+331Killerbee Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Check out the Second Line in the Roster...... That's how they show up in Game in Campaign Mode. Something You can't do in a YAP1/2 Install......... 331KillerBee Quote
Shaolin Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Are that two people? With a pretty lousy mission/kill ratio Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 Are that two people? With a pretty lousy mission/kill ratio Not if You are a Pilot and RIO of an F-4J in Vietnam........ Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 It leads to some pretty neat Stuff.......... Semper Fi! 331KillerBee Quote
Dreamstar Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I noticed Something similar in SF2E.... was playin the Red Thunder campaign and was escorted by an Ace.... then in another campaign when i was flying an Eagle i shot down a Soviet Ace... Quote
Gr.Viper Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 All pilots who score 5 kills in campaign become aces and get their name known. Historical aces are a different thing though... I wonder, how many years will it take TK to add a newspaper reports of aces being shot down. Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Historical "Known Aces" can display under 5 Kills. Even "0" for just a named Pilot like John McCain. And if You still have the "Kill" Entry in the Decals.INI of the Skin, It will display the Kill Marking. So, You basically can have every Aircrew that shot down a Mig in Game........ Each Squadron in Campaign can have from 01-99 "Known Aces". Edited August 17, 2009 by 331Killerbee Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 A "Known Aces" Rating automatically goes to 100. But that is 100 of what the overall Expirence Rating of the Nation is. For Example, If I have a VPAF Pilot that is a "Known Ace" his Rating is 100. But if the NVietnam Pilot Expirence Rating is 50, then that Ace is 100% of the 50. Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 BTW.....Osprey and Squadron/Signal Books are great resources for getting Historical Aces and Mig Killer Names. Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Also, This would work for Helicopter Pilots. If You made U.S.Army a Nation. It could have known Helicopter Pilots Names as "Known Aces" also..... Quote
Gr.Viper Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 If You made U.S.Army a Nation This sounds scary Quote
+331Killerbee Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 This can only be done with First Generation post Patch Oct.08 and SF2 Series. Sorry YAP Users........ Quote

mppd Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 This can only be done with First Generation post Patch Oct.08 and SF2 Series. Sorry YAP Users........ Hey, I AM using a post Oct 08 patched version of YAP2 - just that the helo flight models don't quite cut it yet, but I'm working on it (in between F-4 decals). Mike D. Quote

Mike D. Still wouldn't work. YAP1 and 2 is for User Generated Missions. The above is for "Campaigns" in a ThirdWire Series Sim. YAP would have to give up alot of their "Goodies" to include this. ThirdWire Sim with "Known Aces", around $30 Bucks max. YAP2 limited to User Generated Missions at $160+..... Pretty easy Math. Quote

+ST0RM Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 This looks like an excellent little tweak to the names listing to bring up the authenticity. Thanks again for sharing KB. Quote
