45 Offiziell ist es ein Unfall gewesen. Von einer Dienstwaffe erschossen heißt es.

You can set groundobjects at a terrain as part of the terrain, this is terrain modding. Or you can create a scripted single mission. I think you want to make the later one. Then you dont need editing the terrain. Editing of a terrain will be permanent, what means, that the SAM battery is always at their position. For scripted single missions you can place SAM batteries at free will and they will only appear in that single scripted mission. This are the lines for a scripted mission i made for testing the Su-22M4 in SEAD mod. You will face 4 mobile SAM batteries (Roland, Chaparall and Flakpanzer Gepard) [MissionHeader] AircraftType=Su-22M4 MissionMap=GermanyCE MissionType=SEAD StartTime=15:30:00 StartDate=06/18/1985 [MissionData] FriendlyAirActivity=1 EnemyAirActivity=1 PlayerMissionID=1 PlayerPositionID=1 MissionNumber=0815 AdjustStartPosition=FALSE AdjustBaseWaypoint=TRUE [Weather] WeatherType=SCATTERED WeatherAlt=4000.0 WeatherThickness=500.0 FogAmount=0.6 ContrailAlt=8000.0 StartWindDirection=180 StartWindSpeed=17.57222 WindGustingAmount=25.57222 [AircraftMission001] AircraftType=Su-22M4 Name=TOMAHAWK FormationType=SovietFighter Size=4 RandomChance=100 MissionType=SEAD ObjectiveID=2 RatingForSuccess=50 Position=412256.0,488390.0,3000 Heading=180.0 Speed=300.0 Alignment=ENEMY StartOnGround=0 Nation=Soviet TextureSet=001 AircraftNumber=10 [GroundMission001] GroundObjectType=mroland Name=Marder Roland FormationType=SOVIET Size=4 RandomChance=100 Alignment=FRIENDLY Heading=0.0 Speed=10 Position=412256.0,477390.0,0.0 [GroundMission002] GroundObjectType=ChaparralL Name=Chaparral FormationType=SOVIET Size=4 RandomChance=100 Alignment=FRIENDLY Heading=0.0 Speed=10 Position=413256.0,477390.0,0.0 [GroundMission003] GroundObjectType=Gepard Name=Gepard FormationType=SOVIET Size=4 RandomChance=100 Alignment=FRIENDLY Heading=0.0 Speed=10 Position=411256.0,477390.0,0.0

File Name: Tu-22M3P EscortBackfire File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 14 December 2010 File Category: Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's Tu-22M3P EscortBackfire ************************************* HISTORY ************************************* This bird is fiction. First i saw such a plane in the very old computer game Harpoon. In some scenarios the Tu-22M3 bombers were escorted by a fighter version of the Backfire which was armed with long range missiles and a MiG-31 style radar. When HoneyFox released his excellent Tu-22M3 bomber i remembered the old Harpoon Story and modded the Backfire into a Fighter. Have fun! ********************************************** Tu-22M3P for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits ********************************************** While making the EscortBackfire i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files! The plane itself: ~~~~~~~~~~ Modell and skin by HoneyFox Thanks for permission to make this mod. The Cockpit is taken from fabulous B-1B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cockpit by Dels And finally my little share ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I edited the Data file to implement the air to air missiles, added the ECM and Chaffs etc, modded the radar and HUD. I hope that i havent forgotten someone to give the proper credit. ********************************************** INSTALLATION ********************************************** unzip into your aircraft folder Thats it! Enjoy flying. ************************************************ For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM. Hope you enjoy it.

Its part of Wings over Israel, Wings over Europe

I dont know why people are so excited. Its a normal thing that planes attempt to recon something. The US and NATO birds are doing the same if russian surface groups are on excercise.

I said edit the file, not use the in-game control menu. Make it by hand with notepad editor and it will work.

You can use the unjam function, but you must also modify the flightcontrol ini by hand. Include following line for instance and save the file UNJAM_GUN=SHIFT+JOYSTICK01_BUTTON03 But strangely it does not work all times.

Thats a good question! On german language i would answer with the proverb: "Was nun sprach Zeus, die Götter sind besoffen!" What means: I dont know.

True, but autotiling set the tile depending from the height data. For example lets say from 1 meter to 500 meters height is all set as farmland, from 501 to 1500 is set as wood, from 1501 to 2500 is set as mountain, from 2501 to 9999 is set as snow. But this covers the entire terrain. If you autotile then you get farmland and wood in Germany, Italy and in the north african desert. What means, that you would have to to retiling entire Northafrica and larger parts of Italy by hand. And this is a very time consuming job.

I'm buzy with Persian Gulf at the moment. Sorry. Personally i think it would be a very challenging task to tile this terrain. You need a mix between European, mediterranien and desert tiles. Wheter it would be possible to autotile this big variety is the question. If you cant autotile, you must tile it by hand. Sound not as good.

Either you buy SF2 or you use the old L-39ZA which is available in downloadsection (cold war planes/trainers)

PF had no guns. Gunpod came with PFM. Make sure that you has the mig-21 pack for first generation sims, not SF2. SF2 models can cause the problem you descriped, when use in WOX or SFP1

The best dog fighter? A cat! Ask Garfield!

The Albatros was designed as a training bird, not as a combat aircraft. Main focus was safety, reliability and cost efficency. Its a good buy.

For the MiG-29 project 3 different design concepts were tested. The first was a twin engine MiG-23 look a like with no swing wings and F-15 style air intakes ( the first in the row of lindrs drawings) Then was a design which reminds on the later Yak-41 (second in row) And finally the lifting body concept, which later became the MiG-29. project 9-11 was a MiG-29 body with MiG-23 avionics for export. Was cancelled because it was impossible to fit the MiG-23 radar in the MiG-29 body. 9-12 was full development. 9-12A was export WP, 9-12B was export rest of the world.

For the first series sims the Mirage2000 and the F-16C are available. They still need a SF2 conversation.

MiG-21F Pilots told me, that the small windows at the rear werent really usefull. Thatswhy the czech had deleted them on their MiG-21F13. I think Lindr2s version is more realistic. As suggestion, perhaps it would be possible to add the dogtooth at the wingroots, as it was used in MiG-27M or MiG-23MLD. Should make the bird more agile and slower at carrier approach.

Something to laugh about. Heroic south korean politician shows the world dangerous NK artillery shells. Stupid if its found out that the shells were only thermos. Or does NK has to much of it, so that it shot thermos at SK. http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2010/12/01/thermos-flap-puts-politician-in-hot-water/

You had already had a president who was politically uncorrect enough to send US troops in the Iraq. The result is well known. In contrary to the flat and nearly defenceless Iraq NK is a mountain nightmare with nukes. Here is brain needed and not stupid muscles. Smart political pressure on Beijing is surely more efficent than sending carrier battle groups in the yellow sea.

Es gibt heutzutage in großen Teilen der deutschen Bevölkerung (wieso sagt man eigentlich nicht mehr Volk?) ein tiefverwurzeltes "Gutmenschentum" und wenn man etwas sagt, was gegen den Gutmenschenmainstream verstößt wird man gleich zum Nazi abgestempelt. Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern wie ich an der Uni als Mörder beschimpft worden bin, nur weil ich offen dazu gestanden habe, daß mir der Wehrdienst im Großen und Ganzen gefallen hat. Zuerst gab es komische blicke, dann das übliche "Soldaten sind Mörder" Gequatsche. Und das tolle an der Sache ist, das einer meiner Kommilitonen von damals ein paar Jahre später für die Grünen im Bundestag saß und fein fleißig die Flosse hob wenn es darum ging Soldaten in den Krieg zu schicken. Ich habe ihm, als wir uns vor ein paar Jahren zufällig wiedersahen, ein "Politiker, die Soldaten in den Krieg schicken, sind Mörder" an den Kopf geworfen, worauf er mir erzählt hat, daß die Bundewehr in Afghanistan ja keinen Krieg führt sondern Brunnen bohrt und Mädchenschulen baut. Na Klar! und ich ziehe mir die Hose mit ner Kneifzange an!

Its a real loss for mankind. Thanks for all the funny hours, Leslie.

Depends how the NK are fortified. I think they will follow the proofen way and have their ari in the bunker caves. Rolling out only for firing, then back into safety, reloading and start the same again. So they are vulnerable only for some seconds. Makes very difficult to hit for SK. NK did it already in Korea war and the vietnamese Viet Minh fought on this way against the french in Dien Bien Phu.

True, if they would have firefinder radar. I'm not sure that NK has this level of technology. They will have optical instruments. But with spyglasses you only see that there is someone shooting, but not the direction of fire, not at a distance of 13 km. That they have no fire finder radar show the result of NK ari fire. More than 200 shells, but only 80 hit the opposing island. Thats not impressive. Lets make a mind experiment. Lets say, you are the NK commander. You are under permanent propaganda, that the SK are the bad and war mongers. You detect the smoke of enemy artillery. You know if the SK hit a target in NK you will be punished if you not act promptly. What are you doing? (This is not written do defend NK. Its written as an attempt to understand whats happen and why, far away from propaganda from NK and SK.)

Inspired by the very very very old game "Harpoon", the fighter version of the Backfire.

Of course its a sad moment when planes and ships are scrapped. So it is all around the world. I can remember how sad my feelings were when i had to hand over my good old Kaschi assault rifle for scrapping in the days of change 1990, or our birds went into the scrapyards. The same feelings soldiers all around the world can share and understand. But if its time to say good bye, then it is time. Something new will come. It surely will not be the same old love, it will be different. What mean: Keep a stiff upper lip, look forward and not back.
