My response to a question about East German units, got me a number of replies asking if I would share my files.
I will have to order the files, but then I will upload them to the library.
This project started some time ago, after I visited Šiauliai airbase (Lithuania), and was wondering why I never started a retro project for easter Europe, because I did so much for western Europe. After Michael Pearson made most of the Mig's and Tupolev's available I had a look at AVSIMRUS and Serchy's models. After collecting most aircraft, I went for the airbases.
As most airbases are long time gone,it was difficult to find good information on all of them. In the end I had to make some choices, and I decided to leave a few airbases out of the project as it would be to much work, and by then it was still for personal use.
Some airbases never had any ICAO codes, and I had to make them up, this might conflict with work made by others, but so be it.
This project will include:
- Polish Air Force
- Air Force of the Hungarian People's Army
- Czechoslovak Air Force
- Air Forces of the National People's Army (DDR)
- Soviet Air Forces in eastern Europe and western Russia
including: Kaliningrad, Ukraine, Belarus,Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and the DDR.
- Soviet long range aviation, including pacific bases.
For some aircraft I made some basic repaints, for others I used what came with the model, or with repaints made by various people. You can alter the flightplans for your own repaints, I will include the raw files for that.
This project will fill the skies with all those beautifull Soviet aircraft. Don't be surprised when you find a TU-95 making a visit to Cuba or Angola, or transport aircraft in Africa. And don't forget Cam Ranh Base Vietnam. Il-96's will make visits to different countries, including Andrews AFB.
I will keep you updated,
Menno
I was asked if i could make the textures for a new model that is still WIP, here is a preview.
