Busy day at Ataturk Airport as the summer holiday season gets underway... (I needed a short break from combat missions without re-installing installing FSX) Do we have any other civilian airports with terminals/gates on any of the other terrains?

Deliveries were made from october 1960 to november 1962. Here is a list of squadron with operational dates on Mirage IIIC of the Armée de l'air : Escadron de Chasse 1/2 Cigognes (july 1961 - october 1975) Escadron de Chasse 2/5 Île-de-France (july 1966 - 1975) Escadron de Chasse 2/10 Seine (july 1969 - may 1985) Escadron de Chasse 3/10 Vexin (1978 - may 1985) Escadron de Chasse 1/13 Artois (january 1962 - 1965)

Hello ! From 1962 to 1988 I think. P.

For years now I've been using Maxon Cinema4D, don't be confused by the name it has capabilities to paint in 2d and 3d , works with layers and will save your results as .psd, jpeg etc. I only use it on heavily distorted meshes or to line up the panel lines/camo where I don't have the original max files at hand but you can import photoshop brushes into the programme which make using your custom brushes a bonus. Iv'e really only ever scratched the surface on what it can do though. Other than that I'm stuck in the 20th century with the old panel finder and Mues lod viewer...

checking the game's user list should always be the 1st option (most of the time, they're actually pretty close!) straight from the M3C userlist ini: [France] ServiceStartYear=1961 ServiceEndYear=1988 Availability=RARE I can't believe RARE is correct!!!

Here's an interesting little film worth the watch... Jasta 9 (look for the improvised mudguards) Please follow the link https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de//item/DBRSM5WULV6Y57XEH7L3QHMNHFE3KSON

Check Mirage IIIC and Mirage IIIB..... "A total of 95 Mirage IIICs were obtained by the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air, AdA), with initial operational deliveries in July 1961.[21] The Mirage IIIC remained in service with the AdA until 1988."

Rockwell Valkyrie SR.1 - No.543 Squadron, RAF Strike Command, 1969

Nice one Trooper. I've seen bits of it before in WOFF I think. But one can never have enough original clips of WW1 can one? The DII is a magnificent beast. Some say the peak of Albatros design, after which the sesquiplane configuration produced it's own problems. I like the three chaps having a smoke and a laugh. Probably about Fraulein Helga and her boudoir tricks. Remembering of course, that in those days you were allowed to smoke and laugh at the same time.

Going Dutch...

Sukhoi Sunday/Swing-Wing Saturday cross-over..

Fuel tank in russian language is "toplivnij bak". The TB in PTB-450 could stand for it. But i have no idea for what the P is standing.

The first versions of the Mi-24 could be equipped with internal auxilary tanks with 825 litres each. It were simply two barrels with fuel which were placed in the cargo bay. From version Mi-24P and V the heli could carry 4 external fuel tanks under the hardpoints of the stubwings each tank contains 425 litres. The external fuel tanks were used for ferry missions only. During combat missions no external fuel tank was used. The type designation of the fuel tank i cant found. But along with soviet terminolgy i wuld call them 425 Liter exterlan fuel tank for Mi-24. (BTW the same tanks are used on Mi-28.)

I wonder if it could have been part of the Iran-Contra affair, after all Iran still received American equipment such as MIM-23 Hawk launchers back then.

Nice! Go to bed!

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

Polish Heavy Metal...... Love the sunrise takeoffs................... Now id I can get in and out before those beastly Americans show up and spoil everything...........

It was actually with the C-295, since they stopped using CN-235s for paradrops before i got in and these were put to work with not-living cargo only, but yes, more or less. I was so happy with the C-130, and then "Hey, look, T.21s (C-295) are so comfortable, and jumping from the ramp is so much better than jumping from the side door" No issues with the boundary layer dragging your teeth across the fuselage. I had a watch with air superiority grey paint scratched from a C-130, so it was a legitimate concern. Well, screw ramps. The issue is i got scared shitless /air sick/ freaked out jumping from the ramp, even if i was perfectly OK hanging out in the side door waiting for the green light in a C-130. With the ramp, i would always flinch, then slip, fall on my ass, have my MG bouncing against my head, smash knees and elbows on the floor, or any combination of the former. Everyone else was cool, and they were better for the specific job in most senses than C-130, they could drop the sticks tighter, less incidents, more comfort, stability, you name it...it was just that i hated it.

"Ahhhh, Med cruising....Nothing like it. Come for the sun & relaxing atmosphere, stay for the missile shots."

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

@Geary Just to check, you are putting things into the mods folder at "C:\Users\"UserName"\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2" and not the main folder at "C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2" correct? I have attached my effects folder with an adjusted MissileObject.ini file. Backup your effects folder and give mine a try. My Effects folder.7z Also, I have attached some smoke rockets for you to test. Smoke Rockets.7z
