Interesting that if you could talk to someone who could keep their cool they could potentially land it without having to actually fly it. Ted Striker never had an autopilot system like that!

The filmmaker behind massive hits like “Independence Day" and “The Patriot” has locked in a filming location for a remake of the 1976 movie “Midway," starring Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda, about the decisive 1942 naval battle that became a turning point for U.S. forces in the war in the Pacific. After scouting filming locations around Pearl Harbor, German director Roland Emmerich settled on Oahu, and will begin filming the $100-million blockbuster next month at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickham. The same location was most recently used to film Cameron Crowe’s offensively awful film “Aloha,” starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. Woody Harrelson will be starring as the legendary Adm. Chester Nimitz, who, with the help of innovative U.S. codebreakers, foiled a Japanese ambush at Midway on June 4, 1942, less than a month after the conclusion of the Battle of the Coral Sea. https://www.navytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2018/08/28/midway-remake-to-start-filming-next-month-on-oahu/?utm_campaign=Socialflow+AIR&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social

F-15C: Aggressors BFM Campaign on Steam Purchase from: STEAM Store F-15C: Aggressors BFM Campaign The F-15C Aggressors BFM campaign puts you in the cockpit of an F-15C Eagle as a new Aggressor pilot with the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base. Based on real world procedures, you will fly as "Red Air" against "Blue Air" forces. Upon arrival you will fly a familiarization flight around the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Then you will face a series of challenging Basic Fighter Maneuver (BFM) missions against similar and dis-similar aircraft. Your opponents include the F-4E, F-14A, F-15C, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, MiG-29G, CF-188 and MiG-21. Additionally, there are 10 single player practice missions with in-air starts so you can perfect your BFM tactics, techniques and procedures. There are over 1,000 voice-overs and over 45 pages of briefing material including the F-15C Amplified Checklist, RED FLAG Spins, Red Forces In Flight Guide, Maps, Diagrams, Custom Kneeboards and Mission Data cards. DCS World War II Update An important aspect DCS World War II is the addition of additional player-controlled and AI aircraft. Some of these include the P-47D, Mosquito, A-20, C-47, Fw 190 A-8, and Ju-88. All of these are various stages of development, and they will serve a vital role in fleshing out the DCS World II experience in concert with the new damage modelling, new World War II era maps, and dogfight AI. As each of these elements progress to the point we’re ready to introduce in DCS World, we’ll be talking about them much, much more. Today we’d like to show off some of the P-47D skins we are working on, as well as the Mosquito. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Which games in the series do you have exactly?

Most definitely not an F-5F right Iranian media says that a new Iranian fighter jet was exhibited during the National Defense Industry show. Images released by various outlets show President Hassan Rouhani sitting in the cockpit of the new “Kowsar” plane, a “fourth-generation fighter”, with “advanced avionics” and multi-purpose radar. https://theaviationist.com/?p=59136

I have 36 SAC documents and a pilots handbook for the B-36H - but never seen one moving with a load of others parked on the same ramp - some kind of awesome sight.

Can't get my head around this aircraft ever existing! let alone flying.

In groovy formatting. http://mig35.tass.com/?utm_source=tass&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=banner_752_150

Not spent any time on it myself but https://www.mudspike.com/combat-air-patrol-2-battle-of-hormuz/

Had no idea the B-36 was ever in a film - what great footage.

Almost forgot this http://www.combatairpatrol2.com/

Wow, hi MadJeff not much new in these parts outside of what modders are putting through. Oh TK has now just put up all the SF2 games by $10 each - and if you don't know the Strike Fighters and Wings Over series was replaced by the Strike Fighters 2 series from around 2009 with the last patch now being 2013 - but they were DX10 and changes to work better on multicore CPUs at least. SF2 North Atlantic might be worth trying for starters if you like the Tomcat and intercepting Soviet bombers. DCS has this year seen some big changes with a new DX11 engine and although most modules are Falcon 4 learning curve, there are exceptions like the "Flaming Cliffs 3" module (soon to be re badged as "Modern Air Combat" with more jets) - these are closer to SF lite in terms of learning.

Straight out of a James Bond film: It was considered one of the CIA’s worst failures in decades: Over a two-year period starting in late 2010, Chinese authorities systematically dismantled the agency’s network of agents across the country, executing dozens of suspected U.S. spies. But since then, a question has loomed over the entire debacle. How were the Chinese able to roll up the network? https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/15/botched-cia-communications-system-helped-blow-cover-chinese-agents-intelligence/

Interview with Indian pilot https://hushkit.net/2018/08/15/flying-and-fighting-in-the-mig-27-interview-with-a-mig-pilot/

Only thoughts at the minute are wondering what flight or sim experience the pilot had.

FE 2 and SF2 should run fine on Win 10 Would suggest if not already - right click the shortcut to the exe and go to the Compatibility tab: In there tick Run this program as administrator and Disable full-screen optimisations Then go to Settings Gaming and switch Game mode off.

Hi Antares long time no see!

May 2018 F-14 Ace discussion panel Asad Adeli (Iranian AF) Herman Cook (USN) Larry Muczynski (USN)

NA Map is just Iceland and surrounding water pretty much You can have the F-14 avionics in the Arrow if you wish but yes somebody would need to spend some time on it. SF2 Europe might be the best bet and recommend the NATO Fighters Mod in that at least to get a good terrain Also with SF2E you can get the Scandinavian Front 2 although don't think Norway is on that.there was a Norway map but might be set for WW2

Ill received on the basis no one bought it is TWs line I guess or even just badly marketed I mean it has a flipping F-14 on the front cover. NA is different to the other 4 in various ways and it adds a lot to do with the Naval battles, so more bombers with Cruise missiles and ships firing tons of SAMs at them.....bomber interception is one of the main things I did a lot of in it and you have bases on Iceland anyway not just carriers...............however you can do bomber intercepts in any of the series really.
