Vintage fighter aircraft mod ! 2005-2021...

Even before the chinese civil war ended, the americans knew they will need to fly over mainland China in order to gather as many intel as possible. Daylight flights would be too much a provocation, so the USAF was tasked with finding a plane that could fly at night, fast and capable of being updated with several intel gathering equipment. USAF took its job seriously, but the existing bombers altough providing enough room for new equipment are too slow for chinese defenses, then a WW2 veteran came with an idea, why not to upgrade the existing P-61 airframes existing in USCON storage sites? The crews must be all american, but the planes will fly with Republic of China markings, soon the new EP-61W as the "new" version is to be known was flying tests over Taiwan getting ready for its incoming task. Apart from the new antennas that tell everyone the new plane main task, the EP-61W were updated with new external fixed wingtip tanks, and several wet hardpoints to carry external tanks. Want to say thanks to AngelP for work on the existing SF2 mod, new antennas, wingtip tanks, drop tanks... Soon, more pics of operational history to come!

Thanks again to strahi again he sent me further information recording the M-84AS tank amd I need to add the following.

I think it's completed I will do the game test then it will be uploaded

I think it's about 90% completed, I just need to add some rivets and it should be completed.

7 mistakes game ? lol

When you create a campaign set "Weapon Supply" to "Limited" and "Campaign Difficulty" to "Hard". Should work.

It is possible. There are some mods by Capitaine Vengeur introducing national counters on the planning maps, and I've done it as well for all countries portrayed in the ODS 30AE total conversion modification. It involves some .ini editing, and of course lots of patience in creating dozens of different textures. It's not possible to have them for specific units (unless you want to use unrelated nations in campaigns to pose as placeholders for units), but for specific nations it's doable. It's basically done in TW's First Eagles 2, what we did in ODS 30AE is just an example of using FE2's features in Strike Fighters.

Beautiful cockpit by Starfighter2 ?

Honestly, I have no idea if this is going to be an issue on your instance of FF? I use FF all the time and I've never had a problem, even with multiple logins on multiple devices. I wouldn't even know how to start help you diagnose that but check that you're allowing cookies to be stored and not erased after every session? That's my only guess. Thanks

Dear Friends, In today’s DD we want to show you some screens featuring our new cloud technology and renderer. We have been working on new clouds for a few months and we now have some WIP results we can show you. As you can see, they look more natural and have more variety and are larger than our previous clouds. They also have localized rain showers and react well with the lighting creating a beautiful scene. While other teams out there have more resources than we do to make amazing clouds, our new clouds are the work of just two motivated people on the Sturmovik Team (Sergey and Isay). And soon we’ll be working with community member and friend rowdyb00t who has previously made some cool cloud mods with our current technology. This new cloud technology has great potential and of course it will take some artistic talent to make it look it’s best. They should also offer better visuals with no loss of performance over the current technology, at least that’s what we see in early testing. We think you’ll like these new clouds and we’ll work to get these to you as soon as we can. The technology is being perfected as we speak and we will begin work on making the new cloud content shortly. Then they will go into testing with release hopefully in a few months. Enjoy! The Sturmovik Team

The RAF Harriers GR.3 that operated in the Falklands conflict had major issues with getting thier Inertial Navigation Systems to align and as a result their navigation and attack systems would not function correctly. More often than not they had to fly their missions by compass, stopwatch and a map. And just the back up manual aiming system displayed on the HUD. They called it the revisionary sight and it is fixed but the horizontal arm of the cross could be manually depressed. This information can be found in books written by RAF GR.3 pilots about the conflict. I have recreated that here from my research on what it looked like. It makes using the GR.3 in the game much more challenging as without the CCIP on the HUD you have to manually dive bomb with the fixed revisionary sight. I have set it up so the horizontal arm of the cross will depress automatically based on the selected weapon. The position is based on the tactical dive bomb profile that needs to be used. There is also no moving map without the Nav/ Attack system. HUD Nav mode: Basic flight data and no navigation/ waypoint/ heading information. HUD Air-to-Air mode: De-cluttered with fixed revisionary sight only. HUD Air-to-Ground mode: Basic flight data and fixed revisionary sight only with horizontal arm adjusted based on selected weapon. No moving map at all.

And, for today´s menu, riveting day...

In addition to it's long service in fleet US Navy and Marine squadrons as well as export customers, the F/A-201 Kestrel was also flown by the US Navy's aggressor squadrons. Latterly this has been of increased value as the Kestrel has been used as a visual analogue of the Chinese J-10... Here we see the US Navy's latest F/A-24 Shadowcat and F/A-27 Talon fighters in training against aggressor Kestrels from the famed NFWS 'Top Gun' and the USMC's VMFT-401 'Snipers' adversary squadron...
