  1. Outstanding new tile set for the MiG Alley terrain! The new larger city tiles with their new corresponding TOD files look great, and the whole countryside with its larger and more detailed tiles is much improved. Great job, thanks
  2. Hmm... on second thoughts, I am not sure that a Poland 1939 terrain would be all that challenging. I have been playing around with some test missions on the stock desert terrain, using the available 1939 Polish and German aircraft (PZL P.11c, Bf-109D and E, Bf-110, Ju-87B, Do-17P and He-111), and it is all fairly one-sided. The Polish fighter is completely outclassed by either variant of the Bf-109, and even by the Bf-110, and the only German aircraft it can (sometimes) catch is the Ju-87. So I think it would be an interesting terrain from the historical point of view, but unless you like lop-sided contests, it would not get much regular use.
  3. Well, if you are asking for opinions, my vote would be for a terrain based on the 1939 Polish-German borders and cities (since we already have terrains for the 1941-45 Russian Front, and for WW2 Finland and Murmansk). Not much room for a few Soviet airbases to the east of Poland in that Ostpreussen TFD, though.
  4. Understood, making a terrain is way beyond my skill, and I appreciate the work of those who can do it.
  5. Found the reference, it was a proposed terrain from Terrainmeister Gepard a few years back: It would be great to see this one completed at some stage.
  6. The recent redux version of Zur's PZL P.11 made me wonder if we have ever had a terrain for the German/Polish 1939 campaign. I had a vague recollection that a while back someone (Gepard perhaps?) was working on one, but I have had a good look in the various discussion forums and the download section but can't find anything like it. Do we have such a terrain?
  7. I can send you (or upload here) the 2017 PZL P11 Data.INI, but as Trotski says, if it is the entire aircraft package you need, you will have to get that from the A-Team website.
  8. I have two PZL P-11Cs: a Gen1 version (i.e. with no bump mapping) from Feb 2006 by Zur, and a Gen2 version (with bump mapping and a revised Data.INI flight model) from June 2017 by Capun. I don't remember where I got the Zur 2006 model (probably here), but the 2017 version is part of the A-Team's WW2 Russian Front all-inclusive Mod (it is in Romanian colors) and you can get it over there. The aircraft models are different, in their components, so the later Data.INI won't easily port over to the earlier model.
  9. Nice!! (is that the Veltro2k model from 2010, or a newer version?)
  10. A LOD in the Mod folder will, as we all know, be used by the sim ahead of the original in the CAT file, that is one of the fundamental bases of modding, but TK locked the CAT files in Gen2 for the very reason that he didn't want LODs extracted from them. So it is probably piracy to extract and use (and certainly to post or distribute) LODs from a Gen2 CAT file (even if anyone knew how to do it, which I have never seen mentioned).
  11. The problem with that, I think, is that Gen2 LODs cannot be extracted from the ObjectData CAT file (ObjectData026.CAT for these carriers), and unless you can extract them I don't think you can hex-edit them. Unless, of course, someone has worked out how to find and then hex-edit the CV-63 LOD inside the CAT file, without extracting the LOD, but that risks screwing up the entire CAT file, which has a heap of other ships and aircraft in it. Alternatively, if you have SF1 (Gen1) you could extract the CV-63 LOD and use it instead of the Gen2 version - it has a bare deck, with no Sea Kings on it.
  12. Try adjusting the roll damping coefficient (Clp= ) in the FM-2's Data.INI file. Open the FM-2.Data.INI and look for the lines Clp=xxx. The numbers will probably be something like -0.0125 for the left and right wings, and -0.1765 for the left and right outer wings. Try reducing these numbers to something like -0.0105 for the wings, and -0.1265 for the outer wings. That should give you a better roll rate.
  13. Are the missing aircraft outside the Date Range (if there is one) of the terrain? If so, they won't show up. In the terrain's INI file, look for [AllowedDates] StartDate= EndDate= Alternatively, you could try culling the number of aircraft you have in that install. It looks like you have about 700 aircraft in your install, which is a lot. The NZ terrain is an old one - maybe it doesn't like such large numbers of alternatives.
  14. I have the Profile Publications No.195 on the Potez 63 series, and it says that the 63.11 had a "vertical bomb bay between the two crew members", which held eight 10kg bombs, but only on aircraft delivered before 1 January 1940. Hope this helps.
  15. Brilliant!! A beautiful-looking aircraft and a great back-story, thanks Spinners.
