Impressive. But first i want to see the plane flying.

Seems to be that someone has made this bird for SF2. The terrain looks like SF2E stock terrain.

If i look to the available pictures i think what they show us is a "Maket", or to use the neglish term a mock up. Not more, not less. It is on the same level like the BAE Tempest, what the Tommies showed for a while. The experience show us, that between Maket and the real plane can be a lot of differences.

Su-22 was NATO Code Fitter, eastern nickname "Susi". Completly other plane. If i have understood it correctly on next Tuesday we will learn more about the new russian bird.

Barrage Balloons are included in Battle of Britain terrain and Battle of Britain 2 terrain. But they are not made as single balloons. And so they looks in game:

Seems to be the MiG LMFS prototype or mock up. The russians are working on this plane since a couple of years. This plane could be seen as a confession, that the Su-57 is to expensive for a nation with mediocre economic power like Russia.

Shadow games.

Damaged but back home again.

Funny. The R-60 was not used in Vietnam War. They had only R-3S, which was a perfect AIM-9B copy.

The Iron Dome incident shows, that the american made Friend and Foe systems still have problems to work properly. Its not new. Its known since Vietnam war. You'd think they'd had enough time to sort out the problem.

If i remember correctly "Opie" was the american spelling of the german word "Opi", what means "Grandpa". The car, a Sachsenring P601 Trabant, was bought by the Squadron and was used as "Follow Me" car in the early 1990th. The picture was taken at Jacksonvill AFB Florida. The name on the door is "Col Chuck Ickes". He was commander of this Airbase. He retired in a rank of Major General. I dont know, wheter the car is still in use.

If a small car wants to be a fighter plane:

Yep, its a nice mixture between MiG-21 wings and Mirage III fuselage. I would like to have it. Perhaps someone of the modders could make it new.

He better should have written "Lightning" instead to try a word by word translation of the german nickname of this bird. It was called "Gabelschwanzteufel" by the Luftwaffe pilots. O is for Osprey

M is for Milan

H is for Hind

G stands for Gustav

B is for: Backfire

Z stands for Z-37 Cmelak, czech agricultural aircraft okay, very poor model with terrible skin

M for Mirage Mirage 4000

J stands for Junkers, here Ju-88 Ju-88 over the London Docks (Battle of Britain 2 terrain) "Bomben los!" (bombs away)

I stands for I-153 Chaika, soviet fighter developed by Polikarpov Chaika over german airfield Zveno (flight) of Chaikas over the coastline

I have never had CTD. The tiles are with 1024x1024 pixel very big. Maybe that the workload for your computer is to high. Perhaps you should lower the graphic setting.

View File Battle of Britain 2 Terrain Operation Seelöwe Battle of Britain 2 Terrain Operation Seelöwe ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2E. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. Battle of Britain 2 terrain Operation Seelöwe is a complete rework of my Battle of Britain terrain from 2009. It is completly new tiled, to give it a much better look. Each tile has now a size of 1024x1024 pixel, what is 4 times higher than in the old terrain. The terrain is made with "Operation Seelöwe" in mind. This operation was a german military plan from 1940 to land with strong forces on english soil. This operation was planed in a timeframe from summer till early autumn 1940. Thatswhy i made no seasoned tileset. To simulate the ground battles after the german invasion i set some german beachheads on the map, so that now CAS missions can be flown. The area of Londow along the river Themse is new tiled by using satellite images. To hold the frame rate of the game as high as possible, i made the rivertiles not as tga files, but as ordinary jpg files. Thatswhy you will not find waves and reflexions on the river Themse and the most other rivers in this terrain. The City of London is populated with house blocks. So is is destroyable by bomb raids. The airfields in Britain are made by using old air footages from WW2. The design of the german bases is fiction. I was not able to find air footages from 1940 for this airfields. Please make sure, that your bombers have the setting MinBaseSize=MEDIUM in their data.ini of the plane. Otherwise the bombers will also use fighter bases. At the moment Battle of Britain 2 terrain contains 312 target areas. Some target areas are named PQsomething. PQ comes from the german word "Planquadrat", which is in english "grid". I decided to use the term PQ to simulate german planningmaps. The terrain comes with two new nations. First the Luftwaffe of the Third Reich and the fictionary Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte of the Republic of Germany. Both nations have own insiginas, which you can select for single missions. The swastika i made only in a "camouflaged" version, because in Germany it is not allowed to handle this symbol in a game. I have also moded the missioncontrol.ini file. Now the planes are closer to their base when they start a landing approach. The terrain comes with 3 campaigns. No.1 is Operation Seelöwe, the german invasion in Britain in late summer 1940 No.2 is the so called Nonstop Offensive, the british air strikes over the Channel in 1941 No.3 is Operation Seelöwe in 1956 with a fiction Republic of Germany as invader. For the campaigns you need following planes: BF109E-4 by RussoUK https://combatace.com/files/file/14035-bf109e-47z/ Ju-88A-1 by Veltro2k https://combatace.com/files/file/15445-junkers-ju-88-a1/ Do-17P by Veltro2k https://combatace.com/files/file/15196-dornier-do-17p/ Spitfire Mk.1 by TMF https://combatace.com/files/file/13510-sf2-ww2-spitfire-mk1a-by-mod-mafiatmf/ Hurricane IA by Raven https://combatace.com/files/file/13646-sf2-ww2-hawker-hurricane-ia-etobob-by-raven/ WW2 RAF Bombers pack by Wrench https://combatace.com/files/file/13795-sf2-ww2-raf-bombers-pak/ For the german 1956 campaign you need a MiG-17 cockpit The best is made by Stary https://combatace.com/files/file/12684-mig-15-mig-15-bis-mig-17-cockpit/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. CREDITS: While making Battle of Britain 2 terrain i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files! The tileset is basing on Jan Tumas tileset for First Eagles The most tod files are made by me, but i also used files made by Stary. The white cliffs objects are made by GKABS. The airfield objects are made by Geezer. Some hangars are taken from AirfieldDevKit_v1.1 The Robinson hangars are made by RussoUK2004 The industrial factories are made by Geezer. The fortification objects are made by Geezer. The cargoships which you find in London Docks are made by Nils 'Julhelm' Dücker I hope that have nobody forgotten. ---------------------------------------------------------- III.
