Great shots. What L1011 model is that and how did you get it to link up with the VC-10?

It's the Captain Sim one that I upgraded to have full PBR textures. Air to air refuelling is achieved with PayloadManagerX, you can't actually "connect" like in DCS or so, but if you disable the latch on setting and set the refuel radius to some low number, it'll make it so you actually have to hold position within a realistic distance, which is quite tricky to do with three 70s vintage turbofans as it turns out! Lastly, the refuel probe is a custom model I also added through PayloadManagerX.

Edit: I should add, to spawn the actual tanker model, I'm using Tacpack to spawn the VC-10 in, then selecting that AI aircraft as a tanker through PayloadManagerX, if you just do it through PayloadManagerX it won't fly a realistic racetrack pattern. It sounds complicated but its pretty straightforward and quick to get set up in the moment.

The RealAir Spitfire has always been one of my favourites and I've finally got around to converting it to PBR and P3Dv4.4+; this is in v5.3. Spitfire XIV RB159, the mount of Sqdn. Leader Richard Newbery, CO of No. 610 (County of Chester) Squadron, from January to December of 1944.

Apart from PBR, the model has a WBS pilot and can be configured with the C , E or PR wing via the title line in the Aircraft.config file. Obviously not for distribution sadly.

I Just think it's such a beautiful model of a beautiful aeroplane, and flies like a dream. And PBR and P3D Shows it off so well.

VF-24 achieved six MiG kills over North Vietnam, with four occurring on July 21, 1967, and two on May 19, 1967. The kills were made with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and 20mm guns, and the squadron became one of the Navy's first "Ace" squadrons with these victories.

May 19, 1967: Lieutenant Commander Bobby C. Lee and Lieutenant Phillip R. Wood each shot down a MiG-17 using AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.
July 21, 1967: Commander Marion H. Issacks, Lieutenant Commander Robert L. Kirkwood, and Lieutenant Phillip R. Wood each shot down a MiG-17 using a combination of Sidewinder missiles and 20mm guns.

VF-24 was embarked on USS Bon Homme RIchard off the coast of Viet Nam at the time. They flew F-8C's at the time.
(no hard points on wings for carrying bombs - F-8E and > had wing hard points.)

I was assigned to VF-24 ordnance shop and assisted with all the ordnance uploads for above mentioned Mig kills.

This livery was not included with latest release. Some one made the VF-24 livery for me.
