F-100D with CBU-2B/A (SUU-7A) dispenser and CBU-52B/B

And for Wrench again

Something for Wrench

I know some had some issues with 3d work by UMM, but he's posting WIP models from scratch to completion, are you guys planning to use those buildings in the upgrade? Both buildings in Kuwait and Iraq will add a lot.

How about it? Still a long way to go, but it's a start... Next, I'll be adding airports/airbases in Austria, Greece and Corsica, France (maybe something neutral in Switzerland too). This is the Cold War version of the terrain. A separate one will be made for the 1990s Balkan conflict and beyond. Speaking of the Balkan conflict, Udbina Air Base had been theatre of a NATO air mission. However, I've been unable to find any info about the construction year of said air base. I doubt that Udbina Air Base already existed back in 1963 (the Cold War version of the terrain spans from 1963 to 1991). If anyone is interested in doing a research about it, it'd help greatly. I have found this link which claims that Udbina Air Base existed before 1990, but no precise dates about its history during Cold War: http://www.forgottenairfields.com/croatia/lika-senj/udbina-s68.html

On decals now. I used old DS set, but adding new planes, correcting sizes and positions, checking photos. So: ZA 447 Mig Eater ZD717 Hello Kuwait ZA465 Foxy Killer

Good job!! Mission success ;-))) Well ..

Upgraded Typhoon FGR5 with CFT's and AESA radar.

This is one that I think is well worth watching

I was thinking we could take back Long Beach Naval Station. CL

Yep, that fixed it thanks!

I would like to recommend you guys the movie "the Captain" It is a film based on true events 2 weeks before the 2nd world war ended in Germany. The events took place in the area where I was born, grown and still live. https://youtu.be/w2hg0S6y2X8 https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/the-captian-movie.html

Stilla beta but needed! works in a 4.12 install https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,59564.0.html

TW forum finds TK on how TW makes low-res lods TK on multiple lods textures TK on setting lod distances TK on polycount/vertices for groundobjects (limits)

Holy crap. Total game changer! Way to go!

New decals: ZD854, Amanda-Jane ZA452, Gulf Killer and done from zero ZD850, Cherry Lips

end result of what i was looking to do

Roll angle values on the BRU-61 stations could be the culprit.

Battle of Britain Day...

September 15 1940 saw huge air battles over South-East England. It is now remembered as Battle of Britain Day...

Some more silver T-Birds (a big thanks to ravenclaw_007 for the JG71 Tulip he made me)

Unfortunately, my BRU-61 SDB racks are messed up (I'm not sure why), but it is definitely possible to mod the F-15SE to have SDB racks on the LCFT_Station1, RCFT_Station1, LCFT_Station3 and RCFT_Station3. It takes a fair amount of trial and error as I found out. A mix of SDB racks and CFT stations: Because of the rack issue, I've developed a work around using the MER4 rack as a EOGR rack:

Hello everybody, Today we'll tell you a bit about what awaits us (and you) in the near future. First, we plan to publish the new update soon, at the end of this month or at the beginning of October, that will bring numerous fixes and improvements for the existing stuff - Career fixes, multiplayer stability in tank missions, corrected German bombs for 1944 timeframe and new Fw 190 A-8 modifications we have covered in the previous Dev Blog. In addition, our programmers managed to improve the collision detection between various vehicles and objects without compromising performance and fix bugs, also, trees will stop or divert/slow projectiles. The graphics will get the attention as well - you can see some of the reworked graphical effects on the following screenshots: New Bodenplatte aircraft, Bf 109 K-4 and P-47D-28, will be released to Early Access later this Autumn. New Po-2 Collector Plane and two WWI aircraft for Flying Circus Early Access, Pfalz D.IIIa and Sopwith Camel, will follow before the end of the year, provided we don't run into unexpected problems. Meanwhile, we're also working on the new Marschal mode for multiplayer which should make it more interesting and refreshing for all multiplayer oriented users of our projects. New tank models take a lot of time to develop, so Tank Crew customers will get their new toys early next year, but it looks like they'll get a lot of other stuff in a short time frame starting with the map of the Southern part of the Kursk salient (see Dev Blog #195) and continuing with animated tank crew members (ETA: Spring) and their AI capable of controlling the new playable tanks (the work on it has already started). This will make possible to create the missions where the player tank will be a part of the unit fighting against the enemy tanks s which will have the same high level of modeling detail. The main tank systems and damage modeling should be finished before Summer. The work on the additional UI for tank and unit commanders has started too. And of course, there will be new tanks - our Saint-Petersburg based partner, Digital Forms, plans to have 4 of them ready before Spring: Lend-lease M4A2 Sherman; T-34-76 mod. 1943 made by factory #183 (most probably, we're still researching the exact variant); PzKpfw IV Ausf.G made during Spring 1943 with additional armoured sheets (Schürzen); PzKpfw III Ausf.M also with additional armoured sheets. Today we can already show you the early WIP screens of it: You can discuss the news in this thread

7 engine bomber............. (Doom 34, which had an engine lose oil pressure on takeoff from Barksdale. the crew didnt report it to the mission commander until past the halfway point enroute to Iraq)

VFA-127, Double Nuts, 1986

Howling at the Moon

Waiting for... the alert ! Gracias Torno !

very nice meanwhile in Louisiana........

I found a big slow down was caused by all the tracers in the air from all the gun turrets of a large bomber formation. I had a good FPS increase by re-sizing all the tracer.tga textures 3 or 4 times smaller to 30x30. Visually it doesn't make any difference. Also try reverting to stock TW tracer smoke effects if you have a modded one. Also do this as again it worked for me: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/84199-frame-rate-tweak-for-nvidia-users/

Looking to fill the aggressor requirement for USAF ,USN and possibly NATO customers , private companies investigated the purchase of modified JF-17 Thunder fighters . The US government agreed to the private purchase on condition that a US engine and avionics were fitted,and that no "live" weapons could be carried . The modified jet was known as the A-17 .

To enhance the ground support of the troops on deployments...the GoC purchased A-10s in a deal brokered with Washington. Still needs some serial work to complete it.

Hey Volker, great job on the weapons! on thing with your data.inis though: the callout for the damaged node on the model for the VertTail is wrong. [VertTail] ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Tail DestroyedNodeName=VertTail_Damaged ---> has to be DestroyedNodeName=D_Tail ShowFromCockpit=TRUE DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE DamageRating=DESTROYED MassFraction=0.042 HasAeroCoefficients=TRUE Not to hijack your thread, but since you posted updated data.inis for the A-1 I think it still fits somehow. I did a quick pack to incorporate all ini-updates I found for TWs A-1H/J (yours, Wrenchs, luk1978s) and included 300gal tanks. Feel free to use and change this to your needs. - updated attachment-positions for Ravenclaws weapons on outer pylons - corrected VertTail Damage-Texture callout - additional lights from Wrenchs INI-update from 2013 - added skids to enable belly landings from luk1978s original data.inis - formation lights on fuselage and wingtips by me - 2 different 300gal droptanks made by cocas (conversion) + me (model) - changed max. flap-deflection from 50.0 to 40.0 to avoid contact with the droptanks - changed outer wing pylon grouping to get more realistic loadouts (Wingtip 1 2 3 4 3 4 InnerPylon CenterPylon InnerPylon 4 3 4 3 2 1 Wingtip) - basic loadout.inis with changed pylon-setup to include tanks - wingfold activated (Strg+1) - works only without weapons as they unfortunately don't follow the wings TW_A-1H+J_UpdatedINIs_NF2017.7z

will see what i can do about this new pot this here took me more than a year with research and get all details done , finaly it is finish the MK-82_Air i animated the release mechanism as much as i could do , hope it is ok with you -

i made some long needed weapons for the German Air Force Fiat G-91 , F-104G and F-4F - Mk-83 HDGP (High Drag General Purpose) and LDGP (Low Drag General Purpose) , the GAF was the only Mk-83 user that used that weapon with a french retard system that was specialy made for the GAF using a brake chute later the French made a similar bomb the SAMP EU3 - Matra 250Kg HDGP the standard bomb for all german aircraft in that time - LAU-51A - LAU-32B/A - M116A2 Fire Bomb was used with the Fiat G-91
