Making stock planes flyable

Recommended Posts

So ive read throught the knowledge base topics and this forum looking for a way to make the stock AC flyable.

For now I just have SF2, with the rest to follow in short order.

I'm brand new to the sim and figured before I start adding planes I should make the stockers flyable. If theres a write up for it Id appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction

Thanks!

You might wanna read the SF1 Knowledge Base which covers these topics very well.

Oh, no kidding. I didn't even think to look at SF1 series.

Thanks all!

So far it looks like adding mods to this is way easier than IL2.

Yup, substantially easier.

 

Be advised, however, that when you add the others in the series (SF2V/E/I/Exp1/Exp2), it'll automatacilly merge with SF2, and will erase/rewrite the pre-existing main ini for ALL aircaft -expecially the (normally) AI controled Red Air. So, once you've made the ini edits to make them flyable, you'll really want to have a "copy of ***.ini" in EACH of their folders Example:

 

/Aircraft/MiG-17F/Mig-17F.ini (standard)

 

and as a backup

 

/MiG-17F/Copy of MiG-17F.ini

 

(this one with all the necessary lines added to make it flyable, then it's just a simple 'save as....MiG-17F.ini', or copy/paste the needed lines INTO the newly (re)created main ini.)

Saves a hell of a lot of time ...

Im having an issue with the extractor.

DL's fine, but gets stuck on stupid when its "registering fonts". It just locks up, no progress on the loading bar.

There is still a program file in the correct location, but it cant open the CAT files, error says ERROR: Accessing external object property filename.

Running windows 7 if that matters.
