"The Old Grey Ghost of the Borneo Coast"

Just a few pics.....

thanks for all your help , i got a big step closer to finish this skin

Soooo I've just decided: This terrain, once finished, will not be released with a campaign. Sorry folks, but the amount of work already put into this is way too much for an old man like me. I love this particular corner of the world and that's why I've put so much effort into this terrain. But a campaign is (currently) beyond my limits...timewise. So pls stay tuned and hopefully this baby will be released in the next weeks,..once I've crushed all the bugs. One thing I can already say..it will have quite an impact on your PCs...more than 500 separate tiles (531 currently), 553 target areas with a total of 9705 targets...and still adding

Doesn't get much better than this...

I could do with a couple of volunteers to try this thing out for me......any takers?

Hi folks,got these from the web and have posted in the hope of someone talented will make a skin...

Okay skinners,here is Maverick's new bird..anyone going to make a skin ?

If you haven't seen that show yet. Watch it. It's raw, it's rough, and will leave you on the edge of your seat. Let me emphasize the raw aspect. It's raw I don't want to spoil anything. Some things will make you angry. Some things will make you question humanity. Some things will build you up or tear you down emotionally. Other things you just might see coming. Of course with shows like this there is always that level of bullshit too. Overall it's a good show. Personally there are some things I don't like about it because I see some agendas at work but they're not distracting.

Fourth DiD Mission for Ltn. Fritz Müller, Palestine theater, following the 20 rules for DiD --- September 5, 1918 "I was back from Amman and the sleepy pace of its flights. We had already joked with Wincklermann that the mission he was sending me and Steinmann on today in the afternoon - to bust balloons west of Jericho - indicated that he was likely transforming into the leisurely officer at Amman with his beloved afternoon patrols. For this flight my good friend would fly an Albatros D.V; a few had reached Jenin aerodrome while I was at Amman. Much to my pleasant surprise, however, my fellow officers had surprised me with a lovely Pfalz, bolted together from a spare Pfalz fuselage we had in one of our tents, and new wings and elevator that had arrived by train from Istanbul, while I was away. The final product was somewhat motley, with blue wings and new crosses, and the grayish fuselage with our old, flared cross markings that had been standard issue until this summer. I was at any rate pleased with the final product and was sure that my foes would remember the colors. I had always preferred the Pfalz to the Albatroses since their slipperiness could count as an advantage during difficult kurvenkampfs. Steinmann was also becoming a better shot and had during my absence bagged a balloon and one of those lumbering types the English call the Martinsyde. Nowotny was in Istanbul, trying to procure improved Mercedes engines for our mounts - the latest engines of 180 horses - and we would not see him for another week. Our flight was initially uneventful. We ascended through broken cloud cover and some winds to an altitude of 2500 meters and flew to our destination unimpeded. We considered it prudent to fly slightly higher than usual since there were reports of English soldiers creeping steadily northwards towards our lines, over the last weeks. Near Jericho we idled our engines and descended gradually southwest of the town, until we spotted our balloon. Both of us opened our guns at it at the same time; I was surprised to see it go up in flames so quickly - was it hit by flak perhaps? Doubtful. Most likely Steinmann had proved an excellent marksman and the balloon rolled away below, in smoke and a cloud of steam. Soon the observer was spotted dangling from his parachute, only to disappear into the mist. We now began a turn towards Jericho when a buzzing was heard overhead. I immediately looked up, only to see a lumbering type bearing down on me, followed by one of those stubbed-nose Scout Experimentals that the English have brought into the theater recently. Round and round we went, with Steinmann above me and surveying the situation. Soon I was above Steinmann, looking at the situation unfolding below as if I was an eagle on a cliff, with my companion now twirling and dancing between the Martinsyde and stub-nosed scout. I took advantage of the situation and made my ingress into this grim dance - first the scout became a torch and whistled off into the ground; then the lumbering type burst into flames, only to break up further below me. Exhausted but pleased, I looked around. Where was Steinmann? There was no cloud cover in the vicinity. Left, right I looked, but he was nowhere to be seen. I then spotted, above my top wing and to the right, that another Englishman was following very closely behind my companion's Albatros, with guns chattering. To my horror, the Albatros' engine then began to burn and black smoke poured out in a thin stream. Was this the final flight for Steinmann, the good marksman with a balloon and plane already to his credit? These thoughts built up in my mind and multiplied, but now was no time for philosophy - I opened my throttle, went after the English scout, and sent some shots his way. He soon began to tremble and disappeared below; it was one of those pesky maneuverable types again, Camels as they call them. With no sign of my companion and disappointed, I did a wide ascending turn above Jericho and disappeared into the clouds above, and kept climbing to about 3000 meters - to avoid further Camels in the area. Still full of sad and contemplative thoughts a half hour later, I idled my engine and descended gradually towards the base at Jenin. My speed was too high so I cut my engine and glided in with a still propeller, side-slipping across the tents and onto our airfield, and rolling to an abrupt stop in front of my hangar. This all greatly amused the fitter and rigger. 'Well done with your dead-stick hop!; I just did one too.' These words came, not from the fitter - but - from Steinmann! - who had now rolled up to his tent with a silent engine as well! 'I managed to put the fire out in a dive,' he said, 'but that Mercedes kept rumbling and rumbling; had no choice but to do a very wide turn into the clouds, kept climbing and climbing - lost sight of you too Fritz and thought that English jockey had bagged you. Seems we were flying roughly the same path back to Jenin but didn't spot you in the high clouds. Oh well, better luck next time.' I congratulated him on his spectacular return and explained that I went after his nemesis, that we got rather low, and that I thought he too was done in today. The fitter was however less than impressed with our tales of adventure and escape - muttering something about how engines were in short supply already, even without holes in them that we seem to have gotten in the habit of collecting. We laughed his comments off and met with Wincklermann soon. Steinmann was credited with his second balloon and third victory. I was credited with the lumbering type, maneuverable Camel, and snub-nosed scout. This now gave me nine victories and, contrary to typical protocol, a second honor goblet - but now in silver instead of steel."

Hello fellow FE2 flyers, Please find included below the latest data ini file for the Nieu. 23 Lewis - the rotary engine now spins correctly with the prop. This data ini replaces the previous data ini for the N.23 Lewis included in the post immediately above this one. A big thanks to Crawford for this excellent discovery and fix! Von S

Can I ask which terrain is that? Mandatory screen, buzzing the airfield.

In response to the ever increasing market for private companies to supply training support , TADS looks to build on the success of the Mirage F1 programme by purchasing redundant Mirage2000 and 2000B fighters.These are quickly in service after being re-engined with the Pratt & Whitney F100 PW-229 to increase performance. ... Thanks to those who answered my question on pylon removal ,I take NO credit for any skins or files used as all are borrowed from various sources on the site and adapted by me using my extremely limited skill set. In memory of The One and Only Dennis..The True Mirage Master.

September 3rd 1943 Eight P-40M fighters of No. 16 Squadron Royal New Zealand Air Force provided bottom cover to a force of USAF Consolidated B-24 Liberators bombing Kahili. On the way home, two Kiwi pilots dropped back to cover a damaged B-24, which was under attack by eight to 10 Zeros. They were successful in driving off the attackers and escorted the bomber safely back to base. For their efforts, both pilots, Flight Lieutenant M.T. Vanderpump and Flight Sergeant J.E. Miller, received the American Distinguished Flying Cross, the first awarding of the decoration made to RNZAF personnel.

Ok, now I declare the front panel DONE! I must say I personally like how it turned out, my own personal development goals were met :P But constructive criticism is always welcome. Now it's the controls, then side panels and the rest of the cockpit. I'd say I'm about 70% there now as far as the visual aspect is concerned. Here is a hi-res render for you all, it is only diffuse textures, ie all what you see is what you get.

Thanks flogger! I got sick of looking at the untextured bits and bobs, especially the background of the main panel. So i textured. I think this is the first picture that conveys the level of visual fidelity I want. And it is still not done, even the main panel.

Well, after taking some time off to spend actually playing The Witcher 2, as well as flying some good old Sf2, I decided i was inspired enough to start working again. Blackbird has given me access to an old MiG25 project including cockpit work, which has moved my project forward a lot. I have been working on cockpit dials today like crazy, and am seeing the light in the end of the tunnel. After the dials are done i can finally start working on the cockpit main panels, which will really bring this bird to it's right. then export testing. I'm gonna need help to make all these instrus working properly, but one problem at a time. Can't wait to blow some F-15s out of the sky
