So...I grew tired of Mi-24s chewing me up while my helicopters went about their own business. Thanks to the ease of modding this game (even w/o documentation) I created an AIM-92 Air-to-Air Stinger (ATAS) and mounted it to my AH-64s. It worked like a charm and soon my Apaches were blowing Hinds out ...

I have tested this extensively while trying a mod of Operation Sling of David - with NO success. I was mainly trying to simulate the seizure of a length of road that could be used as an austere landing strip for C-130s. I have tried various ways to model what you suggest...to ...

<t> As for movement of SOF, foot speed should be set to 6 mph; remember - “move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier”. Also, is there someway to grant ground units the ability to move in water? 10,000-meter surface swims are part of many SOF mission statements and although a ...

<t> Part 2 of 3 for mod requests to sensors. This one will cover LTDs (those carried by ground forces, NOT aircraft mounted systems).<br/>
<br/>
This one is tough; I could go on for days about the various LTDs carried by SOF, FOs, COLTs, JTACs, ANGLICOs, etc. Just a few of the systems include:<br ...

<t> Ok, here it goes. This is part 1 of 3 in my requests for DB mods to sensors for use by SOF elements or other conventional forces in the game. Part 1 will cover LLTV (NVGs).<br/>
<br/>
LLTV, Night Vision Goggles (NVG)<br/>
<br/>
There are three entries in the database, the AVS-9 NVG and two ...

<t> Ok, getting closer to finishing up my SOF units. I have three additional weapons requests, which can be used with all the SOF or infantry elements in the game:<br/>
<br/>
Infantry Small Arms (Section and Platoon sized) - This represents the assorted Pistols, SMGs, PDWs, Carbines, Rifles, IARs ...

<t> Gents, as part of my suggestions for SOF, could you please add the following weapons to the database. I will reference most of these in my next post detailing how the various SOF elements should be armed. A couple of these will also be used in edits I will request for conventional forces later ...

As promised, following up with more info on SOF. This quick note covers the comm/datalink portion.

Every US SOF element (at this point, every major Western SOF element) carries secure HF (PRC-104, 137 or 150) and SATCOM (PSC-5, PRC-152 or 117) radios.

I run it on my mid-2011 Macbook Air using bootcamp and Windows 8.1. Works great!

I grew up with Harpoon…long hours and too many cases of RC. Finally found a replacement, you guys have put together a top-notch simulation.<br/>
<br/>
I am trying to incorporate more SOF into some scenarios. My personal experience has shown me first hand how the proper ...

Can we add the following aircraft to the commercial section?

1. Boeing 777-200LR
2. Boeing 777-300ER

The wikipedia site for the 777 has all the specs for each 777 model. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777)

As an update to my 10/18/2014 2:51:48 PM post on helicopter armament subsystems. I recommended that ONE entry be made for all .50 cal weapons...it would look like this - GAU15/16/21. I unfortunately forgot the good ole GAU-18...since supplanted by the GAU-21 in service. If ...

<t> Here is my latest in the MH-60 series...the worn out USAF HH-60G...prominently featured in the National Geographic series "Inside Combat Rescue".<br/>
<br/>
Please add a separate DB entry (from 1991 onwards) for the HH-60G Pave Hawk. All H-60s in AFSOC were passed to ACC in 1991. Now all HH ...

<t> Gents,<br/>
<br/>
Could you add the following sensor?<br/>
<br/>
AAQ-29 FLIR - It is mounted on the USAF HH-60G and USMC CH-53E. It will also be mounted on the CH-53K when it enters service. The AAQ-29 has the same specs as the Osprey's AAQ-27, just an additional FOV. Here are specs for both ...

Great photo...in the shot of the MH-60A hovering you can clearly see the aux fuel tank behind the crew chief!

<t> Suggestions for MH-60L DAP<br/>
<br/>
#1602 and #1607 – MH-60L Velcro Hawk DAP<br/>
<br/>
The DAP is near and dear to my heart, more suited to the gunship role than the Apache during my deployments. Most don’t realize that the incredibly high-speed and complex IHADSS on the Apache does not ...

<t> Suggested edits for APQ-174.<br/>
<br/>
The 174 and APQ-186 are almost identical. The 174 is carried on helos, the 186 on the CV-22. These edits would apply to both.<br/>
<br/>
1. Add the following modes to the 174/186. I believe only the weather mapping mode is mentioned in other radar ...

<t> More suggestions for the MH-60 series.<br/>
<br/>
NOTE: Velcro Hawk was a nickname given to the early MH-60As due to the way they were “cobbled” together. Newer MH-60s in the Army since then have been referred to as Blackhawks, or more specifically as DAPs, “Limas”, “Kilos” or “Mikes ...
