  2. Hello, fellow simmers/modders! It has been a while since I last touched SF2 (very little flying and no modding at all for over a year now). I've had this project sitting on my HHDD for far too long and I thought sharing and posting it would somehow force myself to finish it once and for all. With Florian's kind assistance and generosity in sharing his reworked Tornado IDS model with me, I have resumed work on my 1991 Operation Granby/Desert Storm RAF Tornado GR1 skin(s). Baseline skinning is almost over. I should begin with the custom artwork for each individual jet (the fun part) soon. Below a few screens of progress so far: Planned Scope of Work comprises the following: - Aircraft re-skinning (including as many individual custom markings/artwork as possible) - External stores (1,500 & 2,250 litre fuel tanks, Sky Shadow jamming pod, BOZ107 flare dispenser, TIALD laser targeting pod, etc.) re-skinning - INI tweaks (accurate loadouts, etc.) - 3D Model tweaks (beyond my current set of skills, but hopefully involving addition of chin-mounted LRMTS & twin-blade dorsal UHF antenna and repositioning of emergency canopy release handle) - Compatibility with "Operation Desert Storm" campaign for SF2 I can't promise this will ever be released (I would need approval from the respective authors first), but that is indeed the final objective. Feel free to jump in and provide as much constructive criticism as you like. Cheers

    Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Sea Harrier FRS.1 For Falklands 1982 All-inclusive mod This is a set of two skins for the Sea Harrier FRS.1 model available through the Falklands 1982 All-inclusive mod, original by Kesselbrut. Original skins have been heavily tweaked and upgraded for a - hopefully - more realistic look, with new decals, details and weathering effects. This pack includes skins both for 800 and 801 Naval Air Squadrons Sea Harriers, as well as a reworked and enhanced skin for the 100-gallon external fuel tanks. CREDITS & THANKS: Sundowner for the original skins MontyCZ, Column5 and Russo for the SHar mod Kesselbrut for the Falklands mod The CombatAce community

  5. Britain has invaded 172 countries!

    if you have a toilet, running water, electricity and a refrigerator at home, then you're most likely a victim of British cultural and technological 'invasion' back to the Industrial Revolution.
  6. Wow, it's been ages since I last posted here... anyway, here are some interceptors doing some interception Expedite climb-out: Levelling out & consolidating the formation: Edge of space Would-be victims ahead! Solid radar lock: Turkey shoot! Let's bug out before the escorts get us!

    Falklands War-era Weapons Mini-Pack This is a small collection of skins for weapons used in the 1982 South Atlantic conflict by both British and Argentine forces. They are made with the Falklands All-Inclusive Mod by Kesselbrut in mind but, should you wish to do so, you can use them in any mod you like. I have chosen to include new LOD files available via the SF/WO* Community Weapons Pack since some skins are purposely designed for them and will not work with stock FLK Mod ones. However, I encourage you to download the Weapons Pack as it contains literally tonnes of new weapons ready for use. You'll get two skins and LOD files for different AIM-9 Sidewinder missile ("G" and "L") models. The Sidewinder "Lima" model was the latest and newest in short-range heat-seeking missiles in the Falklands War and is responsible for downing over 20 Argentine aircraft in air-to-air combat. It's meant to be available for the RAF Harrier GR.3 and RN Sea Harrier FRS.1. The GBU-123/B (LOD and skin included) is a 1000lb British Mk13/18 free-fall bomb fitted with a Paveway II laser guidance kit. It was used, despite a few early miss drops given crew's unfamiliarity with the system, with great success by RAF Harrier GR.3 aicraft having targets designated for them by ground forces. Argentine weapons included are the French-built Matra R550 Magic I AAM. Aircraft that should be able to carry it are the Argentine Air Force Mirage MIIIEA and Navy - Comando Aéreo Naval - Super Étendard... and last but not least, perhaps what was known as the most fearsome weapon in the combat theatre of operations: the Aèrospatiale AM39 Exocet air-to-surface missile, a weapon that caused severe losses to the Royal Navy Task Force by taking out HMS Sheffield, a Type 42 destroyer, and Atlantic Conveyor, which carried vital supplies for the British forces attempting to re-take the islands. This is the primary anti-surface weapon for the Super Étendard. CREDITS: -------- Original LOD files for AIM-9L/G and GBU-123/B obtained from the SF/WO* Community Weapons Pack , so credits go to everyone involved in that particular project. AIM-9L/G and GBU-123/B artwork based upon original work by JanHas, tweaked and enhanced for use in Strike Fighters. AM39 and R550 made from photo references found throughout the Web. Hope you enjoy this mini-pack!
  8. Holy...! This is awesome! Been looking for this aircraft for a long time. Yes indeed, and despite their heavier loadouts (with the 'clean' MiGs out-performing them in the acceleration), the F1s usually came on top: Here's the layout of the -AZ's cockpit, with the moving map display in the centre: Great project!

    Hola a todos, ¡qué lindos modelos y skins, de verdad felicitaciones! Estoy algo desconectado del SF (y la simulación de vuelo en general) y del foro pero hoy entré a revisar (me picaron los dedos, jejejeje) No, se arrendaron a Embraer (no al gobierno brasilero) y fueron volados por tripulaciones argentinas. En el volumen III de la obra Historia de la Aviación Naval Argentina del Contralmirante (ret) Héctor A. Martini hay un capítulo que habla sobre eso y detalla los nombres de las tripulaciones que se entrenaron en Brasil en las particularidades y sistemas del EMB111 y los volaron luego en combate.

    Operation 'Corporate' Sea Harrier FRS.1 Improvement Pack This is my effort in order to improve the Royal Navy Sea Harrier FRS.1, primarily (but not necessarily) for its use with the Falklands Mod by Kesselbrut; hopefully it will make the aircraft more fun and enjoyable to fly. I have included features by other modders and community developers in order to enhance the Sea Harrier experience; credits are given to their respective creators and original ‘Readme’ files are included. FEATURES 1- Ten high-resolution skins, seven of which are historically accurate for three Fleet Air Arm Naval Air Squadrons, with custom decals, particular features and even kill marks. 2- New custom pilot skin featuring accurate British kit, including Mk.36 helmet and Type P.2A oxygen mask. 3- Revised and more realistic flight model. 4- Tweaked radar performance, radar modes and displays for a more realistic feel 5- Improved sound and visual effects 5- Fly with the pros! Historical pilot names .LST file and real Falklands War veteran Harrier and Sea Harrier pilot photos. CREDITS Sea Harrier 3D model by Monty CZ and BPAo (may he rest in peace †) Pilot LOD by AmokFloo Mk.10 ejection seat by AleDucat and the BANIDOS TEAM Original cockpit by Monty CZ and Kesselbrut, textures by VolksJager Pegasus engine sound and fuselage vortex effects by bobrock As usual, these files are to be freely distributed, used for enjoyment purposes only and may not be used for profitable means. My many thanks to the modders and developers who created some of these wonderful add-ons. I hope you enjoy this pack! ChrisBV www.combatace.com

    Gracias amigos por acordarse de mi XD Estoy entrando muy poco al foro, les agradezco el gesto.
  12. AMRAAM de FaCh

    @ Silverbolt, acá tienes otra foto de AIM-120 AMRAAM en un F-16C FACh:
  13. AMRAAM de FaCh

    El F-5E Tigre III chileno fue homologado para llevar Derby (el radar ELTA EL/M-2032 ciertamente es capaz de proveer iluminación para dicho misil) pero en la última FIDAE se comprobó que nunca se compró Derby para la FACh, aunque se hicieron tiros de prueba con los brasileros (esto me lo confirmó una persona que estuvo allá y conversó íntimamente con pilotos chilenos). El misil BVR del F-16 chileno siempre fue el AMRAAM, desde la propia etapa de negociación del sistema de armas Fighting Falcon. En Perú tenemos dos variantes del MiG29: los bielorrusos MiG29 izdeliye 9.13 'Fulcrum C' ex-soviéticos, que están armados con el SARH (guía radar semi-activa) R27 (AA-10) 'Alamo' y los comprados posteriormente a Rusia que son solamente 3, modelo MiG29SE izdeliye 9.13SE, compatibles con el más moderno RVV-AE (AA-12) 'Adder'. Los 'Fulcrum' más antiguos no pueden llevar el RVV-AE. Los Mirage 2000 solo tienen el misil R550 Magic II como misil de corto alcance IR para autodefensa, no tenemos en inventario misiles BVR para el Mirage 2000 aunque debería ser compatible con el SARH Super 530D/F. No se han comprado estos misiles: la modernización de 1994 buscó reforzar al Mirage 2000 en el rol de ataque, introduciéndose sistemas de guerra electrónica y contramedidas (chaff/flare) y compatibilidad con armas guiadas por láser (bombas de 227kg con kits de guía israelíes Elbit Lizard).
  14. AMRAAM de FaCh

    ¡Hola amigos! Tanto tiempo sin darme una vuelta por acá. Silverbolt, acá tienes fotos del AMRAAM en la FACh: Efectivamente, la versión en servicio en Chile es AIM-120C5 (por ahi tengo un paper de Raytheon donde se confirma, lo buscaré para postearlo).
  15. Preguntas varias y dudas en general

    Holas, disculpen si esto ya ha sido preguntado pero... ¿cómo hago para usar los buques HMS Brilliant y HMS Antelope en el mapa de Malvinas? Los bajé e instalé como dicen las instrucciones pero no entiendo cómo hacerlos "aparecer" en el juego...
  16. I'm afraid it's a LOD/mapping issue I can't fix :(
  17. Hello, Spiff. Could you please post a screenshot showing the problem? IIRC I packaged the whole thing after testing it worked properly in my install. Show me where the problem is and I'll fix it for you and re-upload the pack if necessary ;)
  18. Preguntas varias y dudas en general

    Muchas gracias por las respuestas, usé el "método Tracker" y me funcionó perfecto. ¡Gracias!
  19. Preguntas varias y dudas en general

    Holas, tengo una preguntita respecto a los LOD. Supongan que quisiera eliminar un componente de un modelo (por decir, un ala o el tren de aterrizaje), ¿es posible hacerlo utilizando qué tipo de herramientas? Tengo el LOD abierto con un editor Hex y veo el nombre del mesh pero no sé qué cosa hacer ahí para "apagar" ese mesh y que ya no salga en el modelo 3D...
  20. feliz navidad

    Un muy fuerte abrazo para todos los amigos de CombatAce, ojalá la hayan pasado lindo en estas Navidades.
  21. Atlántico Sur

    Quería felicitar y agradecer a torno por su magnífico trabajo en las skins históricas de los Dagger. ¡Aplausos, maestro!
