Gloster Meteor F.8A - No.30 Squadron, RAF South East Asia Command, 1951

Some screenshots from my 2005 Campaign over Dhimar with RAF Raptors, starting with a couple of "fails": My Wingman didn't get the memo that he didn't need to carpet bomb one target with every single Paveway IV he can carry... When you tell your Wingman to engage a target... & he decides that a mid-air collision is preferable to following your orders. -------------

Guuruu!!!! What are you doing! the price on fish in my marked rised up to the sky!!!!!!!!

Whats up guys? I am currently waiting here in Spain for the DEMO-2 mission to lift off (hopefully it won't be postponed again hahahaha). I have finally introduced my unfinished Orion MPCV into the simulator with the flight model of an A-4 (but in very low gravity and with afterburner). This could be the first What-If fighter of the new United States Space Force hahahaha. I still have to finish the textures as you can see but they are almost done. Also I should design some "realistic" pylons for torpedoes and a gun (which should also be created, like a kind of AIM-9B of this new era). The solar panel arrays can be deployed and they do with the landing gear retraction command (so the spacecraft should appear landed with them retracted and deploy once in the "air"). I don't know how I am going to solve the landing gear issue, because the most realistic thing to do is appear vertically oriented in the runway (like the POGO) but this mechanic is very problematic, not to say impossible. Therefore I have to design a horizontal landing gear system or something. I also want to make effects for the RCS thrusters, I have already checked that because of the limitation of the game engine, there is no chance of linking an engine and the thruster effects with the roll/yaw/pitch inputs as the input for the normal engines only reads positive values (which means you could only trigger the effects turning in positive angles of roll/yaw/pitch and not the opposite). Unfortunately the control thrusters, like the one used in every VTOL, don't allow thruster effects. Sooooo the only aesthetic solution I found is trying to make thruster effects that triggers randomly (trying somehow to dissable the emision for some seconds in the Effect.INI and keeping all the RCS online during the flight, I will make some tests). Obviously, in this way, the control thrusters will be appearing but they will have nothing to do with your commands hahahaha. Well I leave you with some nice pics of the beginning of the lunar warfare! As I write, they have given the go ahead to load the fuel on the Crew Dragon, so enjoy!

Republic P-72C Superbolt - Esquadra No.10, Força Aérea Portuguesa, 1955 Following the formation of NATO in 1949 there was an immediate acknowlegement that most of the air forces of the member states needed an urgent transfusion of modern combat aircraft and the Portuguese Aeronáutica Militar was especially in need of replacing it's old Hurricanes and first-generation Spitfires. In November 1950 it was agreed that, under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program, the United States would supply 50 P-72C Thunderbolt fighters to Portugal. The 50 P-72C's were all ex-USAF aircraft previously based at Bordeaux–Mérignac in France and were ferried to Portugal in small batches during the Spring and Summer of 1951. The aircraft were equally distributed among the newly created Esquadra 10 and Esquadra 11 and also a training flight at Ota Air Base. However, training proved to be a difficult time for the Portuguese pilots used to the lighter British fighters and there were also problems with the Portuguese air bases not having the appropriate radio equipment but these were soon addressed and both squadrons were fully operational by the time that the Portuguese Air Force was formed on July 1st, 1952 following the merger of the former Aeronáutica Militar and the Aviação Naval. An important milestone was reached in September 1952 when four-ship flights from both P-72C squadrons were sent to Zwiebrucken in Germany to participate in 'Blue Alliance' a large NATO exercise where they acquitted themselves well in defending their temporary home against 'enemy' RAF Lincoln bombers. Back home in Portugal the P-72C force were soon hit by a serious shortage of spares leading to Esquadra 11 being disbanded and it's remaing aircraft were transferred to Esquadra 10 who moved across to Tancos Air Base in late 1954 where they operated the P-72C until disbanding in October 1956.

hello Can someone do a cockpit for SU-25T/SM with better Shkval/Mercury display resolution? Thank you.

View File [Fictional] Convair F-102J Delta Dagger 'JASDF' Convair F-102J Delta Dagger for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Veltro2K's F-102A to create a fictional F-102J in service with the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force in the 1957-1977 timeline. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-102J folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop all folders into your Weapons folder. That's it! For sheer simplicity, this mod uses stock Third Wire F-4EJ decals. CREDITS Special thanks to Veltro2K for bringing us a freeware F-102A and also to FastCargo for his revisions and fixes to the 3D model. Thanks to Kesselbrut & Pasko for the F-106 cockpit with F-102A mods added by Ordway. Thanks also to 331KillerBee for the 509FIS camo skin that has been used for this JASDF Delta Dagger. As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Thank you mate,happy with it now !

View File SF2 F-102 (V2K) Delta Dart Hawaii ANG Skin Pack SF2 F-102 (V2K) Delta Dart Hawaii ANG Skin Pack 5/22/2020 = For SF2 (Any & All) = This is a new skin for the F-102 Delta Dart, by Veltro2K. It represents Darts as used by the 199th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Hawaiian Air National Guard from 7 December 1960 until October 1976. You can find the aircraft, if you don't have it already at the following URL: https://combatace.com/files/file/9446-f-102a-delta-dagger/ This is an all new skin, built from Geary's template (thanks!), with 26 new serial numbers. Those numbers marked with the star (*) are 100% historical. All the rest should be considered generic in nature. Decal randomization is TRUE. When in-game, you'll see: 199th FIS, Hi ANG (12/60-10/76) On the skin/unit selection drop-down menu. **Important! In order to eliminate confusion with the Razbam F-102, this main folder has been tagged as "F-102A_v2k". If yours in name differently, you may have to either rename you aircraft folder, or rename THIS folder to fit you personal naming conventions. Do NOT rename the folders in the Decals sub-folder. This will keep their specific pathways intact.** As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... they can be accessed after unzippering. Please follow the 'usual instructions'. If you run into trouble, feel free to post the question, or PM me. Happy Landing! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 05/29/2020 Category F-102  

The Hurricane also had and offset tail fin, so quite common to have non symmetrical airframe layouts in actual fact , probably more common than one would imagine.

The Macchi Fighters of WW2, MC. 2OO, 2O2, 205 had one wing shorter than the other they were designed like that as to reduce the torque of the aircrafts

And I remember this commercial playing all the time.

'NO FISHING' area ...

Cast A Giant Shadow

Getting there...new bumps and specs .few tweaks and we`re in business...meanwhile...

All Out Fighters Attack!!! Hunting Rodan...

Helo time

The original request for the Pearl Harbor National Memorial came from Wrench here: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/94790-3d-object-request/?tab=comments#comment-767482 Today in the United States it is Memorial Day. A time to remember and honor those who have died in service to our great nation. And specific to this request, “The USS Arizona Memorial, at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and commemorates the events of that day.” I unexpectedly found some free time, and have been working relentlessly to get my version in a decent condition so I could post an update today. Everything has been scratch built including most of the texture work. It started off as just a quick hull mesh, but as time went on, I felt a sense of honor and patriotism in creating this – and that’s when things evolved. With the state it’s in, dare I say you can even take a fairly convincing virtual walk-through of the memorial – overkill perhaps but I found it extremely gratifying. I’m still making some overall form tweaks and other updates, but am proud to be sharing the latest progress especially today and hope it is a proper tribute.
