Since there is a Delta wing mirage topic...We can have a Phantom topic too - just because it is cooler than deltas... Rules: - Phantom on Fridays only. - so no Phantoms on other days than Friday. One picture per user and only on Fridays. Let's bring the best of aviation in one picture. Sorry for strict rules but Spook deserves it. - no discussions, asking, quoting, chatting, etc. there are other places to talk. - NO for what if skins, rogues, mercenaries, pirates, etc... - ok for phantoms that never were...produced, prototypes, etc... Eventually if one of the Administrators will visit this place please clean up inappropriate jabbering. Thanks in advance. If this topic is inappropriate please close.

yup..and AI can usually land this birds. One thing though, Yes all those special ultra uber jayhawk, pavehawks, blisters and whistlers are cool. In fact any CSAR ( I mean saving lives not taking them) is way much cooler than any fighter jet. But for sure some old farts here would appreciate clean and slick UH-60A placed somewhere in 80s. edit: Ok now I can see L.... well this one is clean but A. is classic

and those missiles on the turret...yeah it will be madness believe me.. And there is no way to work it properly. You can make some walkarounds....check BMP-1P or BMP-2....This is the point where I gave up...anyway, the moment I fly I stick to the cockpit view. But yes when testing and just watching battleground...small things are annoying.

ALl those yaw, pitch movements are related to the model (the easy part) as you have to set all axes correctly in 3d program, and to data ini. (pain in the a*s part) as sometimes you have to make "fake" components in data to have multiple turrets, independent movements, etc. Somehow it is hard for me to explain how you should exactly proceed. I have learned everything based on trial and error path. Not like I do not want to share my knowledge, just that there are many things you have to pay attention to, needless to say I would know where to start explaining. I still struggle when making some ground object mods - that is why I always refer to older working mods or simply to mods of others and then modify and test...You would not believe how many things guuruu improved just by - "let's check what this will do" If you check my BMPs from my Bonanza pack you will have a quite good idea of how things work. as for the rockets, missile launchers always have to face "front" of the vehicle (even if it is wrong for a model it does not matter - the game will fix everything - data ni (yaw/pitch angle rate, default angles, yaw/pitch limits etc)

Although I am not entirely at liberty to release this...as it is based on a joint venture project also, I would prefer first, to finish the cockpit for it (and other zippers)... and some mingling with TMF... the new cockpit would be a challenge - and I have already a lot of challenges at the moment...so this is a very slow-cook project. and my very old project...somewhere I mentioned that I work on something with a name containing F and 8...(not F-8) Stary made a cockpit so in that matter it is "easy peasy" I also started Drakken a long time ago...but other more interesting projects came by then. Although I get past the wing section already.. But those are not 2-week projects. So if someone is in a hurry for a new model... I do not know how others work, but for me, every model is becoming very personal, I really need to read whatever books are available on aircraft ( which means sometimes I need to ask a lot of favors from family and friends to go "dig in old books" purchase and ship it to my place. Not to mention getting manuals and reading them back-to-back to understand how it all works when building a cockpit model. Then It is a pure pleasure to work on a model. Yes, you can buy a ready model (or download it free) and bing-bong-ta-da-dum export it for game standards. But this is not the same. And I always hope that the end user (player) will see the difference. live long and prosper.

That reminded me of my commitment to finish Trent Meteor...

Lancaberra or Canbester.

Is that a Cadnav free model?

meanwhile somewhere in the cold North...

Oh, man. I love that one. I am not going to say no. This is a lovely helicopter, and I am definitely going to make one. One day. I belive It is I prefer to pick my projects according to my whims...If I run into some obstacle or bored with something I move to another (often older projects). Recently I have been in an early jet era...so something with F and 8 in name might pop up one day. As for helos, I am sitting in short-bodied hueys now. And still doing some Intruder stuff. But as always it is all about that artificial construct called time.

View File Sabre Dogs - In USAF service. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. A fake pilot is required to run this mod. New model of F-86D and L as used by USAF. Set includes 3 variants which in the game you will find under the prefix *USAF. F-86D-25 Sabre Dog -early variant without assisting drag chute (Block 10-40). most of them were later upgraded to D-45 standard - (block D-16-46) It is named here D-25- - despite differences in block builds 25 was the first to introduce external fuel tanks and was a baseline for further blocks. F-86D-45 Sabre Dog -drag chute equipped variant - (Block 45-60) Named D-45 as it was the first of the line with drag chute housing and some other minor modifications. F-86L-61 Lima Dog - L model - upgraded airframes with data link SAGE system (not in-game) and 6-3 wings. All are rebuilds of D models - (Block 11-60) All skins are in 3072x3072 format. Skins represent all squadrons (71) but three*, USAF Interceptor squadrons that ever used F-86D/L All squadrons have set skins to StartDefaultDate= into a period that particular model/paint scheme was used. * I did not include 3 squadrons as I was not able to find any single reference photo (probably no special markings were used as those squadrons lived for only a few months, but still reference would matter to me) Because this mod was evolving through time, I was not entirely sure how I was going to proceed. So some squadrons have correct serial numbers for a particular year, Others use decals from three decal folders representing airframes build- blk45-50, blk 55-60 and L blk11-61. Some aircraft have some special markings (C.O. stripes etc.) and some have nosearts. Since the serial numbers list is always around 600 airframes it will appear on proper aircraft, You just have to find them in game. I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea. There is a small ini change in the cockpit and avionics ini. I changed a little angle of the radar scope. It uses only the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rocket as a weapon. And yes it is possible to fight enemy bombers. Additionally, I added a special "weapon" for D-45 - that will be loaded automatically after 1956 - 'F-86D_sugarscoops' the same as on the L model introduced to remaining D airframes. This is just a visual upgrade, not really a weapon. Credits: The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.

Green Mountains 1956. 37th FIS.

only sam_radars works properly with sam_launcher (given the proper NetworkType). But EWR is random madness.

about those Patriot operators...Does it matter in the game after all? I thought the game was only recognizing Red or Blue, friendly or enemy.

View File Sabre Dogs - In Far East Asia Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. A fake pilot is required to run this mod. New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force. Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one. In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed. Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does. Credits.

Back to McGhee-Tyson. 1954.

this is so good

yes, it is happening to me sometime, but not in all mods.I have one screenshot folder - where all mods are pooping screenshots, It hapend sometimes but mostly from ODS30AE are "damaged", never in my Vietnam mod neither European theater mod, Number of screenshots has nothing to do (in my opinion) as I often clear that folder and I suffer that issue with empty folder too. It might be something with general memory but (ODS30AE in my version is quite huge and heavy) but I fail to see why memory would be an issue.. I thought it was happening only to me and my overloaded mods, As I can not help you, one things cheers me up - I am not alone.

Maybe this is not a good place to talk about it, but I feel it is necessary to point out some things and misconceptions about Fishbed. According to the discussion from the screenshot thread: Those are not gun blast protection plates, The Instruction, and technical manual clearly state what it is. During production of the 21 many changes were made on the production line - and then some of the changes were retrofitted to previously produced types. One of those changes was adding a small fence under the auxiliary air intake under the cockpit on both sides of the fuselage. Unfortunately "gun blast" myth started in the wets long ago by so-called experts - claiming that plates protect engine from gun blasts. They are FOD protection of the engine on take-off, landing, and taxing from anything from the nose gear. I think in the manual it is called Взлётная створка воздухозаборника - or something like that....FOD plates are installed between the 9th and 10th fuselage frame to protect against ingesting foreign objects into air channels. Auxiliary intakes themselves are operated by pressure differences outside and inside the air intake channels. Those covers in the intakes would never be open when a gun is firing. Auxiliary intake doors are there to relieve pressure difference and provide additional airflow to the engine on take-off and landing (low speed). On the inside lip of intakes, there is a seal that makes them completely tight, but only under pressure. Because doors are simply hinged, on the ground those intake doors would never be completely closed and there is a small around 1 cm gap. In-flight they close totally with the pressure inside the air duct forcing them to the outside surface of the fuselage. So during the flight - when you are firing a gun - the doors are completely closed. It is not usual to fire a 23mm gun on the ground with a running engine while you are on the airfield surrounded by ground crew, aircraft, and vehicles. So there is little chance of any gun gases coming into the intake and damaging the engine. And yes, those plates can be observed on two-seaters too - which has no gun, and at some point, plates were retrofitted to older models, that is why when there is confusion it is "better" to address them by "factory given name" designation. F - prod.72 F-13 - prod. 74 PF - prod. 76 FL - prod.77 - export version of PF PFM- product 94 (изделие 94) and type 94N for a nuclear strike capable model. R- prod.94R M- prod.96, MF- prod 96A , but there are also export variants that also had different designations like 96A00 etc... SPS system (blown flaps) was introduced when PF and PFM were in service already. I guess countries were adding local names to an existing fleet of 21 to avoid confusion. However SPS is not an official MIG-21 subtype. In Poland, we had PF and PFM but unofficially PFM was called SPS just because it was the first to have that system installed. And yes East Germany had a strange way of dealing with designations - here PFM has nothing to do with soviet PFM - as it was PF modified with RP-21 radar....East German PFM is izd.76A while "true" PFM is izd.94 (including early production of PFS. Then izd.94A in German service was SPS.

Oi! One screenshot rule still applies! Only Ravenclaw and Sundowner can bend the rules. They are known as Phantoms.
