Somebody explain to my why all of our USAF fighters, many of which we dont sell to anyone but Canada, Japan, and the U.K., come in every livery but our own!?!
 >:( >:(

Huh?

All right look, go through the downloads section.  Most of the aircraft that we have come with one, maybe two skins. then go look around for that sme plne for another country, like china.  Even though that plane has brobably never even been near chinese airspace thaere are  a jillion different skins for it in chinese.

That isn't what I am saying.  I just get ticked in the case when an aircraft comes from the U.S. military and you can't even find one for the U.S. while there are skins for every other nation on earth, many of which are hostile toward us and would never get their hands on those aircraft.

When the canuks have something like a F-15 or an '18 it makes sense.  Or when the brits have one of out ATF's.  But when some of these far flung asian nations start having US fighters, it's getting a little out of hand. :-/

Remember, It's just a simulator

Yes I know it's just a game but...........it is angering to me to see a plane that a country has worked very hard on, like a T-38, and you can find it in every livery except for the county it comes from.

Two points:

• http://www.f-16.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=listarticles&secid=6 Provides a list of F-16 Operators. I would expect that the inclusion of such "Far Flung Asian Nations" as Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea might come as a surprise.
• Flightsim Speak is precluded from this forum....it's actually in the description.

Indonesia has a quite varied air force... both F-16's and Su-30's

really?
now that's one hell of an airforce! ;) ;D

@cvrt.blah.blah

(attention,much irony used!)

Lighten up a little.
For a start the T-38 you use as an example is an old design.

The first of three prototypes (designated YT-38 ) flew on March 10 1959. The type was quickly adopted and the first production examples were delivered in 1961, officially entering service on March 17 that year. When production ended in 1972, 1,187 T-38s had been built.

I imagine the original FS model was in USAF markings. The ones you're complaining about are repaints. Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see. Nobody is forcing you to use them if it offends you so much.

As for far-flung hostile Asian nations having them.

Besides the USAF, other T-38 operators include the German Luftwaffe, the Portugese Air Force, the Singapore Air Force, the Taiwanese Air Force, and the Turkish Air Force. It is also flown by NASA and Boeing, who use the type as a chase plane. There are also a very small number of them in private civilian hands.

If you are so desperate for US paints why don't you make them yourself then you will be happy and whoever feels similar will be also.

the FSD T-38 comes with 3 paint schemes:
Hill AFB ?(I think)
Hollomon AFB
Nasa

also, the RNFAA and RAF don't fly any American types save the Seaking and l-1011/Tristar (can never remember which is which )

I cannot think of any file where this applies. There are by far more 'country of origin' textures for every single aircraft I can think of...
