I dont know, why at Hokkaido the farmland has this squary lines of trees. Okay its Japan. They make strange things like eating raw fish, karaoke, harakiri. Why not planting squares of trees filled with farmland=

Sorry for being ignorant, but of course I'd like to thank some people I met and worked with over the years and that are of course also responsible for this title! In no particular order: cocas, wrench, dtmdragon, bigstone, denissoliveira, coupi, makoto, soulfreak, ravenclaw007, eole Thank you guys!

Or a new vulcan would be nice.

Will New Zealand send a squadron to the fight? ;)

I have it as a separate install.

As some you know, I've been slowly working on converting Mytai's F-4B skins to newer, better SF2 standards. Mostly through using Sundowner's hi-rez template. Some of which was covered in this thread: But several questions have arisen. One, obviously answered with these sentences: But the primary one remains, as to "year operations". Since we have the ability to turn on skins at a certain date (the SF2 date switch in the texture set ini), do I 1) use the date date switch, which forces the game to use that as the primary skin from the start year selected, of 2) not use the date switch, and let the End User (tm) select the skin -and have to also select for all wingmen in the flights. Also, if anyone else is working on converting these 70-odd skins, DO LET ME KNOW! So work won't be duplicated and cause a waste of time!! So, let's hear what you all think...

seeing as cocas has a thing for British warplanes that never were.... of course it could feature a pepsi skin as well

For his outstanding work in moving the Strike Fighters community forward, and his contributions in modding, advice, skinning and general all-around good guy, has been awarded the title of Modder Congrats, brother! Welcome to the faternity! and, as always, the first round is on YOU!!

excellent work for heinmanns hotroddders I have as a kid has been at Quonset pier with my sister and seen the sorrow of ladys who have lost sailors who did not return from deployment.!!

Looks great! Is this going to need a separate install or can it be treated as an add-on for the Vietnam AG XP?

A good observation! For much of the war the Allies experienced a chronic shortage of machine guns, particularly light weight aircraft guns. This problem gradually went away during 1917 with new factories coming online - and the introduction of the SPAD 13. On the subject of synchronizers, there are all kinds of internet references that state N17s were built with Vickers guns mounted on the center line. Only problem with that, is the French Ministry of Munitions never authorized production of any rotary engine synchonizer other than the Alkan-Hamy! Or, if it did, the records have not survived 100 years of turmoil. Again, I suspect the confusion arises from the British inability to develop a reliable synchronizer until mid-1917! Per Woodman's Early Aircraft Armament, the Brits employed the following systems, only one of which was equal to the Fokker/Alkan-Hamy gears: Vickers-Challenger: Bristol Scout, Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter, BE12, RE8 Scarff-Dybovsky: Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter, Sopwith Pup Sopwith-Kauper: Sopwith aircraft (particularly Camel), despite flaws was closest the Brits came to a standardized gear until Constantinesco gear was introduced in 1917 Ross: Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter ARISAD: Nieuport 20, early RE8 Armstrong-Whitworth: FK8 Constantinesco: When the Brits finally got their act together - a year after everyone else - they did it right. Beginning with DH4 in Spring of 1917, the excellent "CC" gear was to have replaced all earlier gears, but it proved impossible to modify all British aircraft in the real world. The British duplication of effort is remarkable, particularly when you consider that most of the gears were not as good as the German/French gears. The best the Brits could field before mid-1917 was 2,750 Sopwith-Kauper gears, despite a tendency for the guns to "run away" and shoot up the propeller - they also had a high rate of mechanical failure due to excessive wear.

I think I will try a F5A !

Really cool historical background!!

And finished templates ;-)

good job! but The location of some of the instruments also need to be adjusted.

Hey guys, sorry for being late to the party, but as some of you know, I'm moving my living place half across Germany. On workdays I do my job and on weekends I have to get things done in the old flat 500km away. Just came home from a very busy weekend again. If all goes well, I'm finally done at the end of this month and I hope to get back to modding and skinning after that. The last weeks and months I hardly did anything useful regarding SF2, but few things that are on the way: - Update to the TA-4F-FastFACs - highres skins and some fakepilot-addons - Foreign TA-4 Skyhawks (Australia, Israel (with and without extended exhaust tube), New Zealand, Indonesia,...) - all Vietnam Skyhawks units and deployements (long term project) - early AD Skyraider templates - new TA-4 SKyhawk-model from scratch - since it's my first project (and done in Blender), I don't know if it ever leads to something useful, but we'll see. The fuselage is done at the moment. Thank you for this honor, my friends! And now Cheers!

WIP. New tiles for the japanese island of my Kuril Islands terrain. Intercept mission over Kunashir island. And again one Japonsky down!

I assume this is using the Korea3 terrain? if so, it's about frelling time someone takes advantage of the 100 year span I built in!!!

Lookin forward to this one!

JA.37 cockpit proposal from the TW F-15A one...

I had the same idea time ago, but I am not much into campaign editing. Looking forward to this, it's a great what if scenario ala SF2!

The Turnip Termites

It has only delayed by other projects my friends! we have the main files. Time is the keyword now if you catch the drift...

Done!

It won't be silent night ....

Nuke carriers have been Kurnasses. At least one Kurnass has been armed with nuke with live fire order. Thankfully the nuclear release order was cancelled (20minutes?) later so no flight was made with armed nuke. "Officially" as we know of. Pushing the Red Button for the losing side as last resort is a common doctrine "If we die, we will die together" attitude. Shameful for all the humankind that weapons of mass destruction are the only mean to deter an overwhelmingly superior aggressor.

Happy New Year. ...and coming in 2018..

Making slow but steady progress. This is going to be a high-polycount aircraft.

Perhaps guys could vote on what kind of cigarette our hero is smoking?

A little plane is ready for 2018, we wish you a nice Xmas and a blessed year 2018. Hope you guys will do well. So far, best regards, the Sukhoi Team
