6 pointsAlmost 10 years later... I plan to upload an update to this terrain. I worked on three of the Novalogic Terrains, adding target-areas, making and adapting the tiles to suit these. This was made easier by using Mue's new TOD editor. The three Novalogic terrains being Steppe, Scrub and Island Jungle. ( These are available for download on my website. ) Was thinking of doing the same for the Novalogic's Glacial terrain. But even though that terrain looks nice at times, I find the deposition of snow areas illogical there. That withheld me. Maybe it would be better to put effort in Novalogic's Savannah2? Yesterday I decided to adapt the target-area work to IcelandNA, which has similarities with Glacial. Added some cities, then ported over the harbor, one for blue and one for red. See screenshot of Husavik harbor. Such changes did require the addition of two target-areas, which may change the stock campaign game balance. I am thinking, maybe just branch of into IcalanNA2 or something, and keep the previous IcelandNA package as-is for the campaign. That would allow me to change these stock target-areas more extensively. I always found them a bit crappy anyways. Also considering again, to add some river tiles...

4 pointsHey aviation simulation enthusiasts and professionals! Great news from the Flicontech camp – the development of the throttle is gaining momentum! The engineering stage is currently being completed, and we plan to soon introduce the final product to the market. Here's what you can expect from the new engine control grip: Throttle control knobs that are placed at hand so you don‘t have to remove it while playing. The engine axis and flap that have a damping system for adjustment of the load. The throttle axis with replaceable detents. Throttle valve that has many axes, toggle switches, switches, buttons - everything a professional needs. Stay tuned to follow the development process and don't miss the launch! We're excited to bring this innovation to you and welcome any questions or feedback you may have.

2 pointsProgress update: started on open hangar version first since it’s obviously going to be more complex and detailed. New support struts and scratch texturing based on reference pics, added exterior paneling details including weathering and riveting, strung up the overhead lamps, etc. Any other suggested changes, let me know. Otherwise, I will assume is OK and move into my favorite part of modeling – adding in details for the interior which I always enjoy (always a sucker for the details). Side note: @allenjb42 - that is awesome! Maybe you can give it a try through these hangars soon enough....LOL

The Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition modification does NOT comply with CombatACE's Freeware Licensing. Various contents of this modification are exclusive, as such you are NOT allowed to share, redistribute and/or make use of the mod and/or its contents for other purposes, without the consent of the mod's developers. Contents of the modification are the copyright of their respective authors. Notes about the installer Beware, the mod is available only in the ISO format. You can either mount it on a virtual drive, burn it on a DVD like in the good old days, or unzip it with 7-Zip or equivalent software. The installer will automatically detect your installation of the required Strike Fighters 2 games by reading through the registry keys. Game folders that are copied from or manually moved from where they were originally installed are not supported. You need all three aforementioned Strike Fighters 2 games and they must be installed with ThirdWire's original installers, not manually copied from other sources nor moved elsewhere after installation to other folders or drives. If you do not meet any of these requirements, installation cannot proceed and you are on your own. If you install all required games properly, the installation of the mod will proceed correctly as intended. The installer then lets you choose where to install the mod folder; you can even install the mod on a different drive or partition than the one where Strike Fighters 2 is installed. No further user input nor manual edits after installation are ever required; the installer takes care of creating all proper links to your desired path for the mod folder. After installation is over, simply run the mod by using the created Desktop and/or Start Menu links. If you have a previous version of the mod installed, please use the uninstaller to remove it completely. Clean installation is mandatory. You might want to make a backup of the Controls folder, so that you can easily restore your controller settings afterwards. Suggestions on common issues Make sure that you are using your dedicated GPU. By default, Strike Fighters 2 usually selects the integrated GPU you may have on your CPU, which is much weaker in terms of VRAM. In case you have frequent crashes or black/missing textures, I highly suggest you download and install the DXVK graphics wrapper (x86 DLLs) into your Strike Fighters 2 game folder: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk. You need a Vulkan-compatible GPU. The wrapper can greatly improve the experience with the mod. With DXVK I can play the mod on a mere Intel UHD 710, whereas without it the mod would always crash to desktop. Go to Sound and set Sound Channels to 32. We got reports that 16 is not enough and will cause crashes on some systems, due to the higher quality sounds included within the mod. The mod is pretty heavy for the game engine despite huge optimizations. Strike Fighters 2's engine is 32bit only and apparently does not manage VRAM properly; consecutive campaign missions might show black/missing textures on objects or cause crashes to desktop because the game does not release the occupied VRAM from the previous mission you played, thus the more missions are loaded consecutively, the more easily you may run out of memory. Set Ground Objects to Medium or Low, Horizon Distance to Near, and Shadows to Medium or Low. These are the most troubling settings. Avoid Unlimited settings as much as possible. If the mod used to work and suddenly crashes to desktop, updating or reinstalling video drivers should help. Make sure that DirectX June 2010 Redistributables are also installed, they are included inside the ISO disk image of the mod. Inside the mod folder, you'll find some extra text files. "(Coalition Order of Battle)" should be of your interest; the mod's terrain covers the entirety of Iraq, at the cost of not having all of Saudi Arabia; this means that a number of important units are based on airbases that are beyond the in-game playable area. With those units you always spawn near the target area, you'll never get to start from a runway nor to land on the assigned runway beyond the invisible wall. You have an entire list of the affected units in the aforementioned text file. By pressing ALT+N, the plane returns to base automatically. The mod is fully compatible with the Campaign Customizer and Mission Editor DLCs by ThirdWire. The Campaign Customizer might be an alternative way to experience those off map units I mentioned previously, since it assigns you to a random airbase of the in-game flyable area. Escort missions are often broken, this is not an issue of the mod, but a bug of the stock game; sometimes the AI flight you escort does not engage its target and keeps flying in a straight line instead of following waypoints, thus the trigger for mission success will never happen. Abandon the mission or retry it if the issue happens, sometimes it works. Pray for ThirdWire AKA Tsuyoshi Kawahito to work on a 64bit version of Strike Fighters 2, maybe even with support for DirectX 12. With that done, any out of memory issues should become an old memory. -
1 pointHi, GKABS, hope you will be able to implement the different configurations of the Aero 1D 300-gal drop tank. Aero 1D single fin (to be loaded under the wings of the A-6A/B/C): Aero 1D with 2 fins (to be loaded on the centerline station under the fuselage during the early years of A-6 operations): Aero 1D with NO fins (to be loaded on the centerline station under the fuselage during the later years of A-6 operations): The models are not mine, but by one of the well-known, kind and generous modders here at CA and I am showing these only to illustrate my point.

1 pointI know that the Charlie versions in Superpack have a different canopy design, that's why I asked, these ones seemed to have the original TW design canopy. Thanks for the answer, I will check the Alpha Superpacks Update: Well, its like I thought, the Superpacks have another .LOD, check the canopy line and reflections: Its not the same model. Update 2: I looked carefully at the the files in the F-15A version of Superpack, who uses the original TW LOD´s with a updated DATA.ini and found the Vortex positions added. This is what I looking for, thanks for the tip!!!

1 pointthis, more than your first one, is what im talking about. Interflug places it squarely in the old days minus context, the Il-76 could be 1994, it could be impounded somewhere last week
-
1 pointpretty sure they are the F-15A_85s from the Super Pack
-
1 pointAnd this picture shows a civil hangar in Berlin Schönefeld: It was big enough for 3 or 4 IL-62 airliners.
-
1 pointQuestion: this are the original F-15A lods? Can you share the data with me so I can apply this vortex on mines too?

1 pointThe F-4 is a pain in the ass to trap. I learned by dropping flaps and watching my speed. I do it by eye since I zoom in for landings (just so I can watch the deck and stuff). it sinks pretty bad but once you figure out how to land it, it's not hard to trap. I stick with the Super Hornet (modern era flyer here), so it's not that difficult to land, once you figure everything out it's fairly easy, given the modern era flight controls and how the plane is setup and so on. But the F-4 is just about maintaining speed so you don't sink too much really. Other than that it's somewhat easy to fly. I don't like flying the F-4 because it's a flying brick, and the Super Hornet, depending on its version, isn't that much fast on most throttle settings, but it has it's charms and I stick with that. I've never done a Skyhawk so I can't offer any tips with that, you'll have to ask some other people about the Skyhawk, but the A-6 is a nice plane, I give it two thumbs up on how it flies and so on, always liked flying it though.

1 pointstands to reason for deep maintenance on tactical jets did you guys have anything along these lines for the really big birds though? these are the kind of things i dont ever recall seeing pics of. Il-76s, An-12s, all the Tu's.... always seen sitting outside not saying they didnt exist, just that any pics shared of WARPAC cargo hangars would be the first i've seen (and possibly many others of us)
-
1 pointLarge Hangars are not unique for the west. The east had it too. Here soviet aircrafts in a big hangar.
-
1 pointSo, with a hard and combined effort, we could improve this sim, can we not? Something to comes to my mind is: Will the bunch of updated objects (Planes, Weapons, Terrains, etc..) affect the performance of the game in, say, fairly strong computers? Mean, when we get them all in game...

1 pointI guess I didn't read the last update for the Belgian expansion in regards to the Camel very well: "Improvements and tweaks to various aircraft models such as the Sopwith Camel, Nieuport 10, 11, 16, 17, 23, RAF BE2c, RE8, Caudron G.IV, SPAD VII, SPAD XIII, Sopwith Strutter A2, Breguet 14. The revamp includes 3D model updates, some of which are quite significant, such as the Camel External and Virtual Cockpit models." Sorry, my bad and thank you in advance.

1 pointOne thing I wish this sim had but its probably not possible due to the old code limitations is that "physics" feeling of flight" and less of the sliding feel which I think was leftover from the MSCFS coding . I also always find myself having to constantly apply a lot of rudder input just to stay on target and hit planes because of how the flight model works. This game beats every other WW1 out there, even current tech ones in terms of the campaign. Length of war, realism, amount of flyables and just about everything. But it could really use a flight model upgrade. That said, it does not stop me from liking the sim an playing it.
