Thanks a lot for the fix, Ugra!

A post-KWS Alpha Jet A to be precise (ECM gear, C20 motors) Split Air is making an E-model mod, which by itself is awesome, but I guess it would cut into the sales potential of the Alphons.

Oh boy, what a rabbit-hole Thanks for pointing that out! I've gone through a couple of photos of jets with M1s and they're all also showing opaque seeker domes. All of the shots are mid 80s (86-87) at N'Djamena (hence live missiles). https://www.airhistory.net/photo/780491/279 https://www.airhistory.net/photo/780245/265 https://www.airhistory.net/photo/777453/214 https://www.airhistory.net/photo/781985/632 I take this to be an old Magic 1 training round (?) (early 80s). https://www.airhistory.net/photo/772915/37 There's also this (86 - more modern?) training round, looking closer to the later M2 training missiles: https://www.airhistory.net/photo/763059/10 Is it certain that the M1 had the opaque seeker from the beginning, or was that just a mod some time into production? Or was the transparent dome even just a thing on inert training missiles other than the blue one shown above? Not trying to be right, just genuinely interested. @Aerges: Do you think it's feasible implementing some training/ ACMI missiles for the Sidewinders and/ or Magics on the F1? I know the effort going into that is probably not going to pay off, but it would be a nice touch nonetheless.

Did more digging into this - they're two different models, but the Magic 1 has the notches in the rear fins. Magic 1 on the right wing. Magic 2 on the left. They're two different models. M1 does, however, also have M2's opaque seeker window, which is wrong. Magic 1, however should look like this (seeeker cap in place, no notches in tailfins): Clear seeker glass: The Magic 1 in game used to have the non-notched tailfin, but it always had the opaque seeker. Does anybody know the reason why it was changed? Sorry for the hi-jack, but I guess we're talking about Magic 1 issues anyway

On a tangent: When loading Magic 1 missiles, a Magic 2 model is actually loaded (with a notch in the rear fins).

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but telling devs to change the game logic so you can game it a little more isn't helpful in my opinion. It should be up to the mission designer to not build scenarios completely out of fairytale land. That includes not using aircraft from airbases that aren't up to the task. The runway at BWE in game is 1620m long, plus overruns. That's not enough for jet ops, unless said jet is a Slowtation. The good news is there'll be plenty of suitable airfields in future phases.

Chad would be nice, but given the lack of action for most of the timeframe of Épervier, a South African Bush War map would make more sense IMHO.

This issue has two layers: 1) You shouldn't spawn jets at BWE if you're even semi-interested in historical/ realistic setups. The airfield is too short, not equipped and is too close to the border. Maybe OV-10s, maybe Harriers, maybe Transports (in that order of probability) and only as a fwd support base. Again, the airfield is almost within artillery range from the border. Just flying the ILS, even being vectored close and short, will probably put you into a some SAM envelopes. 2) Helicopters exist, too, and they're pretty much the only wartime use for this airfield. Hence it makes sense to be spawned where normally gliders would operate from. Also, when the Herc comes out, it should be able to operate from grass. Same with the Gina.

They're properly sized. For England winning the penalties.

Flying Alpha Jets out of Fürsty would be quite a treat.

The spawn slot shown by the OP is the where the gliding club operates today. You wouldn't get an even lightly loaded F-4 to taxi on that ground. Let alone when the ground is wet. What's more annoying to me is when servers are trying to make you operate F-4s out of 5300ft runways (which was the post-1970 runway length at BWE) - almost within artillery-range of the inner-german border.

It wasn't used at all, after a couple of test launches in the US and Lechfeld. It trailblazed the Martin Baker ejection seat modification, though.

FWIW, this is the current state of the northern german airfields. This is what Jever looks like - pretty much a pit of dirt: Wittmund also just a pit of dirt: Leck at least has nice "Fototapete": Eggebek Husum: Schleswig/Jagel: Hohn (another pit of dirt - in the forest):

The optimum would be a fullsize Transall module and An-26 module each. I'm still hoping the C-130 will kick open the door for transports.

Lahr will be in Phase 3.
