Gepard

What if Westgermany would have bought Mirages instead Starfighter:

I think i fixed it.

The model, we see in the screenshots, is an early Mi-24W or in english letters Mi-24V. It has no internal flare dispensers, only the addon flare containers below the tail. The antennas for the EWR are also not to see. And the EWU cooling device at the engine exhaust is also not there. To make it appear as Mi-24D you need only the launch rails for the Phalanga ATGM. The Mi-35 was a simplyfied export version of the Mi-24V.

After releasing the 100 camos for east german MiG-21's i want to do 100 camo skins for north vietnamese MiG-17F. A first test showed following result: As you see the outer wings are lighter than the rest of the plane. I found out, that it has something to do with the decals. But i dont know, how to handle it. Has someone of you an idea to solve this problem?

File uploaded. Should be available soon. Some small issues caused by anomalies of the LOD files are still existing.

In real life there was never a MiG-27K. I had "invented" it as "what if plane" in old WoE days.

100 skins are made now. Two different ways of decalplacement are tested. I hope that i can release the random skins for the MiG-21F, PF, PFM and MF this weekend. Further i tested wheter the skinset would fit on other planes, just for fun. I found some anomalies. Unfortunatly.

Nope. That was not intended. The german Phantom should have been a single seater, lighter weight version without Sparrow missiles and without air refuel capacity. It was canceled in favor of F-4F, because the demanded development costs were to high.

Ist es nicht nett, wie sich die Chefin der Grüninnen Simone Peter über die Kölner Polizei aufregt. Da haben doch die bösen Bullen die armen nordafrikanischen Intensivtäter als Nafris bezeichnet! Das ist rassistisch und böse und hundsgemein! Und dann hat man diese armen Flüchtlinge auch noch kontrolliert! Das geht doch gar nicht! Wie kann man den diesen armen Menschen so behandeln. Die haben doch schließlich auch Rechte. Und Artikel 1 des Grundgesetzes sagt ja, die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar. Was für ein Skandal! Die armen Nordafrikaner konnten diesesmal keine Frauen begrabschen, bestehlen oder vergewaltigen! Wie kann man diesen armen Menschen nur so den Silvesterabend versauen! Ironiemodus aus. Ich bin froh, dass die Polizei durchgegriffen hat. Gut gemacht, Leute! Und wenn sich ein paar Grüninnen daran reiben, ach Scheiß drauf! Was kümmert es eine deutsche Eiche, wenn sich ein Schwein an ihr reibt! Und all jene, die wieder einmal anfangen mit dem Grundgesetzt Artikel 1 zu wedeln, sollten das GG genauer durchlesen. Dort gibt es auch einen Artikel, der den Geltungsbereich des GG definiert. Dort steht drin, dass das GG für alle Deutschen gilt. Es ist die Sammlung unserer Rechte und Pflichten. Nordafrikanische Straftäter stehen nicht unter dem Schutz des deutschen Grundgesetzes. Nachzulesen in der Präambel des GG sind folgende Worte: "Damit gilt dieses Grundgesetz für das gesamte Deutsche Volk." Ergo Nix Tunesier, nix Albaner, nix sonstewer.

Isn't stealth overrated? Modern IRST systems are said to be capable to detect a plane at around 150 km. What if the enemy is unable to detect a F-35 by Radar, but can detect and track it with IRST systems? While mockup fights between Eurofighter in F-22, the EF was able to detect and track the Raptor at combat relevant distance. And this was in 2010. The development goes forward. It would be careless to rely only on stealth.

IIRC there was a map Anatolia or so. Perhaps this could be ....

If there is no red campaign, then it is not as difficult to make a own one. Try the knowledgebase of SF1 http://combatace.com/topic/72817-adding-new-air-services-in-a-campaign/ Here i descriped how to make a new airforce, that is already included in a campaign usable for the player. It is for WoE, but SF2 is very similar. If you have problems with it, then ask here, not post in knowledgebase.

I dont think, that we have a map that covered this special part of Syria. This is Israel 2 map: The areas of interest are to close to the border of the map or outside the map. So a completly new map must be made.

75 camo decals are made so far. The placement of the decals is reworked, so that they fit better.

The russians have a long tradition in military choirs. The Alexandrow choir (red army choir) is dated back till WW2. They will rebuild the choir. It is truely sad news, that so many very good singers lost their live in a plane crash.

Marcel Dassault said once: only a nice plane is a good plane. Boings T-X is ugly.

I think, we will see a strategic change in US foreign policy. Trump realized, correctly, that Russia is no real threat for the USA, but China is a highly potential threat. So the USA will go a confrontation course against China. If you want to confronte China, you cant rely only on technological superiority. You need planes which you can build in masses to an acceptable price. The problem with F-35 and F-22 is their unbelievable oversized price. Okay, it are high potential planes, but you cant buy enough of them. In a conflict with China you would need a lot of planes and so many F-35 would cause a collaps of the US finance budget. As my old professor used to say: "You dont need the high potentials, you need the right potentials." So Trumps way to try to drop the prices of combat planes is corect.

Isnt there a little bit to much blue in the decal? Only in the very first time the russians used so much blue, but in the last years the blue part of the star became smaller and smaller.

IIRC, wasnt there a Su-25 included in NATO Fighters?

It is unbelievable, that a man who was sent into prison in Italy for criminal acts, was able to go to Germany after his release from prison, and ask there for asylum! Why he wasnt sent back to Tunesia after his prison time? Same with the afghan guy, who murdered in Freiburg some weeks ago. He was in prison in Greek. After his release from prison he went to Germany and asked for asylum. In Germany we have around 500 so called "Gefährder", what means "highly dangerous persons". Why this guys were not sent home. And if Tunesia or an other Land is not willing to take them back, then sent them by ship, throw them into the Med and the last 3 miles home they can row with a rubber boat .

The problems are lawyers and judges, which are living in their own ivory towers, far away from reality. The police want to act, but cant act, because the f...ing lawyers and goodwill people fight for the rights of the criminals .... It seems to be now, that the polish driver, who was found shot dead in the cabin of the truck, saved the live of a lot of people. He fought against the terrorist during the attack and forced him to leave the X-mas market. He was a real hero.

Ich habe gerade einen interessanten Beitrag des Journalisten Imad Karim gefunden, dem ich voll zustimmen kann https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004832569316&hc_ref=NEWSFEED

Look into the MiG-21F folder. Is there the folder LSK included?
