I'm loving the Adriatic terrain..

almost ready for mapping

reaching for the stars

and this F-4 Also, this plane is wonderful

Last in the the RuAF-only S, SM, SMT series. With extra Toplivo (fuel) in the Xtra-large spine. Unstable to fly and not liked by the pilots. They've decided to redo it, the result = MiG-21bis But yes, the look of it is monstrous Now, where is RussoUK .. he has the MiG-21 stuff..

Be warned though, it is harder on the system than current WOFF PE (can be mitigated somewhat by VonS GPU tuner), but I always found the title more prone to the micro-stutter than WOFF PE.

Microsoft Set To Purchase CombatACE It's no secret Microsoft is looking to expand its services and enhance overall user experience by purchasing companies such as Discord. While such moves may seem obvious to most, one move Microsoft is making has many in the tech industry wondering about the things Microsoft is planning next. To the members here at CombatACE are familiar with developers such as ThirdWire and Eagle Dynamics. Earlier this month Microsoft attempted to purchase Eagle Dynamics and take over the DCS World many have to come to love. However Eagle Dynamics told Microsoft to step off and tinker with their little flight simulator. Microsoft angrily shook their fist at Eagle Dynamics and then pointed to a lone developer somewhere in Texas and announced they would purchase his humble company called ThirdWire. When it comes to big companies like Microsoft purchasing companies like ThirdWire a lot of footwork is done. While doing their research Microsoft learned about other sites they can buy to enhance their user experience. CombatACE is the top of their list and Microsoft is pleased to see a humble community filled with amazing people, programmers, and mod developers. "It's like all these things we wanted rolled into one little package" said William J Tinsdale Vlll "CombatACE will make a fine addition to our collection." But what will this mean for the users at CombatACE? To answer that question we reached out to the man himself. @Erik "Well at first I was against it" Erik stated "We built a thriving community for ourselves and not some corporate giant just to come in and take over and do whatever they want with it." So, okay, so why is Microsoft buying CombatACE if that's the case? "When someone offers you a free slightly used $200 million private jet with a full crew, free fuel, and millions of dollars for the pocket. You just gotta ask where to sign you know. Besides do you know how hard it is to run a website as large as CombatACE on a daily basis? It's rewarding work but it's hard work and if Microsoft want's to take over I'm cool with that. This jet is awesome and I have a surprise for all of the long time members here. They can get 1 free trip." Looking nice there man! An inside look the dining area "Regardless of the direction Microsoft chooses to take" Erik explains "they've assured me they'll continue to maintain the aspects that make CombatACE a great website. It is my hopes the community will continue to thrive and that people will get a kick out of this obvious April Fool's article entirely made up by Skyviper" Seriously @Erik, @MK2 , Mod Developers, CombatACE Staff and Members, thank you for making this site the awesome place it is.

Here's my theory. A joint strike task force headed by the DGSE with support from MI6 and the CIA confiscated the file. Years of surveillance and counter intelligence went into the planning of mimicking the 2Checkout site and making it look official. The file will be on sale next month in street side merchant kiosks in Pakistan for the low low price of 5000 Pakistani Rupees. I could be wrong and it's just a guess. I'm sure Polovski and the entire team is just as "not happy" about this as you. I read somewhere they were planning an April 1, 2021 release and I know they worked really hard toward that goal. Sit tight gents and remember a watched pot never boils. Cheers!

the F-105G Its very,VERY beautiful

Looks and fly’s fantastic, AI is typical OBD (excellent),FM? I personally like the FM,also really good DM. Campaign mode at the moment it’s Battle of Britain only so shorter in length than WOFF but it is Harder on HW than WOFF like Redwolf has mentioned, 3 flyables..the Spit, Hurricane and Emil. Large quantities of craft in the air (can be toned down). Historically accurate skins, great workshop settings, also like WOFF fantastic immersion. Devs are planning to Work on WOTR after BHaH II is released,it’ll get better and better over time. And..29.99 The Spit for MSFS 2020 alone is something like 25.99, so if you’ve got the system for it then imo it’s a steal.

In a word, or rather two words, Yes and Yes.

Without american technic like planes and tanks and without the help of the american air bridge, which carried thousands tons of supply, Israel would have lost the war. It would run out of ammo, fuel, spare parts and it would not get fast replacement of shot down or damaged planes. Not to speak about the american pilots which had flown combat missions for the IDF. To survive Israel would have be forced to use its nuclear weapons.

Tomorrow the project begins! I will keep you up to date, when I receive data about it.

yes.

Coupi, I would add the MiG-21U/US/UM to your MiG-21MF/bis wish We do have one already, but its age is rather obvious already.

I like WOTR, particularly so because I tend to avoid mid- and late-WW2 sims. since I don't have enough free time for those - so the BoB scenario of WOTR Phase One fits really well with my sim. interests - you get to fly the early WW2 'crates which still have that inter-war feeling to them - some wood construction, some metal, etc. (this is particularly noticeable with the Hurricane Mk.I). The flying is very nice, and with my WOTR GPU Tuner Patch injected via JSGME the FPS stay healthy too (around 70 fps or so) (https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4507751/gpu-tuner-patch-for-wotr#Post4507751). Also possible to install is XJouve's improved mesh terrain (bumpmapping), ver. 2.0, giving nice hills and undulations (https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4526713/xjouves-terrain-mesh-water-map-for-wotr-tips#Post4526713). I have yet to fly campaigns in WOTR Phase One (have been in quick combat mode so far) - but the AI is of the same high quality as in WOFF. I recommend checking over the WOTR forums on SimHQ for comments/questions, such as this thread (https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4524707/1), to get a better sense for that sim. Happy flying, Von S

Dear Friends! Today’s DD is not long, but wanted to say that in addition to working on many aircraft, features and improvements, we’re also making some moves internally with the addition of, and search for, new personnel while adding responsibilities to others. This adds overhead costs to our operation which we hope will pay for itself in time, but we ask that you continue your financial support of Sturmovik throughout this spring and summer and al of 2021 by purchasing new content and buying gifts for your friends, family and squadron-mates. And please remember, purchases made directly in the IL-2 Official Webstore benefit the team the most! Without further delay, here are the first pics of the work-in-progress Nieuport 28.C1 for Flying Circus: Volume II. The N28 drafts the U.S. Air Service in the war and her slender lines make her a real beauty. Also notice our new Tactical Codes technology is present. The damage model is next up for her as well as DVD adaptation. …. Geronimo!!! No invasion of Normandy can be complete without paratroopers! These guys will be jumping from our C-47s later this year after they are properly animated. Enjoy your Easter weekend if you celebrate it and see you in the skies and the battlefields! The Sturmovik Team

When you see all the confusion about MiG-21 designations including Third Wire games, you have to remember, prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, MiGs were classified visually into their NATO designations: i.e. Fishbed C, D, E, J, L, N etc. Letters were assigned as new visual differences appeared. So a Russian variant and its export might get the same letter because they looked the same even though they may have significant internal differences. Likewise, two variants that were very similar but had some major visual change would have different letters. What little that was reported on actual Soviet designations was confusing in the West. After information became available, documents continue to mix up old NATO guesses for Soviet designations versus actual designations. Add to that the fact that the MiG factory had their own production series numbers for variants independent of the Soviet government's official MiG designation. As someone who grew up with the NATO designations, a MiG-21F and MiG-21F-13 were indistinguishable: both were publicly known as MiG-21F Fishbed C to me and in fact, I didn't know about the original production variant until maybe the late 80s/early 90s. Among the Third Wire designations, the one reflecting the most confusion from my perspective is the MiG-21PFV. There was no MiG-21PFV. The Vietnamese flew the same export variants of the PF series flown by other clients. Russian sources don't note any special version with a "V" for Vietnam or some customization used by Vietnam. The extra letters usually annotate some sort of weapon, sensor, or propulsion upgrade.

Quick and dirty mod of the stock Yom Kippur campaign. Replaced Phantoms by Shahak (Mirage III CJ), Skyhawks by Super Mystere Saar and american tanks by british. Have fun.

Not sure i understand. The F-4 could get updated ECM gear, while i doubt a Mirage could have been updated that way. Indeed, IIRC, the IDF used their Mirage and Neshers for air superiority, but that doesn't mean Phantoms wouldn't normally beat MiG-21s. On the other hand, Mirages can't carry as much explodey stuff for Air to Ground

I can’t personally see you having any problems with that rig mate, you might possibly have to turn a few settings down, WOTR is really good in that regard but.. Keep scenery at 5 to see the white cliffs etc. I honestly believe that more optimisation will come in the future regarding WOTR, I’ve had no issues on a i7 4790k (slightly faster single core) than yours, 16gbRam and. Evga ftw 1070,

Well, sounds pretty good then. Thanks for the replies, yall. Might just look into buying it after BH&H2. Reckon I5 9400F 4.4Hz, GTX 1660 (6 GB), 16 DDR4 RAM would do semi-alright with it or am I lacking?

I don't know if it could have been doable, but perhaps some sort of Mirage IVJ, or Jaguar J? Without the Phantoms, they would need something beefy to carry a lot of bombs and ECM gear. A Mirage 5 with the fuel tank/bomb rack convo could have helped, though. Edit: It would have been a very, very long shot, but imagine Viggens. Edit2: Also, G91s

IDF's half aircraft looses happened in the first 4 days of the conflict. Arabs had made a quite effective SAM umbrella protecting ground forces. The combination of SA-6/ZSU-23-4 proved very deadly as these systems shot down at least 50-55 IDF aircrafts mostly A-4s and F-4s. Keep in mind that these aircrafts were the main attacking force of IDF, so without the Skyhawk and Phantom replacements from US surplus, IDF's attacking force would have been dramatically decreased. Later on, IDF developed tactics to limit SAM effectiveness and they partially succeeded although SAMs kept posing a significant threat. But I agree with Gepard, without US help it would be just a matter of time to run out of ammunition, spare parts etc.

Version 2 !

I like version 2

Super Galeb attempting to penetrate the No Fly Zone..

Yak-130 is an interesting subject of modding ! However my dream for SF2 would be a brandnew MiG-21MF/bis or a refurbished Su-27S... P.

Here is a new LOADOUT screen. Feedback are appreciated as always.

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
