Did you change the nationname to Australia in the weapon editor? Also the attachment - I'm at work so not sure exactly what you need to do for the Ozi Aardvark? (I'm guessing by your sig that's what you want).

*blinks* There is nothing happening in two weeks. This isn't the thread you're looking for. You can go about your business. Move along. *shakes head*

Great WIP list - looking forward to these.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/G2-Games-Wings-of-...256&sr=1-12 A release date too - 26th October Is Amazon going off half-cocked?

Many happy returns guys.

Very appropriate for the new Israel game. You might get some more ideas at http://www.israeli-weapons.com/israeli_wea...le_systems.html

And with FC's new ALARMs we could have the Tornado EF Mk 3 also.

Corrected it Mannie, but isn't it just a matter of how you pronounce the Hebrew - Ashkenazi vs Sephardi ? BTW, did you get anywhere on your alternate Su-27I?

The big news, of course, is TK's new sim announced. As detailed elsewhere, these are the aircraft planned to be included: The game will cover 1967 Six Day War to 1982 Lebanon War. Our current plan (and you know what they say about plans includes Super Mystere B.2 (and Sa'ar), Shahak, Nesher, Kfir C2, Ahyt (E and H), Kurnas, Baz, and Netz player flyable. And for AI-only, Mystere IVA, Vautour IIA, Hunter FGA.59, Mirage IIIE, Mirage V, IL-28, Su-7, Tu-16 and the usual array of MiG-17/19/21/23s as AI planes. Granted, we have all of the above already, with only the Vatour being still WIP, but it will be interesting to see the 'official' versions of these and of course the updates to the game engine will be most welcome. I'm assuming that any other WIPs listed above are awaiting the new game/ patches to the existing games, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Hopefully this new release will generate some more traffic in this thread, and if any of the skinners are looking forward to TK's F-4E Kurnas, IsraDecal have just released two very comprehensive decal sets available from Hannants: ISRA58 1:48 F-4E/RF-4E 'Kurnass' Part 1 Decals for the Hammers, Orange Tail and Scorpion Squadrons plus full Hebrew stencilling. A total of 3 sheets. £15.50 £13.19 http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=ISRA58 ISRA59 1:48 F-4E/RF-4E 'Kurnass' including Kurnass 2000 Part 2 . Decals for the Bat and the One Squadrons plus full Hebrew stencilling. A Total of 3 sheets £15.50 £13.19 http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=ISRA59

Very nice. Thanks a lot for this one FC.

I just saw the season 1 boxed sets for 'The Unit' and 'Over There' in Asda (Wallmart) for £18 each. I've only seen the first episode of The Unit (it started last night on Virgin 1) and it looks promising.Not seen Over There. Worth getting the DVD sets?

Here's the Iran that I use in most of my modern installs. I changed the DisplayName of the nation too. The original FRIENDLY one is Imperial Iranian Air Force: [Nation033] Name=Iran DisplayName=Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force Alignment=ENEMY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesArabic.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=USFighter Formation.Attack=USFighter Formation.Bomber=USBomber Formation.Transport=USBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=POOR GenderRatio=0 DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat Medals=MedalsIran.ini MedalTextFile=MedalsIran.str

Without wishing to hijack the thread, and I certainly don'twant to stray into any real world issues, your list above got me thinking Kevin. I know that you are 'modernising' one of the Pacific terrains at the moment. How about looking at the Burma terrain sometime in the future? Maybe wiyth a view to some sort of fictional UN intervention campaign? I took a quick look at the Wiki article on the Burmese AF here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma_Air_Force We have a surpising amount of their equipment either in existence or in WIP. Here are the highlights: Equipment Fighters/Interceptors 52 × Chengdu F-7s equipped with French R550 Magic Air-to-air missiles) (PRC) 12 × MiG-29A/B (Russia) (Additional Mig-29s ordered in 2006 .) [2] Fighters/Ground Attack 16 × Shenyang J-6 (PRC) 48 × Nanchang A-5 (PRC) Counterinsurgency 12 × G-4 Super Galeb (Yugoslavia) 7 × Pilatus PC-9(Switzerland) 14 × Pilatus PC-7(Switzerland) Transport 6 × SAC Y-8D2/Antonov An-12 (PRC) 2 × Fokker F-27 (Netherlands) 3 × Fairchild-Hiller FH-227B (US) 3 × Beechcraft D-18S (US) Training & Maritime Survillence 2 × Mig-29UB (Russia) - more on order 10 × GAIC FT-7 (PRC) 4 × Shanyang FT-6 (PRC) 24 × Hongdu K-8 (PRC) 5 × Pilatus PC-7 (Switzerland) 2 × Britten-Norman Islander (Transferred by India in August 2006) Liaison Aircraft 4 × Cessna 180 (US) 1 × Cessna 550 (US) 5 × Pilatus PC-6A/B Turbo Porter Helicopters 11 × Mi-17 (Russia) 22 × UH-1 Iroquois (US) 20 × W-3 Sokół (Poland) 20 × Mi-2 Hoplite (Poland) ?? × HAL Dhruv (India - transferred in late 2006) 6 × Bell 206 Jet Ranger (US) 6 × SA-316B Alouette III (France) Serials and Markings Myanmar national insignia (white triangle with yellow field in the center and borders in blue) is usually applied on six positions. The serialling system of Myanmar Air Force aircraft is suggested to serve as both – unit and individual aircraft identity, this could not be confirmed so far, however. Most of the older airplanes carried the serials with the prefix “UB” and the numbers in Burmese. Sometimes the serials were outlined in white. Combat aircraft generally carry serials in black. SA.316B Alouette III: Dark Green overall, large black serial on the boom: UB6101 (unit unknown). UH-1H: camouflage colours unknown, serials reported to be 6201 through 6218 (unit unknown). F.27 Troopship: white overall, double black cheat line along the fuselage, black serial on the forward part of the fin: 5001 (unit unknown). PC-6B: Dark Earth on Light Earth over, Sky under, white serial on the rear fuselage: 50+04 (unit unknown). PC-7: Dark Grey or Dark Olive Green overall, black anti-glare panels in front of the cockpit, ruder checkered in black and yellow, serials in white, split by the national marking: 23+01 through 23+16 (two of original Swiss civil codes are also known: HB-HQA and HB-HQB), (Flying School). PC-9: like above; serials unknown (unit unknown). G-4 Super Galeb: Dark Olive Drab over, Sky under; white serial on the nose: 371, 376 (Fighter Training School/COIN Squadron). F-7M: Dark Grey and Dark Green over, Light Blue underneath, national markings on the top of the fin and on rear fuselage (over the trailing edge); serial in White split by the national marking: 16+22. A-5M: Dark Green/Dark Earth/Sand over, Sky under; black serial on the fin: 1503 (unit unknown, but could be the 1st Wing). W-3: Black or Dark Green overall, national marking on the fin, no serials visible. MiG-29: "Russian" Light Blue overall, with "Azur" Blue and Light Blue fields on upper surfaces; national markings on the fin and behind the cockpit; serial in Arabic characters applied in black on the fin, and repeated in Burmese characters of each side of the cockard: 27+09/2709. K-8: White over, red under; wings in white with red wingtips, rudder checkered in yellow and black, black serials on the fin, repated large around the national marking on the rear fuselage: 39+07 (Flying School). Modernization Programme In the early 1990s, The Burmese Air Force upgraded its facilities and introduced two new Air Base headquarters and existing Air Base headquarterss were renamed. It also significantly upgraded its radar and electronic warfare facilities. Consequently, Israel was contracted to refurbish and upgrade all the surviving 36 F-7s and FT-7s: these were to get the Elta EL/M-2032 air-to-air radar, Rafael Python Mk. III and even Litening laser-designator pods. The same equipment was then installed on the two-seater FT-7 fighter trainers as well. In a related deal, Israel delivered to Myanmar at least one consignment of laser-guided bombs, but no deliveries of any other (except mentioned) weapons are known. Since the Elbit contract was won in 1997, the air force has acquired at least one more squadron of F-7 and FT-7 aircraft from China, but these were not upgraded.

I got fragged once by my wingman with bombs. We were Tornado GR1s doing an airfield strike in a NATO Fighters campaign. Target was the runway so a few miles from target I tell my wingie to hit my target and then roll away from him so I can make a run down the centreline with my 1,000 pounders while he comes in perpendicular to drop his stick of bombs across the runway. To cut a long story short, I'm running in low and fast and just getting ready to pickle when my plane blows up! It was only when reading the debrief that I found out that I got killed by my own guy. And so ended the first mission of my campaign!

Don't know what more I can add here, but at least I got the continent right! :)

I believe that an Indo-Pakistan terrain and campaign are WIP. Not sure how far along they are. More interestingly, the default Desert map is actually the west coast of Southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana?) rotated 180 degrees (I think). Now if that could be 'put right' we'd have a new real world terrain to play with.

Just voted. Got them all: SF:P1, SFG, WOV, WOE and FE. Looking forward to the new one too!

I was thinking more about the C-130 because those could now be officially added to WOV & WOE and their campaigns, with appropriate skins (and yes I know that there are plenty out there). Re. a name for the new sim, remember how everyone thought the Stealth fighter would be the F-19 as that was the next in the sequence, and then the USAF went back to an earlier sequence and called it the F-117? Well, how about Middle East Air War - MEAW (following on from PAW & EAW)? And it sounds like the noise I used to (still?) make flying my toy planes! Also, TK didn't follow the 'Wings Over...' sequence with FE did he?

I take it that with the F-16 being included, TK has got over his difficulties with Lockheed? Definitely looking forward to this one....

ALARM anti radar missiles would be nice too.

Shana Tova guys.

I seem to remember wppsgt was working on some of these before he left for pastures new. Did they ever get finished?

Can I or anyone else assist in getting them up? A Red Flag campaign with the Aggressor F-16s already out there would be nice possibility.

List updated for X Ray's IAI-27 Killer mod of the Su-27.

I'll second that. I don't like posting in the file announcement threads unless it's a problem with a mod, so this is a great opportunity to thank scrapper and you too Baltika for bringing some great WW2 action to SF. Maybe TK will take note and bring out a WW2 version at some point so that these campaigns and all the planes, skins, tanks etc have a natural home?
