IRIAF over Kharg island

Hardcore .

where's the FlANG Duece skin come from?? I was looking for it (or was going to do it)!! ---required screenshot-- Zipper in Southeast Asia

A brand new Mirage F1 will be available soon. It comes from North Africa and this one is not very friendly.

Just added the final details, at this time I think the model is completed, I just need to send it to a friend to have a final look at it just to be satisfied then it will go to the download section.

@Wrench it's in the Operation Tainted Cigar mod. Not sure who originally made this skin. --- Required screenshot: Two F-105Bs* on approach to Patrick AFB. *dtmdragon's stand in F-105B is well suited for OTC.

An earlier Vietnamization...

MiG encounters were relatively rare. The Vietnamese didn't have many and on most days used them very sparingly. The Navy mainly faced MiG-17s which had no IRMs. SA-2s were fired on a daily basis. The Navy needed chaff far more than they needed flares. So, you shouldn't be looking for what the aircraft was capable of carrying, but instead looking for documentation of what they actually carried. For example, the F-4 could in theory carry 4 x AIM-9 and 4 x AIM-7. But the USAF and USN used different loadouts based on their own experience and judgement. The USAF had crappy AIM-9s and favored carrying AIM-7s, but the USAF also liked to put an ecm pod in one of the forward AIM-7 wells. The USAF also liked to carry the AIM-4D instead of the AIM-9. So even on May 10, 1972, during the biggest day of air-to-air combat during the entire war, Major Lodge's Oyster flight of F-4Ds was carrying 1 x AIM-4D on each wing pylon, either 2 or 3 AIM-7 + ECM pod. The USN had great AIM-9s and almost always carried 4xAIM-9. But since the F-4 couldn't fire the forward AIM-7s without dropping the centerline tank and the Navy had horrible results with the AIM-7, they usually only carried 2xAIM-7 in the rear wells. Unlike the USAF, Navy F-4s could carry 2xAIM-9 and bombs under each wing plyon, so it was quite common for USN CAP/Escort F-4s to carry some bombs as well as missiles to provide some SEAD for the attack aircraft. Whereas in the game, carrying 4xAIM-9 and 4xAIM-7 is typical and generally the most effective loadout.

First test helicopter taking off from the F-40. Big thank you to @Wilches for helping setting up the data for the landing deck.

We have Formorsa straits map, and altough Hong Kong is far south maybe we can place a Fake Kai Tak airport on a fake Hong Kong city, so we can land this birds...

And finally, Z is for Zwilling, the Heinkel He-111Z. I love the variety of this sim!

FANG Deuces over the Keys. Got a little too close to Cuba, had to evade an SA-2. "I'll show you for firing a missile at me you SOB!"

Historically, USAF AIM-9Es and AIM-9Js performed the same or worse than AIM-9Bs, while the USN very hastily deployed AIM-9Ds with excellent results (around 40-60%) and the AIM-9G and AIM-9H had results comparable to the AIM-9L (around 80%). Late AIM-9Js as deployed on F-15s supposedly solved the early AIM-9J problems, but the AIM-9L, derived from the AIM-9G/H series was far superior, so the USAF finally gave up and switched to the USN derived variants that were comparable in range and speed, more maneuverable, all-aspect, and more reliable. The AIM-4D had dismal performance in Vietnam, worse than the AIM-9B. But the USAF really insisted on using them rather than the USN developed AIM-9. Politics and pride don't mix well with making good decisions that effect combat effectiveness.

It´s named "radiator_flap", but the sad news - the animation=9 only move it halfway.

Claudio, I thought you said you were retiring? You should have plenty of time!!!! F-86L remod: F-86D remod

Gents, the UH-12 Esquilo is pending for a permission to be released (FSX model), so you have to wait a little longer. Sorry but that´s the rules.

Yep, its a nice mixture between MiG-21 wings and Mirage III fuselage. I would like to have it. Perhaps someone of the modders could make it new.

Y is for Yak, the Yak-9U:

chill dude, its outgoing mandatory screenie, a rare shot of the infamous Yankee Air Pirate, Col U. Nam. Ehere

I will be joining your club on November 29th this year, 30 years of service is more than enough.

Interesting... a kitbash of the 9e and 14, meant as a late production 9e ? Sorcerer ! Burn him !

Mirage 2000EAD circa 1990

you all know that I have the MAX files for the TMF/MM Mk9, right? All it would take is some will MaxGuru to cut down the fuselage, make the bubble canopy and (probably) some remapping, and we'd have one

I don't know about turn performance, but the afterburner makes a noticeable difference in max climb rate: F-86D: 12,150 ft/min F-86F-40: 9,000 ft/min (46 m/s) at sea level That difference in rate of climb is a direct measure of specific excess power, which should mean much better acceleration. The higher wing loading should decrease overall agility/max turn rate, but the extra power might actually provide comparable if not superior sustained turn rate, as SEP is much higher despite the weight gain.

I've just been informed of a small issue with the LOD. I'm attaching a fix that Veltro kindly supplied. Just unzip, and drop into the TF-102s main folder and allow the overwrite. I'll be updating the package ASAP as well We apologize for the inconvience LODFIX.rar

i wasn't fooled .. just READ the viewer's window panes ... you could see it was all stock 3w 9e good one though, amarini

Amazing work! Love the flying deck!!

X is difficult, but here is one, the XP-59 Airacomet:

Had a wake up call on my takeoff roll when the Nike batteries starting launching missiles!

Working decals. From F-40 to F-45 as for real.

Just sent the whole pack - Frigate with heli working to GKABS.

Ok I get it - you know alot about air combat - so do the lot of us. There is alot that WWI combat has in common with WWII combat yet it is still distinct from WWII, and is very different from jet age combat. There are of course some commonalities but ignoring the differences will get you shot down real quick. Someone should start a thread on Dicta Boelcke - Nr 4 and 7 are relevant for me. LOL, Nr 2 actually supports my contention to concentrate on shooting down the target in front of you!! No no you misunderstand again, I check six until I've committed to attacking the target in front of me. Then it's time to concentrate on shooting it down. Even then I will break off in the face of a determined rear attack. And guess what - that's also how fliers did it in WWI and WWII. Nothing unorthodox here. Well my opinion is that in most cases, the AI fights in the vertical plane better than the average WWI pilot did. For one thing, their wings don't fall off as they maneuver while diving, which is a great advantage. And unfair. Some AI even energy fight better than WWI aces did, making judicious use of the vertical plane to pounce and then climb out of reach. Heck, even though your Boelcke's Dicta doesn't mention using a height advantage, the AI sure doesn't overlook it. Energy fighting wasn't a formalized thing in WWI, so its extensive use can be considered an exploit on the AI's part. Strange if you think those were blind loops in my two videos - they weren't. And never claimed that the loop was a cure-all for every sim out there. Btw, I haven't flown MP Rise of Flight or Flying Circus though I can imagine that playing MP has its own problems when it comes to truly simulating WWI aerial combat. I used to fly MP IL2-Sturmovik back in the day and there was a world of difference between playing MP and SP. Anyway, the problem here is that while flying on MP servers is different from SP WOFF, it is not any more realistic. Just different. Like I said, the AI actually fights very well vertically. But yeah, it's not perfect. No loops but plenty of AI zoom climbs. Surely zoom climbs are a legit tactic for both AI and MP humans alike, but like the loop the timing, distance, and energy state has to be right or you end up a sitting duck. So do you avoid zoom climbs online as well ? OK I get it, you realize that you want to play WOFF the same way as you would in a MP combat sim. Great, that's fine. Makes sense, too. Well, seeing as how you selectively read Boelcke's Dicta I shouldn't be surprised that you do the same with my remarks on checking one's six. Have a good one.

Yes, the photo is of SF, from a few years ago ... it happens fleetingly like many things you see here XD I have the decals for you by the way ... I send mp

He better should have written "Lightning" instead to try a word by word translation of the german nickname of this bird. It was called "Gabelschwanzteufel" by the Luftwaffe pilots. O is for Osprey

Downloaded and installed just fine! This mod is incredible! Thanks to everyone involved, whether it was a small contribution or a large one, I thank you all. Didn't last ;long on my first mission, ground support can be difficult when the targets are so small,(talking about ground troops) even against the sand back ground, they can be difficult to see. Not complaining either, hell of a lot of fun and a great challenge!

some images like this being already completed this plane (remember it was a project in Argentina (FMA) German (DORNIER) of the late 80-90 . This is the B version, too, think of zero, the series A, single-pilot. the 2 models are shipped, and have apontage hooks and strengthened undercarriage sorry for my English

guruu, that interior brings one thing to mind: "Next time Jack, write a gawdamn memo"

It was possible, it required very specific editing and was super finicky to get to work, but it could be done in the long, long ago times. Around a decade ago (maybe longer), from what I can remember, it was possible to set a positive fuel state with a specific throttle setting by editing the fuel consumption setting for the engines in an aircraft's ini file. There are others more adept than myself who could explain how it worked, but it's a moot point because TK patched it out around 2011/12ish, possibly earlier. I can't remember if it was something that was carried over to the SF2 series, but I know for it was possible in the first generation series because there were some Yankee Air Pirates missions that included it... ...I think. I mean, it was a long-ass time ago and I can barely remember sh*t I did yesterday. Either way, if IFR is something you're looking for, you'll have to look somewhere other than the SF series.
