Lots of heavy traffic at Travis AFB, latest WIP for the SW USA terrain...

USN "Razbam Raiders", Korea, 1951 (WIPing Razbam Skyraiders. New lines, rivets, paint, etc. So far not too happy with the results but at least the numbered decals work.)

Happy New Year! In Germany private fireworks is not allowed this year. Thatswhy i make this this virtual firework for you. May the health be with you!

Mirage F1C_RWR is uploaded and wait for approval. It takes place of the Mirage F1C_80 Happy new year !

Amazing...I always liked sharks,they should be left alone,its their home the sea,not ours. https://www.facebook.com/russ.morgan.5/posts/3559842284102954

This is the new test project, I will try to learn from it as I go along making this distinguished Boeing 707-320. I started yesterday setting up the blueprint in photoshop than in max, This is today's work, I worked about for 5 hours and this is what I got so far. I will try to make the KC-135 Stratotanker refueler too. Happy new year to you all. PS, what is the best method to cut the cockpit windows?

Kevin, Yeah, still a WIP. Probably always will be. The Razbam skin had the numbers on the tail, so I used that as a guide just so I could place decals if, when or as needed/wanted. I thought this model would take lines and paint better, but still not too bad for it's age. Not looking forward to the A-1E model. Probably should have tried it at a larger pixel size. Been trying to color coordinate my KAW USN 'Blues': The Skyraiders, Corsairs, Banshees and Panthers. Using Bobrock's great little Panther as a guide. Thanks for the offer but I have the Opsprey 'AD Skyraider Units of the Korean War' book. Love the color plates in the Opsprey series. Still got a way to go on this model. If only I could paint (especially weathering)! BTW, I'm using bits, such as decals, from your TW KAW Skyraiders as needed. Learning to make decals is on my bucket list. One for the Marines. And a cleaner 'modex' for the USN.

Thanks a lot for your support That a never ending project

The Launchpad and it's members wish a Happy New Year to all it's friends and the Combat Ace community. Let's hope that this year will be the turn around for the virus and we'll slowly start seeing improvements in our lives. Don't give up hope and make the best of what's to come, all the best to all of you. Stay healthy and safe! VBH

coming very soon... . no not a (Super) Tweet. the big guy with the doners

what he said. when i do the airliner tga, i google image search a decal sheet and tack it in, to get the spacing correct. windows themselves are usually down then copied (and copied again, and copied some more) and placed on a layer above the decal sheet.

windows I would paint on or copy real ones onto texture then bump map will make em look realistic

just about done with the Europeans. for these purposes Turkeys NATO membership in the late 80s early 90s qualifies em as Euro today lead is the crazy wingman. buzzing the hangars....... gawd, doing bare metal again. at least not doing camo stickers too......

The river Themse west of the City of London.

Thanks m8

Animals, even the seemingly smallest and simplest, are far more intelligent, sentient and self-aware than we give them credit for. And/or conversely, humans (at least the average ones) are far less intelligent, sentient and self-aware than we give ourselves credit for.

Geary: none of my books show modex numbers on the tailfins, not even at the very top (post-56 when gray/white came in, yes) Good job otherwise. The mapping on those, including the A-1E is a bit on the "odd" side, isn't it!!?? LOL. I have the Osprey KAW Skyraider book, it you need it --- required screenshot

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Wish everyone a better new year.

I have it. Works fine in WinX.

Hey Gepard, what do you think on make an overfly London video? Should be awesome!

many thanks. the dedication of you and your team keeping this beautiful plane updated is commendable

1. Am I still playing FE2 from time to time and still enjoying the sim? Yes. 2. Would I use the above mentioned terrain after a complete revamp? Yes.

Still a bit in experimental phase, but I'm surprised how well everything fits together (TOD's, my templates, the original tiles, etc.) ..hope you like it. Mind you...nothing promised yet ...

Just for fun : CT-155 ''Snowbirds'' scheme

low level through the harbor come on newbie, you'll get your ass shot off up there

we gotta Atlanta terrain hiding anywhere? hell. i've even been to Marrieta GA since kicking these off.... an aircraft from an older, less greyscale era not Atlanta crazy ass Ozzie wingman, flew about 50ft below me (can see him above at 10 oclock position

Yet another rework of this model........

Intruder Alert..

If you ever feel useless, remember that F-84F escorting a B-52D

Flew past this guy on the way back at what I thought was a safe distance. Obviously not. After some serious ducking, dodging, and flat out running, I got back.

Hunters.....Bf110-C on hunt..... Took me ages to figure why the engines wouldnt work....tried allsorts...I had forgotten to add fuel...lolz...NOOOOOOOB... got a few minor bugs to sort...actually in game the model is perfect....only thing was wrong apart from the fuel is wheel on port rotates wrong way...wing end on stbd need mapping adjusted a tad...and weaps sorted...

Thought I'd post a few more pics. here - using a generic, early MS G stand-in for the Bleriot - but have now flown the FM through a full, brief mission, patrolling around the Suez Canal (March 1915) - brief comments below, with pics. Von S Flight mates can keep up with you - I have given the "cover me" command prior to the pic. below, and it works well Doing a wide turn back across the canal as we pass 1300 m alt. Flight mate responds well to signal to go and land (recommended is not to give this signal below about 600-700 m alt., since the FM is for early war aircraft and pushes FE2 AI to its limits - with enough alt., the AI has enough time to prepare nicely to land the Bleriot) Almost at 2000 m alt. (took the entire patrol to get to that alt. - but is exciting to get that high in a Bleriot), as I do a wide turn from the other direction, and head to land at our field After landing, I did another couple of experiments (have read reports of Bleriots stalling and crashing after takeoff, after engine failure, and if the pilot was attempting a turn at too sharp an angle) - so I did just that, took off, flew a bit, and then turned off the engine as I was in a slightly steep turn, and climb - results in a strange stall that resembles a leaf falling And, depending on the physics that is at work during the stall, you may suffer structural compromise

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our Christian friends around the world!

A new Mirage F1 will be available soon !

Looks like the winter camo is pretty effective!

V2.0 of the Mirage F-1C-200 is uploaded and waiting for approval. As usual a little preview by Coupi
