Hunter over the Shetlands. (Faroe Islands terrain WIP)

Adjusted the tints of the colors to simulate a vintage look. May fool around a bit more, but it is close to a balance between "accurate" color and atmospheric color.

Again, thx to Stephen1918! The Italians are preparing for flying boat patrols

It's been a while since I worked on the Caudron, and I forgot to delete two objects that should not have been part of the game LOD1. Below is new LOD1 that deletes the unwanted objects. On my rig, flying in FE2, the ventral gun does not display. 1-25-19 Caudron_R11.rar

Just made a quick model fix, I think it's better ;) sorry for adding a lot of photos.

Testing the last update... 20 ft AGL, an F-4 chasing in the background Met an SMB2 as well Finally back at home base Wingman shot down by the F-4s, but update checked ^^

Yes, one more thing Underground Air Base Bunker.

This is what I have completed for the AB, some of the models Ideas are from the net and the other from the Kuwaiti AB that I am working near.

Next walkaround ;-)

The Devil & The Lightning

I'm very excited that FE2 will get a Bleriot. I will most likely do two data ini mods for it - one to fit with the later, two-seater model (of about 80hp), and also one for earlier-war Bleriots that can also be flown as single-seaters with the observer removed from the plane (power range anywhere from about 50 to 70hp approx.). Should be entertaining trying to keep these models aloft. Von S

Thanks a lot Stephen1918 !!! Looking good

Lost some time for bump files, but I'm back to GR.1A ;-) Camera pod under nose left to do.

DCS: C-101 Aviojet and DCS: Christen Eagle II Release Reviews Since the successful release of the Christen Eagle II and the C-101CC, some great reviews have been created that discuss these great modules! DCS: Christen Eagle II Reviews: Purchase from the E-Shop. MagzTV Jabbers Crash Laobi 504smudge DCS: C-101 Reviews: Purchase from the E-Shop Mudspike 504smudge Spudknocker Rakuzard (German) We plan to release both the Christen Eagle II and the C-101 into Steam in February 2019. DCS World Update Early this week we released two Open Beta updates that included items like: Hornet: Laser-Maverick tracking range and laser code entry fixes Corrected VR projection to both eyes AIM-7 loft trajectory Updates to the Christen Eagle II and C-101 You can see the complete change logs here & here. Today we have moved the compilation of the past Open Betas into the Release version of DCS World. You can read the change log of this update here. DCS: Fw 190 A-8/F-8 Shrike Update Progress remains rapid on the Shrike with a release set for later this year. The Fw 190 A-8 will be an excellent counterpart to the Spitfire Mk.IX and provide a period-correct aircraft for the Normandy map. The F-8 version will provide the Luftwaffe a capable ground attack aircraft to match the upcoming P-47D and Mosquito. As you can see from the screenshots, a huge amount of detail is being put into this model that allows for spectacular battle damage results. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Not far away from completing, early series getting last touches to their pits only

While testing Faroer terrain. MiG-17K squadron strikes british carrier A couple of hits with S-24 rockets sunk the ship. Further bomb attacks on escort vessels were not realy successfull Thatswhy the strike group headed home to the own carrier Home again

The lack of a skin only reinforces the beauty of the model itself. Perhaps we should just accept the original glitch as a cigarette scorch-mark? That black patch was the original problem, wasn't it-otherwise I'm too blind to see it?

I know this is an answer to a different question, but varied reports seem to indicate that, unsurprisingly, Windows 10 is not as welcoming to certain older flight sims as Windows 7. BoBII and EAW are prime examples. On the other hand, it is more likely to be conducive to newer ones. The TK ones seem to be in the neutral camp.

The soviet serial numbers were always the same in all squadrons. Mostly 2 digit. Except the 13 (bad luck number). Very seldom 3 digit. If two or more squadrons were placed on the same airfield the colors of the numbers was different.

Really, when you flying the Blériot XI, in this airplane you have very little power so you have to be not overly generous with the control movement because you can get yourself into an awkward attitude of the airplane where you may not be able to recover. So everything in this airplane is done very slowly.

Yes it is. But I have nothing to share, since the game was ordinary and the extractor is ordinary. As Wrench said, file locking started after the 2012 patches. So, there were no blocking before the patches. And, as far as I know, for FE2 game I was talking about, new patches have not been released since the Jul 2010. That's all there is to it. As a rule, if there are not enough words, screenshots help a lot to explain. However, the picture has already become so clear that it seems impossible to realize your plans for the crosshair. And I, too, was not so wrong when I said that the problem was in the game engine. The game considers that the aiming point should be somewhere in the middle. Therefore, even if you make a LOD file with a sight on the side of the cockpit, when you press the F3 key (GOTO_COCKPIT_GUNSIGHT_VIEW), you'll still look forward, rather than move to the side.

Attached is an updated Sea Gladiator FM. This includes some updates that were made to the Gladiator Mk1. One of the new things is a fixed pitch propeller advance table that I've been testing. It gives more realistic take off acceleration and presumably more realistic climb rates but I haven't checked that. Someone who knows told me the game over models propeller thrust at low speeds so I really don't pay much attention to climb rates. Hopefully, careful attention to engine tables and drag values make the prop FM's OK in a relative sense. The prop advance tables I included with the CR-32 and Gladiator Mk1 have a mistake so you may want to copy and paste the one from the Sea Gladiator. Here's what I'm talking about, in the engine section: PropEfficiencyAdvanceRatioTableNumData=17 PropEfficiencyAdvanceRatioTableDeltaX=0.1 PropEfficiencyAdvanceRatioTableStartX=0.0 PropEfficiencyAdvanceRatioTableData=0.041,0.183,0.348,0.468,0.554,0.616,0.684,0.742,0.763,0.781,0.797,0.870,0.870,0.870,0.702,0.457,0.000 Here's the updated Sea Gladiator FM: Sea_Gladiator_DATA0.95.zip Also, a link to a "no catapult take off" mod I did for the HMS Eagle: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/88913-hms-eagle-free-take-off-mod/?tab=comments#comment-718143

Thanks. The will be two or three versions, depending on the rifle armed observer working out. The Lewis gun armed version is certain, though it will have a limited field of fire. Then, there will be an unarmed version for use very early in the war.

ok, let's settle this... Not to belittle the FE2 community (of which you all have my greatest respects), it is so small, TK didn't/hasn't bothered with patchs/updates/upgrades since 2010-ish. The last patch for 1stGens (SF/WoV,WoE) was 2008. I'm not counting the WoI upgrade/dlc/whatever that added a few aircraft and almost brought ONLY that game to the initial release level of SF2. SF2 has had (more than) 2 patches since then; one of those (2012 or 2013) moved ALL lods from every cat file in the game -including the terrain cats- to ObjectData002.cat. And locked them up. Simply to remove the possibillity of sharing (piracy). Mue's lod viewer only gives us the ability to "look at" the lod and it's textures. One dosen't need to extract anything to use it. As others have said, it's main purpose is to obtain mesh and texture names. As to all this nonsense of 'moving the gunsight reticle', it's fixed in place; it's hardcoded. You think the experts haven't tried over the last 15 years? The only things you can do with it, are move it down via the Depression Angles, or have it partly track via Lead Computing = TRUE, and change it's color by repainting the tga. The utter lack of clarity on what is actually trying to be accomplished here by the OP is astounding. Just simply state WHAT the hell you're trying to do, and perhaps someone will then chime in with the correct answer, if it's doable at all.

Got the flying surfaces mapped, and started tweaking the colors. The museum shots of the Italian Bleriot show colors that have darkened over the years - particularly the fabric - so I'm working on colors that are lighter.

Both you and Stephen1918 are to be commended for your excellent work!

The Demon is well named...especially on approach to the carrier. It wasn't pretty, but any landing you can walk away from...

Accidentally made this shot while testing pilot cigarette smoke. I particularly like the morning and evening atmospherics in FE2. Von S
