Has someone the FW-187 Falke as WIP? Much faster and much more agile than the Bf-110 it could have been the game changer in the Battle of Britain. Some planes were built. (Less than 10) A fistfull was used in Norway and the Luftwaffe crews preferred the Falke to the Bf-110. Göring was not amused, he preferred the Messerschmitt and ordered to phase out the Falke. The planes were then used in a "private" squadron of the Focke-Wulf company to defend the Focke-Wulf plant.

one of the most missed things, when I came over from Fighters Anthology in 2003, was that nice descriptive briefing. Was a great way to tell the story

Nope, you can't. But you can provide a PDF or equivalent text file with your upload, so users can read the briefing before starting the game and playing a given mission.

"Leads The Field"

other than the model was Marcello's (Marcfighters) and he'd pulled it, and didn't want it released a long time ago. I should know, I released it and got a ration of shit about it. But... as he has long left since the community, it is considered "abaondon ware" . Fix it up and release it. The Admins say it "ok"

What I can say... very immersive!!!!!

I did the same thing to get it back to normal. The 419.17 driver works if you keep graphics detail level settings to high, but won't allow unlimited settings. EDIT: SF1 works with unlimited settings with these drivers.

CAUTION !!!! -------------------- Base LOD is using specular maps. They can really drop fps on slower GPUs [like my GTX 460 ;-)]. If you have this problem, there is archive of LOD without them in plane folder called : xxx faster_no_specular_LOD Unpack and use this one. CAUTION 2: ------------------- 3 aircrafts in this pack: - RAF GR.1 batch 2 with mk.101 engines - later RAF GR.1 with Mk.103 engines - Saudi GR.1 Keys: -------- SHIFT+1 -> canopy open SHIFT+2 -> fuel probe SHIFT+3 -> weapon operator cockpit So, the most important part ...

Operation Granby.

(All together now) Let it go. Let it go-oh.

You can try this in your bomber's Cockpit.ini and Avionics.ini files respectively.

Bantam Bomber

just another update, even tho I am at vacation couldn't stop the temptation of completing this one. the soldier is free to download from the net but I had to do the rigging to the model

SONO TORNATO! Odio lasciare le cose in sospeso. non credevate mica che avrei lasciato perdere, vero? Ecco un po' di aggiornamenti; Il terreno ha ricevuto obiettivi aggiuntivi. Dall'ultima volta che ho postato, sono stati aggiunti aeroporti, installazioni Radar e SAM in Ungheria, Austria, Grecia, Svizzera (neutrale, giusto per eye-candy) e persino in una piccola parte della Romania! Alcuni target sono troppo vicini se non oltre il famoso Muro, quindi nel caso li disattiverò per non causare bug di gameplay. Inoltre, sempre pur considerando i limiti del motore grafico, ho riprodotto assai fedelmente i percorsi dei numerosi fiumi nell'Est Europa, cosa che avevo già fatto per la Pianura Padana e il resto dell'Italia. Mettete a confronto la seguente mappa e l'estratto bitmap delle texture del terreno; noterete anche la presenza del noto lago Balaton in Ungheria. Anche altri laghi sono riprodotti, ovviamente!
