  1. SF2 Vietnam comes with A-1H/J spad models remember......I still use the Razbam pits for them and the E personally
  2. Advertised in reviews certainly.........but never tried it or looked into it Might be a few emulators about anyway
  3. Don't worry it is just your eyes that are wonky.........
  4. YAP did stuff like this in most of the missions back in SF1..............consider a lot of Nam was CAS against troops................. assume you never got it?. Would hope it is easier with the mission editor but even then you will have to improvise and change objects to do things in different ways.
  5. thanks for finding that.
  6. A Dutch-led investigation into the loss of a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 has concluded that the airliner was shot down by a Russian-produced Buk surface-to-air missile system. ............................. The investigation has concluded that the weapon that shot down the airliner was a 9M38 or 9M38M1 missile, both of which are able to carry the 9N314M-model warhead—a 70-kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead with preformed bowtie and square-shaped fragments, which were found in the wreckage of the airliner. http://aviationweek.com/commercial-aviation/mh17-final-report-investigators-confirm-russian-made-buk-missile-shot-down-777
  7. This guy seems to have flown most things since the late 60s........some interesting tales on the F-4 and in the Tornado where he details some DACT with USN F-14 & FA-18s that went his way.
  8. Used probably but don't have much detail. At the start (1991) Federal Yugoslav MiG-21s and other aircraft were used over Slovenia. Later on when fighting moved to Croatia/Bosnia both sides apparently used some MiG-21s. Croatia had a small number including defected MiG-21bis initially but purchased 40 more from Ukraine and these were apparently used in a large 1995 offensive. The OOB for Serbia 1999 shows MiG-21bis..........this link from above shows some may have seen action. http://www.acig.info/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=47
  9. Other recorded combat NATO losses over Balkans were 1992 Aeritallia G.222 IR SAM 1994 Sea Harrier FRS.1 IR SAM 1995 F-16C (Scott OGrady) SA-6 SAM 1995 Mirage 2000K IR SAM
  10. As Strahi states there has never been any actual claims like that. This 52 min video was a series of interviews with the surviving MiG-29 Serbian pilots but seems to be blocked now......if you can find another copy it's worth watching to get an idea of the situation they were in.
  11. duffelblog duffelblog!!!! THE PENTAGON — The Pentagon released a report today requesting Congressional authorization for 500 gold-plated F-35 fighter planes. The F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation multirole stealth fighter intended to replace numerous aging aircraft, including the A-10 Thunderbolt II and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-35 program has been fraught with problems, including numerous delays, cost overruns, and failure to deliver on promised operational performance. The new variant, dubbed the F-35G, is proposed as an upgrade over existing F-35 models. In addition to 24K gold plating encasing its exterior, its cockpit is trimmed with wood grain paneling harvested from the endangered African blackwood tree and leather upholstery from the hide of the northern white rhinoceros. Its GAU-12/A 25mm rotary cannon is able to fire solid platinum rounds at a rate of 3300 per minute. Each round is handcrafted by a Swiss jeweler. “In an ever-evolving battlefield, it is imperative to have a military equipped with tactical vehicles that offer versatility, adaptability, and mother of pearl ice buckets to keep champagne bottles cold during missions,” reads the Pentagon report. “Our service men and women deserve to fly in only the finest combat aircraft.” Each F-35G unit is projected to cost 8.2 billion dollars, approximately twice the average annual GDP of some of the countries it is expected to bomb. The total cost,......................... Read more: http://www.duffelblog.com/2015/09/pentagon-requests-500-gold-plated-f-35s/#ixzz3oNYRtYRj
  12. Some views of the F-14 TCS (TV Camera Set) that later F-14s had under the nose. Pilots could slave it to the radar for long range Visual ID....similar to the earlier TISEO or the late TGPs like LANTIRN / SNIPER etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=150&v=PhuOPJ5pWsU

  15. Blighter AUDS (Anti-UAV Defence System) is a counter drone system that is designed to disrupt and neutralise unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) engaged in hostile airborne surveillance and potentially malicious activity. The Blighter AUDS system combines electronic-scanning radar target detection, electro-optical (EO) tracking/classification and directional RF inhibition capability. Blighter AUDS is a smart-sensor and effector package capable of remotely detecting small UAVs and then tracking and classifying them before providing the option to disrupt their activity. The system may be used in remote or urban areas to prevent UAVs being used for terrorist attacks, espionage or other malicious activities against sites with critical infrastructure. http://www.blighter.com/products/blighter-auds-anti-uav-defence-system.html
  16. Although expect it has a way to go yet........ Microsoft first released Skype Translator almost a year ago as a standalone app designed for Windows 8. The software giant is now integrating its impressive translation feature directly into the desktop version of Skype, opening it up to Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 users. Six voice languages will be supported at launch, including English, French, German, Italian, Madarin, and Spanish. Skype will now let you hold a conversation in any of them, without ever needing to learn a language. http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/1/9431119/skype-now-has-real-time-translation-built-in
  17. The mirror (another rag) is running the story as well.......and their source of evidence?? Social media users said there was a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria. The Russian Embassy in London was not available for comment.
  18. British soldier Jon Heywood has become an overnight multi-millionaire after betting 25p. The 26-year-old who toured Afghanistan won his fortune in an online casino and kept his win quiet for three days. He even went to work the following day. He said: "I couldn't believe that I'd won all this money at the time - and it still hasn't sunk in. It's amazing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34496035/soldier-wins-132m-after-gambling-25p-online Lucky sod! Note I don't endorse or recommend gambling in any form btw
  19. Open in notepad to change time / title/ aircraft & carrier type etc and stick in the Missions mod folder (which you may need to create. CARRIER_LANDING_NIGHT1.zip
  20. Glad it is all clear now (Yes that was sarcasm ) Keep comments clean
  21. http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=60728#p60728 Sorry to hear you're having driver problem, technology marches on forward at relentless speed... None of our current games are officially supported on Windows 8 and 10, but they do seem to run fine on other graphics cards, so hopefully nVidia will fix their drivers soon. In the meantime, you can try adjusting the in-game graphics options (turn off shadows, etc) to see if that improves things. Support from TK might not be forthcoming
  22. Very true unfortunately Casino Royale intro is my ring tone...............to much effort to change it really.
  23. They are easily my top 2
