    Gepard: yes, Zil-157 with an SA-2 on the trailer. IIRC, Kesselbrut built them. I don't know if they're in the SF2 downloads, but should be in SF/Wo* downloads. Look for Zil Truck Pack or something like that. --------------------- Required screenie: 1958: VA-12 gets it's first Skyhawks

    Let me Google that for you... Ah here it is... The host plane is a Chinese evolution of the An-12, the Shaanxi Y-8. The Chinese have an AWACS variant themselves, the Shaanxi KJ-200, using the same radar as the Swedish Saab Argus and Erieye. This one is a Shaanxi ZDK-03, a KJ-200 variant built for Pakistan with an AESA radar of Chinese origin, supposedly with better performances than the Erieye also operated by Pakistan.

    I had a Iraqi 4-ship MiG-21bis escort msn a while ago, escorting a 3-ship Tu-22B's. Short-distance msn so flown mostly real-time. Nice join-up with the bombers .. I kept my flight behind and above them. Our whole package ran into a 2-ship F-14 patrol which wasted no time shooting AIM-54 and downed two of the bombers, and perhaps one of my MiGs. We merged and had a dogfight with the F-14 but none of my missile shots (Atolls and Aphids) connected. Wingmen didnt score either, eventually me or one of the others got one F-14 with guns .. cant remember (was Sept '17). Result: my flight disengaged with one lost and perhaps one more to AD on the flight back, one bomber survived. fun fun

    Hi Vons this sim do's provide us with a lot of fun I think I get more fun modding than flying, with regarding flying you look like you will be sighted in a divorce case my wife says I need to come to bed and stop flying but your flight settings and files have transformed this sim for me in a way it is so much challenging I tried the Fokker E1 wow now if one brings down a enemy it is more luck than good flying but I do like it thanks again for all you do for this sim you make a old man happy.

    Found more info about aircraft guns and synchronizers. Rate of fire for the ground version of the Vickers gun was 450-550 rounds per minute (rpm). Minor adjustments to rpm could be made by tightening or loosening the fusee spring. Early British synchronizers (particularly the Ross gear) slowed the rpm to 350-400 rpm, and the situation was not improved until mid-1917 with the introduction of the Constantinesco gear. By war's end, Britain had manufactured 71,355 Vickers guns (both ground and air) while Colt had built 4,000 Vickers guns for aircraft use. Britain delivered 10,544 Vickers aircraft guns to France by December 1918. Birmingham Small Arms (UK) and Savage Arms Company (US) shipped at least 6,842 Lewis guns to France. Meanwhile, domestic French production ramped up during the war: Regis Darne delivering 3,266 Lewis guns and Milde delivering 1,100 Lewis guns. France used at least four different variants of the basic Lewis design, all differences being minor detail changes. Throughout the entire war, it proved difficult to balance gun production with airframe production. This probably accounts for the confusing variation in gun/synchronizer installations. For example, the Windsock data file for the Breguet 14 clearly shows delivered aircraft mounting overwing Lewis guns, instead of the standard Vickers gun. There simply were not enough aircraft Vickers guns to meet the demand, a situation that worsened in 1917 with the Allied introduction of two-gun fighters.

    Thanks fellas for the comments great stuff Wrench. I thought maybe the DF loop would give it a distinct look from all the other Goony Birds and this one is for sure The USMC VMJ/VMR-152. Also thanks to you guy's I got Bunums for the Squadron and will now work on them.

    The number of available trees per tile depends also from a entry in the terrain_data.ini. AlphaObjectVertexCount=8192 AlphaObjectIndexCount=12288 As higher the values, as more trees can be "planted"

    Hello again gents', Have now tested this interesting issue further (of the complexities of FE2 directory structure ) and can confirm on my rig at least that it makes no difference if the fast/slow prop files are placed in the general aircraft folder, or in the skins folder of the aircraft folder - tried the experiment with the Halb. D.V and the Nieuport 16 Lewis - and got the same results. Removing the fast/slow prop images completely from the aircraft or skin folder (to the desktop for example) removes the spinning prop completely. The stationary prop is still there, but once it spins up it disappears. Hope some of the info. helps out those struggling with file location in FE2. Von S

    Aces, don't waste your time -- you're using & showing SF2 parameters. None of that works in SF1 Naval ships pretty much exist only as a joke in 1stGens.

    in order going up this thread: what if project, what if project, would be nice but the Brits would have done it on the cheap so pylon mounted missiles it would have been, and I'd like one too but i dont know if ed will be working on anything anytime soon (i recall veltro posting a pic of one a long time ago, very wip) perhaps a missile or two semirecessed into a fairing sort of like Tomcat/Phoenix. but you gotta figure that a Bombcorde would be primarily to offset orders lost when BA and Air France were the only ones to buy. Plus it would be a hell of a replacement for the Mirage IV....

    North Africa Terrain Upgrade For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 MTO mods This started out as a simple targets upgrade, and turned into a major rework of Edward's "North Africa" or Western Desert Terrain for WW2. As you can expect, the targets have been greatly 'enhanced', with some additions, some areas have been retiled for ease of targetization. The visuals (ie: the eye candy) has been enhanced by these revamped target areas. This will allow single mission and campain builders more latitude in their creation of missions and campaigns. It also has the side effect of enhancing in-game generated single mission play, too! This is a COMPLETE terrain, designed to REPLACE the original verison in it's entirety. All necessary parts are included; tiles, inis, LOTS of new terrain items, with the excpetion for some 'permission-only' GroundObject items. 2 re-done planning maps (1 & 2) are also included. Also, there are at LEAST 3 Easter Eggs on the map. There ARE some historical flaws (and probably physical geographic ones as well!!), which as most of you know gauls the daylights out of me; they are fully detailed in the "Notes & Explinations" section below. The data ini has been upgraded to the semi-latest standards (ie: 2006 patch level). Water effects are active, so Vista users beware...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users". NOTE: this is NOT designed for the post-08 patch or SF2 "NextGen" series. The terrain's data ini does NOT have the new Height Data included!!! (however, that is easily added if you're familiar with the varous terrain data inis, and how to 'update' them). = MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WW2 WEAPONS PAK !! = = MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER = = MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER = = MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GEO'S WW2 GROUND OBJECTS PAKS!! MOST IMPORTANT!!! = It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to in the main ini. As most of the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. (see the CombatAce Knowledge Base for the tutorial on using the cat pointer line). It has NOT, however, been tested in post 08 SF/WoV/WoE/WoI or any of the SF2 'NextGen' series; it is NOT designed for useage in those type of game installs. If you choose to do so, expect NO support from me -- you're on your own. Although, it should work pretty well, in any case. Some data ini adjustments will probably be required for the additional effects. As always, it's reccomended you unzip this to a temp folder somewhere's thats easy to find. This will give you access to the rest of the readme for full, detailed install instructions and the Usual Notes and Other Ramblings... Follow these instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems. It's HIGHLY reccomended you read this document completly through before installing this mod. Happy Landings!!

    WW2 North Africe Terrain by me. Tiles by Polak modified by Charles. Ground Objects by Kesselbrut and Polak. Static aircraft by the A-Team. Special thanks to Capun, Charles and Gramps for all their help and support. To install just drop into your Terrain folder in your Strike Fighters Folder. To delete just remove the file. Known Issues: Greece has too much desert. Don't fly over it. Nothing in life is perfect. This terrain is 60% scale. I will eventually get around to doing a full scale version. Edward
