Gepard

Great idea, but perhaps you should use an other designation. There was a really Lockheed F-90. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_XF-90

I made an updated version of this terrain. Changes to previous version: - starting positions of the carriers are variable now - 2 more recon points - changed the sides on the map. Soviets starts west, NATO starts east (to simulate a carrier duell NW of Scottland) There is still a problem with Intercept missions. Im working on it.

File Name: MiG-21bisD1-3 File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 29 May 2014 File Category: What If Hangar MiG-21bisD1-3 german updateprogram (What if) *********************************** ---------------------------------------------------------- I. This mod is written for SF2 (a special WoE version is available in the download section) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. History: In January 1991 the Bundesverteidigungsministerium (ministery of defence of the Federal Republic Germany) decided to phase out all MiG-21 which were handed over after the reunification of Germany and scrap them. Two mounth later ingenieurs of the german DASA company (became later part of EADS) wrote a letter of memorandum to the chairmen of their company. In their memo they stated, that an updateprogram for the MiG-21 would be a profitable cashcow for the DASA company. As reasons for their statement they gave some points: 1. Repair and updatefacilities are already existing with the Flugzeugwerft Dresden 2. Skilled personal is available 3. Good connections to eastern Europe contries are given, because a lot of WP MiG's were repaired and overhauled in Dresden in the past. 4. The eastern european states are attempting to leave the zone of influence of the Sovietunion and will try to become closer to the western alliance. 5. The economic situation of the former WP states is so weak, that it is unlikely, that they will be able to purchase modern western equipment in the next decade. What means, that they will use the weapons they already have for a while. 6. The backbone of the fighter fleet of states like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania is still the MiG-21. Its an easy and cheap to operate plane and it is believed, that this plane will held in operational status till the year 2000. Conclusion: For states which are willing to become members of the NATO and still operating the MiG-21 is an offer of a german made MiG-21 update program a welcome gift. It brings the MiG-21 to NATO standard and helps the economic weak states to operate a significant fighter fleet.To support our selling attempts is is neccessary, that the Luftwaffe must operate the updated MiG-21 in significant numbers over a periode of 5 years minimum. In March 1991 the chairmen of the DASA decided to start a MiG-21 update program. Close informal connections to the Bundeskanzleramt and the MOD changed the fate of the MiG-21 in german service. The former east german Jagdgeschwader 8, based in Preschen, was relaunched under the new name "Erprobungsgeschwader 8". As operating aircraft only the MiG-21bis was choosen. In April 1991, the DASA offered 3 update levels for the MiG-21 with the task to improve the combat capabilities of the plane by minimal changes in original design. The project name was MiG-21bisD. The D stands for Deutschland, the german name for Germany. MiG-21bisD1, electronic update. It consist of the replacement of the RP-22 radar with the italian Grifo-7M, the implementation of an avionics container at the tailfin root, which contains an internal jammer SPS-142, a chaff - flare dispenser and parts of the NATO compatible radio equipment. The weapon system was modified to operate Sidewinder missiles, side by side with soviet made weapons. Only the R-3R missile was withdrawn, because the radar was unable to guide this weapon. The first MiG-21bisD1 was ready in November 1991 and entered the german service in spring 1992. In August 1992 the first MiG-21bisD1 was sold to Poland. MiG-21bisD2, agility update. With this update the MiG-21bis got a pair of canards to improve the agility of the plane, an inflight refuel probe, new NATO compatible radio and a new french made IFF system. The radar RP-22 was slightly improved by better computers, so that the range was increased by 10% and the target quisition time reduced by 50%. The weapon system changes consist only of the Sidewinder implementation. The first D2 was completed in December 1991 and entered german service in summer 1992. First costumer was the Hungary in spring 1993, followed by Croatia in summer 1993. A subversion was the MiG-21bisD2Cz for the Czech Republic which based on the MiG-21MF-75 and was delivered in mid 1993. This planes got the updated RP-22DM radars taken from the former east german MiG-21bis, but still had the old R-13-300 engines. MiG-21bisD3, full NATO compatibility. This modification included the MiG-21bisD1 avionic update and the D2 agility update. Additionally the plane plane got a new engine. The old R-25-300 was replaced by the RB-199 Mk.105 which was developed for the Tornado ECR. It was ~ 5% stronger than the R-25 and a good piece shorter. The now existing space was used for a bigger internal fuel volume. In Spring 1992 the first MiG-21bisD3 started for maiden flight, but the program came to a temporary stop, when the british company GEC Marconi Avionics offered their Blue Hawk and Blue Vixen radars to the program. In summer 1992 the implementation of the Blue Vixen was finished and in spring 1993 the plane became able to operate the new american AIM-120A AMRAAM missile. The first MiG-21bisD3 entered the german service in November 1993. It proofed as a reliable, capable and cheap to operate aircraft. In 1993 the "Erprobungsgeschwader 8" was renamed in JG75 "Erich Hartmann". It operated the MiG-21bisD3 and a later D4 update till it was replaced by the first Eurofighter Typhoon in 2004. Poland got the D3 in 1995, Romania in 1996. India showed an increased interesse for a licence production of the D3, but when the USA denied the AMRAAM capability India retreated from program and purchased the MiG-21BISON from Russia. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III.

I had forgotten to include Alejandros canards and ECM container for the MiG-21bisD1-3 into the files. Sorry, my fault. Thanks to GodLt who informed me. A new updated version is uploaded now. it only needs the confirmation by an admin. Sorry again.

The SF2 version is uploaded now.

Some photos taken at the Berlin Airshow ILA 2014. Airbus A380 AN-124 more to come.

And now the final pictures of the ILA 2014 Berlin Airshow

And here some photos of the GSG 9 parachute team: The engine of the A400M Atlas The Breitling team with their L-39C a czech Gripen And tomorrow the final 4 photos of my ILA2014 series

Its ukrainian. The ukrainian government cant rely on their army, so they send loyal pilots of the Air Force to attack rebel forces on the ground. The cyrillic text said, that it was a plane that launched a rocket attack over the town of Donezk on May 26.

Perhaps a kind of friend or foe marking. Maybe they told the ground forces: all planes with mayak (navlights) on are ours, with mayak off are russians.

The czech insignia and the duch insignia are very similar. The dutch have an orange dot in the middle and the direction of the colors of the insignia is different. Back to ILA Some other helis czech Hips in a CSAR demo

As promised part 2 of ILA 2014 photos. This time czech Mi-24V

War jemand von euch bei der ILA? Ich bin heute hingefahren. Ein paar Fotos gibt es hier: http://combatace.com/topic/82844-ila-2014/?p=665668

Bin gerade im Flugzeugforum über diese Grafik gestolpert. Wäre das nicht mal eine lohnenswerte Aufgabe für die Skingurus?

IIRC the planes will appear as single if you defines their role as Transport in the data.ini

Ich habe es hinbekommen indem ich die alten Dateien weggeschmissen habe und alles noch mal ganz neu von WOE rüberkopiert habe. Plötzlich ging es. Frag mich nicht weshalb. Hauptsache es klappt. Was zur Zeit noch nicht klappt sind die deutschen taktischen Nummern. Bisher habe ich die stock F4FNum aus WOE verwendet. Die scheint es aber in SF2 nicht mehr zu geben oder irre ich mich da? Wenn ja, wie heißen denn in SF2 die stock Nummern für die Luftwaffe?

You should not make the soviet part in war against Japan smaller than it was in reality. The short soviet campaign in Manchuria and down to the 38th parallel annihilated a japanese army with 1 million soldiers. Without soviet invasion, this troops would have sent to japanese motherland and an american invasion on Japan in 1946 would have cost a lot of victims on US side. The defeat of the Kwantung Army was not unimportant. It saved a lot of US Boys.

Problem: ich habe die MiG-21bisD1-3 für WOX gemacht. Dazu hat mir Alejandro zwei neue lod Teile gebastelt, die ich per Fake Pilot Methode auf die originale MiG-21MF.lod gesetzt habe. Gab keine Schwierigkeiten, wie man hier sieht. Nun wollte ich das Ganze für SF2 machen und bekam das hier: Das hintere Teil Hat keine Probleme, während das vordere Teil mit Canards, Lufttanksonde und Finnen am Leitwerk, keine Bemalung hat. Es ist einfach nur weiß. Ich habe schon versucht die bmp Datei durch eine jpg auszutauschen, es hat aber nichts gebracht. Momentan stehe ich vor einem Rätsel. Hat jemand von Euch eine Idee?

Allah hu akbar cries does not help if a FAB250 is on the way. Duck and cover is much better.

Es soll sich um eine polnische MiG-29 handeln. Die F-16 kommt aus der Türkei. Ob die Maschinen die ganze Zeit dabei sein werden, oder nur für bestimmte Tage weiß ich nicht.

I JDAM costs approx 100.000$. 70 * 100.000 = 7 million. Nice price for a firework.
