+Eagle114th Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) Hello everyone, I am currently workinog on J-2s / 5s / 6s and while testing them, I face F-86Ds during recon mission, I went into defensive tactic against them and they suddenly disappear from being sselectable target visually. I could no longer press T to have red square apeparing on taht F-86D to padlock them. I can only select another target besides F-86Ds. By switching to an external views to next aircraft, and I could see F-86D still flying. This puzzles me for a while and I am constanlty going through F-86Ds made by Wrench and Yak79. Going through the F-86D's data file, I noticed taht the [AIData] is missing is it required, inorder, for aircraft to remain being sellectable when encountering enemy aircraft? Here is data files from one of F-86Ds: F-86D-45_DATA.ini It is my goal to fix this, so any aircraft that is ecoutnered, does not suddenly become unselectable as target.

+Wrench Posted June 2 Posted June 2 not really needed; the AI data is mostly for the Game Controlled (tm) aircraft. Why they became unselectable as a target...in over 20 years in this game, I've never heard of that!!! This is for visual targeting, yes?? Or trying to lock the radar? 1 Quote
+Eagle114th Posted June 2 Author Posted June 2 Yes, it is for visual, by pressing T to have red square appearing on that target and padlocking it. When encountering F-86D, I could pres T and red box appear, then apdlock for a moment or so, then suddnely become unselectable (pressing T no longer work) and it onlya llow me to padlock on another target instead of that F-86Ds. It is a strange situation. Eagle114th Quote
+Wrench Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I can't find the Yakarov version, but looking at the original Sabre Dog -- in the "DetectSystem" section, find the MaxVisibleDistance line. I thinks it set waaaaaay to small! (500!!!!). Change it to like 8500, and test again. That's distance in meters from your eyeballs, and it just might be cloaking itself!! 1 Quote
+EricJ Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Got those pesky fighter sized cloaking devices floating around.... 2 Quote
pvince Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I would say it’s because they are too far, out of visual range. With T you can only select target that you can see (same for Y). Quote
+Eagle114th Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 Hello everyone! Thank you for the replies! I think I will do a ful re-installatino of SF2. it have been many, many years and several of former HDD and SSDs transfer. It's time to do reinstallatino of SF2 while preserving the mods folders. Just recently, I upgraded 1 TB SSD to 2 TB. But this one is a bit pain in ass, so I am investing into next newer external SSD. (For now, i am trying to torubleshoot the issues with new exteranl SSD, it kept staling in aninterval when saving projects fo editing images or text files. I amusing ScanDisk nvme ssd extreme by the way). At least Ihave one solid old SSD (1 TB) that I have all copies of SF2 files in safe place, along with the library. Cheers! 2 Quote
