Not
lies, damn lies, and statistics...
but
lies < dam lies < statistics.
Or how Winni Churchill said, " I trust only the statistics that i have forged myself.

Do you have ever been in Kaukasus region? Shurely not. If you had been there, as i had been, then you would know that you all tell BS.
Saakashvili is the aggressor, not the russians . He ordered his forces to attack last night. His forces attacked South Ossetia, killed innocent people. The Ossetians as all rights of the world to defend themself and they have all rights of the world to demand help. Russia has the same right to defend the Ossetians as the NATO has had the right to defend the Albanians in Kosovo. Saakashvilis Georgia is the aggressor in Ossetia in the same way as Milosevics Serbia was the aggressor in Kosovo.
To start a war at the same day when the Olympic Games starts is a babarian act. Catch Saakashvilli and send him as prisioner to the International Court of Den Haag!
And by the way if someone believe i love the russians, no way, as East German i cant be russofil.
Edited to remove the name calling. Gepard, please refrain from doing so in the future. You can make your point without it.

-
Well spoken. Very well.

I don't believe anyone would try landing a conventional combat aircraft on the Kiev. It was designed for VTOL ops.Now, a Kuznetsov, OTH...
The last Kiev carrier, the Baku, renamed in Admiral Gorshkov, is now in refitt stadium and will be in futre the next Carrier or the Navy of India. The MiG-29K is the plane for it.

No such conversation available.
But there is a simple way in this community. If nobody has done it, then do it yourself.

I solved the problem. In the last hours i sunk more carriers then any other of the world and finaly i got it. Now i have nice burning ships and carriers with full texture.
Thanks for the hints.
Kevin, the medium_runway setting is still an beta. It is not possible to start and land from carrier in single mission. Unfortunatly. But there should be a way to do it. In campaigns it is possible. But where is the trick?

I have a problem while making my Midway terrain, which has to do with the ground objects (ships).
My idea is that destroyed ships not sinking, but burst into flames, as it was in reality. In the last some days i tried it with Capuns Akagi aircraft carrier. The result was that if i destroy this carrier i get a burning ship, but this ship has no texture, is also white. This is not satisfying.
Now my question to the specialists. Has someone an idea how to solve this problem?
this is the entry in the Akagi_data.ini
[GroundObjectData]

The carriers are part of stock WOE or WOV. With SFP1 and WOI you will need to download carriers and put them into the groundobjects folder.
The latest version of Formosa terrain is v1.0. I guess the 2.o is a mistake, that someone missread v0.2Beta as v2.0
-
Look for "Formosa Terrain"
-
The side selection comes with the
line
Alignment=FRIENDLY
or
Alignment=Enemy
Friendly stands for Blue side
Enemy for Red side.
Location is only used in Campaings for the briefing screen where you can read the name of the base and the location of the base.
For instance Ramat David, Israel.
If you has make no mistakes the changing of the alignment should do the job without problems.

Campaign sound very interesting for us "Bad Guys" tooBad guys? Do you mean the Amis?

For Korea i made some times ago the soviet used fluid six formation.

Position[03].Offset= 200, -50, 50
Position[04].Offset= 250, -65, 45
Position[05].Offset= -200, -50, -50
Position[06].Offset= -250, -65, -45

Alt+N should bring you close to the carrier.

I use a very old version of PaintShopPro. Dont know wheter Microsoft Paint can handly copy and paste from one tga to an other tga file.
-
Formosa tileset is made for WOE. It use the standard tileset. But the standard tileset has a nor really satisfying coastline. Thatswhy i made few additional coastline tiles which i included in the Formosa.zip. This tiles are the one which you mentioned. They are part of the "Limitations" of Formosa compatibility with SFP1, WOI and WOV i stated in the readme file.
For the SFP1 users there is only one way to overcome this problem. Use a paintprogramm to overpaint the problematic tiles with textures of your downloaded replacement tileset.
-
The first steps are made. I will ask Capun and Hinchinbrooke wheter i can include their ship models into Midway terrain. And then i hope to release the first Beta version of the terrain till weekend.
-
Look into my Su-22M4 Susi mod. There you will find a modern soviet pilot skin.

Only a big water desert with very few islands.
The screenshot shows some Wildcats over Kure Atoll near the Midway islands.

Matjulka is the right russian name. Translation "The Small" or "The Little".

BMP=Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty
better translation
Infantry Fighting Vehicle
or in german
Schützenpanzer

Panzer Pack for WOI
WOI Panzer Pack
This package includes modded versions of TK's panzers of WOI plus a T-34/85 and the israeli version of the T-55.
All of this tanks i gave additionally to the gun an coaxial MG and in some cases Flak MG.
All tanks are now able to defend themself against engaging planes, so that tank butchering now becomes more challenging for the pilots.
************************************************
INSTALLATION
Unzip all files into your objects/groundobjects folder.
Thats it.
***********************************************
Credits:
All honour for the stock tank models goes to TK
For the T-34 i want to say thank you to Pasko.
***********************************************
You will need a weapon pack to make the soviet vehicles able to fire their coaxial MG and the T-34's to fire their gun.
Or you add following lines into you gundata.ini file. Make sure to exchange the xx with the correct sequence number.

Georgia moves against separatists
in The Pub
Posted
The storyline of the conflict. ( surely not complete)
-Back in mid 19th century Russia occupied the Caucasus area. A lot of uprisings were suppresed by russian military.
-October 1917 revolution in Russia. Forced by the circumstances Lenin opend the way to independence of peoples of former Russian Empire.
-In 1918 some caucasus peoples (re)founded their own states. Georgia was one of it.
- 1918 to 1922 civil war in Russia
-Up to 1921 or 22 all of this "white" republics were blown away by military red forces.
-In 1922 the now "red" republics became part of the USSR.
- 1925 Stalin, a Georgian, became head of the USSR
- The exact date i havent found, but Stalin cutted off South Ossetia from Russian Federation and included it into Georgian Socialist Republic.
-1942 german forces reached the caucasus region and tried to start an anti russian revolution. They had only minor success, but Stalin banned hundret thousends of people to sibiria.
-1991 the Soviet Union is history. The GUS is founded. Yelzin offered to the peoples of the formes USSR so much independence as they want. As result Georgia is reborn.
But Georgia is not only the home of Georgians. There are a lot of other peoples (Abchasians, Ossetians, etc) which also attemped to reach their independence, but the Georgians denied their attempts.
-1992 in South Ossetia elections were held and over 90% of the Ossetians voted for independence from Georgia. Georgia sent police forces and the first war broke out. In the same year the GUS achieved a casefire and put in "peace keeping" forces.
From this point South Ossetia was independend from Georgia.
- 2004 elections in Georgia. After elections Saakashvilli became leader of Georgia (Revolution of Roses).
- 2007 Saakashvili sent his police forces against political demonstrations in Tiflis. Reelection was forged, by statements of opposition, by statements of EU and UN officials. US politicians claimed free and fair elections.
-2008 tensions in the region raised. georgian attempts to regain lost territories. Political missions of european politicians failed.
- night from 07.August 2008 to 08. August 2008, georgian forces opend the fire on south ossetian and "peace keeping forces"positions. Georgian forces started to invade South ossetia, tried to blitz against their capital Swinggali.
-By high noon 08. August 2008 the town Swinggali is nearly encirceld by georgian forces. Georgian artillery shell the town mercyless. Georgian airstikes destroy the hospital of the town. Over 1000 civilists die (be carefull with numbers, in this region of the world the guys have very big balls)
-Ossetian president cried for urgend help, the russians start to air support South Ossetia and by end of the day the georgian invading forces were pushed away.
-By the end of the day russian T-90, mobile artillery and other forces reached South Ossetia.
-Today Saakashvili tells the world, that he is innocent victim of russian invasion.
To be continued
