A new version of Wittmundhafen uploaded by me

Hmmm - a Wittmund time warp with retro traffic?
Sounds like a good idea to me! :jump:

A setting around 1968 with both blank metal and camo versions (and the adequate different code schemes as well) could be quite interesting.

@ Ian:
What does "CP" stand for? (presuming "Canadian Pacific" not being the correct term for it)
Where could I get the base model?

@ Quax:
Deal!
I'll provide the Zippers, you take care of the traffic file?

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Aaaah - I see!
But I'm afraid a proper flightline of several CS-AI 104s could drag the framerate into a sub-zero level...
Bummer at MAIW: No dedicated 104 available there.

Seems like some more research needed...

Cheers,
Markus.
 
The Owl's Nest had an AI zipper in the works.

The Ralf Kreibich AI collection

Several times I started to design things in GMax and FSDS without getting very far. I feel definitely more at ease in Visual Basic, PHP or with Installer scripts. Then something happened that brought me back to aircraft design.

I contacted Ralf Kreibich who had published a nice F-84 package and asked him if he could consider making an RF-84 model as well. I loved his answer - he attached the RF-84 model which was already completed.

We started a conversation, in course of which I learned that Ralf intended to step away from flight simming as a hobby. He sent me some additional aircraft. After having seen them in FS I was stunned. Such beautiful models and they should not be made available?

After I told Ralf that I feel these models should be published by all means he said that he had made up his mind and would not publish anything else. But he did send me the sources and trusted and authorized me to edit and publish them.

So here we are. My plan is to publish all of Ralf's models. I have teamed up with Ray Parker, who is an artist when it comes to aircraft paintwork. He will let Ralf's models shine. I decided to start with an aircraft I was looking for since years - the F-104G Starfighter. Models that should come later include the already mentioned F-84 Thunderstreak, the RF-84 Thunderflash, the F-102 Delta Dagger and the Ja-35 Draken.

The packages will be released at The Owl's Nest.

@Jagdflieger, Helgoland was british for a time, as far as I know. Maybe this is the rest of that good stuff from "old times"...? :icon_lol:
@Wild Bill, and this repaint looks great again !!! I think about creating a F-1o4 AI traffic ??? ;)
JG71 "RICHTHOFEN" rulez !!! ....... oops.... :kilroy:

The British Government traded Helgoland to Germany for one of the German 'Colonies' in the Pacific late in the 19th Century or early 20th Century IIRC.
Of course, I might be going through a bout of 'CRAFT Syndrome' but I think that is correct.

Thanks from me also awj112, that zipper looks great, i'll have fun with those when there released, dont suppose you know anything about that Su22 Fitter in GAF markings on Rays preview page, is it also part of Ralf's collection.
cheers ian

Very Great camou!

Indeed!
But this one belongs to the "wrong" unit:
It's JG 74, based at Neuburg/Bavaria.

I think this experimental camo will be worth getting depicted!
All I'd need is Duckie's improved paint kit for the Virtavia Rhino Pack 2 (F-4E/F model).
But since he' still fiddling with Pack 1 (F-4B/J), I'll have to be patient...


@ Ian:
This Fitter seems to bear the crest of WTD 61 ("Waffentechnische Dienststelle") on the fin, so I presume it was used for evaluation purposes after 1990.
It's a very interesting version and looks like a repaint challenge!
Maybe I should do some research upon this specific aircraft's history...

Anyone knows of a decent flyable Su-22 to take as basis?

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Update:

Wikipedia confirms my guess:
"Bei Testflügen durch die Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 61 wurden die Eigenschaften der Maschine ermittelt. Dabei wurde vor allem die Defensivsysteme und die Robustheit des Flugzeuges gelobt, während beispielsweise die Hydraulikanlage als zu schwach eingeschätzt wurde."

For those of you not too familiar with the German language:
"During evaluation flights with WTD 61, the Su-22's defensive systems and the ruggedness were lauded, whereas the hydraulic systems were rated being rather weak."


Update 2:
Found a promising Su-22 at Flightsim:

Let's see what I could do about it...

Edit:
Thanks, Andy! Seems like it's the same aircraft.

It is! Itosan did one as well (so great for AI, and plenty of repaints were done for it), but Jan Moravec's is much much better as a flyer. I've loved this aircraft ever since I saw a Czech team use this for a display back at Fairford a few years back - two very big aircraft crossing at speed, with both kicking out flares, was a sight to behold. I look forward to the repaint Markus.
 
Huh.
I know the Russians were able to create some good looking aircraft, but concerning the Su-22, the guys at Suchoj obviously were told to make it look evil!

These textures do need some making over, but since the texture mapping seems a little funny to me, it'll take some time to get her dressed in a proper WTD 61 appearance...
 
hmmm ??? What the hell is "JG74" ??? this guys belong to the "RBAF" (royal bavarian air force) like the LTG61 !!! :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol: (sry guys just a "Saupreußen" Joke :icon_lol:)

Oh ... okay maybe not the correct thread... but here is a german SU22. Ito sans and unfortunatly without VC. :kilroy: ....I'am a german by birth (nobody is perfect !!!) ... but a "lower saxon" by the grace god !!! ;-)
