How does one add these to the terrain? I didn't spot anything in the Knowledge Base. I'd like to try putting my old IHAWK Bn on the Germany map, although I've catch the drift that there is a problem in getting NATO ADA assets to function?

Would using the WW2 formation mod help?

A question for the experts - is it possible within the framework of the sim engine to create stand-off jammers? Or is ECM modeled for the target only? If only the latter, wouldn't it be more realistic to reduce the effectiveness of the detection & lock capabilities of the weapon systems to represent the stand-off jamming? I was an ADA officer back in the 1980s and have "some" knowledge of US and foreign ADA systems. The lack of correct ECM/ECCM modeling in my flights has always bothered me. I don't think it is a lack of publicly available data, just a lack of understanding on the part of designers. Perhaps they can be forgiven. I was fortunate back then to participating in Red Flag exercises which forced the re-acquaintance between the USAF and a device called an "IFF" So even the players don't always pay attention to important details.

Although not based on a novel that I know of, a modern version of the Battle of Britain would be interesting and doable since the basic map is available. Easy for me to volunteer someone else to do it

Interesting comments about the Halberstadt D2. Is there some confusion between the D2 and D3? I thought it interesting to compare Tucker Hatfield's (Red Baron 2) comments which I got from Cage's World: 4. The Halberstadt DII was a very poor plane. The engine did not develop sufficient power for its weight. The airfoil had poor AOA characteristics, and the undersized vertical stabilizer provided inadequate lateral stability. The center of lift was close to the center of gravity, and that gave the plane poor roll stability. There is an anecdotal report of Manfred Von Richtofen being saved by his seat belt while ferrying a DII when the plane suddenly rolled inverted unexpectedly from level flight. Only two Jasta's were equipped with the Halberstadt DII, and those planes were soon withdrawn from service. Note I'm not throwing stones, just looking for clarification or opinions.

Sounds excellent and I look forward to the updates. Thanks for your work on these!

Sincere thanks to everyone who obviously put a lot of hard thought and work into this campaign package. Excellent stuff!

Just downloaded SFP1 Dev A-Team new Pfalz III. Beautiful model - thanks guys! Gave it a spin. Good visibility, decent acceleration and fairly speedy but climbs like a slug and manuevers...well, it makes the SPAD look nimble Not pleasant having 2 SPADS glued to my tail for five minutes. Could only break away for a short time before they were back on me. Eventually killed me. I think Allied flyers will be overjoyed to see this added to the German inventory. Many thanks to Capun, Gramps, Charles, Kesselbrut & The Wrench!

Nevertheless the Allies lost hundreds (if not thousands - 5000+ Allied planes were lost in the war, most in the last 2 years) of aircraft well after Bloody April and before the introduction of the DVII - a period when all the Germans had were Alb DV's, Pfalz DIII,s and a handful of Dr-1s. And while lousy Allied pilot training and tactics may have had an impact on this, it doesn't explain it all. If the common German planes were so awful (as depicted in the game now) the Allied Airforces would have swept them from the skies. (this is of course merely my opinion based on my study of the subject)

One has to wonder if these are accurate depictions, how did the German's manage to shoot down as many Allied aircraft as they did? Seems a bit overdone IMO.

Looks good, Firecage!
