  1. https://github.com/ThunderStruck-Simulations/F-23A-Spectre-Mod
  2. Looking forward to its arrival fella. Kudos to you and your team.
  3. No C-141 unfortunately, but the C-5 is here -
  4. F-22 has a central receptacle, whereas the -23 s on the port upper side above the intake.
  5. Pretty sure I’ll purchase, it will be interesting to say the least. Somewhere waaaayy down the line, I would actually like to see a ‘H’ model (UK equivalent being the ‘K’). Good ‘ol’ steam gauge cockpit! Bring it on!
  6. Maybe ED’s login servers have gone down again? Has happened a few times before.
  7. Not familiar with those mods from Hawkeye, but with regards to OvGME - make sure that the file(s) you are trying to use have the correct file structure in the zip. Sometimes the initial sub folder may be duplicated twice. Also ensure that, in your case OvGME, is pointing to the correct location in DCS (detailed in the readme). (I may not be using the correct terminology, but in my case, sometimes when you actually unzip the file, the first folder is named the same as the next underneath - which ‘can’ confuse things like OvGME, or the one that I use - JSGME). Hope your issue gets resolved soon.
  8. Just some Sea Eagles, rockets and iron bombs, that’s all it really needs! Looking forward to whenever this comes to fruition.
  9. Still hoping for Lynx. Many variants to choose from, very versatile.
  10. https://youtu.be/cr_NjlWLPzU?si=LcFwX5aNpy_dT_hH This guy has me in tears of joy. Glad he will be posting again soon . . . Probably.
  11. Some great images there chap! Love some of these stumbled upon museums - can hold some real diamonds! Hope you and the family enjoy the rest of your vacation.
  12. Nothing around so far (unless something is in the works?). An iconic airframe for sure, all Constellations are in my opinion some of the most beautiful aircraft.
  13. Great recreations - some of them I can remember the photographs - which in themselves were stunning, but after your touch, convey a little more “feel”. Very nicely done.
  14. Sometimes it could be the file structure - for instance it could say “19SQN” as an example, when you click on it there is another “19SQN” underneath, it is THAT one that you need to place in the liveries folder. Make sure that there isn’t another layer above - so to speak.
  15. Thanks Rudel, an interesting and useful addition. (Now that I know what it’s for!)
  16. Glad to see you’re still around fella, enquired a while back with HB head bods as you were MIA, and hoping had not fallen fowl of anything - all was told was “he’s fine”.

    Anyways, good to see you in the post list again. :thumbup:

      Thanks, I’m enjoying life, very active with my family and friends, just tired of forum drama.

      How you are making out these days?

      I'm good chap.

      Scaled back somewhat on forum due to reasons not unlike your own, but pitch in sometimes.

      Was just a little concerned due to your absence - get to our age, could be anything!  I Put a thread up and all! :grin:

      Glad to see you are vertical however. 🫡

  17. Not yet implemented bud.
  18. Seen a few bird impacts, had 2 myself (one delaminated a radome, the other made a bit of a mess of a gear door retract mechanism). Given the airspeed of the Spaniard, it sure had the ability to severely endanger the pilot where ejection may have been the only saving grace. In some videos, it appears that the majority of the birds carcass bounced off the windshield as it shattered - what appears to be the body can be seen spiralling down behind the aircraft, along with some bits of windshield. The pilot would have certainly had a shotgun blast of windshield shrapnel to contend with though. An emergency that was well dealt with in my opinion, climb away from crowd to evaluate any detrimental effects to control, then land. Well done.
  19. Handy feature if that IS what it is for (I haven’t tried it either!). Cheers Rudel.
  20. It was just confusing me, and yes, I’m going to blame it on my age lol. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one querying it!
  21. Runway maintenance crews painted facing the wrong way!
  22. I have to ask, as I’m old what does this achieve? Does it notify you when someone else downloads whatever you have subscribed to? Very genuine question.
  23. Only a stupid question if it’s never asked . . . From a friend who flew the puffer - you set the angle for VTO, and when weight comes off the wheels, you use the puffer jets to fine tune your ascent. Transitioning to forward flight is just a case of reducing angle of thrust in step like fashion as speed increases. There are puffer jets in both wingtips, either side of the tail, and in the nose. https://www.centennialofflight.net/essay/Theories_of_Flight/control/TH28G9.htm
  24. Good catch, there certainly isn’t any hole upward through the wing near hinge points on the real airframe (ALL variants).
  25. Was a little sceptical initially upon installing this, when Syria came out - for me it was unflyable, a stutter ridden flick book that was only reasonably smooth more than a year later. This however, even on my relatively old machine, is butter smooth already. Echoing others - the greens are a little too much I feel, Germany doesn’t really look like that. But the layout of the terrain is refreshing, I find myself distracted quite often when for instance a SEAD mission suddenly becomes a sightseeing exercise! I eagerly hunt out Schloss, bridges and other unique geographical items. There seem to be a heck of a lot of dirty great smokestacks and power stations! I have a feeling that a lot of them should be something else, and maybe these are just placeholders? Flying the border is easy enough to mimic, it is visible, and was still perfectly visible at many thousands of feet altitude during my short stint there on exercise in the late ‘90’s. This map holds great promise, and there is still so much more to come. Well done Ugra. You keep setting the bar higher, and you do not disappoint. VERY happy.
