The new Super Hornet E aircraft (teamwork) comes equipped with a variety of upgraded features.

.. and a Block 52+ Battle hardened ..

here are the AGM-54 , the original 3D model is from Sophocles i reworked the 3D part added new wings and a lot of details as well as new skins includet are AGM-154A = 1999 , USAF , NATO AGM-154_USN = 1999 ,US NAVY , US Marine Corps AGM-154B = 2001 , US NAVY , US Marine Corps AGM-154C = 2006 , US NAVY , US Marine Corps AGM-154C1 = 2016 , US NAVY , US Marine Corps AGM-154 Pack.7z the AGM-154A-1 is not includet because i dont know if this weapon has the IR-Seeker or not , all i know is that it is based on the AGM-154C Block II , as soon as i get more info i will release the AGM-154A-1 , my personal view is that it looks like the C but no IR-Seeker from top AGM-154A/B , AGM-154C , AGM-154C1 for all F-8 pilots here are the LAU-33 and LAU-35 , the LAU-33 is for all fuselage station except the lower left one and the LAU-35 is only for the lower left fuselage station , i made the needed changes on my F-8 data.ini LAU-33 Pack.7z LAU-35 Pack.7z here you will find the rockets for this pods if you dont have them already https://combatace.com/files/file/18170-weapons-pack-3-rockets-rocket-pods/ LAU-33 LAU-35

This model, which was commissioned by someone a while ago, I will soon share with everyone on Combatace.

There's some News today!

Soviet style airfield marking lights for war times: It were red lamps on trucks which stand in front and behind of the runway. And so the vehicle looked in reality: And so it looks in game: The model of the truck was made by Yakarow.

What a coincidence I was also taking pictures but I was in North Korea, well almost ended up in the outer space.

"shadow puppets"...

just something else fiddling with -- needs LOTS of corrections!!

Hello everyone, Last week, I received my PET scan report after sending it to my doctor in the UK for review. He mentioned that the results look positive compared to my condition before starting treatment, but there is still some FDG uptake in the lymph nodes. He suggested that this might be due to inflammation as my body continues to heal. The good news is that the FDG uptake is not as high as it was prior to treatment, which I hope is a promising sign. I’ll need to wait six months before getting another scan. Overall, I’m feeling happy and I'm working on getting my life back on track, no matter what the results may be. PS.FDG is a glucose analog that tends to accumulate in the tissue with high glucose demand, like tumors and inflammatory cells

cmon now you know that 75% of us would prefer to have more options/variety the rest are the ones too busy crying "free, free, free" to notice theres a difference (TW Discord. 2025, colorized)

We continue updating, improving and creating new skins for the AH-64 Apache

Flight testing on the Tracker is on hold for bit, as I discovered that the USN skin(s) have compelty wrong serial decals*. So, back to the paint shop for now. As is my habit, there'll be 1 Pacific fleet (actually, there's 2, one a new one by me), one Atlantic Fleet squadron. It came with a skin for VT-28 (training unit), and I think it needs new modex and BuNums as well. Will resume flight testing with carrier quals (to make sure it gets back on the boat) as soon as the paint dries. below is the new skin for VS-21. All BuNums matched to Modex * the Argentine, Venezuelan, Brazilian are all correct

I'll just leave this here for now ... (serials are placeholders)

Now it hurts a little bit.

My old paints still rock... .

Runway Strike All the AAA & SAMS are on the other side of this coastline, so I'm looking for a slot to slide thru... Found it.......

well, it is just a couple of weeks until Christmas mando screenie, also a couple weeks away

Photo Recon in the Bering Straits.... That's a lot of cold down there..... Feet dry, turning for the run in.... There were Mig-23's launching for an intercept. My wingman killed the first two, I nailed 1 with a head on shot, and the last one caught a missile on takeoff as we crossed the target, got the photos, and beat feet.

Absolutely beautiful!! It would look great with this ..

Quick question to players. Situation: In 1973-74, the Orpheus pod was introduced to KLu. All old RF airframes were modified to carry this pod. We all know Ravenclaw's work. At this point, RF were not yet equipped with any characteristic antennas on the nose (high band and low/mid band) and a high-band antenna on the rear fuselage. Somewhere in 1976-77 ECMs were added to the fighter-bomber zippers and to reconnaissance airframes as well. And this is the time when antennas were present. and one characteristic intake for cooling new electronic equipment I can make ECM antennas pop up in a specific year (weaponstation mode) and add ecm in aircraft data.ini. Then antennas will be present according to the year, but ECM will be embedded in the aircraft anyway. Done for many years on other aircraft and on all aircraft in ODS30AE. ECM is working, visually everything is correct, and we are happy with it considering game engine limitations. This is more or less clear, and that was the plan. But going this way, the intake should not be present on early aircraft. So the question is: Do you want another variant? Example RF-104G(O) '78 with ecms and early variant RF-104G(O) '73 ? Or you can live with that intake on early birds. Personally, I would make two birds (how I will have in my mod folder anyway) but I am considering your opinion (thing I am not doing usually) before uploading. I can also make two variants anyway and those who want two will have two and those saving space can do some modding on your own and have one "inpure" mod. I am not going to mention that there were small differences between old refubrished RF and new converted from ex-AWX airframes (when 322 and 323 squadrons retired airframes) - this I simplified and it is solved. Of course, the process of refurbishing to RF(O) and ECM took some time (not overnight), but in mod this is simplified for - 1973 for Orpheus and 1977 for ECMs. And this situation will also occur with the fighter-bomber variant also. Just intake is in a different position. So there I will have the same problem to solve. So whatever will be done with RF will be done with the fighter-bomber variant too. Here is an example: D-8138 in 1975 And a few years later, with antennas and intake. D-8138 was the last one to receive IFF/SIF and ALQ-126 mod in January 1978. Or you simply do not care about such small details. Downloading for free is more important for some users than "what and why" modders are really doing. Should not been that way on the sim forum where downloads are based on modders' work, but hell ..You know nothing, Jon Snow...

If you talk of the Iraqi pilot, reincarnation will come VERY soon !

Work on Michigan terrain is going on. I placed parked aircraft at several airfields. As you see, the third Boeing must be relocated. On this screenshot you can see larger TOD buildings, which are shopping centers or factories.

Just a note about this thread, you have to post a screenshot, it's pretty mandatory when replying to somebody (that's so we don't delete your posts and such). Just a fair warning since you're new. Mandatory screenie

Loving the TRS2.

Good Morning Vietnam!!!

I just posted a 20 minute video on my channel at https://www.youtube.com/@philipsabin1653, which showcases the SF2 and FE2 tweaks I discussed in https://combatace.com/forums/topic/100072-following-your-leader-through-the-low-european-clouds/, as well as illustrating the parallel graphical advances which I have made recently in my various manual air combat designs. The picture below is from a P-26 sortie I set up over New Guinea to show how much fun I am having with my tweaks.

Take off on pairs
