Thanks Caesar...im still having trouble with the cat-ext, but ill get it... for now using the stock Tom, which is fine...

Caesar... how do you play a campaign with the new Tom?

Edit: Got it ...the Sparrow lights up the box (which I didn't notice with the sunlight) when its hot and ready---EZ as pie...Thanks guys...

HOT TRIG light on the ACM Panel, and "IN SP" or "IN PH" on the TID Repeat...ill try to figure that out, and I wouldn't ask if I had not bagged 5 birds on my first flight (norm-all-around)---I see the big circle but didn't notice any lights or ques---link to a diagram maybe?... im pretty happy how this ship fights...hella fun...

It seems everythings working correctly...the ship is off the hook nice...the Aim-9 gets that loud growl when locked as it should, but even though ive downed a bogie with the Sparrow...im really not sure about its fire que...theres no sound...am I missing something?---other than that---Awesome...Fightertown here I come...

Thanks Caesar... I put together a separate install called "Tomcat"...: SF2/NA/Tom121/Olnine-update, just to get my feet wet---I love the Tom, reminds me of the old Janes series. So how can I tell if the 1.21 is in there? Edit: Got it---I see the new loading screen---how cool is that---ill be reading through that thread tonight---Thanks to everyone whos helped me re-engage...

Too Cool Caesar... the deck is the sweetspot---alittle hairy but the 7 likes it there...im going to try a few rounds more with the 7... BTW..Which is the best Tom (mod?), and where do you fly it most...and YES...post all the Vids you want---Awesomeness

EZ for you to say Sheriff--- your probably a great pilot...loosing a 9 to Gs or a bad angle was happening a lot (and now im down to 1)... but I like your attitude. Ill root for ya in your A-7....

Copy Wrench... Got 5 clean recons in with A-7...moving on to the F-8/ 4 aim9s... and picking up a hearing aid for my pard...

F8 doc...sweet...Thanks KJ...

Thanks KJ... I guess when you run just recon in the A-7 you take your chances cause theres lots of A to A and theres not much A to G... checking out the F-8 ASAP Sir...

Edit: and since theres no edit...Im still nuts about the A-7---but going on a recon and maybe hooking up with 4 to 6 bogies with only 2 Aim-9s onboard---their kidding right. Is there a mod for this---4 Aim-9s would be the least---very least... comments please...

Thanks KJ... but the problem usually accrues in battle, and when hes showboating when I order rejoin...or picking fights when un-needed, I usually just RTB him just to save his own life...or my record----or should I just say, MA im going home, do what you want. I guess im not responsible for him if he wants to do his own thing...

S! Pilots, If I would have found this place before getting sucked into the "Its Arcade" vortex, being chained to F4 and JFA and all of its "Sim" or bust mentality, I would have been a much happier pilot. I was so brainwashed I ditched my WOV,...got my 18 carrier quals from a cert-tech and went hot-cold on the whole idea of flying jets because of the intense "Study" aspect of the load of the info. Now that that's all over and I don't want to prove anything to anyone (old age I guess) im tiptoeing around in SF2VN...mostly recon as I attempt to re-learn to love the whole fighter-pilot thing on my own terms...lots of auto-pilot, streaming "Radio Vietnam" (live365) and oldskool Banquet... Thanks for being here CA. Tappedops

Im grinning ear to ear just reading the first paragraph---I know I can do this thing if I just baby-step it... I went back to my old Logi attack3...its a oldie but a solid worker---no twist but no big---11 buttons, no real hat, but 4 +1 top the rest base...Your a good sport to work with me on this, a solid start will give me a better base...

Ok...kinda what I thought---example, in the first download you gave me if you open up the to mods folder...those sub folders get dragged and dropped to my SF2VN main where there match folders are...cool. While I gotcha here...I love doing recon in the Corsair, but now and then I run across a bogie...:is there an air to air explanation for that ship---I just want to keep it simple and map my stick in simplest terms ...there cant be more than 4 or5 keys involved... Thanks

OK KJ... Hate to say it but im going to need help patching... under 8.1 im getting no mod folder by defalt... so what I have so far is SF2+VN and go...no other patches---can you give me a clue Thanks

Thata girl...come ta papa... barooom...crackle..pop...

Perfect KJ... and ive got all of sunday off...sweet and sweet... thanks for looking out for the cherry...

Thanks Wrench... Im still reworking the stick assignments and the like...nothing like being a noob who has thousands of hours in hundreds of ships over a decade of sims and cant lock a bogie whos blocking your view...

Edit: Ok ive got it---yes I can nape with my favorite ship---so now what would be my best training mission? Strike...im guessing...

Not to noob-out on yall , but can I drop nape from my Corsair A7C ? or is that just light recon ?

Sweet CL... I gather the A1 H/J is the only Nape-ready ship in the sim? or are there others?---hows radio VN working for you...they just played the first 45 I ever had...epic
