Now, it's Wednesday in my time zone and I'm thinking why not create a thread myself. With the continuous upgrading and iteration of materials and electronic technology, several major countries have entered an era where 4th and 5th generation fighter are the main force, and even 6th generation fighter are already on the way. This is definitely my favorite part. So here it comes,every Wednesday, showcasing these most powerful birds in the sky. (The protagonist should be fighters of 4th generation or above)

Classic

Over Alaska ! From the old F-15A Eagle created by the Mirage Factory. The F-15A had paved the way for the future combat aircraft... P.

some more squirrel moments while setting up another upload

T-7A Red Hawk lead in fighter.

them tail tgas need to come around 0.60-0.75 forward, around 0.25-0.35 up i worked on Vipers too much back to the 4th gen goodness, straight outta Osan

1980 : F-15 Eagle over Alaska ! From the TMF F-15A (SFP1 exe packaged) with the modded removed "turkey feathers" and its original "A" cockpit with SF2 avionics update.

Recon Flight......

Trick or bloody treat

Hello everyone! I am certain that there are simmers out there in this community that still fly old simulations for sake of nostalgic and enjoyment. For me, it is the wonderful old Jane's series simulation. There is no another sim that do amazing jobs with it, especially with the ACCESSBILITY. I had to say it many times. there were time when people asked me "Why didn'tyou fly Flaming Cliff 3 for "low fideity' sim? SF2 is so old? Jane's series sim, it is so ANCIENT sim!" Becasue it does not have accessbility that Janes' series sim and SF2 have: Subtitles and target box that help me spotting them, along with arrow for padlocking, due to sensory disability. Another amazing features of Jane's Fighter Anthology / Jane's IAF / Jane's USAF and another Jane's sim is amazing tutorials and training. it actually feel very involving and immersive experiences for me. No another sim does that before. I wish SF1 / SF2 would have that immersive experiences, but again, it was develloped by 1 man so it can't be helped. Jane's comat simulation was developed by team. However, another thing I love about Jane's series sim is excellent "low fideity" envoriment. SF2 is the only sim that came in excellent envoriment after Jane's series sim. However, SF2 still is lacking of enriched air to ground targetting system / radar / other anvionics that Jane's IAF / USAF / other sim have. (Jane's FA is too basic, I do realize, but it was their firs tsteps toward advacing into more advanced features in next generation simulation in the 1990s.) And this might will surprise peope, I am currently working on mods for Jane's Fighter Anthology and Jane's USAF. for jane's USAF, it is texture overhaul projects. I am currenlty on a break from SF2 because it requires too much times of researching for accurate data, being just one man project, I do not have that time for now. If I do have time for it with great resources on my hand, I might will restore the projects (SFCE). However, .I have been looking everywhere to find the right tools to view / open .P3D files for Jane's USAF. Have anyone successfully opened or view the old 3D models? With that, I wil be able to quickly preview the 3D model with the new super resolution texture (By upscaling them 4x or 8x, work on it, then re-size it to 2x of the orignial resolution). Just in case, if any of you wonder why I am modding ancient simulation? It is the same reasons with the people who mods the old classic car and modernize them. Same thing with old furnitures and technologies. I am like that with the old simulation. I want to modernize them as much as possible.with excellent software and technologies we have now. It is straight from passions and heart. it is a shinig gems for us who loves old simulation that enriched us with childhood joyful memories. I still fly SF2 from time to time, because it is also one of my gems. I wish there are newer simulation that does 'lwo fideity' like Jane's series sim and SF2, with excellent accessiblity features. Thank you, Eagle114th

Dassault Super Mystère B.2, Jagdbombergeschwader 32, around 1958

Good grief Spinners! You’ve given us a flying Lada! If memory serves, the first generation of this type (before they put hinges in the wings) had about 8 minutes’ endurance when using afterburners. Probably why they invariably flew with 2 drop tanks on the fuselage pylons. (Not that the RAF had much to crow about there, cf EE Lightning - it was so fuel-hungry, it had tanks in its flaps.)

Well, at least it can fire...

JaboG 32 is not the Westfalen Sqn. JaboG 36 is called "Westfalen" ;-) Anyway nice work.

View File Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R This skinpack is a representation of the 100th Air Refueling Wing at RAF Mildenhall during the 1990s. Tracing its lineage back to the 100th Bomb Group of WW2, the 100th has featured nose arts on its tankers throughout the year, often replicating or paying tribute to nose arts from the original Bloody Hundreth Included* two skins; one 1993 in the Shamu scheme and one 1998 in the AMC grey scheme decals for both skins including nose arts for all aircraft that had them Required a legal functioning install of any SF2 version KC-135R aircraft and sounds, found in the download section https://combatace.com/files/file/12454-mirage-factory-c-135ab-and-kc-135aer/ Installation unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc) allow overwrites fire up game, take off and go pass gas Known Issues -This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit. -Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds *Wagner CD not included Credits BPAO (Olivier Anguille, RIP) - original model Dave- head of original released original project Dels- C-130 cockpit yakarov79- drogue basket model, original skin templates Wrench- tech advice, approval master extrodinaire daddyairplanes- research, ini edits, texture and tga work, new additions to templates ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

Supermarine Syrena F.1 - No.111 Squadron, RAF Fighter Command, 1962

Aerodrom Evreux, again. I made a new tile, so that i can place this big base at 3 tiles. Then i added the last two round dispersal areas to this monster base. In the next step i will place the parking positions for planes.

Beautiful work!!

That is an understatement..........

Old but not that old

A little A-7 action for a Monday

AMI Fiats

thank you for beatin me to it Viggen woulda answered my self, but this has been...... challenging. the wings still arent 100% as im still hunting good top views of teh camo. what i have so far is based off of frontal and rear take off pics, and Metrea's own page on Artstation. as well as model limits the fuse/tail shapes are set, individual markings locked in, but i'm not liking how the colors look in game vs lodviewer. will tighten that up a bit tomm and see if i can get better pics of the wing tops
