ErichVon Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 ED is currently redesigning all pilot 3D models. Any help in finding high quality and high resolution photos of NATO pilots would be appreciated. The photos could be of the entire body and/or close-ups of various details, such as patches, name tags, etc. Also, photos of helmets, helmet attachments and devices (such as NVGs) and oxygen masks will be useful. If possible, please include information about the aircraft type to which the photos are related. If you are a pilot and would like to submit your mug for everlasting fame as a DCS virtual pilot, please provide a high resolution (3000x2000) shot of your face. See you under your chute! ;) Thank you! The other game I play, Aces High II, WWII era aircraft sim, there are a few old farts in a specific squad within the game that flew NATO era jets, USA. One guy flew the F-4 Phantoms and then the F-15, a 30 year career vet; another guy flew the F-14 Tomcat, another guy flew the Viet Nam era Skyraider ? (the delta wing, carrier based jet with the long landing gear) and another guy also is a fairly recent vet, but all the guys are age 50 or older. Most everybody playing in that sim, the older guys, are some kind of former military, me too, but I'm not a pilot. Guess that is why they run a short ad on The Military Channel every once in awhile. I don't want to speak for them, but if you were to play the game and read their forums, they are not too hard to find.

mvsgas Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 ... another guy flew the Viet Nam era Skyraider ? (the delta wing, carrier based jet with the long landing gear) ... Did you mean F-4D Skyray? To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
ErichVon Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Did you mean F-4D Skyray? A-4 SkyHawk http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=165 The plane I misquoted was a prop job. When I was in Cuba at the Seabee base I saw a pilot go up in an A-4 and really give the Cubans a show for their money. That was 1977 to Gitmo.
