Very nice and dirty!

I'd like to think that this amazing screenshot is the culmination of over a decade of trial and error with this flight simulator series and it is truly amazing from many aspects, the scenery, the models, the environment, the planning and execution. It's all there in this one shot. Bravo John! Makes ...

4 of the aircraft are equipped with in-flight refuelling hoses and drogues:

THIS screenshot......!!!!

Geez I didn't realize they were going away so soon already! Where has the time gone??

The refueling .air files are set up so that the aircraft doesn't exceed about 250kts at cruise which allows you to catch up to them fairly easily for air to air refueling. The non-refueling .air files allow them to fly at their normal cruising speeds for going from A to B. Does that mean that refue...

Looks good Mark! Did you paint up the engine covers as well by chance?

Both. And I just realized by re-reading that thread about them that it only affects the D models. So I'll put them together for release, all of them and if people want they can just fix the D model textures which is only 13 total textures, each requiring about a 1x10 stripe of pixels along the nosec...

I have them courtesy of Mark Heimer but they need a fix to look correct on the model. Maybe we should release them without the fix (which is very minor). We have Bk42 specific AETC F-16 models for Holloman.

Sweet shot. Looks almost real!

Perfect!

Oh! DOH! I forgot to tell you guys that the latest version of the USAF RC-135V/W is either the block 40 or block 45. Either way the new version has a different antenna configuration than the previous USAF block models. Fortunately the new block model version already exists in the form of the RAF Air...

Have fun with them, let me know if you need any of the source files, XML files, etc.

Feel free to convert and release the whole line of my -135 series. I just don't see myself ever getting back to those. I'm not really in the FSX or P3D scene so have at it. I won't have any objections. No restrictions on the conversions, do with them as you please. It would be nice if you retained m...

Looking good Martin. The water and sunset environment looks amazing!

Time for our annual Happy Holidays check in from everyone.

I hope everyone is doing well, families are doing well and you are all having a wonderful holiday season wherever you may be.

Merry Christmas from Northeast Ohio, United States!

ANG replacements (according to the article). Can you imagine the USAF brass watching brand new Eagles going to Guard units instead of their front line squadrons?? Now that would be funny!
