MigBuster

Have taken the for a spin in WOV - very nice! great cockpit and M61A1 cannon animation, and much needed HUD Just need WOV to be updated now so I can use the radar :dirol: Just off to tell TK to pull his finger out

What sounds are they is that USNstall etc? Yeah I have everything up to the max with the mod - but changes nothing - you would have to run Falcon to see what I mean. :moil:

Would be impressed - but in reality is there any plane you couldnt put a gun on and win against a Mig in WOV? TK needs to hire the Ace Mig-29 pilot from Falcon 4 - then the only place that F-111 will be going is very fast at low level praying you can outrun him

Kids today hey! - kids are no different than they have always been IMO - there have always been parents without morals, social misfits etc - thats never gonna change - just prey your not on the receiving end tis all. The environment they grow up in is a determining factor - every one is born with a clean slate - Most Films and computer games are unrealistic fantasy in every way - so if kids are not exposed to reality then they may be deluded by it - could by why that when I was in my teens I seemed to think I knew everything but actually knew sweet FA - didnt go on a rampage though - was probably subdued by too much TV - and my role in society - which was buying things I didnt need GTA has no morals - thats plain to see - who knows if games really influence people - I used to think lyrics in pop songs meant something - (as oposed to them being written down in 3 mins by a drunk tw@) so maybe - and if they really were influenced by GTA etc then society has to put up with it.

Jeez - Does that B-52 have its own hangar? where would you keep one of those? The F-22 is great - like the way he takes off like the real thing does at airshows - albeit on rough ground! Its a shame when these come down - pretty difficult to control - and you wouldnt think a Jet powered RC F-4 would be a great idea would you :beta1: Least when my PC crashes it only takes a day to rebuild it :)

There are only F-16 pits for AF Aeyes did the original 2D/3D - but has recently released Widescreen payware versions Zerks released a free 3D pit http://zerk.110mb.com/ then there are the Stopworks pits http://www.stopworks.us/

You need to run it in Win 98 compatibility mode - right click on the exe - Compatibility tab (for WinXP) - see the knowledge base there must be loads about it there. Any other problems you may have the wrong version - but i dont know what game you have. The gun editor works on all versions anyway i think

The F-111 carries Sidewinders doesnt it :close_tema:

have just tried downloading from http://www.column5.us/miragef.shtml - but my AV software screams blue murder and tells me its "Adware.win32.eshopper.p" as soon as I save it to the desktop. It may be okay - but because its coming down as an .exe - it may just be a false positve - though best if C5 checks it out I reakon

Happy Birthday to ya!

Yep taking an interest in the Nam air war certainly gives WOV that immersive factor that wouldnt be there otherwise - More I read the more I mod it I suppose - even 4 years later I havnt even began to cover some of the aircraft used in it in that much detail - the EB-66C/Es spend 99% of their time as AI recon or transport craft for example.

Now that looks like the type of thing that would appear in a Dale Brown fantasy!

Not bad actually!

How many rivets did the blue triangle carrier have on it though - that what I want to know

amazing work here as usual - am looking forward to the D version myself

B-52 Airborne Electronic Attack Technical Maturation Contract awarded Written on June 27, 2008 – 9:25 pm | by FIDSNS | The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] has been awarded a $14.9 million contract by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to develop and mature technologies required to enable airborne electronic attack from long distances, filling the stand-off electronic attack role. The contract includes systems engineering studies focusing on potential pod installation on the B-52H aircraft, as the designated demonstration airframe. This effort will advance the technology required for the planned Core Component Jammer (CCJ). “We look forward to maturing the planned CCJ technology, which will keep our warfighters safer as they complete missions in the air and on the ground,” said Scot Oathout, director of B-52 Programs for Boeing. “This is the first step in getting this capability fielded, and the B-52H is the right platform to mature this technology.” The multi-mission B-52H is the only platform in the Air Force inventory that accommodates all necessary attributes for jamming electronic attacks while delivering its full complement of weapons, including responsiveness, range, loiter time, size and power. “Adding this capability to the B-52H will strengthen its position as the most versatile aircraft in the U.S. inventory,” said Jeff Weis, CCJ program manager for Boeing. “The B-52 will still be able to deliver precision weapons on target while protecting other allied forces in theater.” The Boeing-led team will employ the electronic-attack expertise of Bethpage, N.Y.-based Northrop Grumman Integrated Systems. After successful completion of this initial three-year effort, a follow-on effort to demonstrate in-flight, stand-off jamming on the B-52 is scheduled for 2011-2012. from Article

"Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!"

Have seen plenty of Navy F-16 camo schemes over the years - but I only saw this F-15 one a few months back

Wasnt sure there were that many over here - now I know! WASHINGTON: The United States has removed its nuclear arsenal in Britain, ending its half-century deployment there and reducing its European nuclear deployment to six locations in five countries, a report said. The withdrawal follows the removal of nuclear weapons from the Ramstein Air Base in Germany in 2005 and Greece in 2001, according to the The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Strategic Security Blog, citing unidentified sources. The United States now has an estimated 150 to 240 B61 nuclear bombs scattered in Europe -- at the US Air Force bases at Aviano AB in Italy and Incirlik in Turkey, and at four European bases, in Belgium, Germany, Holland and Italy, the blog said. In November 2000, then president Bill Clinton authorized the Pentagon to deploy 110 nuclear bombs at the Royal Air Force Lakenheath air base, 113 miles (70 miles) northeast of London, the report said. There were 480 atomic bombs in Europe at the time, it said. President George W. Bush updated the authorization in May 2004 with an apparent order to remove the nuclear weapons from Ramstein, the blog said. The directive might have also authorized the pullout from Lakenheath, it said. Asked by reporters Thursday if the reported withdrawal was true, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said: "I haven't gotten that question since I've been secretary of defense, but I think I'm not supposed to talk about that."

You need to install the skin pack installer from the gamers tools for the skins - and I think there is a mod pack installer too - However they both come with good instructions in pdfs so just follow them. (Download the skins you want (.skn files) to a single folder IMO) You really need to get the Terrain HiTiles for AF if you can - so worth it http://www.hitiles.com/indexF4AF.htm If you want a 3D pit upgrade then Zerk has done a free pit - see some old threads below

Not unless he can reach over to the other side I guess

The bbc have an article on that today - its made of Carbon Fibre which reduces its weight a lot apparently

One problem is that if you have to go guns on a large flight - you don't always have the time to take out enough of them by setting up proper attacks - so its easy to get shot down panicking because you are trying to rush things! The AI wingmen are hopeless - they attack straight from behind - with the normal results!

My moneys on Spain - probably because Im a Liverpool fan - and the fact that they actually play good football. They will be against a German team that play a solid and well organised system - but dont have players that are anywhere near what they used to be IMO and have been riding their luck so far.
