They're a little............perturbed at first Now, they're positively pissed,,,,,

(Sun)rise of Desert Storm.

Rather unfriendly types when all I wanted to do was get outta the area. The cluster bombs weren't even mine...

Well it worked, I just created the Terrains folder like you said and added the items like Wrench said in the readme. Thank you both for the help

Another solution is to use those files in your [mod folder]\Terrains\VietnamSEA. Then USN will launch from carrier by default. VIETNAMSEA.INI VIETNAMSEA_WATER.BMP

Iranian Starfighters

thank you, but to be honest I am not the "inventor" of this, I have learned it from another modder in a former post, but I do not remember from who and when. So the credits go to the one who discovered this first, I am just repeating here, but I'm happy if it helps. Very probably yes, I confirm I have SF2:NA and I am quite sure it will not work without.

Paroni – Armand has shared some lovely paintings. And he has made his presence known among the enemy with an early victory! Was it confirmed? Condolences on losing two machines and their crews to a collision. Seb – Chesham! Hawkwood and you are certainly neighbours. The photo and video images from the early morning flights out of St-Pol are very atmospheric. Congratulations on a confirmed victory. Albrecht – A brilliant introduction to Jean-Fidele. The petit-sous did a fine job of putting down his crippled Morane. Maeran – Characteristically splendid episode. I like the way you picked up on McCudden’s visits to the squadron. Hasse – Another great introduction. With any luck, Auguste will remain pointed in the right direction and stay out of Spain for the rest of the war. TWK – Look forward to seeing our Bulgarian friend back during August. Best wishes for the schoolwork. MFair – Interesting tale about how Elijah ended up joining the RFC in Canada. War Journal – Sergeant David Armstrong Hawkwood, Royal Flying Corps 4 Squadron, Baizieux, France Part 4 By 1 August 1915, we were well settled at Vert Galant. Accordingly, on 2 August we received orders to pack up and move to a new aerodrome at Baizieux, about four or five miles west of the town of Albert. The village of Baizieux was not long in giving up its secrets, for it had none. It was little more than a scattering of low brick houses and farm outbuildings bordering a muddy country lane that led northward from the Amiens-Albert-Bapaume road towards the only slightly larger village of Warloy. The aerodrome was to be set up on several featureless fields a little east of the village. About the only landmark in the area was a lonely windmill that stood on a slight rise in the ground just west and north of the aerodrome. Every officer and man in the squadron was kept fully occupied making the place serviceable. The first priorities were getting our munitions stowed under canvas, establishing latrines, and getting our own tents up. The weather did not look promising. Three timber and canvas huts had been already erected on site by a work party impressed from the infantry. These became the squadron office, the main stores, and (naturally) the officers’ mess. We also managed to get up four canvas sheds for aircraft and we dug in and sandbagged our storage area for petroleum, oil, and lubricants. The rain started during the night and so we worked soaked to the skin for two full days. Finally, on 5 August, I was able to take up Mr Osborne for a familiarisation “flip.” When the weather was clear one could see the spire of Albert Cathedral with its golden Virgin and Child. Beyond Albert to the east lay the pockmarked, dung coloured stain of the front. We flew twice in the surrounding area on 6 August and then the weather closed in again. Our first operational flight from Baizieux came on 8 August. It was a reconnaissance patrol over the lines just north of the River Somme. We flew with two other machines, providing a guard because of reports that the enemy had deployed their new Fokker monoplane with a machine-gun synchronised to fire forward through the spinning propeller. At one point in the patrol as we turned north again from the river, I noticed two tiny specks against a background of grey cloud a couple of thousand feet below us and about a mile off. There was no chance of catching them and, in any event, our orders were to stay with the rest of the patrol. As we returned towards Albert, I saw another lone machine in the distance below us to the north. We were now finished with the patrol and free to give pursuit, so I went to investigate. It was too late. We dive through a cloud bank and circled about, but saw nothing and returned to Baizieux. We have a new squadron commander. His name is Major Waldron, and the like Major Longcroft before him, he was among the earliest group of RFC pilots in France. On 22 August, I was called to the squadron office for a brief interview with the new boss. He seems like an “all business” type and did not know quite what to make of a sergeant pilot. He asked a number of questions about my education and interests and I managed not to reply “bugger all” and “football.” I told him that I was hoping to study engineering after the war and was reading the Iliad in translation. Both fine lies. My thought is that he was probing for any facts that might suggest I could one day gain a commission. A number of the officers go on about the Latin and Greek writers, hence the Iliad. I did pick the book up once – dreadful stuff. Give me Sherlock Holmes any day.

Working on a new format for my QAF series. Does this keep your attention? Remember my goal to whet appetites, and pack as much info as I can within 3 minutes.

You know...It is a NUCLEAR matter.

No smart bombs, and 1 VERY lucky aviator Always reminded me of a Manta Ray..

Strong Stuff...

Air battles continue... Jean got it! Duo Jailler-Saillard were our witnesses!Boche made force landing their own side. Victory confirmed!The battle was also seen by our observation balloon.

@elo82 You should post in this support topic for help, not in the comments section. I wish I could help, but the issue you are having has to do with your system, the mod works for pretty much everyone else. You must point the installer's path to your Strike Fighters 2 game directory (you need all three SF2 games installed: SF2, SF2 Israel and SF2 North Atlantic), patched to the latest July 2013 patch. After installation of the mod, you should find something like this in your Strike Fighters 2 directory (not the mod folder): If you do not have all three SF2 games I mentioned and do not use the latest July 2013 patch, the mod simply won't work. I cannot help more than this, I'm not on your system and I simply cannot have a clear picture of what's happening on it.

unzip this, and drop the 3 wavs into you mod folder's /Sounds folder. these should be the ones tornado engine sounds.7z

Horseshit!! I couldn't have made it any easier. All instructions, especially for fully folderized items (like terrains) assume the End User (tm) can do a simple copy and paste (or move or whatever) right from the panama read me (yes, I know the original has a typo and says CubaOTC -- which I corrected here)

Go into your mod folder, create a Terrains folder and drop the terrain folder into it. You may not have to link the .cat file if you got a full 5-merged, but you need to make sure that the .cat file is referenced based on your install. That's a default directory that the game will reference for ground objects and the like. I mean it's pretty easy to do and not that complicated.

August 23 Late in the evening What a disastrous day! It was supposed to be a routine flight and the weather was good. A-flight that included Capitaine Fauvre ,Slt Turin and Adj.Schneider take off 30 min. before us. As we approached the field we noticed a smoke statue rising from behind it.At first we thought the Boche had bombed our field. But as we approached it,we identified it as the wreck of a Morane.We made a quick landing on the field.There was a another Morane which was damaged heavily. Turin and Schneider had collided in the air!Turin was smashed to the field and obs.Hilaire was killed instantly. Schneider's Morane crashed to the woods and burned.Somehow Schneider survived it but his observer Castelain did not. Both pilots wounded badly. We had survived many battles so long .

The campaign is really getting into gear. Some great stories! AK, welcome to the front. Trustworthy, step back in when life allows. Seb, a fine story and great videos Amigo. Sgt. Elijah Gallagher. 8RFC, Flanders. July, 1915 Elijah’s second month at the front was much different than the first. June was filled with reconnaissance missions. Flying up and down the lines bothered only by the puffs of Archie which you grew accustomed to. Yes, you could see a barrage going on down below but somehow Gallagher felt removed from it all. He felt like he was more of a spectator in a big show than part of the program itself. Then the end of June and July rolled around and the duties changed from recon to bombing. Now Gallagher knew he was part of the killing. To put an exclamation point on his feelings, Denton, his newest observer which he liked very much, had been killed flying with Sgt. Halifax. The report said they went down in flames near Lens. Why or what happened only known to god. Another crew was missing and assumed dead. Gallagher was now well aware of the fact he was part of the killing and people he knew and liked were being killed. He wasn’t a spectator any more. He was in the show. Gallagher and his tent mate, Sgt. Colby had grown close. Even though they were from different corners of the world they had much in common. Both came from farming families and neither one wanted any part of that life. One night after a few drinks, one too many actually, Gallagher opened up. He and his father were constantly at loggerheads. Once his father had had enough of his only sons rebellious streak, he shipped him off the the Citadel in South Carolina. Gallagher, for once in his life, thrived in the military atmosphere. “There was a purpose to it” he said. He graduated, commissioned as a second Lieutenant and was given a choice of postings. He knew the 1st Aero Squadron was being formed and that seemed to him the adventure of a lifetime. Tensions with Mexico were getting hot, the 1st Aero was to train for the anticipated war with Mexico. “The only problem was, nobody knew how to fly the damm things! Not even our so-called instructors!” Gallagher had told Colby. “We had some preliminary Ground instructions and when you could taxi up and down the field, you took her up and hope for the best!” Ltn. Foulous got written instructions from Orville Wright himself by mail for gods sake!” Gallagher shook his head. “Lot of boys killed and and maimed trying to learn to fly in those days” he said with a distant look. The whiskey had now loosened Gallagher’s tongue. When Colby asked him how the hell he came to be a part of this show, Gallagher let it out. “There was this young kid, hell, we were all young.” After a brief pause he continued. “He wasn’t ready, I knew he would crack up! The instructor, a Captain, insisted that he would take here up the next day. The boy wasn’t ready and he knew it. The instructor knew it! That night I went to try and talk some sense into him and he wouldn’t have it. Said he was going up come hell or high water! I snapped! Cold cocked the sob right there! Knocked him out cold as a wedge!” Colby was stunned. “You struck a superior officer!” “Left him bleeding on the floor!” Gallagher said as he continued. “I lit out that night. I knew my only hope was to make it to Canada which I did. Saw some fellows in uniform wanting folks to sign up for this show. When I told them I was a pilot, I was in! Colby shook his head, “well of that don’t take the lot!” He said. As Gallagher awoke the next morning he realized his secret was out. Colby groaned as he sat up in his cot. “Me thinks we had a bit too much last night” he said while rubbing his head. Gallagher looked at him “ Colby, about last night.” Colby waved his hand in the air. “No worries friend, your tale is safe with me.”

Next I will be completing the M109 and the M992A2 they shouldn't take long. The project for the drone will be the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper. It will be another team work with the same talented friends.

View File Panavia Tornado F.3 A.M.I. for ODS edition upgrade In the early 1990s, the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare Italiana, or AMI) identified a requirement for a fighter to boost its air defence capabilities pending introduction of the Eurofighter Typhoon, expected around 2000. These fighters were to operate alongside the service's obsolescent F-104ASA Starfighters. The Tornado ADV was selected from, amongst others, the F-16. On 17 November 1993, Italy signed an agreement with the RAF to lease 24 Tornado F3s from the RAF for a period of ten years. First training of AMI pilots began in March 1995 at RAF Coningsby while technicians gained experience at RAF Cottesmore and Coningsby. The first aircraft was accepted on 5 July 1995 and flown to its Italian base the same day. Delivery of the first batch was completed by 1996; these aircraft were deployed at Gioia del Colle in Southern Italy. The second batch was delivered between February and July 1997, these aircraft were of a slightly higher specification. They served with 12° Gruppo 36° Stormo at Gioia del Colle AB from 1995 to 2004 and with 21° Gruppo 53° Stormo at Cameri AB from 1997 to 2001. In 1999 it joined 36° Stormo at Gioia del Colle AB and in 2001 was disbanded. The AMI returned its Tornados to the RAF, with the final aircraft arriving at RAF Saint Athan on 7 December 2004.
