    You could be a bit more polite and grateful... instead of whining like a b*tch... There are other sites and fora regarding SF where you have NO downloads unless you pay and/or register... This community is mostly a labour of love... but the site doesn't run on air... So I hope you tone down and be happy with the arrangements they made here. A lot of modders offer their work here, and a simple thank you would suffice...

    Nieuport 27 skins of Escadrille 471 "Second Lafayette Escadrille" for First Eagles 2 This is a full squadron pack of skins & decals focused on the history of the "Second Lafayette Escadrille" - Escadrille 471. Historical notes: STRIKE FROM THE AIR THE EARLY YEARS OF THE US AIR FORCES by TERRY C. TREADWELL "On 15 February 1918, three former members of the Lafayette Escadrille – Lieutenants Meredith Dowd, Joseph Gill and George Willard – were transferred and joined the 2nd Escadrille Américaine, which was renumbered Esc.N.471 and became known unofficially as the Second Lafayette Escadrille. According to some historians, the squadron accounted for six enemy planes and one balloon, but little else is known about it. How or why it was given the same number as the original Lafayette Escadrille is not known, but it is thought it may have been initiated by the three pilots – Dowd, Gill and Willard – who were transferred to the squadron. There is one other possible explanation, however; the Camp Retranché de Paris Escadrilles numbered from 461 to 470 and the N.471 was created out of increasing demands to defend Paris. It is an accepted fact that both sides were desperate for pilots as the aircrew loss rate was extremely high. It was because of this that the 2nd Escadrille Américaine was created and fifteen other pilots were assigned to the squadron. The ground crews and support personnel were all French and the squadron was put under the command of Lieutenant Le Comte Sanche de Gramont as part of Groupe de Chasse 21, which was under the command of Colonel LeClerc. The squadron formed up at Le Bourget Field and began the task as ‘Defenders of Paris’, with particular attention being paid to the night raids carried out by German bombers. The aircraft supplied to the squadron were Nieuport 27s, used at the time as flight trainers. The mechanics soon fitted night landing flares on the lower wings, but these proved to be totally useless. Their tireless patrols were barely more than just a ‘flexing of muscles’ and the Germans continued to advance; so much so, in fact, that the squadron had to relocate to Château-Thierry, some 37 miles away. Things were now so desperate that orders went out to the pilots to fly low level along the German trenches and shoot everything that moved. This tactic, of course, was bound to take its toll in casualties, and the first to fall was the commanding officer Lieutenant Comte de Gramont on 3 July 1918. His place was taken by Lieutenant Walter L. Avery, USAS, who soon proved his worth by taking part in one of the fiercest ground-strafing missions that took place appropriately on 14 July, Bastille Day. For nearly two months the squadron flew virtually continuous strafing missions against the German ground forces, and by the middle of July the tide had been stemmed. The German advance had been halted and they had begun their retreat. The threat to Paris was over and the squadron was disbanded, the Americans being sent to various fighter squadrons. The 2nd Lafayette Escadrille was no more, but it had proved its worth. The transfer of the American pilots from the Lafayette Escadrille to the various USAS squadrons was held up for a period of more than six weeks. They were regarded as ‘civilian pilots’ no longer in the service of France but not recognized as members of the US Air Service. The formation of the 103rd Pursuit Squadron on 18 February saw the problem resolved". ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ** What you will find in this Nieuport 27 skin Pack: - A full set of skins & decals to 32 Nieuport 27s used by Esc 471 from February 1918 to July 1918. Some serial numbers to those planes are historicals others not. Skins using JPG textures but I'm also including the the BMP files. - Two optional folders. One in French camo pattern "ESC 471" & other in silver-dope pattern "ESC 471 Silver Dope". All folders with 32 decal serials. - 6 special skin folders focusing some of knowed pilots of the Escadrille 471, like the CO. Lt. Walter Lindsey Avery, (who 1st victory was the german ace, Carl Menckhoff), Lt. Lansing Colton Holden, Jr (Later an Ace with seven victories when flying in 95th Aero Squadron), Lt. Lawrence Eugene Cauffman, Lt. Winthrop Niles Kellogg and one Nieuport 27 skin for an unknown pilot of the ESc 471. - New textures for the N27_FAS cockpit with new instruments. Using JPG textures. I'm including the 3D LODs by EmlD. - New optional hangar screen for Escadrille 471 in 1920x1200 size. You will find this in the "HANGAR SCREEN" folder. To use it, you must drop or copy the jpg file in your N27_FAS aircraft main folder, next, edit your N27_FAS.ini file. and add this line: [AircraftData] HangarScreen=HANGARSCREEN 471.jpg <------ add this line ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - I painted new textures for the cockpit, with a new "GLASS.tga" to complement all of them. The gauges & needles were made as close as possible to the real instruments. - Releasing two versions: One in 1024x1024(JPG & TGA) and other in 2048x2048(JPG & TGA). - I seted the 1024x1024(JPG & TGA) as standard for the planes. - Two optional cockpits. One with ammo box in wood and other with ammo box in metal. *OBS: If you are running a low-end computer I do not recommend the use of 2048x2048 cockpit textures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: - You will need the 3d LODs (N27_FAS.LOD, N27_FAS_2.LOD, N27_FAS_3.LOD, N27_FAS.OUT) edited to use JPG textures instead of the original Bmp textures. If you do not have these 3d LODs, you could find it on my "EmlD Nieuport 27 E (trainer)" file here. https://combatace.com/files/file/17789-emld-nieuport-27-e-trainer-for-first-eagles-2/ FE2 INSTALLATION (SKINS) - Drop or copy the folder "N27_FAS" from mine "Aircraft" folder to your "Aircraft" folder.

    i'll go a few years later bad thing about the older topics, sometimes you gotta take a really educated guess. this is similar to the ADFs they flew before block 25, but no references specifically of the wing king in 1997-8

    The sipri.org arms transfer database is another source, at least for an initial lead on various things. From memory: Egypt started with 9J's on the F-4E, quickly supplanted by AIM-9P-3 and also received AIM-9P-4 later in the 80's for F-16C. AIM-7E and E-2 for F-4E (dont know atm if they received the improved E-3). Mirages were fitted with Magic 1 and modified for AIM-9P-3, Ive seen photos of both configurations. The Farmers were modified for the 9P-3. EDIT: missile type (and some other info) from the 10+ years old Osprey books is outdated.

    Hello everyone, Report for today: It have been quite a journey gathering the information while getting advice from our fellow modders here. (Thank you Crusader, DaddyPlanes, and everyone involved with this project), I have been working a lot on making copies of air to ground ordinances, ECM, and other equipment for Iranian F-4Ds and F-4Es. I am very happy with the result. After finding out some information about F-4Ds and F-4Es ordinances for air to ground (I am still digging even more through time): http://www.iiaf.net/f4/ This is the result with F-4Ds and F-4Es limited weapon selections: NOTE: This is still WIP, which means it will be improved further through times.

    oh i was gettin happy to help since i was just tinkering with that in the Vipers.... but Crusader beat me to it by half a day, although i havent been on site til a few minutes ago as to the Egyptian missiles, look up the name of the Foriegn Military Sales contracts that it fell under (I think most anything Egyptian falls under Peace Pharoah, but not 100% sure for the Phantoms) then use your google fu to hunt down what else was in that contract. every focuses on the "24 Phantoms" or "48 F-16s". but in magazine, books and news clips its "$36 million worth of air to air missiles" anything over 10 years old should be able to be looked up (maybe even newer than that ). Look up Peace Pharoah I (just an example) and see what what contracted for. look at the national archives website, the stuff thats public knowledge (legally) should be accessable there that, once you line up deliveries with times, should tell you what was carried

    View File VoiceAttack Profile for SF2 This is a basic profile for use in VoiceAttack so you can speak to your wingmen and squadron to command them instead of hitting keys - voiceattack does the pressing for you. All spoken phrases are fully editable within Voiceattack, so you can change any to whatever suits you, doesn't matter what you say, so long as it's in the profile and matches the programmed keypresses. Makes the game a little more immersive and fun. But it won't make your wingmen actually obey the commands any more than usual The separate Voiceattack program is required, but only costs a small fee to buy.
