April 28, 2022

-  USNRaptor Playset v 3.5  is now bachelor. The master alter is an overhaul of (most of) the Air to Ground ordnance. I did some inquiry and created a system to go the weapons' destructive power (based on size of warheads and speed of weapons) to have some form of conformity to each other, and hopefully perform closer to real life. The player will notice changes in range for some, and more/less lethality than before, as well as a new AS-xx Kayak (icon thanks to Zephyr). The chart I created can be found in the Weapons - My Icons binder in the USNRaptor FA Folder which is still labeled Air conditioning Guns.xls.

- Some of the ships, vehicles, and scenery objects take received changes in their damage amounts to correspond to the changes in A-G ordnance destructive ability. The amount of damage needed to destroy various items can been seen in the AC Guns.xls chart (note: not all items are listed).

- The air to air missiles have received another power/impairment upgrade. Though more powerful in destructive power, don't expect to take out a Su-25 with a single Sidewinder. This upgrade may modify the dynamics of campaign missions.

- The flight envelopes of the A-4s, EF-111, F-9J, F-84G, F-86, F-100, F-104s, F-105s, F-111, and RF-101 have received a major upgrade based on the flight manuals. With the F-104s, the flyer must maintain a high speed in order to accept a loftier turn rate. For more than information, view the Aircraft Envelopes.xls found in the USNRaptor FA Folder nether 'Misc' and in the USNRaptor FA Google Drive.

- The Mirage 2000s have received an update; in item in its weapons carrying capabilties. The M2000.PT has been adjusted to come across Delusion 2000-5 MK 2 standards; M2000E.PT now meets Delusion 2000EM (Arab republic of egypt) standards.

- New shipping accept been added, merely not all are in the Playset. Some of these aircraft can be found in the Aircraft.zip file. The new shipping are: B-47 Stratojet, F-84F Thunderstreak, FJ-4 Fury, F-101B Voodoo, OV-10 Bronco, and U-2 Dragon Lady. Some are rough drafts that still need refinement.  Likewise, Airwolf has been removed from the playset but can still be establish hither. To fly the Shipping.naught planes, simply copy the .PT file of the aircraft (and at that place associated .SH and .Film files, if any) into your Fighter Album folder . Information technology doesn't matter if you lot use private files or .Libs, it'll still work.

- The F-86F and F-84G have received texture updates. New F/A-18 textures can be found in the pics_sh.goose egg, but have not been incorporated into the Playset. Preview pictures are included for all shapes/textures within the pics_sh.zip file.

- The J-xx texture crash error for .LIB users has been stock-still.

- Egypt 1995 Entrada has been updated to Playset five 3.5 standards. The campaign includes more aircraft choices, a dissimilar selection of weapons, and changes in several missions.

January four, 2022

- The F-4E (Desert), F-4G, and F-four FGR.2 have received an updated chaff / flare package.

- Fixed the issue with computer pilots hesitating to drib cluster bombs. Too, the triple pack of CBU-87s (CBU87M.JT) has been replaced past a twin pack (CBU87T.JT), with the campaign files (.cam) for Egypt 1995 and Vlad-U.s. reflecting this change.

- Arab republic of egypt 1995 Campaign has been updated to Playset v 3.4 standards.

December 25, 2021

- The USNRaptor Playset five 3.4 has been struck by another thunderbolt; the A-10C Thunderbolt Two that is. The new A-10C is sporting the markings of the 122nd Fighter Wing 'Blacksnakes'. The Litening Targeting Pod is permanently mounted on station 10 (does not appear on the player weapon load screen). This pod allows the actor to deploy JDAM and laser-guided bombs. The default weapon load uses modernistic weapons; however, the player can still mount a wide multifariousness of older weapons as before. Furthermore, the A-10C has datalink. To simulate this, hitting Shift-R and Shift-K. The A-10A (A10.PT) no longer has its Infrared ability.

- The Ukraine Campaign is updated to v 3.iv standards. In improver, 5 .film files were added for the campaign to change the shipping carrier number to 73 from 69. A special .lib by Zephyr was added to remove the video sequences. See notes in Ukraine Entrada .zip file for more than details.

- Afterward 26 years of playing this series, it finally occured to me the airspeed displayed on the HUD is in knots true air speed (ktas) equally opposed to miles per hr (mph). If you lot observe slower speeds in aircraft, it may be due to this fact. The flight envelopes for the A-10, IL-28, MiG-25, and the P-three have been inverse to reflect this.

- Using actual flight manuals, the A-1E, A-1H, and A-37 take received major upgrades to their flight envelopes and weapon hardpoints. The erstwhile ones carried manner likewise many weapons and flew rather crummy. The A-37 no longer has its Infrared ability.

- The A-6s accept received another functioning update to the flight envelope. Afterwards reviewing the nautical chart, the A-six can pull up to 6.5g with a symmetrical load, and 5.2g with an asymmetrical load.

- The IL-76 Mainstray (Air) is now labeled the A-fifty Mainstray (Air). It is even so IL76.PT, so no missions will exist affected by this renaming.

- The F/A-18C has had its AIM-120 mountain removed from the wingtips. The F-15E Sidewinder station has been divided in 2 to allow mixed load of AIM-9 and AIM-120 (this was listed in the flight manual). The F-14D has received a crust / flare upgrade (AN/ALE-39 plus LAU-138).

- The GBU-12 (GBU29.JT) and GBU-12 Twin Pack (GBU29P.JT) take been added. The GBU-16 and -16T destructive power was underrated. That has been corrected.

- There have been a few link changes. The primary change is the 'usnraptor ftp folder' has been moved into an http folder. The link is now labeled 'usnraptor FA folder'. Another big alter is the improver of a link to Discord - Fighters Anthology. All are welcome to join and chat with other Fighters Album players/modders.

Oct 7, 2021

-  USNRaptor Playset v 3.three  is at present available. Remember, a change had been fabricated last update to the .Lib file arrangement (refer to June 12, 2021 update).

- Cheers to CAG Hotshot and months of dedicated, hard piece of work using his magical shape & texture wizardry, Fighters Anthology now has a properly shaped MiG-19 Farmer. The texture beingness released now is an early on, preliminary version. The final texture, along with its appropriate crash shapes, are currently being developed.

- The UH-ane 'Huey' has finally arrived. It incorporates the UH-1 shape by CAG Hotshot and a texture blend of CAG Hotshot, USNRaptor, and default UH-60 graphics.

- The 1950s Russian IL-28 Beagle has been added. If it looks vaguely familiar, I used the E-2 shape / texture from USNF'97.

- The A-10 Thunderbolt 2 has received a major overhaul of its flying envelope and crust / flare dispenser.

- The A-7A (A7V.PT) now has a new, classic expect similar to the F-8 and A-6A.

- MiG-29 Fulcrum-C (Snow) is now MiG-29 Fulcrum-A with a gray camo top and a blue bottom. All MiG-29s now have the same "height-of-fuselage" engine intake graphic.

- Several aircraft have received changes in their chaff / flare numbers. As more (credible) data becomes available, more updates will be made.

- A Green camoflaged M-113 from USNF '97 has been added. A few other tanks accept received custom light-green camo textures.

- A new map: the Open Ocean map. It is zero but ocean. Top Gun and Scrambler missions have been converted to utilise the new map.

- For modders, the Layout of JT file.txt is now bachelor. Basically, the .JT file has been mapped out.

- Finally, the link for CAG Hotshot's VNFA Wing Forum has been added to the Active Duty links list.

June 12, 2021

-  USNRaptor Playset v iii.ii   is now available (located only in FA google bulldoze). A change has been fabricated to the .Lib file system . For those using the .Lib files, FA_6.Lib has been divide into FA_6A.Lib and FA_6B.Lib. When you upgrade, be sure to delete FA_6.Lib.

- Upgrades take been fabricated to several shipping: J-7E, JH-7 (New Texture), J-8 (J82M), MiG-29, Su-15, Su-24, Su-25, Su-27, Su-33, Su-35, Tu-26, and Tu-160. The Tu-160 in real life has ii bomb bays. Notwithstanding, due to limitations of the game, I had to divide the two flop bays into four. For realism, do not use more than two types of weapons at a time. Each type of weapon should occupy two bomb bays.

- Upgrades have been fabricated to several weapons: AS-x (New), AS-sixteen (from Kapset iii), FAB-250, -500, -1000, PL-7,PL-10. A new Electro-Optical Viewing System (M61P.JT) is at present installed in gun-less bombers. The AS-16 now has a significant range to information technology.

- New aircraft include the IL-76 Candid (No Radar); graphics thanks to CAG Hotshot.

- Both Vladivostok 2004 campaigns have been updated (and improved) to Playset v 3.2 standards.

- Notation: some campaigns have non been updated in a long time. If yous play a campaign that seems to accept many defects, delight contact me at ocsdor@yahoo.com . This project is huge, and your assist identifying defects is appreciated.

May 9, 2021

-  USNRaptor Playset v three.one  is now available (located but in FA google bulldoze). New aircraft include the C-141, F-4E with Jungle Camo, and the MiG-19.  The C-141 shape comes from CAG'southward IL-76 shape with radar dome removed. The texture for the C-141 was added by usnraptor. Thank you to CAG Hotshot the B-52D has a black pigment chore for its belly.

- The Yak-141 in one case over again has a graphic for its afterburning. The afterburner was featured in the US Navy Fighters series but not in the ATF series. The ATF version was transferred to Fighters Anthology. That oversight has now been corrected. Unfortunately, the F-35 nonetheless does not show an afterburner.

- A new inclusion to the playset is the Flight Sit-in Teams addition. Named Flt_Demo.zippo, these files are not needed for normal Playset part. Information technology includes aircraft from the USN Blue Angels and USAF Thunderbirds (both past and present), as well as the RAF Cherry Arrows. In that location is a smokepod (though information technology is "buggy") and an airshow mission. I did not create the original shapes or textures, merely did add the harm textures. The .cipher file includes both the FA_7.LIB and the Individual Files. Follow the same instructions as with the regular Playset; either install the .lib OR the private files, but not both.

- Other changes: The AGM-78 and AGM-88 have received much improved operation. The MK-82 28-pack can now be dropped past AI (and homo) pilots from up to 32,000 feet and in any time & weather. One new hangar has been created and another was discovered in the "back files" of Fighters Anthology. The Vietnam map received a slight adjustment, notably losing the airport at Nam Dinh.

- The Linebacker Campaign is now available in recognition of the 49th anniversary of the Linebacker operations in North Vietnam. It is a 25 mission historically-based campaign that covers US Air Force operations from May 9, 1972 until February 12, 1973. Players volition fly missions in the A-vii, B-52, F-4, F-105G, F-111, and a very special plane at the end.

- The Aegean Campaign has been updated to Playset v 3.1. Along with it is a slight update to the Greek map and additional weapons to select from.

- In the Agile Duty section of the links department, the usnraptor FA Google Drive has been added. This drive will store files in a like manner as the usnraptor FTP binder, minus the ftp part. If you have trouble finding or retrieving files from the FTP, then you should look for those files in the FA Google Drive. Currently, the large files (greater that four MB) are located only in the FA Google Drive. For some reason, Frontier is not assuasive me to upload large files to my http & ftp anymore. The likely reason is considering Frontier Sucks !!! If this page e'er goes offline, be sure to continue to check the FA Google Drive for updates.

January 11, 2021

- USNRaptor Playset v 3.0 has received a slight update. Thanks to CAG Hotshot, the P-3 Orion has now received its proper shape and texture. Through his great shape modification skills, he was able to remove the attrocious superlative and bottom sensor radomes that were on the default P-3.

- Also, almost of the old single missions have been either updated or removed/retired, every bit well every bit the addition of a new single mission based on the Kuril 2018 Hot Tracks mission.

December 25, 2020

** Notice: Reports have come up in the new .LIB files are causing problems, so far only on systems newer than my Pentium iii, Windows ME system. As a remedy for at present, the Playset 3.0 zip now includes the choice of loading the game using the sometime private files system that has been used up to this signal.  If your Fighters Album is having pregnant crashes exterior the norm, and then delete FA_5.LIB and FA_6.LIB and install the individual files instead.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

-  [ ** See to a higher place Notice**] Yous wanted it; at present you've got it. LIB files are now in USNRaptor Playset 5 iii.0  . The previous private playset files are now in .LIB files; specifically FA_5.LIB and FA_6.LIB. This was done to make upgrading playsets easier on the user.

- The Campaigns.Nix is now located inside the Playset Zip. Campaign and single missions remain as individual files, every bit well as optional music files.

- The F-111 has lost a couple hardpoints. Originally, the real F-111 had four hardpoints under each wing. Even so, when the outer hardpoints were used, the wings had to remain forrard swept limiting its airspeed to nether 300 knots. In society to fly faster, non only did the weapons demand to be jettisoned, then did the pylons. The flight manuals exercise not authorize weapons to be carried on those hardpoints. Therefore, sadly, I removed those hardpoints. I did add Sidewinder hardpoints which were authorized, only rarely used. The gun pod still remains loadable in the bomb bay.

- The Air to Air missiles have received a damage increase by ten percent.

- Some precision guided bombs have had their weights increased to match existent life. Several aircraft have received a weight carrying increase of their hardpoints to represent with this change.

- The water belfry file has had a proper noun modify from WTRTWR.OT to XTWR1.OT. This matches its' shape file name.

November 22, 2020

-  USNRaptor Playset five two.8 is now available.  The main change is the modified helicopters accept had their fuel quantities doubled, with their maximum take off weight increased to reverberate the boosted fuel.  This was washed to compensate for the limit on adjusting the games fuel consumption number to an amount between 0 and i.  The amount of forward main rotor bract tilt has been increased to allow faster forwards speed while in thespian flight fashion.

- The F-16s take been adjusted so TER and MER tin be carried on the inboard pylon.  A two-seat F-16D has been added.  The F-15Es fuselage hardpoint has been adjusted to better reflect the limits of weapons carriage. The KFIR has been updated to reflect a more advisable weapons load. F/A-18A,-C,-D take received minor adjustments that shouldn't affect the campaigns.

- Some of the weapons take received minor changes; most notably weights. The air-air subversive power is still under evaluation. Feel free to eastward-mail me your opinions on the matter (e-postal service at lesser of webpage).

- Campaign v2.viii.zip has a much needed update to the Israel Campaign 2001. The main alter in the campaign is the removal of the Super Hornet, and the inclusion of the Tomcat and Greyhound. That's right, the player volition fly a very deadening first mission on the C-2A Greyhound.  Weapons choices and recommeded aircraft accept changed to reverberate changes in the game over the past 20 years.

- Several of the single missions and text from my more than immature days has had offensive and 'salty' language removed.

November 8, 2020

-  USNRaptor Playset five 2.seven is now available. The principal modify is the add-on of the F-16C Cake 50/52. The new F-sixteen uses F16F.PT, and has congenital-in IR and Laser (i.east. LANTIRN). The F-16A and -C have received minor changes. The -A is modeled afterward the F-16A Block fifteen; the -C later the F-16C Block 30/32.

- Some of the aircraft guns have had their round weight adjusted to closer reflect real life. As an instance, the GAU-8 circular now weights 3 pounds instead of ane pound.

- Campaign v2.vii.zip has had 2 entrada updates. The Taiwan 2014 campaign is updated to v 2.7. The Egypt campaign is updated to 5 2.6, only should piece of work fine with v 2.vii.

Oct 23, 2020

- The Ukraine Entrada has been updated to Playset v ii.6 standards. A few other modest changes have been made to the Playset and files take been updated in the Campaign prepare. Both Playset and Campaign set have been updated merely still remain version two.6 .

September 25, 2020

-  USNRaptor Playset v 2.vi is now available. The main change is the addition of damage textures to several aircraft. Now, when an F-86 gets shot out of the sky, the aircraft maintains the F-86 texture instead of reverting back to the MiG-17 wait. Pics_sh.cypher and BA_TB shapes.naught have been updated with the new harm textures. Read the text files (using Notepad) inside the .aught files for details.

- The A-7D and the A-7F (with afterburner) have been added; the A-4M and HH-60 have been removed with the UH-lx replacing the latter. A few other aircraft have received minor changes.

Based on Baltic Campaign 1976, the player gets to fly Soviet Cold War aircraft Mi-24, MiG-21, -23, -25, -27, Su-15, Su-17, Tu-16, Yak-38, and a hugger-mugger paradigm super fighter.

-  USNRaptor Playset 5 two.5 is now available. The main modify is an overhaul of the Air to Air missiles. I did some inquiry and created a system to get the missiles' destructive power (based on size of the warheads) to have some course of conformity to each other, and hopefully perform closer to existent life. The player will observe changes in range, and more/less lethality than earlier. The chart I created can be found in the Weapons - My Icons folder in the FTP which is still labeled AC Guns.xls. Hopefully, these changes in the missiles won't grossly change the fight dynamics of the campaigns in a negative way.

- Another alter involves the remaking of the MiG-25 and MiG-31 flight envelopes. Not much information was found, and then I used some 'artistic liberty' in creating what I hope is a better representation than the default models. The take-off speed is rather high. Rotate the olfactory organ upwardly five degrees around 170 and information technology should lift off around 205 to 210 mph. Cheers to CAG Hotshot for having the MiG-25 article posted on his website.

- Other items: F-5s no longer bear AIM-seven Sparrows. This may affect game play in the other campaigns, notably the Taiwan campaign. The AIM-54A Phoenix has returned, and is carried on the F-14A Tomcat. Some more aircraft icons have appeared for the campaign. Cheers to Zephyr for the new weapon icons I used. The Saab fighters have been relabled with their 'JAS' designation.

- Entrada v2_5.zip is here. Entrada.zero will at present be numbered with its matching playset. Hopefully, this will alleviate any defoliation that may occur. The new campaign is included in this file.

July 4, 2020

- The Baltics 1976 campaign has been updated to the current playset (v 2.three). Some single missions have been modified and many mission conference (.MT) files have been reformatted to meet a modern standard. The Entrada.zippo file has been updated to reflect these changes, as well as the individual zip files found in the FTP.

May 24, 2020

May 22, 2020

- Yankee Station 1964 and Yankee Station 1972 campaigns take been upgraded to USNRaptor Playset v 2.2 standards. The A-7A (A7V.PT) has been corrected with the proper guns; this plane was simply added to the electric current playset (v ii.two).

- The DC3.PT had recently been retired from the playset, causing problems in several various campaign missions. Those problems are now stock-still (as of May 22, 2020).

- Deadening piece of work in progress on modifying the Korean Map and making a scenery list. The NSK.MM file tin exist establish in the 'Maps' ftp binder. Some default Quick Missions may not play correctly with the new map, since some airports have been created/ moved/ deleted to more stand for real existing airports.

April fourteen, 2020

- Kuril Isle 2018 campaign is here. This is a 35 mission campaign highly influenced by the original 1997 Kuril Islands campaign.

The majority of the missions were designed to exist flown using the USMC F-35B .

- Likewise, USNRaptor Playset v 2.2 is at present bachelor. Changes include a new Five-22, FSX has become the Japanese F-2, a minor fix to the F-16s, the British Lightning has a different pigment job, and the Mi-24 Hind will now attack fighters. Somewhere during the progress of game development from USNF to Fighters Album, the Mi-24 went from attacking fighters to running from them. That is at present stock-still.

March 3, 2020

-Rolling Thunder is here. To commemorate the 55th anniversary of the beginning of the Rolling Thunder campaign in North Vietnam, I have created a new 40 mission campaign. The player will experience a variety of historically inspired missions flying the  A-1E Skyraider, B-52D Stratofortress, F-4C/D Phantom IIs, F-100D/F Super Sabres, F-104 Starfighter, F-105D/F Thunderchiefs, and the RF-101 Voodoo. It can be found in Campaigns.nada . You will demand the latest USNRaptor Playset v2.one to play the campaign.

- USNRaptor Playset v 2.i is now bachelor. As usual, there take been some updates & additions to various aircraft, weapons, scenery, icons, etc...as well as a new North Vietnam map.

-The biggest change to the playset, however, is an overhaul of aircraft guns (excluding some bombers and the Ac-130). I did some inquiry and created a system to get the guns to accept some class of conformity to each other, and hopefully perform closer to real life. The player volition notice much college rates of burn for some guns, and more/less lethality than before. The nautical chart I created tin can be found in the Weapons - My Icons folder in the FTP.

- Minor update (March 11) - since this latest release, a few minor adjustments have been fabricated, and the Taiwan campaign has been refreshed to work properly with playset 5 two.1. Both the campaign.cipher and playset are updated since March 3.

- If whatsoever errors/troubles are found with the playset in relation to the role/gameplay of other missions/campaigns, delight contact me at the e-mail accost at the bottom of this page. Thanks.

December 4, 2019

- USNRaptor Playset v 2.0 is now available. As usual, in that location have been some updates & additions to various shipping, weapons, scenery, icons, etc... However, the biggest modify is the removal of the campaigns and missions. These will now exist available in a separate file called Campaigns.zippo .

The reason for this modify is because Fighters Anthology has a total file limit. With everything added, the limit is exceeded which causes the game to crash. Therefore, I recommend players upload the Playset files first, then add maybe ii or three campaigns at a fourth dimension. When washed playing those campaigns, just delete those specific files and upload other campaigns. In the future, I may listing the other option.

The latest campaign is now complete. It is the Baltic Campaign 1976 . Players will now wing the Buccaneer, Draken, F-4G, F-15A, F-104G, F-111, Harrier GR.3, Jaguar, and the Viggen confronting Soviet MiG-21s, -23s, -25s, -27s, Su-7s, and the new Su-15 Flagon.

Finally, saving the best for terminal. Thanks to CAG Hotshot, Fighters Album now has its first biplane in the class of the AN-2 Filly. He created a superb looking shipping for all to savour. As those who accept played the Yankee Station 1964 campaign know, the final mission involves shooting down an AN-two Colt (based on a real mission).

April 3, 2019

- Added the USNF'97 Su-37 to the shipping/retired folder. It is not implemented in the playset. The links listing has been modified. Keep an centre on updates as work continues on the F-35s and JDAMs. Due to restrictions of the game, the F-35s will not have born light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation designators (hence, the creation of JDAMS).

March 15, 2019

- Added new/changed JDAM weapons and icons to folder. War machine Designations link added.

February 10, 2019
