7 pointsOff to take photos over Libya Coasted in at 437 feet, thinking I was being slick. The terrain dipped at one point and I was above 500 feet, so almost instantly the SAM's went live and started firing. The ships are firing at a Libyan that crossed into their engagement range.

6 pointsHispano Aviación HA-1108 Martillo - Escuadron 113, Ala 7, Ejército del Aire, May 1945 Whilst both Portugal and Spain remained neutral at the start of World War 2 the UK government was deeply concerned that the pro-Nazi Spanish dictatorship of Francisco Franco would inevitably lead to Spain joining the axis powers in their war against the British Empire. In particular, the UK worried that an emboldened Spain would make a move to take back Gibraltar which played a vital role in controlling naval traffic in and out of the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. These fears appeared to becoming true when Franco and Hitler met at Hendaye railway station near the Spanish–French border on October 23rd, 1940. The UK knew that the object of the meeting was to resolve disagreements over the conditions for Spain to join the Axis Powers in their war against the British Empire. Among other things, Franco asked for the handing over of Gibraltar once the British were defeated plus the return of French Morocco, part of French Algeria and further demanded that French Cameroon should be attached to the Spanish colony of Guinea. Hitler knew that Spain was enduring a critical economic and military situation following the Spanish Civil War and realised that Spain could contribute little to acheiving Franco's extortionate wish list. Hitler regarded Franco with contempt and preferring not to disturb his relations with the Vichy French regime he abruptly ended the meeting and the two would never meet again. Following this infamous meeting Franco realised that Spain might struggle to receive arms from Nazi Germany and announced a series of military programmes including an indigenous fighter aircraft for the Spanish Air Force. Hispano Aviación were given a contract to design and produce a modern monoplane fighter utilising the promising 'in house' Hispano-Suiza R14 fourteen-cylinder two-row supercharged radial engine rated at 1,400hp driving a 3-bladed constant-speed propeller. Designated as the HA-1108 'Martillo' (Hammer) the HA-1108 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable undercarriage and an enclosed cockpit. The relatively clean duralumin-skinned fuselage had a tubular steel frame whilst the predominantly fabric-covered wing (with duralumin leading edges) was supported by two steel spars giving considerable strength and stiffness and the flight control surfaces were also fabric covered. The upper forward fuselage was the location for the four ALFA 44 machine guns of 7.92mm calibre with Nelson E-8 synchronization gear allowing them to fire them through the spinning propeller. The first HA-1108 prototype flew on December 20th, 1941 and Hispano Aviación test pilots found it reasonably docile with decent flight and ground handling properties and good cockpit ergonomics. However, it was slower than contemporary fighters like the Me-109F and Spitfire V and the armament of four rifle calibre machine guns was considered to be woefully inadequate. Despite these shortcomings the HA-1108 started series production in August 1942 with Escuadron 113 becoming the first operational squadron on October 12th, 1942 (the national Day of Spain). On May 9th, 1945 the HA-1108's of Escuadron 113 saw combat over Olivenza near the Portuguese border with Spain shooting down a Portuguese Furacão and damaging a Spitfire on the following day. Production continued during the war and finally ended in 1948. Whilst outdated the HA-1108 was adequate for it's intended purpose of home defence and also controlling Spanish colonial territories in Africa.

This is an AI remastered tileset for the great NovaLogic Terrains released by Menrva. This is tilesets only. You will need the full terrain from here to get it working. NovaLogic Terrains - Full Terrains - CombatACE AI zoom tool based on Realesrgan was used in the tileset with GPU computing to reproduce 512 x 512 tilesets with richer details from the original 128 x 128 tilesets. Due to limitation of the AI algorithm, there are still part of terrain remain blured. So the tilesets are all reduced to 256 x 256 to produce a more consistent feel. We have noticed some other AI anti-blur algorithm can produce better results on the new 512 x 512 tile set and may include that in the future release. ----------------------------/Installation/---------------------------------- 0. You must have the NovaLogic Terrains from Menrva. This is a tileset only. Download and install from the link provided above. 1. Backup is a must. this mod will overwrite your existing Novalogic terrain tilesets. Just in case you are not happy with the outcome; 2. extract the Terrains folder under your SF2 mod folder and overwrite the files (about 2950 files) Enjoy! -

1 pointThe War Diary of Auguste Besson, Escadrille N.23, part 5. We had barely reached our quarters at Vitry-le-François when we were ordered to the depot’s field to begin our training. The Nieuport 10 was a very different beast compared to our old Parasols. It was a sesquiplane design, meaning it had a normal-sized top wing but the lower wing was considerably narrower. This made the plane lighter and improved both its manoeuvrability and the downward visibility from the cockpit. We were pleasantly surprised by the Nieuport. It was easy to handle and responded well to the movements of the controls, whereas the Parasol was overly nervous and required a constant full effort from the pilot to maintain a steady course, which made flying it an exhausting business. The Nieuport could be armed with a British-made Lewis machine gun that was attached over the top wing. This arrangement made it possible to fire forward over the spinning propeller. Unfortunately the system was far from perfect. To replace an empty magazine the pilot had to stand up in the cockpit to reload the gun – understandably a challenging feat to accomplish in a rapidly moving airplane! Our instructor at the facility turned out to be none other than Lieutenant Mangin, the injured pilot I had met at the Paris surgical hospital! However, he was no longer a lieutenant, but a captain, having received a promotion recently. He was employed as an instructor and a test pilot, which gave him the opportunity to acquire first hand experience of all of our latest machines in development. The crash had left him with an injured leg, so he walked around with a slight limp, but this had no impact on his performance in the cockpit. Most of us could only marvel at his supreme skill in handling the Nieuport! In the evenings, I had long conversations with Mangin. Despite his injury, the war had treated him well and offered him a chance to get promoted at a much faster pace than would have been possible in the peacetime army. For a man so obviously in love with aviation, it truly was the perfect arrangement. We completed our training at a very rapid speed. This was not really a problem, because the Nieuport had the same engine as the Parasol, so we were already familiar with the most complex part of the machine. There was a reason for the hurry – on September 25, our armies attacked on the Reims front, and there was a great demand for air support. Meanwhile, our escadrille was renamed N.23, to reflect the fact that we were now equipped with the Nieuport 10. After some initial successes, the new offensive also ground to a halt. No matter what the army tried, the enemy lines could not be broken. On October 3, rapid breakthrough attempts were abandoned and a battle of attrition began. Our escadrille was in the thick of it, flying every day over the battlefield to provide support to the poilus struggling forward in the autumn mud. However, heavy rainfall often made any flights impossible. The men in the trenches were not so fortunate, and had to endure the worst of it without any chance of relief. By comparison, we pilots were fighting the war from a privileged position, being able to retire into our houses and the comfort of our beds after the day was over. October 1915 was a disappointing month for us. The fighting in our own sector was not making any progress, despite heavy casualties. The enemy took full advantage of the higher ground they were occupying and their reconnaissance machines were also able to keep an eye on our movements, in spite of our efforts to achieve superiority in the air. Clearly, the offensive had not come as a surprise to the boche. In addition, there was a steady stream of bad news from the other fronts. Things seemed particularly bad in the East, where the Central Powers were dealing heavy blows to the Russian Empire. We often discussed the prospects of the war in the spare time we had between missions – sometimes a lot of it, when the weather made flying impossible. As November arrived, the offensive actions in our sector finally came to an end for the winter. This also meant an easier schedule for the escadrille, for flying became increasingly difficult in the harsh weather conditions. TO BE CONTINUED...

1 pointI love the fact that there are Girls/Ladies, who love flight sims, and get stuck in with modding, I wish more gals would join in, as it is great when they do. As with the modelling community, there are some superb scale moddelers who are Female, and I love to see it. Keep up the great work !!!

1 pointSome fine stories Gents! It’s going to get dangerous very soon so stay on your toes. Sgt. Elijah Gallagher. 8RFC, Marieux. Oct. 1915 The month of October started well enough. There had been high hopes for the offensive but it had soon bogged down with not much to show except more carnage. Gallagher and Capt. Goon had seen every inch of the front from Arras to the Somme doing Artillery spotting or the occasional bombing of front lines and Bertencourt. Flying over the autumn trees, Gallagher had thought of the words to a song he knew as a youngster. “Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same, And the love you had found outside in the rain, Washed clean by the water but nursing the pain.” He smiled to himself as he remembered the words but was soon brought back to reality with a near Archie Burst. He and Goon had gone it alone to bomb Bertencourt when the other two machines turned back with engine trouble. They left the airfield with 2 burning hangers and chaos bringing praise from Sholto Douglas who was acting Commander in the Majors absence. As the month dragged on the losses piled up. They had lost one crew a week. The last one was hard to take. Capt. Goon had volunteered to take the place of an observer for the afternoon patrol and they never returned. It hit Gallagher hard. They had been together for 5 months. The war was getting personal for Gallagher. End of the month Stats. Sgt. Elijah A Gallagher. 8RFC, Marieux. BE2c. missions 31. hours. 42. victories. 0. claims. 0

1 pointRaine - Yes I've been to Fort William myself a couple of times, lovely place, with one of the best whisky shops I've frequented. Sergeant Kenneth Hardie 6 Squadron RFC Abeele airfield BE2C 1 confirmed victory 25th October 1915 After the previous evening's celebrations for Kenneth and Barnard's confirmed victory, Kenneth awoke with a raging thirst and a bursting bladder. After relieving both and breathing some early morning fresh air, he at least felt brighter. A thick bacon butty and two steaming cups of tea completed the recovery. The sorties were still one a day and included reconnaissance, bombings and spotting. Targets ranged from Lille, Lens and Douai in the south upto Ghistelles in the north. The flak was booming throughout. However it wasn't just the enemy causing the problems. On the 28th, Kenneth and Barnard had taken off and reached about 300 feet when a loud bang was heard in the engine and then a thick oily steam came billowing out. The revs halved straight away and continued dropping. Kenneth kept his cool, shut the engine down and dipped the nose slightly to keep her from stalling. As per his training, he didn't try to turn back towards the airfield and instead looked for the best field ahead to land in. The one directly in front had a thick fence through the middle of it so Kenneth aimed for the one behind but the BE was dropping steadily. There was virtually inches to spare as the wheels just cleared the far hedge and the aircraft landed with a thump. The pair shook themselves down and awaited the squadron lorry to arrive and roughly 20 minutes later it did. It turned out one of the oil filters had ruptured and the aircraft was ready for the next day's work. On the 31st October, Kenneth was part of a quintumvirate of aircraft sent to attack the lines south of the Ypres salient. The weather had turned, wind and rain swept the bombers, however the attack went well. As they turned to form back up, Captain Barnard shouted and pointed to the left. Kenneth looked as directed and saw a gaggle of enemy Aviatiks approaching, having come out of a thick bank of clouds. The enemy had height and as they flew passed Kenneth, machine guns raked Kenneth's aircraft. He instinctively rolled beneath his attackers and the Aviatiks ran for the lines. There was no serious damage done and Kenneth flew home and landed safely. He inspected the holes in the wing from the bullets as he dismounted. Barnard was livid, "Those damn Boche! That was pure chance put us in front of them! If we'd had a Fee I'd have given them it back with interest!", he exclaimed. "At least we got back in one piece." said Kenneth calmly. It had been a busy and eventful first month for Kenneth but he'd aquitted himself very well. Major Shephard was very happy with his performance.

Sweden, Baltic Rim (2004-2018) Terrain March 13th, 2018 (1st Release) by Menrva >For Strike Fighters 2: Europe, Recommended Full-5 Merged This is a complete remake of the Sweden terrain made by gillg, but set after the Cold War era. What began as a simple tiling bugfix, for JonathanRL's The Scandinavian Front mod, turned out to be a huge overhaul upon noticing a number of inaccuracies. The terrain has been retargetized and hand-tiled to a good extent; major changes have been done to the Baltic states, which were pretty inaccurate in terms of target locations. Some rivers have been added and/or retiled to mimic Real World courses. Numerous target areas, including airports and highway strips, have been added in order to expand playability, targets of opportunity and year range. This terrain features a fresh new 250m resolution heightmap (instead of the stock 500m resolution), allowing for greater details and precision in elevation changes; overall it provides the whole terrain with a better look. The terrain spans from March 30, 2004 (the beginning of NATO's Baltic Air Policing) to December 31, 2018; it is designed for The Scandinavian Front's scenarios by JonathanRL, taking place after the Cold War era. This terrain is a standalone version of the one which will be included in the last iteration of the TSF mod package by JonathanRL. The terrain that will be included in the TSF mod package will likely differ slightly from this one, so users are advised to keep that in mind. Also, this terrain uses only a single tileset. The TSF's version will use different tilesets according to the season, as originally designed by our fellow modder, Stary. Targets reflect Real World events as accurately as possible; for instance, some airfields won't be available after a certain date and/or will change name according to historic changes. Off Map Airbases have been added and long range AI flights can be generated from them, if you have SF2NA. Most of the main targets have been placed accurately in their Real World locations. Due to the complexity of the area, some inaccuracies are to be expected, but I did my best! Ground Objects are not included. Download JonathanRL's The Scandinavian Front mod package to have all that you need for this scenario. >Credits (in no particular order): -gillg, who created this terrain and whose work I have admired during my rework. I can only imagine how much time he spent on tiling roads and rivers from scratch! -JonathanRL, for his exceptional TSF2 mod package, which prompted me to do something to help improve it. -Wrench, as he is always glad to help us fellow terrain modders. Thank you, sir! -swambast, who provided me with invaluable help in tracking and fixing common and uncommon bugs. -gerwin, whose TFDtool has proved to be essential in today's terrain making. If the terrain is pretty accurate to RL it's also because of him. I included his very nice Airfield 7+8 Addon Pack, too. -mue, for the improved shaders he made, which I have included and reworked for the terrain, and for the tools he made for SF2 modding. -luk1978, for the waternormal bitmap he shared at the SF2 screenshots thread. Your mods are very interesting! -MigBuster, I have included some of his great hi-res textures for runways. -Stary, for the wonderful tileset he made exclusively for the original Sweden terrain included in the TSF mod package. -Gepard, for his great tutorials about terrain making, in the SF1 Knowledge Base at CombatACE. It's a gold mine! -tiopilotos and Stratos, who always support me during my terrain remakes. Thank you, guys! -krfrge, who has produced a tutorial for recreating SF2-like planning maps, which prompted me to work on templates and my own high quality planning maps. Thank you very much! -comrpnt, for his Approach and Airfield Lighting Pack mod packages for SF1 series, which I reworked and included. Because this terrain is a rework of gillg's fantastic creation, I included his ReadMe file from his original package, to the end of giving proper credit to everyone involved directly or not. >Disclaimer: This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages. Any changes to the terrain package's files and/or any copy-and-paste attempts of their contents are NOT authorized if you plan to release them in other mods. But permission might be granted to those who request it to me at CombatACE. This terrain may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions. -

0 pointsDamn....and it was going well too. Sergeant Kenneth Hardie 6 Squadron RFC Abeele airfield BE2C 1 confirmed victory 1st November 1915 Major Shephard took the briefing and explained that the mission today would be an attack on Phalempin airfield. The weather was good as Kenneth cranked up the throttle and the BE rumbled across the airfield. The journey went quietly until they crossed the lines. From that moment on the flak grew thicker and thicker. Kenneth's BE was thrown about the sky as the bursts threw metal everywhere. Just as they approached Phalempin and Kenneth was about to nose down on the bombing run, something blew directly in front of him. Wood and metal flew around and Kenneth buckled as he took the full brunt. He was groggy and blooded and as he tried to get control of the aircraft again he realised he couldn't. The wires were wrecked and the stricken BE began a spiralling fall. As the ground grew nearer, Kenneth kicked the rudder to try and level out and it worked a little but the aircraft nosed into the ground and skidded to a halt. Kenneth was out cold as flames burst out around them........he felt nothing anymore.......
