Pilots, we have a new assignment. You have long awaited to fly over these skies. You're finally being deployed to... Italy, Southern Europe (1963-1991) As war looms between NATO and the Warsaw Pact over Central Europe, Yugoslavia and Hungary are planning to bring the fight to Italian territories. Possible support to this war plan is expected from Albania and Romania. Italian forces and American units stationed on the beautiful peninsula and around its seas are on alert as Switzerland and Austria mantain their neutrality. Italy, Southern Europe (1993-2006) The breakup of Yugoslavia has happened and conflicts erupt in the heart of the Balkans. NATO is planning offensive operations against Serbia with the intent of supporting the independence of Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnia is almost entirely under the control of Serbian factions. Serbia can count on the support of Montenegro against the upcoming NATO bombings.

The second file is uploaded, have fun.

Tower check at Saki Air Base. This tower building was made by Yakarow. It is part of the NITKA system for training of carrier pilots.

Il terreno dell'Italia e dei Balcani sarà prossimamente disponibile, un modesto preview qui: All pilots, scramble! New terrains inbound! - Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion - CombatACE Saranno disponibili due versioni, una per la Guerra Fredda, l'altra per i terribili conflitti successivi alla dissoluzione della Jugoslavia. I terreni non sono completi come avrei voluto; sebbene la topografia sia molto accurata con moltissimi fiumi e laghi riprodotti manualmente con immensa pazienza, e nonostante la gran cura e ricerca nell'aggiungere tutti i possibili aeroporti, postazioni SAM e siti radar, i terreni mancano di obiettivi da distruggere nelle città. Non ci sono dunque edifici, fabbriche, ponti etc. che renderebbero completa l'esperienza. Il 2022 è stato finora per me un anno molto difficile. È passato un anno da quando ho iniziato a soffrire di un problema di salute che mi priva di energie nonostante la mia giovane età. Sviluppare questo scenario dei Balcani è stata una esperienza non piacevole, data la complessità dell'area e la mia ossessiva volontà di riprodurla con molta fedeltà con gli strumenti a disposizione. Seppur non completo al 100%, ho ritenuto sia il momento di rilasciare questo mio lavoro così come è. Se mai le mie condizioni dovessero migliorare, sarei più che felice di rimetterci mano in futuro per sistemare eventuali bug e aggiungere targets per le città. Dopo il rilascio, prevedo di prendermi una seria pausa dal modding. Ringrazio quel che è rimasto della community di Strike Fighters per il supporto e l'affetto mostratomi. Mi auguro che questo terreno, seppur incompleto, possa riaccendere una qualche fiamma negli appassionati della serie. A presto!

Dagger Flight...

Carpet Bombing...Let the bodies hit the floor...

Fixed the missile but I need to make the booster release earlier than what I have.

Trying to fly, making terrible videos.

New scenarios coming in 1 week (or the usual 2, who knows?). Gentlemen, get ready for battle! Today we show you one of three world hotspots where you may be deployed... Texas, American South Central (1968-2018) Supported by the Russians, Central American regimes stage an invasion of Mexico. The remnant of the Mexican military flees to the U.S. and fights alongside North American forces.

Booster time in SF2 world concerning MANPDAS is the short time between launch and the inception of missile engine. Keep in mind that initially the missile is thrown out of the tube (with relatively low speed) and then missile engine starts. This short period is usually between 0.2-0.3 seconds in older MANPADS such as SA-7.

WIP SitRep: I'm still working on Kachowka high dam. Swambast made the dam object. And i think it looks great. I made 3 new tiles and puzzled all together. As you can see, the hight field around the dam is not yet correct. And on the last screnshot you can realize, that i have forgotten to repaint one tile. it has still a little part of the former greenish river color. It has to be fix.

add release animation 1-2 frames - move model forward 3-4 meters + deploying fins. then delayed booster then sustainer. I think I did it for 9M111 or I was planning to test it that way....not sure it was a long time ago and now I can not check...

The real data for Strela 2 booster are: duration of the booster 0.5 seconds, duration of the sustainer 2.0 seconds. But there is also "start booster". I dont know the correct english term. We call it in german "Ausstoßladung". It pushes the missile out of the container. This needs 0.3 seconds. At a distance of 5 meters from launcher the booster starts to operate.

Ciao Menrva, mi dispiace per i tuoi problemi di salute. Spero non sia niente di grave e che ti rimetta completamente. Sicuramente il lavoro sarà all'altezza della qualità a cui ci hai abituati, anche con qualche mancanza o bug, non credo nessuno abbia da ridire. L'importante è che tu ti riprenda. In bocca al lupo.

If you mean "release delay" then you just leave it "0". That value is needed for other missile types which in real life they have a short delay between launch command and engine inception.

That's great, my F104S are ready to scamble !

First of the Afghan SA-7 uploaded.
