This is all pretty awesome! What about when an aircraft is damaged? Cause in my mind I would only do a belly landing If my landing gear is shot to pieces... does the skid still work of the aircraft is damaged?

Haha I still have SFP1 and Vietnam in the original cases!

Got shot up pretty good by some 57 MM over Al-Basrah but the trusty J-79 let me still fly! My wingman decided to abandon me but thankfully some F-14's chased away some Floggers who smelled blood in the water... Gingerly flew back by F-4 to a forward base in Dezful... Lowered the gears and realized my nosewheel was gone haha!

I apologize for wasting everyone's time I have found the answer... in case anyone else was wondering here is the link http://combatace.com/topic/45551-activating-trim-and-how-to-map-it-to-a-controller/

Does anyone know if the SF series has trimming? I feel like this could help when flying with asymmetrical loads or trying to bring a battle damaged bird home. Also just ups the realism

Put a more experienced pilot in the #4 slot or a pilot that is a higher rank than the #3 and tell the entire flight to engage air targets and he should (usually) break away from his section leader and engage

The Campaigns have been totally redone for the Angola/SouthWest Afrika terrain! Just waiting on approval from the admins... I wasnt so skilled at creating campagins on the first go around so hopefully this one fixes any issues you have have had! Thanks for the support and answering all my dumb questions! haha

Hey CA! I had a quick question about the ZSU-23 and ZU-23 guns... Seems they will only shoot when an airplane flies super low and super slow over them... Any way to make them shoot more often are farther targets? Also what package has the best AAA effects? I recall one mod having custom airburst sounds for different AAA guns ie a small popping sounds for 23mm with whitish/grey bursts. I accidentally overwrote these while messing with my effects folder and now I cant find these cool effects anymore... seemed to really add some variety when you could tell what was shooting at you

Haha I enjoy working on the stuff in my down time I have created some sets of targets and a types.ini that REALLY speeds things up haha Its too bad centurion's stuff is lost...

Hey Stratos do you want to PM me a copy of the Peru map? I can hopefully help out with finishing it off like I did with Angola!

Well not to worry Viggen I have 4 iran Iraq Campaigns already! 1- Project Dark Gene/Project Ibex- A long running low intensity campaign meant to be a semi fictional scenario of 1970-1979 border skirmishes with Iraq as well as Classified USAF and CIA recon flights over the Soviet Union for probing air defenses... Because the terrain doesnt encompass the Southern Border of the Soviet Union I simply pivoted the operation 90 degrees to Northern Iraq with Soviet interceptors 2- Iraqi Invasion of Iran, surprise attack low supply levels for Iran low replacement times on ground units, aircraft and weapons lasts till 1982 3- War of the Cities/Tanker War- LOTS of interdiction type missions hitting SCUDs, Oil Terminals, oil fields, lots of anti shipping missions. Iran is better supplied with a new Squadron of F-4D's bought from South Korea, weapon/aircraft replacement is higher but a lack of pilots. Ground war is a stalemate. (Contemplating adding a squadron of Saudi F-15s as a surprise addition for interceptions only. 1982-1987 4- End Game (Not sure what to name this one)- Iranian units reenergized for large offensive to end the war. Iraqi forces are depleted after losing a lot of soviet support. Su-24's introduced to Iraqi airforce

haha thanks wrench! but what I meant was did the model come from a website or was it taken from the DCS files?

where did the model come from?

The missions history forgot... Project Dark Gene Imperial Iranian Air Force RF-4E's and USAFE RF-4C's streaking across Iraqi and Soviet air defenses

Yes play with those values and stick it in the flight folder thats how I increased the distance! Just remember its in meters if i recall correctly

Awesome thanks guys!

Hey guys! I am 99% done with a revamped Iran-Iraq terrain with blaze and have moved into making some campaigns for the area... at the moment I'm working on a 1970-79 semi fictionalized Dark Gene campaign on the terrain and need a USAF RF-4C and RB-57 I haven't been able to find one is there one availible here at CA?? Thanks!

ahah yep! layers and eraser tool on low opacity!

Well Ifound that the source of my issue is F4 drop tank LOD files ahah

awesome thanks!

Hey guys! In working on the new Iran Iraq terrains and campaigns I have been plagued by game crashes where the game gets stuck in the loading screen but all the sounds of the mission start up... its like everything is running but the screen is stuck... anyone know a fix for this? Is there a way to slow the Loading process so that things dont get skipped over or improperly loaded?

thanks raven

I'm already implementing more true to life loadouts for the Iran-Iraq campaign and terrain I'm working on with Blaze... problem is practicality in games... having no ECM/Chaff/flares make flying over the front line impossible without getting shot down haha

Well different bombs and missiles have different amounts of time they take before being "Locked" onto the target

Iran-Iraq War campaign testing! Flying over the destroyed Khorramshahr ship yard and attacking ships before their cargo falls into iraqi hands... got my tail shot off by an Iraqi MiG-23MS but thankfully brought the precious and Phabulous LGB carrying phantom home
