Who's afraid of the big, bad Royal Flying Corps? Not us!

Ah, the visual benefits of a sim with volumetric clouds...

BANG! You're dead!

We all do...











But even Jaguars like them when available, too...

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the MiG-27 is a really sexy aeroplane?

The Floggers do look nice...I especially like the early Flogger-A variant with the 20% narrower chord wings...it looks fast. Currently working on some early WW2 and pre-WW2 FM tweaks for SF2...representative pics below for a far eastern scenario...will eventually get to uploading this FM pack...I particularly like the early "Army Zeke" (Ki-43) and Curtiss P-36 dogfights for early war scenarios...other two pics. are from my Cold War prop FM package...high-alt. Me109 getting ready for a morning flight...and a jeep waiting for me on my return.

Early morning Cold War prop mission

Some nice stuff there, vonS.

For me, SF has always been the so far never realised, missed chance for that Holy Grail of WW2 flightsims, 'EAW2'. Highly modable, an established community, an underestimated dynamic campaign, respectable graphics with dynamic shadows, good aircrew animation, ability to have unit and individual aircraft markings, and decent, basic squadron management (or 'roster management'). As FE/FE2 proved with WW1, it would still make a very good basis for a very good WW2 sim which with community mods providing more planes and maps, could beat the socks off the more modern, more 'introverted' and DLC-based rivals.

Nice pics all - found memories of SF2 and the like. I tried it for WW2 (there are some big mod packs for it for that) - but when I played a mission and watched each Beaufighter in turn (an entire squadron) attempt to dive bomb a ship, each diving too steep and all crashing, one after the next, I kinda walked away at that point. Maybe I will try it again sometime for WW2 (still have an enhanced Vietnam version on my hard drive).

Don't know why I never tried this MiG out. It seems to be a mismash of mods but it works good now for me.

Working on RuAF markings. Wish this thing was mapped.

Drag it up from 3 months past

Nice, clean aircraft, the Seahawk. I fondly recall building the Airfix 1/72 model, which not only had both RN and Bundesmarine decals, but also the taller fin for the latter - not bad for a 1960s Series 1 kit.

It would be great to see some love given to this model as well.
