Two 20 mm cannons instead of four on the latest versions. Am I right?

Thank you for the info about the HVARs (and all the work you've done). One question : What is the name of the Razbam Skyraider folder, and how is it called in the aircrafts list? I'd like to know to avoid confusion, and to simplify installation (and deleting).

Hi Lt!, at least you managed to RTB, if it was easy it wouldn't be that fun. There's too many cool planes, I just don't know which one to choose : "What if" french F-47N, french AD-4NA Skyraider, RAF Canberra (with the Norden bombsight) in the France vs UK campaign OV-10 in the ODS campaign B-57G (by night), F-4D over Vietnam, F-4G over Europe Anything from the US Navy...

I've checked on google what is a "Beutepanzer IV female", OH MY GOD! D8 NOOOOOOOoooooo!!!!!!.....

Hi, my NATO fighters install crashed so it's the end of the 1968 campaign over Europe with the 87th FIS. Too bad... I saved the pilot file and maybe I will go on with Maj Rosewood for another campaign. Thanks for reading (but you'd better share your stories you too)

27th mission Maj Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/28/68 Take off : 15.01 – Landing : 15.52 Target : Osnabrück, Sweep 2 Il-28 Buick 11 : Maj Sean Rosewood Buick 12 : 2Lt Billy Pickett Buick 13 : Capt Clifton Massen Buick 14 : 2Lt Gerald Day Buick 21 : Maj Richard Howerton Buick 22 : 2Lt Kelly Wells Buick 23 : Capt Rolland Kullman Buick 24 : 1Lt Gordon Smallwood Report : Big show today, but no big fight. 8 ships to perform a fighter sweep over Osnabrück, the CO leads the 2nd flight and I’m in charge of the 1st. After take off I reached level 13 and set a direct course, there’s no time to waste. In fact I lost that time doing a 360° to hit the ingress waypoint of the target area. Once there, with the 8 “six” dispersed in the sky, we started to look for some bandits. There were only 2 bombers marauding and I soon got a lock on one of them. I launched an AIM-4F and took him out. We turned to engage the other and I fired an AIM-4G. The Falcon did a surprising trajectory, diving to the Beagle but missed it. I did a 270° turn trying not to lose sight and get the 6 of the bandit. There were three spots on the scope, I guess there were some of my wingmen right on the tail of the Beagle. So I carefully locked on the right spot and launched my last AIM-4F. The Beagle exploded right before my wingies. Nothing more to do here today, we RTB. Our forces are in Osnabrück. The enemy left the Netherlands.

Nothing serious : Open the data.ini file All the Ymac= entries on the right side must be + RightWing Ymac=-0.90 and RightStab Ymac=-0.76 must be modified to : [RightWing] Ymac=0.90 [RightStab] Ymac=0.76 It worked fine for me, hope it will for you ;)

25th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/26/68 Take off : 15.53 – Landing : 16.44 Target : Magdeburg, Recce Mamba 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Mamba 12 : 2Lt Clayton Jefferson Report : Simple mission today, we performed a reconnaissance flight over Magdeburg. 2Lt Clayton Jefferson is back amongst us after he’s been grounded for 21 days because of his injuries. Milk run, but there was a thick overcast at 9700ft. ___________________________________________________________________ 26th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/27/68 Take off : 20.27 – Landing : 21.06 Target : Minden, Recce Denver 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Denver 12 : 2Lt Clayton Jefferson Report : Once again 2Lt Jefferson and I were tasked to a recce flight. The weather was worse than yesterday. The overcast was at 7500ft and the target was foggy. 2Lt Jefferson seemed to be easier for his 2nd flight. There was AAA over Minden but they missed us. We stayed low until we passed Gütersloh, occupied by the enemy. I must say that I really appreciated that night flight over Germany even with bad flying conditions. After the debriefing, the CO told me that I was promoted to Major grade and will be awarded with the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal. Our forces are in Schwerin.

On envoi des posts à Suicidal en espagnol et lui nous répond en français. En collaborant comme ça on fait un modèle, le truc aura pas de forme ;) Enviamos mensajes a Suicidal español y le respondió en francés. Al trabajar de esta manera podemos hacer un modelo, el truco no se forma. C'est pas mon espagnol c'est celui de google...

I don't know if it's very interesting but, if you want your Canberra or B-57 to land without crashing to the ground on your WOV/E 06 install (<- that is the fun part, "patch level 06" xD) Try this in the data.ini file : [FlightControl] StallSpeed=61.44 <-- increase stall speed CruiseSpeed=180.1 ClimbSpeed=208.85 CornerSpeed=141.5 MaxG=3.00 MaxSpeedSL=257.05 MachLimit=0.79 PitchDamper=0.85 RollDamper=0.4 YawDamper=0.2 BTW, AnimationID=4 is for the flaps (LeftFlapInBoard / RightFlapInBoard / LeftFlapOutBoard / RightFlapOutBoard) and AnimationID=3 is for the airbrakes (LeftAirbrake / RightAirbrake). ReverseModelOrientation=FALSE for the left main gear and ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE for the right main gear. Thx for reading! SFP2? what? nobody told me!

I was in great shape today! ;) 23rd mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/24/68 Take off : 14.17 – Landing : 14.53 Target : Brandis, Intercept Viper 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Viper 12 : 2Lt Gerald Day Viper 13 : Capt Clifton Massen Viper 14 : 1Lt Edward Thomas Report : This have been a total failure! Take off on alert to perform an intercept flight near Brandis. It’s far from Wiesbaden so I hurried up and lost my way, leading the four aircrafts mission to nowhere. Too late I realized my mistake and we came back to the target area. We were told to RTB, we were useless. In fact we weren’t far from home base (how stupid!) but I missed my approach and almost stalled when on finale, recovering the Six using full AB. Such a bad day… _________________________________ 24th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/25/68 Take off : 14.53 – Landing : 16.12 Target : Laarbruch, Intercept 1 Il-28 Oyster 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Oyster 12 : 2Lt Kelly Wells Oyster 13 : Capt Rolland Kullman Oyster 14 : 1Lt Eldon Rose Report : I was really nervous when we took off to intercept an enemy raid near Köln. I didn’t want to repeat the same failure than yesterday. 1Lt Smallwood was supposed to be number 4 but I chose 1Lt Rose to come with us, I really needed to fly with some reliable wingmen. We were on time for the intercept and I soon had a lock on the bandits. I radioed Oyster flight to engage. I launched an AIM-4F and shot down an Il-28. I slowed down to engage another one but, as usual, they were low, ~500ft. As I was closing too quickly to the bomber I dove to be as low as him, but it was too much and I lost sight blinded by the blood rushing to my eyes because of the negative Gs. I was low and I thought that I was crashing so I pulled up but once again too much violently. The Six almost stalled at the top of the trees. What’s wrong with me?! The bomber was still right there, under my nose so I launched an IRM AIM-4G then a radar guided AIM-4F without any lock. Then another G which went to the ground and, as I had a radar lock I launched the SuperFalcon despite of the insufficient range. My last weapon went into the trees… I was winchester and the Beagle was flying unharmed after I wasted 4 missiles on it. That lasted long. We turned around the Beagle over Köln, waiting for him to gain some altitude. He never did and he engaged Oyster 14 who was such a sitting duck. Can you picture that? An Ilyushin bomber chasing a F-106 Delta Dart?! I tried to follow him and I stalled. Luckily the six was light, the fuel tanks being half empty. I recovered it and decided to take some distance with the Beagle to engage him once again later but I lost his sight and was never able to detect where he was. I asked for an intercept vector and the tactical control gave us a course to the north, while the bandit was on the east course. I told Oyster 13 and 14 to RTB and Oyster 12 and I went to the north. Trying to save the remaining fuel, we managed to intercept two another Beagles but Kellly had never been able to shoot at them. I was disgusted, we went back home slowly. Kelly was number one for landing, I thought it was the best way to end that another s…ty day.

Don't say that, because I'm a simple user like you. It's just I like to improve things when I can... so I open the files and see how it's done :) The idea come from the Super Etendard cockpit made by Foxmonster. It's available for 1st generation Third Wire at Capun's site, but you'll have to register. http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/ It's available at CombatAce for SFP2. Take a spin with her and you won't regret!

IMVHO, I don't think you missed anything. There's few ways to create something to show the waypoint direction. Without the 3D model it will be tricky and will make a crappy result, but I like it because it makes the flight more fun than just follow the white triangles. Here's my attempt : First, I've fixed the ADI ball, but you don't need it to try the little change I made (it may not be what you want...) On the front HUD you have the course of the plane on the top of the glass. I think the analog counter of the external fuel tanks is not necessary, and the data is repeated in the rear cockpit. The thing is to transform the analog fuel counter into a waypoint course indicator. Open the Mirage2000D_COCKPIT file, and search for the ExternalFuel2 entry. [ExternalFuel2] Type=BEARING_MARKER <-- new line //Type=EXTERNAL_FUEL_QUANTITY_INDICATOR <-- add the // to neutralize the line CounterNodeFormat=FE_dig%d MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER ValueUnit=Deg <-- new line //ValueUnit=KG<-- add the // to neutralize the line //Scale=1<-- add the // to neutralize the line The former external fuel tank counter will give you the course to follow to the next way point. Crappy solution but it works just by editing one item.

Yeah, welcome Jarhead1! Slarti, I like that you post here your SF2 DID stories xD 22nd mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/23/68 Take off : 13.17 – Landing : 14.43 Target : Drewitz, Recce Hammer 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Hammer 12 : 2Lt Norman Howerton Report : There was a taste of vengeance in this mission today. I must admit it’s not serious but I cannot stand when the adversary fools us. It was a long range recce over Drewitz near the border between Germany and Poland. We were not supposed to be threatened before Altenburg-Nobitz which is secured by our ground forces. We kept the level 10 till we reached that point and then we went to the deck. To avoid SAM launches and AAA we kept the east course till Gorlitz, and there, the escaping soviet bomber of yesterday came back to my mind. I decided to cross the polish border and to fly over the nearest big city, Zielona Góra. Keeping the economical engine thrust, we flew over the town and, as I thought it wasn’t enough, I made a roll and a second one before we turned to the west still flying over the buildings. We were quite close to the flight plan after that little joke, we set the course to Drewitz. Nobody seemed to be prepare to defend the air base though we were flying at 3500 ft. Suddenly, it was clear! There was a plane on his approach to land! A big plane, a cargo. Damn! I turned on the radar, selected the AIM-4F Falcons and try to lock on that surprise target. It was too low, already above the runway, maybe already on the ground, so I switched to the AIM-4G and fired. Norman told me that my missile went to the runway without hitting the aircraft. As we had reached the target location we were told to RTB and I didn’t try to do anything else because the AAA was really trying to shoot us down right now! The way back home was really quiet but when approaching Halle, occupied by friendly forces, I heard a “SAM inbound” call. I dodged the unseen threat and went on flying only 800 ft high. I missed my approach at Wiesbaden when Norman landed perfectly on his first. The last surprise was to learn that a SAM had been actually launched at an US fighter near Halle right when I was diving to the ground. The escaping maneuver wasn’t useless like I thought at that time. I really think it was stupid to fly over a city behind enemy lines just to get even, but it was too much tempting. A sort of psychological war, from my point of view.

21st mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/22/68 Take off : 12.17 – Landing : 14.21 Target : Zweibrücken, Intercept 3 Il-28 Dallas 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Dallas 12 : 2Lt Gerald Day Dallas 13 : Capt Clifton Massen Dallas 14 : 1Lt Gordon Smallwood Report : We completed this mission but I’m not sure that we did it the right way. We took off to intercept an enemy raid near Zweibrücken, a 4 ships flight. A good team, except number four who did a crappy job a week ago. Once in position I asked a vector to begin the intercept : “3 o’clock, 10 miles”. Ok, I turned 90° on my left. I called for confirmation “6 o’clock, 15 miles”. Whaaat?? OMG! I’m such an idiot. I did a split-S and cranked up full burner to catch up the bandits. I soon had a lock and launched an AIM-4F. One down! I launched the second AIM-4F and it exploded near the Il-28, I finished him off with an AIM-4G, and I shot down a third one with the second AIM-4G. I tried to fire my last missile at the fourth one but the AIM-26B went to the ground. Dallas 12 and 13 was on his tail (Dallas 14 was sleeping). But the bandit was low ~1500ft AGL so the guys didn’t even try to launch anything. As they were following him, the tail gunner was trying to shoot them down. I called to form up and we gained some altitude as the bomber was turning portside below us. Then I decided to chase that Beagle and I told the guys to engage him. Dallas 12 went to the deck but still wasn’t able to launch anything, too low. The bandit went south with Dallas 12 on his tail, and we followed them few miles behind. It lasted a long time and I wondered “where are we?” A sight on the map… woops! I think we’re in France! Doesn’t matter we went on with the hunt. Still going south, I lost sight of the pursuit but Gerald told us he was still behind the bandit. It was going nowhere and the fuel level was decreasing, so I set a direct course to Wiesbaden and called back Gerald. We formed up and set an economical speed at 7500ft. In fact, the direct course made us pass over the cities of Mulhouse and Strasbourg. A perfect US jet fighters fluid four over the cities of France, what a laugh! I think that my squadron mates are going facetious. I was on finale when Gerald overtook me on my left, while Capt Massen was doing the same on my right, and then they crossed each other right under my nose Gerald turning right and Massen turning left. What is this? The new Thunderbirds? The Skyblazers revival? Come on! What a debrief! The intercept was done but we shook the sky a little during this pursuit. We were told to shut up about the flight of a Soviet bomber over France and Switzerland. That night we bought our rounds.

20th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/21/68 Take off : 11.17 – Landing : 12.25 Target : Twenthe, Recce 2 Il-28 Zebra 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Zebra 12 : 2Lt Kelly Wells Report : It was supposed to be a milk run, fly over friendly lands and perform a recce pass over Twenthe air base which is occupied by enemy forces. We took off and very soon we encountered marauding enemy bombers, we engaged them. I launched an AIM-4F but it went to the ground. As I knew we were quite alone and Kelly was chasing another bandit, I switched to the AIM-4G and shot down the Il-28. I tried to form up with Kelly but there was a third bomber, closer than Kelly, I got its six and gain some altitude in order to have a radar lock. I was following him but still no lock so I launched the second AIM-4G and took him out. I tried to attack a fourth bandit but he was faster than me and I didn’t want to spoil the fuel so I gave up and called for Kelly to form up. We went to Twenthe and once there we saw heavy AAA firing at us. Kelly broke up and I did two passes over the airfield and a show of force over the city, flying between the high towers. We set a course back home and the AAA fired at us until we were far enough. I did a good approach and landing but Kelly did three landing patterns because he stayed with me while I was landing and then he did a missed approach. The third one was the good one. I suspect him that it was on purpose to lengthen up his flying time. I shot down 2 Il-28 Beagle but Kelly missed a Yak-28 Brewer.

Cdt Virginie Guyot : "Unacceptable, there's a stain on your shoe." Let's go!

She's a fighter pilot for 10 years and she flyed the Mirage F1-CR. She has participated in operatons in Chad, Darfur, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. It seems to be the first time that a woman lead a military aerobatic team. My guess is they were talking about the tarmac quality because it was a former military base with a 4000m long runway but nowadays only 1400m is in good condition for take off and landing.

19th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/20/68 Take off : 10.17 – Landing : 11.28 Target : Spangdahlem, Intercept 3 Il-28 Crab 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Crab 12 : 2Lt Billy Pickett Crab 13 : Capt Clifton Massen Crab 14 : 1Lt Edward Thomas Report : Yesterday I was complaining about long range intercept and today our neighbors from Bitburg-Büchel-Pferdsfeld need some protection. Four aircrafts on alert this time. We took off and we did a good job with the tactical control to perform the intercept on time. They were Il-28s and as soon as I was in range for a Falcon launch I slowed down to avoid catching them up. They were also two F-4 (Memphis flight) chasing them so they didn’t have much chance to escape. I launched my first AIM-4F and after a long flight it shot down the bomber. I made another lock and fired again, no success. I switched to the IRM but one of the Memphis guy was ahead of me. So I waited to be sure and when I saw the Phantom out of the missile envelope I launched the Falcon. Yes! Another one’s down. But there still was a bomber on his way. Keeping a safety distance from his tail guns I followed him knowing that my wingmen will be wise and stay clear from him. He made a U turn and I passed far away above him, not losing sight from a board to the other. Then I completed my turn to engage him once again. I heard Memphis 12 calling for help and saw the damaged Phantom drawing a black line of smoke, they were too close and must have been hit by the gunner, too bad. I launched the last IRM but it went wide. I climbed to regain enough distance to launch the SuperFalcon. I dived once again, made a lock and launched the missile. The Beagle was turning but the AIM-26B followed him and shot him down. And then I saw two of my wingmen breaking up from the bomber. Those damn idiots were following him and didn’t managed to shoot him before I did, I can’t believe it… We RTBed without problem, except my lousy navigation and a real bad approach. The plane is ok, only my self esteem is a bit bend. We were told later that a fourth Beagle was damaged by the Phantoms but get back home behind its lines. I wished we were able to take him out too.

Sorry Lt, I don't know about offsite screenshots, I delete mine. Slarti, Bruce's death reminds me my flying skill ;) 18th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/19/68 Take off : 9.17 – Landing : 10.34 Target : Rostock, Intercept 2 Yak-28 Ramrod 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Ramrod 12 : 2Lt Kelly Wells Report : We took off to intercept an enemy raid over Rostock, far to the north. I don’t like that kind of long range intercept but we went to make it. In fact, it was a total failure. We climbed to level 30 to be fast and save some fuel. Once again we were late but this time I didn’t make any error. The enemy bombers drop their ordinance and we were told to RTB. That’s what we did. (almost) On the way back, I missed the WP and we had to circle to make a nice pattern entering. 2Lt Wells show me once again his ability to keep a tight formation while I was searching my way. Debriefing was loud, we failed the intercept and some SAM launches were reported. I don’t understand, we didn’t see anything… (Personal notes : like two days before, I thought that it was weird to cross the whole Germany and not to attempt a victory while there were bandits wandering less than 5 miles ahead. I had a lock and launched an AIM-4F and an AIM-26B. Both of them went down. Ramrod 12 told me he wasn’t able to engage and my second AIM-4F shot down the Yak-28. I chased another bomber, heading to the east, but he was quite fast, so I cranked up full AB. I tried to take him out with an AIM-4G without result. I realized soon that there were another bandit flying lower 1.5 miles ahead and I launched my last AIM-4G. The bandit was blown up right in front of me and I passed just underside the pilot who ejected successfully. I asked Ramrod 12 to engage a bandit on port and Kelly answered “Roger”. I was trying to watch at Kelly’s attack when somebody called “SAM launch”. Not here… Nothing on my left, nothing on my right, F…! It’s coming right at me from 12 o’clock! It’s damn close!!! I dived nose down trying not to forget I was flying only ~1500ft high and not to loose consciousness while my blood was rushing to my head blinding my eyes. Not too much, not too much, I must straighten up NOW! I leveled 400ft high above the german countryside, seeing the smoke trail of the SAM right above me… I asked Kelly to join up and set a course to Wiesbaden. I checked the map and, as I was heading to enemy bases, we went to the west before we left the danger area and climbed to level 10, RTB.)

Hey Stingray, you're a 1st class Ram Slarti, it's good to see you back in flight. 17th mission Capt Sean Rosewood 87th FIS, Wiesbaden-Erbenheim – F-106A Delta Dart 11/17/68 Take off : 0.33 – Landing : 01.16 Target : Erding, Intercept 2 Yak-28 Denver 11 : Capt Sean Rosewood Denver 12 : 2Lt Norman Howerton Report : That night I was on alert with Norman. And this time they went out. Intercept near Erding air base. It’s quite a long run and I don’t like that. We took off full AB. My first mistake was to lock on “something” that wasn’t our target, once again. Control told us our interception course but it took few minutes for them to answer because there were many flights calling, and I went a little to the north to keep the lock. Then, we arrive near Erding and I slowed down to manage fuel consumption. A moment later control asked us to hurry as the target, a flight of bombers was reaching Erding perimeter. I pushed hard full AB, but it was too late. The two Yak-28 dropped their bombs over Erding. I had a lock on them but we were too far to launch our missiles. The call from control was explicit “RTB immediately”. It was too much asking. I reached minimum launching range and fired two AIM-4Fs. After a flight of thirty seconds, the Falcon hit the Yak-28. Few seconds later I shot my third AIM-4F and an AIM-26B and the wingman was downed too. We went back to Wiesbaden. Discussing simply as friends, Norman explained to me that theoretically we wasn’t supposed to shoot at those bandits but nobody blamed me for that, we were criticized for our slowness.

Ok j'ai Paint.net, maintenant il faut que j'apprenne à m'en servir. On peut faire des décals avec? Concernant le Mirage IV, je suis à deux doigts de me dire qu'il vaut mieux refaire le modèle 3D, mais là c'est plus la même histoire. La galère, c'est les trains qui ne sont pas articulés, les boogies des trains principaux et du coup, les roues du nez ne touchent pas le sol... Sinon on ne peut pas animer les volets pour le tanguage et le roulis, il faut choisir... "As it is" comme souvent en aéronautique Et puis ça oblige à se débrouiller, on apprend plus du coup... ...à condition de retrouver le post super intéressant, avec l'astuce qu'il faut, mais qu'on retrouve plus. J'ai lu pour le MiG-21 que l'on pouvait ajouter une ligne dans le dossier Data.ini pour donner un angle quand l'avion est au sol. Le Mirage IV en aurait besoin. Ca dit quelque chose à quelqu'un?

It's "weird", when you have to guess about things you didn't created. _
