It's been a long while since I've been here to MAIW. Been quite a while since I've run FS... Looks like you added long list of great AI Packs. Remember when you all were just starting out.
Just some constructive criticism here on the P-3/EP-3E packs...
1. They look great
But way too many tail flashes... A squadron is very lucky if they have ONE plane with a tail flash, let alone two, definitely not every aircraft in the squadron. In the P-3 world. There simply are not enough P-3's to go around. P-3's are changed between squadrons, faster than the common man changes underwear. You will go on deployment with 10 aircraft. A year an a half later, count yourself very lucky if you have ONE of the planes you had on the last deployment.
2. EP-3E's. Haven't used the old style fiberglass M&M's and Canoes since the ARIES II aircraft were brought online in the early 90's... They all have a newer style radomes, and thus tactical gray not black. Also, can't remember off the top of my head, if your's has black nose radomes or grey... Would say black ala that's the way they were on the ARIES I aircraft. Since the rollout of the ARIES II aircraft they have been gray. Worthless trivia here... The first couple of ARIES II aircraft were actually all tactical gray, few pictures out there, but do to all the secret squirrel crap in the back of the bus, the aircond couldn't keep the tube cold enough for all the avionics, thus, they went back to the "old" white on gray scheme...
Take the info as you wish... I will update my packs accordingly for my own personal use. Thanks for all the hard work. There is no way in the world you could get every pack perfect, every time, but you guys do, do a awesome job.
