MIG 19 Farmer assigned to blue side!??

[csb 12]

Vanilla install of SF2 is assigning MIG 19 squadron to Dhimar in Single Mission games.

I initially noticed this after installing SF2 Expansion 2 and the RealSky mod with some ini edits: I don't think either caused the issue, just that I didn't notice before.

I uninstalled and just installed SF2 with not mods, only control ini edits but still happens - about every 1 in 4 single missions.

I have then uninstalled and run registry cleaner but still happens.

The Migs act as friendly and if I shoot them then I get a friendly fire warning.

The pc has never had the game installed previously (I have not played it for at least 5 years - had Thirdwire sims from SF Gold).

 

Acer Spin 111-33

Celeron N4000

Intel UHD graphics 600

This laptop runs SF2 well; 20fps with high/unlimited graphics settings.

This is captured MiGs. Some enemy pilots changed their side and steal aircrafts. I have read about it in Dhimar's newspaper as i remember. its in aaa its in a number from last Saturday. try to check it out in ycentral city library of your city.

This is not an issue nor a mistake. The countries of Paran and Dhimar are fictional and both are allowed to use a pool of Red and Blue side aircraft by design in the stock game. This only applies to stock aircraft, or in better detail, namely to those who have ExportedToEnemy=TRUE in their data.ini file.

This behavior is also kind of realistic. Some Middle East countries (Iraq, for instance) had access to Western (British and French) aircraft, as well as Soviet ones.

yes. for example Ukrainian MiG-29s fight in Eritrean side against Russian Su-27s on Ethiopian side. I dont even say that soviet vehicles on both sides at Russia against Ukrain war

Aha! Thanks Menrva. If that's the case I think I'll do some ini edits. So glad it's not a bug or my laptop.

Good one, Bazillius, however I can't read Dhimari?

[bazillius 1,258]

Georgia agains Russia the same. Su-25 and Mi-24 on both sides. Moldova against russia the same.

i not overlooked this i just didn't understand the question of topic starter. csb. you can use userlist.ini if you dont like to fly wing to wing with soviet machines. But looks like China exported this migsto both sides.

All of my Third Wire Spitfires have

ExportedToEnemy=FALSE

I must do the same with my Vampires and Meteors.

don't forget the Hunters...

had some rather disconcerting encounters with North Korean Hunters over Yalu ....

[csb 12]

Yep, I set the export to enemy as false; thanks to Menrva for noting that specific ini.

Thank you all for helpful info.

TK stock Hunters or 3rd party Hunters?

[Wrench 9,848]

stock ones!!!! can it get any weirder?? 

Like Spinners, I've also encountered Commie (PRC & NK) Vampires and Meteors on the KAW map. I simply deleted the Vampires, and edited the Metor's data ini (non-exported in a Era/Theater specific mods folder)

And then there's these, the Spit's below

[bazillius 1,258]

But these Spitfires look cool, agree

Not that far from reality, though

If you say it so, at my Faroe islands terrain i had such strange encounters with egyptian Vampires. Strange because Egypt was not an allowed nation in this terrain. I deleted the Vamipe and all was fine.

IS that the title of a B movie?

[Wrench 9,848]

yes, even rejected by Netflix!!!  

[Wilches 1,172]

Vampires were Romanians, not Egyptians!
