f-14-vs-ufo/

Tell him to man up :) Is that really not possible on the EASY in game settings? - just assumed it was If you cant do it in game then I'm afraid it may require a lot more modding

Keep that separate - Green Hell is only to go in the VietnamSEA folder In game you should be able to select between the 2 terrains on the single mission screen
