RAF Akrotiri, Araxos Greece 2nd pack idea
Posted: 19 Nov 2013, 09:32
RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus might be a good idea for a retro package.
I had done one myself for my own use, using Ito, Alpha, and some other a/c for AI, and had them flying from Akrotiri to Paphos and Crete as AI, using the stock scenery. It was nice to use as I flew from Akrotiri to Paphs 36 miles west, and landed and watch my AI coming in to land at Paphos from Akrotiri. Some a/c were off to Egypt, a few to Lebanon, and some to Athens. I do not have that pack I made now in use, though I may have it on disc. If I remember correctly I also had Greek F-84's coming in from Crete to land, and a few Canberras, a Javeliin or two, Lightnings, Sea Vampires and Vampires etc. My pack was not authentic re choice of a/c, but I loved doing it and seeing the AI.
John Young has many of the AI a/c needed--great work.
I am willing to do the research and find a period in past time where the AI a/c to use would be available already.
What do you think?
I can start research right off and also do some basic flight plans.
Also, re Greece, another pack can be done using the Olympos and Tiger F-104 special schemes painted by Nick Manousakis, now retired, and who is a close friend of mine --we drink coffee about once a week. He is the one who designed and painted those two one-off special schemes for the F-104 and the real a/c now are in the Dekeleia Tatoi Museum. Nick will give me correct info on the units at the point in time. He also has a book we can consult that I have.
I can do research for the Araxos pack also.
There is an F-104 for AI use in some of Klaus Jones's sceneries for German airbases.
Your suggestions, please.
