Airfield_SLB kurz in BoB terrain lenght 500 meters

Found a great site about the east german air force LSK. Interessting are gun camera footages of the Su-22 against ship targets http://home.snafu.de/veith/mfg-28.htm and also a gun camera sequenze of MiG-29 HUD while using unguided missiles against mock F-4

About the subject "popularity" of the Starfighter in Europe: The F-104G was called "Witwenmacher" by the german pilots,"Widowmaker". And they meant their own wifes, not the wifes of the opponent.

Its a typical idea of politicians and "good humans". Or to say it with the words of Michael Crichton "Good intentions and to small knowledge are a very dangerous combination."

Not yet in service and i doubt that it will.

Klasse! Danke.

Weiß jemand von euch eine gute Quelle über die Bewaffnungsvarianten der Mirage2000C. Ich glaube ich habe meinen 2000C1 mod ein klein wenig zu viele Raketen drangehängt und will nun checken was die 2000C1 tatsächlich mit sich rumschleppt.

File Name: F-31G Wirbelwind File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 25 January 2010 File Category: Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's F-31G Wirbelwind for SFP1,WOE,WOV,WOI ==================================== I. This is my mod of Dels F-31A MustangII for use in the first generation sims SFP1,WOE,WOI,WOV II. I decided to make a german bird (thatswhy G for Germany), because the X-31 project was mostly financed by the germans. I also decided to make a more real life combat airplane instead of a test bird. So i switched of the Trust Vector plates and deleted a lot of ammo capabilities, reduced the thrust of the engine. Changed the afterburner emitter. Made some small changes in Flightmodel. I also choosed the F-15 cockpit which is standard in WOE and WOI. Some changes were neccessary because some features not worled properly in WOE, WOI, SFP1. III. All credits belongs to Dels who made this fantastic bird or SFP2 IV This mod is Freeware. Commercial use is NOT ALLOWED. I hope you enjoy this mod. Michael (Gepard) Made in Germany Januar 2010 below the original ReadMe file: -------------------------------------------------------- ROCKWELL/MBB F-31A MUSTANG II Ver 1.0 -------------------------------------------------------- By Dels Dated 25th January 2010 ******************************************************** MAY BE USED IAW COMBATACE FREEWARE LICENSING POLICY http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=26131 ******************************************************** DISCLAIMER ---------- This is a third party add on of the F-31A using a model and cockpit created by me. It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games. VERSION NOTES ------------- I have created this F-31A as if it went into production and service during the 90's. So it is the F-31A (not X-31) and the skin is for the 421st TFS, 388th TFW 'Black Widows' based at Hill AFB. The X-31 had no official or un-official nickname so I gave it the name "Mustang II". If you don't like it, feel free to change the AircraftFullName= in the F-31A.ini file. The cockpit of the X-31 was a little too ancient, so I modified my F-23A cockpit for this F-31A. This is also what I would expect from an aircraft of the mid 90's. The cockpit has visible pilot legs which were loaned to me by Klavs81, so all the credit to him for those. I have taken a bit of artistic licence as not a whole lot of information was available on the aircraft. In addition to wing and centerline drop tanks, I have also included a special F-31 Dual Rail Adapter (DRA) for use with IRM's and AHM's. INSTALLATION ------------ Very simple, extract the files from the archive to your C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 folder. Next, You will need to add the following to your Squadronlist.ini file which should be in your Flight AND Pilot Data folders. This is so the Unit Names show up. (*NOTE* This is not essential). Make sure the XXX is replaced with the next number in sequence in your file: [squadronXXX] Name=421FS DisplayName=421st TFS Black Widows Nation=USAF *NOTE* If you do not have a Squadronlist.ini file in your Flight folder you will need to extract it from the MissionData001.CAT file in your Flight folder using the CatPack utility. That's it. You will need Diego's MODUSAF pilot skin for the pilot, or you can use whatever skin you like by editing the F-31A_Data.ini file. REMOVAL ------- Reverse the above steps. CREDITS ------- Aircraft Model/Skins/Decals, Flare/Weapon positions, FM and Performance figures, Hangar/Loading/Loadout screens, and Lighting positions -All me!!! Cockpit Model and Skins -Also all me!!! Klavs81 - Pilot legs in the cockpit Pilot Skins - Diego THANKS ------ Thanks to all on the forum for their continuing and always useful support. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had making it. Dels Click here to download this file

Same info i got here in Germany. The test pilots had a problem with one of the engines. To solve this problem they would have had to switch of this engine and restart. But in the case that the engine wont restart they would have had to land with a stopped propeller and this would have been interpreted as an obviously failure by the public. So the test pilots decided to let the engine run.

The NATO reporting names were launched because the original soviet designation of weapons was very often not known. If the type name of weapons were well known the NATO reporting names were not widely used. For example: the NATO reporting name of the T-72 tank was Tiger, but nobody used it. I think it is the same with the J-10. i guess it has a NATO reporting name, but this name is widely unkown.

No loss for the mankind.

File Name: Mirage 2000C1 File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 24 January 2010 File Category: Mirage and Kfir Mirage2000C1 France ***************** version1.1 In the first version the ammo capability of my Mirage2000C1 was a little bit overrated. Sorry, my fault. Now i have corrected the loadout of this bird. The Matra Super530 semi active missiles are not longer available for the fuselage weapon stations. Now you can load 2 of them under the inner wing stations. Laser guided Bombs now can be carried under the wing and under the fuselage. 2 AS-30L laser guided missiles can be armed under the wings. One Martel Anti Radar Missile is possible at the centerline station. Also i have reduced the gun ammo from 150 to 125 rounds per gun. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. This is a mod of Erwin_Hans Taiwanese Mirage2000-5. When the Mirage 2000 came to the squadrons the first 37 jets still had the weaker engine M53-5, the originally only for export intended radar RDM and no air refuel probe. From the 38. jet they got the more powerfull RDI radar and the M53-P2 engine. This mod represent the first version of the french Mirage-2000C, called Mirage 2000C1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. Changes: - weaker engine to represent the M53-5 - other Radar and weaker avionics - i use the F-15A cockpit which is the closest available to the Mirage2000 cockpit - new skin - changes in the Flightmodel to overcome the tendency to overroll and by using the autopilot to overpitch while landing approach +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III. CREDITS: I want to say thank you to Erwin_Hans for the permission to mod his Mirage2000-5. The original 3D Model was made by aleks The flight Model was done by IAFmars and YEYEYE and Erwin_hans ---------------------------------------------------------- IV. INSTALLATION: -Unzip all files into your objects/aircraft folder. -For the case that you have no weaponpack you will find all Mirage2000C1 weapons in the included Weapons folder. To install follow the instructions in the readme there. ---------------------------------------------------------- V. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM.

File Name: J-7FM Fishtail B File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 23 January 2010 File Category: Chinese Aircraft J-7FM Fishtail-B ************* ---------------------------------------------------------- I. This is a "What if" plane. It represent the fictive chinese copy of the fictive soviet fighter plane MiG-23F, without the typical E-8 canards. A similar plane was intended by the PLAAF under the designation J-7MF. It was a back up development for the J-10, but never came to prototype status, because the J-10 proved good. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. CREDITS: I want to say thank you to a lot of guys who helped me with files, ideas and hints. First of all i want to say thank you to Ricardo Batalha whos MiG-21 gmax file was the basic for this bird. Thanks to EricGen, Amokfloo, Blackbird, Wrench ... for their hints and ideas. A big thanks to Paladrian for the Cockpit. And again a big thank you to TK for the MiG-21 flight modell that i modded to make this bird. ---------------------------------------------------------- IV.

I dont think so that FOD would be a problem. The nose gear is to close to the air intake, that i guess that a stone or dirt from the runway would not find its wa into the intake.

Suez 2 terrain is originally made by me in a time when the in the ground sunken objects still were no problem. To solve it: 1. open file Suez2_data.ini 2. look for line HeightMapScale=10.000000 replace with HeightMapScale=1.000000 Should work, but the terrain will not more as hilly as before.

In the file environment.ini i found the lines: [Gravity] Acceleration=9.81 ForceVector=0.0,0.0,-1.0 Does it mean, that if i set Acceleration=0 i can make a space sim? Opens this horizons for a X-Wing mod or a Klingon vs Starfleet mod?

I tested the installation procedure for my Paula again with SFP1, WOE, WOE and it runs fine. If you extract file Mi-24P Paula.rar you get a folder with name Mi-24P Paula In this is a Subfolder with the name Mi-24P Paula in this you find 3 Folders 1. Mi-24P 2. Sounds 3. Weapons. Move the folder Mi-24P into your aircraft folder. Then you need the file Mi24P-R0D.LOD which you get from Capuns homepage. Without this file you will see no heli, but only the armament without enithing else. Thats it. Mi-24P Paula is made for 1.st generation Sim. If the skin files would be corrupted you would see a white Helicopter.

Found the links below. They are part of the movie "Der Flieger", but if you look carefully you see strenght and weakness of the WP system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_QbYZKvHfs&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zhUwaq2L88

Unfortunatly it is not available.

Yeah,the Fang was a nice bird. Unfortunatly it came never in the air. It would have been a better choise than the Starfighter. By the way, the Starfighter is in game the most overmodelled plane.
