The advantage is, that SF2 supports jpg files. So we can make tiles with a comparable resolution to FE. But the variability of the tiles is lower than in FE, of course. As an example a WIP tileset for South England in late summer. One tile has the size of 1024x1024 pixel which are comparable with 512x512 pixel tiles of FE terrains.

Finally the decals from allenjb42 came in, and decided to go for a faded look on the tails:

In the meantime it is possible to include satellite imagary in tiles.

The Seahawk..

So it is. A TOD editor would be a nice and urgently needed tool.

Wild Weasel & Rolling Thunder fame aside, this is the environment the Thud was designed for...... ........and managed to outrun the shock-wave

They are just regimental teams created out of the battalions listed above. The french combined different units into different GMs as the war went on. The Groupes Mobiles had 3 infantry battalions assigned; one Colonial infantry, the other two were N African/ Central African/Vietnamese. Unit was motorized with usually a squadron of armor. Also a battalion of artillery. The pure Vietnamese AVN units are noted.

I love FE, but have never modded it. I have been perfectly happy flying Camels, Dr.Is, D.VIIs, Spads, etc. But this post made me take a closer look at what is available. I remember a lot of the aircraft, but not the Gladiator. Well done!

One of the first matchbox model kits I ever made...bought on hols outta my pocket money lol

A few "Somewhere over New Dhimar" screenshots. Thanks to KJakker for resurrecting the thread with Mue's extended fade mod I actually tried it out this time and was really impressed! It adds a lot of visual depth to terrains and my old rig held up quite well over the coastal desert areas but noticeable frame rate hits when further inland over heavily treed areas. [over 1000 trees/buildings on some tiles] Ended up removing the mod to maintain frame rates during large fur balls but it was worth the look and it might get me computer shopping soon. The coastal desert area has been getting a major overhaul. All the farm tiles have been changed to orchards and moved into the mountain areas, with one exception. I never found the combination of desert and farm tiles very convincing on the stock terrain so I'm trying to get a drier desert look with some date palm plantations here and there and everything connected by roads. Will also be adding some building clusters along the roads and a few single tile walled towns in the flat areas along the main roads. Mue views, trees still showing color on the far side of the city: Over the Kerman Valley, the one desert area with farm/orchard tiles: The roads are getting some work but it's been a difficult process. The paved roads will be quite straight in the desert and high plains area but all the rest will have a more winding look. Just have to figure out how to do that! This has been a long slow project but once I get the coastal desert finished I'm going to work inland and fix all the other areas I'm not happy with while also doing some targeting. Definitely not "2 weeks". Maybe sometime in 2020 for version 1.

Managed to get this done, a VFA-143 CO jet, time unknown based on a few reference photos.

Snakes away!

Possible replacement for the Tonka.

Ka-50 and Mi-28 havoc Helicopters are heading on to provide close air support.

DACM..

Recon over South England (revision of Battle of Britain terrain, still WIP, thatswhy some old tiles to see in screenshot.)

just another sunny day.....

IRIAF Thunderstrike Mk.53's launching for a strike on Iraqi oil facilities, 1983 (The Thunderstrike Mk.53 is the export version of the RAF's standard Thunderstrike GR.3)

Virginia ANG off experiencing the English countryside and accompanying weather so this is a Thunder themed thread ......

Got the new Logitec Extreme 3D Pro installed and it works great! Compared to the old one I had which was probably just worn out, the new one has noticeably better precision, no on center "drifting" which was the main problem with the old one, plus the centering spring is much firmer. After all these years, it's still a good product.

Yeah watched series on tv here in uk about the canucks training really really good...women pilots are ace pilots too

If I can do it I know you can! I've destroyed both planes so many times it's not even funny. However I was watching this show called Jetstream and there's a segment where F-18 Students learn about aerial refueling. This is a neat little show honestly.

I just bought another one of these, to replace one which I have used heavily for about a decade. The old one finally wore out physically (wouldn't stay centered, so I was having to fly with full right rudder to go in a straight line). The new one is a smooth as silk, and a great piece of equipment. I have had other joysticks over the years, including a Suncom F15 and throttle (great stick and throttle, but I think the company went defunct) and a Thrustmaster which I didn't like much (the internal spring was way too stiff to move the stick easily in flight), but this Logitech stick is my joystick of choice.
