In the photo above they aren't wearing any...not a night op. But we have pics of plenty of strobes on heads. You guys should know better than to question the research we put into our addons :-)

Our private developers forum is a goldmine of info....one day I have to back it all up into a file because there is some really valuable stuff there in terms of research and learning.

Blue is the color used to denote practice or "non live" ammunition. Planes carrying blue bombs and blue missiles are carrying "dumb" ordnance used for training purposes. They are often referred to as training bombs.

The blue here would probably denote that they are not engaged in a live fire exercise and are carrying blanks or in fact no ammunition at all. This would be more of a visual indicator for those around them (such as the deck crew).

The Navy in particular, due to their confined work spaces with dangerous macinery (jet exhausts and intakes) are very specific about warnings and safety indicators particulalry on ships. Thats why you will see safety and warning markers all over a Navy jet but not nearly as many on a Air Force jet.

Noon..top marks for observation....very subtle in the image but you picked it up.

Cheers Tigershark, it makes sense that they would indicate "practice rounds" in that way for rifles too.

With the Steyr AUG, you just screw in a mighty great yellow plug into the end of the barrel (there to allow 'blowback' bolt to still function) so you can't miss the fact that its firing blanks.

I should have clicked, as being ex-AirForce this tired brain should have related the practically global standard "practice" blue colouring.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. On with the show!

a question to BAS about their CH-46E Sea Knight this info stays on your page:

Emergency-flotation kits
In case of emergency over water, 4 inflatable rubber sponsons are located on strategic positions along the lower fuselage. These are connected to an emergency compressed air supply which inflates the sponsons automatically. This allows for greater survival rates when ditching over water.

So my question is you guys plan to use the script of Martin to make this plane floot on water

Wow. I have no interest whatsoever in the SEALs, but I'm all excited about this

If you make British SBS instead, I'll send Mrs Kooky around and a few crates of ale ;D

registered_fugitiv · « **Reply #250 on:** 21 May 2003, 07:01:30 »

no it should be SBS as well I love U.S Special Operation troops they all look kick ass no matter what service there from
