+daddyairplanes Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 wondering what WIP's out there might help one complete a Berlin Airlift mod. this is being considered for Gen2 despite the current problem with props. there is C-47 stock in game now and some other birds lying around (F-80C, converted or waiting on the Gen2) and Veltro's Short Sunderland would help too. what else is out there in WIP land that would work circa 1948. (someone pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease say C-54:grin: ) Quote
FastCargo Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Except I'm pretty sure no shooting actually occured...so I'm not sure how interesting a mod it would be. FC Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 well of course in our lil world one of the Soviet Yaks would've shot down rather than collided with an airlift bird. would be a good mix of WW2 (F-47D, B-29, Tempest II) and early jet age(F-80, Meteor, Vampire) for combat. Red air is still a little sketchy though as to what they had in play. pretty sure Yak-9 variants though Yak-23 and Mig-15 prototypes might've been rushed to theater in event of a shooting match. besides if you're gonna base offa was there actual shooting, SF2E becomes very boooring:grin: Quote
FastCargo Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 If you turn it into a shooting war, then its no longer the Berlin Airlift, its SF2E 1948. FC Quote
Silverbolt Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) IMO it would be fun, the C-160D is a proof of this , however i think it would be necessary a better terrain detailment to do it and the most important part of the simulation would be the full tamarc 24 hours in the game and the heavy traffic, which i think it would not be easy to mod due to the current AI behavior.

+daddyairplanes Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 @ FC exactly, goes from operation vittles to operation hot chow! though thinking more a 48 campaign than a whole new install @ silverbolt main thing i could think of for terrain is take ground objects for a WW2 terrain, and throw in alot of rubble piles and busted buildings(think the pics of the kids on the hill watchin the C-54's come in) Quote

Wrench Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Wannsee lake would be a nice feature to see Short Sunderland's bringing in salt, perhaps??? wrench kevin steing Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 Short Sunderland's bringing in salt, perhaps??? wrench kevin steing might have been. i believe they were used for heavy loads that might've tied up runways at tegel and tempehof. some converted bombers were used to haul fuel in also. gotta find a book i had a few years back, alternate history short stories on the Cold War. first one was about "the great berlin furball"!
