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.

Screenshots taken while testing out my little idea. Missiles are the 65Ds from Ravenclaw's great AGM-65 pack, the test plane A-7K by Mirage Factory. For the smoke effect, I borrowed from tiopiloto's Strela-2 MANPAD.. Several lines in the AGM-65D_data.ini had been changed: BoosterStart=0.000000 BoosterDuration=3.200000 BoosterAccel=10.017000 BoosterEffectName=S5 BoosterSoundName=Strela-2 BoosterNodeName= BoosterPosition=0.000000,-1.280000,0.000000 SustainerDuration=3.490000 SustainerAccel=2.170000 SustainerEffectName=S5 SustainerSoundName= SustainerPosition=0.000000,-1.280000,0.000000 This results in a nice smoke trail which disappear once the sustainer is burnout. Without the MissileInFlightEffect the Maverick flies clean towards target. You may or may not like it depends on personal thoughts. I find it a better gaming experience.

Bingo that fixed it. That is on a 34 in wide screen, all details set on balls out.... mucho grass in your asses for the help.

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

Hi Dave - hope you are well er Resolution or aspect ratio of the monitor? shirley this must be text editable somewhere am thinking

Kevin Digital Storm....my specs are below and that's a $4200 rig. I went a bit nuts. For $2200 Digital Storm will hook you right up.

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'.

Some more pics from my current Jasta 4 campaign. This is the stock Cambrai one, modified to add some additional planes eg Jasta 10 flies Pfalz D.IIIs (my own staffel probably should have at least some too, this being late November 1917, not sure if there is a way to get mixed formations). Also the Hannoverana replaces some DFWs in Schlastas, and the Bristol Fighter is now serving with at least one RFC squadron opposing us. There are of course Camels about, difficult targets but my flightmate (I will not use the later term wingman for WW1) managed to get this one. First flamer I have seen in a while, the impact was quite dramatic (likely I'm using an effects mod).

Great projects !!!

Been busy "downgrading" the data ini for Geezer's Halb. D.V into a D.III variant (since the model is newer than the D.III available from A-Team). Also further tweaking of the FM for the Caproni, and more work on the Longhorns and Shorthorns - will roll these eventually into a ver. 9.7 of the FM updates. Also incorporated three more winds into the environsys files for the Flight folder - should work well for sudden wind change/gusts and to compensate for lack of true turbulence in the FE2 engine. Happy flying and happy holidays fellow FE/FE2 flyers! Von S

thank you so much for this. all the hard work that went into this really shows.

Happy Holidays to all friends here!

Beautiful video, no words for the fantastic models.This simulator are in other level.I hope to build my new computer to fly with it. Thx to share the video :)

Nice Merry christmas to you (and all of us) :)

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

The F-35A sure can attack somewhat stealthily, but I wouldn't recommend taking it down low.

What if Germany would have bought MiG-29K instead of giving up Russia's debts.
