A new version of Wittmundhafen uploaded by me

[ian elliot]

Hi guys, ive just uploaded a new version of the Wittmundhafen scenery to the library. and its a lot better than the one i released a year a go. mostly custom buildings, better tree's and lots of them and ground textures, ive also used Mitsuya Hamaguchi's Unimog and Rosenbauer Panther fire truck as static verhicles and ive included some custom textures for the panther, very kindly painted by Andreas Koch which you'll have to add, check out the screen shots, Thanks Andy :icon29:

I hoping this should be fine on frames but you can remove the tree bgl if there are problems.

the Ai i use is the same as the old version but if you dont have that installed, you'll need---
1- ai_f-4c.zip by Fernando Martinez found at Flightsim.com

2- f4aipack.zip by Klaus Hinkel, all you need from this pack are the JG71 Richthofen textures by Andy Nott.
Do not install the Afcad or the traffic file, just the texture's

You should have some basic MAIW packs installed but if you have'nt, you only really need---
ggse_i3.zip FS2004 Military Ground Service Equipment Library by John Stinstrom

All these addons are easy to get from flightsim, oh and if you have the ai Transell lurking on you install, cant remember the designer, then that'll show too

Nice work!
Will have to have a close look at it... :applause:

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Thanks a lot, Ian! :applause:
Downloading as I type.

I think it's time for a decent F-104G in JG 71 colours. Just cleaning my airbrush... :jump:

Cheers,
Markus.

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Tired of dull grey Rhinos?
Here's a little contribution to Ian's awesome Wittmund update:

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/wildbillkelso_berlin/Starfighter/2485_1.jpg

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/wildbillkelso_berlin/Starfighter/2485_2.jpg

Unfortunately, the CaptainSim F-104 doesn't offer the usual F-104G interceptor configuration with two Sidewinders on the wing tips and two inner external tanks, so you'll have to decide between this full-armed version and the two- or four-tanker (declaring it as ferry configuration will help...).

Just some final tweaking needed.

Cheers,
Markus.

[Jagdflieger]

Two thumbs up Ian!

As Wittmunhafen is not too far from Jever, thirsty pilots can drive into town and get a cold Jever right at the brewery. In fact, there is some JG 71 memorabilia on the walls of the bar.

[ian elliot]

Looks good guys, esp like the F104 Marcus, looking forward to that one, also glad its running ok for you Jadg, i was worried a little about the frames for you but those screens look great, anyone driving the panther yet?
cheers ian

[Jagdflieger]

Too busy beating up the JG 71 base with my JG 73 Sabres to drive the Panther. Perhaps after I get grounded for my aerobatics over the base I can get to the fire truck.

[bully707]

Fantastic!
Downloading as I'm writing this...
FS9 was lacking a great rendition of Wittmundhafen.
And as I am the Flight Safety Officer Assistent at the 71st FW at Wittmundhafen when on Reserve Duty...I am very, very happy!:applause::applause::applause:

This blends in nicely with the freeware Ostfriesland scenery by M-R Software (Marcel Kuhnt), available here:

Thanks Ian!

[Quax d. Bruchpilot]

40945 40949 Great Job Ian :salute: THX for ETNT ! :applause: And also thx for using my Firetruckrepaints. btw there is also a repaintpack for the Ai F-4 with Norm72, Norm83 and Norm 2000 repaints. Michael Pearson has created this beautifull old repaints (in the background). You'll find it at AVSIM. Also MAIW traffic is possible, but be carefull. No place to park your aircraft ;-)


Greets
Andy

Oh, one word to the C-160 Transall. Fernando Martinez has created one as german / french version. Registred customer at "Transallproject" can also download another one and a lot of nice ai repaints for it.

Thanks Ian!

Yep Stuart, this is a nice addition for it.

[ian elliot]

Hi Andy :wavey: norm 72 is my favorite.

if you do install the F4's from the MAIW German typhoon pack, install the package into a temp folder and move everthing over by hand but dont include ther afcad for ETNT, that'll really screw things up, like Andy said, the traffic file for the MAIW ETNT has about 30 ac, my afcad has parking for about 15, you can see where im coming from :mixedsmi:, you may want to get yourself traffic tools and lose 15 ac or they'll be hogging all the space's.
cheers ian

[Quax d. Bruchpilot]

Norm 72 is on the way... check your emails :salute:

Greets
Andi

[Quax d. Bruchpilot]

oh, guys... one word to the firetruck... pls reduce the mainfile to dxt1 if it is to heavy for your frames and / or your System ...... sry this was my mistake :kilroy:

[Jagdflieger]

Stuart,

Thanks for the tip. I pulled it as well as their North German light houses (Leuchttuerme) and Helgoland Island scenery out of my library. I recall seeing the Phantoms out of Wittmundhafen over the Ostfriesian and Helgoland Islands years ago so now it is nice to explore the scenery from their viewpoint.

By the way, if any of you thirsty pilots ever get to Helgoland Island (probably the most bombed island in Europe in WW II), the duty free stores there have as good a selection of Scotch outside of Scotland as there is.

Quax,

I need to reduce that file to DXT1 as my computer is challenged at times. Thanks for the tip.

Here is Helogoland from FS 9 and from a post card I picked up there.

[Wild Bill Kelso]

In order to keep the skies over Wittmund busy, JG 71's F-104G '24+85' in its 1972 appearance is locked and loaded:

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/wildbillkelso_berlin/Starfighter/2485_3.jpg

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/wildbillkelso_berlin/Starfighter/2485_4.jpg

http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt112/wildbillkelso_berlin/Starfighter/2485_5.jpg

JG 71 was put into service in 1959 and originally equipped with Canadair Sabre (F-86E). In 1961 it received the traditional "Richthofen" designation.
The unit's base moved to Wittmund in 1962 and on April 9th 1963 the first F-104G Starfighter arrived, subsequently replacing the Sabre.
In the following years, the F-104Gs primarily changed their role into fighter-bombers, getting assigned to fighter-bomber wings (Jagdbombergeschwader). By 1974, all F-104G of JG 71 were replaced by F-4F Phantom II.

Upload finished.
Enjoy!

Cheers,
Markus.

[Quax d. Bruchpilot]

@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:

Greets
Andi

[ian elliot]

That looks really sweet Bill, thanks alot.:icon29:
by the way, the CP 104 works quite well as an ai aircraft, its actually rather frame rate friendly when ive made up traffic files using it.
cheers ian

[Wild Bill Kelso]

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.

[ian elliot]

Sorry, im losing it a little, supposed to be CS not CP, CS being Captain Sim :mixedsmi:
cheers ian

[Wild Bill Kelso]

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.
http://www.interkultur.de/gossmann/fsx/owlai.php


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 (http://rayparker-repaints.jimdo.com/), 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.

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.

[ian elliot]

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

[Wild Bill Kelso]

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.

[AndyG43]

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

Personally I like this one (http://www.flightsim.cz/fsitem.php?act=exe&id=476&lan=&menu=4).

[Wild Bill Kelso]

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."
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suchoi_Su-22

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.

[AndyG43]

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.

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Think I've found some nice templates:

Now it's time for me to dust off my very poor knowledge of the russian language (being a West-Berliner, we sincerely hoped never to need speaking russian...) and get this hulk of an aircraft painted.

Cheers,
Markus.

[Wild Bill Kelso]

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...

[Quax d. Bruchpilot]

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 !!! ;-)

I think ive figured out why the Unimogs are turning up all over the place, i forgot to include a small but significant entrie in the Unimog cfg. if you could copy-paste these lines-----

atc_parking_types=MIL_COMBAT
atc_parking_codes=GNL

-----on to the end of the [fltsim.0] title=UNIMOG, entrie, so that it looks like

Nice to see an A-4 Skyhawk on your pic of post #47, Zsolt!
And although the depicted camo isn't that correct, the Scooter in fact belongs to Wittmund right now:
Actually, four private-owned (BAe Systems) Skyhawks (N431FS, N432FS, N434FS und N437FS, former Israeli A-4N) do serve as manned target drones from ETNT:

These are a few tweaks to my scenery recommend by others, you'll find---
1. Panther fire trucks relocated, one at each end of runway, with third remaining at fire station.
2. repositioning of static F86
3. 2 more start point/parking slots at QRA area at east end of airfield, 53 and 54 in your drop down start/parking list
4. West end of runway closed to Ai traffic, if you start from QRA area, you wont have Ai F4's coming at you from
oppersite direction
Unzip into temp folder and copy/paste bgls in to your Wittmundhafen/scenery folder overwriting when prompted, might want
to back up originals somewhere just in case :-)
