Same story here: been away for a very long time and I'm doing a fresh install on a new desktop. Installed CMANO from the CD.
So now I need to locate and download versions 1.08 thru 1.11, and install them sequentially?

<r> My F/A-18 squadron was training at NAS Key West in Sep 1993. A pair of F-16's were kept on the apron at the ready, fully armed and protected by a laser perimeter and armed guards. We were told to stay the hell away from them.<br/>
On Sept 19th a Cuban MiG-21 came roaring over the runway and ...

<t> I just don't see how a Harrier could carry a Harpoon. <br/>
I was an F/A-18 Hornet pc and have seen real Harpoons. They are LARGE. <br/>
I've seen Harriers at air shows, in Falklands War videos, and a couple times when we were out at sea with the Phibs.<br/>
<br/>
If you've ever seen a ...

<r> Just want to make sure rmwilson is aware that you CAN do a "simplified" off-axis attack with CM's. Once your birds are away, select all the missiles in the volley, hit F3, assign paths/waypoints like you would for any other unit. <br/>
Shown below, I just launched some Tomahawks against the ...

Good Lord, after reading Schlosser's "Command & Control", you won't be able to sleep at night.

USN
Strike Fighter Squadron 81
1992-96

He was a great guy.
He got mixed up in the Tailhook scandal because he was an aide to ADM Kelso prior to taking command of CVW-17. The rumor was that this was his last tour and he was being forced to retire.

I've played this one a few times. The only thing that keeps me from labeling those LCS's as useless is their surveillance drones.
I mean, I've been reading about these boats for years, about how capable and kicka$$ they are. I just don't see it.

<t> Snatching comfort from the jaws of adversity! Hahaha!<br/>
<br/>
Coldest I've ever been in my life: working the flight deck in the North Atlantic in January. During flight ops, we would stop by the Tomcats on the "front porch". This was an area right by the island where the F-14's did their ...

<t> @Weasel: We were masters at finding nappy spaces!<br/>
When I first reported to the squadron on my first cruise, I was temporarily assigned to the Supply Dept/S-6/RAM as a supply runner: I had access to spare parts lockers/spaces all over the boat. If the requirement for a spare part wasn't an ...

<t> Old Sara! This was her last cruise before decommissioning.<br/>
<br/>
I think my bird was "hard-down" for some maintenance issue at this point. It was on the hangar deck, and not likely to be fired up for a little while. I only needed to be nearby to be ready to ride the brakes in case it had ...

<r> Going through pics from my days in the USN. Thought the board might appreciate this one. <br/>
I was an F/A-18 plane captain for a while. Here we're on a Med cruise aboard USS Saratoga, one of my buddies caught me taking a nap in the engine intake of my jet. Hahaha!<br/>

" F-5E's in Key West "

VF-45 Fleet Aggressor squadron? Back when I was in the USN (mid-90's), VF-45 had F-5's and F-16's.

"How do I prevent a unit from leaving it's mission zone (marked by RPs) and going after a contact detected by another unit?"

You should be able to stop this behavior by unchecking "Investigate contacts outside the patrol area" in the mission editor.

I only gave them 4 Exocets.

<t> Yea, hellfish, I just saved a new copy of the scenario and added some Exocets for the Etendards. Surely they were operational during the time period covered in the scenario (01May-07May): the Sheffield was hit on 04May.<br/>
<br/>
Even without the Exocets, I'm giving the Brits a run for their ...

<t> Yea - I'm reading "100 Days" by Admiral Woodward right now. The Brits suspected the Argies had maybe 5 or 6.<br/>
<br/>
I was wondering if the empty magazines at Rio Grande were a maybe a random event that fired (?) <br/>
The LDGP bombs, the Magics, and 68mm rockets are all greyed-out and ...

I'm about 2 days in to this scenario playing as the Argentinians.
Does someone know why the Etendards at Rio Grande have all their weapons loadouts greyed-out?
Sure could use those Exocets!
