I have been working on this for a long time so it is time to share it with you defiant polite helmets from the 70s to today.

Or you could be patient and wait for the When Thunder Rolled Vietnam-era version (camo and natural silver metal masterful skinning with great appreciation to Carlo/Soufreak), but better be patient or PM us. Otherwise, grab the dilapidated version from other silly sources.

Hueys as Terrain Objects.....

Dassault Mirage F-1AG, JaBoG 31 "Boelcke", Norm 76 Camo, 1976 JaBoG 34 "Allgäu", Norm 83 Camo, 1984 Marinefliegergeschwader 2, Norm 76 Marine Camo, 1978

Since I"m only a pilot is a sim, does that make me a fake pilot too??? ----- I'll show myself out .....

Geary fixed the problem by removing the refueling probe and adding a new one via a fake pilot. As for old models in generic. Yes, some skin love can save the situation. But we have to remember... Someone created that old model to the best of his/her abilities and that is a good thing and even after years, we are still appreciating all stuff.... Or we make new ones. I guess without old ones we would not have new ones.

G'day!

Update Su-24

Maybe not the best, but certainly a very important fighter jet that allowed many countries to enter the jet age. To start with...few colourful Meteors. November 1945 Group Captain H.J. Wilson set a World Speed Record - 606.25 mph In 1946 Group Captain E. M. 'Teddy' Donaldson beat the record in another Meteor at 615.78 mph. Gloster Meteor F Mk.IV G-AIDC. Gloster Meteor T Mk.VII G-AKPK. But military history started in 1944. Gloster Meteor F Mk.1 1944/45. No.616 SQ. RAF Manston Gloster Meteor F Mk.3 1944/45. No.616 SQ. RAF Manston Gloster Meteor F Mk.3 1945. No.263 Sq RAF Manston Gloster Meteor F Mk.3 1946. No.74(F) Sq. RAF Bentwaters Gloster Meteor F Mk.3 1946. No.124 Sq. RAF Molesworth Gloster Meteor F Mk.3 1946.

View File Royal Meteors. 1944-1970. Royal Air Force Meteors. Bunch of Meteors for the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. This mod is not to compete with the previous Meteor mods that I was part of. It is just my, different approach. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. A fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, the Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is the original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy. 175 gal tank also. Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of aircraft lod. Yes, again Meteors. But I made this revamp to fix what I wanted to fix for some time already in old models..plus a few new things. So we have 22 different (more or less) aircraft. F Mk.1 - first 12 production Meteors with Welland I engines. Not all served in 616 Sq at the same time. Some were moved to RAE or Gloster Company for further development. F.Mk.3 - first 15 airframes with Welland I engine. F.Mk.3 - equipped with Derwent I engine. F.Mk.4 - High-Speed Record (Basically F.4 with long span wing from F.3 - Or F.3 with long Nacelles - depends on how you look at it - but serial is listed under F.4) - Anyway, bonus aircraft for speed record in 1945 and 1946. F.Mk.4 - fighter jet with Derwent 5 engines. T.Mk.7 - two-seat training jet. F.8 - represented in mod with 3 variants for the game. First with an early canopy hood. Then bubble canopy and the last one with a large bore engine intake...(mostly serials WK and WL...but at some point, you could have large intakes and early canopy...just a matter of when and where) FR.9 - fighter recon version in two variants early and late canopy. PR.10 - photo reconnaissance version NF.11 - radar night /all-weather fighter NF.13 - radar night /all-weather fighter with additional equipment for use in hot/tropical climate NF.12 - radar night /all-weather fighter NF.14 - radar night /all-weather fighter NF.14(trop) radar night /all-weather fighter with additional equipment for use in hot/tropical climates mostly prepared for No 60 Sq. But also served within units stationed in Great Britain. NF(T).14 - training version for Air Navigation Schools - Rebuild from NF.14 - no radar or armament. TT.20 - target tug aircraft with target sleeve for artillery practice (target sleeve is deployed as bomb bay doors - AI will open doors when approaching target). U.15 - target/research drone jet based on F.4 Meteor U.16 - target/research drone jet based on F.8 Meteor T7(TT) - separate version - target tug with target banner. - Should start in the air in single mission editor - while AI is taking off it will lose the banner on an airstrip. Tip... TT.20, U.15, U.16, and T.7(TT) are serving for nation=RAF but privately I have them as RAF-RED for 'training purposes' you can do that too, or screw this at all. Use it for your liking. I do not know how you are going to use those special aircraft...but it is here for general enjoyment. While RAF did not have in mind using Meteors for a ground attack there was a possibility to equip them with non-guided rockets (F.8 and FR9) or bombs (F.4/F.8/FR.9). So you can do it...but I set primary/secondary mission only CAS and armed recon for FR.9...but you can always edit it your way. I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. But I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea nor coffee. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed. Now all Meteors are using the same common color standard. Skins represent all squadrons that operationally used Meteors. Later at some point, after withdrawal many Meteors found some new home as squadron hacks..and could be found everywhere...almost. But those were single examples in specific markings. Those are not included in this mod. I Made a bunch of decals. Some squadrons have special markings on the fin to represent commanding officer aircraft (usually the correct serial number for a specific year), and some do not. Mostly code letter is generic and do not correspond with real code assigned to serial number. But in a few skin sets it is as it should be. You will see. Explore. Also, RAF letters folder should be added to the Decals folder I know it is big but it gives slightly better quality with still small file size All correct serial numbers for every Meteor version. Excluded are numbers that never served within the Royal Air Force or were sold to other countries from RAF inventory. this gives us 2918 individual serial numbers (I believe that is the number never counted what I did). There are many reasons why I have made things in this mod the way they are...versions, skins, and decals. A lot to explain but I doubt anyone wants to read about it anyway. Under no circumstances do not use any part of it with older Meteors done by me and published here in CA. These new ones have some differences in mapping. Some things were changed, some mapping issues and small thingies. So please do not mess up things. Credits. Veltro2k - the original old model of t7 Yours truly - model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research... No animal was harmed during the creation of this mod. Only Italian coffee was used, mod may contain cookie crumbs and nuts. Seat - all credits to the creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat. I guess the skin was painted by Kulbit. Pilots - RAF pilot by Geezer another one I have no idea / don't remember who did it. All credit to him/her. Weapons RP-3 rockets from Ravenclaw. This model is designed/checked only to work with Ravenclaw's RP-3 rockets - so there might be some strange positioning in other (stock) rockets. During the creation of squadron patches, I might have used the wrong crown on squadron crests. (according to the squadron timeframe)Gaffe indeed. All should have St. Edward's Crown but I am aware that some have Tudor Crown. It is not out of ignorance ...Hope this small faux pas can be forgiven. Have fun. Report bugs. * Expect the unexpected. Live long and prosper. Jarek Hereda THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE. UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it. Not like this mod is using some ancient or extraterrestrial files.. Submitter yakarov79 Submitted 12/17/2023 Category Meteor  

MiG-21SM over the Kuril Islands.

The biennial USAF World Wide Weapons Meet had began in June 1954 with Air Defense Command and Air Training Command being the sole competitors but by 1956 the meet was expanded to include nine teams representing seven major Air Commands and gaining the (then) unofficial nickname of 'William Tell'. William Tell 1965 was the largest in history with 16 teams and four categories but the demands and distractions of the Vietnam War meant that there was a five-year pause until 1970 when William Tell resumed at Tyndall AFB with twelve teams competing in an expanded competition with three teams in each of the four categories of jets competing at William Tell; the McDonnell F-101B, Convair F-102A, Convair F-106A and the new Saab-Fairchild F-13A with the latter being represented by the 125th FIW (Florida ANG), the 177th FIW (New Jersey ANG) and the 52nd FIW (New York ANG). The competitive flying ran from Monday, October 26th through Friday, October 30, 1970 and the three F-13A teams gained an early lead in the overall competition and the torrential rains in the middle of the competition only seemed to improve their position which ended with the 177th FIW from the New Jersey ANG winning the overall category and the F-13A category whilst the 125th FIW from the Florida ANG scooped the aircrew award and also the aircraft maintenance award with the three F-13A teams filling the top three slots.

The load-outs I'm aiming for (no pun intended) are 9x 500lb AN-M64 GP bombs, and 16x HVARs. Should be a lot of fun in game!

Hi all, I'm working on some .ini tweaks and weapon load-outs (from the B-57B Flight Handbook at Avialogs https://www.avialogs.com/aircraft-m/martin/itemlist/category/1198-b-57-canberra ) for my SF2 Vietnam install, but I've had no luck tracking down a SEA Camo Over Gray skin for the B-57B. Does anyone have such a skin that they'd be willing to share? Minor .ini edits I can do, but skinning is beyond me. Geary was working on a project back in 2018, as per this thread: Here are some images from the interwebs: Any info on these awesome aircraft very much appreciated. Kind Regards, KB

Hi, I'm building a dedicated Wild Weasel generations campaign collection spanning from Vietnam through Iraqi Freedom. Only generation I'm missing is Wild Weasel I, the F-100F. Was there ever one made for SF2? Thanks in advance.

well, I got the 2-pack to work. I forgot that it dosne't have a LOD, so it looks a bit funny....I'll try and move the lower rocket up closer to the top OTH, can I interest you, FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST!!!!! (however, YOU must supply your own rockets ...) a 3 pack rack!!! Act now! Supplies are limited!!! unless Ravenclaw's got one floating around someplace ...

just so we're clear on what we're seeing, the hovering Huey is a ground object?! mandatory screenie, or Thunder over Italy

theres also a very limited number of modellers out there still, and they have their own interests that may not align with what others want besides, i've been massively resisting the urge to ask you for a few fake pilots since you've been back

I have that same book, and a bunch of others... needed them for that recent B-57 mod i did. we have a HVAR 2-rack used for the F-84s that should be usable with some tweeking (personally, I pefer LAU-3s) as for the skin, have you looking in USAFMTL (Dave') B57 skin pack??

you guys are doing beautiful work when you share with us but admittedly your also seeming closer to three weeks on release than tomm besides, old, delapidated and/or silly models arent the end of the world. except for the absolute dog crap ones, its good for building up skinning skills. its amazing how a few lines here or there can completely change appearances, and one has to practice on something to learn that skill. refurbishing the old is also good for learning ini work

That is such a tease....

For a naval war my map is not perfect. Only the area between Gulf of Tonking and the island Hainan would be usefull. A possible scenario would be a sea blockade by China against Vietnam. This would be very one sided since Vietnam has no real powerfull Navy. For a China vs US-Navy scenario my old map Formosa Strait could be a good starting point. Formosa Strait is concentraiting on China vs Taiwan. But the map is covering the north of the Philippines too.

To solve the problem reduce the stall speed. I have done it for the Vulcan. In the original VulcanB2_data.ini : StallSpeed=55.88 i reduced it to: StallSpeed=42.88 The AI piloted plane is landing now.

just a quick status report: Taiwan Straits terrain revamp nearly done. I should be able to release it over the weekend North Cape revamp has to be gone over again, as I forgot where I left off with it's rebuild! (oh, dopey me!) ArmourDave's F-105 Thunderchiefs nearly done; just trying to run down some more nose art images The F3D/EF-10 Skyknight has all it's skins, decals and ini work completed, I'm just awaiting to see if I get a new LOD with certain mesh fixes before release. If I don't have it before the end of they year, I"ll release it "as is" calling it a "provisional Beta" after Jan 1 next year. It'll be spllit into the F3D-2 and EF-10 as I've used 2 different cockpits for it's intended use in the Fleet (night fighter - F3D, Escort Jammer - EF-10)

WTR, my family knew a Thud driver a long time ago. We met him at San Diego Air and Space museum when I was a little kid. This was when I first found out about the F-105. The G model has always been my favorite among the generation of Wild Weasels.
