this is a new house just worked on today it is my house. lol Soon I will have it completed, but I have one request please don't do air strike on it lol

Windowing... Nose gear is not right at all as it is like this: I must learn to make Ford Mustang like wheels now, it seems...

more fun with stickers (and 133 decal.ini entries)

This is video is pretty cool. I don't know a lot about the B-29 and was surprised to learn the level of sophistication this bird had for back in the day. Mad respect to the crews, maintainers, and engineers involved with this aircraft.

If they were not the common case, I'd like them removed, or at least not set as a default loadout. You can always add a loadout something like [STRIKE_ALARM]. It won't override the stock loadout but it will be available to users using the mission editor.

Dont forget to put your personal I-HAWK site onto the roof!! ;D

Alt-D twice will give you a clear screen in game. Alt-P if you wanna pause and get different views of hte action mandatory screenie, from the archives today

It's the DAT CAC CA-15 'Kangaroo' !

So pull up the data.ini's from either pack and look for the CFT station entries. Compare both and I'm sure you will find incongruities, e.g. center CFT stations configured to carry 2000Ib bombs. Look for the following statements (metric) to tinker with: LoadLimit=1250 LengthLimit=3.620 DiameterLimit=0.470 If you get disoriented, refer to the loadout.ini. Not only will you find explanations but you will also note that the loadout entries (in the loadout.ini) correspond to specific StationID's in the data.ini's. By way of illustration: StationID=25 in the dta.ini will correspond to Loadout[25].WeaponType=*** in the loadout.ini Happy Modding!

Great stuff gterl, pleased to hear that. I've already started with one completed DiD single mission in the Palestine theater, with a new pilot, for July of 1918 when some Pfalzes arrived there. Post is below for immersion, and some "period" pics. too - will be interesting to see how long Ltn. Müller survives using the 20 DiD rules for missions that I posted. Von S --- First DiD Mission for Vzfw. Fritz Müller, Palestine theater, following the 20 rules for DiD --- July 27, 1918 "Today was a morning mission to bust balloons near Jericho. Weather was broken and with slight winds. I had a headache from the previous night's celebration to welcome our new flight officer, but the cool morning air, I was sure, would be beneficial. We had also received some Pfalzes recently, prior to our previous flight officer's replacement. They were sent by train, with some delays, but we were grateful to receive them finally at Jenin airfield. The Albatros D.II we were still relying on was a nearly useless type and I dreaded getting into one of them. Today was my first mission in the Pfalz, although I had already trained some on them back home. Their acceleration and climb is pleasant, although I am now more careful to watch my speed and stay out of spins - this I learned unexpectedly in flight school. Flying with me was a new fellow, Ltn. Eckard Steinmann, who already had five combat missions under his belt but no kills. It was a comfort to have him fly with me - I have had only two combat missions so far, both uneventful, no aircraft encountered the first time and the other time a brief fight with one of those English pusher-types. My guns had however jammed on the old Albatros and I wasn't able to fire a shot. Today would be different, I hoped, and so it was. Working our way towards Jericho between clouds, at around 2000 meters, we noticed a solitary balloon further south of the town. My flight companion who was above and in front of me made a signal and we dove on the balloon. It lit up rather quickly in a small ball of flame and disappeared below; soon after I turned and noticed the observer parachuting down into a field. Some large solitary English aircraft had been lumbering around in the vicinity and decided unwisely to attack us after our adventure with the balloon. He was however slow and with poor maneuverability and I got on his tail quickly. I had already experimented with a cockpit-camera device on the old Albatros and was eager to test it out on the Pfalz too. Fortunately I had time to install the device yesterday but there was no opportunity to test it. You see it works intermittently - the gun trigger is connected by wire with the device and every 20 rounds or so fired is one full exposure for a picture. Somewhat clumsy yes but I was pleased with it, and today especially for it captured the lumbering English type as it began to smoke and steam profusely. Cold by now and tired of our adventure, I made a wide turn north, south of Jericho, only to see what seemed to be two English scouts approaching rapidly, a new maneuverable type they have here, although in small numbers, and that I had heard stories of several times. Steinmann went after the lower fellow while I began a gentle climb to meet the other Englishman. We circled and circled for what seemed like ages, with my adversary outmaneuvering me most of the time, but I was careful to maintain speed and to use gentle movements, getting out of his way whenever possible. My camera again worked well when I found myself on the fellow's tail. His fuel tank was punctured; eventually I saw his propeller stop as he drifted southeast, with Steinmann following behind and his own adversary nowhere to be seen. Apprehensive of meeting with other unpleasant things, we decided to climb north into the clouds again, above Jericho, and then over the mountains for the long flight back to Jenin. Later that day the report came in that I would be awarded with three kills - a balloon, the lumbering Englishman, and the maneuverable and pesky scout that kept getting on my tail and even managed to put a few holes in my rudder. Steinmann congratulated me and was surprised that my lack of experience in combat, compared to his own, had not gotten in the way. I amusingly suggested that perhaps my lack of combat experience is what helped me this time and that flight school was correct by putting me in the cockpit of a Pfalz. Sometimes at flight school they'll tell you anything, and sometimes they are right. In all the excitement, I had nearly forgotten that I would be awarded the Honor Goblet and was being promoted to Lieutenant!" --- Note: Early war, lowest congestion settings from my ver. 9.5 FM updates pack are being used in the Flight folder for this series of adventures, to help further with the "light" aircraft activity setting in the FE2 game menu.

"What If" I ever finish this terrain.................a Sabre Mk-6 somewhere over "New Dhimar."

I only hope they don't touch 'Tora Tora Tora'. The best historical/war movie I've ever seen.

Historically accurate in 2018? soooo the IJN is gonna be the protagonist, and Admiral Spruance played by an Inuit lesbian? (much filming in Canada per teh article)

Riiiiiiight.... "historically accurate" (as said in the link). As soon as I say a a women's name in the cast, I"m already suspect (pointing back to the original with Heston's sons Japanese girlfriend and that whole diversion) So, lets see... cgi YORKTOWN class carriers; pretty simple to do cgi TBDs - pretty easy I guess. AND we might finally see them in a film. Same can be said for the Zeke, Vals, Kates, Dauntless and Wildcat (I'm not mentioning TBFs, as there were only 6 in the Real Battle). Good thing is, there are plenty of "original" or replica (IJN replica birds left over from Tora, Tora, Tora) Not gonna pass real judgement until something substantial appears.

It really is petty childish BS that is the position of the current administration. Senator McCain should have been afforded every consideration in his passing. Being from Arizona myself I wouldn't have even cared if they sent the bill to Arizonians. He was a man of integrity, honesty, strong character, down to earth, and humble. Qualities most in government don't care about. It's get elected and leave your morals at home. Very sad.

In way to the target area...

Who needs two tails? Using the F-15SE's stealth features to go AWACs hunting:

South Atlantic theater...

Beta is out. Working to update and revise select target areas. Currently in the process of building some smaller compact targets.

in BMS Flying the F-16, navigating and using A-A and A-G weapons is not that hard, even using the TGP can be learnt in some time. Guys, believe me, enter youtube, search for Krauzes tutorials and take pen and paper to annotate the more important things. You will be flying in no time!! BTW MiGBuster, I like your entries. Thanks for creating them!

You know, I really really want to try this game, but I am afraid it will be super difficult to learn all the start up procedures and managing the weapon systems. It might take months just to learn how to fly one type of plane and operate all it's systems properly.

9specter528, Currently this terrain has the following active nations; China, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Australia (USN,USMC, USAF and US ARMY are there). I purposely left out Vietnam, Myanmar as the area is so vast and it is a challenge to build such a large target-rich environment. Have had to retile some areas and "tweak" my primary target area (Malaysia / Indonesia). Hope to have it out there in "2 weeks".

This is a great mod to integrate 'what if' or 'what could have been' aircraft into and see how they fair! RAF F-4JUK (this is the interceptor the RAF wanted to deploy but politically the Tornado ADV got the job), RNZAF A-4K flying in a joint Skyhawk Wing with the Kuwaiti's (this option was actully pushed in preference to the USMC mercs that ended up providing ground support for the Kuwaiti's but the NZ government faltered ), TSR-2, F-111D, F-111K even an extended service Vulcan with Falklands war ordanance/ ECM mods etc

One of the greatest mods, first time I played it, it was a version for the old Wings Over Europe. My only gripe with it is that the terrain is pretty wrong, for target locations etc. The one I made is identical in dimensions (portrays the same area), but addresses such issues and was also built for ODS. I wonder if people are still interested in playing ODS; when I get the chance, I might rework the campaign files and provide a more accurate campaign.

Yes, everyone knew it was dumb to cut F-22 production but BUDGET. So we're going to make old planes and fighter-bombers do air superiority. Of course, we could just stop sending our planes all over the damn place and then we wouldn't need so many.

Tomorrow, When The War Began is a book published in 1993 that details the invasion and partial occupation of Australia by a foreign power. Is basically the Australian version of ‘Red Dawn’. It was also turned into a movie released in 2010.The invading nation is never specified in the book but is portrayed as China in the movie. In the book no major world powers are prepared to fight in Australia’s defence due to the risk of war with the invading nation. The only country engaging in open warfare alongside Australia is New Zealand. However the book states that the United States is supplying New Zealand with military equipment and training since it cannot engage in open warfare itself. Here is my take on that RNZAF from invasion in 1993 till today: 1993 The invasion is achieved by a massive simultaneous air and amphibious assault that overwhelms Australia’s Air Defences. Long range bombers striking the RAAF’s airbases succeed in severely damaging the RAAF’s capability to resist the invasion. The remaining RAAF F111 squadrons and arriving New Zealand A-4K Skyhawks attempt to prevent the reinforcement of the beach heads but ultimately most of Northern Australia falls to the invaders despite months of heavy resistance. PLAAF aircraft are now operating from captured Australian airstrips. Late 1993 To replace heavy losses the United States supplies the RAAF with F/A-18 Hornets from its own Navy squadrons, however replacing the lost RNZAF Skyhawks is a more difficult problem. Eventfully A-4N Skyhawks from Israel are sourced with pressure from the US. These Skyhawks enter service immediately and are often in combat before they are totally repainted in RNZAF markings. Due to the difficulty in replacing RNZAF Skyhawks The US decides to supply F-16C aircraft to New Zealand under similar terms as the WWII Lend-Lease program. Operation ‘Peace Justice’ provides the Aircraft along with training in the US for Kiwi pilots. 1994 Ex USAF F-16C Block 40 aircraft enter service with No. 75 Squadron. By now the replacement Israeli A-4N Skyhawks have been updated to ‘Kahu’ standards with the APG-66NZ radar etc. All A-4K and N Skyhawks are now assigned to No. 2 Squadron. The war reaches a stalemate and enters a ‘war of attrition phase’ with a largely stagnant front line as neither side has the strength left for any large scale offensive pushes. Ultimately an uneasy peace will develop with periodic border skirmishes. 2001 The RNZAF expands its air combat force with another squadron of F-16s and commences an upgrade of its Skyhawk fleet with ‘Kahu Phase II’. The new F-16 aircraft are practically band new A/B Block 15 OCU models from an embargoed Pakistani order in storage and are a fraction of the price of new aircraft. The F-16A/B models are delivered to No. 2 Squadron who hand their upgraded Skyhawks over to No. 14 Squadron. 2003 No. 75 Squadron F-16C Block 40 aircraft are rotated through the United States for the CCIP upgrade to F-16CM Block 40 standards. 2007 No. 2 Squadron F-16A/B Block 15 OCU aircraft receive the F-16AM/BM Mid Life Upgrade (MLU). 2008 To counter the threat from a PLAAF Chengdu J-10 squadron now based in Occupied Northern Australia, a squadron of brand new Lend-Lease F-16C/D Block 52 Plus aircraft are delivered to the RNZAF. These new aircraft are operated by No. 75 Squadron who hand their Block 40 F-16CM Falcons over to No. 14 Squadron who in turn hand their Skyhawks over to No. 4 Territorial (Reserve) Squadron. 2009 The Free Royal Australian Air Force takes delivery of two squadrons of F/A-18F Super Hornets. The RAAF has also continued to operate the A/B model Hornet since the invasion with these aircraft now upgraded to the HUG 3.2 standard. 2013 The continued build up of PLAAF aircraft in occupied Australia has lead to the requirement for a third RNZAF Combat squadron. No .1 Squadron RNZAF is reactivated to take delivery of the newly built F-16D Advanced Block 52 Plus Fighting Falcons. The D model was chosen due to the advantages of a two man fighter crew learnt by the RAAF crews operating the Super Hornet in combat. 2014 The sudden appearance of the advanced Hongqi HQ-18/ S-300V SAM system on the border of occupied Australia in January has left the ANZAC Air Forces at a substantial tactical disadvantage. An urgent operational requirement was issued by the RNZAF to the USAF who responded by leasing a squadron of secondhand F-16CM Block 50 aircraft with the ASQ-213A HTS to New Zealand. The RNZAF has reactivated No. 30 Squadron to operate these aircraft. Today No. 2 Squadron (F-16AM/BM) is permanently based in New Zealand for local air/ maritime defense and the F-16 pilot training syllabus. No. 4 Territorial Squadron is likewise based in New Zealand for emergency point defense. Of the four F-16C/D squadrons (No. 1, No. 14, No. 30, No. 75) three are always based in Australia on Operations and one is rotated back to New Zealand for air defense and pre-deployment work up. The RNZAF has also established No. 8 Tactics Development/ Aggressor Flight which is a small flight based in New Zealand that operates one of each Block F-16 model in RNZAF service to develop air-to-air and air-ground tactics. The flight also operates two captured PLAAF aircraft as part of its air-to-air tactics development. Due to its in-depth understanding of enemy tactics the Flight also functions as an aggressor unit. Apart from combat aircraft the US has also supplied four E-3A Sentry AWACS aircraft to the RNZAF.

Cheers guys I have a separate 'Tomorrow, When The War Began' mods folder with all these aircraft plus every other Chinese, Australian and New Zealand ground, air or sea unit available. The plan is to eventually create a campaign with it but I have never done a custom campaign before so it is going to be a learning process for me! Also as you pointed out Wrench the Darwin and NZ terrains need a bit of changing to more accurately reflect the scenario. Darwin needs the enemy territory spreading inland from the coast of Australia as the campaign progresses and the NZ terrain needs to be changed to all friendly with an enemy carrier station off the coast for the Liaoning to launch raiders from. I know how I would like it to be so it’s just a matter of translating it to the SF2 game. Wrench, the book is actually a series of seven books. I read it about 12 years ago in high school when we had to do a book study on it for English class. I liked it back then so you can imagine how cool It was for me when they released the movie a few years ago!

As a war veteran I did respect him. RIP. I wish he hadn't involved in world politics. (( Especially not in the Ukraine
