Foo Fighters: As many of you will know, during WWII, UFO's were called Foo Fighters. There were several reports of Foo Fighters from night fighter and night bomber crews of both sides of the conflict. What are your thoughts on using Foo Fighters in CFS? I have down loaded several, including the TIE fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber, X-wing, A-wing, Fireball XL5, Supercar, Area 51 Flying Saucer, Colonial Viper, Klingon D7 and Alien Attacker. If Anyone knows of any others and where I can get them, please let me know. Also, has anyone done scenes and textures for the surface of the Moon?

Hi Biggles!
What do you mean by 'using them in CFS' ?
If you mean using them in a normal dogfight, that would be pretty lame. But if you mean using them to have some fun... well, go ahead. It wont last very long, you'll get bored soon unless you're a totall UFO freak.
Did you know the area 51 thing can make a 360 turn by using rudder? pretty cool...
I've tried using some of them in dogfights (I was allowed to do so...) but I found it very hard to hit anything.
About the moon: I think you can get some other moons from the simviation download section. Look under utilities.
Don't know if it's any good though...
Cheers!

Way back in this forum someone posted that there was a "flying saucer" built into CFS1. I think they said it was hovering somewhere around London. Also I've heard of "flying pigs" and even Snoopy on his dog house! Now how's that for "Foo Fighters".

Yeah, I've tried using jets vs Foo fighters/UFo's in quick combat and yes they are pretty hard to hit as they zip past so fast, and you do get bored after a while.
Its good for a few minutes fun though, imagine you are a WWII piolot flying a meteor or an ME262 at night and you encounter a UFO formating on your wingtip and no matter what you do you can't shake it off. Thats the kind of thing that night fighters reported.
That bit About a UFO built into the game flying over London sounds interesting. Is that flying at Night?
Anyhow I was wondering if someone had thought of making a mission with Foo fighters or something.
No I'm not a total UFO freak (just partial) its just one of the many things I'm interested in.

I've found a campaign in Simvation Missions CFS1 section, that I had missed previously. Its called Invasion 1948. It involves UFOs vs WWII aircraft. Looks interesting, this is the sort of thing I'm looking for.
I love CFS1.

Actually, I've redone a Sopwith download to represent my own CFS1 WW1
Snoops
; so, so close to an uploadable composite when my computer went haywire. I've just rebuilt my older computer and still need to retrieve some of the files (hope I don't have to redo them all
) so let's see if I can get it done before my birthdate (ides of November) comes around

Hi H,
I wouldn't class a 'snoopy Camel' as a Foo Fighter.
A Foo Fighter for me, is either a 'Traditional'
UFO or a Sci-Fi craft such as an X-wing, TIE Fighter, Colonial Viper etc. However I love cartoons (overgrown kid me) and wish you luck in sorting out Snoopy and his Camel. Perhaps you will upload it to simvation and I can download it for my hanger.
I've seen a couple of other 'cartoon planes' of Muttley and Dasterdley in the CFS2 section. I wish someone would make Versions for CFS1.
Keep on QCing.

Just as a note, the original
foo fighter
reports weren't what we now generally think of as 'alien' craft. They were usually classed as ball lightning because they were small "balls of light" that, sometimes quite erratically, whirled around their much slower hosts (conventional aircraft).
Maybe it was by little "fire ant-people" that they were manned -- er, anted ????

The only real foo fighter is one of those balls of light that flies around WW2 planes. It would be nice if someone made one, now that I think about it maybe I could, I've got too much other things to do and so little time in each day. Sorry.

Put me to bed guys, I can't sleep...

Hey H, yeah, I've heard of Foo fighters refered to as ball lightning, Also heard of UFOs refered to as weather balloons, the moon, marsh gas, Venus or Saturn and the latest, Earth lights. Tell that to the pilots who have seen these things.
I saw this program on TV (Discovery Wings) where these US night fighter pilots ( Flying Mosquitos in WWII) reported These balls of light formatting off their wing tips and seeming to behave intelligently, as if it was playing with them. So I said,(just for fun) imagine you are flying an Me262 at night (in CFS1) and this sort of thing happens.
But I didn't mean this to be a serious discussion on UFOs. I just want to have a little fun trying to shoot them down or at least hit them in CFS1.
PS: I've seen ball lightning, in broad daylight, an extremely bright ball of light, about the size of a basket ball, it zipped around like crazy, then hit the ground and went off like grenade. Scared the hell out of me:o

Hey Bombardier101,
I just love the way you created a word picture with your 'Jackel Five' radio chatter - with just a few words too. Thats just the athmosphere I'm looking for. Now if someone could only transfer that into a mission.

Oooh there's a nice little "Independence day fighter" in the CFS mixed section here on simviation.
Once I also had these huge city destroyers as scenery. They were hoovering above London and Paris. Dunno where I got them from. I think from simviation...

Hi Pigeon,
Yeah, I've got the Alien attacker from 'Independence Day', a real mean looking thing, managed to hit it and knock some chunks off it, flying a Mosquito.
Also downloaded the huge Alien Destroyer scenery from Simviation but not yet installed it.
Keep CSF1 alive.

Thanks. I speak a little German. I don't know how it would get into a CFS1 mission. Maybe with luck a CFS2 one, but for now just imagine....
I could make up some more radio chatter if you want if it's really good...
Hey guys, can anyone give me the lat/lon coordinates for stonehenge? I wanna see something freaky!
Sorry I can't be much help in keeping CFS1 alive. It's nice to play though and I'll post here every now and then.
Keep it alive

I got Henge in CFS1 as N51*9.06, W1*50.63.
The 'Snoopy doghouse' and 'Wallace & Grommit' planes were available from one of the lesser publicised EURO sites a couple of years ago. I'll see if I can dig it up later today, for anyone interested (if it's still active that is).

Sorry it was Wallace & Grommit's plane + the "Stop the Pigeon" multi-wings (apt for disposing of our resident "Pigeon" as well, heheheh).

p.s. haven't seen EURO_Manx for ages so not sure how long this will be up for once the Zone closes CFS1 and CFS2.
