67-329 over Nam 1972

Hmmmm, cant say I've noticed this before, but today because my loading times are pretty long on my heavily modded Vietnam install, I decided decided to throw a copy of the stock SEA terrain in the mod folder as I'm only wanting to checkout the work I'm doing on an F-4B model. Obviously the loading times were way quicker so I'm flying around checking thing out , stopping and starting a few missions when it suddenly dawned on me that the clouds were lower than the mountain tops..............I know there's no trees showing up but if you only fly hi level missions it might be interesting to slam into a hillside like in the old days..

Algerian Su-7BMK

Flying to Amesbury, near RAF Boscombe Down, to check possibility of weekend activities. Stonehenge, checked. Dinner, checked. The Mc's is better than the average british meal. I hate cooked boar in a delicate peppermint sauce. Okay, the base is there, where it should be. Okay, lets go home.

Hello ! Here several pictures of my 1:72 WWII fighters I began to build two years ago... an old project ! Next ones : Me 163, Bf 109s, P-47s, etc... P.

Spanish F1EE(M) Action Low & Fast run in to the target. Wingman got too high and drew some unwanted attention And we're gone...

Mirage F1EE(M) is uploaded and waits for approval. A special thanks to our cockpit team for their awesome work ! The usual preview

She starts looking good .Long way to the end ofc .... Carriers are really annoying with files and testing ...

9 June 1982 - A pair of Syrian MiG-23MF armed with AA-2 and AA-7 missiles prepare for take off for air patrol over Syrian-Israeli border.

Although I am not entirely at liberty to release this...as it is based on a joint venture project also, I would prefer first, to finish the cockpit for it (and other zippers)... and some mingling with TMF... the new cockpit would be a challenge - and I have already a lot of challenges at the moment...so this is a very slow-cook project. and my very old project...somewhere I mentioned that I work on something with a name containing F and 8...(not F-8) Stary made a cockpit so in that matter it is "easy peasy" I also started Drakken a long time ago...but other more interesting projects came by then. Although I get past the wing section already.. But those are not 2-week projects. So if someone is in a hurry for a new model... I do not know how others work, but for me, every model is becoming very personal, I really need to read whatever books are available on aircraft ( which means sometimes I need to ask a lot of favors from family and friends to go "dig in old books" purchase and ship it to my place. Not to mention getting manuals and reading them back-to-back to understand how it all works when building a cockpit model. Then It is a pure pleasure to work on a model. Yes, you can buy a ready model (or download it free) and bing-bong-ta-da-dum export it for game standards. But this is not the same. And I always hope that the end user (player) will see the difference. live long and prosper.

Scenery of an argentinian airfield.

Rare photo of German F-104Gs during interception training circa 1979. On the left of the pic you can see tracer rounds fired by a third F-104G whose pilot left master arm ON by mistake. Ηe fired only a short burst before he realize his mistake and turned master arm OFF immidiately. Luckily all rounds gone ballistic and there was no friendly fire hit reported.

Camouflage be like:

Just found these on an old backup drive.....they may of been posted when I was working on the model.....not sure though..

Just an other power station.

I do have a plan for that... =========================================== Picture and text are irrelevant

After tweaking the display limitation, I am able to create new radar scope that look more ilke F-106:s radar scope.

Sorry for the bugged post

Weddel-Williams P-34A Cardinal - 48th Pursuit Squadron, 15th Pursuit Group, United States Army Air Force, December 1941 When the USAAC announced a competition for a new single-seat fighter in 1935 the three main contenders appeared to be the Curtis P-36, the Seversky P-35 and the Vought V-141. Whilst all three featured all-metal construction, retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit there was concern that none of these radial engined fighter aircraft would meet the projected performance of the sleek inline monoplane fighters then under development in Europe. There had already been some USAAC interest in the successful Weddel-Williams series of private racing aircraft earlier in the 1930's leading to the XP-34 but this did not proceed further than the drawing board. However, in early 1936 the USAAC asked Wedell-Williams to design a new fighter aircraft utilising the Allison V-1710 V-12 liquid-cooled engine. Chief Designer Jimmy Wedell quickly schemed a new streamlined low-wing monoplane design around the V-1710-19 inline engine and, favouring manoeuvrability over speed, his radical new design had a smaller wing area than the contemporary Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire with an unusually short fuselage. Whilst the design was known as the Wedell-Williams Model 46 for obscure budgetary reasons the USAAC continued to use the XP-34 designation. The Model 46 prototype first flew on August 15th 1937 and development and testing moved swiftly. When tested against P-35 and P-36 pre-production aircraft (in the USAAC trials held in March 1938) service pilots concluded that the Model 46 had several advantages over both - including being more manoeuvrable in level flight thus enabling it to quickly get behind its opponents by making tight horizontal turns. These trials led to an order for 240 P-34A's which first entered service with the 20th Pursuit Group at Barksdale Field in Louisiana in April 1940. In February 1941 forty-two P-34A's were delivered to Hawaii after being loaded on to the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and flown off the carrier's deck by USAAC pilots when the Enterprise approached the coast of Hawaii. During the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 8th, 1941 only a handful of the 39 remaining P-34A's at Pearl Harbor were able to take off during the attack. One of the few pilots who managed to engage enemy aircraft was 2nd Lt. Philip M. Rasmussen of the 46th Pursuit Squadron. He was woken up when the attack began and, whilst still wearing his pajamas, Rasmussen raced towards the flight line where most of the P-34A's were either damaged or destroyed. Rasmussen jumped in to aircraft number '86' (belonging to the 48th Pursuit Squadron aircraft) and took off with another three pilots heading for Kaneohe Bay where they engaged eleven Japanese fighters in battle. After shooting down one Japanese aircraft, Rasmussen was attacked by two Japanese Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero fighters. Bullets and cannon shells shattered the canopy, destroyed the radio and severed his aircrafts hydraulic lines and rudder cable forcing Rasmussen to seek refuge in nearby cloud cover before flying back toward Wheeler Field. Landing without brakes, rudder or tailwheel his P-34A was riddled more than 500 bullet holes. * Sadly, Jimmy Weddel died in a flying incident in 1934.

Some more test and some tricks

I think as a Chinese, I am more familiar with the censorship system than you are, and I also know more about the harm of censorship (this harm is so serious that I have to use VPN to access the international Internet). I don't think your right to criticize the author should be hindered (except for personal attacks). In fact, as an ordinary user, I can't stop any of your comments. It's just my personal opinion that we should be more tolerant of beginners. I think giving effective suggestions is more helpful for beginners to improve their level than simple criticism. If my comments offend you, please forgive me. Please also forgive my poor English. Again, I am just expressing my personal opinion, and I think this is also my freedom of speech.
