Korea War!

Sort of stand-in sharkmouth... because I saw one on the forum somewhere!

The "Rusty B", HMS Bulwark 1966

OK, just one screenie. This photo is edited. Also, I did a quick code to the Eagle Pack so the Silent Ra'am only carried four 2K bombs.

Hello Crawford, thank you for those out and lod files for the Nieu. 23 series by Geezer. I can now confirm after testing that they fix the static blur problem on the Nieu. 23 rotary engines. I recommend that, if you have downloaded the big pack with several of Geezer's latest works-in-progress models - you also download the out/lod files that Crawford has posted above - simply drop the files into your Nieu. 23, 23bis, and 23dux folders - and you will have proper rotation of the engine. Excellent discovery Crawford! Perhaps we will be able to fix this same problem on the Nieu. 23 Lewis variant soon too. For the Nieu. 27 - the latest files I have by Geezer, while almost done, do not have correctly aligned left/right wheels...I will PM you the files for testing. Von S

Vickers Valiant B.1 - No.35 Squadron, RAF Far East Air Force, 1955

Hi, Von S. Why do you think that the engine doesn't rotate to yet on the Nie.23 series? It seems to me that the engine blurs dut doesn't rotate on the Nieuport23_Lewis only. Maybe we have different LODs? By the way, the Nie.23 series is just that case (along with both Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa planes) when the distant LODs are working normally. Nieuport23.OUT Nieuport23.LOD P.S. And what's wrong with the Nieu.27? It seems to me that this is a completely finished model, no worse than Geezer's N17 or N23...

Nuovi aggiornamenti, gente! L'Italia è quasi completata, poi mi manca da lavorare ancora sui Paesi dei Balcani (ex-Yugoslavia). Ho cambiato tipo di tileset, ne sto usando un altro di Stary i cui colori sono più adatti per maggior parte dell'area, a mia opinione. Ho creato anche nuove texture per far fronte a varie necessità. Ho aggiunto tutti i fiumi principali e i maggiori laghi Italiani al terreno, usando delle mappe e Google Earth come riferimenti. Credo di aver fatto un ottimo lavoro nell'imitare i percorsi naturali dei fiumi e le forme dei laghi, pur con le limitazioni del motore grafico. Giudicate voi il risultato! (i fiumi sugli screenshot in basso si notano appena a causa delle texture in uso, ma se fate attenzione noterete percorsi del tutto simili a quelli del mondo reale!). Dulcis in fundo, ecco una overview generale degli aeroporti finora presenti. Per quanto mi riguarda, l'Italia è ormai completata. Ora devo pensare agli altri Stati: Lista di aeroporti e basi aeree aggiunte all'Italia (57): Alghero-Fertilia Airport Amendola Airbase Ancona-Falconara Airport Asiago Airport Aviano Airbase Bari Airport Brescia-Montichiari Airport Brindisi Airport Bologna Airport Bolzano Airport Cameri Airport Cagliari-Elmas Airport Caserta-Grazzanise Airport Cervia Airbase Crotone-Sant'Anna Airport Decimomannu Airbase Foggia Airport Forlì Int'l Airport Florence Airport Frosinone Airport Galatina Airbase Genoa Airport Ghedi Airbase Gioia Del Colle Airbase Grosseto Airport Guidonia Airbase Istrana Airbase Lamezia Terme Int'l Airport Latina Airport Milan-Linate Airport Milan-Malpensa Airport Naples Int'l Airport Olbia-Costa Smeralda Airport Orio Al Serio Int'l Airport Oristano-Fenosu Airport Padua Airport Parma Airport Perugia Airport Pescara Airport Piacenza-San Damiano Airbase Pisa Int'l Airport Pratica Di Mare Airbase Ravenna Airport Rimini-Miramare Airport Rivolto Airbase Rome-Ciampino Int'l Airport Rome-Fiumicino Int'l Airport Rome-Urbe Airport San Pancrazio Airfield Siena-Ampugnano Airport Taranto-Grottaglie Airport Trento-Mattarello Airport Treviso Airport Trieste-Ronchi Dei Legionari Airport Venice-Tessera Airport Verona-Villafranca Airport Vicenza Airport Lista dei siti SAM aggiunti all'Italia (33): Agna SAM Site Amendola SAM Site Aquileia SAM Site Ardola SAM Site Barattoli SAM Site Borgo Manara SAM Site Bovolone SAM Site Brenton SAM Site Ceggia SAM Site Cervia SAM Site Codogno SAM Site Conetta SAM Site Coriano SAM Site Ghedi SAM Site Gioia Del Colle SAM Site Longare SAM Site Manerbio SAM Site Monte Grappa SAM Site Padua SAM Site Pian Del Cansiglio SAM Site Portegrandi SAM Site Povegliano Veronese SAM Site Punta Gorzone SAM Site Quirra SAM Test Range Sacile SAM Site San Damiano SAM Site San Giorgio Di Livenza SAM Site San Marco SAM Site Spangaro SAM Site Suzzara SAM Site Teglio Veneto SAM Site Trecenta SAM Site Villafranca SAM Site Lista dei siti radar Early Warning aggiunti all'Italia (12): Croce Grande EW-GCI Site Gargano EW-GCI Site Maccarese EW-GCI Site Otranto EW-GCI Site Paùli Mannu EW-GCI Site Poggio Renatico EW-GCI Site Portogruaro EW-GCI Site Potenza Picena EW-GCI Site Quaglietta EW-GCI Site Remondò EW-GCI Site Tirli EW-GCI Site Varcaturo EW-GCI Site PS: i siti SAM ed EW-GCI sono reali e prendono il nome delle località a cui si trovano vicine. Spesso sono situati in zone rurali e alcune di queste località non sono grandi né famose. Sono stato accurato con le loro locazioni, nei limiti del motore grafico del gioco. PS n°2: @paulopanz Dimmi che hai degli F-104S Italiani aggiornati! Quelli che ho hanno un flight model incasinato!

Here are some screenshots from v813.3: GUN Reticle with A/A lock AIM9 SEAM Mode AIM9 NIRD RWR HUD Threats

All 120+ ALARM missiles fired during the first Gulf War were fired from the under fuselage stations. The original wiring was for the inboard wing pylons until they realised they'd have nowhere to hang the Hindenburg's..... Side of pylon mounting came later.

Thanks for the tips @daddyairplanes . Last night was a good night to take a Strike Eagle out on a spin over Iraq... shame nobody's done a movie around the Strike Eagle.

While geared more for the SF2 series, the basic information is usefull for new (and even continuing!) FE2 players Have Fun!

Next Coupi's movie. 1st shoot is how to not use ALARMS at low alt ;-)

Sometimes on a lazy Sunday you just want to relax and watch a classic war movie like 633 Squadron...

Some (almost) historical loads for Desert Storm. 1) Zeppelin tanks are under skinning so I used 1500 ltrs. 2) They very rare (or maybe never?) used ALARMs under wings. Everybody will probably load them anyway. I can leave em in loadouts or remove. What would you like ? So ... 2 or 3 Paveway II and 4 x CBU-87

Mirage over Ecuador :

ravenclaw, only the Scooter (ok and maybe the Super Tweet) can make a 250lb bomb look big Crusader against Evil........ all the same skin too...............

U.S. Navy A-4F Skyhawks loadet with Mk-81 bombs

Same skin, 90% done on camo

I'd forgotten that i had this on a disk lying around. It's and old model (have no access to the newer lods), but it was still fun to fly. BTW, the Mig-25 was more of an annoyance than any real threat.

Wow!! Momo and Uzeir!!! Seen them in wartime and post-wartime state... Very recognisable! (And mandatory pic)

Hello Silberpfeil, the FM has been extensively re-done to fit historical characteristics of the CL.IV - didn't do any tweaking however to the Gunner AI but I did do some dogfights today between a Camel and CL.IV and it was a very tough fight. The CL.IV displays excellent defensive maneuvers...or maybe the particular aircraft I encountered was at the ace AI level. To sharpen the gunner further, change the following two entries in the data ini: under the AIData section, change: GunnerAimOffset=0.005 to GunnerAimOffset=0.08 under the // Internal Guns section, change, for the Tailgun section: GunTypeName=7.92MM_PARABELLUM_MG14_Gunner to GunTypeName=7.92MM_PARABELLUM_MG14_HGunner (HGunner) has about 70 percent accuracy, while (Gunner) is about 40 percent accuracy if you like, also change the burstamount entry for a bigger volley of lead: BurstAmount=10 to BurstAmount=20 This should keep dogfights entertaining with the CL.IV. A couple of pics. below - in one the CL.IV managed to put a few holes in my top wing but eventually I hit his fuel tank - in the other pic., after attacking his friend, I received a volley of bullets in my top wing that eventually gave me the Sopwith monoplane conversion you see in the pic. Happy flying, Von S

Somewhere in Serbia... Unis Towers in Sarajevo...

Thank you Crawford!! Removing the all LODs (except the first one) did the trick!

Vickers Valiant crew sightseeing over the Sinai, 1956. (They can see the Pyramids from here.) On the way back they spot an Egyptian air base. They leave their calling cards (21 1000lb general purpose iron bombs).
