Deliveries were made from october 1960 to november 1962.

Here is a list of squadron with operational dates on Mirage IIIC of the Armée de l'air :

 

Escadron de Chasse 1/2 Cigognes (july 1961 - october 1975)

Escadron de Chasse 2/5 Île-de-France (july 1966 - 1975)

Escadron de Chasse 2/10 Seine (july 1969 - may 1985)

Escadron de Chasse 3/10 Vexin (1978 - may 1985)

Escadron de Chasse 1/13 Artois (january 1962 - 1965)

 Some addition and correction:

Escadron de Chasse 1/10 Valois (1974-1981)

Escadron de Chasse 3/10 Vexin used the Mirage IIIC until 1988.

Among the Third Wire designations, the one reflecting the most confusion from my perspective is the MiG-21PFV. There was no MiG-21PFV. The Vietnamese flew the same export variants of the PF series flown by other clients. Russian sources don't note any special version with a "V" for Vietnam or some customization used by Vietnam. The extra letters usually annotate some sort of weapon, sensor, or propulsion upgrade.

Indeed, there was no 21PFV.

Strike - the SAAF way

French Huns in camo look cool.

No matter what compatibility settings I try, I still get random success/failure exiting the flight.

Streak,

You might want to try this instead of enbseries. It gives me better frame rate and seems to be more stable (though I have an old PC and am still on Win 7).

Blade i checked in the campaigns data but every squadron isnlocated at an airfield. How can i understand of this airfield Is off the border?

Open the target.ini of your terrain. See if you can find any ’OffMapAirBase=TRUE' entries.

yes  the heavy bombers

Try removing them and see what happens.

Buddha,

Do you have units based at off-maps airbases?

As far as my research goes, those pylons were not often used operationally. One source says that loading them caused significant extra drag. Nevertheless, here are a few pictures showing Turkish F-104S Starfighters with practice bombs and Italian ones with BL755s and Sidewinders.

A long time ago I found a topic at a forum discussing HI ANG Phantoms. Unfortunately, it does not exist now, but, luckily, I saved the text in a txt file. It says that the 199th TFS had all variants of the USAF camo and grey schemes in the '80s. See the quotation below:

The 199th operated F-4C's during the mid to late 80's in Euro 1 (Lizard), SEA Wrap-around, SEA, and ADC Gray in addition to Hill Gray. Made for a colorful and very diverse ramp up until the Eagles showed up in 87 (I believe).

Awesome photos! Do you know where they were taken?

Filenames say Martlesham Heath.

- Wing spoilers fully functioning on the 3D models of the aircraft! Turns out they were always there but just not used.

IIRC the problem with those is that they are one-sided nodes, and, for this reason, look weird when open...

Otherwise great project!

What look strange to me is that in the Load inis are present lines for 7 pylons but in the Data inis there're only five pylons, the Winders' ones are omitted, can be these the problem?

I know that in the Data the outer pylons are allowed to carry IRM but there no lines for the rack

If these are the only weapon stations in your _Data.ini, then my guess is that you use an outdated file. The F-105D_66_Data.ini extracted from the latest version of the game includes 7 stations (6 & 7 are the AIM-9 stations). Remove the _Data.ini from your F-105D_66 folder.

Another Philippine 'sader.

It is not random. Like you said, you have to place the holes where you want them to appear.

Did the Mustang Mk. IV flew during D-day? I can't find a picture of a Mk. IV with D-day stripes.

No, it did not. The RAF received the first ones early 1945.

Here you go, from the data file:

Thanks.

The data.ini looks correct. Probably a hierarchy issue within the model...? If so, you can try one thing. Add the following line at the end of the [RightWing] section:

DetachNode[001]=RightOuterWing

And, similarly, under [LeftWing]:

DetachNode[001]=LeftOuterWing

These entries will detach the outer wing node when the inner wing is destroyed.

I'm trying to understand why the outer wing doesn't fall away when the inner wing is destroyed. Makes for an odd look. Any ideas how to fix this?

What is the 'ParentComponentName' of the outer wing? It should be the right wing (usually called 'RightWing' by default).

Very nice! Will you upload the skins to the download section?

Thank you. File uploaded, pending approval.

And something completely different: USAS S.E.5a
The 25th AS was the only American fighter squadron equipped with the S.E.5a. They did not see much combat, as the squadron flew only two uneventful patrol missions before the hostilities ended.

I-15 in Soviet colors.

I checked it. It seems that the game sees any decals with no DecalLevel line as a nation-specific decal (the default value for this parameter seems to be 0). Try reinserting the 'DecalLevel=' line but with a different value (e.g. 'DecalLevel=2'). Do not use 1, because the squadron selection would become active again.

Well, I hope someone who knows how to do it is willing to help. Otherwise, I'll have to find about this myself.

Do you have nation-specific entries (the ones that have 'DecalLevel=0' lines) in your Decals.ini? If so, remove the 'DecalLevel=0' lines.

It is fixed now. Thank you.
