As more information is available, we look forward to bring it to you. We are sure this will be a great addition to DCS World. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Potentially Falcon 4.0 1.8 should be good for BMS but not sure yet. £3.99 at the mo and even AOTK is there not bad!

What the........... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34570876

TW gave us some earlier versions without TCS & IRST (Iranian F-14 has none of that either) but you we still got a Data Link and IFF so pretty good overall.

Reasons can include that the 3D model does not allow a Decal to be placed in a certain location.......or for e.g. it malforms the decal.

Yeah reported here as well http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-34593948 Says it was going back to the US from the middle east RIP sir

Welcome to CA Chief!

Like with any files don't just overwrite them...........e.g. you could be copying older versions of the files for a start. Make backups of folders/files before changing things........or test the aircraft without overwriting any files......in most cases the files already there are the best ones.

4 short parts......goes into Visual ID and systems for such

SF2 Vietnam comes with A-1H/J spad models remember......I still use the Razbam pits for them and the E personally

Advertised in reviews certainly.........but never tried it or looked into it Might be a few emulators about anyway

Don't worry it is just your eyes that are wonky.........

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.

thanks for finding that.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
