Some fun experiments with Stary's generic WW2 cockpits and the move instruments trick. As he says, "Rivet counters and/or WW2 experts please note that these cockpits do NOT represent any specific real-life models/variants, so if you seek for ultimate realism in modelling this pack is NOT for you." But, sometimes, they give a more similar view from a cockpit, as far as cockpit framing goes, than using a stock cockpit, which was their purpose. By using the move trick, you can remove guns, etc., to get more use from them. Here, they're applied to a P-51b and a Malcom hooded P=51. Like me, they're far from perfect, but they give a more similar view, framing wise, than using a stock P-51d cockpit. I know most won't like them, but I do. Thanks, Stary.

USNF Lives Again! Good project!! required screenshot

I made one for myself. Not really much work. One red airfield, one blue airfield, and carrier zones. Thats it. Here an other screenshot. MiG-21 takes off from Burevestnik Aerodrom. MiG-21 strikes Nakashibetsu Airfield.

F-47N Generic Skin WIP

Around we go. EGADS!!! Wet Work. Departed Soul.

An "exotic" aircraft

iT WOULD It would be an amazing place for MiG-21 and 23 combat against Japanese planes!

What if. German Navy Jaguar M.

Will upload soon as ive sorted screens and checked files complete.

next, a sample of the load out and pilot screens, thinking of making the backgrounds less generic and more tailored for each aircraft, the screens below that are an ace combat inspired menu screen and a hanger screen for an F-14 though again, im thinking of using coloured in game stills so the skin is shown

For me it is rather a terrain for Minsk vs Tarawa, AV-8 Harriers vs Yak-38. But MiG-21 vs japanese F-4EJ would be possible too. Its only the problem, that strike missions or SEAD is always against the ships, never against the land bases. Screenshot: Approach to Kurils.

We have a Kurils map? With the Russian islands? Mandatory screenshot...

I think you should. Very nice. You've caught the modding bug. There is no known cure.

I love how much you get into your subject, Geezer. You love your details, that's why your work is so good.

I stopped being lazy and got out some of my references. I found some digital RGB numbers for French camo colors, so I can alter the camo when I resume work on the R11. I also found out that horizon-blue was frequently used as a primer on many metal fittings. BUT, not all manufacturers used horizon-blue as a primer, so the variation in museum restorations would seem to be historically accurate! I still don't know if Caudron used horizon-blue, or some other color.

If you want the best weapons, performance and avionics go for the A-4N from the A-4N Ahit Pack 2.0. It is fully integrated into the stock Yom Kippur War campaign provided you install the A-4E/H/F Ahit upgrade/ Enhancement for SF2 1.0 first. Even if you stick with the A-4H or A-4E the Enhancement pack will give you a far more historically accurate aircraft. Again they are fully integrated into the stock Yom Kippur War campaign. Make sure you install the A-4E/H/F Ahit upgrade/ Enhancement first, then the A-4N Ahit pack and override all files as you go.

Well done, Geezer, VonS and Quack74!!! The work you have displayed for us here looks amazing! The Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa looks expecially sweet to me since they are two of my absolute favorite WWI aircrafts. :) Thanks for doing this, guys! It's really appreciated! :D

I'm sorry, I didn't have time to edit my message. You see, I like stylization under "developers standards", this is why I made screen black and white. But an idea with "old movie" stylization is not bad too. Then, if to see from both hands, they are the same because developers style on loading screens is "old movie". You are right, my friend. Thank you that you noticed it.

Thanks.

and same glass in final version ;-)

good job! IIRC, that's how I got started in modding! After several thousand hangar screens..... my only suggestion is to make the aircraft smaller, so it won't cover up the "mission" text. On this style hangar screen, I usually use somewhere around 40% opacity for the drop shadow (see below for example, albeit for SF2)

I agree with Heck, please make more hangar screens and upload them! (I like the shadow on the DFW better than the shadow on the Albatros.) Congratulations on getting your technical issues worked out, I admire your persistence.

What do you think of these new hangar screens? They are not bad, aren't they? (Made by me myself, with instruction in this WOE-styled hangars archive) Should I make a screen for Salmson 2 and upload all them here, on combatace?

...kfir

Also been tinkering with the Caudron R11, and have a question for experts on French WW1 camo. Note the metal fittings in the shot of the M-S Type AI - is the blue-gray paint typical?

Been taking some mood shots for the intro screens.

53rd FBS, 36th FBW F-84E & F-84G Thunderjets, Korea 1952.

A nice scrap. Love the ability to create mixed flights for the Germans.
