Time 2 Go

I do believe you man. I've been frustrated and pissed off at the whole thing since the invasion started. Just like with the Syrian Civil War or when Daesh steamrolled Iraq, or Libya when they started the air strikes on cities.

Here is a chart I have of armor arrays for Soviet/Russian tanks.

Oops, It seems the texture coordinates are flipped vertically. I'll investigate where exactly the bug is. As a workaround I think you can flip the texture vertically.

I reckon you guys have a thing or two to say about invasions by dictators getting too full of themselves

Each of those bags contains an array of 4S24 ERA panels. That plastic egg crate is what holds the plates at the proper angle. They are not filled with sand. https://thesovietarmourblog.blogspot.com/2017/12/t-72-part-2.html#4s24

Maybe "plasma jet"??? since the shaped charge warhead refelects from conical disc, and creates that jet of molten/plasma material.

Hi Everyone! It's been a very long time. Apologies for being away. Just wanted to post a brief hello and wish everyone well. I hope you are all doing okay - so much has happened over the last few years and like all of us, we've been weathering the pandemic. On a much much happier note, I just received my new rig (a wonderful birthday present) and I just had to say that WOFF runs like an absolute dream! Here's the specs! I'll follow up with screenshots as I get some seat time. So far, I'm utterly blown away by this thing! It's a different world from my 2015 Dell XPS system. Alienware R12 Windows 11 i9-11900KF @ 3.50GHz up to 5.10GHz RAM 32 GB nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 (10GB VRAM) For the first time ever, I have the settings dialed all the up and WOFF screams! Can't wait to fire up some new pilot careers and share some stories on the boards. Cheers! Rounds on me!

I found some photos through a Google search, and frankly Bu No's I don't know offhand, and probably would require a search. I'll see what I can do as I spotted another one, but from what I can tell all three were in VF-1 during that time (was present on two aircraft you may be referencing). I'll have to see how the TW bird handles the VF-1 logo. I was also thinking of doing a regular VF-1 scheme.

This bug is fixed in version 0.1.1.

I imagined it, pretty understandable!

At the moment i will make only a dry season tileset. Its a lot of work to do.

Avia S-92 Turbina - Escuadron 211, Ejército del Aire, 1952

I hear you, same with me.

Believe me or not, but I'm really trying to don't show how angry I am ...

A report on Jean-Fidele's time off will be forthcoming. However, I did want to note that as of 1 March 1916, he is back in active duty with Escadrille N26 in St. Pol-sur-Mer. Granted, it took him until his second mission to get rid of 6 weeks' worth of rust.

I think so, though years ago and I think on their topic in the Espanol section, but could have been here too, though it's been a while though.

27th October 1915 2nd Lieutentant Le Mesurier signed the last of a long stack of requisition forms and dropped them theatrically into a letter box. He looked across the squadron office to the Recording Officer, Captain Maitland, who was typing up a summary of the squadron's activities that day. It was raining again and the afternoon flights had been called off. “That consignment of dope still hasn’t arrived,” Le Mesurier observed. “If it isn’t here by lunchtime I shall take a truck to St Omer myself. How do they expect us to finish off repairs?” Mainland finished the page and released the catch on the typewriter, pulling the report out with a triumphant flourish. “Don’t forget the King's visit,” he told Le Mesurier. “Go first thing in the morning and be very nice to the quartermaster and you might be back in time.” “Good point, Le Mesurier conceded. He stood up and straightened his tunic. “And now I’ll just see if the Old Man will see me.” A look passed across the RO’s face. Whether it was concern or exasperation was unclear. “You want to ask if you can fly again? What did the doctor say?” Le Mesurier wrinkled his nose, “He wants me to build my constitution first. It was only a bout of ‘flu! I should be up there doing my part! Not sitting around here doing...sorry.” “It’s alright,” relied the RO. I'm not an airman myself, but I understand the appeal, compared to office work. You've made a real difference here keeping things running during the push, you know. The thing with the fixing fluid...” “Fixing fluid this time, barbed wire last year,” Le Mesurier waved his hand dismissively. “It isn’t what I expected when I signed up. I left the Engineers to get away from this. The pilots have largely forgotten I can fly. I overhead one describing me as a penguin yesterday.” “Penguin?” “Has wings, can’t fly.” “I hope he doesn’t call the Major that,” Maitland commented. “It would not go down well.” After lunch the next day, the officers and men of 2 squadron were assembled in parade order at the north end of the landing field at Hesdigneul. The reason for this was no secret on the squadron. Indeed it couldn’t be. Preparations for the King’s visit had gone on all morning. General Haig had arranged a specially trained horse, a chestnut mare, to carry the King during the visit. According to the attending grooms, the horse had become accustomed to lying next to a bass drum as the band practised. Everyone agreed that she was a lovely horse. His Majesty arrived by motor car, which stopped at the edge of the aerodrome field and the King mounted the horse with the assistance of General Haig. Haig’s superior, Sir John French was present and tried to help, but the King waved him away. His Majesty, the King rode forward toward the white picket rope that delineated the edge of the ‘parade ground’ that Major Becke had set out. As he approached, the men of the squadron let out a patriotic cheer. The sudden roar startled the mare, who rocketed upwards, tripping on the picket rope as she did so. In a moment the horse fell backwards and onto her rider. Men and officers ran forward. King George seemed curiously calm, Le Mesurier thought. He was wincing from the pain, but did not cry out. “Sergeant,” Le Mesurier called to Butcher, who was standing on the other side of scene. “Get this horse lifted. We need to get his Majesty free.” Men and officers (mainly NCOs actually) worked to free the King from the horse and the slippery mud. They pulled him up and headed for the car. Sir John French hovered over the King without actually doing anything productive. “Your Majesty,” he said, “we must get you back to England.” King George grunted as he was settled into the back seat. “A long journey would seem, ah, unwise, Sir John.” “The Germans, your Majesty. If they found out where you were...” but the King had had enough of French. He looked at General Haig, “tell Sir John to go to hell.” A few days later, Major Becke called Le Mesurier to his office. “There has been a meeting back at St Omer,” Becke told him. “Usual stuff mainly, but the Wing have been instructed to release our ‘superfluous clerk.’ Which would be you, Le Mesurier. You are to return to flying duties immediately. Nothing to strenuous, I’ll have you patrolling over the King’s chateau. Make sure the Hun doesn’t get near him. ‐------------------- And that’s my explanation of where Le Mesurier disappeared to. The account of the King’s accident is put together from 3 different sources. The King was definitely having problems with Sir John at this point. The quote about telling Sir John where to go really happened a few days later while King George was under sedation in the chateau. Maurice Baring records a meeting a few days later in which 1st Wing were told to release a superfluous clerk. It probably wasn’t a resting pilot though. The real reason for my absence has been sickness. If it was in the normal part of the campaign, it would only be a few weeks, rather than the months I had to account for!

hasn't he shown screenies of a Veritech before?? IIRC

to hell with the SU-57 I want the zentraedi!!!!!, who joins ?

I have played it in VR on my Ryzen 5800, but I have never looked at the task manager. I can't perform the same exact test because it doesn't have the Vietnam Air & Ground War installed, but I can play the same mission.

Yes, you are correct. The solid TOD objects of a tile share the same texture (atlas) defined by SolidObjectTexture (and respectively the alpha objects share the same texture defined by AlphaObjectTexture). Thats how the game engine works and there is nothing I can do about it. That also means objects that use different texture files can not be imported and used together in a tile. The objects must be first remapped to use the same texture atlas that also has to be created. I should update the readme.txt to clarify that restriction.

End of February 1916 Stats: Sous-lieutenant (in-game sergent) Auguste Alaric Besson, Escadrille N.23, Luneville aerodrome, Nieuport 10 & 12. 33 missions 47.72 hours No claims or victories. 1 wounding The War Diary of Auguste Besson, Escadrille N.23, part 9. Time passed slowly at the Chalons military hospital. Fortunately my head injury did not show any signs of infection and steadily improved. However, effects of the concussion prevented me from flying for several weeks. The only entertainment I had was thanks to my comrades from the escadrille paying me the occasional visit. They even managed to smuggle me a bottle of Spanish red wine – an amusing reference to my nickname. While I was away, the escadrille received a new type of machine – the Nieuport 12 two-seater. With its excellent speed of 150 km/h, a powerful 110 hp Clerget rotary engine, a rear-facing Lewis machine gun for the observer on a mount designed to provide an improved field of fire, and the possibility of adding a forward-facing Lewis gun on the top wing for the pilot, the Nieuport was considered to offer more than adequate protection from the menacing boche Fokker monoplanes. I returned to the escadrille at the end of the first week of February and was soon test flying the new machines. Despite the occasional headache, and a sore spot on my scalp, I felt well enough for combat duties again. With our combination of Nieuport 10’s and 12’s, we knew the escadrille was now equipped better than ever and fully capable of bringing the fight to the enemy. Weather became terribly bad again in the middle of the month, so it was a relatively quiet period for us. There was also time for some leisure activities, the most memorable of which was a football game against the fellow aviators of Escadrille C.43 – sadly, we lost the game 5–4, though not without putting up a good fight first! I was not able to play for fear of injuring my still sore head again. Considering that I have never been much of a football player, I doubt my modest efforts would have influenced the outcome. Everything changed on Monday, February 21. The meteorologists had finally predicted us some decent flying weather, and we were prepared to fly reconnaissance missions to find out what the boche had been up to in our sector in the preceding days of rain and high winds and poor visibility. After 7 o’clock in the morning, a deep rumbling sound suddenly became audible in the distance. It resembled thunder, except that it was an almost perfectly steady and constant noise, which thunder never really is, even during the worst of storms. Everybody gathered outside to listen. A few men suggested it was indeed thunder, but no one truly believed that. The sound was coming from the direction of Verdun – a distance of about 100 km from our aerodrome, as the crow flies. No, it was clearly an artillery barrage – and a massive one at that. We had no information about what was happening, and flew our morning flights normally. However, I did have a bad feeling about the whole situation. I had seen and heard artillery fire many times before, but this barrage was something entirely different in its sheer intensity. It was still going on when we returned to the aerodrome. By then, the army headquarters had confirmed our suspicions in a telephone call to the Captain – the barrage was indeed happening at Verdun, evidently in preparation for a massive German attack. We flew no more missions that day, as things were quiet in our sector and the boche had not made any suspicious moves during the days of bad weather. Most of us pilots gathered outside to listen to the steady rumble of guns. To me, it was a deeply surreal feeling to be standing there, trying to imagine what it must be like to face such fire in person. Then, after about ten hours of constant shelling, the noise stopped. The silence that followed felt dreadfully ominous to me. A hundred kilometres from our peaceful airfield the future of France would then be decided. TO BE CONTINUED...

Yes. The editing of the line in the data.ini was successfull. The LOD building now has the intended skin. Thanks. But there is a new problem: Theposition of the skin on the LOD object is wrong. Looks funny, isnt it!

Hello Everyone, Today’s DD brings us some very cool renders of the Me 410 A-1 cockpit. It’s a very unique cockpit and has been a challenge to build, but it’s looking great now and heading into the final stretch. We continue to work on our next update which we hope will be next week. It will be a good one with the new sky and new airplanes like the Ju 88 C-6, Gotha G.V. and we think possibly the Handley Page O/400. Me 410 A-1 Cockpit in Development And our colleague =DED= Rapidus just handed me a link to a short video of our new sky and Ju 88 C-6 in action that he filmed while testing the Beta. You may want to check out. Has some funky beats. 🙂 *Any artifacts are caused by YouTube compression. Enjoy. The Sturmovik Team

View File TW F-14A Ferris Scheme My best rendition of the Ferris scheme applied to the TW F-14A. It has some inaccuracies due to the mapping of the aircraft, but still came out pretty good. Simply drop in your F-14A_77 folder and go fly. It can be found under "Ferris Scheme" in the drop down menu. Submitter EricJ Submitted 03/04/2022 Category F-14  

Told ya that a camo schme made from water paint would not last :) Skin pack V2.0 about to be done!

Quick and dirty digital camo....

A new mod with two-seaters will be available soon. See the post in the Mods release thread and on SIm Hq forum These are some of the ones that would not fit on the Mods release thread The biggest impetus behind my beginning this group of skins was a new wing for the Rumpler that had lozenge camouflage on the bottom as well as the top and had, in my opinion, the proper size lozenges and orientation of the panels.

I was bored with tiling the vietnamese chinese borderland. Because of that i made an attempt to create the island of Alderney for the BoB terrain. It are still a jpg tiles, no water effect so far. That will come later.

Remain calm and composed Rick. It's Bueller's day off.

It helps without the sand, but not very much. It is not an ERA. An ERA has explosives inside. It is a simple spaced armour, which is intended to ignite the fuse of a shaped charge warhead befor he can reach the basic armour. If it is filled with sand the build up of the Hohlladungsstachel (sorry i miss the english term, perhaps shaped charge beam or stinger or so) is hampered. If it is made correct you will get not one big Hohlladungsstachel, but a lot of smaler ones, which are less powerfull. To say some numbers: In the T-72 turret you will find a inlet of melted sand (Sandstäbe) wich is 13 cm thick. This inlet is as good as 40 cm steel. Today is this outdated, but in the 1970th it was good.
