In CFS3, we managed to create player useable ground vehicles and AA guns. It was easier admittedly because CFS3 allows you to take control of aircraft gun turrets, so if the tracked part of the SPAAG is the "pilot's" position as driver with a modified FM file, the air gunner's position simply functions the same way as it always does. It provides a bit of fun from time to time - you can drive round, and you can engage aerial or ground targets. So much for CFS3. But what of SF2? Admittedly, turrets are out because SF2 does not support player-operated turrets, but what about SAMs? Is there a way to adapt of model a player-operated SAM launcher, even if it is static? Could the FM file allow the launcher to tilt upwards somehow, without its changing place? Thinking jets and brakes for example - if the brakes are applied and the engine thrust increased, the attitude will change... I'm sure there must be a way to do this with some creative thinking, but I don't know my way round well enough... Merry Christmas, in the meantime!

Please remove my name from the list. I hadn't expected my work to be the object of so much misuse.

This suggests that the skin was done by Paulopanz. It wasn't. I did it. You've just discovered why I have stopped uploading any of my work for SF2 to CA. While I am certain this was a genuine oversight on your part, the practically limitless pillaging of other people's work by two or three of the contributors on this site means that such confusion becomes the norm.

CFS3 certainly does win on the accuracy of the flight dynamics - not the stock stuff, most of which goes straight into the dustbin - but the add-ons. We've recently finished a toatl overhaul of the stock Bf109g-6 and g-10 to produce pretty well all variants of the G and K series, and that includes a number of different engine and boost combinations. A LOT of very detailled work... Doctor Quest, there really are not that many aircraft from IL-2, what-ifs aside, that don't exist for CFS3... And there are far, far more that do exist in CFS3.

Hi Jeff, Start with the politically incorrect - what CA is to SF1/2, Sim Outhouse is to CFS. That's where the knowledge and the downloads are. Anyway - have you patched to 3.1a? If not, you need to get them, but as the official MS site has closed... Send me a PM with your email address and I'll mail you them tomorrow. Don't install a single mod or addon until you've patched and installed the mission builder. Found this - may be worth trying: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3867947 Then you need to download MAW - that's the Mediterranean Air War addon. It creates a whole new scenario with lots of aircraft, etc, etc. All vastly better than the original stuff. http://www.mrjmaint.com/MAW1.31/ Next comes ETO and PTO - again, a similar idea. ETO reworks the North-West Europe area completely, and PTO adds the Pacific Theatre. CFS3 is unlike CFS2 in that the 'world' does not exist, and the theatres are separate, not connected. SimOuthouse seems to be down at the moment, but when it's up again - certainly not long - come and see in the CFS3 forum, and we'll give you all the help and advice you need. ETO and PTO downloads here: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/category/10-eto-pto-sim-outhouse/ Just to keep your interest up, I've been working on these: Just to give you a bit of an idea!

The only BEIF MkIIc I have is LR792 K of 834 NAS, on HMS Battler in June 1944. It's standard temperate sea scheme with black spinner, 16 inch Oxford and Cambridge roundels and 24 x 21 inch tailflash and a single code letter, a red K outlined in white. No white bars or any other recognition features. Another one based in Ceylon is LR755 of 834 NAS in March 1944, which is in the temperate sea scheme with white spinner, 16 inch white and Oxford blue roundels and 24 x 21 inch tail flash, and no further markings at all. Not much to go on, is it!
