The MiG-21M got a second life as recon bird, in the East German Air Force (LSK). For that task the planes with the best condition were selected and got a midlife update end 1980th. They got self made recon pods, which based on UB-16 rocket pods. Then they got the mirror base, but no mirror on the roof. Then it was intended to include the R-60 (AA-8) missile in the weapon system and to replace the old R-11F-300 by the R-13F-300 engine. But this was planed for the early 1990th .... The protection plates were refitted to all gun armed MiG-21. Even old and outdated MiG-21PFM (our designation was MiG-21SPS-K)) got this plates. Here a MiG-21M as it was delivered: Mandatory screenshot:

I have tried the F-4N by Storm at the true naval map. Take off from and landing on Essex carrier and i was not able to duplicate the problem. The F-4N stood as a stone on deck after landing. The problem was, that the AI planes were unable to catch the wire and always run over the deck and fall into the sea. But the player piloted F-4N had not this problem.

Some remarks. The colors of east german MiG-21M is close to reality. Good job. The tactical number is to small in size, must be a little bit bigger. Then the plane is not a MiG-21M, it's a MiG-21MF. This screenshot shows the outer differences between M and MF: The plane with camo is the MF. It has a mirror on top of cockpit and small protection plates under the auxillary air intakes. The M has no mirror and was delivered without protection plates. The task of the protection plates is to protect the auxillary air intake from gun smoke, which can cause engine stall. Thatswhy this plates were fitted later during planes overhaul schemes. A refit with mirror on cockpit roof was very rare. MiG-21M was delivered in all metallic skin and got later camo. The MF was mostly delivered with camo. In east german service MF was translated with "Mit Farbe", what means "With Paint".

All tiles are made. Now the fine tuning starts. The transition from one tile to an other still have to corrected. The water tiles have to blended with the sea tiles. Then the jpg files have to converted to tga. TGA alpha channel have to create. Then the high field of the island has to fixed. And finally the trees and buildings of TOD objects have to place. It's a long way to go.

Since i made the new tiles for Alderney, Sark and Hern Island is was not happy with the look of Guernsey. Thatswhy i have started to make new tiles for Guernsey Island. The coastline tiles and some inland tiles are already finished. The rest of the inland tiles have to be done. The screenshots showing a flight from east to west. The tiles right of the plane and the coastal tiles are new, the tiles left of the plane are old design. Here you see the transition of new coastal tile and old inland tile. Guernsey Airport is now loacted exactly on the position given by sat pictures. It's still a long way, but it's an beginning.
