Date and time setting, Multiskins and ETO seasonal terrains A multiskin plane-set was loaded and a single mission set up in the default ETO theatre It is the 11th of October (Autumn) and we should be over the target at 17:10 which is ten minutes before sun-set Spit IX multiskins and Autumn scenery: B-17 multiskins: Close to sun-set: 110 multiskins over the bombers: Re-set the month to January, and adjust the time based on the sun-set time which is 16:37: Neary sun-set and winter snow: Here come those 110s again: I really love those evening colours

In the works...

Not going to happen but re-instating multiplayer from SFP1 would be nice.

I would like more sound options like...start ups gradual winding up of engines ,better fly by option,proper input register for engine sounds...etc a bit like FS series..

really good profiles; just a pity the individual squadrons aren't named. (I did recognize a few insignia, like the sea bird for 101st FS, MASS ANG) EDIT: olppss! this dumb-ass just opened the jpgs and didn't bother readin the NAMES of them!! DOOOOUHHHH!!

Thanks Svetlin, that's very helpful. I'm taking a closer look at the low speed performance of the stock FM to see if there may be some potential for adjustments. The stock FM makes maximum lift at about 28deg AoA, the same as the AoA limit in the flight manual but the charts show the MiG-21 still making lift up to about 33deg AoA. The 28deg limit was quite conservative giving 5-8deg of protection prior to the stall/departure zone. There were large roll oscillations above 28 deg but the plane maintained pitch stability and American test pilots soon learned they could safely exceed the 28deg limit. Some anecdotal information indicates Soviet pilots were familiar with that capability as well. ThirdWire has the stall buffet starting at about 15deg AoA while the flight manual says the buffet zone starts at 16-18deg AoA range, so there may be some room to adjust the AlphaStall and AlphaMax values while maintaining the same lift slope as the TW original. I'm going to see if I can find some charts that might give a better idea of the instantaneous turn rates and deceleration rates as the stock FM seems a bit limited when doing hard turns at lower airspeeds. By all accounts the MiG-21 had a good instantaneous turn rate and very good pointing ability at lower airspeeds. It might just be a case of increasing the elevator range a bit but will have to find the right chart so I can run some tests. More translations might be required!

With regards to all my "Headhunter" compatriots, allow me to borrow a hallowed phrase...it seems to fit so well here: "You ain't been packed, till you been Wolfpacked"

I still prefer SF2 over any other similar game/sim because of the modding features. So practical to add, expand and fix objects and terrains, it is like a build you own flightsim toolkit with great stock items. Just wish some rudementary helicopter support was added before development stopped. This complete edition price is pretty good value IMHO. But the other individual prices should come down as well, these were actually raised about year ago. What surprises me a little is that, on his forum **, TK advised against merging SF2NA with the other games, and now he does just that. (** forum now gone.)

I agree that no nation is suicidal but some nations make better and more rational choices than others sometimes. Iran could very well push it too far in a miscalculation or they may think not pushing too far is a bigger risk. It's a crap shoot with them.By them i mean the government and religious leaders there. A lot of the Iranian people in a lot of ways have been hostages for decades.

6th June 1944 (the 75th Anniversary this year), D-Day: Typhoons from 243 Canadian Wing on the prowl for German vehicles behind Sword Beach, towards Caen

Some Su-24 Fencer action...

one day I was chasing Q-5...I was already very close, enough to see this... So I've made quick repaint. (very very quick). Due to mapping a few things still look aww... but at least some small improvement. I never had a desire to improve more - as it is usually on my radar screen. here => PLAAF_Silver-Green.rar if someone wants gimp xcf layers. let me know.
