Also recommended is running the IL2 exe, also the IL2 launcher exe (if you are running one of the modpacks), in Win7 compatibility mode. Speaking of modding packs, I recommend the "VP Modpack" since it seems to have the best graphics of the various modpacks available - yes, there is "BAT" but that thing is huge, and (in my humble opinion) WW1 flight fans are better off looking into running fully modded FE2, modded ROF, and of course the wonderful WOFF (ultimate and platinum editions). Happy flying, Von S P.S. Disable "complex engine management" and "wing flutter" in the IL2-46 sim menu for more flight physics realism, since those two don't seem to be modeled all that well - and besides, the AI is then less at an "uber" advantage - and more competitive with you. My personal favorites mods are BAT, Ultra Pack 2.0 and Dark Blue World. I'm starting to get into more WW1 gaming ever since playing Verdun on my PS4 mostly as the Tommies since I am British. I am interested in the Falklands War and the mod on Strike Fighters surrounding it is quite amazing especially the ships Canberra is highly detailed. I need to get some LODS from A-Team like the Sopwith Tri and the Plafz and the heavy bombers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to get some LODS from A-Team like the Sopwith Tri and the Plafz and the heavy bombers. I've heard good things about the DBW (and CUPS) mods - one of these days I might try installing those since I can then try out the standalone WW1 modpacks for IL2-1946. BAT is thorough but from what I've read you have to install all-or-nothing with it (DBW/CUPS was more modular since you could get only the era you want for it). If I find some free time I might try out WW1 just for kicks in IL2-1946. There is a much better Pfalz (made by Geezer) and available on pages 17 and 18 of the "New Aircraft" thread here on the FE2 forums (direct links to the Pfalzes, and skins for them, follow below): https://combatace.com/forums/topic/91066-new-aircraft/?page=17&tab=comments#comment-746182 https://combatace.com/forums/topic/91066-new-aircraft/?page=18&tab=comments#comment-747022 Also check over the other great aircraft models that Geezer made, and that are available on those two pages of that thread (freely available and they work well in FE2).

Happy flying, Von S I'm working on doing some personal modifications for the SFP 1 Falklands mod, I managed to extract the Nesher and the Harrier GR3 from the CAT Files complete with cockpit. Been quite a hit and miss as the first service pack update crashes when using the cockpit lods and the 2008 update removes the weapons but works like a charm with the last update before the 2008 patch. Doing the Daggers Loadout was annoying but managed to sort it out. The Frame Rate is smooth as hell, smoother than SF-2 as well I like the Flight Model on SFP1 than SF2's. It runs well when using the ENB Generic. I do have question is there a way of transferring SF2 Aircraft to SFP1 as theres a Mirage IIIEA model I want to carry other. P.S is there a way to chat privately Edited January 25, 2020 by JohnLewis141997 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P.S is there a way to chat privately Hopefully some of our SF1/SF2 specialists will have constructive advice regarding lods/framerates/loadouts etc. I'm assuming that it's possible to carry over some aircraft from SF2 to SF1, in the same way that some of our FE2 flyers have managed to get aircraft from FE2 running in FE1. Crawford and others may have more info. on this since they fly some second-gen. aircraft in the first-gen. TW sims. I wouldn't know anything about that since I've done the opposite - carried over some data inis and aircraft that were made for FE1 into FE2, and also carried over some aircraft from FE2 to SF2. To chat privately with CombatAce members, you should be able to click on the message tab/option near the top of their profiles, unless they've turned off the private messaging feature.

Wrench 9,419 Posted January 26, 2020 Quote transferring SF2 Aircraft to SFP1 Nope. No can do. SF2 uses lods in Unicode. SF1/Wo* uses ANSI coded lods. 1stGens can't see those lods. (converserly, SF2 sees both. Which is why NextGens are better) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
