Gepard

The Top Gear helicopter of clumsiness Inspired by these old BBC Top Gear episode:

For training the MiG's had so called "Schreiberraketen". I dont know a correct english translation. They were white and had 3 or 4 black stripes. The outer shape of this devices was like a missile without fins and rocket engine. As example here a rare shot of an east german MiG-23ML with this training missiles for R-23 and R-60.

Wiki is wrong. In 2004 the JG-73 Steinhoff gave their last MiG-29G to Poland. In the same year they got their first EuFi's. Unit designation today TaktLwG 73 „S“ Steinhoff JG-74 since July 2006 . Unit designation today TaktLwG 74 , former Mölders. Since 2005 the name is not used anymore. JBG-31 since December 2009. Unit designation today TaktLwG 31 „B“ Boelke JG-71 since April 2013. Unit designation today TaktLwG 71 „R“ Richthofen

What if Germany would have bought MiG-29K instead of giving up Russia's debts.

Nice pictures. One comment. The Bundesmarine was founded in 1956. ;-)

For ships as ground objects you can use the line UseGroundObject=TRUE in the terrains _type.ini as example [TargetType032] Name=PatrolBoat FullName=PT Boat TargetType=Warship ActiveYear=0 TargetValue=100 UseGroundObject=TRUE <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< this line GroundObjectType=PatrolBoat <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< here the definition of ground object to use RepairRate=0.555 StartDetectChance=0 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DestroyedEffect=MediumFire SecondaryEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryChance=100

So wird das Buch aussehen.

SFP1 and WoX are better on older computers and WindowsXP. SF2 and old computers with less RAM are a bad idea. Loading of a mission needed up to 5 minutes.

This is an urban myth. Westberlin with 3 allied airfields was inside east german airspace. From a soviet or east german airfield to West Berlin it was a very short distance. It was impossible to fill up the plane fueltanks with so less fuel, that is was unable to reach West Berlin. From soviet airfields like Brandis or Köthen it were less than 150 km (less than 100 miles) to West Berlins Gatow airbase. And by the way, do you remember the crash of a soviet MiG-23ML in Belgium 1989? The plane came from the soviet base at Kolobreg (Kolberg) in Poland. And it had fuel enough to fly to Belgium. But end of OT. As far as i have understood the russian media correctly, the flight leader of the MiG-31 formation decided to extend the mission. He streched it to the maximum limits and thought, that the fuel status would be enough for this extra tour. A little miscalculation and the flight needed an emergency airstrip. Ussinsk was the closest airfield and this was used.

Quick and dirty solution: Open the Mig-23BN_data.ini and add the line ShowFromCockpit=FALSE below [Fuselage] save it and try it again.

View File Kurilen.7z Kuril Islands 1.0 ***************************************************** This terrain is written for SF2. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: This terrain covers the Kurils islands, a small group of islands which were conquered by the soviets in September 1945 from Japan. There is also a small part of the japanese island of Hokkaido. This terrain is made for carrier ops in primary. You may fly ground based planes too. There are two small japanese airfields and 3 soviet airfields. The soviets deployed an aray of SAM sites over the islands of Kunashir and Iturup. To run this terrain you need SF2NA and one of these: SF2I or SF2E. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. INSTALLATION: Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic /terrain folder. Because IcelandNA terrain does not include all neccessary objects to run this terrain properly you need to link it to an other terrains CAT file. From stock the terrain is prepared to link with SF2 Israel If you dont have SF2I you must open the file kurilen.ini with Windows notepad editor. Look for the lines: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat //CatFile=..\VIETNAMSEA\VietnamSEA.cat //CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat Add // in front of CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat to switch ot off. Then remove // at one of the other lines. Which you should remove depends on which SF2 game you still have installed side by side with SF2 North Atlantic. Save it. Thats it. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III. Credits. The TOD's, what means the trees and autogenerated houses on the map, are mostly taken from various tilesets made by Stary. The SAM protection walls are taken from Pureblues AirfieldDevKit. They were originaly made by Sundowner. The basic files for the taxiways, parking areas and quais are made by ErikGen. I hope i have not forgotten someone. . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IV. This Terrain is Freeware. Commercial use is not allowed. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ V. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM. Hope you enjoy it.

Geplant schon. Das dauert aber noch eine Weile. Das Problem besteht darin an gutes Bildmaterial zu kommen. Alles was früher bei der NVA offiziell fotografiert wurde ist nun Eigentum des Militärhistorischen Museums. Und die wollen für olle NVA Fotos richtig viel Geld sehen. Also bleibt mir nur an ex NVA Piloten oder Techniker ranzugehen und nachzufragen, ob jemand damals verbotenerweise doch was fotografiert hat. Und privat fotografieren konnte in der NVA durchaus mit Militärknast Schwedt bestraft werden. Das war eine echt kitzlige Sache damals. Momentan ist das Buch "Kampfflugzeuge der NVA" in Arbeit. Abgabetermin ist im Dezember. Es wird wohl im Frühjahr oder Herbst 2019 herauskommen. Davor war ein Buch über den Kampfhubschrauber Tiger WIP. Aber als der Tiger in Mali vom Himmel gefallen ist hat der Verlag erst einmal das Interesse an Deutschlands Superhubschrauber verloren.

Try an other cat file. If this not work, copy a cat file into the terrain and rename it like the terrain.

See it so: Its only a car. Damages can be repaired. How would you feel if your daugther would have not only scratched the car but also herself? Would be much more drama.

In SF1 generation Knowledgebase you find a little bit about campaign building. For SF2 it is more or less the same. You should start to modify an existing campaign. But make only minor steps. Perhaps try to include a new playable air force. A short tutorial how to do this you will find here: https://combatace.com/forums/forum/193-creatingmodding-campaigns/

The Facebook site of the Mythbusters shows two trailers of a new show, called Mythbusters Jr. Adam Savage will be the presenter of the show. 10 episodes are planed so far.

It seems to be, that it was common on US carriers to give planes, that landed on the wrong carrier a special paintshop. Some say it had be done during Vietnam War too.

иди домой! Go home! Happend close to Kuril Islands in early 80th.

True, but with SF2NA carrier ops are available. The position of the ship groups a generated randomly in a defined area. But sometimes the ship groups appear outside of the defined areas.

In game the tanks are driving over the water. They do not swim. A tanks that swims looks like these: or that and so it looks if a BMP-1 force is advancing a water obstacle :

So it is. If a waypoint in the movement.ini is set on the wrong place tanks and truck go over the water and ships sail over land. But: With the ships on land it can be a bug too. With Carrier groups it can happen, but this has nothing to do with the movement.ini.

My 2cents. A campaign is finished if the campaigns target is achieved. That means, that the enemy or the friendly BaseArea is captured by the other side. If there is a mismatch between the campaign and the terrain map in the kind, that the BaseArea is not a target area, then the game engine decides, that the campaign is over. I would check, wheter there is a target area in the map with the same name as the BaseArea in the campaign.
