Volkel Airforce Base AI
Hi all,
I am new on the board but just wanted to show you allready some screens of an AI I am working on together with my mate (known here as Superbuggz). I got him crazy enough to make repaints of about 70 F-16's as they flew from Volkel in the late 80's.
I have just finished the AFCAD, exclude file and working hard on the flightplans. Please take a look at the pics and let me know if you like it.
Best regards,
Arjan

Hi Greg,
That's mutual....allthough I hope good stories only.
I'm finishing the freqs on Volkel and some last taxiways.
Allready have the flightplans for 306 Squadron. 311 and 312 still needs to be done.
I also moved some Vipers to Goose Bay to ease of the density at the base. The Dutch Airforce (KLu) always maintained detachments of Vipers at Goose Bay in those days.
Best regards,
Arjan

All the aircraft (and a few more, except for 1 special) are ready, but Arjan still has a couple of things to do like enhancing the scenery part and finalising the flightplans etc, but we've come a long way
here's an easter egg which you might run into;
Besides this, we are working on some more projects, keywords for some are Wolfhounds and NF-5s, so be prepared for some serious 70's and 80's action !!
And Greg, be prepared for some "neighbour" action, but don't start to complain about the noise !!

Oh yes, there are certainly are some Vipers going to Belgium. Bevekom, KB, Florennes....
And I must not forget to carefull check the outfitting of those birds. A "clean" F-16 on a flight to Orland in Norway doesn't make much sense.
Will keep you posted!

About time you got off that lazy butt !.......Thud wrote:What!!!!! Do I have to make so many flightplans? Bye bye spare time.
Haha...well we'll make them..it will be busy over the Vliehors and Jackpot ranges!
And no worries Greg, we won't be causing you a burn-out, btw, thanks for spreading the AI virus towards us !!

I got of that "lazy"butt and finished the flightplans for the single seat Vipers. Only have to do the F-16B's (about ten of them) and finishing the parking specs and afcad. Shouldn't take to long now but do try to give the flightplans a realistic look on the operations.
Some teasers;
Tuesday 13:30h lt. The tower told the C-160 better not to throttle up and hold. Otherwise a F-16 kill mark would have looked nice underneath the cockpit window. As you can see the planes aren't tied up to their correct identity yet. The J635 is about to take off to Zweibreucken together with the J628. The J870 and J876 are both to depart to Leeuwarden Air Force Base. The J879 will make a run on the range on the small Vlieland Island.
A RAF Jaguar rolling on to the runway. The 879 just started it's take off.
Tugged in on the wing of the J879 (yeah, I know it's the 643 but see the earlier remark) towards the range somewhere near the IJsselmeer. The 870 can be seen on her way to Leeuwarden.
Banking away from the island of Vlieland away from the range. Unfortunetaly not visible, will see if can make some scenery. The range is called Vliehors by the local people but is called the Cornfield range by the military. From above the color of the sand resembled much of a cornfield............and that even without too much booze!
Just returned base from our mission to the Cornfield and the Jag is resting on the Safaripark.
Enjoy.........

The NL2000 scenery is not really up to my taste, to put it that way and the newly released Holland scenery is to hard for my laptop.
I know that this isn't the best scenery either, but it will work, look like Volkel (I will probably update the scenery once with HAS etc.) and stuffed to the throat with F-16's........

Creating our own package allows us to date-back the scenery to the era of our pack, in this case approx 1989. NL2000 is a great project, a thing we could never(?) achieve ourselves, but as Arjan already mentioned, it doesn't appeal to us as we intend to beef up the airfield with all kinds of military airport related stuff like HAS shelters, ground equipment etc., just the way we have in mind.e.daalder wrote:This is a nice package Thud. Are you planning to make a version that is compatable with the NL2000 scenery? In this scenery you have al the dutch military airfield in great detail so why create your own?
Looking forward to your package
Edwin
But feel free to run this side-by-side with the NL2000 (if/when possible).
Project still very much under construction. Arjan works his butt off on the AFCADs, flightplans etc., and I'm working on the aircraft, including the various rotations that took place during that year.
And especially of interest to you Edwin, one of the plans on our shelves is to create a "De Kooy" package too, but first we need to master AI Helicopter movements.....
