Not only about this ordinance projects, but about all my joining projects Aircrafts, Vehicles, Ships, Game systems.

My game and mod developing (modeling and coding) PC is broken in this JST morning.
Its Windows7 system SSD is dead, maybe its controller is damaged. It's missing from PC startup BIOS screen.
Now I'm accessing here by an Atom PC.


A half lucky for me, I made IL-2 1946 executing or mod developing work spaces on sub HDDs, not on the system SSD.
Perhaps modding / modeling materials and WIP things are safe.
And one more, Windows7 warned me 5 days ago "This system SSD is nearly dead !!!".
So I could order a new SSD at a PC parts net shop for replacing and now I've received it, begin to clean install Windows7 on it.
Patching Windows7 and installing applications need some days, but I will be able to return modding / modeling in 3 days.

The only thing better than having a backup is: Have two or more backups
Sorry to hear about that broken SSD, but if everything's working as expected, the damage at least is limited.

Best regards
Mike (Who's got a full backup of all IL-2 related stuff with 7-days history locally, with automated daily backup job, plus a mirror of this backup data with 3 months history online at OneDrive)

Thanks, Mike.

I've got again my modding PC environment almost OK besides rarely using applications.

At the last time of the old SSD living, I opened a 3ds Max file of AIM-4A missile.
Only that occupied .max file was broken. Last my 2 hours work was lost. Others are safe maybe.

So, I can restart from another named save max file one generation older and now finish.

Based on gio's F-102 components, I fixed scale and shape, texture for each correct subtypes, and also switched to Gen2016 hooked position.

More North America Continent, Air Defense Command armaments.



AIM-26A exploding in a mission.






AIR-2 Genie is very hard to use.
It didn't have any homing function or Proximity Fuse. Exploding only by Time Fuze after flying 10 km.
I've never succeed to shoot down an enemy plane by it even once.


I have to finish one more object (not related to ADC) before releasing a new pack.

Nice, More Air-to-Air Missiles with nukes, that could be dangerous.

[western0221]

Now US Anti-tank missiles are added to Weapon pack Generation 2016-iii.
Already published.

- AGM-114 Hellfire variant .... AGM-114C (Laser Homing) and AGM-114L (Active Radar Homing; Longbow Hellfire)


- BGM-71 TOW variant .... BGM-71A "Basic TOW" , BGM-71C "Improved TOW (ITOW)" and BGM-71D "TOW-2"


All missile 3d models have +3 level LOD models with texture size decreasing to avoid rendering heavy load.
