I've got every iteration of TK's work except the World War I thingy. I've got NATO Fighters 2 installed into Wings Over Europe, I've got Wings Over Vietnam and Wings Over Israel as stock installs, but this one keeps calling me back.

After finally getting the Hornet squared away with the C6 Mega Pak and getting every last little .ini file fixed, it's now my favorite mod EVER.

It's the single best mod this series has ever seen and Johan's Suez Crisis '56 comes in second only because the aircraft in it turn like crap. Not Johan's fault, of course, but when I want old-school flying, that's my pick.

Vince, you kick ass. This is the most awesome mod ever devised for this series.

What is C6 Mega Pak? I need a Hornet with the updated HUD/avionics. can't drop bombs without CCIP.

I got Burning Sands '83 and added an A-6E sqd. and got rid of the F-19(sorry). I plan to change it to a 2010 campaign and add the F-22 for the US, and Mig-29 and Su-27 for the Whatzits.

The C6 Mega Pak is on Check-Six.fr and it is universal package with all the aircraft that these guys usually fly online against each other. Sort of a standard.

What's nice is that it comes with a Blue Angels Hornet that has the Avionics70.dll cockpit complete with CCIP.

Copy all the files for the Blue Angel Hornet into your regular Hornet's folder, edit the appropriate .ini files and enjoy bombing the living crap out of people with it.

My three favorite mods are (in no particular order):

Burning Sands
Danger: Bering Straights (great atmosphere. you can almost feel the cold)
Operation Tainted Cigar

My favourite ones:

- Harrier campaign + more targets mod
- OTC
- Middle Eastern Camapaigns
- DBS (loooots of targets!)

Burning Sands 1983 is a bit too easy for my taste. If you choose a turkey as your aircraft of choice, the MiGs don't stand any chance at all.

I think there may be one more. Check and see if your update includes the MiG-25PD and the campaign .ini file has been updated to include them in the campaign's order of battle.

It apparently has the Mig-25PD in the OOB but the aircraft is downloaded separately..
