Just out of interest, are the pilots moving to other squadrons or are they going to pilot the UAV's? I was just thinking of the money spent on training them etc, it must be a real kick in the teeth for them if they are going to fly the UAV's. I havn't seen one of those C-21's yet with a gattling gu...

Well, no question there... but I'd rather fly go from a Hog to a Lear than a Viper to a Predator.

Yeah, Mike mentioned that above my post... to which I remembered though. I knew of Fargo and Bradley. The Battle Creek I did not know about but I thought there was another one that did or is going to be doing the same thing but it's entirely possible I'm actually thinking of Battle Creek but didn't ...

Yeah... Fargo, ND got the C-21 as well. That goes with their UAV mission of course. I thought there was another unit that lost fighters and went to C-21 but I can't recall off the top of the head.

Man, those C-21 aircraft sure are getting pushed around these days, huh?

Steve is correct... the motherboard has an AGP slot and PCI slots but no PCI Express slots, at least based on the photo. Your choice is to either upgrade your motherboard to one containing PCI-Express slots or exchange the graphics card for an AGP one.

As with all modelers: make what you want to make. "If you build it, they will come." People on this site have created some nice fly-bys and other formation flying without use of a welded model that seems to appeal more to the masses than a model that won't really look good unless it's flyi...

I've made a batch file that, depending on what you pick(retro or current), will rename your aircraft folder.

Should anyone have any interest in this drop a note her or PM me. It's just a small batch file that does nothing more than rename a couple of folders.

C++ would be far more trouble than Visual Basic for the task at hand. If I had the time I could probably do it in Assembly, Ada, Pascal, Basic, Fortran, COBOL, etc... I just don't have the time. I would do some searching on line for VB text file manipulation. All you're doing it searching for a spec...

Never heard of a WZO... I've heard of a WSO though. Soon to be CSO.

don't they use a drogue that extends from the tail boom??? On some KC-135R aircraft they now have MPRs(mippers) or Multi Point Refueling. They are under each wing and provide a KC-135R aircraft with the capability of refueling coalition, USMC and USN aircraft without preventing boom refueling on a ...

Mike is correct: there are no aircraft there on a permanent basis. The 128th ACS is assigned there but have no aircraft.

Lol. Something tells me this goes to the back of the pile, given the amount of models of CURRENT aircraft that still have'nt been done (B-52, CH-47, E-2C, EA-6B, F/A-18, HH-60, F-35....) B-52 is already in the pipe. CH-47 is already in the pipe. F/A-18 is already in the pipe. EA-6B is on its way ou...

I believe the default C-17 is 44M. The March and Elmendorf MAIW ones are 44M. I make mine around 28-30M as the entire wingspan of a C-17 is only ~51M.

If I remember from near the beginning of this thread he was talking about creating a boneyard of retired MAIW packaged aircraft rather than an accurate real world boneyard, but then again I could have got it wrong along the way :lol: . I got that impression as well, Steve. But then his response for...

How are they are not from MAIW? At a minimum Nick created the F-15 so they are MAIW.

Plus A-10, B-1, C-5, P-3, and I'm pretty sure T-38 aircraft are there as well. And they were created by MAIW contributors as well.

Why would it be messy? By including all the files, the person can simply choose what (s)he wants to include in their setup and doesn't have to deal with either asking you for multiple files or just dealing with multiple downloads. Should you choose to include photos and such you simply create folder...

There's no reason to have them doing TNGs... it's just going to bog down ATC, particularly if they all take off and land at the same time. And since they're performing at night no one is going to be watching them. You should have them perform a normal flight from KDMA(or whatever you're using for IC...

"Voluntolds"......... :D Nice, I've never heard that before but that's probably a good term for certain situations. Another question is how long will we need UAV pilots? Seems to me like every episode of Futureweapons I watch, they talk about autonomous UAVs being the next greatest thing....
