Can super packs like this one and the Tomcat SP be integrated with user-made expansions like NATO Fighters and Red Storm Rising or does it break those?

Yes, but you have to be careful. I install some of the super pack planes for my install of ODS, NATO, SF2NA Exp and Some F-111A for Vietnam Exp...But you can't just install and overwrite. First, I installed all the parts except the Aircrafts and Decals. Then surgically replaced the planes and the corresponding decals (or pieces there of) of the planes that were already in the pack.

The F-15A is fantastic. Beautiful flight model, beautiful cockpit, a pleasure to fly. Unfortunately something has gone wrong with your Avionics file.

The HUD graphics have incorrect path instructions, presumably because they were written before the HUD graphics were bundled up in their own folder.

So you currently have: ScaleImageFilename=cockpit\whatever.tga

But you should have ScaleImageFilename=cockpit\HUD\whatever.tga

Same with radar. All graphic files are actually in: cockpit\RADAR\whatever.tga, not cockpit\whatever.tga

Some of the individual files have incorrect nomenclature too since there is a mixture of prefixes: F-15_whatever.tga, F15_whatever.tga, HUD_whatever.tga.

Anyway, it actually was fun sorting it out because I love tinkering with avionics files. Sort of an added feature for crossword puzzle addicts.

But I thought I should mention it. I have this lonely feeling that I'm the only F-15A pilot here.

      Hi,
      after seeing the TMF F-14 has wrong and inaccurate speed and fuel indicators, i found out the default Third Wire F-14 has working and accurate ones, but i dont wanna use it cause the TMF Tomcat is better and the cockpit too more realistic too, so can you switch the speed and fuel indicators on the TMF F-14 with the default Third Wire F-14? And for fuel too? Do you need to 3D model and/or do something else other than edit some text files?
       And is it or it's not possible to do?
      Down here are 2 pictures from the correct cockpit in the default Third Wire F-14:


      And 2 from the TMF F-14 (the inaccurate one):


       
      Thanks for helping.

      McDonnell Douglas F-15A_AMI for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock F-15A to give a fictional F-15A  in service with the Aeronautica Militare Italiano during the 1980 - 2010 timeline and includes markings for 18° Gruppo, 37° Stormo.
      You'll need to have SF2E for the F-15A LOD's (not included) but SF2I owners will have the option of using the F-15A_Baz with minor editing.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-15A_AMI folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-15A_AMI folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!

      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.
