Some progress with Energodar. It looks better now. Its not perfect, but better. The missing waves on the water are there, because the tiles are still jpg and not tga. Still WIP.

Fly over Energodar Nuclear Powerplant. Still work in progress. It is still a lot to do. Water tiles are in JPG instead TGA. Some more tiles in the east are to made and then the blendig to existing tiles must made. If Energogar is done, i think i will make some tiles for the big iron mines of Kriwoi Rog. Ther are really big holes in the earth.

View File Chinese Carrier Liaoning Aircraft Carrier "Liaoning" ex Varjag ex Kremlin Class ***************************************************** This mod is made for SF2. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. History Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class. The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or west european carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of project 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K in the air group of the Baku. The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov. When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet. The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varjag (Viking). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaoning. A second carrier of the same typ the Chinese built under the name Shandong. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. CREDITS: This is a quick mod of the ship "Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov", made by rokieborhgunder, which you can find here: https://combatace.com/files/file/17091-admiral-flota-sovetskogo-soyuza-kuznetsov/ ---------------------------------------------------------- III. INSTALLATION: -Unzip the folders into your SF2 mod folder ------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Known Problems: The mod is not perfect. The gun turrets are not of the correct type. The gun barrels looking always in the wrong direction. The HQ-10 missiles does not start from the silos, but from mid of the ship. ---------------------------------------------------------- V. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use the forum or send me a PM. ------------------------------------------------------------- VI. The Liaoning and all other files are FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED! ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Hope you enjoy it.

And touchdown!

A first experimental tile for Energodar Nuclear Power plant. I think it will need 6 or 7 tiles to make Energodar. Its a f..cking big plant.

CTD with intercept missions means, that the enemy has no strike aircraft. You should check wheter the timeframe of plane availability and the date of your mission fit.

Recon run over russian EWR station.

At the moments i'm making rivers and roads on the map. So the area west of the river Dnepr looks now in editor tool. New are the rivers Southern Bug, Ingulez, the Dnepr Delta, the canal from town Kriwoi Rog to the Dnepr reservoir. (Still WIP) Towns of Cherson, Kriwoi Rog and Nikopol placed on the map or relocated. Nikolajew and Energodar with the nuclear powerplant will come next.

PZL-230F, i think it will not win a designers prize.

So the marking of the airfields at night now looks so: Two red light beacons, made by Yakarow, each placed 1.000 meters away from runway.

Yakarow made the RSBN beacon for my terrain. RSBN was the soviet version of TACAN navigation system. German MiG-29 pilots, who had flow for LSK and Bundesluftwaffe said, that RSBN was more accurate.

Could you make the new german main battle tank KF-51 Panther please. pic taken from devianart

The real data for Strela 2 booster are: duration of the booster 0.5 seconds, duration of the sustainer 2.0 seconds. But there is also "start booster". I dont know the correct english term. We call it in german "Ausstoßladung". It pushes the missile out of the container. This needs 0.3 seconds. At a distance of 5 meters from launcher the booster starts to operate.

Tower check at Saki Air Base. This tower building was made by Yakarow. It is part of the NITKA system for training of carrier pilots.

WIP SitRep: I'm still working on Kachowka high dam. Swambast made the dam object. And i think it looks great. I made 3 new tiles and puzzled all together. As you can see, the hight field around the dam is not yet correct. And on the last screnshot you can realize, that i have forgotten to repaint one tile. it has still a little part of the former greenish river color. It has to be fix.

I was offline for a couple of days. That gave me the time to rework the river tiles. The greenish river i replaced by a dark blue one. I think it looks more like Europe than before. Screenshot: The Delta of the river Dnepr, when reaching the Black Sea.
