The Top Gear helicopter of clumsiness Inspired by these old BBC Top Gear episode:

Merry Christmas .

This sim never ceases to surprise me. I have never before been able to make a two-point landing, but here it is, a Bf-110C with one main wheel shot off, in North Africa:

Thank You Dels !

And Merry Christmas! mandatory:

Okay, we need some ordinance here. Santa should drop gift packages to the troops below. Happy Holidays, to one and all at CombatAce.

proper barracks (or dorms on USAF bases) and office buildings would be awesome for all current airbases, rather than the rows of quoanset hut wannabes currently in game. I n my own experience Bragg (except for 19th Replacement in the late 90s), Pope, Schweinfurt, Frankfurt, Bliss, Benning, Lee all look very different than rows of huts. for that matter, Kandahar and Bagram were more like construction site trailers than curved huts. even rows of other buildings would make the airbase eyecandy massively pop. and that is an awesome amount of detail for the inside of a control tower!

Caporetto is my Christmas present and gterl is my Santa. Works beautifully on my laptop FE2. My holiday break will be spent sightseeing. Thanks for you time and effort.

I have edited Missioncontrol.ini to increase the default mission heights, so now often get some at 10,000 feet, like this one escorting AEG G-types. The weather is about 8/10ths cloud as you can see. With the November sun low on the horizon, FE2's lighting effects can be rather beautiful, and winter version of the stock terrain, though lacking railway lines, is still pleasing to my eye.

Oh my goshhhh!!!! Oh my gosh...... It means you will use Windows 10 now? Oh boy... You will past this way alone without any help i think and it will be full of sorrow and pain. I can only send you a hug to support you a little. Sorry for offtop. 2200$ ? Enough for any adequate machine. i play on Intel Core i7 7700HQ Kaby Lake, RAM 8 GB DDR4 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5 and it was price about 900$. I can plays on this machine Tomb Rader, Falout 4 Far Cry Primal etc. on High Graphics without troubles. But if you like to play Tank Platoon 2, Armored Fist 2, Comanche 4, DID EF2000, DID F-22 on Windows 10 it is a pain... i Use DOS BOX for it and PCEMv14. It works on Windows 10, DOS BOX i mean. SF2 works on Windows 10

thank you for all the xmas gifts you have given us the year round.

A few days ago, to my delight, I learned denissoliveira (great thanks to him for this marvelous aircraft) had released a Super Tucano and naturally, I had to try it out. Just a routine reconaissance mission, but four old Fishbeds had other plans for us... Flamenco guitars start playing Thank goodness for all-aspect Sidewinders.

I have a lot of different things that I would like to create, but right now I'm gathering information and references for these; - A new airport - Hangers - Control Towers (almost done) - Airport radar - Airport maintenance buildings - Air raid shelters - Various apartments and random urban buildings for filler That's what I currently am trying to get through.

I took a JF-17 out for a spin to see what it's like at the opposing end...

It was the 2007 when i made my first model (the G.91) for the TW series; i thought it's time to revamp a bit this little hooligan .

I first posted this two years ago and I'm re-gifting this to all of you this year. A completely flyable Santa Claus for FE (both FE1 and FE2,) including a cockpit view. He's probably the most well known pilot of all time, but never shot down another plane. He may wear different uniforms and be known by many names but he is always remembered for his message of peace and goodwill. Installation Instructions Download and open the attached Zip file (below). Put the folder named "Santa" into your First Eagles "Aircraft" folder. Notes: Start in the air - Santa does not take off and land very well, (too many hooves) so it is best to begin your mission in the air. Easy mode only - I didn't spend a lot of time on the FM. The center of gravity is too close to the back, so he doesn't fly well in "Normal" or "Hard" modes. Extra aircraft - By default, First Eagles assigns two planes to a recon flight. You can remove one of them in the Loadout screen. Avoid AA - He's neutral and unarmed, but ground-based AA will still open fire when he gets close. Remember to set the mission date to a Winter month. Now, go spread some Holiday Cheer. SantaForFE.zip

good info to know. next second monitor ( i run off laptops) is likely gonna be a 32 to 42 in TV so a lil different than the current 17 in screen or 24 in monitor. Hi Skipper, an Merry Christmas to ya and your family

Hey Dave. I got a 34" a few months ago and did the same. Was too cheap to get a curved one, but I'm really liking it none the less.

2560x1080 is my resolution and I am sure it is text editable and don't call me Shirley......

Hasn't really affected me as much. Pro does have a lot more flexibility and access to GP. You can use O & O Shutup 10 for privacy and updates https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 - Enterprise/Home /Pro are essentially the same OS really :) Good bit of kit and free but use at own risk - do not recommend stopping updates personally you can also roll back still if you need to without this.

The next mission, on 30 November, was uneventful until we came across a couple of Camels in a fight with some Pfalz. I somehow got my aircraft identification mixed up and had a long-range rattle at one of the latter whom I thought was an Englishman shooting at one of my Albatrosses, not the Camel both were chasing. Happily I missed, the Camel went down minus the outer portion of his upper mainplane. The Pfalz then climbed up to the west towards the cloudbase, reforming as they went. I could see no signs of other enemy aircraft and after calling my own flight to heel, I led us home. With nearly half my staffel killed or prisoners, my offensive spirit is clearly at a low ebb. This is where I find that FE's squadron management feature gives the player a much keener sense of what it was like to fly in the attritional air war of WW1 than any other such sim I have 'flown'.

Beautiful terrain. Thank you!

Great projects !!!

DCS 2018 and Beyond on Facebook DCS: P-51D Mustang and World War II Update We are pleased to update our first Warbird for DCS World, the Mustang! This week’s update includes both a complete overhaul of the cockpit to include deferred shading and physical based rendering technology, as well as a more detailed 3D model and textures. In addition to a huge update to the cockpit, we have also greatly improved the external model and added the option to fly the P-51D-25-NA version. This was the most common P-51D for the European Theater of Operations (ETO) with its primary difference being its radio and IFF systems. This is most visible by the dorsal antenna. As notes in prervious newsletters, both the Bf 109 K-4 and Fw 190 D-9 have also gotten outstanding improvements to their cockpits and external models to bring it to DCS World 2.5 standards. With the huge updates to the P-51D, Fw 190 D-9, and Bf 109 K04, and all the time and resources invested, the price of each warbird will return to $49.99; however, all three aircraft will take part in our Winter 2018 sale. These are free updates to existing owners. DCS: P-51D Mustang DCS: Spitfire LF Mk.IX DCS: Bf 109 K-4 DCS: Fw 190 D-9 These are free updates to existing owners.

Of these, we are already at work making the P-47D, Fw 190 A-8 and Mosquito flyable. In parallel, the new damage model system is now being applied to all our warbirds. We also have a new and exciting World War II map in development.

It follows the 352nd Fighter Group from May 1944 through the Normandy landings until Operation Bodenplatte in January 1945. This campaign has a plethora of details and Easter eggs to make you feel like a young American flyboy in the Army Air Forces in 1944. Key Features: 14 semi-historical missions focusing on the 352nd Fighter Group A detailed background story, mission contexts, checklists and encounter reports Detailed briefings and briefing images, including separate PDF mission files Unique kneeboard graphics and checklists for each mission Hundreds of specially recorded voice-over messages and radio broadcasts Historically accurate custom skins A wide array of missions including fighter sweep, bomber escort, armed reconnaissance and ground attack DCS: C-101 by AvioDev Update This week, AvioDev is proud to make available the Enhanced Flight Model (EFM) for their C-101EB version and launch the more-weaponized C-101CC version. Purchase from DCS e-shop DCS: C-101 Aviojet module includes both the C-101EB and C-101CC models. The C-101EB model is the primary jet trainer and aerobatic display aircraft of the Spanish Air Force, whilst the C-101CC model, with its 7 hard-points and uprated engine, is a versatile light attack aircraft that has seen combat with the Honduras Air Force against drug traffickers.

Not a particular list of objects...but for example over-the-horizon radar Duga, EW radar Voronezh etc..surveillance radars like Nebo family or Vostok... (not to mention factories, shipyards etc...) a lot of targets to put in a game... We can't have a lot of desired things in this game, but we can still have a lot of other eye-candy things.

good... good that someone is working also on some small stuff. Ever considered doing some models of real military EW / Fire control radars, equipment etc ?

View File RAAF Pilatus PC-21 for SF2 Ver This is my Pilatus PC-21 in RAAF service. Photoshop templates are included in the aircraft folder. It uses my AT-6B cockpit but I am working on a PC-21 cockpit and will release it along with some other minor changes later. Please read the readme file (included) for installation instructions. Let me know if you find any issues and I will fix them for the update. Dels Submitter Dels Submitted 05/13/2018 Category Other  

G'Day all, Just uploaded an update which now includes the PC-21 cockpit (screenshots below). Should be available soon (once it's approved). Read the readme.txt for installation notes and known issues. Dels

Nah, just correct cockpit for Desert Storm and GR.1B planes ;-) I like more previous version with Elettronica RWR which will be cockpit for batch2 planes with Mk.101 engines and Italian IDS up to DS. Only German RWR left to cover early planes, rest is just nighmare ;-)

It has been confirmed for awhile. Belsimtek's F-4 was bumped to the back of the bus to focus on ED's preference for the F-16. For my entire PC/internet life, F4 has meant a hardcore sim for the the F-16. Belsimtek reveals screenshots of an F-4E that is pretty much exactly what I have wanted all these years, and its development is stopped to make way for another F-16. If it wasn't for TK/Third Wire, I would have been stuck playing Jane's Fighters Anthology and Jane's USAF up to now to be able to enjoy the F-4 in a realistic combat environment. Cheers to TK for keeping me entertained for a decade before DCS World started on the path of my ideal sim: a hardcore F-4/MiG-21 air combat study simulator. DCS World has actually bettered my vision by simultaneously providing both a survey sim and study sim of almost the entire flyable aircraft library with some of the most famous historical air-to-air matchups of all time. I would greatly appreciate it if they could just the the F-4 done before I die.
