Gepard

No matter that the elbow hurts. I started to rework Gia Lam Airfield. So it looks at the moment: The main runway for fighters is the dark grey one. The bigger one was used for transport aviation.

Somewhere in Soth Vietnam

Update 2.1 hasn't been forgotten. I currently have tendonitis in my elbow, which makes working with the mouse less than enjoyable.

Hun over Nam.

Perhaps a problem with the bandwidth. If to may people are on this site it slowed down.

To the middle photo. I found a photo of a MiG-21SPS of the East German Air Force in my archiv, which is similar to the Soviet MiG-21PFM. Some instruments are on a different location, but this do not matter. The top botton or switch has the label пуск ускорит , what means in german: Startbeschleunigung and in english: start of the accelerator. Also SPRD or in english RATO system. Below the red button is a lable with сброс цели, what menas in german: Ziel zurücksetzen and in english: reset target. So i think it has something to do with the radar. Whether it is illuminated, i think so, but I'm not sure.

In the first and in the last photos it are lamps with different meaning, like warning lights, but i dont know which is which. It would be nice if you had a better resulution photo so that we can read the cyrillic written words. In the middle photo. The top button is for activating the SPRD system (rocket assisted take off) and for drop the rockets when they are burned out. For the red button i have no idea.

Original photo vs in game screenshot.

If you are chasing a MiG ... you should not forget, that the MiG may have a buddy. If so, shit happens.

The taxiways are not stock. They already have a dark "concrete" texture. The texture file has a size of 64x64 pixels. I replaced them with a 256x256 pixel texture and i got the strange flickering. So it looks in game: The texture of the taxiways and the additional parts are basically the same. The only difference is that the first are tga, the later jpg. Could it be, that the tga cause the flickering?

A small attempt to make stock airfield2 to look more like the real Gia Lam Airfield. As a next step i wanted to use for the stock taxiways the same texture which i use for the new taxiways. But unfortunately with the new texture the stock taxiways started to flickering in game. Weird!

Do you mean the NATO style emergency arresting cables at the end of the runway to prevent planes to overrun the runway?

Da Nang East Airfield alias Marble Mountain Airfield. A bigger USMC base east of Da Nang Airbase. It is a beginning. There are still a lot of barracks to be placed on this target area. Da Nang AB in the foreground, in the background you see the USMC base.

Somewhere over North Vietnam.

As in real life during Vietnam War the USAF has in DRV 2.1 to attack very high value targets, like some oil barrels, which are hidden in towns or woodland. And sometimes you get the task to attack the command post of Hilton Hanoi POW Camp. If you are not carefull you will not only bomb the Vietnamese, but also kill american colleges, which are POW in Hilton Hanoi. That's not so good for the missions score!
