  1. Problem is the soft squishy human isn't always as G tolerant as the 9G airframe, see F16 GLOC videos. Physiologically the seat angle means the head/legs are closer to the heart, PBG mentioned elsewhere isn't the be all and end all, several F16 operators don't fly PBG/pressure vests.
  2. Yes. Brit Apache Ah64D had Rolls Royce/Turbomeca engines, different defensive aids suite, comms system, rocket armament. Don't think Starstreak ever got integrated properly. Possibly, they are green.
  3. Perhps the video title should be changed to 'Mossie every second Monday'? I'm looking forward to the next installment.
  4. Fishing trip without a bite Perhaps someone can do a highly polished wooden scheme instead?
  5. When it went past with the flames licking the back end I thought the engine had eaten a bird..didn't realise it was a dump and burn and thought we'd see an ejection. Good display but the Typhoon display a little later on was better IMHO.
  6. Maybe they are going to release two versions..hence the extra time taken to re-build the 3D model? Most likely someone just misread the memo with what to put in the Friday dream sheet.
  7. It was cheaper to have the real cannon fitted to the aircraft than to build and field a weighted space model/shape.
  8. Hello, I'm interested for Winwing Hornet stick, base and pedals. Shipping to UK? What is the price?
  9. Lots of failings that led to the loss of a young pilot. The fact the egress system wasn't properly serviceable was criminal. Nickle on the grass.
  10. NP. The dark grey overall with lighter grey underside is the current paint job, not sure if the lighter grey scheme still exists. Agreed, they were a very exciting jet to work with and the Squadron groundcrew and pilots were some of the best.
  11. You're correct, what I meant to say was no real night ground attack capability.... you'd think that I'd know better after working on them
  12. The Day version was the first version of AV8B, it had no real edit NIGHT /edit ground attack capability, then in 1991 the Night Attack version arrived with modifications that added the FLIR, wide angle HUD and NVG, and later the + upgrade which added a radar, to allow the AV8B+ to perform air to air tasks. So pre-1991 you'd see AV8B, post 1991 to the advent of the + you'd see a mix of Av8B and AV8B N/A. Now you might see AV8B+ and maybe N/A. From N/A onwards the USMC aircraft were generally painted in light two tone grey, and later - dark grey.
  13. Scuds aren't that accurate, for example in 2003 we were more worried about being hit by bits of one downed by Patriot than actually getting killed by a DH.
  14. USAF use stretched J's. C130J-30
  15. Good spot Bart, fingers crosseed for more news!
  16. If possible I'd like a Template for active airfields included, so no more sterile airbases or spending hours in the ME creating clutter.
  17. If it's a mod it's probably:
  18. I was going to say any info, but looks like it's quite on the Mossie front?
  19. Great post Bozon, and nice links Rockape. Per Ardua!

  21. Mine to. If you have a passing interest in the Harrier you should pic this up. If your major concern is that there's one too many rivets on the LERX then this probably isn't the module for you. Harrier is useable in it's current form and is great fun. Is it missing some features? Yes, butthe dev has been pretty good at sorting things out, I'm lead to believe that some outstanding issues are waiting for ED input.
