Good Idea !!!!!!!!!! The North of Namibia is pretty odd landscape (Ovamboland) with white white sand and palms and scattered green bush whilst the Caprivi area is dense bush red/yellow soil and very flat... to the west Kaokoland looks like the moon... dark red soil and very mountainous.... the Kunene river seperates most of the border there Angola west is mountainous and desert eg the Namibe area, and most of South Angola is bush and to the east very marshy with plenty snaky rivers... further up it become hilly with dense rain forest and bush

its an old project based on Falcon 4 which I was given the source code to many moons back - but we build the terrain from SRTM data from Luanda Angola down to Windhoek Namibia, built all the relevant ground objects and equipment (even herds of elephants and Kudu buck to simulate wildlife in the area) there were two campaigns - the actual war 1966 - 1989 including all air assets at the time then a 2nd campaign which was fictional as if the war continued, the SAAF asked us to include new assets eg Gripen, Hawk etc vs SU27 of FAPA a/c aircraft included (ugh i hope i remember) *** flyable Mirage IIICZ *** flyable Mirage IIIEZ *** flyable Mirage IIIR2Z Mirage D2 Canberra Buccaneer S50 *** flyable AM3C Bosbok C4M Kudu C47 Dak Impala Mk2 (MB326KC) *** flyable Mirage F1CZ *** flyable Mirage F1AZ *** flyable Cheetah C *** flyable Cheetah D2 *** flyable Hawk *** flyable Grippen *** flyable C160 Transall C-150 C130B Alouette III Super Frelon SA-330 Puma Boeing 707 tanker Mi-8 Mi-17 Mi-24 Mi-35 Su-22 *** flyable Su-25 Su-27 *** flyable Su-30 MiG-17 MiG-23 *** flyable MiG-21 *** flyable L-29 L-39 Casa-212 EMB-314 Il-76 An-12 An-26 An-32 An-72 https://combat360.online/groups/saafops-angolan-theater/

Back in 2005-2007 (that is 17 years ago... ouch) we were developing a theatre for Falcon 4, that covered the war that lasted for over 25 years between the Cuban led FAPA-DAA and the SAAF... We introduced new flyable aircraft (many a firsts in Falcon) e.g. Mirage IIIC and E Variants Mirage IIIRZ and R2Z Mirage F1AZ and CZ Impala MK2 (MB-326KC) Cheetah E and D/2 Buccaneer SMk50 Canberra yup even an Alouette III, Super Frelon and Puma helicopters and props eg C47, C130B, C160Z, Bosbok SU-22/25/27 MiG-15/17/21bis/23 The South African Air Force gave us incredible support and access to all aircraft (and in most cases performance data, flight manuals etc) including the Hawk and Gripen and it seems so many years later in would be incredible to "port" this shelved project over to DCS.... I will post some thoughts/pics of the old SAAFOPS and information regarding the war/campaign in Angola and see where it goes _ad2.bmp saafops_1.bmp saafops_bg3.bmp
