So it was stated before the release the paint kit for custom skins would be released.. Now that the module is in RC status and waiting on ED...presumably the skins are done. Could we get the paint kit?

I should have been clear...the WAR HUD is a Block 40/42 item in the USAF inventory...

There is zero chance the footage is of a real flying F-14. There are *no* air worthy Tomcats in the US, period.

Oh this is precious

My company has been nagging me to use my PTO hours before they hit the "cannot bank more" levels... I've got 180 pure vacation hours stored up and I've maxed out my sick time benefit bank at 200 hours... At this point it's use it or lose it.

Honestly the only reason I'm itching for a release date is so I can put in a time off request from my work...

I believe they said they would like to do a F-14D, not that they're planning on it or can.

WAR is a Block 40/42 only critter.

So in the opening flights of OIF in 2003...VF-2 flew a few dedicated CAP/Escort flights... Does anyone know what that loadout was? Did they download the TGP?

No. You're a customer purchasing a product.

Maybe if ED ever presents a combined Iraq/PG map where you realistically will have to fly from...oh..Al Dafra or Al Minhad to Mosul...

Consider the possibility that HB commissioned him to do just a cockpit walk-around video and limit it to that. The movie was supposed to simply be a brief informational one on the pilots cockpit, not hype or "sizzle"

I'd rather have Jester than an incompetent human RIO who makes me completely useless in a server. My take away from all this is you like to make assumptions and not actually understand why people at least want the option of having Jester.

I sure hope not. This reeks of .. AI scary AI bad AI Kill Me Make Me Mad

The Hornet will be able to carry and deploy the Harpoon. USAF/ANG F-16s (which ours is based on) do not have Harpoon capability..however non-US F-16's can be made Harpoon capable.

Maybe the AI A-6 BN could be... TIGER

The F-14 is from the San Diego Air and Space museum annex...

Wags... Do you have a plan on when you'll be making a sub-forum for the F-16 like the Hornet? Once more info comes out?

Thanks Wags :)

Y'all are aware they've said that they're developing the AI A-6 to be able to be developed into a full module pending contract agreements, right?

Well she'd be extremely heavy then... She's sunk nearly up to her hanger deck

As a side note.. Thank you for clarifying this to everyone. So many people are clamoring for the B Upgrade and D, but don't realize that a good chunk of that info is still classified or at least sensitive and hard to obtain through legal channels.

That's going to be the real sticking point...since the APG-71 is a very close cousin to the APG-70..which is still in service.

The PTID wasn't a necessary component, but a few other pieces were (GPS Transponder, etc).
