Hi there,
I have been having a lot of fun lately with some recent military AI packages (afcad's, etc.) and just wanted to post some random shots. Thanks to Dave O'Brien for these wonderful add-ons. No slewing was used, just alot of practice! Most shot where taken around Nellis AFB and the surrounding area.
Hope you enjoy
Eric

Uhmmmmm . . . what Hornets? I see F-16s, F-15s and a Tornado (nice!) but no F-18s. ???

Thanks guys,

Geforce, no Hornets. It doesn't matter though, thanks for the great reply!

I had 2 more shots I wanted to add. I didn't want anyone to think I had forgotten about the oldies.

Remind anyone of the 'Black Sheep' squadron?

EriK, those are some awesome shots. You really have the stick down packed.

I tried to fly the F-14B next to a C-5 last night and the Tomcat was all over the place.

Appreciate the comments, posts like these really make it worth it Wink

More bases to come

If there is an airshow with in 2 states of me I'm there&&&&&&

Thanks for the comments,

Again, great packages Planespotter. I look forward to more bases. Thanks

JW, your right, the turns are the most difficult for sure!

One more thing. In 2 of the shots, you'll notice the airbrake is up on the F-15. Not sure why? Both shot where taken in roughly the same spot. Just after takeoff out of Nellis and banking to the left while climbing. Strange, but I think it looks kinda cool anyway!

Thanks again
Eric

Pippen, it's very very easy. Believe me, if I could figure it out anyone can Wink

First download ttools, decompile and it will give you 3 text files. Aircraft, airport and flightplans. These are your stock airports, planes and flightplans.

What someone else showed me on a different forum was to name my military files as such.
Flightplans_Military.txt
Airports_Military.txt
Aircraft_Military.txt

This way you can just update one set and won't loose the default files.

Once you download these files place the BGLs into your FS9/addonscenery/scenery folder.

add the airport information to your Military Airport text, add the AC info to your AC.txt and finally add the flight plan info.

The Ttools FAQ that is downloaded with the file is awesome. I would also download the Yroute which is so much easier to create you own flight plans. The link is in the AFCAD forum. It really adds some nice work to this for us military buffs Wink

PM me if you need any further help?

i pause the game for taking screens. much better for adjusting view angles and distances. but wait with pressing the "print" key,until the "sim paused" message faded away (you've got to be quick!).
