TK's F-14 in NSAWC Splinter Camo...circa May 1999

A few more shots.

Been working on the N17/24/27 stuff and got the first one - the N27 - into the air. Furball over France!

Panagopoulos class Patrol Boat in Hellenic Navy...1975-2003 http://navalanalyses.blogspot.gr/2016/01/warships-of-past-panagopoulos-class.html

You're quite welcome. I combine my professional knowledge of aircraft and visual design in one hobby, so its a lot of fun for this old geezer.

This FM is made for the MontyCZ / Ndidki / Wrench Package available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/13723-sf2-ww2-messerschmitt-bf-109g-10-pak-by-montycz-an-ndiki/ I started out using the usual TW S-99/199 FM as a starting point for this but was a bit disappointed in the performance so tried to find an excuse to do something about it. After comparing the S-99 FM to the TW P-51 and Spitfire FM's and doing a bit of research on line I think the lift is understated for the S-99. Both the P-51 and Spitfire had unique wing designs for the WW2 era with both having lower lift coefficients than was typical for other types. The Bf-109's older style wing was, except for the slats, more typical for the era so I was expecting to see a noticeable difference between the types. Nope. Anyway, I crunched a few numbers and made some adjustments. The change is quite significant with much better energy retention in high G turns while still staying within the low speed turn times generated by assorted Soviet tests. The Soviet tests were conducted at 1000 meters at [I think] 60deg bank angle and a sustained 2G's. Under those conditions assorted Bf-109 G series were doing the 360deg turn in the 20 to 23 second range. My tests with the G-10 FM attached are coming in at about 22 seconds. As a further check I added the changes to an earlier Bf-109 E-3 FM I made to see how it did against the Soviet tests. Most of the Soviet tests with the E series were complicated by assorted engine problems so many of the turn times were actually worse than the G series. Tests by other countries gave better results though, with Luftwaffe and Finnish results in the 19-20 second range. That's what I'm getting with the modified E-3 FM. As a further check, I compared the E-3 to a British turn test done at 12000ft with a turn time of 25 seconds and that's what I got. As a FURTHER test, I compared the new E-3 1000M turn time to the E-3 1000M turn time obtained from a totally different sim, BoB2, and it tested in the 19-20 second range. Anyway, I'm going to be running this modified FM for awhile and see how it works out. Notes: The BF-109-G-10 had a WEP system using water/methonal injection. [MW-50] There was a 30 minute supply which has been modeled, but the gentlemens agreement says you can only use it for 10 minutes at a time with a 3 minute rest period between each use. I had some issues finding information on the engine/altitude performance and some of the target speeds are extrapolated from the faster K series so it will probably get some future adjustments. Damage modeling is KAW-ish with a few of my own ideas thrown in. The roll rate has been tuned using some info contained in the AvHistory BF-109-G-10 FM. The AI has been tweaked a bunch, but similar to my previous WW2 FM's. Here it is: Bf109g-10_DATA0.95.zip

Some apparently declassified videos taken from objects caught by US Navy FA-18 ATFLIRs............not proof of Alien technology of course but important for flyers who have to perhaps deconflict with UFOs...........Alien, Chinese or otherwise. For the record of course with Trillions of Stars (let alone planets) out there it would seem a tad ridiculous to assume this single planet we call Earth is the only one with carbon based or any form of life. https://coi.tothestarsacademy.com/2004-nimitz-flir1-video FLIR1 is the second of three US military videos of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) that has been through the official declassification review process of the United States government and approved for public release. It is the only official footage captured by a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet present at the 2004 Nimitz incident off the coast of San Diego. Like GIMBAL, this footage comes with crucial chain-of-custody (CoC) documentation because it is a product of US military sensors, which confirms it is original, unaltered, and not computer generated or artificially fabricated. While there have been leaked versions on the internet, the CoC establishes the authenticity and credibility that this version is the original footage taken from one of the most advanced sensor tracking devices in use. The sensor, a Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) pod, has two imaging modes: mid-wave infrared and visual...... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/head-of-pentagons-secret-ufo-office-sought-to-make-evidence-public/2017/12/16/90bcb7cc-e2b2-11e7-8679-a9728984779c_story.html?utm_term=.b6f29d90d814

Hi all, This is my Beechcraft Staggerwing 17R. There was only 18 of the Staggerwing 17Rs with fixed landing gear made and two of them where prototypes and now there is only one left in the world and it is on display at the Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma, Tennessee and this airframe is one of two prototype model 17Rs made and there is no production ones left in the world. You can download it from Canvas Knights Mods; https://combatace.com/files/file/16635-beechcraft-staggerwing-17r/ Hope you all enjoy the Staggerwing. Deutschmark

Really nice work!

Hi all, I know its been a while from when I made a model last, I have been busy with RL as I am playing music in a band again and all though it is doing very good for me it levees me near no time for modeling. This is the Boeing Model 83 was a prototype and a state of the art bi-plane of its time and what later became the Boeing P-12's ARMY Air Core and Boeing F-4B's US NAVY fighter planes of the USA in the early to mid 30's. This prototype was made without guns and was just made for fun flying and testing of the planes airframe it was actually called a ( production prototype ) as more then 3 where made of it and they where given to the US ARMY Air Core, US NAVY and even some of the top racing and stunt flyers of 1930 for testing and feedback of the plane. This model can be used in Canvas Knights game. You can get it here in Canvas Knights Mods https://combatace.com/files/file/16624-boeing-model-83/ Hope you all enjoy the Boeing Model 83. Deutschmark

This mod needs the CK configuration app to work!, you can get that in the CK tools downloads; Here we have the first CK Mod that will change your CK WW1 game into 1903 Kitty Hawk North Carolina for the first successful sustained powered flight of the Wright brothers. The First Flight pack includes the Kitty Hawk scenery, the Wright Flyer and the Horseless Carriage. Credits; First Flight scenery made by Python. First Flight 3D models made by Deutschmark.
