OBD: Latest Development News 18th August 2021 After the resounding success of Wings Over Flanders Fields Between Heaven & Hell II, we are now turning our attention to Wings Over The Reich. We aim to bring to WOTR all the new features that have made BH&H II a critically acclaimed success. The brilliant revised Scenery, New High Resolution Maps, Animations to bring more immersion to the feeling of flight, and in the cockpit, plus other features to be announced soon.

Hi Guys, see the news announcement for what's next for WOTR.

I found this info on the RD-9B Turbojet. We might be able to work out updated engine data for the Mig-19. http://www.leteckemotory.cz/motory/rd-9b/index.php?en

"Horrido!!!"

Hi Dresam, I've been away from flight simming since about late June, after the ver. 1.3 AI/DM update for RoF was released, partly because of work-related duties. So I haven't been as active on the forums as previously. Hope you are enjoying flying FE2. Greetings, Von S

Not quite this day in history, but more like the history we're living through right now. Kabul Airport, August 2021, and the Afghan population storm the tarmac to try to flee from the Taliban who are taking back the country. US troops try to secure the airport to allow flights to arrive, load and leave safely...

If I good remember it is like that since day 1. Probably originally there was some intention to include this function as working, but either was overlooked, or realized that actual AC Hud always show the real radar altitude constantly. So don't lose your sleep over it.

I really can't disagree with that last part. I mean it doesn't matter as they would know whether it was the winter or summer season. They simply know what's going on in their villages to know if we were pulling out. They just knew us better than us sometimes, and that's a fact. Anyways as for the letting people know, it was broadcast to the world and too late. With that knowledge the Taliban simply waited until we were out of the villages to sweep in. I mean we fought hard (I know I lobbed a goodly amount of HE at the Taliban and bombs) just to keep it secure, but again all they had to do is wait until we pulled out to retake those same villages. So yeah, there's some blame all around but nobody thought the Taliban would sweep in. I mean I saw some footage from an OSINT account on Twitter so it was no surprise that they were chasing away the Afghan forces we setup but yeah, announcing it was stupid, but then again they would have figured it out anyways I think. As for a waste of money if we had stayed, it would definitely have cost us more for what we got. We only didn't delay it by a motion of ten years or however amount we would have spent if we stayed. We had to leave sometime of course and frankly glad we did in some ways.

The decision to retreat from Afghanistan is correct. To stay one or ten years longer would change nothing and waste billions of Dollars and Euros. But how the retreat was done was completly wrong. First: The time. In Afghanistan there are two times. One more or less peacefull time in the winter, because it is simply to cold to fight. And one wartime in summer. It would be much more clever to retreat in winter. The soviets did it in winter. And their proxy Nadjibulla was able to fight two more years. He had some month to prepare for the wartime periode. The americans decided to retreat in summer. This is the wrong season. The enemy had perfect weather for war operations. Second: If you retreat it is the most challenging military operation. You must take all with you. The technic, the supply goods, your supporters and your troops. The americans and all of their allies simply had forgotten the supporters. They should have been evacuated before the troops left the field. And finally: Never give the timetable of your retreat to the enemy! This is stupid!

Download my menu screens mod package (a conversion of the menu screens from SFP1), it properly restores the briefing screen with visibility info, alongside few other features from SFP1. It's available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/16900-wings-over-world-menu-screens/ If you prefer the crappy SF2 menu screens, there should be a SF2 Briefing Retrofit mod somewhere in the downloads section.

Much better this time. Was tasked with hitting a target at the Hanoi Thermal Power Plant so in light of recent losses and figuring that the guns had been reinforced it was decided that I would launch with ENS Wilkerson. As it turns out we were so far ahead of schedule that we ended circling at 12,000ft thirty miles from the coast in point for a time. Then of course, we ended up being far behind instead of far ahead. Still, we went feet dry between Haiphong and Thai Binh and increased speed as we turned on the heading towards Hanoi in the distance. If anyone has to get in deep this is the way to go. In the open area between Hanoi, Haiphong, and Nam Dinh there isn't much in the way of AAA. Here we are, putting along at 250 knots and not drawing a shot while the fast movers down below had the whole world open up on them it seems. Even Tampa, another pair of Spads also at altitude and doing flak suppression for us, are doing just fine ahead of us. Well, about a quarter of the way there something new happened. There had been scuttlebutt about the North Vietnamese installing SA-2 missiles and now talk became reality because in the distance at 11 low near Bac Mai we saw this smoke column rise up with something streaking away from it. Next came the radio calls. If there's one one site, there's sure to be another somewhere. As we got in close, sure enough there was another launch. This one from around the Gia Lam air base. Well it seemed no one was paying much attention to us so on we went closing in on Hanoi. We could see Tampa ahead by the bursts of smoke as flak opened up on them as they flew over the Hanoi city limits. As we closed in ourselves, it didn't seem to bad until Tampa two took a direct hit and was blown in half. Watching him go down got us focused damn good and so we got ready to face the AAA as we were going to pass over the exact same area. Sure enough, they opened up on us nd all we could do was hope for the best. The fun times were over when we pitched over into the bomb run. The actual attack wasn't too bad even though they were firing like hell at us. It got really bad when we went to get the hell out of there. You see, the target, which we hit all nice fine and dandy, was on the backside of Hanoi from out flight path and so naturally, we would have to turn back and overfly the city on the way out. At low level, with everyone and their grand mama-san shooting at us. Needless to say it was hot and heavy from 4000ft to 7500ft as there wasn't a second of time where the flak wasn't exploding around Wilkerson and i. The initial goal was to just make it over the Red River, hopefully not being shot full of holes. and if that happened, hoping the engine would last long enough to reach the coast. After what seemed like an eternity, the Red was crossed and away we went, though ground fire from 6 O'clock was bad enough that we went down to 2000ft as we poured on the coals. It was rather smooth sailing, with the exception of the time we got accurate fire NE of Hung Yen. That made us go down to 900 ft and we learned in the future it'd be best if we flew at 500ft or lower. Finally we went feet wet and that was that. The rest was a routine flight home.

Now that you mention it, i remember blowing up a mod of "Stealth"s F-37 Talon back in the day. It was still not as hot as Jessica Biel in that movie, though.

Intercepted a Libyan MiG-23 that was getting little too close to the battle group.. I don't think he saw us in the sun.. Reversed and then slid in alongside him. I think he got he shock of his life! Made sure he was pointing back to the south and then let him go on his way..
