So I was going through some pictures and I found my simming rig from 2004.....so I thought it might be fun to see if anyone has pics of their setups from a long time ago and what they look like now. So I have one pic from 2004 and one I took earlier today. Look how far we have come.

First steps to get a Liaoning

At some point, you GOTTA listen to the briefing about what enemy assets are in the area.

Man the Supercarrier is nice....and I got it for only $21.03 using points and the pre-purchase discount. I also got this....and I don't know why.

I thought our modelers would find this interesting. Also a link to the "Titanic: Honor And Glory" website. https://www.titanichg.com/

DCS World has come a long way from Flanker / LOMAC. I thoroughly enjoy it. I have finally started to get into multiplayer using the awesome combination of VAICOM Pro for interacting with AI and SRS for interacting with real people using the proper radio controls and procedures. The F-14B and F/A-18C are great aircraft to fly. With Supercarrier, these two Naval fighters shine as the most fun and immersive to fly in DCS World. The Tomcat is a little harder to employ in combat because of the combination of older, complex systems and having to deal with the AI RIO, who can't figure out that if I tell him to track a target and the radar loses track while an AIM-7 or AIM-54 is in the air, that he needs to regain the lock as quickly as possible on the same contact. But the Tomcat is more fun to fly because it isn't fly-by-wire. The Tomcat is my go-to plane to fly until an F-4 Phantom is available. It is actually a half-decent F-4 simulator thanks to the RIO, steam gauge cockpit, and AIM-7/AIM-9 armament. If the F-14A ever becomes available as originally promised, it has very similar power-to-weight with resulting similar climb and sustained turn performance. If you don't use AIM-54s, it will only have the range and TWS benefits of the radar over the F-4 in weapons systems. Whereas the F-14B's big engines make it competitive if not superior to anything else flying if you can handle the lack of fly-by-wire with good pitch and yaw control. The Hornet is only crippled by two things: underpowered and low max g limit. But it is by far the easiest aircraft to use for air combat and one of the most fun to fly because of its high AoA performance. The Hornet really handles well if you can keep the speed low enough to not be limited by max G and fast enough to not be limited by drag and stall speed.

Hello paulopanz, Thanks for this pack! Regarding the sound of the Hispano Suiza Verdon, it is the same engine as the P&W J48 which was used in the Grumman Panther & Cougar, if it can help.

The way the guys on the deck are animated is most impressive.

unfortuneatly you got it the same place this one was gotten you can share everything but the lod i though. just gotta give notice in the release that its a DAT product and need to get the lod there and that does look good btw

Today i converted this old SF1 aircraft to SF2. Old but not bad one :-D. But i dont know can i share it or not cuz i don't remember where i had got it. I dont know why but i like this ugly guy))

Russian (green) and Ukrainian (camo) tanks duking it out on the battlefield. My Ukrainian Mi-24 was taken out by a Russian SAM so I just sat back to watch the battle...

Thank you for these many variations on the Elephant Crawford - I will copy over the changes to my modified FMs for the Elephants as soon as I find time. For those who have my FM realism pack loaded up, for FE2, by the way, the working fuel pump prop. mod that Crawford discovered has already been included on the FM-modded Sopwith Camel variants, a while back, as well as on the FM-modded Elephants - but I will eventually include Crawford's latest modifications to guns and cameras, to the Elephants, too. Great stuff and glad to see this thread revived. Von S

Republic F-7M 'Thunderpig' - VMFA-451, USMC, 1991 Apparently it's a MiG-27... who knew?

I cant remember...when part hit and damage appears...does rudder seperate and attached parts like the light ?....IIRC the "detach when destroyed"| means original tail mesh and the parts attached. ? senior moment lol

Definitely love the supercarrier. Having the deck crew there really helps the immersion, and also the lineup on the catapult so I'm not dicking around for five minutes trying to get aligned right, then rolling too far forward, then circling around the deck back to the catapult to try again, rinse repeat. I also picked up the VKB F-14 combat grip. Swap between that one and the Warthog stick depending on the module I'm flying. I'm considering snagging the F/A-18 add-on, but will probably wait for a sale. How do you like it, Dave?

Those dinky CRTs seemed more than adequate at the time - and that Thrustmaster Cougar would still look good with any modern setup.

I have added the AIM-7E series and the AIM-7F. Basic edits for AIM-120A to C-5.

View File Dassault Mystère IVA The Mystère IV was an evolutionary development of the Mystère II aircraft. Although bearing an external resemblance to the earlier aircraft, the Mystère IV was in fact a new design with aerodynamic improvements for supersonic flight. The prototype first flew on 28 September 1952, and the aircraft entered service in April 1953. The first 50 Mystere IVA production aircraft were powered by British Rolls-Royce Tay turbojets, while the remainder had the French-built Hispano-Suiza Verdon 350 version of that engine. This plane was "the star" of War of the Stripes over Suez in 1956 France was the main operator of the Mystère IV and at the peak usage operated 6 squadrons. Most of the aircraft were purchased under a United States Offshore Procurement contract and many were returned to US custody after they were retired. In April 1953 the United States government and the United States Air Force placed an order for 223 aircraft to be operated by the French. The new Mystère IVs were used in the 1956 Suez Crisis and continued in use into the 1980s The Mystère IV became Israel's first swept-wing fighter when an order for Mystère IIs was changed to 24 Mystère IVs in 1955, which were delivered from April to June 1956, equipping 101 Squadron. A further 36 were delivered in August 1956, with a final aircraft, equipped for reconnaissance duties, delivered in September 1956. On 29 October 1956, when Israel attacked Egypt in the opening move of what became known as the Suez Crisis, invading the Sinai Peninsula, the Mystères of 101 Squadron were deployed on both air-to-air and ground attack mission. A second squadron, 109 Squadron was equipped with the Mystère IV in December 1956, while 101 Squadron passed its Mystères to 116 Squadron in November 1961. Israel planned to replace the Mystère IV with the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, but 109 and 116 Squadron still operated the French fighter on the outbreak of the Six-Day War. The Mystère was finally retired from Israeli service on 18 March 1971. India procured 104 of aircraft in 1957 and used them extensively in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The phasing out of the aircraft started soon after the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, though it saw further action in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, it was completely phased out of the Indian Air Force by 1973. This is a big High Res update of my previous and other modders skins and new ones. Plane tweaking. WHAT'S IN: - 43 new skins (IDF 12; 5 IAF; 16 AdA) - historical decalsets - missing antenna added - taxing dance solved - openable autoclosing canopy - pilot CREDITS: - Tk plane - Geary High Rez temps - Ghostrider883 IAF previous skins - Wilco IDF decals - Coupi new antenna TO INSTALL: - all in main mod folder and overwrite OPERATIONS: - key 10 = Canopy open NOTE: I looked for the Hispano Suiza Verdon sound, but no luck. If someone has it, please share. Enjoy @paulopanz Submitter paulopanz Submitted 05/23/2020 Category Mystere IV  

Thank you man! Every one needs its voice ....

yeah the red is glare is exaggerating the size....mesh no overlap and fits the background fine...

Aleducat nunca termino ese modelo, y lo largue en beta parta que lo vuele la comunidad, por eso no me molesto en soltar otros modelos de el como el packfa T-50 ============ Google Translation (by wrench) Aleducat never finished that model, and I released it in beta as the community blows it up, that's why I don't bother releasing other models of it like the packfa T-50

Desert Dogfight...

I do indeed have the Stachel pilot in my files, as well as another 8 or 9 new pilot models (the slimline ones ) that Geezer made about a year or two ago, and that fit better with the often narrow WWI cockpits on many of the 'crates. I can PM the Stachel pilot to Silberpfeil if he likes - but, in terms of general upload/release here on the FE2 threads - as far as I know Geezer never gave a green light to release those publicly. Maybe he will eventually offer input on that. I do have a suggestion, however - it's been a while since I checked this thread - but look over this thread from about page 17 to 23 or so. There may be some of Geezer's pilots interspersed with the uploads of the various aircraft (not the FM packs that I've released here, but Geezer's own uploads, such as for the Caudron R.11). Happy flying, Von S EDIT: Have PM-ed you Geezer's latest pilots.

Thanks for the above, Crawford! I note the BrisFit has a wing-mounted "generator fan" - will it work with the same code? And going back a couple more, I never saw the "Stachel" pilot model except in George's post but it reads like VonS has it somewhere in his files. Can that be released for general use? I'm in the process of re-doing my "Blue Max" install and that would be a welcome addition!
