I just heard the news about California... Jokes aside, it's hot temperatures that will most likely wash the virus away, so we gotta wait until Summer. You guys don't want to be in my country right now... I hope the US takes this matter seriously, it's not to be underestimated at all. The virus is silent, it shows symptoms only after a mean of 5 days. Cases surge exponentially, so containment and lockdowns are necessary. Our European neighbors are sleeping. In a matter of said five days, I fear they'll be in bigger trouble than my country's. Stay safe, people!

Approved.

Latest version of my GUI mod has been uploaded, awaiting admin's approval. A few days before release, I was lucky to discover some old bugs which I have fixed for good. This mod is pretty much well polished and final. In addition to the support for the Campaign Customizer DLC screen, the mod package now includes additional single missions for you to enjoy! Once the package is approved, be sure to read the changelog.

Should I leave this in the Helicopter section, or move it to the What If section????? It's nice to have a new Blackhawk! Any plans for the regular UH-60 series?

As Gru would say... LIGHT BULB!!!!

@Wrench It's actually easy, I try to explain my steps. First of all, I use TFDtool to generate the terrain's water bitmap. Then, I edit it in a painting software (be it PS or GIMP, does not matter); I take the green and yellow colours from the extracted water bitmap of the IcelandNA terrain. You surely know those steps, but next one is important; once editing is done, I open both my water bitmap and IcelandNA's one in Paint. I simply copy my water bitmap over IcelandNA's one. This way, when I save it, Paint keeps the same file properties and file size of a proper SF2 water bitmap.

0.9 OPEN BETA FOR F-111 CCIP BY JOSEFK View File Here is a wad of avionics.ini mods for the SF2 F-111s by @FastCargo. Now granted I recommend @viper63a's F-111 add-ons to graft on top of 'em you can get here: https://combatace.com/files/category/630-f-111/ Basically what I've done is add a CCIP or Continuously Calculated Impact Point to the HUD. The intent is to give you the chance to be a lot more accurate droping Mk 80-series dumb bombs in the F-111. Especially since there is no feedback when bombing from the Weapons System Operator/WSO in SF2. Now I realize this isn't realistic for the days of the F-111 when there was absolutely NO helmet-mounted display that could project on top of a cockpit like now in 2020 with the Lightning IIs, Flankers, Fulcrums and arguably other front-line jets like the Super Hornet & Typhoon. Frankly from the research I've done most of the F-111 variants with the exception of the D likely never got a CCIP. The fact later models got a PAVE TACK to drop laser-guided bombs was a factor and of course, the F-111 had the Lead Computing Optical Sight that one can't program in SF2. So this copy-paste job of mine could very well be the next best thing with at least a realistic icon big enough to have some decent risk of circular error. Maybe there is better, hence this being an open beta. I would also like to incorporate terrain following into a bigger avionics upgrade... ;-).

I did this some years ago by hacking the A7-E HUD into the -D. But I couldn't get rid of the default sight texture being used as the CCIP marker so I never offered it up. It's good to have other options beyond the 'TLAR' sight & a bombing table.

Thanks Menrva. Just to reassure you and everybody else here that my people are locking down everything here in Washington State. First requesting businesses work remotely, then all big events like sporting events & auto shows closed down, and now the schools. It's hard to do, but a lot easier when we see what's happening in Italy. It's either this or Italia for republican democracies, I tell ya. At least I just got off a couple hour agos a big RealWorld response to a lawfare crisis around OLF Coupeville for the good guys. It'll be public by Tuesday. So I can finally tend to my flightsim hobby... says someone who might have a bit of a fever who decided 11/2019 was the time to start taking flu shots.

yea i just found one of the readme - Kesselbrut. Confirmed. Even Florian was using that pit in his SeaKing.

thanks brudda! Just getting wet (damn rain!) maybe it'll wash the coronavirus away!!!

Looks very nice! But as Bob wrote, it would be nice to have the regular versions of the Blackhawk.

They are ALL pirated. They turn up in a mod, the mod gets deleted. Simple as that We have a zero tolerance policy on pirated items Why morons continue to fuck around with this sort of thing, in clear violation of Site Policy, is beyond even my understand. They don't like it, our door swings both ways.

@JosefK There is no legal Su-57 for SF2 now, so all the ones you have are pirated models; actually, they should be all the same; you can easily see if they have the same skin mapping. russouk2004 was working on a proper Su-57 model. We'd better wait for that one.
