[Released] EMF v1.0.3a (BMS 4.34)
-
I just came back from near 2 weeks on Crete. As we were heading down there, we were blessed with incredibly clear skies all through Greece. Looking out the window I spotted Nea Anchiolos airport which I recognised straight away. I guess I never imagined an F4 theater could be so educational!
We landed/departed from Heraklion but apart from a couple C-130 and an E-3 AWACS, saw nothing more of real interest unfortunately (unless a static F-5 counts?). I really wanted a day trip to Souda AB but unfortunately the missus didnāt fancy a day sat staring at an airport in the hope some fighters took off/landed - so I told her no worries Iāll go back to Crete myself soon to do it.
First time in Greece for me, an absolutely beautiful country - I cannot wait to return, but for now I will be happy flying EMF Theater instead.
Hey Malc,
exactly where on Crete did you stay? Itās a magical island for sure, you can feel a certain kind of energy flowing through the landscape whereever you go. If youāre into birding there are a couple of very rewarding spots on the island as well.
Iām glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Corfu / Kerkeira (EDIT: Would be great to have LGKR in EMF, even though itās a civvy airport) for us in September this year, but weāll be back to Crete sooner rather than later.
All the best, Uwe
PS: You can pick up a bit of greek using duolingo.com, they offer a great (free) greek course which Iāve been doing for about 1,5 years now.

Would this kind of stuff be the reason many of the Greek airports are very low-res in Google Earth?
AFAIK previous Greek government requested Google to blur/pixelize all; military and government areas on the mapā¦
I have to return to Greece, I have an unkept promise to Tageas I have to make good on. The opportuntiy to catch up with other members would be good.
A comao mission with Kostas would be good.

Now that Turkey received their brand-new S-400 battalion, the EMF theater will be considered as way too interesting map to play withā¦ Although only S-300 is on the DB we will discuss internally the possibility to work adding this new system too at a point.
I should also remove the F-35 from the DB for THK following the circumstancesā¦ We will know next months if HAF will be approved to join the F-35 programā¦

Join the F-35 program like what? Offering f16 and f4 targets for the f35?
We barely made the bad decision (bad financially) to upgrade the F-16sā¦ our financial status cant afford them even if we sold all aircraft and each Greek for the next 20 years all their organs.
Such an option is just a dream.
We still spend like crazy for arms when we are a country of way lesser potential.
F35 will not bring anything. As m2k didnāt and as f16 didnāt.
You want to protect Aegean? Light up the s300 and let em come.
We are not going to attack anyone so whatās the point of having them besides the known money army race that they where spoon feeding is for all those decades.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T818A using Tapatalk

Hey Uwe,
We stayed in The Island Hotel in Gouves, approximately 16k east of Heraklion. We had great plans to do a bit of fair bit of exploring, but after one trip to Knossos Palace, Heraklion itself then Samaria Gorge last Sunday we had to admit defeat (mostly at my daughters behest) and spent the rest of our time simply lounging by the pool with coastal walks close by to break up the day. Shameful I know, but the hike through the gorge was brutal due to the heat (in excess of 35 degrees C) and I donāt fair too well in hot climates - Iceland a couple years back was much more bearable

I loved it, truly did. Weāve been to Paphos Cyprus a few times now, but there are only so many times you can tour the Troodos Mountains
We are already looking to plan to revisit next year and will look to explore the whole island with a hire car and several different locations for overnight stays. And of course I have to make good my promise.
Apologies for the OT posts!

If we speak in-person someday, I can deploy for you the history, facts and all analysis you will ever need to understand the situation a bit more proā¦ Until then, this is no thread for such conversations, please.
-
This is true, Raptor, and sure I agree with you.
But I also understand Artyās sense of frustration with certain choices, if I can express myself like this ā¦ then, you know, itās not said that the same is not happening even in other places.
However, I repeat, since we could get into explicitly forbidden topics in this forum, I pull back.With best regards.

If you mean the history of the S-300 well I know it as I believe almost everyone in this forum that follows military topics.

Good Morning Viper drivers,
I am using BMS 3.34. I noticed that this theater in the 1.02 version had two campaigns. now that I upgraded to 1.03a the campaigns are not available anymore. Is there any indication when there will be campaigns available in the 1.03a version?
cheers,
Windill

Campaigns will be back in v1.0.4. It will be released after BMS 4.34 U1.
-
Itās a wise choice by you, and I see itā¦ we have to see what better is in it before, and I too am just curious to unveil that.
So, letās waitā¦ with impatience, this time :lol:
With best regards.

Thanks for this update, Mystic and Raptor.
This theater interested me so much, especially after having included the Northern African area, and Iām always having fun when flying in it.
So, I canāt await for its next updateā¦ and if you might like that, Iām volunteering for beta testing.
With best compliments again and regards.
