April 25, 20179 yr I will look for the complete list of carriers with "STOL Runway", think is complete now: 3198 America (80) 3192 John F Kennedy (85) 3193 Kitty Hawk (80) 3194 Kitty Hawk (91) 3195 Kitty Hawk (02) 3196 Constellation (84) 3197 Constellation (93) 3294 Constellation (80) 3199 Forrestal (80) 3200 Forrestal (85) 3202 Saratoga (80) 3202 Saratoga (83) 3204 Saratoga (90) 3209 Coral Sea (81) 3210 Midway (81) (Is present another entry 2575 "Midway 81" with correct small runway). 3211 Midway (86) 3205 Ranger (80) 3206 Ranger (85) 3207 Independence (80) 3208 Independence (88) 3464 Foch (93) 3465 Clemenceau (80) 3516 Melbourne (80)
April 27, 20179 yr Some confussion in two Spanish CN-235 entries, both identical in the DB at this moment: - Entry 8856 CN-235MPA D.4 (2010) is a correct maritime patrol type. At current times 8 maritime patrol aircrafts in service in Spain (Sometimes one deployed to Djibouti/Camp Lemmonier in Operation Orion, controlling sea lanes). - Entry 8855 CN-235MPA T.19B should be a pure transport type named CN-235-100M T.19B, without SS radar, FLIR or ESM, and probably with loadouts 56725-Cargo and 52726-Assault. At current times 8 pure transports in service in Spain. Pure Spanish transport CN-235-100M T.19B, without search radar, ESM or FLIR (You can read with difficulty T.19B on the vertical tailplane): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CASA_CN-235,_Radom_Air_Show_2007.jpg https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASA_CN-235#Operadores Ejército del Aire de España: Recibió 20 ejemplares, 2 CN-235-10M de transporte VIP, designación del Ejército del Aire T.19A, y 18 CN-235-100M de transporte táctico, T.19B. Los dos primeros han sido transformados en 2009 a la versión de fotogrametría, recibiendo la nueva designación TR.19A,13 mientras que 8 de los de transporte táctico han sido transformados a la versión VIGMA (VIGilancia MArítima, búsqueda y rescate (SAR)/patrulla marítima) (designación D.4).31 Por otro lado, 2 de los CN-235-100M, los números de serie C034 y C035, fueron vendidos a la Real Fuerza Aérea Jordana para ser transformados en cañoneros Thanks! Obviously a mistake there. I appreciate the second set of eyes on these entries. Especially with a built-in translator!
April 27, 20179 yr Testing 2017.007, and of course Tony has corrected a long range air attacks issue in the Game Engine (Thanks!), another time more I choosed casually #8837 Buccaneer S.2B 86 (one of my favorites ever), and just casually is the only Buccaneer in the DB erroneously without radar! Also, ranges for the Buccanner Blue Parrot radar should be 240/180/102/58/32, as stated in SITREP 45, page 31.

April 29, 20179 yr Limitations on UAV. Trying to load some #10581 RQ-2 Pioneer in USS Wisconsin BB-64, historically 8xRQ-2 loaded, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wisconsin_(BB-64) Uncapable to load them, probably because the lack of "Carrier Capable" flag. Same case with the #10970 Scan Eagle, also employed from ships. Probably other UAVs too, but I don't know much about UAVs.
April 30, 20179 yr Intrigued by the fate of the upcoming Sea Ceptor naval SAM, no news in a long time. Looking for it in Internet only found this recent report: http://navaltoday.com/2017/01/27/hms-westminster-starts-sea-trials-after-major-refit/ Apparently from October 2016 is finished the refit adding Sea Ceptor launcher and Artisan 3D radar (some had it previously, I think) in the frigates Westminster, Montrose and Argyll (the latter designed as test ship for Sea Ceptor), waiting now for the induction in service of Sea Ceptor. Note Wesminster is equipped with towed Sonar 2087 (Current ship entries 72, Type 23 Duke (13), and 73, Type 23 Duke (17) with Sea Ceptor, and the correspondent Merlin helicopter), but Montrose and Argyll are ships of entry 2972, Type 23 Duke (06), with the older towed Sonar 2031, the correspondent Sea Lynx/Wildcat and Radar 996 (AWS-9) I think initially not considered to be updated with Sea Ceptor and Artisan 3D.
May 2, 20179 yr Entry 9686 Chinook HC.2A 97 lacks loadouts. Thanks. I will fix that. I am addressing the MiG-21 Fishbed this week and will then be shifting more attention to the surface ship and submarine entries.
May 8, 20179 yr The A-6E Intruder attack variants should have NOE flag, as have dedicated TF radar (For my own notes other variants as A-6A, KA-6D, EA-6A and EA-6B have not TF radar), just as F-111, Tornado (Attack variants) and Su-24. (Many A-6E splashed by surprise in the Bubiyan 1991 scenario!).
May 8, 20179 yr Weapon entry 18700 NASAMS II has the range in the Surf Range box, not in the right Air Range box.
May 9, 20179 yr Thanks for those, all fixed for the next version. The next iteration will see a bit of a shift into the ships and submarines annexes, so any requests should be made here.
May 13, 20179 yr 52345 airfield RAF Lakenheath should be placed 0 33.5 East, not 0 33.5 West (I know, near 0 degrees things go confuse sometimes).
May 13, 20179 yr 8467 entry aircraft Tu-95RT Bear D 80 has not loadout (probably 55496 loadout, but making entries 8467 and 10286 Tu-95RT Bear D 92 identical, I fear). Another possibility, as in my own notes, could be variant 1992 equipped with SPS-151 jammer replacing tail guns.
