the RF-5A nose is in work and the basic shape is done , the problem here is that this part is not as easy as the drop tanks and that modding is no longer my first prioity , firts is real life and my grandson , second is modding , so be patient i will make that recce-nose but not in 1 week work i still have to finish - Mirage F1 ecm and recce pods - F-5A recce nose - Tornado (guuruu) Brimstone and Brimstone tripple launcher - Spitfire Mk IX ( for Wrench ) - F-4G series and Cockpits Weapon Pack 3 RF-8 and Cockpit this short list are only the most important items there are still many more that needs to be worked on , the Weapons pack 3 is already split in to 2 parts , Bombs / Missiles / etc. and Rocket pods and Rockets there are still so many items for each pack that i have to finish

This will add to a long line of additions and modifications that Volker has added/made to the model including .. ..a full set of specific weapons (HAF specific also) ..corrected landing gear animations ..re-constructed and refined canopy mechanism and animation (this was hard..) ..corrected, re-constructed tail-hook mechanism and animation ..corrected dive brake animation ..addition of braking (drag)parachute ..multitude of adjustments to the cockpit to get additional switches/functions operational ..currently working on totally scratch built RF-5a nose (I'd given up on this in frustration .. it's that hard!!) .. lots of love, encouragement and a lot of patience.. and I've probably forgotten to mention half a dozen other things, so hat's off to the man!

One and Done.

Tora! Tora! Tora!

that is exactly what we are doing (if possible) , i send all the F-5A or RF-5A items to sophocles and he will integrate this item to his model

1952... Vampire in action ! From the Paulo Vampire FB.5 pack mod...

Beautiful - Thank you Torno!

works in the WGr.21 of the A8 (it's not a very useful weapon in the simulator)

Thanks Torno !

I picked this book recently, that's why I'm so excited!

You mean this one?? (may have to fix the national markings)

some more , this time they are for the NF-5A

In the northern icy environment.

NKorea Migs...

And just a few more representative pics for this thread - currently tweaking the A-Team Polikarpov (I-16, type 24) into an earlier "type 10" used on occasion by the Republic of China - should be good for late 1930s scenarios using the China and Taiwan maps - will also include real engine sounds with the FM pack whenever possible...the Polikarpov rattle is great fun while flying. SF2 is an unexplored goldmine of WW2 possibilities...never liked any of the WW2 flight sims until I picked up SF2...great stuff gents'. For those wondering about how I get the crisp terrain graphics in the pics, especially at altitude, grab the "ATISetLod" app (if you have an ATI card, for non-ATI there are probably easier ways to set the lod) at the following link (https://community.hwbot.org/topic/137720-benchmark-tweak-software/) and set the LOD bias entry to a value of "-1" while in administrator mode, and save settings (I'm running such a value and have noticed crisper terrains in FE2, SF2, also WOFF and ROF).

I've been updating Heberth's Raptor mod with new skins, loadouts, sounds, etc. The model had been released in alpha stage here: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/66398-wip-mega-thread/?page=3&tab=comments#comment-645422 The aircraft's 3d model is very fine. I also added all released updates shared at the WIP thread, including russouk2004's new normal maps. However, the 3d model misses external pylons! Heberth said he would have released the .max files, but only Modders have access to the Modders Round Table. I would need the help of a 3d modeler to create those, either completing Heberth's shared .max files, or by creating the pylons separately, to be added via Fake Pilot method or as weapons. An FM guru would also be needed; it seems thrust vectoring is modelled, but the animations won't work on the engine nozzles. Here below some screenshots of the work I've done; I added reworked decals from viper63a's Raptor pack (the one using the old, lower poly model by Dels), and I created a fictional YF-22 paint scheme for it.

This is the Zastava M55 for Yugoslav People's Army I will have 3 skins to go with it. need more work but it's coming nice I think.

That's what it is! Thank you! @trotski00 That's an interesting plane.

Changes have been applied to all aircraft. In the data.ini of the Mirage IIIOA, on which the Mirage IIIEG is based on, both the supersonic tanks and the RPKs had the entry of"NoJettisionTank=TRUE" included. I removed it and now it works. Just saw an error on the Norm 72 Camo of the Mirage IIIEG. When its fixed, I'll upload it.

Just completed the Zastava M55 single 20mm

More progress shots....the A-Team A5M4 data ini converted to an A5M1 for early-war PTO scenarios, and a rare high-alt Me109 E7-N (conversion of the A-Team E8), a small no. of which apparently were Japanese flown...should also be good for 1941 scenarios at least. Also tweaked is the Yak-1b (downtuned to the 1a, first batch of Yaks)...I think I got hit by shrapnel from the second fellow since my engine conked out...oh well, was able to dead stick it successfully. Now onto the Curtiss P-40 and other types. Happy flying, Von S

Work in progress

Working on it ;) hunting for a free 3d model

this week I share the fw 190 A 4 2.0 with some improvements requested, unfortunately the cockpit is not my strong so some indicators do not work properly. this new model will have the effect of fire leaks, the segmented fuselage and some subtle improvements in the 3d model

A F-17 Cobra would be a nice What if plane in SF2 world.

Cross Deck Operations, 1951

Spitfires en route to intercept Mosquitoes as part of the RAF's re-enactment of the Amiens Raid at the 1950 Farnborough Display Note the two 'bubbletops'

back to the F-5A , the excellent aircraft model is getting some new 150 gallon drop tanks

okee dokee... wont be for while as ive still to finish the pak fa...not far off now...and a suprise...then will finish this....needs some work as it was given to me by a moddeler and im converting it. plus a few other goodies.

Flogger in the sky...

I like it ! Screenshot needed

Saturday morning missile fire.

Having a lot of fun hunting trucks in the new Blohm & Voss BV-141. This is one very weird-looking aircraft, and it is not a dogfighter, but if you keep really low (under 200 feet) the enemy fighters will have trouble targeting you, and you can do a lot of damage to the vehicles.

First time whacking something since 2018.

An easter egg from the Mirage F1 Team is waiting for you in the download section

Being newly retired gives me time to appreciate the spectacular work all the modders put into this. Who knew flying a transport could be so much fun???? This plane is SO good looking!!!

"Taproom 305"

Actually, the pit was a mistake. There was never our intention to use that pit - I forgot to take that extra look because I rushed the release :D Currently busy looking into alternatives as well as finding a suitable pit for the Viggen Pack so we can get that one out the door. Also because I like having fun with some older stuff...

On Target!!!

New screesnhot thread is tempting and it's been a while anyway....so here's a contribution...
