I'm in.

Mictheslik at leats hes trying to have fun on the Virtual scene. I would take part but I dislike military jets I hva eone payware tornado and I like it ill see if I can do it. Whos flying this 'bear' aircrfat are you not a bit outdated though calling a russian plane our enemy. Its not a soviet country anymore even if ive heard its going that way.

In the spirit of the SimV community and the multiplayer server that is currently being way under-utilized, you have my interest.  I am not much on flying the military aircraft anymore, but if I can use my Panavia Tornado, I would be favorably inclined to join you.

Will we be using TS, or is just the multi-player chat window sufficient?

Another thing to consider is air-to-air refueling.  Is there a way we want to simulate this, or no?  I mean, depending on how long we are up, those jets can get pretty thirsty after awhile.  (I accidently ran out of fuel in my Tornado the last time I was flying with it.  :-/ )

Anyway, you can tentatively put me down for this little mission.  Let's see what we can do, ne?  ;)

are you not a bit outdated though calling a russian plane our enemy. Its not a soviet country anymore even if ive heard its going that way.

Does it matter? It's just supposed to be a bit of fun...

[Anark]

Count me in!

By the way, that F3 link is just a texture, the model is here.

My comment was to bump the thread back up and get more interest.....I'm helping a bit with this, in fact I discovered that the bear was coming in the first place (read the mission ), I also got the top secret photos of the Mig29s

Ah OK. Oh yeha teh perosn with the PANAVIA TORNADO ive got that can you tell me how to do the ai rot air refuel.

Tweek fair point I would just have prefared a more imminant enemy suchas north Korea wait do they have an air force.

Why does it matter exactly? This is a simulated game therefore reality isn't important

When you get into the arena of "more plausible enemy" or "more imminent enemy"  based on contemporary world geoPOLITICS (ahem)...... you start to raise the possibility here of getting some people upset and ending up starting a political discussion and or a flame war.

I don't know if there is an add-on for actual air-to-air refueling, but I was thinking we could emulate it.  That is, we could have someone on station in a tanker flaying a set pattern, have the jets fly up within a certain distance and hold formation with the tanker until the tanker driver gives the OK, then manually re-fill the fuel tanks and be off.

If we are simulating a scramble in response to an airspace incursion, you better believe we would be using a lot of afterburner and a lot of fuel.  That being the case, those fighters are not going to stay up in the air for very long without some support.  Heck, I would be willing to fly a fuel tanker if we have an add-on somewhere I could download.  Maybe I will look for one today.  ;)

Oh, and about using Panavia Tornados, that would be very, very in form if we are supposed to be British forces doing the intercepting.

At least the "Soviet" concept which was used to start this idea at this point plays more into the line of "history".  Maybe it is best to keep this kind of multiplayer "mission" to fantasy or historical.  Let's not start World War III here on SimV.  ;)

I thought the fact that anyone actually wanted to do surveillance on England nowadays was fantasy.  ;D

[Anark]

We're not scrambling are we?
I thought we were already patrolling.

[Xyn_Air]

We're not scrambling are we?

Well, it sure sounds like a scramble.  We are definitely not already on patrol.  Look at the instructions:

[quote]You are to meet at Leuchars EGQL (Blue Circle) at 18:10 GTM, EST 13:10 on the SimV server and to form up into your sections at opposite ends of runway 9/27.

One squadron at 27

Two squadron at 9

One squadron will take off first in pairs, followed by Two squadron
