your welcome...

Each skin folder needs to have its own hangar.jpg file. The absence of a correctly named hangar file results in the blank default hangar jpg. I already did a quick test and relocated my existing hangar.jpg down to a skin folder, which resulted in the hangar screen working correctly.

are you f***ing kidding me? that's pure f***ing bulls**t!! Every patch we get, something new is broken. Something that's worked perfectly since Day1, in over 500 aircraft mods.

 

ya know, it be great to actually have these little f***-ups notated somewhre, like in the patch read me. "Due to changes in coding, hangar screen will not appear as before. Custom hangar screens will need to be installed into every skin folder for the aircraft effected, as they now change with with skin operational start years. This only effect 3rd Party add-on aircraft, those originaly AI-only and newly added skins"

 

wow. just wow.

[Gr.Viper 131]

they now change with with skin operational start years

Nope. You pick the skin on the loadout screen - you see that skin in the hangar. Any year, 24/7.

Well I patched up my sf2v install to this patch, I just took up the crusader and waxed a couple of mig-17's with guns. I noticed that the AI seems to have a hard time controlling the 17 in a dogfight they were yawing all over the place and porpoising badly. My wingmen were yawing too but not as much as those MIG-17's. Not sure what to think other than somethings wrong here... ( perhaps they were all novice pilots?)Ive been mainly playing sf2E at the Feb 2010 patch level until now because that patch works great. The fading trees would be great if they were visible 10 times as far away... LOL.

Even more frustrating is the fact that it didn't need to be implemented this way. I've posted a suggestion over in the 3rdWire thread on the Oct2011 patch:

 

The new skin-dependent hangar screens are a nice touch, but the current implementation of this feature effectively breaks hangar screens on user-added aircraft and AI-only aircraft made flyable by the user. At present every single hangar screen for every third-party mod released to date is not displayed.

 

Would it be possible to tweak this feature so that the game looks first in skin/texture folders for a hangar screen, then looks one level up in the aircraft's folder (the previous location for hangar screens) if it fails to find a skin-specific hangar screen? In other words, use a skin-specific hangar screen if it exists; if not, use the aircraft's default hangar screen.

 

The suggested implementation would preserve the new feature without breaking the hangar screens already used by third-party mods.

 

Let's hope this feature will be re-worked.

Is it just me or have some of the huds stopped working f4's ,lightnings, f100 ?

[Guggy 0]

Having all the B52's in my campaign assigned to CAP and Escort missions :( I assume this is due to the patch, since the .ini files still have Strike as the primary mission.

Hmm perhaps it won't be called tomcat after all... makes sense.

[+SkateZilla 49]

SF2 : ICE

Sounds better

Sure. Put me down for 'two weeks'!

Sounds fishy to me...

[Guest Pfunk]

SF: Tuna. Love it.

[JediMaster 451]

I don't know, ICE is the ROF acronym, I don't know if TK knows that or not, but something tells me he'll skip it.

 

However, to date every SF/SF2 release aside from the initial with the fictional terrain has been named for the geographic location, be it a nation or a continent.

 

Therefore SF2: Iceland and SF2: North Atlantic make the most sense. If naval combat is going to be a feature of this, NA makes more sense as Iceland implies you don't go too far out from it.

[+SkateZilla 49]

BTW Tk already said on his forums, that just because the plane is on that list doesnt mean its in the game.
