For something to come...

Is the Mach loop on the Photo Real British Isles terrain? Can you point it out on the planning map please? Got a student in a Hawk at RAF Valley raring for a run through.....

@allen, the loop and a series of deep valleys can be accessed by flying across the straight to the mainland, follow the road into the first valley then go exploring to find the others...

Just play and Landing ......Trial's...........with Fubar512....secret weapon....underwater....

"How much trouble can you REALLY get into in a Fiat?

Additional gun sounds and the latest engine sounds can be found in my FM update pack folders (see the big ver. 9.5 folder, also the smaller ver. 9.7 folder in that pack). As well, double-check that you are using the latest soundlist.ini file in your Flight folder (I have included my latest one in the ver. 9.7 Flight folder). Any sounds that are missing from my packs should be available on CombatAce over at this link: https://combatace.com/files/file/13385-realistic-engine-sounds/ And this other link offers a comparison of sound names from the CombatAce pack, above, and names I use in my FM update packs: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/87403-tweaked-flight-models-and-realism-pack-for-fe2/?page=5&tab=comments#comment-727507 Names of sounds in the data inis from my FM pack match the soundlist.ini file included in the pack, and also match the names located in the comparison chart above. If you want to use your own sound files, you will have to change the name in the "EngineSoundName" entry of the data inis. Happy flying, Von S

'Operation Enduring Freedom' 2002. VMA-223 ‘Det A’, 26th MEU-SOC HMM-365, USS Bataan.

Another AD...this one a UA-1E Skyraider of VAW-33 around 1963...back in the days when color mattered.

I'm now working on bringing these to FAB aircraft into the SF2-verse, and require some help. I have a listing of the FAB serials (4462-4627), but need to know where the 'break' is for the 2 versions. Also, trying to figure out WHAT gun and how much ammo is carried in the (unfortunately) built-into-the-LOD under wing gunpods on the AT-26 Xivante (2 seater). any and all assistance will be GREATLY appriciated!! Links to websites, books, magazine articles, etc! Many thanks in advance!

Von S, thank you and have pity on my stupidity. I neglected to put the new soundlist.ini in the Flight folder, messing everything up and quite spectacularly. How do you stay so patient with the likes of me!?

In plans, but not so fast. they are really different planes.

Another script I found to Merge Selected faces into one by removing the inner edges. Created by Miauu. Download

This is one of the nice scripts that I use with my 3d max created by Andreas Meissner This tool can help you to clean and speed up your scene. Hover with your cursor over the clean-buttons to see tooltips for further information. Additional Info: Installation: Drag and drop the file "install macro.ms" into your scene You can create a toolbar button by using the macro under Customize > Category: "# Scripts" > Cleaner Tips: If you look inside the folder .../Cleaner/clean/deactivated/... you can find further functions. To use them you need to move them into the folder .../Cleaner/clean/... Before cleaning duplicate objects, you should select and isolate these objects to check if they are really duplicates! The "Texture Filtering" will speed up your rendering cause textures like leaves, flowers, and ivys will be set to filtering: none, but this will change the look of your rendering, use with care!

Modern Air Combat by Eagle Dynamics Coming this Autumn! Developed by the same studio that brought you the wildly successful Lock On, Modern Air Combat (MAC) brings you one game with 14 unique combat aircraft to own the sky! MAC aircraft include: F-15C Eagle. US air superiority fighter with 104 kills to 0 losses record. Su-27 Flanker B. Russia's dominate heavy air superiority fighter. Su-33 Flanker D. The Russian navy's carrier capable version of the Flanker B. J-11 Flanker B+. The Chinese version of the Flanker B, with R77 active homing missiles. MiG-29 Fulcrum A. Russia's widely exported light air superiority fighter. MiG-29S Fulcrum C. The modernised version of the Fulcrum with latest weapons and defences. A-10A Warthog. The USAF's massively successful 'flying tank', designed to kill ground targets. Su-25A Frogfoot. Russia's primary ground attack and close air support jet. Su-25T Frogfoot. A modernised version of the Frogfoot with enhanced sensors and weapons. F-86F Sabre. America's iconic top fighter during the Korean War. MiG-15bis Fagot. Russia's 1st generation jet fighter that opposed the Sabre over Korea. F-5E Tiger II. The US light-weight fighter that has been operational since the Vietnam War and operated by over 30 countries. MiG-21bis Fishbed. Russia's most successful fighter of the Vietnam war. A supersonic fighter that closely matches the Tiger II. L-39ZA. A Czech designed, two seat trainer that was then adapted to a light attack aircraft. Each aircraft's flight model, sounds, external model and cockpit is recreated to an exceptional level of detail and accuracy. Great care has been given to offer scalable gameplay that suits your personal levels and wishes. This includes intuitive and consistent keyboard controls between aircraft, selectable difficulty settings, option for more forgiving flight dynamics, and even the ability to fly these aircraft with just your keyboard. As with Lock On and the Flaming Cliffs series, MAC is focused on east and west counterpart aircraft, and this includes such legendary match-ups such as the Eagle and Flanker, Warthog and Frogfoot, Sabre and MiG-15bis, and the F-5E and MiG-21bis. MAC is a blend of both east and west, and this allows you to re-fight historical conflicts from the Korean War to today, and to create your own "what-if" missions. You can generate an unlimited number of missions using the Fast Mission Creator and Mission Editor. MAC also includes numerous instant action and single missions, as well as campaigns for most of the aircraft and is fully compatible with DCS World online! There are no limits to content. In addition to the full Caucasus map, MAC also includes a limited part of our Nevada and Persian Gulf maps. Key Features of MAC: 14 exceptional combat aircraft from the United States, Russia, China and Czech Republic. Shallow learning curve with consistent key controls between aircraft, and easy to fly with just a keyboard. Professional level flight models, but with option for forgiving flight dynamics. Play instant action, single missions and campaigns for most aircraft in single player or fly online. Supports Virtual Reality like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality. Includes the Caucasus map and portions of Nevada and the Persian Gulf. Purchase MAC aircraft individually or as a pack at a reduced price. Flaming Cliffs 3 owners can purchase the MAC pack at a great discount. DCS World 2.5 Update This week we merged the current DCS World 2.5 Open Beta to the DCS World 2.5 Release version. Next week, 18 July, we plan the next DCS World update to include many fixes and improvements to the Hornet, DCS World 2.5, the Persian Gulf Map, and other modules. DCS World Dedicated Server Update With the launch of 2.5 earlier this year, we have been working diligently on an item we've been wanting to bring to DCS World for quite a long time: a dedicated server. It however was not until the launch of DCS World 2.5 was this possible, and hence the length of time this has taken. As a dedicated server, the software will not require any graphics rendering, so no dedicated graphics card will be required and there is no audio requirement. This all greatly reduced server load overhead. There will be a new web GUI to control the server. Operation of the dedicated server through the web GUI will operate much as the existing online server does now, but allow you to make changes remotely. We plan to release the dedicated server in Autumn 2018. Afterward, we will investigate adding additional features to expand its capability. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Found this http://www.spotter.com.br/esquadroes/esquadroes_fab.htm don´t know if it has the Xavante, but it´s a terrific source of FAB photos.

If you want some gun pods and remove the ones in th lod with the ini dance can do Ive started dabbling to try remember what to do lol...forgot half of 3ds max keys lol

Superior Polish engineering! Actually, it turned out I was using an older beta of the P.11c LOD. Here is the actual P.11c, with wing braces all present and correct:

AT-26A number list : FAB 4630 a 4643 ? http://www.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/FAB/br/at-26a.html "Designados como AT-26A pela FAB, e matriculados como FAB 4630 a 4643, os primeiros Impala Mk 2 foram entregues em março de 2006 ao 1º/4º Grupo de Aviação, sediado na Base Aérea de Natal."

What I have so far...even if I can't read all of it https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~otranto/military/fab/impala.htm And here...which I can read https://www.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/FAB/en/at-26.html

I dunno...I might have to soften my dislike of the AI in CloD. Just a bit, since it shows occasional signs of being able to fight as well as fly, though sometimes, in the same mission, it seems to be able to do neither. Next mission in the RAF redux campaign is a transit flight from Hawkinge to Manston to join my new squadron and swap my Hurricane for a Spitfire. The chap who is supposed to come with me appears reluctant to take off. While an incoming section from my old squadron loses a machine which crashes near Hawkinge, for no apparent reason. Perhaps my companion was wise to stay on the ground. I carry on alone after a few circuits, and my companion eventually shows up. We run into some scripted bandits - just a couple of 109s, apparently - and in the ensuing tussle I get one, but another crashes. Not to be outdone, my companion, whom he was chasing, crashes too. Who made up the other losses, I have no idea. I actually manage to shoot down a 109. They have an odd way of flying when chased, constantly adjusting their bank angle with what seems excessive ease, which if nothing else makes them a more difficult target. Perhaps the reason you do not see anything like that in real gun camera footage is because the ones that didn't do that are the ones that didn't get shot down. Though the laws of aerodynamics may have more to do with the apparent absence of the odd banking behaviour. Soon afterwards, I run into a couple of Messerschmitt 110s. I nail one of these, too. Their evasive moves seem more realistic, with little or none of the continual changes of bank angle that 109s exhibit. Here's my victim just as he bites the dust. I then have a go at this 110's wingman... ...but predictably, I run out of ammo. I find it takes a while to 'get your eye in' with the gunnery any new sim you play, and it doesn't help much if you're jumping between at least two (CloD and BoB2, in my case). I confess that my shooting in CloD is pretty dire at the moment, for which this fellow was doubtless grateful. I then decide to resume my transit flight and head for the deck while throwing in a few changes of course. This is where I learn the hard way not to write off the CloD air-to-air AI. The next thing I know, there's this 'whomp-whomp-whomp' sound - apart from some of the R/T calls, sound is one of CloD's strengths - and tracers and their smoke trails are whizzing overhead past my canopy. My effort to get out of the way fails miserably. The only results are a missing wingtip... ...and a dead pilot. Here's the beggar who got me and avenged his comrade. The thin trail of fuel or Glycol shows that I did him some damage before I ran out of rounds. There were several other 110s in the air... ...as well as these Wimpeys, which although apparently over friendly territory, were taking a bit of a chance beettling about over southern England in daylight at this point in the war. As in the Battle of Heligoland Bight in '39, the 109s and 110s would have probably had them for breakfast. Happily, I see that you can re-fly failed missions such as this, and that's what I'll be doing. I'm still very disappointed that the obvious effort that has been put into CloD by the original developers and later helping hands has left so very many rough edges. Had all the included features worked well, or even adequately, Cliffs of Dover could have been the contender for sim greatness that some of its adherents rather blithely claim. But in anything like its current form, it lags very far behind Battle of Britain II as an effective and convincing simulation of flying air combat in the Battle of Britain. Still, CloD has enough redeeming qualities to keep its place on my hard drive.

I was mistaken about this; the A-6A already has an internal chaff dispenser and the A-6E has internal chaff, flares and ECM. I was actually thinking of the 66 Thud, which I'd read could take both chaff and flares via a hardpoint dispenser by the early 70's. I was doing a what-if of the RCAF in the North Atlantic, where the procurement team weren't theoretically as bone headed/cheap and selected the Thud over the F-104 Starfighter. I used Sundowner's "The Other CF-105" mod. It was a mission of Thuds out of Keflavik to attack a USSR ship, where all my wingmen got shot down. Anyhow, good thing it got me investigating the DATA.INIs, because now my RCAF 66 Thuds have counter measures. :)

Lockheed F-104C Starfighter - 'Getti Tonanti', 5th Aerobrigata, Aeronautica Militare, 1960 Entering service in February 1958 with the 83rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Hamilton AFB, California the F-104A interceptor served only briefly with the USAF Air Defense Command but this was soon followed by the multi-role F-104C which entered service with USAF Tactical Air Command in September 1958 when the 479th Tactical Fighter Wing at George AFB, California began to re-equip with the type. Despite setting a new world altitude record of 103,395 ft (31,515 m) just a few months later in December 1958 the USAF sharply reduced their orders for the F-104 leading Lockheed to urgently seek export orders and they soon gained an export order from the Italian Government in January 1960 for 40 F-104C's for the Aeronautica Militare. With Italy hosting the Olympic Games in the late summer of 1960, the Italian President Giovanni Gronchi personally asked the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower for the earliest possible delivery date as he wanted to use the F-104C's as part of the opening ceremony. Not only did 'Ike' graciously agree but he also authorised the immediate transfer of 10 F-104C's from USAF stocks which were airlifted to Europe during February and March being reassembled at Ramstein Air Base before being flown to Villafranca Air Base by USAF pilots and officially handed over to the 5th Aerobrigata of the Aeronautica Militare. The F-104C's replaced the F-84F Thunderstreaks of the 'Getti Tonanti' aerobatic display team and this elite unit performed a sensational display at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games of the XVII Olympiad held in Rome from August 25th to September 11th, 1960.

delete the mods folder, NOT the exe!! (unless you used an exe other than the NA one) When you (re)start your ODS.exe, it'll rebuild a new mods folder. Then, you all the ODS stuff from you downloaded. Since they're carriers involved, I'd HIGHLY recomend building it from the SF2:NA executable. Better carrier coding in that exe
