Alpha Mig-23 In The Works

[dvslats]

Hi All,

I've been working on this convert on and off for a couple of years now. She's a real tough nut to crack.
Anyone who has tried it will know what I mean.

Finally (with a real hack job :hatchet:) the important animations are working.

Some pics...and hope to have her ready before the spring thaw. :joyous:

[dmaloof]

Hi dmaloof and misson,

Yes, jets are more or less a novelty in CFS2, but if they have cannon I'll try and convert them. :icon37: For a bit of fun one could give an AI opponent in mission builder an air file of a good fighting prop plane. :playful:

@ misson, Yeah, it's a scasm job. If you ever do one from a *.sca file, it is very similar to the largest Suduko puzzle you'll ever attempt. :friendly_wink:

Till Later Guys,
Dave

Kazunori Ito's planes can't be used for conversion, since he doesn't want his planes to be converted to CFS2 and fire weapons.

[dvslats]

Finally started on the damage profile. There's a nice set of modern Russian weapons at SimV.
They seem nicely done.

Dvslats,

Good old Kirk Douglas. A blast back to the 80's and 40's. :biggrin-new:

The problem is I keep over shooting the Zeros. :onthego:

[Killer Svend]

What a piece of machinery, outstanding works, thank you very much

Thank you Dave

[dvslats]

@ Killer Svend, misson Blood Hawk23 and gius.

Thanks for the good words. :wavey:

Cheerz, Dave

[kelticheart]

Nice, impressive job Dvslats!

Forgive my ignorance, but I am better informed about earlier years of aviation history, were MiG23's ever met in combat by Western planes?

Perhaps in Vietnam? As far as I know only MiG21s, 19s and 17s were flown by the North Vietnamese.

Anyway:


THANK YOU!

:applause: :applause: :applause:

...and Happy Easter!

To my knowledge, only twice :

> during the war between South Africa and Angola, there were encounters between Angolan Floggers and South African Mirages.
> later, there were fights between Iraqi MiG-23s and Iranian F-4s, F-5s and maybe F-14s.

I don't know if Iraqi MiG-23s were involved in any air fight on early 1991.
And maybe some Syrian or Egyptian flown Floggers were shot down by Israeli fighters, but I can't be sure either.

[gius]

During Israeli operation "Peace in Galilea" in 1982, several syrian Mig23s were shot down by IAF fighters, mostly F-15s and F-16s...

Hi Stef, and thank you.

In regards to combat by Western planes, there was the Gulf of Sidra incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Sidra_incident_%281989%29).

The majority of the others I have read about involve Egypt and the IAF Mirage.
A lot of middle eastern countries had an inventory of Mig-23's as Roxane-21 and Gius stated.

And you have a Happy Easter also!

Ps: For many more skins go to the Avsim library (http://library.avsim.net/login.php) and search Alphasim Mig-23 .

Eight Iraqi Mig 23s were shot down in the Gulf War in 1991 - Seven by F-15Cs of the 33rd and 36th TFWs and one by an F-16C of the 52nd FW.

Jets in CFS2 are not in my wheelhouse but this looks like a nice piece of work, Dave.

Thanks for that Captain Kurt.

I've had the most fun flying this bird flying out of Ian Elliot's CAM RAHN BAY airstrip. Head towards the mountainous area to the north and fly on the deck through the valleys and low areas, keeping an eye on the terrain, the radar altitude gauge and fuel. This is at full throttle and afterburners of course...:topsy_turvy:

It's an armchair thrill, and no helmet is required. :)
