Well, I guess that TW, to make its product more interesting, will add some new features like new plane/s or terrain/s. My guess...

I hope too. Let's be patient :)

If TW will add new terrains/planes etc... this will confirm that TW is arrogant and ignorant. And does not give a shit about what the players' community would like to improve. 

As I said many times before - This game does not need new planes or terrains. 

Do you want a new plane? which one? Making new plane is easy-peasy stuff.

Well, I totally agree with you, that it would be the best solution, if TW sets it's focus on fixing or improving SF2-engine stuff instead of bringing new models or terrains. But I have to disagree on the easy-peasy stuff. Probably for a few guys it is like this...including you. But for the whole majority it is just not so, if the goal is a plane that looks like one and not a cube-like thing. ;)

I agree with @yakarov79. I also get @Nyghtfall's point. TW created some decent aircraft 3d models, but the terrains? Dear heavens, they are atrocious! Not just visually, but also taking into account historical and geographical accuracy. The Vietnam terrain from SF2V is an absolute mess, which reminds me that I have yet to complete the WIP rework of it I have.

So, I'd rather have important fixes from TW, game engine wise. Terrains? Hell no, leave those to me and a few others who put passion and research into them.

well,  i used easy-peasy expression just to compare making models and fixing things that should be fixed. we know that making models in real is tedious work.

 

Just in case some will whine that we do not have this and that and also that model....

There is plenty of websites that offer ready models, purchase, and ask someone to export into Lod format.

Unfortunately a few of you are expecting SF3. That is not going to happen so you're going to be disappointed.

I'm expecting a version of SF2 that's officially W10 compatible and also looks a little bit better because it takes advantage of newer shaders  etc. My expectations could only be exceeded if TK throws in a few of those planes that are in his mobile games as AI only (because clearly he isn't going to do cockpit for them).

Agree. And finally game engine is ruining half of our effort, cause of stupid limitation like ground radar ..

In fact all we need is distance to ground target and it is max annoying that we can see this distance in game HUD, but no way to use it :stars:.

No Master :biggrin:. All we want is 1 or 2 or 3 ... datas that we can use. And game is using these datas, so we need only entries.

My thoughts

1) Listen folks have a lot on their plate even or especially being locked down.  I wish I coulda launched a mission pak a lot sooner than mid-July now but...  I also understand the SF2 developer has other games he's working on.

2) If I could add only one feature it would be for AI to be able to drop GPS-bombs easily.  No seriously.  Leave the terrains to others.  Planes and ships are nice but that can wait.

Well, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on SF2 for Windows 7 and see if I can get it to run on Windows 10. I hope it works because I love WOV so much. I was contemplating getting the SF2 WOV but, I think it's time I get more modern. Please stop me if it's a bad idea. I am a veteran flight simmer starting back in 1982, and I love Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have 1424 actual hours flying in RL. MS Combat Flight Simulator is one of my favorites.

Translation with google:

I am running SF2 (full version) on Windows 10 but if everything works well I have a small PB, impossible to see the effects
on the ground of the so-called Classic bombs. (Mk 81 83 etc) a setting can be?
I am thinking of buying the Windows 10 version to remedy this.

I don't know what "PB" is, maybe someone else knows, sorry.

      Hello everyone,

      I am  re-creating the posts after hte ideas came up about the name of proejcts and what it is about.  This project is to be known as  SF2 Avionics Community Pack (SF2:ACP for short), because the purpose of this projects is to create the assets for anyone to usse  for our mods, as well for customizing our SF2 installation.  You will need to put them into aircraft folder and customize the .ini   files, in order, for them to appear in-game.

      This is what I find so enjoayble and I noticed that not many simulation does this.  This s project aims to bring the realistic, immersive expereicnes in cockpits with actual textures for radar scope, RWR, HUD, and any avionics that is currently moddable in SF2 and aircraft mods.

      I will exlpain the limitation of SF2 engine, so we can get better pictures of what we can and can't do for now.  I said "for now, is becauuse I have the hope htat someday, somehow, someone manage to make it possible to make avioincs further moddable in SF2.

      1) Texture issues:  What can be done is chan ging radar scope texture.  But the problem is that, the radar symbols / lines colors can not be changed.  We are stuck with default green SF2 radar symbosl /lines / circles.  And eve with new textures, the radar lines / symbols/ shapes will be applied on top of it.  So it mean, if you have 'black line' on top of radar scope like A-4s as an exampe, the radar still overlap it.  

      Another issues is that, most of SF2 default aircraft does not have texture-able radar scope for 'turned off' radar, so it seem strange how CRT (texture) would suddenly show up when turnig radar on. I wished that the radar scope woudl be texture-able, so that it seem taht only radar lines / symbols / shapes would appear, therefore preserving the immersive experiences.

      2) Lighting, after attempting to use the actual colors of radar scope based on the pictures, as an example,  they usually show upup too bright comnpared ot another instructments / avionics in cockpit. So they need to be darken, in order to blend naturall in cockpits.  And another issue is radar colors of green, it need to be readable, therefore further darken the texture.  So they might will appear  darker compared to the photo.  (I am currenlty wokring on this part on both F-89s and A-4s radar scope and RWR new textures).

      3) Avionics DLLs, there are only two DLLs I believe, that we can use either one of Avionics DLL for early and modern aircraft.  But I still have the hope.  The reason why I have hope is because, I am part of the community that is modding Jane's series simulation.  That simulation is almost 30 years old and people still mods it.  It amazes me, therefore gives me hopes.

      Besides the lmitation, it does not stop us from wanting to create the mods that would improve the experiences in avioincs.  What inspired me to do this, I was customizing SF2 installation for early cold war era (My favorite era), in Asia, midddle east, and other theatre, along with later cold war era, I noticed that there is always room of growth and improvement for cockpits.  That is when I came up the awy to improve F-89 series radar scope, as you can see it in another theatre abou Stary's F-89 cockpits.  Then here it is, SF2: Avionics Community Pack!

      What would be great help if we can share the pictures and information on the avioinics for various planes, so we can get busy with the  avioniocs improvement.  

      If anyoneo have the requests for radar scope, or any avioinics improvement, it would be great help if the resources can be provided too.

      The next posts will cover what I am doing with both F-89s and A-4s  gunsights, radar scope, and rwr, along with F-89's radar scope.

      So I'am playing this strike fighters 2 black sea crisis addon and I believe I did everything right . The campaigns work for all factions except United States air force . When I select them and a specific squadron of aircraft and click on generate campaign ,the game just crashes to desktop . The same thing does not occur for Russian , ukrainian air force  and united States navy . What could I be missing here . ? For some reason , the USAF aircraft are easily flown in single mission scenarios . Like the F16 will fly in single missions but when I try to click on its campaign . The game just crashes . 
       
      Your help is needed!

      Hi,
      a couple of months ago i discovered this gorgeous total conversion called "Yankee Air Pirate", and that the "REVAMP" edition for SF2 (the original one was for WOV) existed, and other awesome total conversions like "Drug Wars" and "Flight School" too, so i got ready to download them, but since i hadn't enough space at the time, i waited.
      Now i come back on the website to find out all the links and pages about the revamp are gone, there's only the original ones for SF1 series.
      Do anyone of you know why they're gone? Will they come back? They're maybe updating the mods?
      Thanks
