Hey all.

I'm looking for a few planes

Republic F-84 Thunderjet
Lockheed F-94B Starfire
Douglas F3D Skyknight

there are FS2004 versions of all three of these but i'm not sure of what is needed so that they will work in CFS2

Also looking for repaints for

RAAF NO 77 Squadron for the ALPHA_TR P-51D or any of the other models (VBs for example) going with the ALPHA_TR P-51D version cuz its the newest and i like how it flies

I'm considering doing a campaign for the RAAF NO77 Squadron. using the Mustang for the first part and the Meteor for the 2nd part. If anyoe is already doing this please let me know.

if i can get the mustang skin i'll try to do atleast a mission for the RAAF No77 Sqd. (I'll have to get all of the proper permissions first but i'll cross that road later)

Ty all

thats a shame. if you read the history of these planes and the squadrons that have flown them they get very interesting. well i could use the F-80 for the F-94 since they both came from the T-33. I just dont have the templates to do a proper repaint. and making one would be a pain. it could be done. hummm...

any word on the RAAF mustang?

have you ever used the image tool the comes with FS2002 Pro? i use it alot on the bitmaps and adding the alpha channels and such ( atleast i did on my other comp).
that looks great BTW
i wonder what would look good for the droptanks. Did the wing tanks detach on the F-84? I'll have to look in my books.

D and E versions were in Korea. the E having the most modifcations before the swept wing F model. the G came in mid 1952.
armament of the F-84: 6 MGs , 2,100Lbs(1,814kgs) bombs. in one of my other books it has it as 6,000Lbs (2,722Kgs).
though the site here - 
http://www.korean-war.com/KWAircraft/US/USAF/republic_f84.html
puts them at 4,000LBS.

so my thinking is
C which was outdate and replaced before the war: 2100lbs
D-E: 4000lbs
G and newer: 6000lbs
thats just a guess. but it makes sense. the G had reinfored wings since it was designed to deliver tactical nukes.

OK, now we got a good solid DP with guns, rockets, bombs and a new set of custom droptanks from TR's Custom Shop....baby steps, baby steps. 

She's just about finished.   Post her in a day or so.  The 2-D panel was impossible to use in CFS2 because of design issues.  However, I have replaced it with a very nice 2D.  The DVC is quite good and I have kept it as close to intact as possible by replacing FS2004 gauges with CFS2 compatible types.   The DP, AIR and CFG of course are all new. 

Film at 11! 

This baby just needs some of Bub's tender attention with the airbrushes to look like a real star.   

I'm bringing the F3D Skyknight to CFS2 as well.   She's in the early stages of conversion....but functioning in CFS2 now. 

Night missions are almost exclusively going to be intercept missions against intruders or around enemy airfields with your night fighter.....you can also set them just around dusk in the evening and at dawn in the morning.   They are interesting in that you have to use your radar to get very close to the enemy before you can actually see him.....just like in real life. 

Night missions against ground targets are pretty much useless, even when we've put lighted moving vehicles on the roads. 

Yes, Greg Pepper's FSX HU-16 Albatross is the third Korean War era plane that has long been missing from CFS2.   The MDL converted directly to CFS2 with ease.

She's coming to a download site near you soon. 

PS  Is this A Flight From Ashiya? 

i have yet one more plane to search for

Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar

was used in operation tomahawk. which is the second largest airdrop of the Korean War.

oh and add to that a C 46 Commando.

i thought that there was one but i can't find it.--nvm found it.

well no but i've been doing research on the RAAF No77 sqd and finding all kinds of good info. going to do a mission with the mustang than go from there. yeah my head is buzzing with the options. so i hope to get that mission done here real soon.

of you want to send the c-119 to me feel free. cuz i cant find it for CFS2.

Check your PMs...

are there any F-82Gs running about. i can find the panelbut not the Plane.

That panel was built for the Fox Four F-82 player aircraft, however, she has never made it past the AI stage in one of the campaigns.

There is one out there....I'll dig it up for you shortly....if you just have to have one.   If you just want an AI, there are two in the Fox Four downloads, a night fighter and a regular. 

Hey, Bob, did you enjoy your sabbatical?  I checked in at the paintshop a couple of times, and found nothing but dried-up paint cans.   Starting to get worried about your whereabouts. 

CAG, AKA Miss Ginger, is flexing her whip now that Spring has sprung, and is strongly suggesting that I get my backside into the yard for fertilizer, weeding and mowing duty.  I'm holding on to my keyboard with both hands though.  And I've just about gotten all of the WIP projects posted.

Thanks, Bub.  VB did do two of those...one clean and one with radome.

Here are a couple of shots of the Fox Four AIs.....mine are flyable versions with Mike Eustace's panel.  I'll share these with anyone interested as well.  We actually used the day fighter version in one of the campaigns....Red Star, if I remember correctly.

These are the low FPS planes....they're dogfighting little suckers too!

First, try the revised F-84G MDL file here:

http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=TRconMDLrev-1.zip&x=19&y=9

It will probably fix your issue. 

HOWEVER, some FS2004 conversions will never work in anything but Freeflight.   Though the F-84G is NOT one of those. 

Secondly, I do not understand the question about  GaugeSound.dll.

Glad you got the 84G working.  What is very confusing is that some people have the problem that you encountered and some do not....there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.   

No, that DLL is definitely not needed under any circumstances in CFS2....in fact, nothing from FS2004 is.
