Gepard

I have tried this with Kuznetzov and Liaoning: I modded the starting and the end position of catapult-run so, that the end point is higher than the starting point. ( The last value in the column, the Z coordinate) [Cat1] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=1 StartPosition=18.04,70.12,13.94 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< start point height 13,94m EndPosition= 5.10,176.40,21.97 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<end point height 21,97m LaunchTime=3 The result in game looks so: starting position on Liaoning carrier when activate autopilot the plane jumps into the air and then jumps over the ramp (okay more or less, the end value is set a little bit to low) If i set the end point at the same high than the starting point the result looks so: Both is not satisfying, but i see no other way to simulate a ramp start. If you want to see how the "jump over the ramp" take off works try my Liaoning carrier.

No it isn't. Either through the ramp or jumping in the air. Other options we dont have. Unfortunatly.

1982. When the cruiser General Belgrano was sunk by a british submarine, the Soviets offered modified Tu-128B bombers to Argentina. It were outphased Tu-128A fighters, fitted with bomb sight and multiple bomb racks. They were delivered in few weeks, so that the Argentinians were able to hit the british beach heads at the Malvians/Falklands with carpet bombing.

Gabilons low poly Tunguska with a new skin. I must adjust the skin for the tracks and i think the antenna looks different in reality.

The pilots were trained for such actions. In the so called "Luftzielschießzone 1" (air shooting area) it was common to shot on flares which hung under parachutes. The closing speed was fast and to avoid a collision the MiG drivers had to act very fast. BTW. While a night training, the flares on parachutes were misidentified by western tourists as "alien spaceships"

New toy for Argentina.

The blowback speed is used for flaps. It is the speed when the air resistance is big enough to "blow" the flap back to the starting position.

Ups, shit happens. Shot down by the own bomb. But it was worth the effort.

View File Flakpanzer Gepard Flakpanzer Gepard for Ukraine terrain ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. The Gepard Flakpanzer is a mobile gunsystem intended to escort and defend tank units. In this role it is outdated today. But it is still very usefull as point defence weaponsystem against cruise missiles and drones. In 2022 Germany handed over already stored Gepard Flakpanzer to the Ukraine. In this mode the Gepard Flakpanzer is available only for the Ukraine from 2022 and for Brazil from 2014. This Gepard mod is made for older and slower computers. It use Gabilons old and small LOD file from 2005. I made a new skin to give it a good look. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

To use missiles, which costs 440.000 US$, to shot down a weather balloon, which costs 12 US$, is a waste of money. When the Americans sent hundreds of ballons from Westgermany to the east in the 1950th, 60th and 70th we used the guns of the fighters to down them. This worked very well, was a good training for the pilots and it was cheap.

To work with tga files you need a paint program which can handle it. I use a very old PaitshopPro.

Only an idea for a very interesting plane project Sukhoi T-4MS aka Izdeliye 200 for a supersonic swingwing stealthy heavy bomber. Something to the background: https://testpilot.ru/russia/sukhoi/t/4/ms/t4ms_e.htm

I think our sushi is smoking!

Montevideo next step:

Its better then the proverb: " An old woman is still an old woman even if you buy her a new dress. "

I took Gabilons low poly Flakpanzer Gepard LOD and gave it a new skin. Its astonishing how a good skin can change the look of a LOD with only 86 kB size.

Kaluga is a town south west of Moscow. In the picture of HurrySkurry the planes are named Ryasan and Saratov. Both are names of towns.

Maverik style fly by.

Next development step Montevideo Airport: It has grown up a little bit.

This would end in a nuclear nightmare in worst case.

We have only entries for Cruise, Mil and Afterburn. A forth value is missing. Maybe i'm wrong, but i dont see a way.
