I just had to screencap this when I saw it - I know what the cause is, and I think anyone who's installed mods has seen something like it, but the specific combination was really funny: I knew there was *something* wrong with them army dudes...

The medal citations you get in the game are kind of hilarious in how badly they actually match what happened during the mission. Just now I got a DFC for "flying into significant enemy fire with no regards to my own safety", when the truth of the matter is the engagement was between two Raptors and a pair of Fulcrum-As, flying 20k feet below us in the same direction. This was pretty much an execution...

I know that - but if you have the Max files, turning an F-16 into an F-2 isn't tremendously difficult, hence me wondering if you're only doing skins. :)

Are you only doing skins, or is there a chance for a CFT-and-Spine equipped F-2B at some point? Hmm. I should give skinning the F-2A a try, always wanted one in USAF service...

Won't the wing root tanks obstruct the flight control surfaces? The dorsal tanks appear inspired by the Typhoon, and while not the prettiest, they at least appear functional. :) Looking forward to seeing these in-game. Moar CFTs! :)

The Super Hornet International came up in a discussion on another forum a couple of days ago, and looking at the pictures available has left me wondering, could these mods be added to the Super Hornet we already have courtesy of EricJ? CFTs shouldn't be any trouble, nor the sensors, but the thing I'm most interested in would be the weapons pod for stealthy weapons carriage. Can such a pod be made and animated without making it part of the aircraft itself?

Nice! Can't download it right now, but it's on my list! Two quick ideas I had, seeing this - a squadron commander version (MODEX "111", otherwise pretty much the same); and a line version (switch the red for gunship gray). If you could make those as well, this excellent package would be even better! :)

Is there a way to get more realistic sizes and durations for the nuclear fireballs? I flew a B-1 strike mission and dropped a 1MT B83 bomb on an airfield, but the fireball was fairly tiny, and disappeared after just a few seconds. According to Nuclearweaponsarchive.org, actual 1MT fireballs rose to around 60,000 feet, for the most part, and hung around for hours....

I'd go for the i5, it's a lot more "future proof" than the G860 if nothing else. I'm still learning how not to get shot down, so I haven't tried the Vietnam campaign to see whether it'll bog down my i7.

Hi! I just installed the game and downloaded a bunch of mods (from here!), but looking at the way things are set up, I'm worried about running out of space on my C drive - just one of the mods I downloaded today totals 4 GB when installed, and my C drive is a 120 GB SSD... Is there a way to make the game look elsewhere for stuff like mods and savegames, or will I have to use annoying filesystem tricks to make the folder itself point to another drive?

Ah, many thanks. Couldn't find anything about this in the knowledge base.. though that might be bad search-fu. :)

I feel kind of bad for making myh first post to these boards a request post, but since I don't have much else to ask about... :) First off, an A-5E Vigilante (basically a humpback strike A-5 with 1990s ordnance and avionics, possibly TF engines). I'm going to be building something like that in plastic in the next few months if all goes well. Second, the advanced Tomcats that got the axe in favor of the Super Hornet really need some love. Third, the A-6G and A-6H would be really neat, as would a strike version of the Prowler airframe. And finally, the FB-111H, a stretched version of the 'Vark that might have replaced the Lancer if Reagan hadn't resurrected it. I wouldn't say no to weapons for the above either - the SRAM-II and SRAM-T; TACIT RAINBOW; and AAAM for example. :)
