Had Libya had MiG-23MLD? MS, MF and ML they had. but MLD?

Here a east german propagada movie. Interessing part starts at 1:00.

Some soviet cinema movies. Storyline: American are bad, soviets are brave good guys.

That would be file piracy and this is forbitten here. We are not in China.

With the MiG-23ML a new swing wing position was possible. For dogfight the wings was now moved to 30° which gave a much better turn rate than before. The empty weight was around 1 t lighter. I have seen MiG-23ML making a full circle in 22seconds.

What if East Germany will rise again:

The MiG-23 had had no automated swing wings. The pilot had to move the wings by "hand".

The soviet war literature is the same as the american. "We are the heros, the others are the dumb fools." An other thing were the military literature, which was intended to teach lessons to the new military generation. From tanks over planes to air defence. There were also analysis of different wars after WW2, from Korea to Falkland, and mostly without any idiological rubbish. Biographies would be also interessting. Pokryshkin, the soviet no 2 ace in WW2, wrote a very interesting one. Then there was a czech or slovak author. Franticek Faitle, who fought first in the RAF and then moved to the USSR and then was transfered into the area of slovak national rebellion to fight with La-5FN against the german Luftwaffe in Slovakia. Problem. All in german translation. I doubt, that english translations are available. Edit, the czech pilot was: František Fajtl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/František_Fajtl

Does it happen everytime or only at certain targets?

If you can, release it please. IIRC it was the last, or one of the last Messerschmitt designs.

The helicopter became a attraction for the local medias, inclusive fotoshooting for a model. Here a link to german TV station MDR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NneQClyeY_M

The Chinook at the emergency landing site.

Today i have seen 5 Chinooks, 17 Apaches and one Black Hawk flying over Saxony. I guess, that they are flying to the NATO exercises in the Baltic states. First a group of 4 Chinooks were flying in line formation along the Bundesstraße 2 northbound. Around a half hour later one heli came back alone and it sounds not really good. He still made it for some kilometers before the Chinook had to perform a field landing near the town of Delitzsch. See attached link to the local newspaper http://www.lvz.de/Region/Delitzsch/US-Militaerhubschrauber-muss-auf-Delitzscher-Feld-notlanden One hour later a formation of 8 Apaches with a UH-60 leader were on the way northbound. Two hours later a formation of 9 Paches and one Chinook was on the way. Sorry for the bad quality of the photos. My mobile phone is from stoneage.

I would like to have a better fitting cockpit for the "Düppelschwein" (word by word translated as "Chaff Pig" or "Chaff Hog", but the meaning lose in translation) as we called the F-4G in the bad old days.

Really? But dont count to much on us in a conflict with Russia. We have weapons for only 4 EuFis. Wheny they have shooten their missiles we must throw with cotton balls.

Dont worry. In Germany we have a minister of defence who has more own children than combat ready Eurofighters.

Okay, dann auf Deutsch. Der TE verkraftet nur Dateien im Format 256x256 Pixel. Für die Arbeit mit dem TE musst Du also einen Extra Ordner haben, in dem alle Tiles im Format 256x256 Pixel gespeichert sind. Für das endgültige Terrain ist es dann egal wie groß die Tiles sind. The TE accepts only tiles in the size of 256x256 pixel. Thatswhy you must have tiles in 256x256 pixel size in the folder for working with TE. In the terrain folder you can have tiles with better resolution, or even with other format. JPG instead BMP for instance.

Big white squares are missing tiles. In SF2 world it would be black squares. It could be, that it are tiles in jpg format, which IIRC SF1 cant handle.

Einer der Gründe warum ich mich in der letzten Zeit gelegentlich etwas rar gemacht habe:

One story i would add from Korea War. When the MiG-15 entered the war, the supply situation with fuel tanks was bad. The soviet pilots got the order to drop the tanks only in emergency. On November 8, 1950 a single flying MiG-15, piloted by S.Lt. Kharitonow was surprised by an attacking F-80, flown by 1Lt.Russel Brown. Shortly after oppening the fire 5 of 6 machine guns of the F-80 jammed, but some bullits hit the MiG-15. Kharitonow now aware, that he was attacked dropped the fuel tanks. As usual with the early MiG-15 drop tanks some fuel vapored. For the american pilot it must have been like a deadly hitten plane. But the MiG-15 dived down, accelerated and escaped. For a long time in the western medias this was called the first jet to jet kill in history.

CAT files nobody will send you. It would be file piracy. But this is easy to cure. Open the ini file of the terrain for instance angola.ini Look for a line which looks like these: CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat The next step depends what version of SF2 you has. replace it with CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat (if you has SF2 Vietnam) or CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat (if you has SF2 Israel) or CatFile=..\IcelandNA\IcelandNA.cat (if you has SF2 North Atlantic) should work.

Thats a good news, that the shop is online again.

Today i tried to visite the shop on TW site. Just for fun. Lets say, i felt a little bit nostalgic. But i was unable to go to the shop. Is it closed? Or only temporary down? Any idea? The same with TW forum. Was also not available.

Have been in Kiev 1986. It was the cleanest soviet city i have ever seen. Everywhere the trucks of the city cleaning drove along the streets and sprayed water over it. On some street latirns hang strange traffic sights. IIRC they were yellow with red letters. "Chernobylski Rayon" and a arrow in which direction you had to drive if you wanted to go to Chernobyl. The girls were pretty and interessted, but when they found out, that we were germans ... okay, then the reaction was not as nice. Rather hostile. I could understood if old people looked strange to me when they found out that i'm german. For them the war was still present. But the young generation? Why they behaved so? Educated to hate? Everytime war movies in the TV. War movies in the cinemas. But this was in Kiev only. It never happend in Moscow or in the Ural mountains, not in Kirgisia or in Azerbaidzhan. Everywhere in the USSR we germans were the best friends, but not in the Ukraine. And in Poland. There i learned the polish greeting: "Svabske swine, swabske pies." (means "Kraut pigs, Kraut dogs.) Nice allies we had. With such allies you need no enemy!

Could it be, that your movie editing program made a little bit more than reducing the sound level? Changed it the sound file version? Maybe the game engine cant read the new version of sound file.
