  1. i´m working since quite some time on the F-4F cockpits , my biggest problem is that i dont get any flight manual for the Peace Rhine and ICE versions , now i got some pictures from a F-4F Peace Rhine cockpit and was able to almost finish it i still have to do some animations and small items that are missing so i have now the early F-4F cockpit ( from 1973 onward ) and the F-4F Peace Rhine cockpit ( from 1985 onward ) next will be the ICE cockpit the ICE cockpit has a more advanced IFF control panel and a digital fuel quantity indicator and the 4 fuselage weaponstations for the AIM-120 , so still a lot of work F-4F cockpit 1973 the F-4F Peace Rhine is a big upgrade compare to the early F-4F cockpit , it has the DSCG radar with CCIP , the Shoot Lights and a more modern UHF control panel and the Weapons Panel that is used on the F-4E , one thing i only found on the Peace Rhine and the ICE version is the NBC Protection Blower no other F-4 version has that , so the german pilots hat some protection / filter system in case of a nuclear contamination F-4F Peace Rhine cockpit

  2. OK, the EF2000 B is done, and the F/A-18E, F/A-18F, and F/A-18G are coming soon. It's a team effort, and it has been in the making for a considerable amount of time. This is the F/A-18E

  5. with the Peace Rhine upgrade the F-4F got a special feature regarding the use of the AIM-9 Sidewinder , the pilot could chose between the SEAM (Sidewinder Extended Acquisition Mode) or SLAVE mode the SEAM (Sidewinder Extended Acquisition Mode) is a target acquisition mode for the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile that allows the seeker head to scan a larger area (often a grid pattern) instead of targeting a single point. This enables the missile to locate and acquire targets with a heat source (aircraft), even if they are not directly in the nose. This increases the probability of a hit by allowing radar or helmet sights to pre-initialize the missile or for it to search for targets independently the "Sidewinder Slave Mode" usually refers to the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile, where a radar or helmet-mounted display acquires (locks) the target, and the missile is then guided to that radar track to "slave" the seeker—a form of radar-assisted target acquisition before the missile's infrared seeker takes over or the missile fires to track the target, often in conjunction with the helmet-mounted display (HMD). There is also an interpretation as a vehicle function (Sidewinder Mode) with all-wheel steering for diagonal driving, but the context strongly suggests the missile. to get the SEAM and Slave lights working and "simulate" the functions i use the SEAM light duringradar search operation , you will get the typicall sidewinder growl sound and the Shoot light will show you if you are in range to fire the missile you will not get the yellow lock on in the HUD , for the SLAVE light i use the Radar Boresight this way you get the Lock on in the HUD the sidewinder growl sound and in the radar scope the VC display for now the SEAM and SLAVE mode will only work with the AIM-9L , i dont think that the AIM-9B would support this function SEAM mode SLAVE mode if anybody has abetter idea how to simmulate this functions please let me know

  6. Some target areas on Tierra del Fuego. Only placeholders with one warehouse and a Flak each, to test whether Strike, SEAD, RECON, INTERCEPT missions will work. You see the blue stripe in the middle. It is the place of a lake (name forgotten, sorry i'm not familiar with this part of our world). Here i must do still a lot of tiling and height setting by hand. Some screenshots of Rio Grande Air Base.

  7. Take off for a strike mission at the coast of North Vietnam. Closing to the target. Was detected by a vietnamese junk boat, but they have no radio, so no problem at all. Target hit, avading Flak fire and set course to the carrier. Heading home. Touchdown, home again. Now a cold bottle of beer!

  9. The german Luftwaffe was seeking a smaller alternative to the bigger and heavier Tornadoes and Phantoms, especially for CAS-Missions; but it also should have some A2A-Capabilities. The Alpha Jet was taken into consideration, but deemed not suitable for the task imposed. The Mirage F1 was also taken into consideration initially, but rapidly dropped because of the Luftwaffe's "Single-Engine-Doctrine" after the Starfighter-Desaster. In 1976, after having signed an accord between the british, the french and the german government, german pilots had the opportunity to evaluate the aircraft. Two airplanes, a single- and a double-seater, were especially commissioned at 17 Squadron, RAF Brüggen. The results were satisfying and the german government signed an order of 36 single- and 8 double-seater planes, taking the GR.1 as a base. First deliveries started in 1978, being the JBG31 the last one to get it's aircraft in 1979.

  13. Well, modders are sharing their progress on a daily basis... (I am bad because I do not do that so often) So I have made some progress, and I had some 'setback.' Funny thing is that these zippers are more or less ready for nearly two years...so now looking at them is making me think what to improve... I needed to update this and that...then something came up...etc. So I was planning to upload already KLu zippers, like 2 weeks ago. But again changes...Then, since I updated one thing, I needed to update old stuff. And so on... I have made some changes in ini files. Since I like to see aircraft appear on the flightline with wingtip tanks. I have made some changes in data ini and made fake "fuel tanks" to disable them if needed in the loadout menu. Also, in fighter-bomber variants gun will be loaded optionally. As in the case of carrying nuke, the gun was to be removed... and some other small changes. You will see. A Few new pilots. because one is not enough. There will be some options to choose. And planning to make a few more... for now HGU-2A with MBU-5 mask also optional with "ram" visor cover - and you can choose transparent or black visor. And P-4B helmet with MBU-3 mask...that i already showed before. Still going through pictures to create some options for countries. So if you have suggestions.... and yes i started to do GQ7/IQ7 seat for models that require it. will require revoking defogging tubes in the pit too So instead of uploading AMI starfighters this week (plan from early December 2025), I have to go back and update some old stuff. Luftforsvaret and KLu are ready to upload, and when I find time will deal with files. o! I reworked wheel bays and updated the skin in that area.. some cockpit details.... and 're-painted' exhaust

    This is part 1 of a 2 part pack, you WILL need both parts for it to work correctly. This is my version of a South East Asia terrain, it has been many years in the making but is still not complete or finished. But considering that my modding years are coming to an end I thought I'd release it anyway. The area north of the DMZ is a real mess target wise as it's an area I've never been interested in, I personally fly CAS/Armed-Recon in the Central Highlands area. This is a 250 meter map with 600+ tiles and TOD's so you need a fairly powerful machine to run it. There's over 450 new ground objects never been released before, all made by myself so any errors there are entirely down to me. Over the years I've got help and advice off dozens of different modders. They have been the inspiration for me to continue this far, so while they are too many to mention we should a remember that without the modding community this sim/game would of died many years ago. This package contains work and ideas from many of the great terrain experts. A great big THANK YOU to everyone I've worked with in the past. If you are new to the SF simming world, please don't bother whining and screaming about all the little oddities you may find that you don't like, just download the tools needed from here at CombatAce and fix them. Believe me when I say "you've never had it so good" Please read the readme or you WILL mess up your install and it will all be your own fault. ................................................................

  17. What do you think about this: Base Aérea Militar Río Gallegos I dont know why the Argentinians need a 4.000 meters runway. Have they an own Shuttle to land it there or was it an emergency runway for the american Shuttle program, like Templin in East Germany was it for the soviet Buran?

  19. That took a lot longer than I thought it would ... YAP RW's A-1E got the pylons all straightened out, adjusted weapon positions, attached lights to wings, etc. There are/were a LOT of mistakes in the data ini, especially when mesh names are needed. (also noticed they cheated, and re-used the A-26 cockpit for this one! Which, when you think about it, was pretty damn clever!)

I also re-introduced a new theme for the WOFF guys. I hope these help and if there's issues let me know about them here. Thanks

    Feuerland alias Tierra del Fuego terrain 1.0 ***************************************************************************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I or SF2V. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: This terrain covers the south of South America and is focused on Tierra del Fuego. The timeframe of the terrain is from 1960 to 2030 It is a two nations map: Argentina and Chile. It is made as a NavalMap so that you can fly carrier missions against Chile. You can fly following missions: SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,ARMED_RECON The terrain works best in a separate South America installation, otherwise you will find a lot of soviet planes and FLAK. How to do a separate installation please look in the SF2 Knowledgebase in CombatAce forum. It is a fast made terrain with some issues: I have not checked the coastline, so you will surely find "water climbing the hill". The very most target areas are only populated with 1 warehose and 1 Flak. The complete area north of Tierra del Fuego i have not touched. The tileset i took from IslandNA terrain, which is outdated by todays standards. (256x256 pixel tileset instead modern 1024x1024) ********************************************************************************************* Use the terrain for own improvements. Feel free to modify this terrain. If you want to release your own improvments include that ReadMe file in your package and give me proper credit. For targetarea modifications you find in Mues Toolbox 0.2.1 some powerfull tools. https://combatace.com/files/file/15942-mues-toolbox/ For tile change or heightfield modifications use the old TerrainEditor by TK. I know it is a little bit tricky. Make sure to save the original file Feuerland_data.ini, becaus the TE overwrite it with a useless old version, which not really work in SF2 world. The https://combatace.com/files/file/6492-terrain-editor-2-versions/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. INSTALLATION: To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe or SF2 Vietnam. Unzip the folders Objects and Terrains into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX Thats it. If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more. If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file Feuerland.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines: //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat change the entry into: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat If you have SF2Vietnam, but no SF2 Europe then open Feuerland.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines //CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat change the entry ino: CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat save the file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III. Credits. Tileset is basing on IslandNA tileset. I made some new tiles. airfield components are taken from AirfieldDevKit_v1.1 made by Pureblue. Super-Sherman-M51 taken from SF2 tank package, original made by rebel ryder I hope i have not forgotten someone. . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IV. This Terrain is Freeware. Commercial use is not allowed. And i say it again for the YAP, YankeeAirPirates file thiefs, the usage of this terrain and/or parts of the terrain for commercial use is not allowed!!!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ V. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM. Hope you enjoy it. Michael (Gepard) Made in Germany 31. Dezember 2025
