Its typical if you starts a search the thing that you are looking for is nearly the last you get into the hand. My search starts in the air magazin Fliegerrevue 1/80 and the article i was looking for was in 3/88. Okay, what i have found out. The markings of the german bombers was a two digit code before and a two digit code after the barcross. The first two digits was the designation code of the Geschwader. This code consist of letter and number. The two digits after the cross were letters. The first letter was the "Flugzeugkennbuchstabe" aircraftdesignationletter. This letter had different colors. White for the 1.Staffel of a Gruppe, Red for the 2.Staffel of a Gruppe, Yellow for the 3.Staffel of a Gruppe. The letter itself designates the number of the plane in a Staffel A = first plane B= second plane C= third plane and so on The last letter gave the position of the plane in a Geschwader. A=Geschwaderstab B=Stab I. Gruppe C= Stab II.Gruppe D= Stab III.Gruppe F= Stab IV. Gruppe G= Stab V. Gruppe H= 1.Staffel K= 2.Staffel L= 3.Staffel M= 4.Staffel N= 5.Staffel P=6.Staffel R=7.Staffel S=8.Staffel T=9.Staffel U=10.Staffel V=11.Staffel W=12.Staffel X=13.Staffel Y=14.Staffel Z=15.Staffel Q=16.Staffel J=17.Staffel O=18.Staffel E=19.Staffel I=20.Staffel As an Example 9K+CP (red C) means 9K = KG51 red C = 3.plane of the 2.Staffel of the Gruppe P= 6.Staffel Fighters: planes of a Staffel have the numbers 1 to 12 1., 4. and 7. Staffel have white numbers 2.,5. and 8. Staffel have red numbers 3.,6. and 9.Staffel have yellow numbers First Gruppe of a Geschwader have no sign Second Gruppe of a Geschwader have a horizinal bar after the cross Third Gruppe of a Geschwader has a vertical bar after the cross.(sometime a ~ Symbol) Leaders of a Gruppe have a < symbol before the cross. I hope this will help

Su-34 no, Rafale yes

At the moment i'm planing only for a 1960 campaign. The reason is the terrain. To make it compatible for modern times it would cost me a lot of time, which i not have at the moment. Below you find a first attempt of a readme for campaign and terrain: Campaign France vs UK 1960 ======================= Campaign and terrain are made for WOE. They are compatible with SFP1,WOV,WOI This campaign is made for stock aircrafts. You need the HunterFGA9 from WOE B-57B from WOE Super MystereB2 from WOI MirageIIIC from WOI VautourIIA from WOI The basic terrain is a moded version of my old Battle of Britain terrain. The terrain is writen now for WOE ****************************************************** INSTALLATION: Unzip Battle of Britain 60 into your Terrain folder Unzip France vs UK into your Campaigns folder Unzip Boforsflak into your Groundobjects folder Thats it. --------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOI,WOV and SFP1 For WOI open file Battle of Britain 60.ini with notepad editor overwrite line CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat with CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat For WOV open file Battle of Britain 60.ini with notepad editor overwrite line CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat with CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat For SFP1 open file Battle of Britain 60.ini with notepad editor overwrite line CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat with CatFile=..\desert\Idesert.cat ****************************************************** Campaign, Terrain and related files are FREEWARE.

BND? MAD. Aber ich denke mal das Bild war eher auf dem Tisch der HVA als in Bonn. Tolles Maschinchen und tolle Bemalung.

I made a quick mod of my Battle of Britain terrain and tested it in the last hour. Looks promissing. I also made a small campaign for test reasons. Hunters and Canberras vs Mysteres, F-100D and Vautours. Its fun, but far away to be completed. Time set 1962. Lets see.

You want a story line. Okay, here is my: 1960. Reelections for the House of Commons in 3 southenglish counties. To increase the chances of the candidates of his party the british Primeminister decided to support the brithish Wine Industry which is located in south England ;-). He decided to stop all imports of french wine, following the rule "Buy British!". So London dockers toppled barrels of french wine into the river Thames. (All London fisherman catched in the next days very happy fishes.) But the french President is furrious about this affrond. He decided to stop all imports of british cheese, following the rule "Only french cheese is good cheese." French dockers attempt now to feed french pigs with british cheese, but the pigs denied to eat it. What a shame for Britain. Now the Primeminister declared the war to defend the british cheese, wine and proud against the french frogfeeteaters.

Takeoffhead = Position where the AI planes start on the one end of the runway Takeofftail = Position where the AI planes start on the other end of the runway Taxihead = Position of the single planes during waiting on taxiway on one end Taxitail = vice versa

Dont buy parts of the Berlin Wall in Berlin. 99% of them are fake! You can do it yourself. Take a little bit concrete and a little bit color spray. So up today the Wall pieces are made.

Interessant ist, was die Gegenseite über die 104G dachte. In einem DHS Heft, (ich glaube über die MiG-21PF,SPS,SPS-K) ist das taktische Denken der NVA bezüglich der Abwehr von Starfighter Angriffen festgehalten. Die F-104G wurde als gefährlicher Gegner angesehen, den man im Vorfeld, d-h. noch außerhalb des eigenen Radarschirms abfangen und bekämpfen wollte.

Found a cool russian propaganda video MiG-21 vs Phantom

Das ist richtig. Auch die ersten Versionen der MiG-21 fielen vom Himmel wie die Fliegen, aber der Starfighter war im Flugverhalten ein Biest. Die 104G war einfach überzüchtet, so in etwa wie ein Trabi mit VW Motor.

I think i have everywhere something about this subject. It is in an old german air magazin from the 80th. Will try to find it.

The campaign is released. Now i will move to improve Afghanistan terrain. The Kandahar region is done so far. Now will follow Masar i Sharif area. I hope till Xmas it will be finished.

The KH-23 was not used in the east german MiG-23 fighter units. Also the MiG-23BN fighter bombers used it very seldom. It was an unreliable missile with a very poor hit rate. I remember that one pilot said, that you must train the firing of the KH-23 some 100 times before you can really hit something.

It happend during my military time. And we thank god that it ended as harmless as it came. The opening of the Berlin Wall was an accident. This is not widely known outside Germany. During a press conference the berlinian Partychief announced a new travel law and told by the way, that the citicens of the GDR could now travel freely, but forgot to say, that the start of this law was set to the next day. But the most dangerous thing was that nobody told it to the border forces. The soldiers on the GÜST (Border control stations = Checkpoints)and the border patrols knew nothing about this subject. They guys on the "frontline" were surprised, when citicens came close to the checkpoints. While the people crouwded in front of the GÜST the american, french and british forces in West Berlin went to high alert status. And the soviets? The were still celebrating their great socialist october revolution. And who has seen russians celebrating, know what it means: Vodka, Vodka, Vodka. The most astonishing thing that happend was that nobody of the east german armed forces lost his head and opend the fire. And i think we all can be happy that it came so. If not ... I dont want to think about what could have been if only one single shot .... One day later i was sent into an ammo bunker to fill Kalaschnikow magazines. And the air smelled like chinese solution. It was god damn close to a military strike to suppress the cvil rights movement. The officers told us that they favored Pinochets way. ..... I dont want to think about how it could have been ended.

Das Ding hieß nicht umsonst Witwenmacher. Es ist das typische Beispiel wie mit viel Geld ein mieses Produkt an den Kunden gebracht wurde. Die Luftwaffe wäre mit der Mirage weitaus besser dran gewesen oder mit der F-5 Tiger. Irgendwie habe ich das dumpfe Gefühl, daß die Luftwaffe seit der Starfighter Affäre stets das falsche Flugzeug eingekauft hat. Weil der Starfighter nichts taugte beschaffte man die F-4F. Poor man aircraft nannte man dieses Biest (Arme Leute Flugzeug). Hätte man noch ein paar Jahre gewartet hätte man die MirageF1 oder die F-16A beschaffen können. Seit Ende der 80er bastelt man am Eurofighter. Für das Geld hätte man vom Russen jede Menge MiG-29 oder vom Ami die F-18 beschaffen können. Der Transporter A-400M ist ein Trauerspiel und vom Tiger will ich gar nicht reden. Wie sagte schon mein Zugführer bei der Fahne: "Man kann gar nicht soviel fressen wie man kotzen möchte!"

The MiG-29S came later. This is the mod fitted for the R-77 (AA-12 Adder) missile. I think you mean the MiG-29 (isdelije 9.13) Nato Code Fulcrum C, the one with biger tank in the back and internal jammer.

In a very very old east german book (mid 70th printed) was to read, that the Tu-28 was a true and outstanding medium range bomber. Today we know that this was nonsense, but would be a nice idea to make this beast to a bomb carrier. Nice job Enrico! Well done.

To your questions: 1.)I use the new EAW.ini 2.)No compatibly mode. 3.) Some Entries in the registry i have found 4.) In the graphics setting i dont use Glide. The setting is Direct3D 5.) No addons. But i think: I can live with this small problem. I know how to overcome. It remembers me a little bit on an 20 years old story. During my military time i had an airlift flight with a soviet IL-76. Under one of the oilpipes hung a tin and during flight the oil dropped in the tin. As we asked the pilots wheter this is dangerous, they answered: "Oh no.We know the problem. After the landing we fill the oil back in the oiltank."

My system: Windows XP ServicePack3 Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Prozessor Radeon X850 Grafikkarte 2GB RAM Speicher Either if i finish with ALT+Q or finish with EXIT on Menu screen i have this problem.

Yeah, my old love EAW is back on my computer. Its a great thing! The installation was a little bit tricky, because the first in the README descriped way to installation failed for me. I got the error message, that something was wrong with a file called runway.dat. Thatswhy i used the second dscriped way and it worked fine for me. The game itself runs stable and fine. I love it! A problem i have is if i close the game and try to restart it later the game wont start. I must press ctrl+alt-del (STRG+ALT+ENTF in german) and the delete the processe eaw.exe. Then i can restart successfully. The other problem is the old one with the mission briefing screen. By the way, how can i get back the german labeling in the menu screens?
