USMC Coin Ops

I never thought I'd see those two words in the same sentence

Taken from Midland Publishing...Luftwaffe - Secret Projects- Fighters 1939-45....well worth checking out. Suprising how much was made under countries names like UK Russia and USA when most are from captured German projects etc...after 1944\5 and this is just tip of iceberg...no wonder project "paperclip " was so important. name but few Mig15 Vampire etc were created directly inspired from German plans etc....influenced at least.

Douglas F-91B Skyshark - 36th Fighter Bomber Squadron, 8th Fighter Bomber Wing, USAF, 1953 The outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 came just one month after the first flight of the Douglas A2D Skyshark. Even before the Fall of 1950, the USAF could see that it had aircraft to suit every combat role except for the crucial close air support role where it had nothing inbetween the shiny new jets that were short on range and the F-51D Mustangs of WW2 vintage that were short on payload. A USAF evaluation team quickly studied a minimum change version of the Douglas A-1 Skyraider that was by now the backbone of the United States Navy carrier-based attack squadrons having exceptional payload ability and a very long range - indeed, some combat sorties were up to 10-hours long. However, the USAF evaluation team expressed concern that combat reports of these long-range missions constantly referred to pilots literally being dragged out of their cockpits such was their fatigue. In conclusion, the USAF evaluation team considered the A-1 Skyraider to be a good interim machine but recommended a faster follow-on aircraft that still had the A-1's exceptional payload ability. Whilst the USAF were aware of the development problems of the turbo-prop powered Douglas A2D Skyshark they considered that it was a better prospect than any clean sheet of paper project and urged the Department of Defense for more funding to fix the A2D's problems. This re-ignited the United States Navy's interest in it's own program and the resultant joint campaigning effort resulted in more funding for an ambitious accelerated program. With the USAF having withdrawn the A (attack) designation in 1947 the USAF version was confusingly designated F-91* and the prototype YF-91 (converted from the third A2D-1) first flew on July 31st, 1951. Development and testing moved ahead smoothly during the remainder of 1951 and early 1952 with an initial production batch of 12 F-91A's entering service in August 1952 with a joint-service test and evaluation squadron based near the Douglas facility at El Sugundo in California. The main production version was the F-91B which entered service in February 1953 with the 36th Fighter Bomber Squadron temporarily detached to Itazuke Air Base in Japan before deploying to Suwon Air Base, South Korea to commence combat operations in March 1953. Operating in the night attack role the 36th Fighter Bomber Squadron primarily flew bombing and strafing missions against enemy air fields but in May 1953 the 36th succesfully attacked the Kuwonga, Namsi and Taechon Dams. * There's no need to point out that there was a real F-91 (the Republic Thunderceptor) there's not many spare designations in the 'F' era before the Century Series.

WIP BF109-F2\4 Oblt. Josef "Pips" Priller, 1./JG 26, France, 1941

Slapped a bit of green and grey paint onto the static Chinook and Puma to give them more of an '80s RAF camo feel..

Vickers Vengeance. or........ Vickers Viagra ...why ?...because when it gets going it goes straight up... :P

VonS (and everyone else involved) thank you for pulling all of this together. The amount of work you did, researching and organizing, must have been phenomenal.

Geezer's work was indeed stellar - top-notch stuff. I was particularly hoping to see the MS Type I and the Bleriot completed, but no word from him on the forums since last year I think. Hope he's doing well. I remember that he was interested in switching over to the Unreal engine for static battle displays and things. Maybe he'll catch the FE2 bug again and visit us sometime. No matter what WW1 sim I fly - FE2 is always my go-to sim for quick combat and good single missions with variety. (There is a Breguet XIV that Geezer was also working on - but it's largely in "alpha" or early beta stage, with several things that were never completed on it. The Junkers J.1 on the other hand, as a model, is pretty much complete - as is the FM on it that I did a couple of yrs. ago - but it lacks a skin. I think that Crawford was working on a skin - but we decided that the Junkers is not really a priority aircraft at this point in time for FE2, so I haven't checked into its status. The N28/28a in the consolidated package is pretty much complete - although there are some oddities with the prop. disc. at various speeds - possibly something that needs tweaking with that model further, since we weren't able to do anything in the data ini to fix the oddity.) In terms of my FM update packs, most of the important aircraft have been tweaked - I will however look at the Snipe and Stephen's Halb. CL.II, and ver. 3 of the Sikorsky S-16 in the future, and I think there was a Pomilio also by Stephen that I never looked over, as well as implementation of Crawford's camera tweaks on the Elephants - maybe for a ver. 10.0 of the FM pack. Then I'll individually touch on FMs after that should any new aircraft be released for FE2. Maybe Stephen has some surprises in his FE2 factory. Happy flying all, Von S EDIT: for those following this thread, Geezer's "nearly complete" FE2 aircraft have all been zipped up as a big, consolidated folder (with all latest updates included), and now located towards the bottom of page 25 of this thread - the old links spread across pages 17, 18, 23 of this thread have been deleted since it was a hassle to find everything and keep up to date with the installs. Hopefully the all-in-one package will rekindle interest in FE2.

I’m going to assume the other stuff geezer was working on is no longer something we can expect. I assume that he’s not coming back like last time he left the community. Sad his work was outstanding and I had been watching that Bleriot with barely contained excitement.

All-in-one "consolidated" folder available at link below, for more convenient download of Geezer's aircraft previously spread out across several pages of this thread. Included now are all relevant updates in one place. Recommended for general info. is nonetheless to glance at the older posts, linked to two posts above this one (all old download links have now been removed, with exception of the Caudron R.11 individually posted by Geezer and also included in the "consolidated" folder). Happy flying, Von S GeezersNearlyCompleteModels_Consolidated.zip

THANK YOU

First try to make a german fighter airfield.

RAF Christchurch with de Havilland Airspeed Factory. I used a moded version of Geezers Factory2 for WW1 to make this factory complex.

Silver Dollars...redid stock silver Mentor...and decs (all decs apart from fuse Stars n bars.....few more decs to make and can release w\e just noticed the extra A lol

airfield recce in Iceland boss is gonna be mad if his bird gets hit nice view, but shouldnt we get back on the deck?

you saying she was a dog m8 lol?..... req`d screen

Crate Expectations

Smokin' Hot

Ooops! Should have read the dress code...

allen: yes, I've already done that. Via hex editing and bmp renaming. I'll pm what I have to you in a day or so ----- required screenshot -- albeit the aforementioned Seakings, although through the TAE view. You can see 3 different Seakings

Decided to swap a few skins into the static helicopters... Royal Navy Helicopters at RAF Canopic in Desert4 Ideally I need different Wessex and Seaking statics at the Dhimari airbases so they can use different skins. Any thoughts on how to achieve this? RAF Helicopters at Lossiemouth in PR_UK
