SF2: North Atlantic

[boulder 6]

I´m not able to take off from Nimitz with a Corsair, not even without any payload. An explosion happens or the speed is not enough and that´s it. I have zero modding skills. Help, CombatACE wizards, you are my only hope.

Wingman now calls small AAA fire directed at player (or was that implemented before?)

Most confusing, for first few times I was scanning all the sky, map included to spot the bandit on my six

[Gr.Viper 131]

or was that implemented before?

That's an old one already

[+Dave 2,322]

Well despite the bugs which we know TK will fix, this is a great sim. Much better than I thought.

- This bird cant roll past mach 1?

 

 

 

Nothing wrong here. I achieved Mach 1.2 on the deck, and just short of Mach 2 with a loadout of buffaloes, 'winders, and sparrows at 37K.

[+Major Lee 18]

The USS Zwilling?

[+ianh755 196]

FC - how was your roll control after Mach 1? I'm having similar "issues" with the stock F-14 with a lack of roll authority above Mach 1.

 

The Black Map thing on mine I've found is down to Zoom levels, zoom in and the map reappears?????

yeah will spend this whole weekend digging...

Running standalone

 

MAP is black on mine - but zooming in will get the proper coloring.

 

Yes the controls page is porked - the description doesnt match the control - but this only starts at some point down the page - have had to guess what to change.

 

Assume "Vampire" call from Hawkeye is when the bombers launch missiles

 

Iceland terrain - nice IMO - but I think the noisenormals just been bumped up due to the land shimmer I get.

 

F-14 RWR wont pick up certain SAMs - might be out of frequency or something.

 

My E-2C seems to fly over the Russian fleet until shot down - can still hear his voice though so assume he bails out and resumes from rubber dingy

 

bombers are hard to take down with all their counter measures - nice challenge - not betting an AIM-4 would score any hits with that amount of chaff.

 

Good selection of advanced Mig-23s

 

Different music

 

Cloud, viewlist and huddata have been added only so far.

[ArturR 17]

First test with 3rd party stuff

 

 

 

 

Man can I say that avionics in Tomcat is just awesome? Its a big step forward.

Yes new F-14 seems a bit sluggish in the roll above M1

I've seen a recon Bear dodge 4 Sparrows, 2 Limas and 1 Phoenix... only one.

Noted the roll rate as well thought it was just me but so far I am having lots of fun... Need an A-6 though as the A-7 just gets creamed rolled in on a task group with Krivaks Kashins and god knows what else and all 16 of us had a real bad day I think the entire strike group got it all the Escorts the Prowlers the Sead guys and the Hawkeye what did we all kill 1 Yak!!!

You don't fly low enough Check the last couple of pages in screenshot thread.

The only way to fight that would be to load a strike full of ASM's and hit them from BVR. Going against them like that is suicide.

[+Swordsman422 61]

Really liking the MTT mode available for the Buffalo. You can lock up 6 targets and ripple-fire your AIM-54s with hardly any trouble.

 

Some of the decals are pretty generic, one squadron has none, and some are just incorrect. As soon as we can extract stuff again, I'm going to pull them all out and tinker a bit. It's a little disconcerting seeing VF-211 using the CVW-1 tail code or VF-14 and VF-32, sister squadrons until 1994, using separate airwing markers.

 

I think I'm going to make low-viz versions of the squadron decals where appropriate and modify the Overall Grey skin to utilize them. Once I'm happy with those, I'll probably post them here for everyone.

Dont remind me....

[+Jarhead1 27]

I dont care what they are, lol. If I can shoot it down then ill be happy! I need to brush up on my ACM then. I havent flown the sim in a few years. Just a tad rusty!

[JRP1973 5]

Okay Downloaded it and now I can fly but shooting is a different matter no matter how I mod the controls... states one thing in the Default list and does something completly different on the Joystick even after reprogramming also has messed up my mod folder so looks like I will need to re-do that one as well... grrrrr

 

 

I have the same issuewith the controls as well

- iceland is a huge empty desert

 

And this is why I don't understand the fps drop, no rivers, no forests no cities yet my fps are cut in half or more, on the other hand I can run for example Stary's Germany with 1024 tiles no problem...go figure...both in NA btw.
