Gepard

I'm still working on this mod and i would say a first Beta could be released in a not so far future.

As already said its a mod of FE. i use my old Vogesen terrain, its nice moutainous. I have now a Z-37 Cmelak argocultural airplane as firefighter, a mod of the O-1e for SAR and Parachute missions and a C-130 mod for Parachute and firefighter missions. Spillone sent me a A-26 firefighter and his waterdrop effect.

The only problem is that i made a german language mod, so that i will have to retranslate into english for release. I hope that my english is good enough for it.

30 is no age. Sounds terrible, i know, but its a great time.

Ist jedenfalls ein tolles Teil.

Ich habe mal nachgegrast und muß meinen Beitrag von oben zurücknehmen. Ich habe da den Su-34 Prototypen und die Gorbi Story mit der Su-33 Trainervariante durcheinandergebracht. Mein Fehler.

A project is ready for release at the moment the developer decided that it is.

Tolles Teil.

Su-27KUB war so weit ich weiß eine Fehlbezeichnung. Als das Biest 1989 Gorbatschow auf den Träger Kusnetzow vorgestellt wurde hat man es so bezeichnet. Mit ner flachen Nase wäre es eine Su-34 aka Su-32FN.

I think the MaxTurnRate of 40g is closer to the reality then the 33g

Nukes are senseless. Kills the civilists while the military capability is astonishingly not really harmed.

Its only for people without balls in the trousers.

I guess the russians will get the deal. The IAF used MiG's since decades. The indian industry built them in licence.

The F-16 has the problem that Pakistan, Indias old well loved enemy, use it.

The Eurofighter is to expensive for his capabilities.

And the Gripen ...? I dont think that Sweden can push it so like the russians push the MiG.

Peugeot 206SW with diesel engine. Its a nice small beast.

Made 8 F-4E hitting the ground while flying the MiG-17F. Its a AI problem, not a problem of the planes.

Its true what Wrench said. The PF was a pure interceptor plane, so no air to ground weapons were available.

But if you want you could mod the plane to carry bombs or rockets. Its easy.

Open the file and look for all HeightMapScale= entries.

Perhaps there are also other settings then 5.0000

Change it to 1.00000 or even 0.000000000 till you has the result you wish. Simple trial and error methode.

Open file Vogesen_data.ini with notepad editor

press CTRL+H

look for

HeightMapScale=5.000000

replace it with

HeightMapScale=1.000000

Thats it.

The F-22 is a nice toy. Its true. But do you need it really? Its the same with the Eurofighter, is it really usefull in our time? I think no. What we need are planes like the A-10 or Su-25. Rough, ugly, but high efficient killers. We need helicopters, we need better and more reliable systems for the man on the ground. Because only the man with the rifle in the hand can hold and secure a territory. I think a lot of people should read the old book of General von Clausewitz. Perhaps they would not invest our money in expensive and senseless toys, but in usefull weapons.

If you see the decision in that way you will understand that the cut of the Raptor is the right way.

Hey Lindr, is this a new russian insignia at the Hokum or only marketing?

With other words the US gave the iraqis a short hint to buy american weapons. Its also a way to deal with the crisis.

Yes its true, but it also depend on the ground objects. The stock buildings use not very detailed skins. If you want high res buildings it will harm the FPS rate. Also if you place heavy Flak and SAM you will face this problem.

You can put the jets into FE without problem. But to bring the terrain from FE to the other sims is impossible. Thatswhy i make the civil mod on FE basic and not in WOE.

Be carefull with to many objects. It can cause FPS problems. Then you has a nice base in slideshow.

By the way, Tannethal, the size of factory baseplate is unkown for me. All of my files have the size in filename.

Great. Only that word: Great!

Its exactly what i'm looking for!

Nice water effect, Spillone. Much better than all i have made so far.

My airfields consist of several objects wich can be combinated so that you can build your own Airbase.

I have e runways of different length (2000, 2400 and 2600 meters) than 2 taxiways, one 100 meter long the other 500 meters long and 2 parking areas of different size. Each object you can set and move freely.

Its like a big puzzle. But i think with a certain amount of workforce you could make every single airbase of the world with such files.

Freut mich, daß es Dir gefällt. Ich habe mal einen Threat im englischsprachigen Teil des Forums aufgemacht. Mal sehen was dort an Reaktionen kommt.

The idea came some weeks ago when i had a bad discussion with my wife. She disliked it to see our 7 years old boy playing bomb dropping with TK's sims.

So i decided to make a civil mod using the czech Z-37 agricultural aircraft which is widely used in East Germany since 40 years. My idea is to make agricultural missions (fertelising of fields), firefighting missions, SAR and parachute missions. In the meantime i have moded the stock C-130A for paratroopers, the O-1e for SAR and created the Z-37Cmelak for agricultural, firefighting and SAR missions.

As basic game i use FE, because the tiling terrain is much more detailed and hedgehoping is much more fun than in the other TK sims. As basic terrain i use my Vogesen terrain.

With copy the controls.ini from WOE i can fly also jets in FE and it is a great experience to hedgehoping with a F-4 or a MiG trough the Vogesen moutain area.

Canadair, seems to be that we walked the same way. I used for making the woodfires FE stock trees and defined them as tanks too. Fireengines were also set as tanks.

For firefighting i use a mod of a KMGU area dispenser, but i have the problem of non existing waterbomb effect too. Perhaps an effect maker could help and create one.

Z-37Cmelak as Firefighter plane in Vogesen mountains

It are only the first steps.
