Also decals for the u2`s...2 non ss are CIA nearest camera and the far one is 9th Recon wing at Beale AFB...the ss version taking off ,S/R is decaled for 9th RW at Osan AB...

Did a tut on chutes in pinned area Flogger m8....chute animated with vertices and use a controller mesh to move and scale... I am led to believe this is a freeware version of the Yak-52...its done but im researching its pedigree to ensure its 100% NOT pirated if I release it...so it may or may not see light of day,..im tempted though to make one if it fails muster as its awesome.....took a lot of work to sort but I think its worth it...looks a stunner if im honest...really like this a\c...keep fingers crossed....The paint kit is listed and in freeware section at Virtavia..(Formerly Alphasim) so ok to use the textures...

i´m not sure if i have released this Swedish Weapons and if yes with wich pack , so here you can have it ( ECM Pods are not includet ) The M55_Akankapsel is a 30mm gun pod The M71_Bomblavett is a MER bomb rack for 4 bombs Swedish Weapons.7z

Still figuring the chute animation on this one to start skinning...

i just finished new SNEB 68 mm Rockets , from the top HE , AT , FRAG , Flechette SNEB 100 mm Rockets are next

Target for today: RAF Filton near Bristol. FW-187 Falke over Bristol Channel near Cardiff Task: Escort six Ju-88 which attack RAF Filton. Its only a diversion attack, to lure RAF fighters away from main strike. The plan was working. A Hawker Hurricane squadron took off and tried to attack the bombers. Our fighters engaged them and shot them down. Here: kill one! An other Hurricane is doomed. The result of the attack: The airfield was missed, but the bombs hit the Bristol Aircraft Company factory. The home of the Blenheim bombers is a ruin now. Heading home after sucessfull mission. No bomber lost. No fighter lost. 8 Hurricanes shot down. Well done everybody! The last few meters, then we had dry feets and a daywork was done.

this pod is part of some Swedish weapons i made for the Viggen an Draken here you can get it Raketkapsel M70.7z

Alternating between skinning and modeling

Maybe a mockup of the Republic TFX here NASA windtunnel models of this bird:

sorry....

wanna fix that font, maybe?? no need to "shout"

Sorry, but nothing compares to the CF-105 :)

RAF Filton. Spitfire Mk.I are waiting for next mission.

Light Flak is overrated, especially the machine guns. They are dangerous. Medium and heavy Flak is underrated. It happens very seldom, that they hit anything. But when they it, then it hurts.

U-2s and the non SS version (CIA) and RAF flown... Converted from the Freeware Alphasim 3ds model pack...Few tweaks to sort before ready... COPYRIGHT INFORMATION These files are freeware.

Hello all. Can I get some recommendations for good campaign mods that take place in around 1990s onwards? I'm mainly looking to use modern aircraft with all the bells and whistles such as LGBs, JDAMs, AMRAAMs, etc

That's great angelp, some more Western SAMs to fill in the blanks on maps.

Okay, I made my first test. I took the 40MM_L60 Bofors cannon from a M42, and I changed the following line in the GunData: WarheadWt=9.0 to WarheadWt=99999999.479980 What do you think it happened when A-10 went to hunt down two M42 in the middle of the desert? ... Yaaaaaaay, Nuclear rounds!! Also I tried setting tailgunners to shot flaks but appearently it didn't work, is it as easy as setting true to TimeFuzed? May be I am missing out something...

Heyoo if ya noticed a couple of minutes a go i posted some ss of my Su-30KI, now im not gonna post it for download because im planning to make it into the 35S with Thrust vectoring and a new cockpit. now.. what do i use to edit cockpit models? what software needed to design it or any utilities? (the Su-35 cockpit for download dont look so great and i wanna improve on it a lot) Secondly, How do i add thrust vectoring nozzles to an aircraft without Thrust vectoring?. > The model i use as a base is Marcfighter’s Su-27 and i also have the 37 installed and see it has the nozzles modeled and working. Sincerely, Noon

I love air to air missiles with nukes, that is why I filled the battlecruiser with 16 of them hahaha, I remember myself a bunch of years ago playing with the nuclear falcon in WOE, it was great shooting down entire squadrons at once! I will!

Dhimari Vanguards

Should not be a problem. Have decent memories with Robur also! Considering I was born and raised in Eastern bloc... recently I'm leaning forward some "red side" models more often. meanwhile... Planning to do LAK-2 variant next. also have 4 door cab...(good for Tanklöschfahrzeuge - did NVA use them ?) if someone desires some specific version....bribe accordingly and we will see what we can do.

Few tweaks and ready to go high...

In 1983 the USMC barracks in Beirut were suicide bombed causing 241 american deads, 58 french and 6 civilians, the USN reacted bombing Syrian and Hezbollah targets, we join a USN A-7E Corsair squadron on one of those raids in September 1983... Recent talks about Akrotiri AB and the Escort jammed prompted me to design and fly this one, It will be a semi historical mission, created on the fly in the editor, I know the Hornet was not on the carriers back in 1983, but I really like the Saratoga, also I don't used the proper squadrons or skins, but it was historical enough for me, as I tried to use proper planes and weapons, and was damn fun, so wanted to share with you guys, enjoy! Launching The American fleet Our escort Jammers Lebanon coast on my radar Our escort turning to engage FOX 3! The enemies Their happy end Spamming Phoenixes And R-23, unfortunately for him, he had to dodge the Tomcat wingman Sparrow coming his way so the R23 lost guidance. Getting ready to bomb Bombing from several directions at same time, confused the AAA Target destroyed Syrian reacted too late and missile never was a real threat (apart from the Sa-3, got a launch from a nearby Sa-6 too that properly tracked my wingman, as the jammer already departed, but we got out of range) Back to the boat for some late breakfast or early lunch! Was a fun mission, SF2 can still provide fun in a historical way!

I like this new F-5A !

now you see it , now you don't

Somewhere is still Phriday

If someone told me painting weird shapes on a Su-35 was how I was going to spend this weekend, I'd giggle pre-pandemic. It's slow work since there's no paint kit and a wild bitmap with this 3D model but I don't want a Su-35 without this particular paint scheme.

F-8E Crusader (“מָגֵן”) As October of 1973 progressed, one thing was clear. While Israel did not lose the Yom Kippur War, nor were they winning it. New Soviet air defence systems delivered to the Arab nations had taken a heavy toll on the Israeli Air Force and desperate reinforcements were needed. The United States, eager to assist their new ally in the middle east began an air bridge to supply ammunition, ordinance, airframes and spare parts to replace the vast quantities of material lost in the battles. On the 29th of October, the USS Hancock was given an unprecedented order - to proceed at once to the Red Sea where the entirety of Air Wing 21 - consisting of three Skyhawk Squadrons and two Crusader Squadrons - would be flown to Israel and the airframes loaned to the Israeli Air Force to replace losses. On the 1st of November, Air Wing took off from the Hancock, armed with ordinance for self-defence and began their journey towards Air Bases in Israel. The Air Forces of Egypt and Jordan interpreted this as an Alpha Strike, aimed at their Air Forces and scrambled several squadrons to intercept. However, direct US entry into the war was averted as radar monitors noticed the air group's heading was directly towards Israel Airspace and intercepting aircraft was recalled home. At first, the Israeli Air Force met their new gift of Crusaders with some confusion and apprehension, having never operated the type before but U.S Navy pilots - now stranded in a country at war - was eager to provide expertise and assistance, serving as impromptu flight instructors and it is believed that up to a third of the airplanes was indeed crewed by volunteer US Navy Pilots. While this was never admitted by the United States, it was never denied either and in later years, many ex-Navy pilots have come forward and told of their experiences of flying in the war. The other two thirds was made up of older Israeli active reserve pilots, more used to flying Mysteres and Mirages. This experience proved to be beneficial transferring to the Crusader. The Crusaders would not go to form any squadrons of their own in the Israeli Air Force, rather they were spread out to work together with Skyhawk Squadrons, acting as fighter escorts and decoy aircraft, using their speed and maneuverability to escape situations that would be tricky for the Skyhawks to handle. The pairing worked well and casualties in Skyhawk Squadrons were quickly reduced to manageable levels, earning the Crusaders their Israeli nickname of מָגֵן or “Guardian”. In Israeli service, they would have a kill ratio of ten to one with pilots often preferring to fly the aircraft without any external ordinance, relying on the four 20mm guns to engage and destroy the target. While the guns in US Navy service was considered unreliable, there are oddly enough few such reports from the Israeli Air Force. Rather, the airframes quirks were spoken of fondly as something to work with rather than being a hindrance. The gun sights especially were praised and similar systems would be installed in both A-4 Skyhawks and F-4 Phantoms after the war's end. On the 28th of November, a Ceasefire agreement was put into place with the Israelis making moderate land gains, gains that would lead to the 1978 Camp David Accords that became the first peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. On the 15th of December, surviving aircraft of Air Wing 21 left Israel and were flown by their air crews to the USS Intrepid on what would be the last cruise of the Essex Class Carrier with the pilots that no longer had airframes to fly were flown to the ship by Israeli Navy Helicopters. With the Crusaders showing wear and tear after both their Vietnam and Middle East adventures, the majority of them were destined to be scrapped. However, the Israeli Air Force intervened, purchasing ten airplanes with six being donated to military museums across the country and four others being positioned as Gate Guardians outside the Ramat David, Nevatim, Hatzerim and Hatzor Air Bases where they remain to this day. Even with Skyhawks no longer flying from the bases, pilots of the Israeli Air Force have come to regard the Crusaders with a reverence and it is not uncommon to see groups of pilots stand in silent attention in front of them before embarking on a mission. Participating in the cleaning and maintenance of them is also considered mandatory and a way to create good unit cohesion. It does however also make the pilots fiercely protective of their good luck charms. When the gate guardian of Ramat David Air Base was vandalised by a group of teenagers, the local air group intervened to provide a special punishment for the vandals; scrubbing hangars with tiny brushes with helpful suggestions of pilots and staff at the base. In the end, the מָגֵן of Ramat David seemed to be both forgiving and with a sense of humour as several years later, the teenagers would do their military service in the Israeli Air Force. All of the former vandals became aircraft mechanics at their own request, serving with skill and diligence at the Ramat David Air Base.

I was never really a fan of the Hornet. Somehow it managed to replace or outlast all the "cool" planes on Navy decks. A-7, A-6, F-4, F-14. Now with the F-35 coming online, there is a strange attraction to buy and build them. The EA-18G and the Black Knights F/A-18F are from F-Toys and come pre-painted. All you need to do is glue them and decal them up. Every single other example here is a Dragon/DML kit. Unlike other manufacturers, DML tends to give you enough bombs, rockets, missiles and fuel tanks to fill every pylon and then leave you a few more to add to other kits. They tend to be fairly priced and easy to assemble as well. While the shapes might be off on some of their early production kits, they have improved immensely. Does it look like a Hornet as I lay on my bed and stare at them on my ceiling? Yes!

Thanks, both of you. That must be what happened, then!
