Just heard the news and thought I would share. https://news.usni.org/2021/04/01/video-famed-wwii-destroyer-uss-johnston-discovered-4-miles-down https://www.navytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2021/04/02/wreck-of-uss-johnston-discovered-77-years-after-its-sinking-at-the-battle-of-leyte-gulf/

In reality the Yak-130 has no afterburner. So i think the model should have no afterburner too. BTW, not only the italian M-346, but also the chinese Hongdu L-15 is basing on the Yak-130 and looks very similar. What means you get 3 planes for one with the Yak-130 model.

Hi, Kevin what do you think? and just in case we don't have a harbor I made one.

Progress...

A Yak-130 model could also be used as the basis for the similar Aermacchi M-346 so you could get two planes for the price of one!

Hello everyone, I am working on a new menu for SF2. It is a slow WIP. I will share the progress here. For now, I have created two screens as my rough draft / conceptual arts. I am working on creating 3D looking buttons and Is still learning how to edit .ini files from various menu mods. I always wanted a Jane's Fighter Anthology style GUI / Menu for SF2. Now I have decided to give it a try! Here are screenshots SF2 Main Menu Mission Briefing (WIP, I am still tweaking and adding a few more items) Here are three versions of buttons: Regular, mouse hovering over it, and mouse clicking. Feedback are always appreciated.

Where it all started UK carriers we introduced along with catapault,arrestor cables and the meatball system though we didnt call it tha l;ol Great footage of vixens and scimitars taking off and retrievals..on good old HMS Hermes.....enjoy. keep in mind of its date hence the narrator lol

We are currently in beta test phase of our new WOFF BH&H II product and will announce a release date here and on our web site in the coming weeks! ...like two or more ..... In the meantime check out our website for some great vids, pictures etc. and here on CA in the WOFF BH&H II general discussion section! WM

paulopanz knows you can have more than 12!! Check that you a have a textureset.ini

I don't think that's it. I have 90 in my Mig-17F & 91 in my F-4B folder. It may be a typo some where. That's what I usually find as the issue.

thank you, keep up the good work.

That's what I had in mind. Look at Logan's MiG-Ye8 for example, it has that tail-bumper : [TailSkid] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=FALSE DragArea=0.0 IsSkid=TRUE NoContactOnGround=TRUE ContactPoint=0.0,-5.34,-0.7 MaxLoadFactor=0.5 As long as there's a mesh in the 3D model, or at least a shape of it, there's no problem to add it to any aircraft, like the Canberra / B-57. For the C-2, as it is an animated device, the shock/spring/damp entries should be used like Nyghtfall's example. The important thing not to forget is "NoContactOnGround=TRUE", or the wingmen will pile up on the runway after landing.

Why not just add an invisible skid? Just add this under the landinggear section of the planes data.ini and adjust the ContactPoint-values and it should work. luk1978 posted this as a solution for belly landings a while ago and it works very well. [Skid] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=FALSE IsSkid=TRUE NoContactOnGround=true HideGearNode=true ModelNodeName= ShockStroke=0.05 SpringFactor=0.2 DampingFactor=2.1 ContactPoint=-0.64,-2.5,-0.85 RollingCoefficient=1.0 MaxLoadFactor=25.0

I entered you in the ledger with the mentioned amount Sir for future plans! LOL

i have lost enough track of time this week with travelling, that i really was shocked in the first half. forgot that we're into April now that said, Erik i want my free flight that Skyviper expressedly promised us. pick me up next time youre at RDU

I will do that furled sails it is.

Another day sat in the office interacting with my work colleagues..

North American B-45D Tornado - 37th Bomb Squadron, 17th Bombardment Group, United States Air Force, 1952

Dear Pilots, Good news on all fronts this week as we continue our march towards completion of Battle of Normandy and ramp up work on Flying Circus II. We hope to have some pics of the first FCII plane, the Nieuport 28 soon for you, but today we’ll stick to WWII. As you already know, We have several aircraft in development and the closest, actually very close, to completion is the Spitfire Mk.XIV which is currently in beta testing. Below are a few pics. This plane is a beast with its Griffon engine and shooting down Doodlebugs with it is going to be a blast. Speaking of Buzz Bombs, our V-1 is going to be treated just like an aircraft. It will have a detailed damage model, so you can damage parts of it like the wings, the pulse-jet engine, the warhead (boom!) or if you’re talented enough tip it over with your wing! More on the V-1 as we develop it this summer. Next, we have some early pics of the very cool Me-410 ‘Hornisse’ and the Ar-234 jet bomber. The images speak for themselves. The Hornisse strikes me as the German response to the Mosquito no? Who do you think would win in a dogfight between a 410 and a Mosquito? Did they ever duel during the war I wonder? .In addition to new planes, we have made some tweaks to some of our oldest, namely our 109 series. When we overhauled the damage system several months ago, we had to make a temporary change to the 109’s tail assembly to avoid a bug that caused certain parts to stay attached to the plane after other damaged tail parts had been blown off. All 109s other than the E-7 was affected. The temporary change we made was to fuse the vertical stabilizer and the horizontal stabs making them one part which basically tripled their strength and the likelihood of them ever coming off was three times less likely, so basically never. To remedy this, we needed the model team re-build these tails and make a new failure point in the vertical stabilizer (like on the E-7) and break up this fused tail into their proper damageable and detachable sections. Remember that before we did any of this, the 109’s tail assembly was the ultimate ‘kill button’, push it and the entire tail would come off, not just part of a stabilizer like other planes. Of course, you can also just blow off the elevators and rudder if you hit them right. In the images below you can see this new reality in action during combat. I shot off the vert stab and rudder in one image and the horizontal stab and elevator in another. This should solve the so called “109 concrete tail” phenomenon. 109 tails now behave like all other tail sections in the sim. An. Petrovich Lead Engineer's Note: Initially, 3D models of all 109s except the E7 had the point of broken tail in such a place that the loss of the vertical stabilizer simultaneously led to the loss of the entire horizontal stabilizer. One successful shot in the vertical stabilizer could immediately deprive the plane of all its tail surfaces. Of course, it looked catastrophic (you called it "crystal tails"). And only in the E7 (as in all other aircraft in the game), the 3D model made it possible to separate the vertical stabilizer and the central part of the horizontal stabilizer separately. When we completely redesigned the damage system a few months ago, this limitation of the 109's 3D models did not allow us to fully correct the situation with the strength of their empennage, and we had to temporarily block the loss of vertical stabilizer for these aircraft. Although the aircraft could still lose the ends of the left and right horizontal stabilizer consoles, elevators or rudder. However, the fact that it became impossible for all Messerschmitts (except for E7) to shoot the vertical stabilizer and the central part of the horizontal stabilizer caused criticism from the players, and now the tails of the 109s were called "concrete". It was only possible to do it "right" by completely reworking the 3D models of these tails and adding a new break point on the vertical stabilizer (as in E-7). Which is what we did in the end. Work on the Tactical Codes feature continues and although we don’t have them working on all aircraft and vehicles yet, the technology works great and the images below gives and idea of how it will work and look. It’s not totally final yet so final result may vary a little. Work on the Dynamic Visual Damage system also continues and is currently being applied to our tanks. When it’s perfected on the tanks, we will then work to apply it to aircraft. Finally, in the next update we will include 4K skins for the Mc.202 and Ju 88 A-4 made by our talented partner Martin “ICDP” Catney. To celebrate this, I have made these interesting posters showing these new skins side by side. They make quite a colorful display. We hope to do this kind of graphic for all our aircraft eventually. Speaking of new skins, Martin is now working on 4K skins for the Spitfire Mk.Vb. This means both marks of Spitfires in Great Battles will now have 4K skins soon. The beautiful image below of the Macchi skins reminds me to say that I intend to make an Italian pilot for the 202 later this year. Similar to how we made the female Soviet pilot. The images below are 4K so you can re-size them and use as wallpaper is you are so inclined. Mc.202 Poster Full JU-88 Poster Full See you in the skies and on the battlefield!

Okay, I think I need to make these boats since I am working on the Vietnam boats to complete the set requested by Crawford

Hello everyone, Thank to the feedback from friends and the community, here are improved, finalized version of hangar screen and buttons:

Huey gunships..

some skinning progress

Ok I understand, I'll leave it alone. You just saved me from headaches trying to make 'filter' works. I will go ahead with simple methods by just editing aircraft's name in .ini files. By the way, for a bright side, I just began working on a new menu mods for SF2 with new GUI styles. I got inspired after seeing how the menu are set up, and I want to use my GUI design skills to make a new menu mod. If I ever get stuck, I'll post the questions in modding section. If it goes well later, I will post a mod here. For now, here is my rough design of the new menu, it is inspired by Jane's Fighter Anthology: Cheers!
