Gepard

View File Flakpanzer Gepard Flakpanzer Gepard for Ukraine terrain ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. The Gepard Flakpanzer is a mobile gunsystem intended to escort and defend tank units. In this role it is outdated today. But it is still very usefull as point defence weaponsystem against cruise missiles and drones. In 2022 Germany handed over already stored Gepard Flakpanzer to the Ukraine. In this mode the Gepard Flakpanzer is available only for the Ukraine from 2022 and for Brazil from 2014. This Gepard mod is made for older and slower computers. It use Gabilons old and small LOD file from 2005. I made a new skin to give it a good look. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

To use missiles, which costs 440.000 US$, to shot down a weather balloon, which costs 12 US$, is a waste of money. When the Americans sent hundreds of ballons from Westgermany to the east in the 1950th, 60th and 70th we used the guns of the fighters to down them. This worked very well, was a good training for the pilots and it was cheap.

To work with tga files you need a paint program which can handle it. I use a very old PaitshopPro.

Only an idea for a very interesting plane project Sukhoi T-4MS aka Izdeliye 200 for a supersonic swingwing stealthy heavy bomber. Something to the background: https://testpilot.ru/russia/sukhoi/t/4/ms/t4ms_e.htm

I think our sushi is smoking!

Montevideo next step:

Its better then the proverb: " An old woman is still an old woman even if you buy her a new dress. "

I took Gabilons low poly Flakpanzer Gepard LOD and gave it a new skin. Its astonishing how a good skin can change the look of a LOD with only 86 kB size.

Kaluga is a town south west of Moscow. In the picture of HurrySkurry the planes are named Ryasan and Saratov. Both are names of towns.

Maverik style fly by.

Next development step Montevideo Airport: It has grown up a little bit.

This would end in a nuclear nightmare in worst case.

We have only entries for Cruise, Mil and Afterburn. A forth value is missing. Maybe i'm wrong, but i dont see a way.

I decided to rebuild Montevideo Airport from scratch. The first step is done. The two main runways and some taxiways are layed out. At the moment the airport consist of 41 single objects. Its like a big puzzle. So it looks today: Tomorrow more.

I think you cant include the emergency mode into the data.ini.

If you set the ini file of the plane, lets say F-4E.ini, to write protected, the game cant overwrite you changes or modded planes.

It was a pleasure to me.

After looking on my terrain and then on Google Earth i realized, that i placed Montevideo at the wrong position. So i had to move it. Near to horizon you see the city tile at the old position. In reality there is a town called Ciudad del Plata or so. Montevideo is around the bay, which is a natural harbour. Same position, but view to the south, the suburbs of Montevideo along the coastline and the Montevideo International Airport Short view of this airport. First steps, there is still a lot to do.

Somewhere over the Rio de la Plata Bay.

Only an idea. Could you make a group of ground crew technicians, for populating airfields?

New version is uploaded. Contains now a green and a brown tileset for seasoned terrain, three new argentinian airbases and the port of Mar del Plata. Hope you enjoy it. Ideas for further improvements: Placing more argentinian towns at the map Adding some industrial areas, ports and naval bases for Argentina Making Urugay to friendly nation and bring one more urugayan airbase on the map.

Port and naval base of Mar del Plata. Some warehouses, some other buildings, 3 cargo ships, e destroyers, some patrolboats and some Flak.
