Air combat training at RAF Alconbury Airbase. F-4F vs Lightning.

Somewhere over the Ukraine,

L-39ZA Albatros BTW. The armament with R-3S (AA-2 Atoll) was rather a joke then a real option. The L-39 was to slow to reach the minimum lauch speed of the Atoll. Only in dive the speed could be reached. Thatswhy this armament was tactical nonsense.

Somewhere in the Ukraine.

3digit tactical numbers are rare in Russia, because the number is connected with the unit, the Fighter Wing. Thatswhy 2digit numbers, but no 00 and no 13. 00 is the toilet and 13 is bad luck. 3digit numbers are only for prototypes or for big units, like training units.

Try this: Open the file IraqWA.ini with notepad editor look for line CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat change it into: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat save the file hopefully it will work

One step by the other. First i must finish my book project. Then i will do some work on Rio de la Plata Bay terrain. What i would need is a picture of a typical argentinian village house, so that i can rework the TOD houses on the map. Then i need the information, wheter there are palm trees in the area. If no then i must change it too.

Squadron ready for take off.

Nice i love it. With the green tileset it would be possible to maked a seasoned terrain. One for dry and one wet weather periode.

Is their a chance, that we could see the Lavi in the download someday? Mandatory screenshot: PZL-230F Little Scorpion. Polish project of a low cost ground attack aircraft.

This is the typical trail and error. I would use 0.1 as step. Then save the file. Start the game and check how much the position has changed. Then you may guess how big the next step must be. Make the steps not to big, but also not to small. 0.01 would means to move the position by only 1 centimeter or in other words 0.01 meter.

Only a thought, i had while i was watching Top Gun Maverick last weekend. Why not making a terrain mod with a deep valley, which is the path to the target? High desity of SAM, an airfield close by .... We need high mountains up to the sea. A deep valley. Snow. But which terrain as basic? Completly new? Or the Caucasus part of my Southern Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula terrain? Or Korea MiG Alley terrain? Somewhere in the east of the map? Or something else? Only an idea.

AttachmentPosition= 6.8,-4.35,0.422 Change the bold marked value. Since the pods are to low placed you must raise the number. The value is in meters. If you want to raise the pod by 10 centimeters you must wrote 0.522

First modern western jet delivered to the Ukraine.

To expain my words. I have to finish a book project in the next two weeks. So it will look when released: The publishing house want the manuscript and the pictures delivered till January 15th. It someone of you has some good photos (resolution 2000x1400 pixel or better) of Antonows or IL-76, which he had photographed himself, and want to see them printed (The name of the photographer will be mantioned direct below the photo.), then send me a PM. When the book project is finished, then i will start to include the mentioned argentinian Naval Aviation Base into Rio de la Plata Bay terrain. Promised.

It hurts a little bit and smells strange, but no problem at all. We will fix it later.

Give me the usual two weeks.

View File Rio de la Plata terrain Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3 ***************************************************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean. The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020. It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind. The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina. Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map. You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians: SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon For the Argentinians you can fly this missions: SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON New in vesion 1.2: - number of target area increased from 37 to 47 - all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc. - Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west. - At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield. - I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers. - I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made. - I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size. New in version 1.3 - number of targetareas increades to 82 - a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina - included uruguayan airbases - included static Cessna for airfield "population - included some goodies ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. INSTALLATION: To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe. Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX Thats it. If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more. If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file Rio_de_la_Plata_Bay.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines: //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat change the entry into: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat save the file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ II.A: Goodies I have made a new mainscreen and included a new mainscreensound. Check it out and if you like it then copy the folder Menu to your SF2 mod installation If you own the TK's DLC28 and SF2Israel, you can use the MirageIIIEA and MirageIIIEBR, which you also find in the goodies folder. Simply copy to your objects folder. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III. Credits. Tileset is basing on Starys Green Hell 3.0 tileset.
