There were a lot of western planes shot down by soviet fighters in this time. Of course all of them (i mean the western planes) had peacefull intentions or made navigation errors and the bad soviets were trigger happy to shot down the innocent western planes.

184 were arrested, 150 of them were polish. Today Germany vs Netherlands. Hope this will a fine game. The dutch have a fair chance, because the german team has always a weak second match during a championship.

And it happend. Some hundred hooligans, mostly polish, made their own little ugly war. The police should have captured them all and send this self declared "heros and defenders of the motherland" to Afghanistan for mine sweeping, but without mine detection equippment. The game Russia 1 : 1 Poland, was not bad. This was football and not this terror the brainless fools made outside the stadium. The polish newspaper "Rzespospolita" had today the headline "SHAME". Greece 1 : 2 Czech Republic. After 6 minutes i thougt, that the czech will have an easy way, but after the 1:2 they were really shocked. But they won.

THe cease fire between France and England after the 1:1 was boring. Today evening Poland vs Russia. Seems to be that some russian "fans" want to provoke the polish people with a "independence day march" in Warsaw. Could be an ugly hooligan fest if the polish police cant suppress it.

its a beauty

France vs England today I think France will make it.

10 kills needed to get it, if i remember right.

And Germany won 1:0. I'm very astonished.

Russia 4 : 1 Czech Republic This evening Germany vs Portugal. To be honest, as good the german team was last year (nearly invincible) so bad it is this year.

Poland : Greece 1:1

What we see in Syria is an religious civil war. The minority of the syrian people are shiit (like Iran and Iraq) and alawit (local minority). The majority is sunnit (like Saudi Arabia). Sunni Saudis and shia Iranians now play their own little and ugly game who is the leading power in middle east. And they play it on the back of the syrian people. Unfortunatly the west cant do anything in the right way. If we would support the anti Bashar forces we support the Saudis and their medieval style of islam. If we let survive Bashar, then we support the Iranians. Its a lose lose situation for us. Either the societey who was the basic for Al-Queda or the Ayathollas. What a mess!!!!!

The ball is round, and the round must go into the squary (also called goal or Tor or something). So simple is football. (Okay, our american friends call it soccer and strangely they have a game what they call football where the players can carry the ball by hand Why they then call it football instead handball? :dntknw: :dntknw: ) Be it like it be. The EURO 2012 championchip has started, the first game is on. Poland vs Greece. At the moment Polen is leading with 1:0.

Yes they were there. In my military time i heared from one Vietnam veteran who came back to a soviet SAM unit in the GDR (east germany). Soviet SAM sites there were neat and clean, the ways were well made, with white painted stone on the edge. And the veteran said to his new comrades, you only must paint some crosshairs on the sam site for the NATO, with no camo this site will survive no 5 minutes if the Amis really attack. His collegues found his words not very funny.

Cant also not land at WOE

I tried the Vulcan to fly. Normaly it is only a target for my Mirages when flying over BoB terrain. Now, when flying the bird i found, that the AI was unable to land this bird. Is it only at my system or is it an FM issue?

Such a reference file does not exist as far as i know.

For a scripted mission it is possible, but for a random generated mission it could be difficult for the AI planes to find the way to the runway.

The tail art is defined in the decals.ini of the camo folders of the plane. if you look into this files with notepad editor you find lines like: FilenameFormat=F4_SqTailL or FilenameFormat=A4_SqTailL A F-4 cant show tailart of a A-4, because it is an other picture file. it needs a F4_SqTailL.tga file and not an A4_SqTailL.tga to be visible. Thatswhy a squadron batch of a F-4 is not shown on an A-4 tail and vice versa.

Works fine with CAS, Armed Recon and Anti-Ship. All directed to IsraelME.CAT.

Speyer is not bad. Its worth a travel.

I put it in an April2012 patched installation (have only SF2Israel and NA) and it worked well.

so now the figures i have found so far to Korea: During Korea war the american press and the Pentagon had spoken of a 14 : 1 kill ratio. In a report written in 1954 for the Fiscal Year 1953 it was officially said, that 792 MiG-15 were downed while 76 F-86 were lost. Its a ratio now of 10.4 : 1. (This is an extract of the paper where the always stated 792MiG's and 76 Sabres come from.) Some years later the data were changed again to 757 MiG's shot down and 103 F-86 lost. Its a ratio of 7.3 : 1, what was only the half of the ratio which was claimed during the war. On an other place it is stated, that 118 Sabre pilots were killed in action and 26 were missed in action. If we add this numbers we get 144 lost F-86 pilots. And i think that it is impossible to lose a pilot of a single seat plane without to lose the plane. If we now calculate the number of MiG-15 which russian sources admit since the break down of the USSR (335 planes and 124 pilots) and the number of lost american F-86 pilots (144), so we get a ratio 2.3 : 1 for the Sabre or 1 : 1.2 for the soviet pilots. There were 26 soviet aces with a total score of 249 shot down american planes. But there were much more soviet pilots in Korea and it is more than possible that this guys had some kills too.

If i remember right the britsh sold their last Harriers to the USMC. THe USMC used them as spare part depot (damn what means Ersatzteilspender on english )
