50 000 hours and 75th anniversary. 12°Gruppo.

Getting some F-35C time in. I need to find a color that I can see better for the HUD though

No.11 squadron also had their Mk.XII

thats wicked you guys are really taking it above and beyond my original concept. i just figured on show casing two different aircraft at a given transitional point in the unit's history like the 706th TFS swapping Hogs to Vipers on a rainy New Orleans day....

to many polys in one node can cause the wrong presentation in the game...if your fuselage is one mesh then I can see from here that it is too many polygons indeed. You will have to divide it into a few nodes - just do it smart and 'cut' pieces in 'smart' places. smoothing groups will work but I gues you have unwelded vertexes, then it means you have double or triple count of polys. Select by drag and click one vertex - if it will display vertex (example ) 235 selected than it is ok...if menu will display '3 vertexes selected' than you have to Select vertexes in area and click target weld and set range to 0,001 this should solve problem. And you have to do it probably to whole model.

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XII - No.6 Squadron, Royal Dhimari Air Force, 1946

I was working hard on a very historical skin and then I don't know, I lost it... a little update / the anti glare panel is needed for the real bird Something related but still not the bird I want to do (LOD is done since 18 months) And this is the bird I wanted to make at first : Still some details to do

Exactly the solution! Thank you very much!

That means good news! We look forward to that new version you said. 😊 Thanks for all your work in this mod. It is awesome because the big content and for the presentation (that CD/DVD style box art). When flying a mission or even when using the menu screens one can imagine all the hours of work to create this. Maybe, with a bit of luck we will see a flyable Su-24 with cockpit in the next update 😉

Does we have already the GPU-2/A gunpod for the A-4 Skyhawk?

You have the latest if you downloaded it after January 19, 2022. A new version with many additions and improvements hopefully happens by the end of the year. I might include the complete change logs of all released and unreleased versions in it, if users are so keen to know about its development history.

Okay. Yeah I did this video and it shows how stealthy the F-35C is compared to the Growler. The RWR works just well... it takes a while for the radar to lock onto the target, as in this video:

P.S. After about a week, I finally got the max2009 available again, and the import problem of the animation has almost been solved. The only problem that has no progress at this stage is the previous (Apparently I've also had problems with smoothing group after switching to max2009, I hope I can fix it myself, but if any sir or madam would give me a light bulb of wisdom, I'd appreciate it) Still on the way to learn more! BTW, I would like to clarify that I will not release the Sukhoi model in the picture. The model does not belong to me and it is unethical to release it. I am only using it to learn the necessary modding skills

I haven't flown a combat mission in the game for a long time myself. But if I do fly I tend to just use the EA-18G depending on the map, but usually the EA-18G. I may try the F-35C though.

It certainly runs on Win 10 x64 ! My installation is for years and never had a problem runing it on Win 10. If it doesn't work it's not the OS, it's your configuration, there I think you should start searching. Win 10 has the same NT core as Win 7, that is why is running without issue.

View File MiG-25 cockpit fixes (actual MiG-25 cockpit by Centurion-1) MiG-25PD cockpit by Centurion-1 with fixes Notable fixes include: - removed gunsight. 25 doesn't really need it, most of the footage shows 25s without gunsight - fixed G-meter: added negative Gs and redid the layout to be more in line with the real thing - original model actually had airspeed indicator and altimeter confused - this was corrected. Altimeter is above (shorter needle shows thousands, longer hundreds, plus analogue counter), airspeed indicator is below (likewise - shorter needle shows thousands, longer hundreds) - fixed vertical velocity indicator. It wasn't working due to "values" being put in the wrong order (could be that it was working on older patches) - fixed compass and course arrow. They were calling non-existing nodes - added over-G and too much AoA lights above G-meter: not sure if realistic, but will do - added afterburner light near nozzle indicator - removed some lights and switch animations: they are cute, but very incorrect - MiG-25PD version gets new radar layout taken from MiG-23 radar: it makes sense as PD radar "Sapphire-25" was developed from "Sapphire-23" on MiG-23 - can't do anything about warning lights and gear/flaps indicators not working - cockpit model just lacks any light nodes - added some labels on instruments --------------- Install: remove old cockpit folder, *cockpit and *avionics files, drop in new ones, rename accordingly. Cockpit versions: 25P - for MiG-25P 25PD - for MiG-25PD/PDS 25PD uses avionics70 dll! Make sure to address it in the init file: AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll 25PD is tuned for MiG-25PD from Coyote Airspace. It is easily adaptable for older versions of PD/PDS, just change position values in *cockpit file. Submitter OlWilly Submitted 07/19/2023 Category Jet Cockpits  

Cool, I usually like to use F-35C and EA-18G paired to suppress enemy air bases

It has been far too long since my last post. Between my own health issue and my wife suffering from a nasty fall on the stairs, real life has precluded much campaign flying. I am well behind but will try to catch up. At least I don't have to worry about being out of sync with other contributors. With luck others can rejoin the campaign in time to take advantage of the two promised updates/expansions from OBD. These sound tremendously exciting. Journal of FLt Douglas Bell-Gordon, RNAS Part 18 30 April 1917. Auchel, France. "A small but intense puddle of flame appeared in front of the pilot." The battles around Vimy continued through until 12 April, but we were grounded for three days by bad weather – including sleet and late snowstorms. On 11 April, I led a flight of five machines over the lines near Arras and spotted a Hun two-seater. It dived away after I expended more than 200 rounds, but we could not tell if it crashed. Meanwhile Huntington continued with his claims. According to routine orders, he is to be awarded a bar to his Distinguished Service Cross. On 12 April, I was with a flight that encountered four Albatros scouts over Vimy. Because of the poor weather that day we very nearly collided before seeing each other. The fight was chaotic for the first few minutes – machines flashed past leaving time only for the briefest burst before one had to zoom or jink violently to avoid enemy fire. Then, as quickly as it had started, the “dog-fight” (as they are coming to be called) broke up. I spotted and dived upon a lone HA, a black Albatros with a white band around its fuselage. Closing to 50 yards, I fired a long burst and saw flames erupt from the engine. It was a horrible sight and I climbed away with only the briefest glimpse to confirm that the Hun was falling vertically streaming flame and thick black smoke. This one was confirmed for my eleventh victory. We flew once or twice every day in the week that followed and had several inconclusive scraps. On the ground, however, events were more interesting. Simpson, Reggie Soar, and I continued our correspondence with Huntington under the pen name of “Apollonia Willing.” And Huntington for his part gave into his baser instincts and fell head over heels for the young lady that we had invented. Every few nights, the three of us conspirators retired to Madame Girouard’s estaminet in Auchel, ordered a bottle or two of plonk, and wrote another letter to our boastful colleague. Things began to turn steamy when Apollonia regaled Huntington with the theme of a novel by Elinor Glyn that she had just read – one involving the heroine playing horizontal rugby on a tiger skin with a dashing young nobleman. Huntington rose to the bait. His return letter a day later was intercepted by Simpson. In it, Huntington described a lengthy and breathtaking conflict with Baron von Richthofen, the master Hun pilot who had made a considerable name for himself of late. He claimed to have come within a hair’s breadth of downing von Richthofen. According to the letter, the Baron pretended to surrender before cravenly diving away home when Huntington drew alongside him to salute his skill. “I am quite sure that I should have earned a Victoria Cross had the dastardly fellow not done me such a caddish turn,” he wrote. He then professed his deep love and shallow lust for Apollonia. In her response the following week, Apollonia fantasised about their future racy encounters when Huntington next came to England on leave. The jape was getting somewhat beyond our control. Huntington sent a package of lace underthings to Apollonia, which Simpson discovered and intercepted moments before it was picked up by the outgoing post despatch rider. Huntington had spent a fortune on this gift and we felt somewhat guilty that the woman he’d lavished his pay on was a figment of our evil imaginations. Reggie, however, secreted the items away and confided that he knew a place in Amiens where such things would be appreciated. We headed back to the estaminet in Auchel on the night of 19 April and, persuaded by a third bottle of wine, created an erotic masterpiece of a letter from Apollonia to Huntington, one that would certainly render him mad. Huntington continued to file claims, several of which were completely genuine but more of which were dubious. He was indeed a good scout pilot and a fine shot, but at least four claims were unwitnessed yet confirmed by Wing. One of our colleagues – I shan’t say which – voiced his scepticism in the wardroom and brought the wrath of Squadron Commander Bromet down on his head. Yet we were all of the opinion that the skipper was himself beginning to question Huntington. Still, Huntington now had twenty victories to his name and was due for leave. Indeed, if it were not for the current offensive and the pressure we were coming under from the number of superior German machines over the lines, he would likely have already headed back to England. Simpson, Soar, and I began to discuss ways to bring the whole charade to an end. On 25 April, I led a patrol of five Triplanes on a defensive patrol to the north. There were reports of several enemy observation machines on our side of the lines. After an hour of fruitless searching as far up as Armentieres, I turned south for one more sweep. A couple of miles ahead and to starboard, several light grey puffs of Archie betrayed the presence of a lone Hun. I signalled to the others that the chase was on. They soon left me behind as my machine was not giving full revs. This would not be my day, it seemed. But then it all changed. Crundall and Rex Arnold were well above and banging away at a DFW. The Hun turned on its side and fell into a vertical spin. I watched as it dropped past me and passed through a thin cloud. For whatever reason, I became suspect and dived after the two-seater. Sure enough, the Hun pulled out of the spin a couple of thousand feet above the ground. The observer was angrily pounding on the shoulders of the pilot. Poor fellow had been holding on for dear life all the way down. But this was no time for sympathy and I began firing from 150 yards. A small but intense puddle of flame appeared in front of the pilot. I watched in horror as a plume of black smoke poured from the stricken machine, which rolled slowly onto its back and fell in flames directly downward. The observer, just moments before angry after narrowly avoiding death, now fell free of the DFW and momentarily hung spreadeagled until his leather coat was torn away by the wind and he tumbled, disappearing into the backdrop of fields below. The Hun was confirmed as my twelfth. After the intensity of the past few weeks, April ended with a succession of uneventful patrols. It was announced this evening that leaves will be reinstated shortly. Huntington is off to Dunkirk tomorrow to receive his second DSC from the Admiral. He complained at dinner that he should really have received an invitation to an investiture at the Palace. “I really had planned on taking Apollonia along to meet the King,” he said. “Poor girl will have to make do with meeting my parents.” “We’ll need to meet for our correspondence club soon,” Simpson whispered to me over coffee and brandy. “This thing needs to be put away.”

end of the day...

I think honestly I'm glad they went with the F-35 as it looks better than the X-32 ever did. I don't think the X-32 could carry as much as the F-35 either though.

I hope this Fencer will be uploaded... P. 2007 : QRA mission for this early RAF Typhoon F2 !

KAF Typhoon. Big thanks to @compufat for making the repaint.

Not to go off topic too much, but some feedback as to the status of the Third Wire store since it's being discussed here...I bought SFI from the store about a month or 2 ago. Upon purchase I was immediately presented with a link to download SFI, but I didn't receive an email with my key for future downloads. The problem seemed to be related to the third wire store having an old email address from the time when I bought SFE and SFNA and then not having the opportunity to change it when I made my new purchase. So I emailed Third Wire customer support with a copy of my paypal receipt and I received an email with my new key the same day. Very good customer service as far as I'm concerned.

I couldn't help loading a Kh-41 on the Su-33. Yes, it is not equipped with the required pylon, but anyway...

kind of , it's chinese J-16, but I did modify it based on a Su-30, the model comes from a model trading website After all it seems that the Su-27UB for torno already exists, I guess I won't do a duplicate

Working on "Chrome Raptor" (skin work only), actually I think its real coating should be more like a mirror, just because the position of the photographer makes it look white But it seems that SF2 can't set the texture independently for some areas of the texture to have independent Glossiness/Reflection settings? So I've chosen to draw it white for now, what do you guys think?
