yeah, you're gonna have to start dredging pretty soon, given the amount of silt in that river (<gr>)

I must rework the river mouth, because it does not really fit to the other coastal tiles. So it looks now:

Kaboom! To be honest, at low altitudes the watertiles are looking not very good.

F-4Ds eventually got the same wing pylons as F-4Es with the countermeasures mounted at the rear. F-4Cs never got those pylons, and hence never got built-in countermeasures.

What a great set of screenshots!

nope that is a F-4E only manual and yes it shows the AN/ALE-40 control panel , i do have almost everything that is available on flight manuals for the F-4E unfortunately i dont have the late flight manuals for the F-4C/D , but maybe in the future i will get them as well i do have a F-4C/D/E flight manual from 1973 and this one does not show the AN/ALE-40 control panel for all this aircraft , for the F-4C/D we should have a flight manual from 1980 up to 1990 to be sure

mounting the pylons with the AN/ALE-40 is not helping much , you need in the cockpit , front and rear , the AN/ALE-40 control panel and the wiring for it , with out it no chaff and no flares this is the panel in a F-4F rear cockpit there is a F-4C/D flight manual from 1984 - 1990 available at ebay .com , unfortunately they will not ship to germany so i can not buy it , in this manual you should be able to see if there are this control panels or not https://www.ebay.com/itm/221409795156?hash=item338d0d5c54:g:W1AAAOxyeZNTPytq&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoKLirUgBrrwgX44mMW%2BYEGqf3dnuVjbOqUgnWrqZn1dkjevZl%2FcudPuTGTQBZuvND%2FdqtXlZbwblz3PrH%2FWaQTWDjax4vzMx3NaUUCh8hJin7%2BKXj49IFnUvTMgVmcEOftPX8ML%2BQeHqUMfuqfFqxPuacppiBgFr3o2r%2BDWvL6EoNoXwM7yYd0esizV0KgToPajW8mS5HsSzkEr5QZvHxpo%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7KK35jUYQ

ya know, that old grungy camo works well over the Balkans...

I remember Gulf Knight!!! Holy mackeral!!! what a small world!!! Thanks GKabs!!

This is a major problem for the active homing missiles (guidance type 13). The AA-9B is particularly problematic in this case as the seeker range is set to 120000. There is no such thing as an active homing missile with a seeker range of 120000 meters. You can fix this by going to the data file and changing one line. Set SeekerRange=120000.000000 To SeekerRange=20000.000000 This will prevent the computer from firing at you until it can get an accurate range on you with its radar or it closes to within 20000 meters. This will force it to respect the same constraints the player must follow. You can also reduce the firing range by changing this line. MaxLaunchRange=120000.000000 Note that changing this line will also prevent the player from firing the missile at a longer range regardless of other factors. I recommend against changing the SeekerRange value for semi-active homing missiles (guidance type 12) as the computer must first lock you up before firing regardless of the range of the seeker so there is no point in reducing that number. Also, the missile seekers do not appear to be affected by aircraft RCS. I have had MiG-31s fire at my stealth aircraft from the maximum missile range without ever seeing me on radar. This stopped when I adjusted the seeker range.

Go to flight/HUDDATA.INI and change DisplayDebug for TRUE.

Flying the F-4C in 1986 is a challenge. You hope for the F-15s to take on the Flankers, Fulcrums, and Flogger Ks, but no they're off dealing with some Frogfoots, so it's up to the Weekend Warriors from California in their 20 year old crates to deal with them.

Back in the Bad Old Days, attrition was going to be a serious problem for NATO forces, forcing you to sometimes go with what you got for the mission tasking. So let's go kill a Hardened Shelter. This is called the I Lost sight of it: Where The F**k is it???!!!??? maneuver. Lost my wingman who decided to go chasing after a Sam Site....and ran into a nest of ZSU-23's. But the target was hit, and home at last.

I was not happy with the Mirage IIIEBR from the download, because it is a EBR-2 with canards. I wanted one without canards. So i took the Mirage5SDE, from TKs DLC pack 28, which looks like a Mirage IIIE, gave it the blue stock french Mirage IIIC skin (okay i modded it a little bit), made some decals magic and there it is: Mirage IIIEBR close to the look of 1982 (I know, they had not had the name FAB on the fuselage, but with it it looks much cooler.) If you meet a argentinian Mirage IIIEA in the air you have a plane and weapons of the same performance. Then decide the skill of the pilot.

Thanks for all your replies above. Much appreciated! I did reload TM drivers and trying the old Controls files is on my list of things to do but.... Here's a new twist in the last hour that may be a solution but not THE answer.... I transferred some old original install files from my old computer and so far SF2V and SF2NA work fine. So I guess I can keep downloading all my old stuff one at a time from the external drive I saved it all on. (I now have an excuse for the 10 year old crap I've got on my machine!?!?) I'll keep messing around with the new purchased SF2 Complete but I may have wasted $99.99 looking for an answer to a problem I didn't have. Thanks again to all.

Thank you for all these weapons over the years Raven. I've been playing this game since I was 14. You've certainly kept this great game up to date!

I had a similar issue and I solved it with the Default.ini, replacing the old file as my stick wouldn't work for some reason, even though it relatively works most of the time.

This discussion includes Ed Rasimus and other F-4 pilots describing chaff/flare deployment on F-4s, including clarification on the F-4C and F-4D in the 1970s: F-4 chaff/flare loads (narkive.com) As I originally posted: F-4Cs: never, F-4Ds late 70s/early 80s.

Nice storytelling

I can assure you that the F-4D got the countermeasures retrofitted toward the late 70s early 80s. They wouldn't have put on the pylons without putting in the panels. The F-4Cs were going out of service, and therefore did not get updgraded.

I haven't looked into your campaign data yet, but that's the most probable reason why it ends prematurely. You can make the ground war start at a later day, not as soon as the campaign starts. You can find out how by looking at the campaign data I made for ODS 30AE.

Hey there, big momma, "How you doin'?" I' I'm not sure if I posted this Arc Light pic before, but here it is again. Badgering the hornets.

Well then I'm doubly glad that you are now a member of the combat ace community.

Yes it was me lol 😆

Yes me too but I am one of the old members lol started 1991 with flight simulator, I remember going to the PC shop and paid a lot of money for 4 MB RAM and16-bit VGA graphics card to get the game running good and I was so amazed that my dream become a reality and I can fly. lol

I totally forgot about the Jane's sims -- USNavy Fighters, Fighter's Anthology -- man, I built dozens and dozens of missions for them!!

Flanker 2.0, IL2 Sturmovik and... SFP1 At school around 1985 I tested one (monochrome) of the first version of Flight Simulator. This needed a lot of imagination...

Young blood detected on radar!

Just learn about Blender and Virtual 3D Modeling couple days ago.. I Haven't create anything yet.. just slowly learning about it. For now, what I can do is scavenging free 3d model, import, export, basic blender tools, what tools for what, put the result in SF Mod, trial and error.. etc.. time consuming and head-scratching.. but its fun! Thanks Mr. Mue for this Gem, and Mr.Nyghtfall, who patiently tutoring me.
