I know. I was not quite serious. I just enjoyed scoping out the scale of the problem, since I discovered how to search a single web domain yesterday (e.g. site:ww2.dk Tu-16). Maybe Badger fans can see something of particular interest in the list, or maybe present day H-6 would be more manageable: a ...

I can't recreate a retro Soviet Air Force and all it's bases....

John

Booooooooooooooo

For Soviet badgers Menno has some of the last of their air bases in his Warsaw Pack pack: Khvalynha, Zavitinsk, Zyabrovka(Gomel), Bila Tserkva. From http://www.ww2.dk/new/newindex.htm , there were others :-) 5th Guards Maritime Missile Aviation Regiment Veseloye, Crimean Oblast [45 34 41N, 34 16 45E...

For reference, seven H-6 bases are listed here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_P ... e_airbases

Apart from Luhe/Ma'an, Winfried Orthman has created basic FSX afcads for them.

Thanks Jim, the idea is growing on me every time I see a favourable post. I'm knee deep in KC-10A painting at the moment, but I'll do some research on a potential "Russian" package when I get those done. John My fingers are crossed John. For reference, I came across a few photos I hadn't ...

Jim, they made 435 according to Wikki. Interesting project, but like the Meteor, where would you put them? Is there enough interest across 3 sim versions? John I'm delighted that you are even considering this John! Yeah, more than I thought but just two models: armed and not... probably since their...

I know this does not tick your usual boxes John, but how could you resist this challenge? Back in the day, this was the most exotic and mysterious grainy pictured beastie in my Ian Allen aircraft recognition book. The exotic, beautiful, mad-mental, Buck Rodgers fighter... the Yak-28p Firebar!!! A Me...

Sorry,
Just noticed the link to the German forum in the readme. Doh!

Jim

Cheers Dan!

I'm on the hunt airfields again.
Please can you tell me what airfields are represented by ETGW and ETSG in the Su-17 flightplans?

Jim

Hi Francesco,

I can see it in "JYAI Custom Scenery Objects_FSX.BGL" in my "MAIW_GLOBAL_OBJECTS_CUSTOM" folder installed with Matrix. The object is called "Rub 35M closed closed".

Jim

Don't want to take this thread off-track, but I've been experimenting with my parking (no-pushback nodes, etc.) and more importantly found I missed some taxi hold points on my LKZC/LKBC uploads there. Turns out even runway exits need them to generate "clear of runway" calls to let others l...

You're welcome Dan,

I'd never have found Zatec without that code, so many retro bases have/had none.

I can't do parking yet. I don't want to derail your thread, but if somebody could point me to a nice example... e.g. how the feck do you get a MiG to reverse into a HAS?

Jim

Thanks Dan & Matt for the Czechoslovak packages. Much appreciated! For the Mig-21s, I cannot find LKBC or LKZC scenery and don't see them in P3D stock, so I knocked up my own afcads. LKBC is still there on Google Maps, but I had to rely on https://www.mil-airfields.de/cz-czech-republic/zatec-let...

Ha! I've now attained the level of expertise of producing nothing, but being able to pick holes in other peoples great work

Cheers!

Hi Martin, You hate me right?

Viewing these with AI-Aircraft Editor, the textures are missing on these...

MPAI_Mirage_5SDD_Egypt AF_2001 thru 2006 (Aircraft.cfg entries 559-564)

I can't see why.

Jim

Sorry Martin,

Just found some opaque canopies (using AI-Aircraft Editor).

MPAI_Mirage_IIIEBR_Early_FAB_4901 thru 4908

Aircraft.cfg entries 324-331.

Jim

I did not see any problems apart from 401-403 Martin.

At the time I'd not looked at the retro versions, that's all.

Thanks again!
Jim

Thanks for all your conversions Martin,

A possible wee bug for you though...
The F-21A models have blacked-out canopies. (I have only looked at ATAC, Colombia & Sri-Lanka.)

I made them transparent using ModelConverterX, but I dunno if that is all that is required?

Jim

Thanks Miljan!

One wee error I think though? The P3D texture for Su-25UB #002 has number 254 painted on it.

For myself, I just converted the FS9 texture for #002 to .dds and that works fine.

Jim

A 90-odd post tease! Well worth the wait Manschy. Cheers!
