What if a small ship wants to be an aircraft carrier.

real life exceeds all expectations

This video is the closest that I found in the net for recorded Dogfight.

Here is one with MiG-29s of the Bulgarian Air Force dating back some 10-15 years ago: The pilot talking and wearing an all-white helmet with sun shades lifted is the current President of Bulgaria, who used to be a MiG-21 and then a MiG-29 pilot. Sadly both the audio and the subtitles are in Bulgarian. Practically, the video represents a MiG-29 attack on an enemy aircraft, starting with a R-27 long-range missile, then a R-73 or a R-60 short-range missile and lastly an attack with the gun.

you know, there was an aggressor squadron standing up in PACAF in 1988-89. had that same grey and blue/green pattern and bort numbers on the half dozen birds they recieved but then the cut backs started and they were disestablished before they really got going. bulk of their birds went to Osan iirc speaking of....

I assume that we can get these planes (mainly the Corsair) from here and not DAT correct?

Good evening everyone I've posted an update to this mod. this was because 1) i discovered a bad decal ini mix up that blanked part of the left side, and two decided that shrinking the fuselage and tail tgas by 25% would keep the detail but really reduce the file size. It is now down to 4.45 GB, down from its original almost 8GB size as before, if you dont intend to fly in a given decade, you can save even more space by deleting those particular folders (60s, 70s or 80s) when you choose to download, there is an ini fix folder for those that downloaded prior to 24 June 2023; a folder of just the resized tgas and the entire mod in the "707" file

View File Skin Pack for TMF Boeing 707-300 TMF Boeing 707-300 Comprehensive Skinpack This mod will replace the individual skins for the TMF 707 and adds my multi airline skins to it, covering the eras from the early 1960s until the late 1980s and will add some eye candy to your parking ramps or make for interesting intercept and escort targets INSTALLATION This is only a skin pack with some additional items. First you will need the original located here: then unzip and add this mod as well. allow overwrites. You can delete the previous skins if you want, as they are represented in the skin pack IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NATIONS.INI, ADD FROM THE GIVEN TEXT FILE. This is for heavily modded installs INCLUDED Decal sets covering most major users from 1959 until 1989 Skins to cover that time period in 9 blocks, with bare metal base skins Nations and Formations ini for the "Airline" nation KNOWN ISSUES Number 1: THIS THING IS BIG! the fuselage tgas are 2048x2048 (working with details over an entire fuselage rather than basic colors and curves) and the biggest sets are representing 32 airlines in their era! So this is not for the small of HDD space Number 2: Due to quirks in the model, and ease for the modder it is not 100% aligned as in RL. the cabin windows are a little lower (which allowed the logos to go one easier), and the curves tend to stop short of the radome. Number 3: this uses the Herc pit to be flyable. I ad it to be able to check the decals, but leave it for those that may want to use it. The pit is a piss poor match however, both with frames blocking and the higher tech than available even into the 80s for civilian birds It is meant as eye candy, not operational missions. Number 4: due to the size of things, some of the lettering is not to legible when you get close to it. Again, eye candy, its meant to be seen from the runway when taking off or on an intercept. If your that close to see "hey it really is fuzzy" you will probably collide. Besides, the thing is huge as is at teh current tga size UNSOLICTED ADVICE I am one of those that likes all encompassing mods. If you have a certain era you would rather focus on, by all means delete the other eras that you don't need. Again this thing is huge, but covers almost every user from 1959 through 1989.

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  

View File A-7 Corsair II 1983-1991 skin pack. SLUFs of grey. Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for US Navy A-7E Corsair II. This mod covers late years of use. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series. I highly recommend creating a new aircraft - for example A-7E_83. I have added a data file that will add a new pilot and new SJU seat along with HUD inside the cockpit. Just an eye candy thing. At the end of 1982, Navy SLUFs started to receive new seats and some minor upgrades in avionics. A-7E_83_Data will add a new pilot, new seat, make openable canopy and foldable wings. Adds landing light and removes Fuel tanks model objects from stations 2 and 7. As A-7 can not carry fuel tanks there. (you can use this remove_mod from a file on older Corairs also) The rest of the data file is basically stock one. So still no proper loadouts, rails for Shrikes / HARMs etc. If there will be demand I can upload new highly modified ini files at some point in the future/near future. Skins cover the years 1983-1991 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet. Decal set for 'Desert Shiled' VA-46 and VA-72 is slightly different than in the ODS-30AE pack. (it is downgraded so I recommend not messing with this - mixing with original ODS) Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the previous pack for hi-viz SLUF. So perhaps you can skip this folder but to be sure you can simply overwrite it. I believe there are two more serial numbers for VA-81 /1986. Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. Skin-set for 1986 VA-82 has one small 'bug' In 1986 they were painting bird flying through A in AJ tail code. But I could not find a clear photo of it. So I decided to go without a bird. This is subject to possible updates of the pack in the future. I could not find all proper BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears. I believe that pack after unp[backing is around 1GB. So make some space for SLUF. All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me. report bugs. enjoy. Jarek Hereda. P.S. This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. No need to panic! Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. I put a lot of effort and time, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. QUICK FIX! I just uploaded an additional seat called - seat_SJU-8. This is the proper seat that is required by optional data.ini. ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

The Kokusai Ki-59 masquerading as the Scottish Aviation Prestwick C.1...

Your words are basing on the statements of american pilots who flew the former egypt MiG-23MS during Red Flag exercises. And for this version the statement is correct. It is also correct for the MiG-23BN. Both planes had the same autopilot and the MiG-23 pilot needed the support of autopilot. Without the autopilot support the plane was a beast. The autopilot of the MiG-23MS and BN were slow and sluggish. They killed some good pilots. From MiG-23M it became better and the ML had a very good autopilot system. The MiG-23ML was a good fighter and when the USAF got 12 former LSK MiG-23ML for Red Flag all complains about bad plane behaviour ended. The MLD was even a step better. The list in this article is not my list. For me the top 7 worst soviet planes would be: 1. MiG-19PM, radar was more defect that working. The fuel system was leaking constantly. It was a nightmare for the ground crews 2. MiG-19S, very low readiness level due failure in engine and fuelsystem. 3. MiG-17PM, radar unreliable and often defect 4. MiG-3, underpowered, undergunned, useless in fight 5. MiG-2, medium catastrophe 6. Tu-104, to loud for passengers, terrible fuel economy 7. IL-62, real dangerous plane
