Maybe this has been posted before, but I could find the answer using the search option. If you want to start from the ramp in a single mission. edit this line in the MSN File.

primera piel muy temprana y con pocos detalles

Last summer, I enjoyed a trip in Albania (took off from Tirana and took pictures over Durrës just 4 hours before the major earthquake that mauled the area on 21 September, by the way!) There, I visited the nice medieval Castle in Gjirokastra, which was once the National Museum of Arms during the Communist era (still contains dozens of WW2 artillery guns). And on the top of this fortress, I unexepectedly stumbled on this wreckage faded by 50 years of careless outdoor exposure. On 23 December 1957, this USAF Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star (number 51-04413) was forced to land by two or three MiG-15bis, while flying off-course over Communist Albania during a transit from France to Greece. Major Howard J. Curran claimed he planned to land anyway due to instruments failure and lack of fuel; he was relased as soon as 9 January 1958. The plane has been exhibited in Gjirokaster since 1969, as a captured spy-plane and a war trophy over the Imperialist powers. Typical Cold War era...

Menrva, the aircraft exploding on the start of the mission , or during taxi only happens on my modded Germanyce Terrain with airfields from Rends (Drewitz Airbase for example) Nellis air force base in the SWUS map works like a charm . And I don't have this problem with stock airfields. Making a separate entry for the taxi waypoint, does not change anything . Waypoint[01].Command=TAXI Waypoint[01].Position=896450.000000,774779.422852,0.000000 Waypoint[01].Size=100.000000 Waypoint[01].Speed=191.740005 Waypoint[02].Command=TAKEOFF Waypoint[02].Position=896450.000000,774779.422852,0.000000 Waypoint[02].Size=100.000000 Waypoint[02].Speed=191.740005 Waypoint[03].Command=DEPART Waypoint[03].Position=895148.481312,783947.500721,3048.000000 Waypoint[03].Size=1500.000000 Waypoint[03].Speed=191.740005 EDIT: I did make one change last night that made my mentally challenged wingman take off, but he did not use the runway. He just took of in a random direction, on unpaved ground. It was my own plane when I used auto pilot when parked on the ramp. Also pressing alt + n makes your wingman magically appear.

We may drink lots of tea but we know how to build classic jets eh ant ?...lol

Pretty impressive find!! Only problem I find is that the AI keep turning and never taxi to the runway.

I suggest that you try this mod package I released: https://combatace.com/files/file/16919-speech-enhancement/ With it, you can decide if you always want to have Hawkeye or Red Crown, alternative files are provided. I also fixed some inconsistencies with the original speech audio and subtitle files.

Had to have a little fun with the Tommy... as if the Libyans tried to actually launch an anti-ship strike: OF course going to guns is a must in the Tomcat...

here's the promised screenies. sorry it took so long, it's been a screwed up day 2 views of Tan Son Nhut, one of the asphalt paving at Cat Bi

Well, flying in FE2 always brings the modding addiction out in me so I'm currently working on a mini, ver. 9.9 update of the FM pack before I tinker with my early WW2 install for SF2. Included will be the atmospherics tweaks posted above (as well as some subtle changes to clouds), also some more subtle changes to balloon explosions, for consistency, and lockout speeds will be included for control surfaces on the following early aircraft (Caudron, Taube, Longhorn, Shorthorn, HF.20, HF.20u, Pfalz E.I, MS type G 25/45/60hp, MS type H, MS L early one-seater, MS L early two-seater, Pfalz E.II, Pfalz E.III, MS type N, Fokk. E.Ia (Parabellum), Fokk. E.II (Spandau), Fokk. E.IIa (Parabellum), MS L late one-seater, MS L late two-seater). Will also include some tweaks to the AI for the Pfalz Parasol since it sometimes tries to climb too quickly, and aileron and rudder sensitivity have been further reduced on the Alb. D.II Oeffag. Should be enough for a mini-update. FM tweaks for the Snipe and some two-seaters that I've never touched on CombatAce will follow later in a bigger ver. 10.0 update. Von S Improved atmospherics Improved mesh numbers and other entries in the flightengine.ini (will provide a mid-range and higher-end flightengine.ini) - these tweaks are particularly good for sightseeing and expansive vistas More tinkering with balloon explosions Let's not forget the observer with parachute tweak for immersion

Short status update of the 104S rework project: F-104S CB - done F-104S ASA CB - done F-104S CI - done F-104S ASA CI - to be done F-104A ASA M - to be done

Thanks Russ! here's the unit, lods, inis, OUT is Monty even still around? Wonder if he has the MAX files, and can fix it. All the others are perfect Hangar large.7z

Nah, I've only posted two shots of the Warthog, though if you said it about the Super Hornet, you'd be right

looks awesome wrench!

they sure kept it in great shape.......

me thinks it in the realm of technically possible, but damn hard to execute and often screwing up more than it provides the answer on many things SF2

Converting is quite easy...hard bit is redoing all the meshes ...relinking animating etc.. heres How I convert an imported 3ds or FBX or OBJ which is converted from say the .AC format...into 3ds max 1,I make sure the object is correct scale 1st...usually they are...KA50 was...BUT you need check that when imported the 3d it uses the models scale... 2,then I weld vertices usually using a small scale to make sure that vertices on small meshes arent all mixed up,and are welded correctly.. usually in 3ds or OBJ imoprting leaves modes meshes in areas of seperate meshes even single polygons...Ive had some where every single poly seperated.. PIC1 3, then I seperate the meshes...if importing 3ds I usually edit as poly and remove any extra edges added by the importer.....3ds etc tends to add diagonals to a poly...which on some curved areas causes the mesh to look ragged. PIC2 4 thats really the hardest part,then its a matter of animating,linking and exporting really PS I find FBX for max or flight studio \openflight . FLT importer tends to leave meshes as they were originally...

ok thnx m8....np I might....emphasise the might...be able to devote a few hours to summat....maybe set model up for someone else to finish data.ini etc etc...

Dec 2012 to Dec 2019 - this definitive is the "Bump of the Year"

Will the parachute be included in your update?

Yes, indeed, it looks good. I wonder how you managed to make fluttering streamers for the Pfalz? As far as I remember, M.S. N flap streamers were an integral part of the 3d model, while Stephen1918 created static streamers.

Most assuredly, boatloads of stuff we need (replacements for)

you only get messages from the Hawkeye on terrains with NavalMap=TRUE, and have full carrier operations

Yes, freeware. If you have any doubt, contact the author.

Good to see old bird still going...might update this model one day...I know we have another but this model was one of my first so deserves some kindness...lol

First class... as usual.

Some road tiles are made now. (He-100D shot down Hurricane near Manston.) The area south of Manston Airbase

Started work hopefully, I will complete it before year-end.

Yes they flap in the wind and look quite nice. Von S

Lucky shot. Two Spitfire destroyed with one long salvo.

Its a beauty! What a pity, that the development was canceled in favor of Ye-231, the later MiG-23S.

Eric, you are obsessed with the Hog dude Did anyone say thunder (ax)? English summer vacation, or how i help beat back Irish communism dooowwn toooowwwnnn.... ok, im done

Something about the 104 that makes this jet so special . I call the 104 And F-5 personal Jets. I have been lucky and had a flight in the back seat of a Canadian 104 In Germany. Almost got sick lol 😂

Started to rework Spillone104´s F-104S pack. F-104S ASA CB already done. Changed inis (to use stock tanks) adjusted loadout, repainted fake pilot parts, and did a complete new AMI template for the stock F-104G, new specular maps. Would be nice to have the source files for the fake pilot parts, there is a shadow (tractor beam) issue with the current parts

Modern Syria, just for Civil war there, and foreign powers intervention... Hmeim Airbase near the coast. Bekaa valley. And Syrian desert.

Remade my hangar screen model...if Mue could enable us to add 2 lods...maybe could add your own a\c to it....?...
