Idaho ANG F-4G with single piece windscreen my first flight since a long time , and i had a lot of fun with it

maybe he deserves to be in what if, but he is a mig after all

When Russias behaviour became more and more aggressive against the West, the german government decided to increase the numbers of fighter planes by realignment of 12 new fighter squadrons, what means 480 new planes. To hold the costs as low as possible the german government decided for a licence production of the HAL Tejas, equipped with european engine EJ-200 and german weapons. The plane got the name "Orkan". 12 month after the decision the first Orkan fighters were delivered to the fighter squadrons.

Insidious though it may be, it's got nothing on the diarrhea the 'food' from Delta inflicts upon you...

When Thunder Rolled and Winds of Change - September 2021 It is with great excitement today we announce some updates and increasing momentum of the When Thunder Rolled Project. Perhaps the most significant news is a Leadership change. All founding members have approved the nomination and acceptance of a new Project Leader that has demonstrated the proficiency, commitment and quality demanded in this critical role. Leveraging his solid understanding of the Thirdwire sims, and recent leadership roles with other initiative including Operation Desert Storm, will set us up for greater success. With this change, we are expecting a surge in activity and progress which has us energized and excited. On a tactical level, our top focus/priority now continues to be on finalizing terrain work - creating incredibly accurate depictions of the Vietnam topography, cities/towns, airbases, enhanced terrain tiles (e.g., honoring requests for more rice paddies), etc. This terrain of course will serve as the foundation for everything else. We continue to excel in enhancing immersion and realism – leveraging outsourced professionals to help with creating dense jungle environments, realistic sky environments and more. These efforts are a cycle of ongoing experiments balancing how much we can push this old game engine and still maintain acceptable frame rates. We have also been making progress in many other areas such as creating realistically detailed target areas. For example, when you strike an enemy military storage area in WTR, we promise it won’t be a generic “Warehouse1” – see proof below! Next up on the target area list is creating a cluttered rail yard supporting Ed’s June 20, 1966 attack on the Railyard NorthEast of Kep Airfield. New models will include a marshalling yard with new train cars, rail yard support buildings, service equipment and more. Also noteworthy perhaps: while not formally adopted on the development roadmap but under consideration – we have received requests over the past few years regarding Yankee Air Pirate (YAP) compatibility. A majority of former YAP team members have already been involved with the WTR Project so this continues to be assessed and a greater possibility. Please enjoy the screenshots below; note these are lower res/compressed versions and representative of unedited actual gameplay. As always, we welcome and encourage community support. If you are interested in contributing, please send me a Private Message (PM). Finally, very special thanks to Erik for all his support and hosting our exclusive forum. Please feel free to share your thoughts and comments in this forum, thank you. An F-105 drops its payload over North Vietnam amidst heavy cloudy skies. Our brand new scratch F-100F; its dazzling bare metal skin catching the morning sun on an enemy air defense suppression (Wild Weasel) mission. Vivid Morning Skies over a small Vietnam Village lose their tranquility as enemy AAA chase after the contrails of an F-105 strike package (top right). Another brand new scratch model, this time showcasing the Mig-17 featuring an insane level of detail and perfect for you rivet counters. Rough inner coastal waters demonstrated by new water effects roll in to disrupt a peaceful beach. An NVA solider driving the SA-2 missile transporter takes a quick break along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Yet another new scratch model, the AH-1 Skyraider! Employing a low bomb pass this skillful pilot scores a direct hit on an enemy truck convoy just clearing a ridge along the Ho Chi Minh trail. The sheer beauty of Vietnam, rolling hills, lush jungles and colorful fields serve as a momentary distraction from the war. May 3, 1966. Ed Rasimus’ first recorded combat mission successfully strikes a Dong Hoi military storage area in Route Pack 1. Bonus Screenie: re-creation of YAP “JumpMyers” downed pilot rescue mission integrated with the WTR Project leveraging brand new Jolly Green helo model, rescue pilot, special effects, etc from:

Hallo @VonS, yes, you are right: "WOFF PE Historical Victory Information" was implemented! I have checked it (the mod has other photos) and I'm a little bit surprised, because in my memory it was not integrated with release of BH&H2. So, as you have written, it has happened under-the-hood probably (and yes, the older "News-Mod" has been implemented with WOFF-PE). "Historical Weather Mod 1.45": I know, it has more days with flights during bad weather. But the flyable bad weather in WOFF is very bad in my opinion. And to stay on ground a few days more because of bad weather is realistic in my eyes. Greetings

Happy now, Kev??? Excellent job people!!

View File B-47E by Coyote Aerospace BOEING B-47E STRATOJET by COYOTE AEROSPACE This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E through its career as SACs most numerous bomber. It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, all major units that could be represented are (in other skin packs) and the general paint schemes used during the appropriate eras are modded for the forward deployments known as Operation REFLEX. Further, new nuclear weapons have been included. To keep file sizes down somewhat, unit skins will be release by numbered air force and available in the SF2 Skins download section INSTALLATION unzip installation folder cut and paste to desired mods folder allow overwrites (some effects and weapons mainly) IF YOU HAVE THE B28 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALREADY FROM ANOTHER MOD use caution. I have set the nuclear weapons to a specific station code as NUC. Other mods featuring the B28 weapon do not have this yet, although i intend to do a comprehensive ini edit later this year across many weapons and aircraft INCLUDED B-47E(53) and B-47(57) aircraft Operation Reflex skins, and one unit skin for each aircraft) Period accurate M64 and M65 bombs B28 nuclear weapons, 350Kt and 1.1MT yields new Mk15 and MK39 nuclear weapons, 1.69 and 3MT yields short document on how best to employ the LABS technique in game with MK15 weapon CREDITS veltro2K .......................................... aircraft models daddyairplanes .......................................... skins, tgas, research, ini work on aircraft and weapons, constant nagging on models yakarov79 .......................................... testing and ini work GKABS ................................................... new MK15/39 nuclear weapon models russouk2004 ...............................................

I have a method figured out for it, but we would need someone to model the horsecollar device with 33 JATO bottles - Not every upgrade to the Stratojet is modeled. Again, there were 1300+ aircraft built, and 6 phases for upgrades. The (53) roughly represents the aircraft after introduction, the (57) in between Phase 3 and 4. Anyone that would like to work any fakepilot mods to represent each of the 6 phases, as well as modifications like TEE TOWN would be welcomed. - while online sources state the 341st Bomb Wing operated Stratojets, veteran and book sources could not even find proof of operation, let alone marking information (they came through on all other Wings). Therefore I have not included this Bomb Wing in the mod. - The "afterburner" trick to use water injection on take off is in effect, from 99-100%. If you want realism, and to not be visible across the continent, dont exceed 97% power in flight. ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by Coyote Aerospace.

I'm too sweet to be salty, Turkish but you can forgive me reading this again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, ad nauseam, for 20 years and being just a tad skeptical. Now I'll be even more convinced as soon as I see actual video footage of them flying in PAF colours. If we're being honest, I'd like to see them in other colours. It's an excellent plane. But talk is cheap, and internet chatter is f*cking worthless unless it's backed up.

Salty much?!

Just looked through the few F-5 books I have..........No joy on 'C' pit reference. From the info I've gathered and input from folks 'in the know' sound like the 'A' pit would be a player. NIELS

correction, i meant to say without SAC or wing badges

@Becker, as far as I know the "WOFF PE Historical Victory Information" mod. is not needed with BH&H2 -- since those changes were already implemented under-the-hood in the BH&H2 series. Same rule applies for the older "News mod." (which you don't have but a public service announcement doesn't hurt since I'm already posting) - that one was also implemented sometime earlier, during the WOFF PE era, if I'm not mistaken, while the historical victory info. mod. made its way into BH&H2. INTERESTING INFO.: if running BB's "Historical Weather Mod 1.45" (the older version) in BH&H2 (also in WOFF UE/PE) -- you will get more days in which you still have to fly in poor weather, while the ver. 2.02 mod. will give you less days of flying in poor weather - with the weather manager more frequently grounding flights during poor weather. The grounding "threshold," so to speak, is lower in ver. 2.02 - while 1.45 is the favorite for us gluttons for punishment. Cheers all, Von S

Rebuilding of the mod folder continuing at a snails pace. $2,000 worth of Super, please...... Chocks away......

almost there

CASA 4100 'Espada' - Escuadron 23, Ejército del Aire, 1946 Despite being one of the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at the time of its development the promising Heinkel He 100 was not ordered into series production due to the German Ministry of Aviation's policy that allocated fighter development to Messerschmitt and bomber development to Heinkel with the additional reason that the production problems with the Daimler-Benz DB 601 12-cylinder liquid-cooled piston engine were so acute that all other designs based on the DB 601 engine were cancelled or suspended. Whilst Heinkel did consider switching to the Junkers Jumo 211 that engine was also in short supply and the He 100 could not easily be adapted to accept the Jumo 211 except via an extensive redesign but still with inferior performance. This was frustrating for Heinkel as they knew that the He 100 was a fine fighter aircraft that had already attracted interest from other countries. Indeed, Japanese and Soviet delegations had visited the Marienehe factory in October 1939 followed by a Spanish delegation in December 1939. All three were impressed by the design but whilst Heinkel was allowed to look for foreign licensees for the He 100 the engine supply problem still persisted. Even though Spain had a considerable air force the aircraft operated by the Ejército del Aire were mainly survivors from the Spanish Civil War with most aircraft being either worn out or obsolete. Despite this, Spain's declared neutrality and desperate economic situation meant that they could wait a while longer and properly organise obtaining licences and establish a production line for both the He 100 airframe and the DB 601 engine. CASA were a natural choice to manufacture the He 100 as they had already obtained aircraft licenses from Germany for the Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister, Gotha Go 145, Ju-52 and He-111. Franco authorised an extension of the CASA factory in Tablada in Seville specifically for the construction of the He 100 which was soon given the in-house designation of CASA 4100 and officially named 'Espada' (Sword). Acquiring the DB 601 engine proved to be slightly more difficult but eventually Franco negotiated with Mussolini to source it's DB 601 engine from Italy as Alfa Romeo had already gained a production licence from Daimler-Benz for the DB 601 engine (as the R.A.1000 R.C.41-I Monsone) and were already tooling up for production with engines destined for the Macchi C.202 Folgore and Reggiane Re.2001 Falco II fighters. Construction of the Tablada factory extension and the CASA 4100 production line took up the majority of 1940 and 1941 but CASA eventually delivered it's first CASA 4100 aircraft to the Ejército del Aire in March 1942 with the aircraft entering service with Escuadron 23 in the early summer. Production was a long drawn out affair with the last of 227 aircraft coming off the production line in May 1951 and the CASA 4100 remained in service until late 1964. Skin Credit: Charles

I will be taken my vacation to Turkey starting the 12th of February and I’ll be returning back the 18th of March. This will be my first vacation after retirement. I’ll keep you posted with the progress of my vacation. Mostly the weather will be cold and maybe a lot of snow. I will be collecting a lot of firewood to keep the house warm.

I just put my dumb a$$ in front of his lucky nose right in the moment when he took off... It must have been the shortest intercept mission of the history Instead I should have escorted the Thunderchiefs... but you can see how it ended...

Trailer here:

Absolutely spot on. Great points IMO. (1) Yes - and target the new flight simmers. e.g. the many who I assume will migrate from X-Box after the MSFS 2020 X-Box release. They'll be buying new Win 10 machines. (2) True. And surely the Janes line proved there is a market for that level of play balance? (3) I was super impressed with the mods at http://yankeeairpirate.net/ (4) IMO, if he added Better lighting/atmospherics Elevation data - the billiard board terrain doesn't excite folk anymore More structures Upgrade the skin res (optional) and kept all the content the same = a winner! To illustrate 1,2 and 3, check out this screen from Project Wingman, made with the Unreal engine. This is what people expect these days.
