After the release of the first CF-100 package, here is a glimpse of things to come for the Belgium Air Force (WIP)

Off to the gunnery range for rocket practice!

For those of us old enough to remember being glad to see this bird.... Especially when you went "wheels up" after a sh*tty deployment

DCS: I-16 Now Available! The Polikrapov I-16 fighter, developed by 3rd party studio Octopus G, is now available for download! The I-16 was a Soviet, monoplane fighter developed during the 1930s inter-war years. It was innovative for its time with a low-wing cantilever design and retractable landing gear. It was the USSR’s primary fighter at the start of World War 2 where it primarily battled the Bf 109 Emil. In addition to the Second World War, the I-16 was also used in the Spanish Civil War and the second Sino-Japanese War. The I-16 type 24 was powered by an M-63 radial engine that gave it a top speed of 462 kph. The aircraft was armed with four 7.62 ShKAS machine guns. In total, 7,000 single seat versions of this famous fighter were built. The I-16 is a fun and interesting aircraft and further grows our stable of warbirds. This aircraft is particularly interesting when flown in virtual reality. More screenshots DCS World Open Beta Update In this week’s Open Beta update, we added support for precise JDAM coordinate targeting in Pre-Planned mode, by displaying latitude and longitude coordinates down to hundredth of a second on the Mission Editor map and the F10 View map. Degrees/Minutes/Seconds/Decimal values. Cycle through coordinate display option available by press Left Alt + Y. Once you enter Degrees/Minutes/Seconds, press ENT on the UFC to then enter the two-digit decimal value and then press ENT again on the UFC. Please read the complete Open Beta changelog here. Regarding the Hornet, this was a light cycle due to several large and complex features in development during the last couple of weeks. In particular, the Litening II targeting pod, AGM-154 JSOW glide bomb, full simulation of the INS and GPS navigation systems, dynamic launch zones and loft modes for JDAM and JSOW, and other items. Stingers Combat Movie Congratulations to the Stingers on their first combat movie! It’s as campy as a Boy Scouts retreat, but hilarious and very well done. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Just completed the Hawk Battery Command Post. All the system ready for action soon. lol

Rhino's From Down Under ---- and gents, PLEASE, keep it ONLY Phantoms in this thread, ok???

allenphoenix1986, okay, okay, I agree with you ! Friendly fire it is impossimle between russians! Friendly fire possyble ONLY with western pilots. Russian pilots and friendly fire this is completely impossible!!!!!!!! Gepard, even russian write about this incident. But antway you are right! 2 km is a minimum operational range of R-33. Russians fly only closer one to each other. They fly only wing to wing. And for sure, missiles designed to kill bombers, especialy modern, cant hit any other aircraft. Only bombers. Even if it realised it flies to an aircraft, identyfy it, if missile see it is a fighter, it rotetes at 180 degree and fly back and after it the missile gets back to its pylon. Russian network NEVER works wrong cuz this is russians. Gepard, fallenphoenix1986 you both are right! YOU WIN THIS BATTLE! ----------------------------- К сожалению, не обошлось и без применения оружия по своим. В процессе выполнения плановых учебно-боевых стрельб на полигоне Сары-Шаган, при наведении истребителей на различные радиоуправляемые мишени было произведено поражение самолета МиГ-31 с борта другого истребителя того же полка. Версия инцидента, близкая к официальной, гласит, что причиной стало перенацеливание пущенных по мишени ракет Р-33. По версии, далекой от официальной, экипаж доложил о готовности к пуску, но при этом цель опознавалась как имеющая признак «своя» (от РЛ системы госопознавания). По рассказам офицеров, на командном пункте присутствовал высокий чин, давший команду на уничтожение цели. Экипаж повторно доложил, что цель — «своя», и снова получил приказ на уничтожение. Сняв блокировку на пуск ракет по «своим», летчик выполнил пуск (2-х или 3-х) ракет Р-33, первая попала в цель. С технологической точки зрения, мне вторая версия кажется гораздо более правдоподобной. Погиб командир экипажа, штурману отсекло пальцы руки, но он смог катапультироваться. Очевидцы рассказывали, что кресло пилота было буквально иссечено осколками. Единственное обстоятельство, в котором сходятся варианты объяснения причин, состоит в том, что были превышены заявленные характеристики комплекса вооружения МиГ-31, но ошибок наведения или действий экипажа не обнаружено. https://army-news.ru/2018/04/razmyshleniya-o-mig-31-boevoe-primenenie-i-effektivnost/

fallenphoenix1986 I remind you the theme: MiG-31 Foxbat Blasts Wingman Theme is not "any catastrophe over the world with aircraft" And i JUST SAY that this situation COMPLETELY POSSIBLE. And i am sure it happened. And more, i have read about it at RUSSIANs sites. i dont discuss zuny blast at aircarrier, i dont discuss friendly fire at Iraq etc. And as an example, i show a fire of Ka-52. This mean that it is not a something unbelievable in Russia. It happens REGULAR in Russia.

And as we all know no western pilot has ever F'd up at any point in history... there is not a single recorded incident anywhere of a live fire accident involving American, British, French, German forces... oh... wait...

...and se still have the F-5A/C to come!

Sorry, I really wanted to post a F4 screenshot, but crusader's F1EQ was jealous But I could make a F4 screenshot anyway !

Excellent high fidelity package to all involved! I love all the new releases this year .. where else could we possibly have the opportunity to fly all these wonderful cold-war aircraft? Indebted to you all!!!

Outstanding addition to the SF2 family!

Fry-day

Mirage IIIC climbing !

Full ready Tonka squadron for flight !

Oh, perhaps is this a tribute to Dieter Dengler ? CL

The Kaiser's birdmen flying home after a short flight.... Thank you FE2 modders for your hard work...FE2 is a treasure-trove of undiscovered things...perhaps soon we'll have some hot-air ballooning too. Von S

I'm back with some fresh Japanese content. I may admit that the main inspiration to do this were recent Japan vs Russia scenarios presented by @JosefK So, here it is. The plain realistic gray skin with no special markings as it is used in the JASDF Rinji F-35A Hikotai. And a semi-fictional 302 Hikotai skin with a tail art similar to the one used on F-4EJ Kai Phantoms.
