Is this Mod available to the general public? If so, could you provide a link to it?

Fantastic! You and Brains are doing a great job. I watched your video a while back. I'm a fixed Wing guy by trade but this is a little bird that I am looking forward too! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to fly this one!!!

Good morning, There are two publication that I purchased a long time ago that have a good synopsis for initial development for an F-105 module. The first is called F-105 Thunderchief in Detail and Scale. It was published by Kalmbach Publishing Company (Last publication date was 1993) I think the bok had numerous performance charts in it. At lease enough information was there to do a pretty good job of extrapolation for the performance of the 'Thud. The second book is from the Wartech Series (Vol 18) titled Republic F-105 Thunderchief. This book has some great descriptors of the inside of the aircraft's cockpit. From early to late 2-seat versions of the jet. There is also some Radar mode information provided and the paint scheme for the 1 season only Thunderbird 'Chief (the 105 was pulled from the T-Bird roster after a horrific initial season with the T-Birds (the team switched back to the F-100 before moving on to the F-4). Hope this helps. As a very Young Chewchief, I had the privilege of watching a F-105 take off from Selfridge ANG base in Michigan as it stopped by for a transient visit. My boss (who was a SMSgt) crewed the aircraft as it came through. He had worked 105 during the Vietnam war. He allowed me to tag along. I remember the sound and that long T/O roll to this day. Right now, so many years later, I have to settle for the VSN mod (which duplicates the long T/O roll). I'll take it until a 3rd party module comes along (and a welcome addition it will be)!

Had an acquaintance that flew the F-15E (Mudhen as we used to call it). His callsign was "Duck"....His last name was Howard! I vote for "Duck"!

I too am having the problem of servers that used to be on my multiplayer list have disappeared. Everything ws working three weeks ago before I took a break (due to a family emergency). When I tried to log back on, there are a number of multiplayer servers that just disappeared. I can hear my guys talking about the mission/server name and the like. They want me to join but I've told them the server name that they are on is gone. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the fantastic Mod! You and the team deserves a "Bravo Zulu"!

Thanks Tracer, I'll give it a go. Skelator

A "Bravo Zulu" to all our NAVAIR MX crews for getting this baby ready to go! We'll tell the first class of Nuggets to get ready for CQ! Waiting for you to give us the 'Thumbs Up' and we'll get out to the deck for our FOD walkdown! Looks great!

Thank you all for such a fantastic Mod! I had a blast last night flying her in VR. This bird brings a much needed component to the CSAR/Downed Airman scenario. Again...Thank you! Skelator

Good morning all, I see that you are able to view the A-6 from an external view. Is there a way that I can launch the intruder (whilst I am in the 'pit) from the ground without crashing to desktop? I think 'Cap' from Growling Sidewinders was only able to launch while airborne. I know that the Intruder is still a very early WIP but she's a cool mod! Skelator

Just a suggestion for the tanking issue. Not sure it will work. I'll give it a go though!

Little known fact. The actor who played T.C. Roger Mosley was actually a rated real World Helo Pilot!

I believe this will be a stand alone mod and will not be dependent on FC3. From what I understand you might not be able to contact the tanker due to the SDK limitations. I was wondering if you'd be able to do dry contacts if a basket is exposed. Maybe a dissimilar flight with a F/A-18 (for the "C" variant) or F-16 (with the "A") could work. The other aircraft could call the Tanker for the flight and then you could do a dry contact. Just curious and just a thought. Either way, I think this will be great to have the 5th in DCS!

Will we be able to A2A refuel with this mod? Also, will the RCS be undetectable, or have a reduced RCS in the game to A2A and surface radars? I believe that there might be limits due to the locked SDK which might restrict us from taking fuel from the tanker.

Fantastic Project! Kudos to you and the rest of the F-35 Community Mod team! This will be my primary platform once all three variants are released. I noticed a B-2A Spirit in the trailer. Who knows what the future will hold! Welcome to the 5th! Skelator
