  1. All of the list have aircraft that are in museums, if you have a member near RAF Cosford museum for the TSR 2, Contact Cosford T: 01902 376 200 cosford@rafmuseum.org Royal Air Force Museum Cosford, Shifnal, Shropshire TF11 8UP That's the contact information, you could always give them a ring and ask if you can get photo's from inside, they may even have some on file. Good luck
  2. Just tried it in 2.7, have the vsn aircraft, in my User/myname/savedgames/DCS Openbeta/MODS/Aircraft. I'd download the latest version and try again
  3. Bremspropellor, I stand corrected. The RAF Hawk was not fully pressurised, and on a previous model in this sim you would have the effects of Hypoxia if you exceeded that height. Well done for reading the whole manual. So the USN must have put some big bucks in the update to the basic airframe, not sure we would have done that even with the latest version, MOD is noted for being penny wise but pound foolish as we say in the UK
  4. Re Bremspropellar, Nice job with the Mach.1 but as you should have passed out after 10k feet. The old hawk is not pressurised, it's up to the crew to keep their masks and and stay safe. I don't know what the normal training/operational window is for the hawk....but it ain't 40kft lol
  5. Christmas has come early, THANK YOU to all involved, sorry I'm about to splatter it across CVN-72 . amendement, never made it to the USS Abraham Lincoln, had to do a lot of adjustment of my system so I didn't steer off the runaway, a different set up than what I'm used to, but that's not a critism. I abandoned my flight out, (Dinner calling) but descending through the clouds.....in the 1/2 dark of the room , for a full minute, I could feel I was in a PROPER simulator, I've flown, it's different and so are the commercial and military sims, but with the clouds, sunset, needing a gap etc, I was TOTALLY ABSORBED...and THATS where this system is the bee's knees. THANK YOU TO EA, AND ALL WHO ADD TO OUR ENJOYMENT, G'night.....lovely plane!
  6. Thank you Sushy73 for that. Later....I realised what was wrong, I re-downloaded the update on page one, then subsititued the .lua files, I was a version late...and therefore the lua's didn't work. Thanks for the steer, SOOOOO Much work putting carrier task group back! You saved the day, Respects
  7. Do I put the whole file in or am I replacing the .lua file, sorry to be thick
  8. Sadly, the 2 x lua files have made no difference in my case, the game will not load with the Mirage F1CT installed. wierd, but thats the way it is.
  9. Thanks for that gent's, all my PG missions had an F1CT....thought I'd lost a LOT of work with static objects all around the Gulf map, Merci
  10. Love the new skin and the new prop effects, well done and thanks for the updates
  11. I've bought it....but stone me how many switches are there in this thing, gonna take me 30 minutes to find some of them, The Soviets make it simple to fix, but if I was flying the real thing, being a lanky thing, I'd scratch my knee and turn off something useful. I recall the Tucano had a problem with the something like the handbrake and fuel cut off, being side by side. There was a big air safety meeting and lecture from the Station Commander at RAF Linton on Ouse, there will be fire & brimstone on the next inadvertant fuel cut off, foul up.....and sure enough, there was one about 1/2 hour later.....by the Station Commander as he turned onto the runway....had to be towed off....he was human! Not the most ergonomic machine I've seen
  12. As a non VR, just got a big screen, I was glad to see the pilot body....until I realised I could'nt see the switches, the Gazelle panel was all obscured, Sorry mate, your fired. As long as I can see a figure, when I take a look alongside, I would not inflict my face on him, he's got enough trouble's with me driving. Odd how it doesn't work out the way you would have liked. IMHO
  13. See the Puma is coming up for replacement, and the AW139 is proposed as an off the shelf replacement. I was fuming when we gave our beautiful Merlin's to the Navy, they must've laughed their socks off at that one. MOD decision making at it's best. So why not re-order the version we had before, commonality of spares etc when operating alongside the RN and I'm sure it's more capable than the AW139....and more importantly, looks better. haha Anyone know if the RN used them as a replacement for the junglie Sea King/Westland Commando?
  14. I too found the video after buying, glad to see that landing is not a skill you need from the start, just dump in on the ground'll do, That's my style of landing too! Poor old Petrokov the AI guy is gonna fall out with me pretty quickly. But it looks a beast doesn't it. The Afghan's called it The Devils Chariot, so it must've been effective....until the stingers showed up.
  15. Wife just bought me another present....and I came upstairs and bought this, tee hee
  16. 405 Was the plane out of RAF Linton On Ouse, that I had my last flight in the RAF, It like me is retired now, could you do a number change on that skin for me, No problem if it's a faff. Thank you
  17. This looks really great, thank you
  18. Just found this and downloaded the Merlin, warts and all it looks great so thanks for even attempting it. If the scale is wrong, I've not really noticed it....pilots were almost always smaller than me anyway haha. All efforts welcome, some work some don't, that's life. Best to know when to stop when it's getting away from you. If you get back to it' It'll be great
  19. I can recommend the MFG Crosswinds, been impeccable for about 2 years, but there is the odd aircraft that does not work well with them, usually a MOD. You may not have to pay $600 then. Nice kit of the T-45, post a piccy when it's done. Got a 1/48 Hawk I've still to start.....retirement not too far away....just got to get there first !
  20. Thoroughly enjoyed this today, aye it needs some more wee updates, prop not great in certain views, but it's a lovely wee trainer, COIN aircraft. See grim Reapers for a video instead of a hand book, well done the Reapers for the info, and the makers.....WELL DONE THANK YOU
  21. What I'm getting from all this, is just how SMALL the carrier decks are back then, and we have the U.S. giants to play with. With a prop plane, It looks big...but coming in with a 50's 60's jet...scary
  22. I have similar, since the free period it wants key for my f-15/su-27 etc that are on my FC3 KEY. I put it in, but next time....still asking and totally won't let me have the mig-29....wierd. But thanks for the steer to get rid of the nag on the nav system I don't use either
  23. I have the same problem, as Hakalus, AND I had an update to malwarebytes, done all the install/repair etc, I notice it has been missing from the Options/control section of the GUI, also that the Coremods/sa342/bin folder was empty. Done ANOTHER repair, set the a/c 6000 ft, had a non rotating falling safe, where not one single switch was operable....before impact....then I found this page...Thank you Hakalus, for some reason it took me ages to get the correct syntax for Malwarebytes to accept what I was trying to do, and accept the dll. About 4 repairs later I got it right, very frustrating
  24. Yes I've JUST found the page, THANK YOU, Will try what they say. Which was MALWAREBYTES stops the /bin/s342.dll file, suspects its malware and that's all the switch settings and what allows you to be a 'player' not a veteran etc. Took a while to sort. but got malwarebytes to accept NOT to scan that file, and it all worked
  25. My Gazelle has stopped working, maybe since last update. I have done repair/clean/update. Started with no mods. Copied my back up version accross and it updated. Still no response. The gazelle does NOT appear in the OPTIONS/CONTROL - list of installed modules. But is listed as installed in module. I still have the key but it now says keyless. I unselected it in module manager and restarted the game, it came up as still installed. When I try to select the Gazelle it is greyed out and only available up to Veteran status. any assistance appreciated. dcs.log file in winzip attached my zip files.zip
