Whilst I've been fiddling with the Indian MiGs, some cockpit and weapons mods, I remembered we were missing the R-98M SAHM for the Fishpot/Flagons. I need an 'expert' to take a look at the data below, to see if I've gotten it fairlly close: If this works right, we'll now have an empty space filled; as it stands the Flagon carries 2 IRs as opposed to what it should be: 1 IRM (R-98MT) and 1 SAHM (R-98M) TIA!

Does the hardpoint for the hump on your A-4E(L) look like the and of course, the previoulsy listed fixes for the avionics humps MUST be made! Wrench kevin stein

I'm liking it!!! Good job! Wrench kevin stein ps: I have the K-14 sights for that too

Ok folks, all the IAF Fishbeds are up in the downloads section: Type 74 Type 76 Type 77 Type 95 Type 96 Type 96B The only one still 'in the hangar' is the Bison...still having some issues with the cockpit. I do know for a fact there is a 21-93 in the works by gerald14 (as I'm kinda helping him out with it); but I'm trying to make some edits on the cockpit he's using, with not a lot of luck. So, I may release mine as a 'whathehellisthis' mod, until something can be figured out with the nice pit he wants to use. (just can't get rid of the needles for the 2nd engine without losing the main panel for some reason...very strange...) Wrench Kevin Stein

View File Indian Air Force Type 96B Update Pak IAF Type 96B Fishbed C Update ver 2.0 Based on the original mod by Bob 'howling1' Hauser. Skins by Ghostrider883 What I've basically done, is 'rearrange' things to use the latest, Patch 4 versions of the 21MF lod, and 21MF data ini. == This package is designed to be used ONLY with the latest weapons pak!!! == == This package is also set to use the Magoo/Badger Mig-21MF cockpit - make sure you have it installed. == The loadouts have been set for Indian weapons; several of which might be new. Please check the 'Loadout Fixes' Thread at the CombatAce Knowledge Base for any further details. (and I've listed them in the enclosed 'readme' as well, plus a new one) Weapons carraige has been updated to reflect the use of some 'stand-off' style A-G missiles. I've NOT included any of the skins, as these were done by ghostrider883, but I've updated the decal ini for the "7Sq" skin. The skin bmps themselves fit fine, and need no updating (which is good, as I didn't really want to get into that!). PLEASE!!! (must I beg?) read the enclosed readme for detailed install instructions -- ya'll sensing a pattern here??? With thanks to the original modders/skinners that brought the Sub-Continet to our gaming world!! Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein ps: just in case anyone is interested, I've updated all the Pakistani MiG-21/J/F-7s as well, but they need to use pre-patch lods, which at the moment cannot be uploaded. I'm trying to figure out a work around... W Submitter Wrench Submitted 08/23/2007 Category Mig-21 Fishbed

It should be noted at this time, 2 other skins by Ghostrider883, the "4Ag" and "15_YT" need NO updating. All the decals and skin bmps work just fine with the later lods. Sometimes one actually gets lucky..... If there are other skins for this aircraft, please compare the decal ins and skin bmps to MAKE SURE they'll fit the newer lod. You'll also be using the weapons editor to add several weapons (mostly a new HAL Mig-21 Reco Pop), but double check your weaponsdata ini that the latest versions of the HAL missiles and twin IRM racks are installed.

"Too far back" , meaning the cockpit is positioned imporperly??? (pilot position is cockpit is 'off' from external view??) Open the data ini, and look for the "PilotPosition=" line Open the cockpit ini, and scroll down to the "CockpitSeat001" section. The 2 numbers should be pretty close...this is what I have in my cockpit ini: Position=0.0,1.20,1.15 That should get you relitevly close to the sweet spot. Wrench kevin stein

Ok, now that we got the XL HH Special, what about the 'White Elephant Squadron' from "Target: Point Zero"??? All the planes exist in First Eagles..... How we're going to get a Merlin in the DR.1 is beyond me though.... Wrench kevin stein

I think those are SAM trails....!!!!!!!! Must be the Suez SAM Fence.... That Wimpy and Halifax will be great WW2 addon...the Vatour's been EGERLY awaited!!! Wrench kevin stein

Nick Bell has a superb 'fix' for the HAWKs...its in the downloads section, not sure if its in the 'Other Object Mods' or which one! Even has the positions laid out for NATO defenses (WoE ONLY, though - but the data ini for the hawk can be used,as it's a ground object. Just back up your original, and drop the new one in. Not enough information on this one....hell, I've seen Badgers and Bulls running SEAD missions, and they sure DO bomb things. Need a little more here to fill in the gaps...what kind of aircraft, what years, what terrain; do you have the weapons pak installed? are the aircraft editied to use the weapons pak...lots of variable here we need to know. They could just be running away 'cause you've scared them off!!! Wrench kevin stein

That kinda stuff really breaks my heart.... all the good scrap metal just falling into the sea... Don't you folks care about the enviroment???? All the aluminum could be recycled ... just think of how many beer cans that MiG could have become ... and all the petrochemicals (well, those that survive the fire - another pollutant!) can be reused. That's why, I personally try to make ALL my kills over land .... that way the Recovery & Recycling Group can go out and collect the metal, and turn it into some else ... the aforementioned beer cans, soda cans, foil for cooking, the rubber in the tires could be ground up and used for road paving, the electronics could find itself reused in cheap radios or CD players or ipuds.... The list is endless of "What Do You Do With A Dead MiG" .... I think there's even a book out on the subject. So remember, people, 'Think Globaly, Act Localy'.... recycle those Used MiG Parts into something good.... I really should get a job writing comedy.... Wrench kevin stein

A little more information is needed: 1) what version of the game -SF, WoV, WoE??? 2) Any error messages with the crash? 3) are all the necessary objects in you game install?? Ground, aircraft, weapons etc.... I don't have the 73 campain, but I think it was build for SF only...double check your readme to sure. Wrench kevin stein

Not bad... Not bad at all!!! You know there's blue tactical numbers in my IL-28T mod, right??? They're the stock 3rdW red tga's repainted -- a time consuming process that involved extracting ALL 100 numbers and re-coloring them. PIA that was Some suggestions; convert images to jpg, get an account a photobucket, and upload there. Or use the gallery here at CA ... very convient! The bmps are kinda big. so, what did you change, and how did you did it??? I do have one 'mean' thing to say... EASY AVIONICS????? sheesh!!!! Waddaya gonna do with kids these days!!! Wrench kevin stein

Yup, you're right...they'r the same size. Strange, as the weaponsdata ini call for the AN-M65 lod for the 1000 #er...must have been a 'sizing' problem when they were first created, oh so long ago. I wouldn't worry about it too much; you can always 'upsize' the the 2000 lb lod, it you want, AN-M66A1 or AN-M66A2 (don't know what the differences are exactly), although it might be a tad tooo large; should be somewhere inbetween methinks. Remember: No Target Too Small, No Weapon Too Large Wrench kevin stein

Crusader's answer is the right one.... I was gonna say 'shave it'....but this is a family forum (this from the guy with a beard!) There are a couple of good MiG radar bmps around ,whch also work for the Su-9/11 Fishpots, Su-15 Flagon, Yak-25/28 Flashlight/Firebar, etc, and any others that might need it: RP-21 - has no range grid PR-22 - has fixed 'ticks' at 10,20, 30 KM (both can be found in the Magoo/Badger Fishbed cockpit sets) You can also, depending on the years, use the F-4E_radar.bmp (has a nice square gird), or even just a square black bmp. Just make sure it's 256x256 -- just make sure it's a square Wrench kevin stein

Yeah baby!!! Now, hopefully HrntFxer can fix the issue with the "W" for the Wingman "Hawk Hunter Special"....sweetness!!!! And to Dels -- many thanks!!! Wrench kevin stein

That 180 gig external USB drive was the best investment I've ever made! Highly reccomended, that along with either CD or DVD backups. I'd better get started.... Wrench kevin stein
