F-15EX

Yser canal and Nieuwpoort...well, what's left of it

Thanks @dtmdragon, look forward to flying the F-15EX in SF2! Here is a concept for the F-15 that sadly wasn't developed in the F-15SE Silent Eagle...

DUAL_MODE_JAMMER is the 3rd NOISE_JAMMER = reduces detection distance On player aircraft, target is invisible until radar strength overpowers jammer strength DECEPTIVE_JAMMER = denies/breaks lock Target aircraft is visible on the scope but cant be locked-up until rdr strength > jammer strength Dual mode combines N+D Only internal (aircraft data) jammers/ecm/decoys are functioning with AI planes (game bug)

well the Europeans are done. now on to las norte americanos/les nord-américains...

F1CZ updated to V2.2.

ready for a night mission

the winds are all CGI, so they're not "really real" actually, they're supposed to effect bombs, missiles and the aircraft, but I too have never seen it. it maybe as guuruu said.

Evasion.

Yes, it's just me, but altering the data.ini file by removing an erroneous value fixed it. So I guess when I downloaded the aircraft the file got corrupted in that mysterious way that they do.

um, since Day1, 2003 Jordi!!! next time your near an airbase, watch the windsocks, too (or any flags)

Mikoyan MiG-29A "Fulcrum-A" - 22nd Fighter Squadron, Croatian Air Force, 2013 Just before the fall of the Berlin Wall the Luftstreitkräfte der NVA (East German Air Force) took delivery of 20 MiG-29A and 4 MiG-29UB two-seaters. Following the reunification of Germany in October 1990 these MiG-29's were integrated into the Luftwaffe and were soon made NATO-compatible before being allocated to JG73 “Steinhoff” based at Laage Fliegerhorst. During the early part of 2004 JG73 began to receive the Eurofighter Typhoon and by August 2004 the last remaining MiG-29's had left Luftwaffe service for storage. After refurbishment they were sold to Croatia where the majority continue to fly operationally with the 22nd Fighter Squadron based at Pleso near Zagreb. Skin Credit: pappychksix

Flying artillery ...

In the absence of my preferred ride, the F-4, I have been mainly flying the F-86, MiG-15, F-5, MiG-19, and MiG-21. I also have some time in the F-14B, F-15C, F/A-18C, MiG-29, Su-27, and Su-33. But the arrival of the F-14A has provided a great stand-in for the F-4: its power to weight is comparable to the F-4, it can be carrier based, it has two seats, its intended mission was fleet air defense, and it can carry 4xAIM-7 + 4xAIM-9. While its performance is still a bit better than the F-4 (around 20% better), its relatively low power to weight gives it performance is about halfway between the F-4 and the other teen fighters. So if you don't use the AIM-54, the F-14A provides the closest experience to an F-4 in DCS World. Of course the swing wing and overall better aerodynamic design is what makes the F-14 a better aircraft than the F-4 with much superior high AoA behavior and low speed agility, so it isn't a perfect fit. The next closest DCS aircraft are the F-15 and F-5, neither of which are two-seat or carrier based. I would still prefer to fly the F-15 over the F-14, but despite finally getting a great flight model, the lack of full systems fidelity and a clickable cockpit limits how much I can enjoy flying it. The F-5 has performance that is very close to the MiG-21 (which means it is very close to an F-4) and its avionics/cockpit are very similar to an F-4. But it doesn't have AIM-7s and the F-4s strength in dogfighting was normally power-to-weight rather than agility, whereas the F-5 is more underpowered so it leverages its flaps to be more agile in the horizontal than its opponents. So the F-5 is not very good for simulating F-4 operation and air-to-air tactics. The F-14B is easily the most capable dogfighter in the game if you can handle not having fly-by-wire to keep you from getting into trouble, which is quite far from an F-4. It was the arrival of the F-14A that has finally given me something to enjoy until DCS gets a high-fidelity F-4. So, I have been almost exclusively flying the F-14A for about 3 or 4 weeks. I love carrier operations with the Supercarrier module. I have finally mastered air-to-air refueling. I got some online multiplayer guns only dogfighting in last weekend and found I really enjoyed struggling with the lower power to weight and poor roll rate, but still be able to get the win. I am having so much fun flying it, that I suspect it will remain my primary ride until something new comes along... like the F-8J Crusader, F4U-1D Corsair, or MiG-23MLA. Until some third party steps up to deliver an F-4, the F-14A is probably going to keep my attention for quite a long time.

I forgot about this "fort" (couldn't remember the terrains i'd used it on). I comes in several pieces, fortgatehouse, fortwall and fortturret. They can be overlapped with no visual in-game artifacts. For Dover, you'd still need a new, specific central building (keep?) I don't remember who built them originally, but the date from June 2005 and came for the 1st version of the SF1 North Africa WW2 map. But like everything else, they MUST be used on a completly flat surface. I've got lots of stuff, from varying sources; docks, piers, etc. Some are in the SF2 downloads, some not. If I can help, let me know!
