Few problems

[FalconC45]

Bought the new expansion pack #2 today and I'm having problems with my sf2 series shortcuts. My SF2, SF2E, SF2I, SF2V aren't working but my SF2I Expansion #1 and my SF2E Expansion #2 shortcuts are working. Do I need to repoint them to a new directory exe? Also I noticed the Firestreak missile don't have the seeker growl and the lock on growl. Don't have a sound mod installed, only the sounds that Gunny's wep pack had. The reason I want my other sf2 shortcuts to work is that I got different mods for each sims.

Firestreak is slaved using the radar. The letter A should appear on your gun sight when aquired. When you acheive the right intercept aspect and distance at the right of the gun sight (on the the glass part itself) another cue should appear in the form of an orange square this is the IR seeker locking on to your target. Close distance then fire away.

Apparently, neither the Red Top or Firestreak has/had a growl. I spent a couple hours researching them yesturday. Even though IR guided, they need to "see" the target via the aircraft radar. Neither track/manuver very well (Red Top was supposed to have limited all-aspect -read VERY limited!)

 

So, lock up the target, close to 2.5 miles or less, and hope for the best.

 

OTH, it's a simple matter to extract the weaponsdata ini from ObjectData001.cat, and edit appropriate line (you'll want to create a NEW weapons' folder for either/both missiles, and place in the /Weapons folder -REPLACING the older 2 from the BunyPak, if used). While not historically accurate ... it may incread PK

Don't forget to create matching 'main' inis for the weapons folders

If you want to train in FS/RT use, fly F.3.

Any ideas on why my other SF2 shortcuts not working? Anybody?!

Ignore the desktop exe problem, I fixed it. Felt stupid for overlooking the simple fix though.
