Salty Bees '86

This photo set was inspired by DaddyAirplanes...... "View from the Break" Looks cool, but when I came around, I Missed EVERY Wire, forgot to throttle up, skidded off the side, and went into the water right next to the carrier while laughing........

Blueprints of the Convair 201 were stolen by east german intelligence service HVA. The plane was reengeneered by aircraft factory Flugzeugwerft Dresden. From 1985 ist was built as FWD-85 Bussard.

yeah! that's got it!!! stangely, i had to lower the mounting position, as it was sitting half-way through the wing. Even this location might be a tidge too low, but.... hey! It's working now! Many thanks!! Now, just a few more tweeks, and it'll be ready for it's (re)release next Friday! Thanks again!!

update

Sometimes i return to base with a little damage

don't forget, you can have date and nation specific loadouts!!! Say, RCAF Sabres have Sidewinders, but GAF don't in the same year spread.

mish mash i was kit'n a bash...... the credits on this one will be long and distguinshed. im just piecin the parts together, and slappin on some paint and stickers that aint been seen before and ignore the green tanks. havent adjusted them yet, that stylized nose took up most of the time today......

Thank you ravenclaw looks brilliant, I now have enoigh bombs to finish the mission

View File SF2 TMF K'fir C2 & C7 (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack SF2 TMF K'fir C2 & C7 (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/15/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI K'firs as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force. Included in this package are 2 full aircraft, with several skins: Kfir C2: 101 Squadron 109 Squadron 149 Squadron (all in 2-tone greys) Kfir C7: 144 Squadron (3-tone camo) They are set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Kfir available as stock within the game or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. National markings are painted on, and my (Patent Pending) fake insignia and SqTail decals are active, allowing the squadron's name & Nation Name to be displayed on the Loadout screen. Serial number Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already!!! If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Kfir C2 (TMF) and Kfir C7 (TMF) So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein For Oli and The Mirage Factory Submitter Wrench Submitted 04/19/2024 Category Israeli Origin  

Sundance: "Used enough dynamite there, Butch??"

while you are right that JG74 is using catamaran launcher (only user within the Luftwaffe) you are wrong with bombs as JG74 (and JG71) were sole users of all weather interceptor - AWX variant of zipper - which in fact was not able to carry bombs.

Here they are. I just deleted the specific station code entry. RPK10.zip

here you go TSC_F-104G.7z

My HH-3E in natural metal finish

ok here are the AIM-7A , AIM-7B and AIM-7R missiles , the AAM-N-2 / AIM-7A is set up as beam rider and therefore very difficult to hit something with it good luck and have fun with it AIM-7A_B.7z AIM-7R.7z

Hi All, Have been doing a bit of tinkering lately with my FlightGear install (see this thread for more info.) - and results are pleasing enough in what is a free, open-source flight sim. Managed eventually to get accurate photo-scenery working in FG, which is a noticeable improvement over the stock (dated) scenery that has been available in that sim for years on end (see pic. below for photo-scenery at work in FG, in this case in the Mesopotamian/s. Iraqi area; the Alb. D.I is a re-skin and FM-overhaul of a model done by Lester Boffo). On a hunch, I then converted a bunch of the photo-tiles from FG (stock format is DDS) to BMP format - so that they become visible in the FE2 terrains folder - and it does indeed work - but would require careful, aesthetic choices regarding what tiles to replace in the terrains folder, such as farms, cities, deserts, etc. - for best cohesion and not too many jarring disconnects between tiles. Nice to see that stock trees and buildings are populating over the satellite/ortho-terrains too, in FE2. Photo-scenery is simply an improved "satellite" carpet that covers the stock scenery and terrain framework in FlightGear - and by extension works the same way in the ThirdWire sims but requires manual conversion to BMP format and manual placement in the terrains folder (perhaps the DDS format would work too, but I didn't bother tinkering with the various settings/text files this time around in the terrains folder). The other good thing about FlightGear is that it is fully under the GNU GPL (General Public License; i.e., "copy-left" license) - so there are no copyright problems that I know of if one borrows such ortho-scenery for FE2 too (haven't bothered to test with SF2). And if working on such a terrain swap as a personal project - that is of course even simpler. A few representative pics. below with just a few ortho-scenery tiles placed over Stephen1918's upgrade of the Mesopotamian theater for FE2. Results look pretty good, particularly when flying higher up, and I haven't noticed any FPS drop with the photo-scenery tiles loaded. Some old tiles are still in place in the pics., for comparative purposes. Any empty areas are where I didn't bother to load tiles. Anyway - I hope you find this post interesting - it's perhaps the "cheapest" way of upgrading tiles across the various theaters available for FE2. If I find enough free time I might tinker further with this side-project; will post comments if the results prove particularly successful. Cheers & good flying,

A long time for a short combat
