14 March 1984, 120 miles off the coast of Vietnam. Wichita 6 and 7 of VF-1/CVW-2/CV-63 USS Kitty Hawk// intercept a pair of Tu-16K Badger C's out of Cam Ranh Base. (I know there is a Cold War Assets Pack Mod with the Tu-16 with a glass nose, I'm trying to make some stuff without mods to be user friendly )

CVW-6 / CV-59 / Med' Cruise '91 / VF-31

Yes there is. "DAMS Transall"

My uncle was contracted from Raytheon by BAE (whatever it was called in the 80s) to create a new UHF array for the Nimrod in the nacelle on top of the tail. The British project manager stipulated that the housing should withstand 26 Gs (yes twenty-six Gs). Why? The rudder pins were rated for 26 G, therefore the UHF array needed to be able withstand 26 Gs. Why, and how the rudder pins rated to 26 G? He couldn't figure that out, but he and his team tried to explain they didn't think the Nimrod would hold up even after 5 Gs, but the project manager was adamant, 26G or he would find someone else. So they went to White Sands to use a centrifuge in the desert (rated for 42 G) and develop a housing that would withstand 26 G (he said a lot of housings disintegrated), but after $800,000+ they managed to create a housing that help up to 26 G.

Thanks, looking forward to flying the Entendard again!

Does the landing gear work?

Thanks seabat! That did it! I also tried landing the F-14 empty, little fuel that worked! Arresting cables do work.

This is a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing!!! I had to fix some .lua stuff in the liveries (glass/anchor/other small textures weren't showing up) and created some other liveries to make it more to my liking. I couldn't figure how to fix the texture for the object in the mission editor. I went back and forth with the different .luas you included and it didn't seem to make a difference. I tried landing an Su-33 a couple times and the arresting cables don't work, didn't think they would, but figured i'd try. Thanks again for this monstrosity I enjoy it! Edit: Arresting cables work!

Bitburg looks great! All the hardened shelters look spot on. Thanks!!!

Bitburg! Yes! Thank you!

I see Spangdalhem, very excited! Any chance for Bitburg just down the road?

Crown Vic works fine for me I am limited to posting images that measure 40Kb or less, so here's a reddit post.

They are not "D-Day" stripes (D-Day stripes were three white, two black). In the early/mid-70s the 58th Tactical Training Wing at Luke AFB, AZ experimented with several "hi-vis" markings on the then new F-15 called "candy stripes" or "sabre stripes." F-15B 73-112 (fictionally pictured as an F-15C) had black and white stripes on Air Superiority Blue while F-15A 73-103 in Compass Ghost Gray had red and white stripes and F-15A 73-100 had a yellow stripe lined in black on Compass Ghost Gray (similar to F-86s in Korea wearing yellow stripes, i'm still working on which specific F-86 units had which specific stripes). Previous Post with all three liveries. I'll make the skins available when I'm satisfied I've lined up all the lines the best I can. F-4s at Luke also had a similar "hi-vis" patterns during that time on SEA camo.

From his first post.

Still working great! Thanks again for all the great MODs!!!
