I ll try and get these checked and uploaded soon too..

I'm getting ready to roll out a new release of our software. This is a huge undertaking and I hope to minimize down time. I'll keep this topic updated as things get closer or might interrupt our user experience. Your understanding and patience is appreciated during our remodel. Best regards, E

An AI controlled CF-100 fires some air to air rockets and actually hits what he's aiming at. I got the one in the lower left corner. I also hit some hangars and barracks and destroyed a friendly fuel truck but they can't prove it.

WIP, something to shooting at. The T-67. What if the soviets would have introduced the Object 167 into service? Object 167 was the successor of the T-62 (object 166) with a new suspension system (was later used on T-72) and a new turbo diesel engine with 700 hp instead 580 hp in T-62. Top speed of the tank was 65 km on road, 40 cross country. Range around 450 km. So it was comparable with a Leopard 1 tank, but had a much better armour. There were some versions of object 167. One with gas turbine (helicopter engine), one with 100mm gun D-54TS (comparable with britisch L-7 gun) and one with 115mm smoothbore gun and ATGM Maljutka (AT-2 Sagger) And no, this is not paper tank. This was really tested in the 60th.

A military operation on the 27th of December 2018, at the boundary between Mali and Niger https://www.defense.gouv.fr/operations/barkhane/actualites/barkhane-operation-du-27-decembre-a-la-frontiere-malo-nigerienne-focus-sur-l-engagement-de-la-composante-aerienne Edit : I wanted to link the picture of the 2000 and 200D, but it does not display :(

Fixed it for you!

Getting much appreciated help from a couple of guys on the Berg D.1 gun sights, which will require significant offset from the aircraft center line.

dmtdragon and crew has the single seaters to do some stuff for you as ive no time....give em time lol

making a aircraft and bring it in to the game is difficult enough but making a cockpit and try to get it work is a pain in the a..... F-4G_early cockpit , still a long way to go

TSC ... at least ;-)

Lofty_c - as I recall, you are running FE2 - since the north sea terrain is working, it may be a problem with how you made the other installs. It might be best to remove the others and remake them. There's a thread that shows how to make multiple installs here: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/81423-setting-up-multiple-versions-of-fe2/?tab=comments#comment-652121 When you have a problem it helps us answer if you can remind us what version you're using, what terrain you're using, what plane you were flying, etc. The more you can tell us, the better we can understand the problem.

Well, there is a simpler way. First of all, we need to know which aircraft you are trying to fly when an explosion occurs (you and your wingman start a mission at one point). Then in the NATIONS.INI file change the number of the formation (this file also needs to be extracted from MissionData.cat). For example, if such a nuisance happens to you with a Nieuport-28, you must find USAS in the NATIONS.INI file. Then change the the fighter formation for this nation as follows: [Nation001] Name = USAS DisplayName = US Army Air Service Alignment = FRIENDLY PilotNameList = NamesUS.lst RankList = RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList = Formation.Fighter = Fighter3 <------------------------ instead of the initial line 'Formation.Fighter = Fighter' Formation.Attack = Fighter Formation.Bomber = Bomber Formation.Transport = Bomber Formation.Tank = Tank Formation.MobileAD = AD PilotTrainingStandard = POOR

Hello everybody, The year has just begun, but we're already preparing the new update for you. Version 3.010 will be focused on improving the functionality of several modules of the sim and some of the changes are long-awaited and important. In the meantime, the work on all the Early Access projects progresses according to the schedule and many new things will be ready shortly after 3.010 release, in Q1 2019. Our map designers are finishing the map of the Southern Kursk salient that includes Prokhorovka. As we announced before, it will utilize the higher detailed landscape wireframe and higher detailed buildings damage. When it is finished, the work on the scenario campaigns for "Clash at Prokhorovka" will begin. The campaigns will recreate the large scale historical events of July 1943 to the South-West of Prokhorovka. Today we can show you several screenshots of this map: We plan to show you the new tanks soon - M4A2 Sherman, Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.M (to be released at the end of the Winter) and T-34 mod. 1943 and PzKpfw IV Ausf.G (to be released at the beginning of Spring). We also started the implementation of the major feature - animated tank crewmen. This is a very laborious and time-consuming task since each tank has 4-5 crewmen and each one of them has his own unique pose and animations (many can also lean out of their hatches). This forced us to find new technical approaches for character animation that open new prospects not only for the Tank Crew but also other projects: For "Flying Circus" project we're making the map of 100 km front line near Arras (Spring 1918). It will be made using the same techniques we're using for the creation of the large Bodenplatte project map, so it should also be a step forward visually. Here are first in-game screenshots of Sopwith Dolphin and Fokker D.VII which will be ready soon: For our main project, Bodenplatte, we're preparing the next wave of the new aircraft. FMs for P-51D, Fw 190 D-9 and Me 262 A-1/2 are already in the works, while artists create 3D models of Hawker Tempest Mk.V, P-38J-25, P-51D-15, Me 262 A-1/2 and B-25 Mitchell-II (non-playable). Here are some screenshots of Me 262 A-1/2 (its paint schemes and cockpit are nearly ready): You can discuss the news in this thread

Just set the path of your SF2-Installation under "extras-->settings" in LOD-viewer. Otherwise it doesn't know where to find the CATs.

Excellent! A collection of generic and low poly high rise buildings would be most welcome!

Yes, exactly, that's what I was going on to show you, in my next post. We were both posting at the same time, but my post took longer because of adding pictures. So I was responding to your earlier post, not the one you posted whilst I was typing. The trick is to resize the pop-up and place it exactly over the cockpit version. Use Alpha=1.0 to make it opaque. I have a set of folders, specifically named for individual aircraft. Each one has a different HUD_DATA.ini. Whichever Aircraft I decide to fly, I copy out the file and let it overwrite the current one. The only real drawback is the cockpit bobbing at certain flight speeds.

Seems very interesting. Yeah, I never understood how strategic nodes work exactly. Common users think that to create a campaign is a very easy task. But for a campaign to be complex and play beautifully, it takes a lot of in-game testing and playing. When you feel like, you might want to create your own thread about the campaign. Someone else could be interested.

Hi mate. Thanks for your fast reply again. Nah it's, all cool. The Knowledge base has been good. I wouldn't call myself new, lolz 😛. New to SF2 yeah, but not to modding in general. I noticed the reference in the TimorNo_DATA.ini to VietnamSEA.cat and I've got all versions installed together. I agree it's weird. I thought somehow the default airbases were being "overridden" by something I'd installed, but it's looking like maybe a _TARGETS.ini problem. I swapped a few objects with newer / updated ones and added China to a campaign I made for it. 😆 I didn't touch Darwin Int'l though or the other airbases that aren't appearing. Gone experiment more.. I'll try installing the terrain again minus any changes I've made. Like I said, it's showing up in TFD Editor so it's really weird .. ☺ *EDIT - STANDBY.. I'll let ya know *

Well, the terrain uses the VietnamSEA.cat archive as a base for stock objects like the runways and most buildings (the only runway models you see should be the two custom ones made by gerwin). If you do not have SF2 Vietnam, you must change which .cat archive to use inside the TimorNO.ini file. Have a look at my last post in the following link, and you should understand: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/92310-all-pilots-scramble-new-terrains-inbound/?tab=comments#comment-746136 I had already posted this link in a previous post. I reckon I never write this stuff in the ReadMe file, so it's my mistake if new users encounter those issues. Let me know if you solve the problem with my suggestion. Otherwise, it would be a very strange bug.

If you've now go SF2 just get used to running the basic sim for a day or two, see where things are kept, dont try to run before you can walk, it will only end in fustration.

Dear whiteknight06604, as you requested

this is a quick fix, just cut the engine place and fixed the fuel tank.

I think this is more accurate what do you think (for the auxiliary fuel tanks)?

or my pack from 2013

There's this one that I use....

Agreed. A lot of talented people have made the sim what it is today. Speaking for myself, it's a fun hobby that delivers a lot of satisfaction.

A while ago I started skinning Veltro's Potez-630 C3 as the bomber variant - the Potez-633 B2. The first skin will be for the Royal Hellenic Air Force, but others will follow. So far the changes include removing the navigator, altering the loadout and squeezing 8 50-kg bombs into the bomb-bay, and changing the armament to 7.5mm machine-guns. I have still to work out how to fake a partially glazed nose and cover some mapping issues. As I understand it, if an area of a model has not been mapped for the skin then you can't put a tga file over the area. Is that correct? Does anyone know how many 7.5mm rounds were carried for the forward facing and rear facing guns?
