time: 1968 place: Cannon AFB, New Mexico during the Pueblo Crisis, 3 Air National Guard units were federalized, and placed on active duty there. One of these was the 138th TFS of the New York ANG. Here we can see on of their Sabre Hogs heading out to the bombing range for practice

I have uploaded version Beta 0.25 just now. Now an Admin must give his okay. Hope you enjoy the terrain.

allen, you need a couple more serials for the B models? however, i'll leave the rest to you two. crisisloaner; a note: find and download a copy of "USAAF_Stencil" for your tailcodes. will make your USAF planes closer to real, although Iron Eagle wasnt exactly the hieght of accuracy! mandatory screenies, or how to decimate a Soviet Fleet ....... .............and piss off MiGs

You beat me to it by an hour crisisloaner! I think Chappie flew an F-16B too, which would make sense, then either of them could make the rescue of Col. Masters. Unfortunately Chappie never made it to the target, having been hit in a tense dogfight with Bilyan MiG-23s And he was last seen trying to make it back over the Mediterranean.. Time to put on the music... Please can you share the Hades bomb and the Data.ini and Loadout.ini files to get the asymmetrical loadouts?

ok, looking up from an older mod, [BigBlade1] <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< or HideBits ParentComponentName=Wing_R ModelNodeName=Cylinder02 DestroyedNodeName=Cylinder02 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< this is the big thing your missing. basically, your turning the part invisible, but it comes back as the destroyed model if you crash DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE show from cockpit and damaage rating seem to be irrelevant

Bilyan MiG-23s...

Funny mustache.

Okay, thanks for the info. Edit: I removed the Krivaks from Sewastopol Harbour. Additionally i added some stock partolboats to the harbour. Lets see wheter they also cause a SEAD problem or not. Edit: Here the location of the target areas at Crimean Peninsula: More will come.

Hi All I am trying to hide various parts of Anglep AH-60 BattleHawk to make a plain UH-60 and it's not working. Has anyone else done this and can point out the error I am making? I am thinking its the ParentComponentName, but having tried fuselage, nose and various others I am a bit stumped.

The second Beta is released. Contains now reworked russian airbases at the Crimean Peninsula, a SAM network there, factories as targets, the Sewastopol Harbour and a little bit more. The number of target areas climed from 31 to 54.

dont know about fake rocket pods, but i made the Hound Dog Pylons on the B-52G_89 into gun pods so they could be selected in the dropdown menu. in my case i wanted them to be selected as there was teh shorter HSAB pylon and the longer Hound Dog one not the best examples out there, but you can compare notes and see if you come up with something that helps B-52G_89_DATA.7z AGM28Pylon2.7z

I'm leaving them blank like in the movies. 'USAF' F-16Cs patrolling West of Alaska, 1988.. (We need those weird Russian markings for the 'MiG-29s' to do Iron Eagle II full justice)

My only suggestion is instead of a fake fuel tank use a fake rocket pod with no rockets. This way your pylons will stay when you jettison your fuel tanks (ctrl-d) but jettison when you jettison all your air-to-ground ordnance (ctrl-j). By being empty the AI won't try and use them as an actual rocket pod.

Eureka!!!!!!!!!!!! It dawned on me that the StationGroupID limit of six was not for the game itself but only for the weapon stations that would be "visible" in the armaments selection screen. So what i did was use the StationGroupIDs till number 8 in the data.ini as I had done it originally, but have included the "hidden" entries ID 7 through 8 ( StationIDs 12 through 16) for all the mission types in the loadout.ini! So it appears that 2 birds have been killed with one stone; ..one, the user doesn't have to mess around the arming screen manually adding the "jetisonable" pylons, and two, in-game ctrl-j jettisons both the stores and pylons.. as in the real F-5C!!! Thanks a lot for all your ideas gentlemen!!

Hey daddyairplanes don't forget Doug Masters , he had the hades bomb... hades made quite an impression ... now, taxi for Col.Ted Masters !

1979 Borderwar between China and Vietnam

DisplayWidth=3840 DisplayHeight=1600 3840 divided by 1600 = Aspect-Ratio of 2.4 I got problems with anything above 60Hz refreshrate, but at 60 is works fine.

Very funny....very funny.......lol

Wow... Talk about a new person to SF2... Welcome to CombatAce Dave, we got plenty of people that can help out. Also don't forget to check out the Knowledge Base since you're new here lol

SitRep: The russian airfields are mostly done. Only the parking aircraft positions must still be fixed. I added some factory and storage areas at the Crimean peninsula, so that if you want to fly strike missions not only runways will be the choosen target. Screenshot: You see Sewastopol Harbor, as far it is already done. In the front is the Black Sea Fleet HQ complex, on the right the northern part of the harbour with some cargoships, warehouses and factories. On the left bank the beginning of the southern part of the harbour. It is not finished yet. If you use SF2NA as basic game you will find some Krivak frigates in the port. I think i will release the next Beta tomorrow.

nother pic from the crew chief's phone...

one half, Misawa Japan

It has uhhh been a while since i posted here ignore the grey/white ground objs in first pic its a png issue i think (hmpf)

nah, pretty sure Spinners did a mod on it. plans from the Chinese, license built by Lockheed was gonna post this in the WIP thread, but since i need a screenie.... just waiting the OK. big thanks to ravenclaw and the test team

Since I started playing this game in 2003, I've seen some really weird stuff..... but this one takes the prize!!! I guess we got them for dissimilar air combat training????

recently declassified photos of secret operation over Bilya. Until a few years ago, it was stated that COL Ted Masters had been released from internment by the Bilyans after intense negotiating..... (a request someone has been telling me about for a while now)

I could not resist to play the Vexin Mirage IIIC over its natural terrain : Djibouti :)
