Thanks TF!

Looks like I don't need to alter the runway or main taxiways. I can see some clues that the southern area was military, so will place some hangars there and alter the parking to get those 12 Mirages in there

Jim

Does anyone have scenery for Manises air base? Or drawings/photos before the air force withdrew so I can make a retro afcad? I've no idea where to park Mirages at LEVC from current aerial views.

Jim

Real world I know, but USAF's 84-0192 had an emergency of some sort after take off from Prestwick this morning. Back on the ground now. (search ROMA91 squawk 7700)

This is maybe the time to share. Some of you know the nice people from the DDR Flugzeug Forum. They have provided me with the whole range of their (mostly) DDR bases to host them here at MAIW. They are all FS9, but if the authors credentials are given correctly, they might be converted to FSX/P3D. ...

I don't have a North American retro setup, but I'm going to have to get some Orcas visiting Europe!

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....

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.

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.
