Update:-

Yes please

Cool, thanks for looking at it.

Hi, Here's the link: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php/index I'm running IE6 on WinXP, fully updated. Not sure how to take a screenshot of the forum page but I'll try to work it out. The problematic entry is under the heading "Thirdwire - WoE/WoI/WoV/SF 1&2 - Knowledge Base" The text which reads "For those new to Thirdwire sims (including Strike Fighters/Wings over Vietnam/Wings over Europe/Wings over Israel/First Eagles" runs right across the page into the next box, over-writing other text. I note, the box for that text only has one line at the edge, and not two like all the others. Hope that helps. Cheers, Baltika

Hi Fates, Thanks to you and all the team for updating CA. Love your new themes, especially the dark one (easy on my old eyes). But, on dark theme, I am getting an error in the text settings. In the TW forums, under KB heading, all the text for the subheads of the forum scrolls right across the page, over the other boxes. Looks like some sort of text alignment error or something? Cheers, Baltika PS the error only occurs on the main CA forum index. If I go to the TW forum list, the problem disappears.

Thanks malibu Nice one, Baltika

Thanks for uploading these, Cheers. Baltika

Nice one, cheers

Cheers for the info, Allen. I was also wondering about a dedicated F-16MLU which would be closer to the mark for RNoAF? I seem to remember there was such a bird hereabouts, back in the day? There is a purpose to all this, of course - campaign building for my massive WIP Northern European terrain. The Arctic chill is heating up in the North Cape. Those who have all the old Janes titles on their shelf will know where this is going

Hi Viggen, As promised:- Personally, I would love to see a "Defender of the Reich" style campaign whereby you get to fly various weird and wonderful SWotL type planes against impossible odds. That would also give me an incentive to finish that EAW/Janes WW2F Luftwaffe speechpack to complement my RAF one. . . But, if you can handle setting up the core campaign data files, I am more than happy to do a Red-side conversion for a dedicated Luftwaffe campaign, adding various semi-fictional Erprobungsgruppe units Just give me a shout. Cheers, Baltika

I like it Can you get TE to tile it like that?

Thanks

Thanks Dave, I couldn't find the RNoAF skin over at the new Avsim. Cheers, Baltika

I have uploaded an updated version of this skin fixing the missing textures on the tailplane and exhaust nozzle skirting. That will teach me to upload a file at 4am!

Here ya go:- http://forum.combatace.com/index.php/topic/46301-norwegian-f-16/

File Name: Semi-Fictional RNoAF F-16 skin File Submitter: Baltika File Submitted: 26 Aug 2009 File Updated: 02 Sep 2009 File Category: F-16 Fighting Falcon Skins Semi-fictional RNoAF F-16A Skin 331Skv, 332Skv and 338Skv of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. What you get is a base skin in pale Norwegian colours with a set of decals to cover actual tail numbers for the three listed RNoAF squadrons. There are squadron crests to match each squadron. I have used a non-regulation Norwegian flag for the Fin Flash as I am no artist and I couldn't track down the right sort of decal. One word of warning, this skin will work on Team Viper's F-16A Block 10 model, rather than the newer TMF vipers. xevilpetex has released an updated version of Team Viper's F-16A Block 10:- http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=3099 Alternatively, Team Viper's Viper Pack is now available here at CA, complete with Norwegian skin:- http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=9775 Thanks to Team Viper (wpnssgt, Sundowner & Dave) for their F-16 pack, xevilpetex for his .ini updates, and wpnssgt for uploading a template for this plane. Thanks also to Derk for advice on the RNoAF F-16. Simply drop the folder "RNoAF2" into your /Objects/Aircraft/F-16A_10 folder, and go fly. Cheers, Baltika August 2009 Update: Fixed missing textures on tailplane and on engine exhaust nozzle skirting. 3 September 2009 Update: Removed top right and bottom left wing insignia Modified tailplane decal placement Toned down certain panel lines on wings Modified base skin colour in line with actual tones Changed nosecone colour Renamed skin folder to avoid conflict with Team Viper's RNoAF skin.

On patrol, somewhere near Tromsø Lufthavn, Norway: 331 Skv 332 Skv 338 Skv Need a bit more scuffing, and matching up of fuselage and tail colours, then I'll upload them. Let's just say they are more "representative" than authentic, but they'll do for now - Norway needs defended

Thanks anyway I may just try to do a quick re-decalling of a plain grey skin as a stand-in until something better comes along.

Sorry, can't help with Luftflotte 2 bases, maybe try here: http://www.ww2.dk/ Also, here is the rest of the USAAF 15 Army OOB, with XV Fighter Command:- Happy coding Cheers, Baltika

Here is USAAF 8th Army OOB for Feb 1944, with Luftwaffe day fighter OOB for the same period. OOBs courtesy of "Duel For the Sky - Ten Crucial Air Battles of WW2" by Christopher Shores, Guild Publishing, London, 1985. Well worth picking up a copy if you can find one. Next up, RAF Bomber Command OOB and Luftwaffe Nightfighter OOB for the same period.

You bet, I'd like to help out. I have a great source for OOB for just what you're after. Let me get my stuff organised and I'll see what I can post up here.

Thanks for the replies, guys. My mistake Turns out I had only installed the Soviet MiG-29 pack. I have now corrected that mistake. Duh! Off to fly some new MiGs :yes: Thanks to the MF & team for these great birds. I will keep you posted re terrain progress. Cheers again, Baltika

Well, I just couldn't let it lie Having recently finished Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, I realised why everyone was getting excited about Keflavik-based intercepts, and I realised that I just couldn't leave Iceland out of this terrain. So, I rebuilt the darn thing from the ground up, again Here is the revised version: I have also messed with the heightfield data to make the whole thing more rugged, and fun to fly over. The "stock" terrain frontline will be Cold War-era, as that is what the stock sim can handle for single missions. The terrain will ship with a modern 2010 based campaign featuring the air forces of everyone on the map. Russia and Belarus get to be the bad guys, everyone else is the good guys. The campaign engine can handle placing "ENEMY" nations on the FRIENDLY force, so Poland and Ukraine vs Russia will be catered for in the campaign. If anyone feels like whipping up a dedicated modern Polish skin for the MF MiG-29, that would be highly appreciated. My efforts are amateurish at best. Cheers all, Baltika

Sightseeing in the Bay. . . Proof of concept for terrain builders - TE will happily place super-high-res individual tiles alongside low-res standard tiles, and the WOx engine will fly them. Of course, you have to "create" the tiles, and hand place them in TE. But, you get the idea. Now, I just have to create an airfield.INI file that will work
