So thanks to Crusader specially, but also Piecemeal, UllyB, Wrench, and Ravenclaw, I managed to pimp my ride and get a vector RWR on Mirage5SDE. Here seen attacking a California class cruiser, the vector is pretty useful to guide you since it tells you where the "radar love" comes from. I would have likely taken that little rascal from another ship Or the next one, splashing here.

Enhance Plus 2 (yes coming soon, and got 29 USAF serial matched to VNAF, plus US identities and fates for the 37 Herks involved with the Không lực Việt Nam Cộng hòa

2 weeks

excellent! (I was thinking of the french ones in Indochina & post-45 USN) my books say they could carry torpedos, but I don't think they did operationally

i thought the BUFFs were supposed to take 33 sorties to Hanoi, not get bombed on 33 (beer) in Saigon....

For those who like new retro and aviation animation. Enjoy !

Nice song, but I had seen the original video before:

esto es lo que hay por el momento, plantilla tiene una blanca pero los tonos de azul negro ya los pinte, el azul oscuro completo sirve para los modelos franceses, y quizás algún modelo anaranjado para blancos de misiles. Nunca se resolvió el problema de cabeceo /alabeo ya que utilizo el data del B-24 Liverator, artilleros de los laterales no disparan ( o nunca tuvieron la oportunidad como en el video). El cokpit es el clásico de b-17 con algunas texturas nuevas, El armamento aparte de los bombas misiles Bat , bombas comunes igual que un b-24, desconozco si se utilizaron torpedos o otro armamento especial

I'm working on a minor update. First: correcting the typo in folder Groundobjects, which must be Groundobject. Second: tactical numbers for the tanks, beginning with the german vehicles: Third: i try to mod the missionscontrol.ini file in a way, that the Hurricanes does not crash a half squadron while takeoff. Me-109 and Spitfire does not have this problem. Dont know why.

I'll be needing a new paintjob...

Have we ever discussed the posibility of setting up an integrated air defense system incorporating tech from both? It might be a more evident issue with the latest volley attacks out of Gaza, but I had been thinking about something like that for Seoul for a while.

Attention Pilots! It is our pleasure to announce some new Collector Planes for the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series! We are still waist deep in Battle of Normandy and Flying Circus Vol. II development, but we have decided to push on with our partner Ugra Media and bring you a few more iconic and important aircraft! The following planes have long been discussed as possible projects or desired by community members and now we are able to make the commitment to build them. So, without further delay here they are. - C-47A Skytrain - Lisouov Li-2 (Soviet version of the DC-3/C-47) - Sopwith Snipe 7.F1 - Siemens-Schuckert D.IV First, let’s cover the C-47A. We already have the C-47A as an AI piloted aircraft in Great Battles. Many of you have requested that we make a cockpit for it and make it flyable, so we are. This will give the Americans and British a cargo plane, much like the Ju-52 on the German side. The Ju52 has been a good seller for us and a unique experience for fans of IL-2. We want to do the same with the C-47. The C-47 is the military version of the venerable Douglas DC-3 which first took flight in the 1930’s and served all over the world during WWII and very far beyond. Most notably it was the main troop transport for American and British paratroopers during the invasion of Normandy. As you have seen in an earlier Developer Diary, we have already built some awesome looking U.S. Army paratroopers that will jump from C-47s in BON. We are also making British paratrooper models as well., but they are not ready to be shown yet. The C-47 will provide a great new way to fly for the Allies. Work on the C-47 cockpit has already begun so we have decided to open Pre-Orders today as is our tradition for new Collector Planes in development. Please show the ‘Gooney Bird” your love! Pre-Order is available in the IL-2 Official Webstore for just $19.99- a 20% discount off MSRP. Second, let’s talk briefly about the Lisunov Li-2. The Li-2 was a license-built Soviet version of the DC-3/C-47. It served bravely over the Eastern Front with the VVS and was even used as a bomber by the Soviets. Although it is seemingly identical to the C-47 it does have several differences, so extra work is needed to convert our C-47 into an Li-2. Our partners Ugra Media will begin this work once the C-47 cockpit is well in-hand. The Li-2 had different engines and cowlings, different instruments, a different cargo door and other small changes. Some also had a dorsal mounted gun turret for self-defense. The Li-2 will be a welcome addition to our Eastern Front themed titles. We will offer the Li-2 for Pre-Order as soon as work has officially begun in earnest. The C-47/Li-2 holds a special place for us because it represents cooperation between the old Soviet Union and the USA, which for a team of Russian developers and an American producer is a historical metaphor for our own team. Next, we will also partner with Ugra Media to create the British-built Sopwith Snipe 7.F1 fighter. The Snipe was a late entrant into the Great War, only coming to front-line service in the Summer of 1918. However, it was a successful aircraft and helped the Entente fight off the of the terrific late-war German designs in the final months and weeks of the war. The Snipe will be the first truly new WWI aircraft we committed to in a long time and this will bring a new combat experience to Flying Circus Volumes II and III. Pre-orders will be available once the Snipe has entered production. Finally, Ugra Media will build a late-war German fighter as well – that being the Siemens-Schuckert D.IV. Like the Snipe it entered the war late, but was a terrific design and will be a deadly opponent for the Snipe and other Entente fighters. This plane will be a challenge to make as references are tough to come by and we don’t believe any original examples survive today. However, we love a good challenge and plan to make this bird take flight just like all the rest. It’s interesting to see the similarities of the Snipe and SS.DIV designs with their compact bodies which we would image makes them quite maneuverable. When work begins, we will give you a change to pre-order the SS.DIV. All of these new planes do not have an impact on current development timelines for BON or FC2 and FC3 as we have been planning to make these aircraft for a while. We will work once again with our long-time partner Ugra Media to bring them to life in another team effort, much like we did for the famous U-2VS. We hope you enjoyed hearing this news and we look forward to bringing these fantastic aircraft to the Great Battles series! See you in the skies! The Sturmovik Team and Ugra Media

The 4 numbers are on here.........as the rest will be when they happen Go here and advanced Search -> Airforce -> Civilian https://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16

Data ini - make sure that the DetectSystem section has the line HasRWR=TRUE And the Freq min/Max values for your rwr I moved your inis (renamed) into the IIIEL, made the changes to the RWR texture like described in my other post, and modified the DetectSystem. Result is a complete RWR.

Hi all, I've created MODs to change the menu music in WOFF. There is a German version which is now on Sandbaggers site here https://thatoneplease.co/WOFF.html The mod replaces the 'MenuMusic' files with various marches, songs and speeches from WW1 for a bit of added immersion. No other sound files are changed. British and French mods will be available very soon and I'm creating an American one too. Enjoy Albert

i wont claim to monitor it, it just pops up in my FB feed all the time. hunted thru several articles to find the info in that one (ok 30 second scanning for the info desired)

Thanks for the info, I was aware of it as I monitor THE DRIVE also. Will have to wait and see if any more registrations are declared !

only if you want the visible gauge. otherwise, you can have the simple "audio only" that just beeps when scanned, and goes to a higher PRF when you're locked up. And you should probably use the vector type; i don't know of any real aircraft that use the SF1 style "3 ring" (although there probably were ....) === when I added the RWR to the F-104G cockpit, I just told the cockpit ini to use the secondary ADI face... now if I can just find which mods folder HAS that modded one ....

Yeah I did but I will fix that next update I think, maybe

Been looking around, but I can't find any source with citations that mentions these two as knowing each other, or any of the other pilots you mentioned. The only cited sources I can find say she learned at the Caudron School in France. Also, I find no source that mentions Bullard being involved in aviation at the time she was learning to fly, he had become a jazz musician, and was trying to acquire a bistro.

So, to have a working RWR to an aircraft cockpit that misses exactly that you need to do this: - find a convenient board instrument to be replaced by your RWR - you must modify in cockpit.ini the lines for that change I mentioned above. - in avionics.ini, just copy a modern aircraft RWR section (not the audio one only). if you want to be historical accurate, replace from an old F-4. Pay attention what AvionicsXX.dll that aircraft uses also.

Was refering to the modern PLAANAF versions, with different nose.

And don't forget this one (or do I have to get my paintbox out again?)!

Why do people think adding hip-hop regardless of context or content will make a vid cool ? 🤮

Will we get chinese Xians as well?

Hi all, a new update for WOFF to V1.12 is now available. Version 1.12 24 May 2021 1) Fixed a ground unit collision avoidance issue for aircraft that are Going Home or RTB. 2) Removed some Telephone poles from a/g_generic_3 type Airfield facilities that would sometimes cause a collision avoidance issue with landing aircraft. Please see our Website for details. Thanks to AlbertTross for the image!

added the skid first, and removed the hit box from the tail section. just so everyone knows, the statements listed above were taken right from the 3W Hawkeye, upon with the Greyhound is based

Add a "skid" entries on tail to avoid any damage.

Try set to 0 or increase ... depends on results . Cm= '+ ' <--- nose up Cm= ' - ' <--- nose down For example, this helicopter flap device for vertical take off, additionally downing nose : [TakeOffLiftDevice] SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE CLiftdc=3.3 CDdc=0.25 Cmdc=-0.085 DeltaStallAlpha=-7 AreaRatio=1.0 DeploymentMethod=MANUAL_WITH_BLOWBACK Setting[1].Angle=20 Setting[1].DeployValue=1 Setting[1].RetractValue=55 MaxDeflection=20.0 MinDeflection=0.0 ControlRate=0.1

F-104G with 4 x LAU-51A

CAS, then spring cleaning of the area. 48 Helfires is lot of demolition .

it needs to fix Control Surfaces Flaps section ControlRate=0.2 lower nose =0.3 higher nose. for example. not this data. needs to try

So am I...

Very interesting... I'm a firm believer that these things have existed and have been visiting us for many years.
