    Dornier Do 22P - 4th Attack Regiment, Parani Army Air Force, 1939 Dornier's Do C3 was a three-seat, single-engined, parasol wing monoplane floatplane that first flew in 1935. With little or no interest from the Luftwaffe, Dornier looked for export customers with small numbers of the floatplane version eventually being sold to Yugoslavia, Greece and Latvia. In March 1938, the Republic of Paran expressed interest in the proposed Do 22L landplane version and Dornier offered a new export version to Paran designated as the Do 22P. Powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Ybrs engine driving a three-bladed propeller the Do 22P could carry up bombs under the fuselage and had a defensive armament of one fixed forward-firing machine gun plus two in the rear cockpit and one in a ventral tunnel. Paran ordered 12 Do 22P's and, with no requirement for a prototype, production at Dornier's factory at Friedrichshafen began in November 1938. Entering service with the 4th Attack Regiment (The Jerboa's) of the Parani Army Air Force in the Spring of 1939 the Do 22P's were docile to fly and easy to maintain. By the end of September 1939 the 4th Attack Regiment were fully equipped and Shah Mushani of Paran was keen to use the Do 22P's against Dhimar. With the outbreak of World War Two Dhimar had seen the RAF leave the region and, with Dhimar's defences down, Shah Mushani wanted revenge for the attacks on Parani settlers in the Kerman Valley. On October 1st, 1939 Shah Mushani launched an attack on the Dhimari oilfields at Al'Haramlek and Najahaf and also an attack on the port of Al'Duhok. The 4th Attack Regiment were tasked with the strike on the two oilfields and dispatched two flights of four Do 22P's achieving total surprise and destroying both objectives. Skin Credit: Charles

    The first tiles for Detroit, Michigan are now on the map. The screenshot shows the view from the canadian side. I think i must create some new city coastal tiles with buildings up to the waterline. The one, which i use, i made with sat pictures of Chicago. But they not really fit for Detroit.

    Hello everyone! Hhere is report on US Air Force Phantom';s optical sights: Here is ae from F-4C / D / E flight manual, starting with F-4C: Thihs is where I realize that F-4C uses the same fixed optical sight (modified A-1 with 60 / 40 / 20 MILs) as F-4B and J (early series). Next, here is information about AN/ASG-22 (LCOSS, which stands for Lead Computing Optical Sight System) used by F-4D: Just like I do with all optical sights, by using math and pixels to craft the optical sight with specific MILs carefully. However, there is one biggest question I had about the LCOSS: Colors of optical sights. By using the comon sense, following the evolutions of the USAF post car optical sights, and finding some of the pictures. When watching the videos on DCS F-4E Phantom II, It led m eto the colusion that the dark red is very likely to be used for nighht mission, making it easy on eye for night operation. And it would make sense to have brighter optical sight durin gthe day. And from the flight manuals, military aircraft commonly have the options to adjust the brightness and possibly the colors of optical sights. Here is what I find: Since SF2 does not allow us to adjust the brightness and colors of the optical sights, so I made three different versions of AN/ASG-22 LCOSS in different colors: Next, here is the information about AN/ASG-26, used by F-4E: Three versions of AN/ASG-26 in different colros are created too: The next steps for me after implementin gthem in to SF2 is to work on the radar texture in1024 x 1024, it will be a great and fun projects!

    Hello everyone! I have been very busy on this very interesting projects which kept me from updating the projects for a while. I have been working on F-4 Phantom II series avionics projects. Spent a lot of times searching for fligh tmanusla nd docunments, and searching for the information on the opticals sighs and radar information. I have a lot of supports from our fellow modders and community! This projects requires a lot of time due to the great complexicity of the Phantom avionics. Therefore, I am focused on one aspect of aavionics a time before doing the next. Right now i am focused on doing optical sights for both US Navy / Marine Corps and US Air Force Phantoms. Here is information about the optical sights used by F-4B / J / N: ately the A-1C is created in 25 and 50 MIls for F_86 series, so I amusing that to implement the fixed A-1 sight for early F-4B and J. Next information about the next optical sights used by later version of F-4B and J, along with F-4N: Here is new sigh recenlty created, direclty based on A-1 optical sight: NOTE: Both A-1 (50 MILs) and modifeid A-1 (with 60 / 40 / 20 MILs) are fixed sight. They are not computing lead gyro sights. Next, I am surprised about how advacned this next optical sgiht used by later version of F-4J, which were used by UK's Phantom FG MK I and GFR MK II, it is known as SOS, which stands for "Served Optical Sight": Please note that the cross and dot symbol is moving computing lead sight and it also act as guide for rocket and bombs for air to ground mode. the 4 lines acta s level / horizontal line while the 70 MIL circle is fixed. SOS is intergrated with AWG-10B FCS / MCS. I have a lot of works to do implementing the SOS sights. Based on the research and studiyng the production list of Phantoms, with an educated guess and what makes snese, it seem tthat F-4J start using SOS around 1970 or so, with AWG-10B FCS / MCS. The next post will cover US Air Force Phantoms. Eagled114thh

    Nice job. Well made plane and skins. What i'm missing is the MBD3 multi rack, which is not included in the download. And i'm not sure whether the unit "156 APIB, 19 AO, PVO, Baku" is correct. The 156th was in the first time a fighter regiment in the Air Defence (PVO), based at Mary in Turmenistan and was later transfered to the Air Force (VVS) as fighter bomber squadron. From 1983 it was based in Afghanistan. So i think you should change PVO to VVS and check, whether Baku is correct.

    Real life has been getting in the way of me wrapping up the Euro Phantoms of the 184th TFG recently, which has been a blessing in disguise as I've been able to do a little more research. Through photos I've been able to determine there were (3) variations in 184th TFG markings on the Euro birds. Top- Color AFOUA inline with subdued 184th TFG patch on intakes with colored Jayhawks tailband. Middle- Colored Jayhawks tailband. Bottom- Subdued markings. I'm working on the nose gear door numbers and tail numbers for these birds.

    I just finish to reread Tom Clancy's "Debt of honor". Was an fantastic scenario around the islands of Saipan and Guam in Pacific Ocean. The islands were captured by the Japanese and the US Navy was going to fight down F-15J's and Mistubishi F-2 with only one carrier group of F-14's and F-18's. Would be a nice terrain. Or what do you think?
