  1. Clearly I am going to have to replace and add some aircraft. Especially after this: New ETA of a beta is late June...
  2. PS - I also mentioned in an earlier update about "WHAT IF". Let me update that list a bit: "WHAT IF" Also I've had some ideas of some "What If" scenarios that will be uploaded separately. Scenarios like: What if there was a JMSDF AEGIS destroyer helping cover the cargo ships getting away from the Kurils? What if that same JMSDF Aegis Destroyer was returning when the Russians mounted their alpha strike, lending its significant SAM battery to the fight? What if a JASDF F-4 Phantom attempted a photo recon run of Russian ships? How close could it get before getting shot down, even with say... F-2A and/or F-15J escort? What if the JASDF bought from the RAAF as an interim strike-fighter the... RAAF F-111. To keep the F-111 airworthy for 10-15 years until sufficient F-35As would come online, the F-111 would be only for maritime strike and maritime reconnaissance with a Japanese F-2A radar & such to support the latest JASDF weapons. Rarely flown as the F-111s serve as JASDF's "big stick" against invasion attempts of its outlying islands to replace the F-1 + F-4 + a significant number of F-2Bs destroyed in the 2011 tsunami at a bargain basement cost. What if the Russians somehow got their Kirov-class Battlecruiser in Pacific Fleet reserve status into the fight... What if the Japan Coast Guard was more engaged...
  3. I think we're due for another update. Some of this is very much the "Do Admin" of "Fly-Fight-Do Admin" mentioned in one of my favourite books. But here we go. New Mission - A Mission 00 If You Will... Just got my hands on a trawler that can serve as a nice prequel, a provocateur. Really basic and not "The Battle of Hokkaido" but a good way to get started. Here are some preview screens: The Intro I've gone ahead and decided to call relatively done the intro to this mission pack. Here is that intro: So there's your geopolitical backdrop. Another New Mission... There's going to be a wild F-2A mission that involves a surface action group and also some air-to-air action. By the time this mission takes place, the Japanese Prime Minister has authorized an exclusion zone around Kunashir & Shikotan Islands to reduce the risk of invasion & further violent action against Hokkaido residents. Here's a few screenies: Stay tuned... more to come.

  4. C-130H JASDF

    JosefK reviewed WhiteBoySamurai's file in C-130

    This is a nice, realistic repaint pak of the JASDF's C-130s. Certainly a must-have for immersion.
    I sincerely appreciate this modern addition to SF2. They are good support aircraft to help write missions with. I've had this aircraft for a while and sorry I didn't write a review sooner. However I wish I could zoom out more. Some requisite screenies:
  6. Or try to take off before RBK-500s break open from Su-57s...
  7. Hey @russouk2004 how are you coming on the Predator? Maybe this autumn?

  8. J-31 (Bandidos) For SF2?

    JosefK commented on a file in J Type Other

    Thanks, this is one jet make that could use a SF2 from SF1 portover.
  9. Thanks for all your hard work, but the pilot is... a black dude. Not an issue if USAF or USN or USMC, but... Russian? Clearly this series is going to be well worth the wait. I can see this jet sneaking up to smack down AWACS and Patriot SAMS very easily.
  10. I sure like that idea... piracy and poaching on the high seas escalating quickly to this:
  11. Whatever ship that is, I want it @guuruu. For now...
  12. @FLOGGER23, @russouk2004 take all the time you need. Grateful; JOE
  13. Rad, way better effects @ravenclaw_007. Wish you could drop one on the lab that created Covid19. But for now, this will have to do for a screenshot showing just how ineffective flak is:

  14. B61 Nuclear Bomb Pack

    JosefK commented on ravenclaw_007's file in Weapon Packs

    Thanks, just what 2020 needs... nuclear weapons proliferation!
  15. Thanks for doing the Su-57! The -34 is worth a long wait...
  16. I know it's technically Monday in my time zone, but gotta share how damn useless it is to have a Su-27 loiter over a convoy on patrol... HELLO, I just sunk the Krivak and the cargo ship placed in trail. You'd think this guy who had his wingman shot down earlier would be on the hunt but no... OF course Su-35s on an essential SEAD mission were easy fodder. I mean I was down low, on the deck and got super close, fired off my AAM-5s and then slid in behind to gun down the other two. With two IR bombs still on the wings!
  17. Very busy this past week, but working on a quick mission to whack a surface supply group: Leaving home base... C-130s on a resupply mission An E-767 on patrol providing AWACS services. ASM-2 ejected from the launch rail a bit over 50 NM from the target ASM-2 igniting for a target A tactical view of events - and obviously this is an in-development screenie. Krivak-class Frigate moving ahead of a cargo ship, picking up ASM-2s inbound ASM-2 headed for an escort Krivak launching a SAM at a SSM Down goes the Krivak! A most inglorious end...
  18. A few thoughts: 1) You are aware there's a modern Flanker cockpit out there? 2) Any hope of a paint kit? 3) What's your next project @frtn? Su-57? Su-34? Truly grateful you're back and at it!

  19. SU-30SM

    JosefK commented on frtn's file in Modern Soviet Aircraft

    Nice, a new Flanker to play with...
  20. I had to chuckle at this masquerade attempt, sorry. So obviously a MiG-23 somehow in USAF service.

  21. RCAF Snowbird plane crashed in Kamloops, BC

    JosefK replied to 1977Frenchie's topic in The Pub

    Needless to say, this will be all over the Canadian news media Facebook streams: I hope for those of us from Canada and the US who've gone to airshows the past few years we'll make the time to watch and remember.
  22. Agreed. I've been saying for a while we need Bal-E & Bastion-P coastal missile trucks. Plus an A-222 Bereg coastal arty gun.
  23. How about the Starstreak?

  24. Humpday Heavies

    JosefK replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots

    An E-767 on patrol at 32,000 feet....

  25. RCAF Snowbird plane crashed in Kamloops, BC

    JosefK replied to 1977Frenchie's topic in The Pub

    I had to pop on the CKNW to rebut a person troubled about the Vancouver airshow. 1:50 of https://omny.fm/shows/steele-drex/snowbird-tribute-and-whether-or-not-it-is-worth-th#sharing
