Beautiful menu

What's your idea about using real pics?

If you like to use them I can give you historical pictures

[Icarus999 70]

In game pic, still missing serials and some markings...

 

That is a new P-3 model right? It does not look like the ATeam P-3.... or is it just the new skin throwing me off.

Yes, complete new model and therefor no restrictions on adding it to any mod. In fact there will be several new models. US Navy P-3C early and P-3C AIP, the dutch, now german P-3C CUP, argentine P-3B with modified launchers for Exocet and canadian CP-140 Aurora.

All versions have the correct antennas and sonotubes layout.

Awesome! Very crisp panel lines, I like!

(feel free to send me a beta anytime )

 

I have been working on... stuff:

 

First, I tweaked the farm tiles some to make it more desert and less.. olive drab. It didn't really feel like Iraq to me, it was too lush. So here, from high up:

 

Comparison:

 

 

What do you think? Is it better, should I keep this or the original?

 

Then, I have been working on something that bothered me, namely the F-14 skin. I used the DLC skin as I had it, but as Morteza pointed out it is a tad light, esp the tan color is very light. Also, I don't want to force people to buy the DLC to get the mod working, so using my "faux-template-lazy-ass-method" ™ I did some new ones that are 100% DLC free, even if I used the dlc skin as a guide. What do you think of the colors now (still WIP, decals etc needs fixing)

 

[morteza1374 37]

Thank you man

About Iraq you should know that except some places like Farat and Degle rivers there isn't any green place there for farming

The rest of the places are usually date especially near Arvand

And From Iran the side of the Arvand is a great and enormous date farm but near Arvand you can't find any vegetable farm for example

If someone can work on date it would be great

Then about your F-14 skin yes

It becomes more better but it's greens are very strange

Green should be like this

And my friend Decals are not true

We don't have any F-14 with 3-6867 here in Iran

If you want I can do the decales for you

All of them also Persian numbers in nose part

Here is some pics of tomcat also the first test of AIM-23 sejil

Few photos on here as well

The colour changes depending on photo quality and lighting normally so sometimes difficult to use photos for colouring.

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Thx for the link Migbuster, found this awesome documentary about Iranian Tomcat drivers. I can just say wow, Grumman really outdid themselves with the F-14 and I have the utmost respect for the Iranians for managing to keep them flying for so long and with so much success. It is too bad international politics are such BS that the stupid embargoes continue to this day, despite US intelligence agencies confirming that Iran does not, in fact, have a nuclear weapons program and has no wish to go down that road. But international media drones on about Iranian nukes like nothing happened. Sigh. By the same rationale Finland should be embargoed too because, hey, we enrich uranium too. End of rant.

I've seen it too, and can't tell which one is more true, the book or the series...the series was either poorly translated, or a large part of it simply isn't true.

 

Little note: The embargo wasn't exactly caused by "nuclear" causes...And I sort of agree with it.

[Wrench 9,846]

no politics people!! Please!!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

OK wrench, it is such an incendiary topic anyways.

 

Thoduras: agree to disagree.

[CowboyTodd41 134]

Just wanted to drop by and say that I'm really excited for this campaign. I always love learning about eras in aviation I don't know very much about.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

The docu is full of wrong fotage, we have a bit of Topgun, abit of other fotage and a MiG-31 that has to be a 25 ... so .. what do you need more. And the comment of the pilot...."I flew overhead 5 or 6 meters over him and saw a map on his knees....!" Wow .. Fighter ultra Ace pilot!

 

But I hope this mod will proced well, even if TK stops now the PC development! For me its a nice sim to fly, not complicated and very modable ;)

A parenthesis about the Blinders. Except from Tu-22B, Iraqi AF also operated 4 Tu-22K/KD and about 100-200 Kh-22. These were delievered between 1981-84 if I'm correct. I think missile blinders would be a great addition to this project.

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Yep, Tu-22KDs are in. Now if I could only make them do something useful with their missiles. Oh well, have text editor, will edit.
