and the later F4e
see link for pictures on the ac

Iceland Campaign1 will envolve not too many squads...
for iceland defense...I was thinking of

1 US 57th FIS squad f-15
2 US F-16 squad ...I want the green (A-16) skin for that one...still my all time favourite (it is somwere on my HD, if you want it )
3 Dutch F-16 squad (2 squads..one from Volkel AB and one from Twenthe AB
4 German F4 squad (to incorperate ayes beatifull new pit)
5 German Mig 29 squad (to incorporate the mig 29 pit/mod

so six squads for defense on Campaign 1
(playing arround 2005)


Please any feedback on campaign isues

Campaign 1: fictional (2005)
Campaign 2: fictional (60's/70's)
Campaing 3: Miram told me to read the book Red Storm Rising...I will do this..might be a nice startpoint for a campaign..
anyone read the book???

ah ha..no problem for rough skins.
if you want serious, ask Viperwear

btw, is the theater ready for gaming?

be sure to check the readme files included in the pack..everybody can edit/modify f4p files for swapping your favorites!

and the green viper, suppose Basil's artwork?

Hi widowmaker,
I've checked that link, very nice.
that f15 skin could be done in minutes.

my 2c, campaigns set in early cold war/cold war/ and future sound great. each campaign could be divided into Russian fleet approaching, Russian set up beachheads, and russians almost got the whole iceland.

if the details of campaign settings available, skin pack could be done(or collected) accordingly.

I will search out the skins already availeble
USA Viper is availeble (green one)
Dutch vipers are available..dunno if they are from the right bases yet ...no problems with other dutch squads as long as thre are two of them

German mig29 skin is also available
dunno for the german F4
57 th f15 are not availeble right now..and I would like if the viperwearteam would make one same for the 57th F4c/e for historical campaign

Campaign 1: is pretty much in my mind..
I'll brief you later on furter details

Campaign 2..the historical (fictional) would be about the same yet with older planes...lol

Campaign 3
is still free, so if you got any ideas for that one just let me know..

BTW can are their rusian skins for cariers
and wich airplanes would I need on them
Mig29K (carier version)
Su27 carier version...
or wich other airplanes are availeble
-please fill me in on detailes..as I am not aware of all details

as for a first (internal) beta....
will take some while as I dont have the need of putting out an alpha..
yet....might change my mind...
as I'm still having to make all the tiles
and most of what I am doing now is searching templates for tiles and new batch tecniques for repaleting...and quick tileproduction..new allignments ...

Currently I'm busy with the splahscreen...
(boy what a work.,...)]

expext first beta in about august/september... (I hope sooner)

If you got/find any other info please let me know here...

hmm..AFAIK, German mig29 never stationed at Keflavik, right?

as for mig29K skins, ya, i've done one a while ago, check F4C you'll find it.

and for Su33, will modify Hornit's su27 for it. maybe you want to add some Su25?

honestly, it still takes a long while to gather everything. the best news before the release is, Dragon do great job in modifying default shapes for new vehicles(see General discussion section).
i think Iceland theater need Tu22/Tu160/Su24 definitely. and we should ask Dragon to priotize these toys from b1/mig23.

hmm..defending iceland is always a good subject in wargaming..like in my Harpoon97 (too bad Harpoon4 just cancelled)

[Widowmaker]

Nope German mig29 has never been dipatched to Iceland

yet they will be in the future..(2005 remeber)
a future campaign leaves some room for
imagination..

btw...can I have 2 skins for mig29
or will this be doable in the future??

Su33 would be great..if you could do this for me
maybey some rusian carier skins are also possible?
can Su 25's take of from carries??

btw...can I have 2 skins for mig29

i think its doable in near future.

Su33 would be great..if you could do this for me maybey some rusian carrier skins are also possible?

ok. as for russian carrier skin...I'd like Dragon or somebody work out a modified shape.

can Su 25's take of from carries??

sure. modified su25UT as trainers on Kuz. but Russian wont be able to offer another SU25(or 39) on the deck anymore. besides, it could be too slow to penestrate enemy territory.

anyway, terrain is the first priority.
we are waiting Julian's fully-functional fleet! (see eTeam site)

[87th_striker]

You could snatch some campaigns from Harpoon...

Great two or more skins per aircraft would be great...

For 1 camapign or more
I could make some bases at the edge of the maps...in the corners..in the water\
(just a bit of sand and a base)
yet I dont know if campaign can ignore these bases to prevent attacks (as they are at Russia. Great Brittain, and US
I coud have heavy bombers take off from those points..yet I dont want them get attacked by flights out of Iceland..as this would be unrealistic....

any thoughts if this would be possible....

Yep fully functional fleet would be very great....btw wich planes can be launced by rusia from ships...
per timeframe please

and for a new Carrier Model...again would be great..

Carrier opps will be further away I gues..

87th Striker
hmmm Harpoon.....light me up on that one...any data would be fine..

you'll receive TSPaddon1 to enjoy this.

[Widowmaker]

Looking good, really great

did ya do them yourself??

Now we only need double tailtextures for the F15's to get rid of the mirroring...

Widmak

[Widowmaker]

Just got the
TSP1 addon looking great will testfly them all soon enough as I am not F4patch3.2 compatible I got to install them manually
(I know I'm a moron, still running 1.08i2 with f4patch 2.1 and RP3)
yet for terrainmaking this gives me the fastest setup..Tinstall and theaterswitcher by registry is still favourite too me)
I will wait for RP5 before upgrading...(maybey RP6 )

Anyways alot of thanx for your efforts

Widmak
