  5. Thought the H was taken
  6. Yes fairly similar on t/w and range on internal fuel F-16C B50 Max USL thrust = 29,500 lbs T/W Min GW (21,000 lbs) = 1.40 (no fuel) Max TOW (42,000 lbs) = 0.70 Internal Fuel = 1073 US Gal Wing Loading (at Min GW) = ~49 lbs sqft (with tail lift) JAS-39C Gripen (Wiki figures) Max USL thrust = 18,100 lbs T/W Min GW (15,000 lbs) = 1.21 (no fuel) Max TOW (31,000 lbs) = 0.58 Internal Fuel = figure varies from 795 - 1122 US Gal Wing Loading (at Min GW) = ~46 lbs sqft (canard effect not known) There are already F-16 AESA radars available from Grumman SABR and Raytheon RACR etc that can give it a radar comparable with the Gripen (As well as the AN/APG-80 in the Block 60) http://www.f-16.net/news_article4726.html
  7. Yes the F-35A does have a hook - its hidden in the body work (if I can find that picture) Not backing this yet - would be better for DCS fans to get a new terrain
  8. Or just the final gasp for air...................... http://www.thunder-works.com/news.htm The rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated Currently we're leveraging 3rd-party technology to improve time-to-market. A very positive consequence of this move is that we may have console and mobile versions as well. But the best consequence is that now the game will see the light of day after all these years. It's been a long time without updates in this main page, but meanwhile we did updates in our Facebook fan page.
  9. US makes the best combat aircraft in my opinion - if you want quality you have the best - and a proven combat record with the F-16 most other platforms can't boast about. It may be the concept that the EF/Rafale/Gripen are all based on but its still pretty capable.
  10. Pretty sure its F-35Bs for the RAF and RN/FAA
  11. Yes if the PSUs on the way out it will be struggling to put enough power through
  12. posted on F-16 net Air Forces Monthly April 2010 Page 40, "Justifiably Proud!" The magazine interview Lt. Col. Fabrice Grandclaudon, the Commander of EC 1/7, the Rafale squadron that participated in the Advanced Tactical Leadership Course (ATLC) at the UAE's Air Warfare Centre where this encounter took place. AFM: You apparently said 'the Rafale rubbed F-22 - the most modern fighter of the USAF. During six encounters the F-22 hit its goal only once'. The 27th FS doesn't remember the engagements that way and say the F-22 scored several victories against Rafale. Did you offer DACT to the Raptors and did they decline? LCL G: I did not say we 'rubbed them', I said that there was only one shot claimed (ie a simulated kill) for the six that were set-up. I read in a recent issue of Air et Cosmos that it was two. As far as I am concerned, one or two shots of six Basic Fighter Manoeuvres (BFM) encounters is a victory for the F-22 but not an overwhelming one. Not like the one we claimed against the Typhoons after combat in Solenzara, Corsica during September (9 set-up: 8 to 1 for the Rafale*). The other set-ups versus F-22s were terminated for combat deck, an un-decisive situation or lack of fuel. We never shot them down, but we hope to do so soon since we are quite good opposition for them, and it is in the pilot's spirit not to give up! Like almost every nation, we offered Beyond Visual Range DACT, of course, but the F-22 was only authorized to do BFM 1v1 Within Visual Range (WVR) versus foreign countries (except the UK, with whom they did not fight even in the BFMs). I wish we could have done so, but we didn't - which bring me back to Air et Cosmos, where its information about BVR engagement with AMRAAM in stealth mode is wrong: besides the fact that we did not even fly BVR vs F-22s! F-22 was fitted with some specific device to increase their radar signature. It enabled us to have contact with them during work ups for example. But that's not the point here."
  13. Total Legends
  14. Might get worse - for single mission aircraft: http://www.airforcemag.com/DRArchive/Pages/2013/June%202013/June%2018%202013/A-10,-B-1-Vertical-Cuts-On-the-Table.aspx The Air Force may have to eliminate an entire fleet of a particular kind of aircraft—possibly all A-10s or B-1Bs—................
  15. Nothing in the SF2 F-8 section? http://combatace.com/files/category/621-f-8/
  16. What are you trying to download? There should be newer SF2 versions on this site in most cases
  17. Either monitor or graphics card related I would say Can you get updated drivers for the Monitor - if so do so
  18. Thats awesome - all it needs to do now is drop white paint on cars as it flies over :)
  19. Maybe best not to buy Watership down for Christmas btw Bunny will see you in Hell!! :)
  20. That is brilliant - thanks for posting - like the way it gives an over view of the post war French involvement also
  21. Might do with a bit of ini editing but not sure myself Not convinced an upgrade to TKs blanket could ever be better than this:
