With crash, do you mean crash to desktop or worse? Do you use a clean installation of the game or do you use mods?

Uruguay. I know it is fiction. They never had the Skyhawk. But i love their insignia.

Somewhere in South Atlantic 1982

After Falkland War were rumors, that the Soviet Union tried to sell MiG-23 to Argentina.

Brazilian Tigers

Is an modder working on the new russian FAB-3000?

Phantom F.3 alias F-4J (UK)

Me too.

Yea, the grey one is pretty cool.

I'm still on placing the TOD objects on the map. It's a boring job, progress is slow. Unexpected and very rare thing happend during a testflight. 40 mm Bofors Flak really hit a plane.

Vietnam is not really a big fan of China.

To be exactly it was air base Mary-2 (i would prefer to write it Marij, because it had nothing to do with the english girls name Mary). There is a second airbase at this town in Turkmenistan, which is called Mary-1. Mary-2 was the home of the soviet fighter town. The rule was, that the soviets sent entire frontline fighter and fighterbomber regiments (squadrons in western terms) to Mary-2. The regiments got the task to "fight" against the aggressors. This was an contrast to USN Top Gun school, where the task was to "make the best better". The soviets sent all their pilots in, not only the best ones. At the end of the turn, the results of both the individual pilots and the entire regiment were evaluated. I think the photo, which you posted, was taken during a Mary-2 trip of one of the soviet fighter bomber regiments.

This marking is a personal marking, not soviet Top Gun. I think it is from Afghanistan campaign or in the late days of Soviet Union. The soviet Top Gun marking looked so:

The skin of the MiG-21 was made mostly by different aluminium alloys. This alloys had a slightly differnd tendency to oxigation. Thatswhy different colors of "aluminium rost". In service the planes were always clean and polished, so had "rost" no chance.

I dont write Hoth, because i dont want to have troubles with Disney. I think, a Star Wars mod for SF2 would be a nice thing. Of course we can not have space battles, because the game engine cant handle it well, but a CAS or Strike scenario at the Iceplanet "Hoss" could be possible. Just for fun i started to made a 600 x 600 km all snow terrain with high mountains and flat areas and a fistfull bases. Some for the Rebell Alliance and some for the Imperial Forces. Since i have a Tie-Fighter on my harddrive, i want to have a X-Wing or Y-Wing as opponent. It would be nice if one of our modders could bring them to life. As long there are no X-Wings i use chinese MiG's as opponent. Screenshots: Attack on a Rebell Base was intercepted by Rebell forces, but the Imperial Tie-Fighters fought their way trough the defence.
