I also buy extra copies to help out...as you said there are so few flight sims any more being produced. Remember, the art patrons of the 1700s-1800s which allowed timeless works of art to be produced.

Thank You! Fantastic. I've been waiting a long time for this one. I didn't realize how huge the F-101 was until I saw it in a picture next to an F-4.

"Since this is my first campaign any feedback is more then welcome." Berlin crisis is a great idea! But the information given so far does not make me want to download it. Most modders include in the download description what the plot (story) is and when it is taking place...is it in the 1970's-1980s or 1990s. Please just edit your description and provide the plot and the time it is occuring. Thanks for your hard work.

File Name: Mig-17F Cockpit File Submitter: ordway File Submitted: 15 Apr 2008 File Updated: 15 Apr 2008 File Category: Jet Cockpits A Cockpit mod of the Thirdwire Scooter's cockpit, to create the North Vietnam-modified Mig-17F cockpit for use in the standard Thirdwire Mig-17F. The Mig-17F was the standard version used in Vietnam and Middle East combat. Referenced from multiple color photos, cockpit layout diagrams. Instruments and placards moved, eliminated, repainted and painted from scratch. Individual instruments in Russian as they were historically. Yes, it correctly has the artificial horizon correctly Soviet-color-reversed, upside down-working (I even flew an ex-Soviet fighter that had this). Changes to the Mig-17F cockpit compared to the Mig-15Bis: 1. The Russians added the rearview mirror as standard. Apparently on the previous Mig-15, it created too many technical problems to include. http://www.vectorsite.net/avmig15_2.html 2. -The temperature gauge was changed according to some photos to add a big colorful half red circle and they eliminated the colorful rainbow gauge casing around it. 3. -They added a large red canopy handle according to some photos (very colorful and distinctive!). 4. The instrument panel rivets started having long screw driver holes in them according to some photos! 5. A big, silver instrument casing was added to the clock below the artificial horizon...probably a reward for graduating from the Mig-15 :). 6. Two toggle switches and two extra buttons were added to the cockpit coaming. 7. Finally, the American-style six diamond gunsight reticle replaced the old British-style round circle.

Mig-15Bis/Mig-17 cockpit near completion. From multiple photos. If you look closely, you can see lightening holes on the instrument supporting frame on the left and right. Note the "steam engine" rivets on the panel and the two leather straps on the glare guard supports... What else would hold the Mig together?...or maybe they were for entertaining Soviet women after the flight? Yes, the Korean pilot Mig-15 pilot, No Kum-Sok, stated that his Korean war Mig-15 Bis gunsight reticule had "six diamonds"* -copied after the American gunsight I think. Now, let's get complicated. Two Russian Mig-15 (early?) gunsight photos with F-86s neatly plastered in the gunsight reticule shows the "ole round ring" reticule around the F-86s (copied from a British gunsight manufactured in Poland, I believe). If I were really aggressive, I could put German writing on some of the instrument panel as No Kum-Sok reports that some of his Mig-15s had. He believed that it was from German stamping machines taken from Germany after World War II. Pretty close in lineage to the ole Ta-183, eh? * Book "A Mig-15 to Freedom", No Kum-Sok .

Hmmm, maybe I am wrong, but I recently (last month or so) read on a defense forum that BVR is almost useless in reality because of friendly fire concerns. In the opening salvo of a war where you know it's only enemy "over there" it usually works (unless neutral or friendly neighboring countries might have enemy aircraft types). However after the war starts, it gets almost impossible to know and coordinate where all your friendlies are including Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine air units and Allies, helicopter, observation, recce, drone, close support, transport, all over the place. The defense forum stated that even recently in Iraq with the most advanced military and AWACS systems on the planet and complete air superiority, the USA was still killing its own air units by other friendly air units. Maybe the IFF breaks down on a single aircraft/helicopter. Maybe there is combat damage that disables the IFF. Maybe an emergency rescue mission is needed or a sudden fire support mission is needed to stop a base overrun as in Viet Nam, etc. Maybe the best trained AWACS operator in the world screws up (like in Iraq) and you got a friendly fire incident that actually happened in Iraq. Another concern is emission radar identification missile technologies. In it, the seeker warhead can detect the emissions of a certain aircraft based on shape, engine waves, etc, a SU-27 for example. Your Allies or neighboring countries might have the same aircraft types. India has SU-27s. Australia is contemplating getting Russian SUs also. It increases doubt of a friendly fire incident if you fire BVR. So the defense forum stated that in reality, unless you are the nutty Chinese or Russian empires and don't care about friendly fire incidents ("the whole is more important than the individual") ...it just won't happen in reality very much. So we are back to visual range rules in most cases in present and future combat. Just a thought.

Wow, what an achievement! It is beautiful!

F9F Panther cockpit almost finished-based on the Thirdwire scooter cockpit.

Thanks for suggestions!

Nice, I've always liked this sim!

File Name: Dassault Super Mystere B.2 Early-Mid life cockpit Ver2.0 (From CA_Stary's) File Submitter: ordway File Submitted: 4 Jul 2008 File Updated: 28 Mar 2009 File Category: Jet Cockpits This is mostly CA_STARY's work and you should quote him as the main author. All I did was add eighteen or so items/working features to his already brilliant cockpit. I used several Super Mystere color cockpit photos to bring it to better represent an early to mid-life Super Mystere B.2 cockpit. It has a round working afterburner warning light, a photorealistic lower instrument panel and the more standard WW2-type artificial horizon among other items listed in the readme. Thanks CA_Stary!!!! Super Mystere B.2 cockpit (based on Thirdwire F-100D's) for Wings Over Israel YOU NEED ONE of these games to be able to use it! SFP1/SFP1Gold/WoV/WoE 3D .LOD file not included! This is a modification and repaint of Thirdwire's F-100D cockpit and CA_Stary's cockpit to better represent an early to mid-life Super Mystere B.2 cockpit. The Super Mystere was of the same generation/class as the supersonic F-100, but was smaller. Over Saykal, Israeli Super Mysteres encountered a pair of Syrian MiG-21s and although outclassed by the MiGs, shot both of them down. By the end of the first day of 1967 Six Days War hositilities, Super Mysteres had destroyed 5 aircraft in the air. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2848/smbd.htm In 1975, Israel sold 12 complete airframes and 6 sets of spares to Honduras. The aircraft were involved in numerous border skirmishes with Nicaragua and were finally withdrawn from service in 1996. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Super_Myst%C3%A8re Ver2.0- Added eight amber and red warning lights to vertical windscreen braces as per photos.

Version 2.0- Added eight round amber and red warning lights to the vertical windscreen braces as per photos.

Dassault Super Mystere B.2 cockpit early-to-mid series production version almost ready. This is based on CA_Starys beautiful cockpit with his kind permission. It is taken from three color photos, has tremendous detail and includes the more normal earlier black artificial horizon. It has a working round afterburner indicator lamp. In many ways, it was an evolutionary cockpit derived from the Mystere IV cockpit. It was France's equivalent of the supersonic F-100 Super Sabre, but smaller. The Super Mystere saw much combat with the Israelis. The aircraft saw action in the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. They reportedly shot down two Mig-21s as well as least five other Arab aircraft.

Yikes That's nice!!!

Thanks, I remember well reading those in Tours!

Thanks Mk 2! This site is literally one of the wonders of the Internet!

Thanks! I lived in Paris for a year and fell in love with the Dassault aircraft family. When training in French in the United States, one of our required courses, was to listen every night to French audio tapes about an espionionage story about Dassault fighters and factories...and then we read the French aircraft series Tanguy et Laverdure...high times!

I just did my part...and added a new cockpit!

Israeli Mystere IVA cockpit almost finished from the Thirdwire scooter cockpit: From multiple color photos. The sucessful Dassault Mystere IVAs saw combat in the Middle East with the Israelis and scored kills. It was France's answer to the American F-86 Sabre. It had two internal DEFA 30MM cannons.

It's released now. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6890 Final release photo

Very nice, please finish it...the more cockpits the better!

Yes, if someone wants to detune the engines toward a more realistic lower power, please tell me about or post it. I have multiple color cockpit photos of the Cutlass. Wrench's F-4 cockpit is a good stand in. In reality, photos show that it has just a black instrument panel and not the F-4 gray color. Someday, if I am not busy with something else, I might rework it to a black color and do some other cockpit changes....but nice job Kevin.
