  1. I cant remember that missiles made this winding course in game. The first Sidewinders, but also the israeli Shafrir were heavyly winding while flying in reality, but unfortunatly not in the game.

  3. The Problem is, that Kabul is not at the correct location. Keep a little bit patience. When my Persian Gulf project is done i will do some rework on Afghanistan terrain. Promised! But the Gulf has first priority.
  4. I think you mean planes, not plaines If a plane does not appear in game you has done something wrong with the installation procedure. Make sure to place the birds in the correct folder (aircraft). Make sure that you has downloaded planes and not skins.
  5. Fighter with the most kills

    Yes the Me-109 was the top scorer. But on the side of the allied planes the Spitfire and the soviet Yak typs have much more kills than every american fighter plane. The brits and soviets had had much more chances to get in dogfight with enemy planes. Sure, a Mustang was an outstanding plane, but it has flown normaly 1 sortie a day. At the eastern front up to 8 or 10 sorties were not uncommon.
  6. Ein Gutes neues Jahr

    Ich schließe mich an!
  7. Afghanistan terrain is written for WOI, what means, that you need a WOI tileset. Desert tileset which is included in desert.cat will not work. Thatswhy black tiles.
  8. Scheiß Winter!

    Nachdem ich mich heute mit stolzen 30km/h geschlagene 117 Kilometer weit durch die idyllische Winterstraßenlandschaft gequält habe stelle ich mir die Frage: Wo bleibt denn diese globale Klimaerwärmung wenn man sie mal braucht! Und falls jemand von Behörden und Ämter diese Zeilen lesen sollte: Der Straßenwinterdienst war kein Teil des kommunistischen Unterdrückungsregimes im Osten Deutschlands! Hätte man also nicht abschaffen müssen!
  9. Scheiß Winter!

    Ich schätze mal beten und den selben Weg im Rückwärtsgang zurück. Wer nicht rückwärts fahren kann lernt das dann.
  10. You cant convert FE terrains into SF terrains. You can only convert SF into FE. If you try to convert from FE to SF you will see, that the game engine is unable to use the entire map. The coordinate system is warped in a strange way, so that airfields and targets are not at the locations were they should be. Its a pity, because i tried to convert my Vogesen terrain into SF and i failed. But you can import SF planes into FE and this is a great fun. The terrain resolution of 500x500 meters is much better than the usual 2000x2000 meters and so hedgehoping through mountainsides of the Vogesen is really fun! Screenshot shows a hedghoping ride over Vogesen terrain. With more then 1000kph though the valleys. Its the stock FE tileset. Then you can imagine how it looks with one of the photorealistic tilesets
  11. Generally spoken is "fake pilot" the adding of a new part. You say the game engine, that the new part is a pilot and is positioned at a certain position of the plane. You could download my F-16C Barak, and see how it is made. Its made with Fake pilot.
  12. After your post a looked into the file. Its the F-16B i have uploaded, but with an additional tailsection attached by fake pilot methode. Had not included it into the upload, because the fake pilot tail has no movable rudder.
  13. This is a reliable source. The data he gives are from 2.10.1990, also the last day of LSK/LV. In June 1989 the data were as i wrote in my post above. There were if i remember right 2 losses of L-39 and a MiG-23ML in 1990.
  14. Ace, astonished me a little bit. I have this F-16B Netz from combatace downloadsection.
  15. Scheiß Winter!

    Holly s.it!
  16. Vicefelwebel ranking above Feldwebel?

    You must be a little bit carefull with the term Flieger. Its the old german word for pilot. All flying personal was called Flieger. When a man was called a Flieger, it must not mean his military rank. Also v.Richthofen was a Flieger.
  17. Ehm, guys, the site Warsaw Pact Order of Battle - June 1989: http://www.scribd.co...attle-June-1989 is full of nonsense. I dont know where the knowledge comes, but its more a talesbook than a seriouse source. I tried to read this source. There are a lot of misspellings, like Weimer and Rudelstadt. Correct it must be Weimar and Rudolstadt. But this is not so important. More important are wrong data. For instance: GDR Air Force (LSK/LV) This is written in the source: 1. 1st Air Defense Division ­ Cottbus, GDR a. 4 Fighter Regiments: 45 MIG­29, 90 MIG­23, 45 MIG­21 (45 per regiment) b. 1 Fighter­Bomber Regiment: 30 MIG­27, 15 SU­25 c. 1 Recon Squadron: 18 MIG­21RF 2. 3rd Air Defense Division ­ Trollenhagen, GDR a. 2 Fighter Regiments: 45 MIG­23, 45 MIG­21 (45 per regiment) b. 1 Fighter­Bomber Regiment: 30 MIG­27, 15 SU­22 Correct would be: 1 sqd at Peenemünde 10 MiG-23MF 30 MiG-23ML (JG-9 H-Rau) 1 sqd Trollenhagen 40 MiG-21PFM/SPS (JG-2 J.Gagarin) 1 sqd at Holzdorf 40 MiG-21MF/SPS-K (JG-1 F.Schmenkel) 1 sqd at Preschen 12 MiG-21MF 20 MiG-29 (JG-3 W.Komarow) 1 sqd at Drewitz 50 MiG-21PFM/SPS (JG-7 W.Pieck deleted 23.10.89) 1 sqd at Marxwalde 41 MiG-21bis (JG-8 H.Matern) 1 sqd at Rothenburg 26 MiG-21SPS (FAG-15 H.Kapelle training unit) 1 sqd at Bautzen 49 L-39ZO (FAG-25 L.Ratz training unit) 1 sqd at Drewitz 18 MiG-23BN (JBG-37 K.Gottwald) 1 sdq at Laage 24 Su-22M4 (JBG-77 G.L.v.Blücher) 1 aqd at Laage 24 Su-22M4 (MFG-28 P.Wieczoreck Navy unit) As you see its completly different. No Su-25, no MiG-21RF, no MiG-27, number of MiG-23 and MiG-29 much to high. Number of MiG-21 much to low. Same with ground forces. In the source is said, that were enourmous numbers of BMP-2 in east german service. In reality there were only 30, because the USSR was not able and willing to sell this high capable vehicle. The source said that there were enourmos numbers of T-72 in east german service. In reality it were 549. 283 of outdated T-72 basic version, 130 T-72M (also outdated), 136 T-72M1 (modern) then there were around 500 modernized T-55AM-2 and 1500 outdated T-55.
  18. To ask the questions. 1. The terrain is made for first generation SFP1 WOX. 2. The size of the terrain is 1000x1000km in nearly 1:1 scale. 3. At the moment 87 target areas are set. 4. The greenish ground texture will be removed in the release version. I use it to find target areas more easily. the screenshot shows 3 airfields in Saudi Arabia and one oil storage facility.
  19. Scheiß Winter!

    Ist das ein M-113? Dann muß der Schnee ja fast 2 Meter hoch liegen!
  20. You asked for the tileset. At the moment i use the SFP1 stock tileset with some additional tiles, like roads. The salt swamps of Shatt el Arab are not set on the map. I think this area is to close to the edge of the map.
  21. Here the list of airbases which are set at the moment: Qatar [TargetArea001] Abu Nakhlah Airbase [TargetArea002] Name=Doha International Airport Bahrain [TargetArea003] Name=Sheikh Isa AB [TargetArea004] Name=Bahrein International SAUDI Arabia [TargetArea005] Name=King Abdul Aziz AB [TargetArea006] Name=King Fahd International [TargetArea007] Name=Ras Tanura [TargetArea008] Name=King Abdul Aziz Naval Base [TargetArea009] Name=Jubail [TargetArea010] Name=Abu Ali [TargetArea011] Name=Ras Tanujib [TargetArea012] Name=Ras Safanija [TargetArea013] Name=Ras Sumeira [TargetArea014] Name=Yas Island [TargetArea015] Name=Al Hamra UAE [TargetArea016] Name=Bateen [TargetArea017] Name=Abu Dhabi International [TargetArea018] Name=Al Dhafra [TargetArea019] Name=Abu Dhabi NorthEast [TargetArea020] Name=Dubai International [TargetArea021] Name=Shurja International [TargetArea022] Name=Minhad AB [TargetArea023] Name=Ras al Khaimah [TargetArea024] Name=Um al Quwain [TargetArea025] Name=Abu Musa Island [TargetArea026] Name=Siri Island IRAN [TargetArea027] Name=Bandar Abbas International [TargetArea028] Name=Havadarya [TargetArea029] Name=Qeshm [TargetArea030] Name=Dayrestan [TargetArea031] Name=Bandar Lengeh [TargetArea032] Name=Bastak [TargetArea033] Name=Kish Island [TargetArea034] Name=Lavan Island [TargetArea035] Name=Lamerd [TargetArea036] Name=Asaloyeh [TargetArea037] Name=Tohid [TargetArea038] Name=Busher [TargetArea039] Name=Khark Island [TargetArea040] Name=Bahregan [TargetArea041] Name=Gorreh [TargetArea042] Name=Mahshar [TargetArea043] Name=Mullahrot
  22. NORAD tracks Santa

    Since the 50th NORAD is every X-Mas tracking Santas tour around the world. If you want to know where Santa Clause is at the moment look at this page: http://www.noradsanta.org Merry X-Mas to all!
  23. Vicefelwebel ranking above Feldwebel?

    Seems to be, that there were really Gefreite as pilots. Astonished me a little bit. That gunners etc were from soldiers ranks ... okay, but pilots? Maybe then i have learned something new again. While research a little bit i found that in the early times the observers/navigators in a 2 seater plane were higher ranking than the pilots. In slang they were called Emil (pilot) and Franz (observer/navigator). When in WW1 a plane by observers/navigators error lost the orientation then it was said "Das Flugzeug hat sich verfranzt." From this a german proverb comes: "Ich hab mich verfranzt." What means "I've lost the orientation." Its used up today.
  24. Vicefelwebel ranking above Feldwebel?

    As german native speeker i must say the link Paarma found (aerosomthing) is murx in german or rubbish in english language. In german air forces, as i said above, were two lines of pilots. Pilots in sergeants rank and pilots in officers rank. There were no pilots in soldiers ranks (as far as i know) What mean the ranks Flieger and Gefreiter are not existing in the flying personal, but available at the ground crews. When an officer from an other unit (cavallery for example) moved to the Fliegertruppe he startet with his officer rank (von Richthofen is such an example). Seargents startet with a sergeant rank and could promote to the highest Seargents rank or could switch to the officers carrier. This is what Paarma correctly found on Udet. He started as Seargent and then switched to officer carrier. If he would have stayed in the sergeants carrier he would have promoted to Feldwebel. An Vicefeldwebel or Vizefeldwebel is always below the Feldwebel. The Feldwebel is the 3 step in sergeants carrier. You start with Unteroffizier, will become Vicefeldwebel (Unterfeldwebel[east germany] Stabsunteroffizier [west germany]) and then Feldwebel. Simple trick for reminding: a ViceAdmiral is always lower in rank as an Admiral. My fault was to declare the Offiziersstellvertreter as Chef Master Sergeant. This is wrong. Offiziersstellvertreter is no rank its a Dienststellung (duty position? hope this is the correct translation) and was not connected with a rank. What means, that all Sergeants could be Offiziersstellvertreter. Normally 1 or 2 Sergeants of a Kompanie/Staffel were Offiziersstellvertreter. Other designations in soldiers slang are "Spieß" or "Stiefmutter der Kompanie". In the east german army we had a similar system. One of the seargents was "Hauptfeldwebel", but his rank was Feldwebel. He was the Deputy of the Officers.
  25. Scheiß Winter!

    Da freut sich jeder, der eine Garage hat. Okay, war ein bisschen Schadenfreude dabei. Mea Culpa. Hat mich übrigens an diese uralte Karikatur erinnert.
