Other sreenshots of parking aircraft at Saki airfield.

Yakarow79 made the Nitka Ramp for the terrain. Its the ski jump ramp where the soviet and russian carrier pilots trained the take off from carrier.

SitRep: The ukrainian airfields have now all correct parking positions. Now i'm working on the russian bases. Screenshot: Parking area for large aircrafts at Jewpatoria Airfield. In the background you see the parking positions of some smaler aircrafts.

Bad photoshoped picture of a MiG-29. The original shows a german MiG-29G firing a R-27 missile. So it is fake news.

Shadow Rhino

Thats a good idea. And done.

The worst job for a french? Surely taster in a british canteen.

SitRep: I made some progress with creating airfield files which put the parked aircrafts on correct positions. Here the flightline of Petriwka Airfield and the parking area for transport planes at the same base:

Roger E Mosley, the actor who played the helicoper pilot TC in the TV show Magnum p.i., died after a car accident. TC was a inspiration for me, to serve out my military time in a helicopter unit, even that i was from the other side of the iron curtain. RIP, and thanks a lot for hours and hours of TV fun.

IIRC there is a way. You can create new formations in the formation.ini file. Then you must open the nations.ini file and add the new formations to the nation. example: lines from formations.ini: [FormationType010] Name=WW2GerFighter BaseLevel=2 Level[01].Name=Staffel Level[01].Size=4 Level[01].Formation[01]=StaffelTrail Level[02].Name=Schwarm Level[02].Size=2 Level[02].Formation[01]=Schwarm Level[03].Name=Rotte Level[03].Size=2 [FormationType011] Name=WW2GerAttack BaseLevel=3 Level[01].Name=Staffel Level[01].Size=3 Level[01].Formation[01]=WW2GerAttackSqd Level[02].Name=Flight Level[02].Size=2 Level[02].Formation[01]=WW2GerAttackFlt Level[03].Name=Element Level[03].Size=3 Level[03].Formation[01]=WW2GerAttackElm [FormationType012] Name=WW2GerBomber BaseLevel=3 Level[01].Name=KampfStaffel Level[01].Size=2 Level[01].Formation[01]=WW2GerBomberSqd Level[02].Name=Flight Level[02].Size=3 Level[02].Formation[01]=WW2GerBomberFlt Level[03].Name=Kette Level[03].Size=3 Level[03].Formation[01]=WW2GerBomberElm [Nation076] Name=Nazi Germany DisplayName=Luftwaffe Alignment=ENEMY PilotNameList=NamesGerman.lst RankList=RanksGAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2GerFighter <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< new Formation.Attack=WW2GerAttack <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<new Formation.Bomber=WW2GerBomber <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< new Formation.Transport=WW2GerBomber <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< new Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0

The east german lightblue-grey camo was the best look for an An-26.

Afghani fighter is not wrong. A lot of them fought only for money. But perhaps Dollar fighter would be more correct.

You will surely have realized, that in the two Beta versions the parked planes were parking somewhere on the gras. I'm now working on this subject and creating airfield files with correct placement for parked planes. Its a puzzle job and will need some time.

The second Beta is released. Contains now reworked russian airbases at the Crimean Peninsula, a SAM network there, factories as targets, the Sewastopol Harbour and a little bit more. The number of target areas climed from 31 to 54.

View File Southern Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula Terrain Donbass Beta 0.40 ***************************************************** Southern Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula Terrain THIS IS STILL A BETA VERSION!!!! ============================ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This terrain is written for SF2E. It works well with SF2NA. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: The south and the east of the Ukraine are battlegrounds in mid 2022. At the moment nobody knows how the war will end. This terrain covers the most parts of the Ukraine and some parts of the Russian Federation. But only the southern war theater and the crimean peninsula are included in this terrain so far. Airfields and some other target areas are placed on the map. Further improvements will come. I made the airfields in their shape as realistic as possible. Only 3 airfields are more or less freestyle. At the moment the terrain is made for scenarios around the Crimean peninsula. Offensive operations are more focused for the ukrainian side. In ukrainian strike missions you can fly against airfields, factories, depots, Sewastopol harbour and support facilities and a dense SAM network. For the russian side you can only fly against enemy airfields. At the moment possible mission types are: Sweep, CAP, Escort, Intercept, Recon, Strike and SEAD missions. The terrain is set as NavalMap=FALSE, but it is prepared for NavalMap=TRUE. If you use SF2NA as basic game you may change the setting, so that carrier vs carrier operations will be possible. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. INSTALLATION: To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic or 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 Donbass.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 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III.

I have uploaded version Beta 0.25 just now. Now an Admin must give his okay. Hope you enjoy the terrain.

Funny mustache.

1979 Borderwar between China and Vietnam

Okay, thanks for the info. Edit: I removed the Krivaks from Sewastopol Harbour. Additionally i added some stock partolboats to the harbour. Lets see wheter they also cause a SEAD problem or not. Edit: Here the location of the target areas at Crimean Peninsula: More will come.

SitRep: The russian airfields are mostly done. Only the parking aircraft positions must still be fixed. I added some factory and storage areas at the Crimean peninsula, so that if you want to fly strike missions not only runways will be the choosen target. Screenshot: You see Sewastopol Harbor, as far it is already done. In the front is the Black Sea Fleet HQ complex, on the right the northern part of the harbour with some cargoships, warehouses and factories. On the left bank the beginning of the southern part of the harbour. It is not finished yet. If you use SF2NA as basic game you will find some Krivak frigates in the port. I think i will release the next Beta tomorrow.

Battle of Britain in the late 1950th. Heading for target area! Horrido! One Tommy down!

The correct designation is Junkers G 24. G stands for "Großflugzeug" = "big plane". The armed version had had the designation "K 30". K stands for "Kampfflugzeug" = "combat aircraft".

SEAD run at Saki aerodrom Crimean peninsula Well camoflaged SAM site

And the last airfield at the Crimean peninsula is finished. Wagerowje Airbase. It was intended as a big airbase in the east of the peninsula, but was not finished by the Soviets. Today it is more or less a ruin. Neither the ukraine nor Russia had had the money to finish the base and bring it to life.

Kirowskoje Airbase at Crimean peninsula. I dont know, why the Soviets very seldom built hangars and hardened aircraft shelters at their bases at the Crimean peninsula. Giant airfields, but less protection for the planes. Strange. Only one base is to be built and then i will release the second Beta.
