Jane's USAF Super Pro 9.4 on Windows 10

[+Eagle114th]

Good morning everyone!

I have been looking for information on how to install Jane's USAF big mod package known as Super Pro 9.4 for Windows 10.

I have successfully set up Jane's USAF and have it running on Windows 10 with Tcklbrry patch. I have been spending a long time trying to get Super Pro 9.4 working.

The links for a fully upgraded Super Pro 9.4 are also unavailable. Many of the websites related to Jane's USAF and Super Pro 9.4 ar also not avaiable anymore.

If any of you have the information or the knowledge on how to set up Super Pro 9.4 or have the links to the fully upgraded Super Pro 9.4, please let me know.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

Eagle114th

Did the Tackleberry Patch work well for you? Everything except the .BAT file worked for me, so I the menus were all fixed but flying around gave me tons of stutter - unplayable. I had given up on IAF/USAF until a few months ago when I learned a trick to make the games work perfectly. 

Create a shortcut to the file, then in the "Target" add a switch like this: -SingleCpuOrders -Cpu2

 

The game hates multiple processors, which is what Tackleberrys bat file fixed of course, except that it never worked for me.

Ragnarokryan, Good morning!

Thank you for the reply.  I, too, had the problems with Jane's IAF and I solved it by using both Tackleberry's Jane's FA-IAF-USAF patch and dgVoodoo2.  When I used a fix patch only, there was a problem with Jane's IAF where it became laggy / slutter when entering a cockpit / hud mode.  I fixed the problems by using dgVoodoo2.

Note:  With both tackleberry's patch + dgVoodoo2, I am able to use a regular IAF.exe.

-------------------------------------------------------------

What I do, in order, to get Jane's IAF working on Windows 10:

1) I Installed Jane's IAF and patched it

2) Tackleberry Patch: 

https://www.moddb.com/games/janes-united-states-air-force/downloads/tackleberrys-patches-for-usaf-iaf-and-fa

NOTE: There is a IAF patch in a folder "JITP

3) Download dgVoodoo2

I copied all files from dgVoodoo2_72\MS\x86 to IAF main folder.

Then I copied dgVoodoo.config and dgVoodooCpl.exe to IAF main folder.

4) Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and I tweaked it this way (I am still learning about using dgVoodooCpl.exe):

5) Ran IAFCONFIG.EXE and make sure "Run Hardware Acceleration is selected

6) Run IAF.exe

-----------------------------------------

By the way, I am able to successfully getting Jane's Fighter Anthology, Jane's IAF, Jane's USAF, and Jane's WWII Fighters running on Windows 10.  I am working on Jane's Longbow 2.

Since I missed out Super Pro 9.4 long time ago, I want to take an opportunity to fly Jane's USAF again with Super Pro 9.4, so I can enjoy a fully modded Jane's USAF to fullest.  Not only for me, also for the community who is still modding Jane's sims to this day.  It is my goal to bring Jane's USAF back alive with the community.  

If you struggle to install and run Jane's USAF on WIndows 10, I wrote an instruction on how to set up Jane's USAF at this link:

http://jkpeterson.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2462

There is none another sims that are as good as Jane's series sim (Having the balanced between simple and complex).  Strike Fighters are good but in my opinion, they are too simple.  No air to ground locking for long range ATG missiles, no clickable MFD in a simple way, etc.  DCS World / Falcon BMS is too complicated.  Jane's IAF and USAF is perfect in the balance between both worlds.

At the other hand, IL-2 1946 is also perfect for me because I can disable a complex engine management and still experience realistic flying of aircraft, operate weapons, etc... Just like Jane's USAF.  Just jump into any plane, take off and fly each of aircraft realistically while operating the weapons, radar, etc...

I'm glad you were able to fix the cockpit lag with dgVoodoo. I tried that as well and was unsuccessful.

I did some digging on my hard drive and found SuperPro 9.4: here is a link on dropbox which I can leave up for a little while

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ky9j24npeqfw77p/AAC9UMQNPL0lDIJbKR9YS_hqa?dl=0

I've never installed it before so I don't know which order you should try. Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I learned a lot about Jane's USAF Super Pro 9.4.  However, I still am looking for more modding tools and add-on files for Jane's USAF and Super pro.  I still do not understand about using Super Pro launcher, DME, and UME right now.  However, I created the instructions on how to install Jane's USAF, Super Pro, and added the information from Super Pro README.  And to anyone who want to install and run Jane's Fighter Anthology, Jane's IAF, Jane's USAF, Super Pro 9.4, and Jane's WWII Fighters, here are the links:

Thank you very much for the file!  I am off downloading them now.  I am making backups of Super Pro from multi sources, that way I have all needed files.

EVERYONE,

It was recently found out that dgvoodoo2 causes unstable problems with Jane's IAF. It is still being looked at.  It is reported that if you press "ESC" in flight while using dgvoodoo2, it won't work.  It causes you to alt+tab then back to game being frozen.  It also caused problems with preference when assigning buttons.  If you have button already assigned, it'll alt+tab you and ask if you want to overwrite the assigned button.  After that, you need to exit the game and run IAF again.  I sincerely apologize for causing any disappointment with dgvoodoo2. I  am still figuring out how to solve the problems with laggy FPS when being in cockpit / HUD view (without dgvoodoo2), and at the same time, still configuring to see if dgvoodoo2 problems can be solved too.

I updated the information in Jane's IAF installation instruction. 

[ragnarokryan]

Try the solution I posted earlier. I didn't need to use dgVoodoo, only Tackleberry's patch to fix the menus/textures, and then I just created a shortcut to IAFJETS.EXE and added the switch to the target line in the shortcut. It's very stable, and very smooth.

I appreciate your helps. I tested it with a modified IAF shortcut.  Unfortunately, I still get a laggy cockpit / HUD after taking off.  

By the way, there is an alternative solution.  Instead of running dgvoodoo2, DXWind solved the laggy cockpit / HUD problems while allowing you to run Jane's IAF on a higher resolution with a proper aspect ratio.  I am able to run Jane's IAF on 1920 x 1080 while being locked in aspect ratio the way Jane's IAF was designed to run.  

The information is updated now:

Hello,

It's been a while since the last post on this thread. Looking for ways to install USAF since I had to deleted after my OS upgrade, I found this page whit an installation guide for Jane's USAF including a working download link for the Jane's USAF Super Pro 9.4 patch.

USAF Super Pro 9.4 installation guide

I haven't tested it yet but it's the only working download link for the Super Pro 9.4 patch I've found so far.

Tell me if it worked for you.

I recently tried to install Janes USAF (see my post at https://combatace.com/forums/topic/99914-janes-usaf-super-pro/). I found the installation files on this website: https://usaf.webflow.io/posts/super-pro-installtion. it looks like I'm missing the super pro tools. does anyone know where I can get these files? Also full instructions on how to install them would be good. The mod is very old and there seems to be no official source for it anymore. there seems to be a website with instructions (https://www.vnfawing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=31023#31023) but you have to register but the registration doesn't seem to work anymore.
