Hello, good evening people.

I was back at playing the game after a while and it keeps crashing on me, especially during the campaign.

I'm not sure what causes it, but it happens always after i order my wingmen to attack something (my target or not), seemingly happening after they lock onto something.

I'm currently patching the game through all the official patches (Merged, June 2012 as of now - but going through July 2013 as i'm writing this)

I'll keep updating this topic as i go on, but if there is no way fixing it by patching, is there something i can do (compat mode, messing around with .cfg, whatever) to correct it?

You need to specify, are you playing with the base stock game, or are you using mods?

This is a common bug when you fly heavy bomber aircraft, but the stock game does not allow to fly with those. So either you are using a mod, or the patching goes wrong and the issue exists with flyable fighter jets. Can't you download the latest installers from ThirdWire's store?

i have patched the game through the latest one, for some reason it still crashed. Another thing to note is that it happens mostly on the Desert (aka OG SF2 map) while other maps/executables such as SF2E or SF2I it doesn't happen, at least not as regularly

Update: Seems like what is causing the game issue is, whenever i ask my wingman to fire at an air target using specifically the AIM-7D Sparrow (fresh install again, btw) the game goes bananas and it crashes me to desktop

delete everything in the mods folder or just rename it. run the exes again, to rebuild new one. DO NOT ADD ANY MODS.  Restart the game, play as normal. See if the issue returns. If it does, then there's something majorly screwed in your game installs (the exes), which there is no repairing of.

If it returns to normal, then it 's something you added. That's all we can do, as you've really not stated the issue clearly. Terrains (should) have nothing to do orders to AI wingmates.

Yeah, i'm not quite sure what is doing that as i tried to run the .exes unmodded and it gave me the same results.

Anyways, thanks boys!

It happened to me, too when I was adding cockpit to fly a stock plane which was meant for A.I. only. The solution it worked was to change its AIRCRAFTROLE= in plane's dataini file, from BOMBER to ATTACK. Do that and your troubles will end. But all these works ONLY if your installation is flawless, of course. If you installation is screwed, you have to do as Wrench instructed.

      Can anyone help me with this campaign for ICELAND02 V2?
      I took an existing Campaign for ICelandNA, edited all the bases to existing bases in ICELAND02, changed the strategic points too, to the same or similar locations on both maps, but when I go to start it, the aircraft/squadron I chose is run over and the game puts me in a random Hawkeye.
      Before I changed all the bases, etc., effectively converting one terrain to another, just changing the terrain from one to another, the campaign started normally without any problems regarding the aircraft/squadron I chose, the only problem was that after a single mission the campaign ended. , saying that the strategic objectives had been achieved.

      I've attached the files below, if anyone can test them and eventually help me, that would be cool.
      If there is a campaign already made for ICELAND02 V2 and someone has it, I would also be grateful.

      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.

      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.

      Guys, despite the supply limit being FALSE, dates checked and everything else, I can't make the weapons appear on the weapon selection screen.
      Only few weapons appear, like fuel tanks, some bombs and etc... any tips?
      I'll attach the campaign files below if anyone wants to try:
