Back to the roots. I have gone one step back and started to mod the old, already uploaded Kuz to make them working. The LOD had some malefunctions. the guns does not look in the right direction. The gun turrets mostly are of wrong type. But as a first step ... I tried to include the skin of the new Kuz into the old one. I added names and shipnumbers, which i had already done and, and, and ...... So it looks now: Not perfect, but better than nothing.

so no one starts one lol....main MAN SX done and launch trailer etc...rescaled and done....need animate table and the pistons...will do one in firing pos and one for on the move. making the radar trailer as there isnt one...theres one in sf1 section but its basic...

Formation of 4 Mirage IIIEZ fly low level to avoid early radar acquisition... Their target is a training camp in Cahama. They dropped bombs Anti-aircraft artillery was expected... ZU-23s were seen firing from two different directions... SA-7 gunners were also present... However even though almost all missiles tracked the targets, Mirages accelerated and missiles missed... During the last raid a single Mirage released its ordnance and started accelerating while climbing... Only seconds before impact an another pilot saw a small missile getting very close... Mirage IIIEZ suffered critical damage and was shot down... While the formation was returning back to base they realized that an another aircraft had been hit by 23mm guns at right wing... Damaged aircraft landed safely and grounded for the necessary repairs. After some days it became operational.

Cocas Brigand conversion upgraded to represent the FA2 version...

The Cold War Has Gone Hot...... A US mechanized infantry unit has survived and been enveloped. LSK (East German Air Forces) jets are being scrambled for a dawn attack... F-16C Block 30s are racing to help the surrounded unit under @Menrva's real sky. A F-16 fires off an AIM-9 to fend off the LSK jets. A LSK Su-22's flares didn't get the job done. LSK MiG-23BNs lob rockets at the mechanized unit, not realizing a F-16C is on its tail.... The F-16C goes to guns on the MiG-23 and then gets to work pounding the ground element: F-111Ds are inbound to whack an airfield the LSK launched from: Only to have MiG-21s launch: Ignorant of the new Fishbed threat, the F-16s carry out more low-level attacks on the ground element: But the BTR-50s and T-62s are still able to close with the mechanized infantry & supports: But with only four F-16s for CAS and lacking IR pods - it's 1989 after all, the outcome is almost certain:

"Sokol to Kuz. Request permission for fast and low flyby." "Negativ. Sokol." "Sorry Kuz. To late!" "Job twoi "

Animated.....Pilot feet,Rudder pedals,Flap,brake and gear levers... When I get around to doing the DC-3 will update the cockpit. lights...some are always on...ie,oil,fuel lights.... autoplilot,gears and cab doors lights work but not manually...nightlight does work as I based this cockpit.ini on basically default entries. any problems feel free to pm me and will try to answer asap... hope you like it and enjoy flying it...I think it looks good in game....im very happy with it... Thanks to...below for assistance and guidance..after me pestering them lol....not done many pits so thanks gents. Logan4... Yakarov79... Crusader..... Swambast....... cheers Russouk Update.... coloured cockpits for the DC-3 \ C-47A Russian style green and blue... simply drop in Cockpit folder...back up original Douglas_DC3_1_C.bmp if you want to keep it.....

They worked fine for me (using Chrome) Nice work so far!

Holding the shift key gives you finer control. From the readme: The position and heading of selected objects can be changed with the mouse: -translation (coarse): ctrl + left click + move -translation (fine): ctrl + shift + left click + move -rotation (coarse): ctrl + mouse wheel -rotation (fine): ctrl + shift + mouse wheel

East German Su-7 Fitter trying to find targets with @Menrva's realSKY making it hard...

Liaoning could be a repainted Kuz. Sinking the ship is at the moment a little problem. It withstand a lot of hits and the CIWS is very effective. I attacked the Kuz with 16 F-18, fired 32 Harpoon and it happens very often, that all 32 missiles were destroyed by CIWS and short range SAM. It needs finetuning.

that'll go very nicely when I finish modernizing the Hawaii terrain.

C'mon Mr Wrench sir, we are blokes, and we all know real blokes do NOT ever read instructions , for to do so would be un blokey, and far too logical , and we cant be having logic and common sense invading our fav flight sim.....this is why no Females ( or blokettes ) post in here, as they are horribly Locical and ALWAYS read instructions and the like........a ghastly state of affairs if you ask me sir !!

Kuwaiti F-18's, ordinance to spare, parked transports...you know how this ends.

Ok, some more details. Completely inspired by Gepard’s Operation Seelöwe work, a comment alluded to needing an upgraded London Bridge. Rightfully so, the one we have is archaic and definitely needs an overhaul. First – full disclosure and acknowledgement that the original base model mesh is not my work. It is based on a publicly available free source model with no author attributed. Next, that being said – like many free models, you get what you pay for. This model was an absolute bastard to work with and had countless issues. I mean endless open edges / unwelded verts, massive 8K+ poly pieces, double-faced/overlapping polys, incorrect texture mapping and God knows what else. So I created new scratch mesh pieces, brand new textures, new UVW mappings, fixed shadow issues and basically re-worked the whole thing over. Why? Well, I invested a lot of time researching and gathering reference photos/textures – but kept coming back to this option especially because it had some really great main texture pieces. This model will most likely never meet the level of quality I was hoping for, and I’m sure there will be some issues here and there. Unlike most of my stuff, this one is definitely tipping on the higher poly side but I plan to make some lower level .LODs and tune up performance eventually. In hindsight, wish I would have taken my friend Del’s advice when he said, sometimes the time to fix issues is better spent starting over – wise words indeed in this case. Having just started from scratch would have resulted in cleaner mesh topography and probably given me more satisfaction in the end. But it's good to at least be at a place where it's feeling "decent enough" and dare I say even rivaling some other flight sim payware additions like this one... OK, enough of all the boring details, right? On to the screenshots for you to enjoy! This will be available as an exclusive feature in Gepard’s Operation Seelöwe project – so stay tuned as his work progresses! As for future ideas – I eventually would really like to add in vehicle and pedestrian traffic on the bridge (but would need help researching era-specific vehicles) so more to come. In-Game Shots
