There are loads of Jet Provost and Strikemaster skins out there on the FSX sites that only take about 5 minutes to convert for Russo's Provosts as he has kindly kept the same mapping as Rick Piper's original. Saudi Arabia Oman Ecuador Another New Zealand skin RAF from various time periods.. And some civilian owned display birds This desert camo skin could be converted to be used by Oman, or Dhimar..

Model completed and I would like to thank everyone who helped me in this project. next will be the data files and testing which whiteknight06604 is going to take care of for me.

A bit of BoB action. This green and pleasant land.. Help yourselves everyone, there's no escort.. Spit vs 109 on the deck..

just another Sunday in the Deutsche Demokratische Republik scooting in low as i like to do now, i did destroy a hardened shelter. just not the one i was supposed to.....

For me the Mi-24 was a childhood dream. To fly this helicopter was my desired career. But i was unable to pass the medical checks and was phased out. When i wrote the book i asked the Museum at Cottbus airport (Flugplatzmuseum Cockpit) whether they would allow me to make a walkaround photoshoot of their Mi-24D. They agreed and opend all doors and hatches and cockpits of the Mi-24, especially for me. So i could climb into the cockpits for pilot and gunner. And i felt comfortable there, like in a very good car. I had an excellent view forward and sideward. The side armour protection was up to my shoulders and the front cockpit glas was thick, very thick. The cockpit was compared with soviet fighter planes spacious. A very good feeling. Thats the Mi-24D at Cottbus. All doors open for me. Some years later i had the chance to climb in the cockpit of the Eurocopter Tiger. One prototype is now displayed at Bückeburg Helicopter Museum. I asked the guys there and they opened the cockpit for me. And i could climb in, could sit where Pierce Brosnan was sitting some years ago! Yes it was the Tiger prototyp you have seen at James Bond movie "Golden Eye". I was sitting in James Bond seat! Wow! But to be honest. The cockpit of the Mi-24 is better. It is bigger and you felt much safer in the Mi-24 than in the Tiger. Here a photo of the James Bond Tiger What i want to say is, there are special days in museums. Days where no much visitor traffic is and the staff is bored. At some days you have the chance to make special experiences. Perhaps you will get the chance to sit in a Mi-24. Its worth trying.

After some tunings, the Attila79 campaign is a good occasion to fly centurion's F5E:

I dont know, how exactly the flightmodel of the Mi-24 in DCS would be. In reality the Mi-24 was a big step forward. It was completly different from the Mi-8. One of the east german Mi-24 pilots descriped it so: "Flying the Mi-24 feels like driving a fast motorbike. But which bike can reach 300 km/h? The needed movement of the stick is very small. It has only the size of a 5 Mark coin." The 5 Mark coin had had a diameter of 29 mm. What means that you needed a lot of feeling to fly this helicopter. The Mi-8 flying was said was like driving a small van or small truck. It was a reliable, stable flying helicopter. My own experience with the Mi-8 was, that we had 3 of them at Nordhausen, when i served out my military time as a Sergeant. (I finished my military duty at the rank of a Unterfeldwebel (Staff Sergeant). Always when a helicopter came out a routine check it had to be flight tested. One of the test was to fly the heli fully loaded. To make it easy and fast the heli was not loaded with weights or cargo, but with men. All folks available had to climb in the cargobay of the Mi-8. And then: here we go! In the hand of an experienced pilot the Mi-8 behaved like a bus. Smooth and comfortable. Okay, it was loud. Our Mi-8 were military and had not had the sound damping interior paneling of civil Mi-8s. But else it was a very good feeling to sit in the Mi-8 looking out of the window and the best was, that it was a flight for free! But one time, i was assigned to take a television to another of our 3 landing points and the one of the pilots was a greenhorn, fresh from pilots school. He was the No 2 pilot. The No 1 pilot was the commander of the squadron. When the commander was flying the Mi-8 was stable like a bus, when the greenhorn was taking over it behaved like a small boat in high waves. That was not a really nice experience. But worth. My only flight with a Mi-24 was terrible. During one of my trainings we visited a soviet helicopter base. They showed us all what they had, helicopters and weapons, even the the ODAP bombs. "That we usually dropped in an afghan village before the ground troops started an attack." they told us, "Usually one is enough to flatten one village." And then the invited us to have a flight with a Mi-24. One crew was assigned to make a low level mission at treetop height. Okay, i thought, no problem at all. When our pilots flew at treetop hight it means flying straight away at 30 m. I thougt the soviets did it in the same way. My fault. The soviet crew came fresh from Afghanistan. And they flew like in Afghanistan. For them meant flying at treetop height, that the highest point of the helicopter was allowed to be at 30 meters. Maximum, better is to be lower, much lower! At fast speeds the nose of the Mi-24 is going down. Sitting in the cargo bay it felt like sitting on an inclined plane. This was terrifying enough. More terrifying was that i got the feeling, that the helicopter pilot was trying to scratch the soil with the gun of the helicopter. So low we were flying. And then started the roller coaster. When an obstacle was in the flight path the heli "jumped" over it, only to sink down to former very low altitute in less than a second. The first 3 or 4 of that stunts were fun. But afterwards i started to become airsick. Holy moly! What a mess! I tore my steel helmet from my head and used it as spittoon. After landing my spittoon was nearly completly filled and i saw things in it, that I couldn't remember to have eaten. Oh my! Never again!!!! Mi-24 pilots are mad!!!!

View File UH-1H IROQUOIS (PAKISTAN) BELL UH1-H IROQUOIS PAKISTANI ARMY Using Yakarov79's excellent UH-1H I have created 3 new skins for the Pakistani Army, the first is the standard overall green, there is a grey/green camo scheme, and finally what appears to be the latest cam scheme which is sand/green/brown . I have included the whole package in this upload to make it easier to install as it needs really to be installed separate from a general UH-1H installation, as it is a purely Pakistani machine. all the files needed are included, sounds, weapons, pilots etc etc . I have left the decals the same for all 3 schemes, as it appears that standard markings are commonplace on Pakistani aircraft. One thing to note though, is that when the gunners are enabled, it removes the numbering from the cargo doors, not a major issue at all, but I just thought you may need to know. also, the latest iterations of the Huey in Pakistani service appear to be armed with miniguns rather than M60's however I dont have the ability to adjust this , so the Pigs will have to suffice, I am not sure if this modification is for the newer Venoms, rather than the standard UH-1 , however, if it is possible to mod the gunners with the miniguns, that would be totally ace. As I said this model is originally from Yakarov79, so all the main, and important workings are his sterling work not mine, I have merely adapted it to reflect the Pakistan Army's aircraft. As always, any questions or issues/omissions, please feel free to message me. I hopefully will be doing more UH-1H's soon, in fact I have started working on them already, so wait out on that !! Finally as always, ENJOY !!! Submitter trotski00 Submitted 03/29/2020 Category Other Origin  

Indeed...so many I only added few otherwise would have been weeks adding them lol... I did label whats been moved IIRC got it all... theres templates out there somewhere but I couldnt find them...

Challenge complete!

Oh, dude! That's awesome!

bridge busting

That's cute.. I had the chance to hear a keynote speaker by Nicole Malachowski about being the first female Thunderbirds pilot :) (she actually sent me a message today in response a message I sent her a few months ago haha)

There is a Sukhoi in that Pic, I swear!

Yes, I can recommend the Flugplatzmuseum Cottbus (Sorry, it seems the webpage is in german only). Very nice and friendly people there. I too had the chance to sit in the cockpit of this very Mi-24D. If interested, I can post some cockpit photos.

Thanks a lot russouk2004, for trying hard to explain to me and I have learned a new thing today, but that wasn't what I was looking for. But the good thing I have found what I was looking for from one of the photos that you posted. This is my problem I was making all the animation keys in the same frames 0 to 10 instead of 0-10 for the first one and 11-20 for the second and so on. Wrench Yes, it spins and rotates.

Almost never played WW2 in Sf2, I use Il2 to get my regular dosis, there is a tileset that always impressed me in EAW, and tought it will fit perfectly in Europe.

<cough> ww2 EAWEuro ring any bells?? with TODs oh, and you're welcome Jordi!!

And you and yours as well my friend.

this is what I mean

My child dream is to fly the Hind as well, but being in Spain was specially hard. At least sims made the dream a bit closer.

Oh yeah, we need a better cockpit too, the huey cockpit is just totally wrong.....just saying.

.... Try to start a online session but we completely forgot how to. Ah, we are Italian, can anybody remember ID(io)T Team and our MB-339A?

working on it...theres a HRS-1,HAS Mk22,H-19,HO4-S and a Whirlwind HAR.4 in the freeware pack im converting.. ignore skin on this version its for remapping\moving textures reference for e as its the brightest skin lol wont be while as imn trying to get a helo pack together Kamov 27 \ 32 This....the lynx ,Merlin and Wessex.Mk5

Yes it's easy This is a tileset I use for an upcoming terrain.

....Hello FROM ALL Prisoner's...... Mandatory pic:

guardians of the Chattahoochie how are you feeling ............ rattlin. Haha very funny......... this one seems to be popular on most American bombing platforms and for those that know their geography i know the Chattahoochie is no where near Warner Robbins. but its more recognizeable than Ocmulgee, and is in the same state.

Much love brother, no hate, you and your family be safe and stay safe. This is our time to be the Americans we are all proud of, the head Cheeto matters not, let's just get through this alive.

I don't play FE2 enough. Maybe the lockdown will rectify that! Some dogfight action..

Kiddos remember, when dog-fighting, use your flaps!

Super + Super Sunday........... a Super Hornet goes up against a Super Flanker. As there's a Sukhoi Sunday thread, here's 100% the Super Hornet's perspective.

KAW P-51D FM update attached. [ Got side tracked. The Panther FM hasn't even been started yet!] This P-51D FM is for use with Wrenchs' KAW P-51D pack that you can get here: http://combatace.com/topic/75103-sf2-korean-war-era-p-51d-mustangs/ NOTES: The stock TW P-51D FM seems to underperform quite a bit so this FM has been adjusted to get the desired performance. [desired by me, at least.] The main performance changes are due to adjustments to the inner wing CDL headline number and a minor edit to the CDL table. Also, some additional changes to the rudder data and engine table. The P-51 holds lots of internal fuel so to maintain good performance you should limit the fuel load on short range missions. Other changes: The MaxSpeedSL= has been adjusted to 505MPH. This was the Mustang redline indicated airspeed below 9000ft and is a bit of an experiment. I usually set the MaxSpeedSL to about 10MPH above the book number while tuning the top speed at sea level with edits to the overall CD0. In this case I want to see if the "simplified" AI flight engine will keep the max LEVEL SL speed within the same range as the player aircraft. So far, so good. I think the game flight engine limits the AI speeds to the MaxSpeedSL entry or the MachLimit entry [0.77 Mach for the P-51], which ever comes first. By raising the the MaxSpeedSL entry to the redline speed I hope to get more realistic AI behavior. If this approach works it should make for more interesting dogfights. [Thinking WW2 here!] I have also included some info on KAW aircraft war service dates. Previously, I had the dates in the FM data for optional use but it is probably better to use these dates just for Campaign or Single Missions. I plan to keep updating this file as I do more KAW FM's. The dates may be of some help to Campaign/Mission builders but the research is "Internet Quality". Here's the P-51D FM: KAW P-51D_0.99.zip
