Paging Wrench

correction... 5000 feet down to treetops from 5 miles out...which is usually doable---or in a pinch off a re-run---2500 from 2.5 miles out @400 knots would give the same AOD... -

Nice art Trotski...thanks...so im pretty close to having the F-4s approach perfect...and to explain my #s Spuds...500 to treetop level from 5 miles out at 400knots gives me a very flat traj while still keeping the pipper in the box (center-hud) all the way in to the ground...the visual is before I get to it, so that's my trigger...and its working well...Thanks for all your help Guys...my wingie thanks you also, lol... -

Thanks KJakker, for the nice read, and not to sound stupid but it went right over my head cause im not sure of a whole heck of a lot of things that you guys already know... First..i read some background arts about why we used the F-5 in Nam---but whats the truth? Second... how does your read relate to my first question...sorry to noob out on you... -

Thanks for chiming in Caesar...and no, I didn't mean to bait the Cat pilots...(well, sort of...)... I think a lot of pilots wrote off the 5 because of its stock FM---the MF model is a totally different rig IMHO...don't get me wrong---I love the cat and its brawlability (is that a word) its just got that special something...which ive also found in the 5...I think that's what makes SF2 so cool...so now all I need is a wingie who flies as well as you Caesar... can you hook me up? -

Well after logging a number of Tomcat camps I can tell you the 5 can more than hold its own up against it---the docs ive seen say yes ...fine, but the MF F-5 model more than equals, and in some instances surpasses the (MF)Cat in battle...much as I love the Cat, I feel safer in the 5 even if im down to guns and dogging 4 my life.... comments? -

Well..i just stuffed the "Tiger" into the first camp Burnsands...and ill tell ya---this puppy turns-n-burns and takes names bigtime... This addon ship is a must-fly for Nam pilots (F-5 Early Versions Pack) ---kind of a missing piece in the VN disk...the pit is a gem, and the FM is true-blue MF perfection... -

Tappedops posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I must say the cockpit and radar are probably outdated but very cool---I can fly and fight in it but the screens are all blacked out...meaning, Im missing something? Ive got SF2/NA/Online-update---that's it... Your thoughts and any help with the cockpit...Thanks everyone... -

Tappedops replied to Tappedops's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Got up early and started over to try the TMF version (74th Flying tigers) which has a working hook, and got it placed into the Rolling Thunder Camp. Well worth the work to get the A-7D/TMF working ---its a better flight model over stock...plus its got teeth... = ) -
TMF F-14 Tom V1.1 2005 / Column5?
Tappedops replied to Tappedops's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Thanks but im getting alittle gun-shy of too much "Messing" with files... it took me 4 hours to replace the stock A-7A to the stock A-7D (camo) for campaign use, only to find the "no arresting hook" bug of the D... its a great ship---but with no hook it cant land even on auto-pilot... -

Well Sir, I came from JF15 so the old birds keep me more than happy, and even though ive messed with JFA18 and the SF2nam... SF2 and NA would be my pick---no need to pile on unless you feel you need the whole series... -
