The C-133 Cargomaster takes to the skies for the first time on April 23,1956. It flies from the Douglas Plant in Long Beach, California to Edwards AFB.

For the bad one's...

Dassault Mirage IIIEG - 341 Mira, Hellenic Air Force, 1989 When Greece signed a contract for 40 Dassault Mirage 2000's in July 1985 Dassault cannily offered the Greek Government 12 ex- Armee de l'Air Mirage IIIE's to assist with the conversion to the delta-winged 2000C which led to a further order for 20 Mirage 2000's in February 1990. Entering service with 341 Mira in March 1987 the Mirage IIIEG's served until 1996. Skin Credit: FLT and Diabolico

cuz thats all 2d painting. i would like to work with 3d painting. 21th century is outside :)

Coming soon. A big thank you to swambast for working on the texture and adding more detail to the mode. It really looks amazing.

WOW !! Talk about making hard work for your self !!! However very cool bit of organisation I have to say. Well done, even if you are a little OCD, and nutty

I like to think the distribution of the Pfizer and Moderna Vaccine around the globe, as our great apology tour. Glad you're all vaccinated and hopefully soon we can return to some type of normal.

Hello everyone, I finally am able to finish working on this project. I owe big thanks to both Wrench and Menrva for the big helps. Because of them, I am able to solve the problems tweaking ordinances in SF2. Here are screenshots:

First test

I love THUNDER, and don't tell me I can't... Jane's USAF...back when you could multiplayer. I couldn't find my P-47 screenshot, so I will add this in its stead, after all. tis the Thunder!

View File SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack 4/19/2021 -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) **NOTE: this is for the British built versions -0NLY-!!** This is major upgrade of the Westland Whirlwind (piston powered) as released by Strahi. Please be advised, if you have the original download, you will unfortunately have to delete it from your mods folder(s). THIS version is highly modified, with many additional items. If left as "drag & drop" over the original, there will be conflicts that might be unresolvable. Thus, the need for complete removal of the original. This has been approved by Strahi, to whom I extend great thanks!! The following services/units are covered. The first listing is the name of the skin folder itself. The rest is the description you will see on the skin selection dropdown on the Loadout Screen: Royal Air Force: RAF1 - No.22 Sqdn, 55-62, overall yellow RAF2 - No.28 Sqdn, ?? date, Eurocamo* RAF3 - No.110 Sqdn, 1954, Kuala Lampur* JHU - Joint Helicopter Unit, HMS Ocean, Suez, 1956 Royal Navy: RN - 848 NAS, DGNB overall, early 50s RN2 - Ship's Flight, HMS Protector, 55-65, Antarctic Patrol RN3 - 848 NAS, HMS Bulwark, 1960s RN4 - 781 NAS, RNAS Yeovilton (Green Parrot) Suez - 848 NAS, HMS Albion, Suez 56 JRV: YU - Soko Whirlwind, Yugoslavian Air Force, 1961 *= be advised, these units MAY have had the later, turbine power marks. It's also possible some of those listed above, while still having serving piston-powered Whirlwinds, would have also recieved turbine power aircraft. The SF2 'date switch' is =NOT= used on any of the skins. I felt it would cause too many issues and confusions. Many painted on insignia and service markings remain as such. This is due to the minimal amount of meshes used to build the aircraft. All new serial number decals have been made for all included versions (up to 26 each). As is to be expected, while all are correct for the aircraft & services depicted, they are 'generic' in nature. When a unit's or service's serials HAVE been found, you'll see the star (*) in the number list dropdown. Decal randomization is TRUE. When possible, the RAF & RN squadron badges are used at the "patch" for viewing on the Loadout Screen On the aircraft selection drop down list, you'll see: Whirlwind HAR/HC (st) The (st) is for Strahi, and will diferentiate this Whirlwind for any others that may or may not exist. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Happy Landings!

Excellent. The Pfizer Vaccine is said to have a more mild second dose. I was given Moderna Vaccine and my second shot is in a few days.

I've recently noticed that the 2-seater flights are now longer taking off. I think it may be because the planes do not line up correctly, so, they don't move, as them may run into each other. I'm currently flying French, C-43, Champien field (Flanders), March 15, 1917. I actually transferred twice (from other Caudron escadrilles), but all of them had the same issue. I also had this issue as German. I notice that ALL planes in the squardon are assigned to each mission, and I think it's the "crowding" that forces this. Even if I take off, go on autopilot, and wait, I just fly around once, and return to the field. MAGNIFICENT GAME, running flawlessly! THANKS! V

I would like the community to help me find the countries that use the AN TPS-70 radar system, I have found only 4. USAF UAE Yugoslavia Greece

I would recommend that if you are going to report it to the devs, make sure you test it with "No Mods" active just to be sure it's not being caused by a mod. Best Regards

Great find thank you

looks like there is a reference to it being used by Serbia on Wikipedia and by Canada on twitter Canadian Armed Forces Operations on Twitter: "On May 15, #OpILLUMINATION came to an end. Since February, 30 RCAF personnel and the AN/TPS-70 mobile radar system have been deployed in Iceland to ensure long-range radar coverage while the Icelandic radars underwent scheduled maintenance and upgrades. https://t.co/U7IwwUdgxS" / Twitter and AN/TPS-70 - Wikipedia

Well, would you want to take off in that weather? The AI in BHaH2 is so smart that it knows it is useless to fly in pea-soup!

while making custom names for aircrafts is interesting (I am using this kind of sorting for at least 8 years now) not that I can not find aircraft I want to fly...It is just for having order in that damn list.. then making those weapon rename list seems to be futile...in case a new weapon will pop up...any time, your list will be old. Plus as Menrva said there are many copies of weapons added by many modders. It is a minefield. I use my 'naming way' for weapons also but in that case, I am trying to be short as possible Mk.82 500 lb Bomb....for me it is just 'Mk82. 500lb'.. it is obvious it is a bomb. I do not add Anti Radiation MIssile or Laser Guided BOmb to weapon name...it is too long in loadout menu.... at your list you have.... (SAM) "SA-N-3 Goblet" (RC / SARH) (M-SAM) "SA-8 Gecko Mod 0" (CLOS) those weapons are not displayed in the loadout list so skip it...they are used by ground/sea units. Just my 3 cents. But..enjoy game, keep playing ...then for sure you will move to other sorts of modding. Everyone started somewhere...Good that you like to work around the game environment also.

That's your main problem; there is no ultimate weapon pack. There's ravenclaw's Weapon Pack 2 (a version 3 is in the works) but there are many other weapon packs dealing with different ordnance and countries; rather often you might encounter different folder names and 3d models, but both refer to the same weapon type (some weapon mods feature Soviet missiles with NATO names, others feature them with their Soviet naming convention and outdated 3d models); you can even find things like R-552 and Matra550-2, but they are actually the same thing and only one should be featured. To make things worst, sometimes weapons which seemingly are copies of one another may contain specific station codes so that they are used only by specific aircraft, and so they may be needed. To make things even worse, you'll find weapons with alternative skins/camos, and copies and copies of rocket pods using alternative rocket types, and those usually are needed as well. IMHO, limit yourself to the stock weapons. If you plan to expand with custom weapons, it's a minefield. For the ODS mod we've released, we've spent much time removing any unwanted/double versions of the same weapon, and even now that we're working on a patch we find ourselves removing some, adding some, all while tweaking dozens of aircraft files as well. My point is, save yourself some trouble and enjoy the game, or you'll end-up in an exhausting loop at some point. Just for reference, in ODS we currently have 448 weapons. Imagine that number x2 or x3, considering all other time frames and conflicts featuring older and newer ordnance.

Thank you very much! :) Since I do this as hobby, it doesn't feel like a work for me. Hence, I enjoy doing this. Plus, as I rename each weapon, I google and learned a lot about them too. hence, it is a win-win situation.

i like it but you are setting yourself up for a massive amount of work, given how many weapons mods there are out there still interested to see how far you carry this.

I have added these two to my do list. since I have the basic model. M577 M113

Love it! A Mirage IIIE ground attack a/c with Super 530F capability! I guess it should have an upgraded radar to carry this missile! The interesting part is that Hellenic M2000s carried Super 530Ds from the mid 90s so the IIIEGs would have BVR capability years before the M2k! Waiting for release!

Wait, I thought once you got TrackIR, you always look back?!?

Dassault Aviation Mirage IIICX - 3 Staffel, Austrian Air Force, 1999 By the late 1970's it was clear that Austria's small force of sub-sonic Saab 105's were completely inadequate to defend Austrian airspace with reports suggesting that the Saab 105's even struggled to intercept stray business jets. In 1980 the Austrian Air Force announced a formal requirement for 30 modern fighter aircraft to replace the Saab 105's in the interception role from about 1985 onwards and allow the Saab 105's to remain in service as advanced training aircraft with a secondary surveillance role. In response, British Aerospace offered ex-Saudi Air Force Lightning F.Mk53's but the Austrian Air Force immediately rejected this offer due to the poor condition of the airframes and the Lightning's notoriously high maintenance costs. Saab offered Austria reconditioned J 35D Draken fighters and this appeared to be the front runner during 1981 but to everyone's surprise the contract for Austria's new fighter aircraft was awarded to Dassault Aviation for 30 refurbished ex-Armée de l'Air Mirage IIIC aircraft as the Mirage IIICX powered by the uprated SNECMA Atar 09K-50 engine developing 15,900lbs thrust in reheat. Entering service with 3 Staffel in April 1986 the Mirage IIICX's served the Austrian Air Force well and were eventually replaced by ex-Armée de l'Air Mirage 2000's during 2006-2008.

Thanks guys. Yor're right Nightfall, I wasn't the best to explain my "problem" The problme aren't the decals,I learn a bit how manage them ( more or less) , but the camo. The VF-41 line bird was in all gray TPS... ...while the Modex 100 and 101 was in LGG camo with tan radome tip and full color markings,but for this the problem was less important,cause despite the difference in the two grays I can live changing only the decals,after all are enough precise for me. For VF-84 he things are a bit more complex ( for me at least). The line birds But the CO and XO color bird,again, were in LGG full color markings,and there the differences are a bit more importants... Also, in the 1982, the VF-14' Modex 101 bird had a rattlesnake nose art, someone have a useful image to use for the decals? Anyway,thanks guys for lose you time with me!!!!

An excellent idea RJW - and also I include a couple of links below, for the convenience of WOFFers, to mods-related threads that are already under the technical section of these various threads and sub-threads. Perhaps there is a way of consolidating all of the mods-related threads, or at least to have one of the threads stickied, which then points to all of the other mod-threads and links. Cheers all (handy links below), Von S Becker's Mod-Compatibility Lists https://combatace.com/forums/topic/95976-woff-bhh-ii-mods-where-130421/ WOFF BH&H 2 Mod-Compatibility Lists, Mod FAQs, etc. https://combatace.com/forums/topic/95914-woff-bhh-2-mods-compatibility-lists-mod-faqs-etc/

The VF-14 is done. BUt I need to find where the tail RWR blister is on the skin maps, as actually block the red stripe But I discovered myself prey of the demon and started redo the skin of the various VFs of my mods; in fact despite great very few skins in the TMF F-14 Superpack is historically correct ( and this is more than logic, as the modders can't manage the single units's change of markings),and actually I started modify four Squadron. The real problem are the Nimitz 1986 F-14s. Both the suadron had the CO and XO planes as the color birds, but in the overall light gull grey and the line ones in TPS , and this made the work more hard, 'cause AFAIK the game engine cannot manage in a unit the change of skin but only the decals during a precise timeframe,and if for the VF-41 the problem is more acceptable as anyway the TPS is a overall grey,the VF-84 had the three tone grey TPS... Oh well,I need some compromise!

updating and adding more details

An-2 colts? The An-2 was adopted in bulk by both the Soviet Air Force and other Eastern Bloc military forces. It was first used in a military context during the Korean War of the early 1950s.[citation needed] The Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF) was another prolific user of the AN-2; during the Vietnam War, the service occasionally used the type as an attack aircraft. During the 1960s, a single An-2 that was attempting to engage South Vietnamese navahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2l units was shot down by a United States Air Force McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter, under the control of an Air Intercept Controller on the USS Long Beach.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2

Hi guys, I solved my issue with the VF-31. Simply , as something is in this cases, is my fault ( when stupidity reign supreme...). The mod have three Campaigns with VF-31/Forrestal, I simply added the skin to the wrong one; for any good count,now each one Campaign are with my skin, at wich I replaced my previous star&bar as I don't like too much. Also I've pratically finished the VF-32 skin

You're right Frenchie. Nothing of special but is a gap in the TMF pack and needed for the Campaign I posted above as the correct one. Unfortunately I can't add the small Felix on the external tanks as isn't build in the TMF model Also working on other two skin for the same mod, for the Indy Air Wing. The VF-32 with the less know and less glamorous markings And the sister squadron VF-14 wit these stars & bars with inverted colors Some time ago I've also realized the VF-143 correct markings for the early '80s

BF110G4 R2...Hauptman Peter Spoden... Reason why im doing his a\c is...saw him on D-Day and the Dambusters....he shot down in one evening 7 lancs.....intervied he was crying over the men that died...he said he tried always to shoot down a\c so crew would survive....what a gentleman...moved by his interview....so in respect to peter did his a\c....

On Friday morning, 19 July 1957, a USAF F-89J serial number 53-2547 under Project Plumbbob, launched a Genie MB-1 unguided rocket at an altitude 18500 feet over NTS Area 10. After reaching Mach 3 and traveling 4250 meters in 4.5 seconds its W-25 warhead was detonated by a signal from a ground station. The resulting explosive yield was 1.7 kilotons. MB-1 named Shot John was the first and only fired live, nuclear-armed, air to air anti-aircraft missile. real photo. Photo courtesy of National Nuclear Security Administration/Nevada Field Office.
