Into Action

Over the Kuril islands.

Egyptian Fishbed-J's

You seem to be missing these.

Who? How? When? What?

Skins are all done, now ini dance will start

So to any Ace Combat Fans here like me, I found some voice packs from Ace Combat and I am thinking about making these to Speech files for SF2, depending what I can work with I try and as much of the speech files I can, These will range from 5, 0 and 4 voice packs @DEVIL11

that would be great Russ!!! That's really all it's been missing; That would allow the NA game coding to park them on the ship (after I change the "CarrierParkingSpan=" statement. Those inner wing sections (when exposed on folding would need meshing and mapping, but you knew that already! I'd just map those to a seperate sheet, as to not change the main aircraft skins.

Exactly. As I said, I see no real issue about this. We're talking about sounds from no longer sold videogames (Ace Combat trilogy for the PS2 from early 2000s), not the latest ones which are still sold officially by the brand publishers and/or developers. Long story short, the developers and publishers of the Ace Combat series (Bandai Namco) can no longer sell the mentioned Ace Combat titles due to licensing issues (they built aircraft with licensing from the likes of Northrop, Boeing, Panavia, SAAB, etc.). This does not apply to their recent releases. @russouk2004 3d models are a different matter (not the discussion of this thread), and that's what we should be more cautious about; I obviously agree about it. Obviously, admins have the last word on it. I think it's way more troublesome to see sound files from games which are still sold and copyrighted, such as IL-2 1946, Enemy Engaged, and Falcon 4.0, and those are already shared here at CA.

Yes, I know what you mean. It's a beautiful game series, especially for its themes and soundtracks. It's a pity it is so overlooked. It deserves more attention. AH was a good game, just not a good Ace Combat game. They should have released it without the Ace Combat brand name.

Little heads-up. The new cockpit 3d model is still in the works, a few fixes remain but it's giving a bit of trouble. When it is completed, I will release the package. The cockpit will feature more realistic MFDs, I will post comparison shots in due time. In the meantime, I also fixed minor issues; the real Raptor carries around 18,411 lbs of fuel, over 26,000 lbs with external fuel tanks. Now this is properly reflected in-game. It can't get more realistic than this.

I am almost obsessed with Ace Combat it is my life, I have played all of them, even though I believe 5 is overrated, AH is a guilty pleasure and 2, 3(JP), 0, 6, X and 7 are my favorite

I havent misplaced them...just saved somewhere among 100`s of dvds and cds lol

can we do some mumbo jumbo and have Fury 4 also. I know it is different bird...but...mumbo jumbo.

There's the mission five (aka "go" in Japanese) I was looking for in my brain yesterday!!!!

I use this little batch tool: http://www.simwarrior.com/sfp1/BackTrax.html It basically runs a lightweight music player in background. You can specify your music files and how they should be played, in order or randomly. It's not a perfect method, but it works.

Sorry this thread's been dead for so long. Work has continued on an "as able" basis. Although I admit playing around with the F-111 is a bit more fun than backroom stuff. Backroom Stuff Backroom stuff? Just made these two screens today: Granted, I'm probably going to replace the top one in the near future. But at least now when I boot this build up, it looks like a JASDF 2020 SF2 sim and not a Vietnam War sim! Working on background music as well. Hit a brick wall this morning importing this very JASDF song so went to this instead. GOT SOME NEW JETS... You'll have to pay close attention to see all of the new red jets coming. But the new MiG-31 is going to be a big hit. Also the Su-30SM with a more realistic/timely skin will be a but not the primary adversary for the F-15Js. Below are a couple preview shots: Finally, one more red jet announcement: You will be splashing Il-72s also. Yet you'll also be flying sorties in the JASDF F-35A & F-2A. Stealth will be important with the big radars of big jets you'll be up against, but also you'll be leading the grand finale maritime strike needing both ASM-3s and IR bombs. "WHAT IF" Also I've had some ideas of some "What If" scenarios that will be uploaded separately. Scenarios like: What if there was a JMSDF AEGIS destroyer helping cover the cargo ships getting away from the Kurils? What if that same JMSDF Aegis Destroyer was returning when the Russians mounted their alpha strike? What if a JASDF F-4 Phantom attempted a photo recon run of Russian ships? How close could it get before getting shot down, even with say... F-2A and/or F-15J escort? What if the JASDF bought from the RAAF as an interim strike-fighter the... RAAF F-111. To keep the F-111 airworthy for 10-15 years until sufficient F-35As would come online, the F-111 would be only for maritime strike and maritime reconnaissance with a Japanese F-2A radar & such to support the latest JASDF weapons. Rarely flown as the F-111s serve as JASDF's "big stick" against invasion attempts of its outlying islands to replace the F-1 + F-4 + a significant number of F-2Bs destroyed in the 2011 tsunami at a bargain basement cost. Figure this update should whet our shared appetites.

They thought you would get a mutual kill with active radar missiles but nobody considered an Archer from a Su-27 hitting a F-15J shooting back with a 20mm...

Inertia is probably in kgm (or Nm?). It's sum of masses multiplied by distance to CG. Three values for all axis. It determine force on steering plates needed to start turn or climb.

mass = kilogram inertia = wait for experts

Also here are the changes made to SF2 over SF1 you might benefit from some of the changes.

i made 2 desert skins for my F-4E`s , a standard version and a lo viz version , the above is the low viz version

A single tile walled town, somewhere over New Dhimar. Almost 8 hours of work to tod one tile but I would like to add a couple more versions.

Guys, You're creating a very beautiful and dangerous Raptor...

Wow, I didn't expect such kind words... And I feel like I have bothered you with a few requests of changes from time to time, LOL! Without your offer and determination to help (I was simply asking about adding missing rail launchers and pylons at the time), we wouldn't have this much detailed 3d model. Likewise, it was a fantastic cooperation! Without your great support (and Crusader's and baffmeister's) I wouldn't have accomplished this project; you guys have provided me with your expertise (modelling, FM, avionics) and raised the quality bar of it

was: now: most of the dark blue parts are unchanged...(nozzles and wings were processed also) the rest (colorful) is tinkered...one way or another. And I am not even a big fan of F-22. Reason and motivation is behind one person - his dedication to the project is remarkable. It was a great pleasure to work with him on this. It was not just demands and requests - waiting for the final product. It was full cooperation in all aspects. If ever you need to work on something - go with Menrva.
