ODS 30 Anni , helicopters pack progress ;-)

A new update for realSKY is in the works; fixed night ambient colour being too dark, slightly tweaked cloud textures from Cellinsky's Widesky mod, brand new sun flare, different space sun flare, smoother rainbow ring flare and newly recoloured Stary's original lens flare drops. Last but not least, a new experimental shader providing a minor bloom at daytime with Effects set to Unlimited, in place of the original blinding effect at dawn/dusk by TW. New horizon glow, fog and ambient colours, with reworked bloom shader. New sun and reworked lens flares, bloom effect being visible only with exterior views (thank your cockpit glass for not blinding you). Extra shots at high altitude, with new space sun flare textures.

Need to work on the coffee tap. lol

never sweated so much on landing gear animation

New update for the M577 with command tent.

15th FG

Sunday suprise, awaiting approval at 12MB, it might be my smallest mod ever

Definitely just wanted to punish my staff lol 😆 Table is also comeing with a second water dispenser. ;)

Sound great I need to go back to my old models as they are in need of some fixing up as I have somewhat improved my modeling technique.

coffee stand stoffee shmand they get good old US Army hobo coffee, just like the rest of the joes. boiled with the grounds in the 15 gallon pot, then 2 quarts of cold water to sink the grounds to the bottom. darker than motor oil, and enough caffiene to have you hearing the color purple on the midnight to 0400 radio watch ok, so yes the coffee that would be where the Colonel, First Sergeant and Sergeant Major (in ascending order of importance) are get the grounds strained out better. keep the big dogs happy and the cooks can get away with more in the field

You know what that is a good idea lol I need to add a coffee stand for the Major and his crew.

I will try to give it a try as I have model it along time a go for my friend in janes fleet commander but it was a low-poly .

Outstanding you are the man my dear friend.

You mean like this..?

i love this NF-5A , what a beautiful aircraft and so many details , excellent work by Sophocles

Aviation living it up lol. I had coffee a few times in the field but not often I drank it, and I did have pogey bait but probably not as much as Viggen.

These little details on the ground objects are great! A coffee dispenser, who'd have thought?! I'm sure the platoon sergeants will be huddled around it. Plus it's cool to hear the insight and suggestions from daddyairplanes and EricJ. I was in the Army as well, but Aviation doesn't have any of these vehicles. And our field exercises were normally spent relaxing in a GP Medium eating whatever we brought along

Somewhere over the Kurils

Usually you put the dispenser on a table or the ramp though so it's easier to get the coffee.

Great idea for the M577 with command tent, I could suggest you make a version for the other side using BTR-70 APC made by you, add some antennas

I really like the Tomcat button. the 3D angle is most appealing.

Ha! Don't forget your hat

This solved my problem with terrains. Your advice helped me a lot! From now on, I will have to keep every aircraft in SF2, even if I don't like it. At least, for any unused aircraft, I disable the cockpit by commenting it out in aircraft.ini. So it is not a problem at all. After restoring all aircraft, I am able to see all red side aircraft on the map. I am relieved. It means I have to do the same for another 4 of SF2 installation. Here comes my meditative coding times.

you put it directly into the terrain folder itself, yes??? yo can open the bmp, and see it, right?? I've zipped it up' see if this one works. the pits should look like the image below Pit1.7z

I believe so. At least, that's what the "visual" evidence over the last several hundred years seems to support <gr>

Best Answer: They heard you were in the neighborhood, and ran away. Probable Real Answer: you don't need Dhimar and Paran listed; it's automatic on the desert terrain. By deleting the unused aircraft (which are all exported, including western birds ExportedToEnemy=TRUE), you removed the possibility of their random generation for Bad Guy (tm) usage. You'll have to reinstate them if you want E/As to show up

We can finish 1st my Forrestal together then go for QE . I've no time for 3d last days ;-)

Yugo Faster

Agree with all of the above. SF2 has gradually drawn me in and taken more and more of my hobby time (from my other favourites IL-2 1946, MS Flight Simulator X, Orbiter, GT Legends and GTR 2 on Win XP and Win 7; and Forza Motorsport 4 on XBox 360). My installs have slowly evolved to where SF2 Vietnam is a Cold War Pacific based environment--with a detailed A-4K version of course, and I've really enjoyed recently installing Vampires, Venoms, Canberras (Kiwi and Australian) and USAF B-57s. I have some really nice customised Vietnam era F-4s naturally, and I like to have accurate historical loadouts for all my planes (but customised to suit my preferences for SF2 gameplay too). SF2 has a "sim-lite" reputation, but I find it interesting how many times it actually reflects real world experience. Just the other day I was reading about real world experience with convergance of the B-57B's 4x20-mike cannons, then found myself adjusting the "aim angle" ini parametetrs in the sim, and creating new weapon stations to support dual 5-inch HVAR racks per images in the real B-57B flight manual. I find similar parallels in gameplay too, for example modding the inis for my AI wingmen to fly lower in Europe; or working out methods for low-altitude level-bombing with Tornadoes and F-111s, and high-altitude bombing with B-52s. And my SF2 mod folders are becoming nice libraries of documents and references that I've found online. My SF2 Europe install specialises in mid to late Cold War USAFE and RAFG models, plus a growing collection of French Mirages. I'll be exploring the Hawker Hunter here too in the near future (including the Swiss Air Force models which I really admire). SF2 North Atlantic is home to some very nice customised Royal Navy models (HMS Ark Royal takes pride of place, and I have a cloned 'Royal Navy' terrain to get RN CVBGs and Amphibious Ready Groups for campaigns and single missions too). SF2 NA is also home to a customised Arctic terrain for my Air Defence Command interceptors (with customised Soviet Long-Range Aviation to create the style of gameplay I like for my interception missions). I've started exploring IAF aviation in my SF2 Israel install, and enjoy a customised KAW install too. My computer is very old--so I have to make lower rez versions of some mods to get good frame rates. I actually have a decent budget to build a modern Win 10 replacement, but I haven't done it yet--partly because the price of PC components (especially GFX cards) is outrageous right now, but partly because I still get so much enjoyment from my old but treasured sims on my ancient dual boot XP/Win 7 machine. Kind regards and much thanks to the community, Steve (Auckland, New Zealand)

Thank you gentlemen really for you kind words, for the first time I really don't have the words to explain my feelings. I just want to say thank you for everything.

Something else I'd like to say about GKABS. How many of you have noticed this first line in every one of the announcements for his uploads: There's something special about that simple statement. Even some of us that have been doing this for nearly 20 years don't see that sort of thing very often, yes?? THAT kind of courtesy is hardly seen these days, anywhere. I wanted to bring that to you all's attention. carry on, gents.

well, its CenUS folder and MidWest USA. plugged straight in from a copy of the mod folders on the semi retired laptop. was unaware of any other Midwest terrain. but presuming its yours, and if you ever retool it, the city is so damn close to Midway when i flew out in April i could see faces in cars going by . iirc, couple years back there was an accident where an airliner overran the runway, through a wall and into traffic! mandatory screenie

Hello everyone, I just submitted new version of SF2 Screen Overhaul mod and is waiting for approval. It will be released soon. UPDATE: It is now released! Enjoy the new version! Cheers!

is that my CenUS terrain??? I disremember the Sears Tower .... ========== required screenshot French Dakota in Indochina

Good afternoon everyone! I have been working on adding more SF2 system icon with different aircraft. I also have template ready for any of you to create more as add-on download for SF2 screen overhaul mod. In a folder for SF2 system icon, you can see different aircraft to choose from: Here is a full preview of each SF2 system icon: I am working on one more project before releasing new version of SF2 screen overhaul. Cheers!

I assure you that this model is not pirated, but it will not see light so soon and the model was created a few weeks after the flight of the real prototype.

A very sad day for the Bulgarian Air Force. At 00.45h LT today a MiG-29A (9-12) of the BuAF disappeared from radar over the Black Sea during a night training mission. The crash site has been located with oil/fuel spills on the surface of the sea and small debris indicating the crash. The pilot is still missing, just an empty life jacket was found floating and the search and rescue operation has been unsuccessful so far. The chance to find the pilot still alive is getting slimmer every minute. My prayers are with him and his family.
