When you read the group of Argentine modders, just say Torno, I have been creating these models for quite some time Screen capture required

Ready to pick up the parabats... Cleaning up the remainings of that SWAPO camp...

Rivet counting starts!

nice angelp. adding on to your old project? mandatory screenie: IFR or i follow roads

Already done. Available in german language. Edit: Seems to be, that the publishing house has sold my Mi-24 book to an english publishing house. Thats new for me. Hope that the translator made a good job. (East german special terms are different from west german special terms, I hope the translator know what he is doing!)

Complete rework. 😎

Still flying and enjoying the amazing su-57 fighter. made another cool "fictional" skin and wanted to know what you guys think.

thats two new things learned today ah hahahaha but gepard, you really should start writing a book or something. you are THE resident expert on the LSK and the Soviet operations that overlapped with them

Do you mean something like this?

The KDS-23 dispenser was originally used on MiG-27 and Su-22. For the MiG-23 the central pylon was modified. The designation of the modified pylon was PKWP-23. It could carry the usual drop tank. In the pylon the dispenser KDS-23 was included. so it looked in reality: You see the connection pipe (valve) to the fuel system of the plane and then the 12 cartidges for flares or chaff. Each cartidge had a caliber of 50 mm.

Finally I can say .. YES ;-)

I am not sure if "FIRE_SECONDARY_GUN=" has ever worked as a separate trigger. Normally you have to use the "NEXT_GUNGROUP=SEMICOLON" command to cycle through gun types and use the "FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN=" command. This works on the stock F-8 Cusaders, all four 20mm cannons, one pair, the other pair, and back to all. You may be able to get the FIRE_SECONDARY_GUN= command to work by changing the "InputName=" for the given gun group on a specific aircraft. Note that other aircraft like the A-1J Skyraider with its four 20mm cannons and the Mig-17 with its two 23mm and one 37mm cannon do not have this setup like the F-8 does. You would need to edit the aircraft's data files to see if it works. From the F-8D_Data.INI file. // Internal Guns --------------------------------------------------------- [InternalGun1] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=20MM_Mk12 GunGroup=1 <---------------------------------------- Gun Group ID Number InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN <------- Input Name for the gun control.

No, the last patch was July 2013 so you'll be good when you reinstall. Even the SF2 Complete is at Jul 2013

Will do maybe not for a week or two though

Yes it did, the pylon dispenser was an additional one that was installed around the time they deployed to Afganistan. I believe in Afganistan full loads of just flares were carried in all three dispensers since MANPADS were the main threat. But the pylon dispenser like the over fuselage ones could carry chaff or a mix of both.
