The Polish Air Force Project
Posted: 12 Mar 2014, 03:46
After getting my feet wet with some older projects, I looked up and saw that I already had half of the airfields of the Polish Air Force sitting on my computer, unfinished. Easily distracted, I decided to make that project be my trial by fire instead of releasing other projects piecemeal. So with that said, I'll be releasing this project first and focusing my efforts on it before continuing the rest.
I'll post progress here, and if anyone has feedback or info to add, I'd appreciate it. I hope to have the full package released by the end of the month.
AIRFIELDS (all airfields will have extra parking for combat and cargo aircraft)
I have modeled the following airfields so far:
EPBY, Szwederowo Air Base (coded as a depot for MiG-29, and F-16 and for civilian operations)
EPDR, Drawsko Pomorskie Training Area (Ziemsko Airfield) (coded for F-16s, MiG-29s, W-3s and Mi-17 with a Steadfast Jazz exercise on Thursdays)
EPKK, Krakow Air Base (coded for C-295s, Mi-2s, Mi-8s, and civilian operations)
EPKS, Krzesiny Air Base (coded for F-16s)
EPLK, Lask Air Base (coded for F-16s)
EPPW, Powidz Air Base (coded for C-130s, Mi-17s and M28s)
EPRA, Sadkow Air Base (not currently in FSX; coded for M28s and PZL-130s)
The following airfields have been modeled in MAIW:
EPMB, Malbork Air Base (coded for MiG-29s; may add coding for W-3s)
EPMM, Minsk Mazowiecki Air Base (coded for MiG-29s; may add coding for W-3s and Mi-2s)
The following airfields are in the queue to be created:
EPDE, Deblin Air Base (will be coded as a depot for TS-11s, Mi-2s, and M-346s)
EPMI, Miroslawiec Air Base (will be coded for exercise traffic; base in caretaker status)
EPSN, Swidwin Air Base (will be coded for W-3s, Mi-2s, and TS-11s)
EPxx, Nadarzyce Training Area (not currently in FSX; will be coded for exercise traffic; base in caretaker status)
AIRCRAFT
The following aircraft already exist that are utilized by the Polish Air Force (courtesy Owl's Nest AI Reference):
C-130E* by Henry Tomkiewicz (textures for five E models based on HT's original USAF paints)
C-295M* by Miljan Korac (Polish AF paints currently at Avsim)
F-16C/D* by Henry Tomkiewicz; paints by Mark Heimer (paints available at Mark Heimer's page)
Mi-2 by United Traffic Team (paints needed)
Mi-8 by AvSim.su (paints needed)
Mi-17 by FlightSimCZ (paints needed)
MiG-29 by MAIW
M28* by Mike Cronin (paints in progress)
W-3* by FlightSimCZ (paints in progress)
* means that flightplans have been created for these aircraft
The following aircraft are needed for AI operations (they are available as user-flyable aircraft):
M-346
PZL-103
TS-11
MISC
Flightplans will be reflecting quite a bit of activity in the region:
- EPDR will be the scene of Exercise Steadfast Jazz and will have quite the fly-in on Thursdays.
- Two C-130s will be shuttling between EPBY and Bangui, Central African Republic (FEFF) in support of Operation Sangaris.
- F-16s will be augmenting MAIW's MiG-29s at Siauliai Air Base (EYSA) in Lithuania for the Baltic Air Policing mission.
- C-130s will be scheduled to complement MAIW's NATO C-17s that land at Krakow.
- This project will use additional libraries such as GGSE, Jim Dhaenen's lights and hardened shelters, and MBC Studios military addons.
Again, any feedback will be appreciated. For the time being, my other projects (Semper Flight, Bulgarian Air Force, etc) will be placed on hold while I finish this one up.
I'll post progress here, and if anyone has feedback or info to add, I'd appreciate it. I hope to have the full package released by the end of the month.
