Spinners Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Hmmm. How odd. I've installed it (quad-merged) and all of the stock USAF and USN Phantoms have gone! Quote
Spinners Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Typical config.ini reads as follows; [TextureSet001] Directory=USMCGrey1 Name=USMC Grey 1 Nation=USMC Squadron=VMFA323 Specular=0.500000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 [TextureSet002] Directory=USMCGrey2 Name=USMC Grey 2 Nation=USMC Squadron=VMFA542 Specular=0.500000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 [TextureSet003] Directory=USNGrey1 Name=USN Grey 1 Nation=USN Squadron=VF142 Specular=0.500000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 [TextureSet004] Directory=USNGrey2 Name=USN Grey 2 Nation=USN Squadron=VF143 Specular=0.500000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 [TextureSet005] Directory=USNGrey3 Name=USN Grey 3 Shark Mouth Nation=USN Squadron=VF111 Specular=0.500000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 There's a lot missing at the top!!

+Gr.Viper Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Same here A few other planes have lost their pit ini entries too. Edited December 14, 2009 by Gr.Viper Quote
Spinners Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Well it's taken me a full hour but I've totally deleted Strike Fighters 2 et al and re-installed all four but without this patch! Quote
+sony tuckson Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 weird I patched two separate installation setups, nothing like that happened Quote
Spinners Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Hi ST - how are you mate? Just trying to problem solve here - Had you applied the previous Nov2009b patch? How about you GV? Quote
+Brain32 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 How to ensure that new shiny patch will not mess up your install: 1. Rename your MOD folder, just put a "_" in front of it 2. Create New Folder and name it the same way you named your MOD folder 3. Start the game then exit 4. Delete the newly created MOD folder, rename your original mod folder the way it was before patch.

+Gr.Viper Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Mine is a quad game install without any mods and updated with all the previous patches. With Dec2009 all US Phantoms lost cockpit entries, same goes for Israeli's upgraded Skyhawks. Deleted whole Objects\Aircraft folder - game regenerated them in the same bugged state. Waiting for hotfix. Quote
Spinners Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 Yes, just about the same for me. Quad merged and updated to the patch before this one and on W7. I did have a few mods installed (basically, the recent RAZBAM stuff) but nothing that would affect my USAF/USN Phantoms. Quote
+EricJ Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I'll just see what the hotfix does first. Quote
+Brain32 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I can confirm the bug with the missing planes I also can't open CAT #3 Error: Cat file size-data does not match (2).^A Since that is the CAT all F4 stuff is, I guess this is where the problem is Quote
eraser_tr Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I guess the CAT #3 explains why I did what brain said before patching and my phantoms are still gone. Inis are just fine. GRRRRRR Quote
TurtleHawk Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Update applied. No problems. There's an updated update available, now. Follow the link above. Who wants to be first to try it and report back...? Edited December 15, 2009 by TurtleHawk Quote
RichardG Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Sweet, DX10 for the older games (older than Israel2). Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Rambler 1-1, patch applied, all systems in the green. Had a small FPS drop, though. I think I'll lower the shadow detail and maybe the terrain detail... Quote
Luiz Carlos Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Rambler 1-1, patch applied, all systems in the green. Had a small FPS drop, though. I think I'll lower the shadow detail and maybe the terrain detail... Any problems with WOV2 Air and Ground War Expansion Pack? Quote
stingray77 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Same question for SF2V Expansion Pack Gold... I already asked Eric about that in the related thread. Will let you know if he doesn't directly in here... Quote
Helmut_AUT Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Are the DX10 shaders worth it? The other improvements I don't really need (I already have A-7D in campaign and stuff, don't need no subtitles...). With the ENBSeries mod, DX9 rendering is very fast also. But if DX10 does visually improve the look of the game, I might risk the update. Quote
stingray77 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I was (mainly) hoping for the Dec2009-patch solving the "scenery-stuttering". TK was able to cure that with the SF2I-rollout, but SF2I doesn't correspond well with the SF2V-Expansion Pack... So, maybe..... If I had a Force Feedback-Joystick, I might have liked that it is supported now, too. But for all the rest included in the patch, I think I don't need that THAT much (as far as I learnt from the readme) - I guess... We'll see. Quote
+DWCAce Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) When I patched up my SF2/E/V installs, I noticed a few differences. The HUD's only show numbers, no scaling. Also, the external tanks are no where to be found, as well as bunch of missiles. I did a complete uninstall/deletion of the SF installs and the save game folder, reinstalled, patched, and used the method mentioned in the post on page one, copying over a previous backup (pre-patch) of my saved games folder, to no avail. Suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Edited December 16, 2009 by DWCAce Quote

+DWCAce Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Eric, I'm not trying to convert a/c to Gen2, just trying to unpork my patched install Quote
