Hi everyone,
I just noticed that the speed indicator in the F-14 Tomcat by TMF (TheMirageFactory) only shows up to 800 kts, and the Mach indicator does not move, not letting you know the speed of the aircraft if you have your HUD turned off.
As you can see down here, i'm at Mach 2.23, but the indicator only shows 800 kts and doesn't go above. Obviously it adapts to my altitude, so if i'm higher, then the IAS is lower, but still should move, making it impossible flying at high speed without HUD turned on as i have it down here:
Another issue, maybe even worse than the previous one, is that the fuel indicator shows wrong numbers, or as i may think, it shows "a number less". For example: if i have 20000 pounds of fuel left, it should show 20000, but it shows 02000. This is a theory on how it works, not confirmed, and i'm gonna explain you why i think it is like that:
I hardly think i truly have 2000 pounds of fuel left, cause i choose Fuel 100% and tried climbing and flying for a long time with full afterburner, and the numbers slowly started going down, even reached the point of burning the engine at Mach 2.30and the fuel wasn't gone yet, it showed i had like 00700 left, so i presume it's 20000 in reality, otherwise i would have been out of fuel in no time, since it's a quantity even under the bingo quantity, but i flew for minutes and minutes in full afterburner, and at 8x speed, so. Speaking of Bingo, there's no bingo indicator.
Here's a picture of the fuel indicator:
I tried the default F-14 cockpit, and even if that one shows correctly both speed and fuel indicators and even if it's a great cockpit, i personally like more and find more realistic and immersive the TMF one.
In the end, since these two indicators are crucial, especially for flying without HUD, and the fuel indicator especially, since there's no way to know how much fuel you have left even with HUD turned on other than the cockpit indicator.
So, what i'm asking is:
Is there a way to fix these? A mod that remakes the indicators? Or another cockpit that is not the default one that i can use to swap this one?
Thanks in advance for helping me.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how to customize the numbers after your callsigns, since it always gives me the same ones.
I think i managed somehow once, a bit of time ago, but now i forgot and have no idea how to.
I'm not talking about how to customize the callsign name, but the unit number after it.
As you can see in the Roster and in the picture under, i get "Fast Eagle 1-1" and "Fast Eagle 1-2"
Here are some examples:
The numbers on the tail, wing and nose numbers are customized, cause i managed how to change them, choosing them individually for each unit in the mission file by changing "AircraftNumber=" and typing the number, like "2" (as for 202). It doesn't change by typing the whole number tho, like 202 by typing 202, but it goes by typing the number that corresponds to the list of numbers you have. For example, In a list that goes from 200 to 400, you will have to type 10 to get 300. Here i just typed "2" and "7" since the list starts from 200
IIRC, in the past i just used to type the Aircaft number just like that, and in-game i had the proper number after the callsign, like "Fast Eagle 102", not just the number displayed on the plane livery.
How do i do? I'm pretty sure that it's possible to have "Fast Eagle 102" on my screen HUD and in the Roster
Thanks in advance for helping me.

Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group F-35 Lightning II Mod
This mod requires Strike Fighters 2 and a working installation of
the Operation Darius Mod available at the Combat Ace website:
Strike Fighters 2
https://www.thirdwire.com
Combat Ace
https://www.combatace.com
Direct Link to Operation Darius
https://combatace.com/forums/topic/74627-operation-darius-final-part-1-of-4/
What Is It?
This is a mod for Strike Fighters 2 and Operation Darius that adds the
Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group to the squadron choices when flying
the Operation Darius campaign. The original Operation Darius was limited
to the CF18 as the Canadian Forces multi-role fighter.
This mod adds the recently acquired F-35 Lightning II to Single Missions and
the Operation Darius Campaign for Canadian Forces. Canada, having recently
procured a number of F-35 jets for their fleet are replacing the aging CF18s
with the stealth and tactically aware F-35A Lightning II.
If you're a fan of this sim and the Lockheed-Martin jet, then this is your
chance to try it if you'd prefer to play as the Canadians.
What's Included?
I've included textures with proper Canadian markings, including the official
401 Tactical Fighter Group's own patch on the tail fins. These are simply
modded textures of one of the other squadrons texture packs, which were
crafted by the Operation Darius team.
I simply used their work and composited the 401 Patch and the appropriate
Canadian insignias on the wings, tail and fuselage. I've included the
original Photoshop layered files in case you want to alter the positioning
of the "Canadian" elements on the textures.
Installation:
Simply copy the two folders: Campaigns and Objects to your Operation Darius
mod directory which is located at:
WinXP or earlier:
.\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\[OpDarius]
Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1/Win10/Win11
.\Users\<username>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\[OpDarius]
where [OpDarius] is the name of the folder where you chose to install Operation Darius.
When you do, it should asked if you want to a bunch of files replaces, just replace all and have done with it and once they're done copying, you should be ready to go.
Thank you to the Combat Ace website, Thirdwire and to the Operation Darius team for making such a great
addon for an already awesome jet simulator/trainer. Thank you to the Government of Canada for
making the decision to upgrade our aging fleet of DEW line tasked multi-role fighters with the
now mature F-35A, and of course Lockheed-Martin for such an awesome aircraft.
Special thanks to the Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group.

Hello! My name is Elchfisk and I am new to the COMBATACE forums in general, but I wanted to showcase something I designed and am in the process of working on.
The Vought F-119 Vanguard, influenced by designs within the TFX (Tactical Fighter eXperimental) Program, which led to the development of the F-111, was considered to be a tri-service answer to the project. A high power, variable sweep fighter aircraft that would essentially replace the mud moving roles of the Aardvark, and the standoff interception capability of the Tomcat.
I'm new to Strike Fighters 2 modding as a whole, and I would love for this to be the first project I undertake in that scene. Is there any documentation or anyone that could teach and assist me in how to mod in an entirely custom aircraft like this? I'll keep this thread full of work-in-progress photos in the meantime, but if any experienced modders could reach out to me, I'd really appreciate it.
Before I go for now, here's another image of one of the several models, specifically the J79 equipped variant, showcasing the very unique wing setup, and variable sweep:
