A few days back, i had the chance to travel to Europe, this was a long delayed (for several reasons) trip i had and had also the opportunity to meet some of the CA old timer guys, must say pics speak a thousand words, so, i will spam with some: The first guy i met as i arrived to Amsterdam was my master @logan4 and we made a visit to the Lelystad Museum, my first time watching up close with a MiG-21 Love at first sight! Many More planes seen that day Next day i met another long time friend @Muesli and went to met some places: And the next day, we had a very nice day, we mat @Derk and he kindly made a guided day on the National Militair Museum, 4 CA team members together! Later in the week we met @76.IAP-Blackbird and headed for Germany, no planes this time, but good plans (and stairs) and good times! After some (not much) days, i moved over to Cracow to met the final guy, our very @Stary and we were able to have some good time (eating pierogis) that night Next day, i HAD TO pay a visit to Auschwitz and Birkenau Museums And for the last day, we met again with Stary to go to the Lotnictwa Museum in Cracow, where i was a kid in a candy shop with so many MiGs, Sukhois and others around! All in all, it has been a hell of a trip, and, once again, i would like to thank you guys for making it to happen! And the saddest part of the trip... Thanks CA for the friendship!!!

We (the admins) have been getting some well, complaints, about the lack of information on some of the recent uploads. This is just a reminder to all CA Members that are making mods and uploading them. We always appriciate the contributions, but pleas follow these guidelines!! ==================== Important Information on File Upload Policies and the Minimum Requirements Thereof: At the very minimum, the following is required for an upload here at CombatAce 1) A screenshot of the mod; not a photograph of the Real Life ™ item, but an in-game shot, so people can see what it looks like. For terrains/terrain mods, a shot of your favorite aircraft flying over the terrain, highlighting terrain features is a good one. 2) A quick, simple description, this is what shows in the Announcement Threads below, describing for WHICH 3W Game series; meaning if for ONLY SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI, or Only SF2 Series, OR is usable in both; what the purpose of the mod (is it a "What If..", or a mod of an original aircraft or mod of another mod, etc) Generally, explain the purpose and intent of the Upload. 3) Inside the uploaded zip, a COMPLETE readme with full instructions on How To Install, if other parts are needed and where to get them; etc. There are several dozens of REALLY good, clear conscise readmes around that one can base theirs off of (I should know - I wrote most of them!) Also, list sources and if using someone else's as a base PLEASE make sure you have permission (as in for TMF Products). If the mod is from someone that has signed the Freeware Accords, PLEASE make sure you list their name, and Thank Them for their Original Work. It's the civilized way, doncha know! Thank you all for you kind attention to details; working together we can only create better mods, and a better 3rd Wire Community! Wrench kevin stein

this missile drives me crazy , i have the dimensions for it from the net , length 3,32 meters ( 10.9 feet ) diameter 0,23 meter ( 9.1 inch ) , so i made a cylinder with exact this dimension an made the missile out of it , than i added details and try to make the skin but i discovered that what ever i made it did not work there was always a mismatch with the pictures i have , so i changed the length of that missile to 3,96 meters and i was able to get everything done , but i like to have the missile with the length mention in the net , so scaled the missile just along the x axis until i got the right measurement with the result that some of the circular openings in the missile body are no longer round , but it is just a bit so i let it oval now Red Top missile , it took a long time to do this one but it is done now

just a small update on the new F-4E 3d model , from the beginning i did not like the way the vents on the F-4 look like , Sundowner made some big improvements with new textures but i think it is about time to make them in 3d , thats how they look like now , also new the missile hard points and the splitter plate the aircraft is not yet done , still a lot of work ahead including the new cockpits and some new skins and much more on details

new 450 gallon drop tank for the F-105

More work on the Typhoon.

testing the GBU-8A/B with IR seeker

T-54 T-55 model 1971 and some crappy improvements from the dunes. T-62 T-62 model 1972 of course, regarding all differences between models, I picked the most visible differences to be featured in certain models...

I will post here the progress with these models for now F4U5NL (Argentine Navy) a usnavy serial skin, supercorsair F2G with usnavy serial skin, and the F2G racing variant with the elongated intake.

i did , it was beautiful but the wetter was cold , cloudy and very windy , and i thought it never rains in southern California i need a bit of rest the flight was very long and as usual the seats are to small for me not to speak of the Toilet , i think they made them for dwarfs we had fun at the Midway but this Martin Baker seat was way to small for me , but the Mk7 in the back was right for me teaching my grandson how to fly a helicopter no CH-53 so i checked the CH-46 i have a look with my grandson on the LAU-10 with the Zuni rockets and the Snakeye bombs

Hope this is appropriate ;)

some of the work i did in the past year , just a small update F-104G Twin Store Carriage Rack Orpheus IV recce pod used at the Dutch F-104G , F-16 and Belgium F-16 Orpheus IV used by the Italian Air Force Matra 116 rocket pod Matra-116MA used at the Harrier GR1 , Vautour and Canberra SUU-42A flare dispenser LUU-2B flare for SUU-42A , 2 flares per tube 2.75i nch FFAR launcher used on many aircrafts like F-86 , F-84 and Fiat G-91 triple assembly of 2.75 inch FFAR launcher more to come

Some more @paulopanz goodness! Sorry, couldn;t resist

Gatto Nero.

I present to you the new SU 27 Flanker that I am working on and it will be available for download very soon, this was an old model of maybe 10 years that we had half finished with AleDucat, I had all the main mapping created and it was a waste not to finish the model, and the recent conflict in Ukraine aroused my interest in this plane, today I have almost finished the oldest variant, I only created 2 Soviet skins and one Ukrainian due to lack of time, these planes maneuver within the simulator very well, you can do the cobra and other stunts. soon it will be for download.

Hello All, It is great to see new members contributing to this awesome community. I wish I have the time to work on projects and even play the SF2! This thread is to thank our long time community member, modeler, and a great friend 'Logan4' I have to look up the original modeler for this beautiful F-5E (on the other computer), so far the most accurate (test photos). I did some modifications and worked on the templates. Logan made all the necessary accessories (fake pilot) for the various air forces/navy/marine/private contractor. His F-5E fuel tank is being contributed for the IIRAN Mirage F1... Thanks to Dave, Fates, Erik, MK2 and all the people involved for keeping this webpage alive and available all these years... and many more years to come! Thank you.

On base....... Sooo many new buildings, vehicles etc, I use hardly any stock objects anymore. At least by building my own you can get everything at the correct scale....some of the stock buildings are way off.

JASDF F-4EJ_85 with the EJ cockpit from 1984 / 1985 , some screens displays and panels may be not like the original , i could not find any picture showing the RWR Display with the display on or the layout for it , same go´s for all the digital displays , iw ill change them to the original if i ever will get the requiriert info´s , the Threat warning panel is not working because i can not find any info on how it works and what it may show i still have to make some fine tuning on the ini´s but for now it is working for the F-4EJ cockpit from 1971 / 1972 and for the EJ KAI cockpit i will have even greater problems to get them done , not sure if that will ever happen
