+allenjb42 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Great stuff! Thanks very much for this one to all involved. Quote
Nightshift82 Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 And stuck at work....11pm can't come any sooner!!!!! Quote
+JonathanRL Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 That was bloody fast. I am impressed. Going to place my Israel 2010 install and give this a shot. Quote
ShrikeHawk Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 I'm SO looking forward to trying this. Thank You! Thank You! Quote
topcat II Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 This is so cool Great many thanks to all!!!! Quote
Slartibartfast Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 Thank you to everyone for this fine work... As to me I will be setting up a laptop for this especially... I am looking forward to this... Quote
Metatron Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 My first post! I am having loads of fun with your campaign, well done! Just a couple of issues, the Mig-15 cockpit seems to have no gunsight reticle. Also in the Halifax cockpit you can see a 'floating' co-pilot outside the confines of the pit. Also, I've been wondering-is there a leather helmet mod around for the Avia and the Spits? Quote
+eburger68 Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) Metratron: Glad to hear that you're enjoing the mod. The oddly placed co-pilot is something we noticed during beta testing (you'll see the same thing with the HalifaxTR as well). Unfortunately, I don't know of an easy fix for that oddity. The other issues you raise are easy to address, though: 1) MiG-15 gunsight Attached is a corrected COCKPIT.INI that will add a circular gunsight to the cockpit. Just drop the .INI file in your MiG-15bis folder, overwriting the existing COCKPIT.INI file. 2) WWII pilot figure For any aircraft you want to use a WWII-style pilot figure, open the DATA.INI for that aircraft and change the PilotModelName= statement (in the "Crew" section) to point to PilotLanc: PilotModelName=PilotLanc Best, Eric Howes Edited August 26, 2010 by eburger68 Quote
+eburger68 Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Folks: Last night I discovered some minor typo-errors in several campaign files for this mod. Attached are corrected DATA.INIs for the affected campaigns. Best, Eric Howes Edited August 26, 2010 by eburger68 Quote
Streakfalcon Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 want to save the bandwith regarding the readme; does this require the expansion pack or just SF2I? Quote
+eburger68 Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 ikon71: For this mod you will need the Expansion Pack in addition to SF2I. Eric Howes Quote
+eburger68 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Folks: Attached is a small collection of fixes for three aircraft: 1) Au-1: elevators now working properly; Column5's updated flight model used; bomb attachment points moved back (bombs were hanging off the front edge of the wing) 2) F4U-7: bomb attachment points moved back (bombs were hanging off the front edge of the wing) 3) Spitfire9c_IDF: cockpit.ini now properly named (so you can fly the aircraft) To install, simply unpack the attached .ZIP files and drop all three folders into the \Objects\Aircraft directory of your SF2I Mod Folder.

+Dave Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Eric I will get these fixes intregrated ASAP and reupload the mod. Quote
+Soulfreak Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Dave, remember to include the cockpit bmps of the wyvern! Quote
+Dave Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Dave, remember to include the cockpit bmps of the wyvern! Already added those and updated the file on the 10th of June. Quote
Metatron Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 You might want to have a look at the Mosquito fm, it rolls like an F-16, some mix up must have occurred there... Quote
+eburger68 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Metatron: Try the attached DATA.INI (backup your original first). This version makes the control surfaces less snappy. Eric Howes Edited August 26, 2010 by eburger68 Quote
+Dave Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 Eric want to send me a big fix pack and I will add and upload it right now? Quote
+Dave Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 You might want to have a look at the Mosquito fm, it rolls like an F-16, some mix up must have occurred there... The FM is years old. I am not FM person, so you have to use what you have. The FM people around here are too few and far between. Quote
Metatron Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I will try the new data file, thanks Eric. Quote
