Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 09-24- 07:19 PM Spanky here.. Nope just a JPG he just didn't compress it into crap like some people do. For those that don't know any time you make a JPG from a screen shot the software you use will let you change the compression amount start high and go down till you notice a major reduction in quality and then bump it back up a hair. Its hard to show off your plane when the JPG compression is so high it looks like somthing from 1992 Hehe IP: Logged

Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-25- 03:17 PM I'm almost to the point of adding weapons and loadouts to this thing. Nat, it'd make sense to me that I should ask for your help since you are doing great things with the Hog. Basically I just need to know how to do it. How to place bombs/rockets on pylons, any info that has to go into a loadout file, etc. I'm glad you all are liking it! I appreciate all of your comments IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 09-25- 05:41 PM Spanky here... Oh yeah a Mirage would rock. IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-25- 09:40 PM Guys, This thing is FUN! I just flew a mission, 3 Harriers vs 3 A-4s and it lasted much longer than I thought it would. In a Harrier you can easily get the advantage and make your kill. Very fun. I'm so glad this thing is turning out nice. The next release will be the best yet! IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-25- 10:46 PM Jag just asked me why I called it the Kestrel. Here's the link. http://www.vflintham.demon.co.uk/aircraft/kestrel/kestrel.htm It says Hawker P1127. Funny that's my callsign, and the other neat thing is 11/27 is my wifes birthday (and of course P for Pete... hehe) IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 09-26- 08:33 AM Air Cdre. "Sharkey" Ward said after the Falklands War that "at no time during combat would I have swapped my Sea Harrier for another jet." IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-26- 10:13 AM To anyone who may know, what aircraft would make the proper adversary to this one? Just thinking down the road what would be fun to fly against it and be historically correct. The Etendard of Argentina? That and I suppose my A-4 in a different countries paint scheme, but which, also Argentina? Thanks IP: Logged
AGAS - 5 Pilot	posted 09-26- 10:35 AM Argentina circa 1982... Airforce: Skyhawk A-4P Mirage IIIEA Daggers (Israeli-built Mirage) Canberra B.62 IA 58 Pucara C130E/H Navy: 16,000 ton Carrier 'de Mayo' (ex Netherlands 'Karel Doorman') Etendard (Super ??)

Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-26- 02:33 PM Thanks AGAS! IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-27- 10:12 AM I'm not sure which carrier it is, but if someone wants to make a carrier with a ramp at the front end that would be a blast to do STOL's from IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 09-27- 11:30 AM Opponents? How about a YAK-36? Then you can both try to get the hover advantage... ------------------ Snickers =FC= [This message has been edited by Snickers (edited 09-27-2000).] IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 09-27- 11:33 AM Sheeeeee-it, AGAS! The Karel Doorman was a Korean war carrier! Anybody said limited defence budget here?? IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 09-28- 01:46 AM Snick - the Yak-36 (Forger as it was called) could only land vertically, and it had to use ramp take offs, because with three engines (two lift+one cruise) it was too heavy to get off vertically. When you selected hover mode in it, it started descending slowly, nothing to stop it IP: Logged
AGAS - 5 Pilot	posted 09-28- 03:38 AM Hermes Class CV HMS Hermes...commissioned 1959...sold to India 1985...now called the Viraat. Invincible Class CVSA HMS Invincible...commissioned 1980 HMS Illustrious...1982 HMS Ark Royal...1985 I think it was the Hermes and Invincible that were involved in the Falklands Campaign.

wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 09-28- 04:07 AM Hate to rain on the parade, but that texture just won't cut it in the Falklands! Sure they sent a few RAF bombers down eventually, but air-to-air was the Sea Harrier A different bird, but near enough in outline. Canopy should be more raised, but who's going to know! Colour scheme should be Navy Blue, and if you want to play 'Sharkey' better put the 899 squadron 'flying Fist' on the tail. Sharkey flew with 899 , formerly 700 A squadron, the Intensive Flight Trials Unit ( My Old Man was Chief Air Engineering Officer of 700A at RNAS Yeovilton) Gives you a clue why their kill to loss ratio was so good. They were the best Harrier pilots anywhere! Not that I'm biased here, but I have met these people, and heard many a tale of Mr Wards less glamourous exploits as a Phantom pilot on Ark Royal..... ( Pa was AEO for 892 Squadron on the Ark when they filmed 'Sailor' on board. He avoided the camera though!) IP: Logged
AGAS - 5 Pilot	posted 09-28- 05:10 AM I know of someone ready to tip a bucket of paint over this baby as soon as its released....no not me....someone who can actualy do a decent job at it! It might just be a Seaharrier scheme too... Cheers, AGAS 5 [This message has been edited by AGAS - 5 (edited 09-28-2000).] IP: Logged
wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 09-28- 06:02 AM If anyone nneds squadron markings, let me know! IP: Logged
Robert Pilot	posted 09-28- 07:52 AM Great work Pete! Very inspiring for me, since I�m remapping the J21, like you suggested... /Robert IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 09-28- 08:34 AM Speaking of the Falklands, a C-130H from the RAF did this not so small feat of flying directly to the Falklands in 28hrs!! Not bad for a prop plane with a max speed in th 400 mph region! IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-28- 09:39 AM By this weekend I hope to have a gray paint scheme ready as well. I'll leave the navy blue one for anyone who wants to tackle that. WTG, yes, send me some squadron markings/paint schemes! (btw are they the same ones as on the RAF site? I have those already). Thanks Also, to make this Hawker-Siddeley Kestrel into a Harrier (or Harrier II) about the only thing that needs changing is the fuselage, and to move the wingtip wheels inward a little bit. The FM wouldn't need to be touched much since it's tough to get these planes to fly correctly VTOL, and this one is very close as is. If one of you want to convert this to a true Harrier (or Sea Harrier) go for it!! You may want to wait until this next release though [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 09-28-2000).] IP: Logged
wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 09-28- 10:31 AM My squadron markings etc. are all Sea Harrier....when the time comes, I may have to take on the conversion! I have access to some very good sources of data!!!!! IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 09-28- 11:36 AM Wakeup, Send them anyway, please. They'll give me some good ideas Thanks IP: Logged
