9 pointsYou just would'nt believe some of the stuff some of us are sitting on......some from way longer than 7 years ago. Anything having Flogger23's name on it will be quality that takes time to perfect. Best thing folks can do is get Max ( or Blender ) and build your own......it really is not that hard, espicially if you just want something for your own use and not chasing the "glory" of having others tell you how nice it is.

5 pointsSorry man, time limitations, priorities, and RL sometimes do this, so, basically, the answer is: Yes! The main idea is to make a (again, no offense) more decent plane to go with the cockpit YEYEYE gave me... but it takes time... So, I invite you to join the painstaking world of modding my friend, and help us have more toys to play with...

5 pointsNo problem. Sometimes it's not easy to even know the proper keywords to search for. For your problem it would be e.g. "draw distance". Sometimes I use Google to search in combatace.com, e.g. with "draw distance site:combatace.com". I remember I already wrote something about extending the drawing distance: TL;DR in options.ini set ObjectsFade=false and in flightengine.ini increase DetailMeshSize If you want the fading effect (now for longer distances) re-added then apply the shader mod from the above post. TL;DR To extend the draw distances of target objects (e.g. airbases, ...) you must for each object in <terrain>_types.ini increase MaxVisibleDist and in <targetobject>.ini increase (LOD) Distance

4 pointsYou, impatient guys, want a full mod of this? I have the 3 or 4 different pits YEYEYE made for me, and most info to make them all but the newer versions and the ECM variant...

3 pointsImpressive! Thought - replacing the floats with retractable wheels, putting some guns in the wings, could perhaps turn it into a useful fighter?

2 pointsYou're in good faith, and I'm glad the situation was soon solved in the best possible way with the other modders involved. This isn't the first time that something that shouldn't be uploaded gets approved indiscriminately. As much as you're at fault for uploading it, someone else is to blame for approving it without the proper consideration. @FLOGGER23 I can surely wait, it's not my work and you decide what to do with it. If anything, this thread shows there's interest by many about an updated Su-24 so it may offer even more motivation to get it done. It's harder to work on something when nobody wants it, I know for experience. That being said, keep up the great work!
-
2 pointsAnyway, I would like to express my deep apologies for this and I will not ask for more
-
2 pointsI appreciate that, thank you. @FLOGGER23 if you like I would be more than happy to help you getting this mod fully ready for release?
-
2 pointsyeah just give Matt due credit i was on the A-37 team with hime back in 14-15 before he dropped off the face of the earth. he's doing ok now but still isnt personally active online at all about 6 months after he last added to the A-37 i got with the others and packaged what we had to release. so that would be a start of precedent with Centurions work

2 pointsI don't know who opposes this here at CA. I would certainly be happy to do it, but I entirely lack skills to do any reverse engineering. We've discussed this countless times; this is not programming in a specific language (something which I can do), this is on a different level really. And if nothing happened in twenty years (we've seen programmers much more capable than me produce tools to mod Strike Fighters better than ever) then chances are very slim that the game's coding could be reverse engineered successfully. Find someone who would do it and everyone would be happy. Sadly I don't know anyone with those skills that's interested in such an old game; if and when I get to meet such a person, that's the only contribution I could give aside from the knowledge I have about the game engine's limitations. If TK really wanted to help, he could have been more involved with the healthy bit of the community and shared such info. He has no interest in doing that and I'm not planning to beg him after what I consider very poor marketing decisions.

This is a full stand-alone pack, no other mod packs are required. This pack is a REPLACEMENT and NOT an upgrade for FastCargo's F-15 Super Pack. You cannot simply install and over-write Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack with this pack. Nor, can you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack. This pack contains higher resolution jpeg skin files, so if you over-write Fastcargo's pack with this one, you will never see the new skins. If you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's pack, you will lose all the latest data files for flight model, weapons loadout and etc. If you just want the upgraded skins, those skins are available separately in the Skins section of this site. A later versions of those skins are already in this pack, so please don't upgrade this pack with earlier version of Viper63a's skins. Please refer to the "Installation" section in the Readme file, it will explain how you can install this of both packs - The Mudhen Team!

1 pointHi everyone! after few miles of scrolling .INI files and testing everything on the game FINALY: " Cockpit Shadows " !! --! enabling process is same for each plane ! -- --! enabling process should apply on each plane you like to have cockpit shadows on 'em ! -- --! Be Advised !: This "Cockpit Shadows" has some little BUGs so we all should work on it together to make it better !-- It's better than nothing :D * Q: How to enable Cockpit Shadows? - A: All you need to do is to make a .INI file with the same name and right at the place your chosen plane cockpit 3D file ( .LOD ) is located. Example: !! [ Cockpit file are located at the folder with the same name (most of the times) ] !! SHO to Viper team F-16 BLK 30 to act like a test plane here the plane's Cockpit 3D model is the LOD file named " Cockpit_F-16C_B30.LOD " and above of that, our personally made .INI file; Now Inside the .INI file we should drop this : [Shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=5000 MaxVisibleDistance=800 ------------------------------------------------- * you are free to change the numbers ------------------------------------------------- here's an example file which you have to change it's name to the plane's cockpit file name ! plane's cockpit file name.INI *with this simple trick you can enable shadows for every .LOD file. feel free to ask. alexis99 thanks for that little help sorry for bad English :) hope ya'll enjoy! one love. plane's cockpit file name.INI

1 pointAll right I'm already do something to stop that page and asking admins to help delete the whole page, Sorry guys for your time, And thank you FLOGGER23 for your generosity.

1 point@Jimbib at this point I am the only one working on it (interesting how you got the pit from YEYEYE as this was a personal request and it was his last CA job)... That being said, I will continue my own set of Fencers as part of a re-vamp of the red plane series, the plane is crude at best (no offense) that needs more details, and the WIPs I have, haven't given me a chance to work on. If all agree to it and for fun matters, you may keep it. "Damage" is done already, hahahahahahahahahaha What you guys say?

1 point@simonmiller416 I see you have decided to upload this mod for some reason despite a) it not being your mod and b) you made no effort to credit the authors despite me stating who they were in this very thread and that we are very much still around on the forums. @FLOGGER23 this appears to be the Su-24 mod you guys in the Sukhoi team have been working on that I originally passed over from The Mirage Factory, are you guys cool with this? I can see the huge amount of painstaking work you had put into this in the stickied 'Sukhois' thread: I suggest if this mod is not ready for release that it is removed until the authors of the mod are happy with it. EDIT: I have just compared the .OUT files from what you have uploaded and my original source files, they are the exact same with the same poly count, file size and file date and not the since-developed version from FLOGGER23 and the sukhoi team. I can only imagine you received a copy of this mod privately in good faith and to not share it any further, but there is a reason it has not been uploaded by a member of The Mirage Factory yet and that is because it is still work in progress and not yet ready for release. Please remove this file at this point in time, if and when it is ready it will be uploaded here by the authors.
-
1 pointI will commence the upload Saturday , to give some time for people to learn about the event. Thank you and stay tuned for Saturday.
-
1 pointThat's much appreciated, I like when things are improved even more. The author of the cockpit should be Centurion-1, he hasn't been around in a long while. With due credits to all modders involved, I think it could be released as standalone.

1 pointYe-8 aka MiG-23F Built in 2 prototypes in 1962. It was nearly as agile as a F-16A, which was developed 10 years later. Development canceled in favor of Ye-231, later called MiG-23S swing wing fighter plane.

1 pointLadies and gentlemen! Our community most wanted entered (the FCK-1 for who reads the first time this thread) into its upper test phases. We thought it might be a good idea and a nice surprise for you, to let YOU (yes, you heard well, and yes, you are welcome! LOL), all, test a plane version. What we ask from you is to test it and let us know what you think of it so far and we embrace any constructive critics from you or ideas/suggestions you might have, to improve the model. The testing phase will last for two weeks, period after we would love to hear your input. Thank you all! Stay tuned and ready ;)

While upgrading the old Su-25s to Su-25M1/M1K, Ukraine also digitized their camouflage to make them more modern inside and out. 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade is currently operating Su-25M1/M1K, this mod is based on this unit as a prototype, I picked some numbers(From 30-51), but according to the wiki, the Blue 39/49 of the brigade had been shot down, so I deleted them. I originally made it for my personal campaign "West Wind", but I also hope that more people will get it Special thanks to: ShaKhrai, in order to save time, I asked his permission to use his existing files for deep editing; paulopanz, who contributed a refined Su-25 mod to our community; Usage: 1. Put the "299_TAB" folder into your Su-25 mod; 2. Put the "Su-25M1_Ukr" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects\Decals; 3. Start the game and read your Su-25, the game will automatically read the data. Su_25M1_299_TAB.zip -

1 pointSince I had a look into the shaders I also extended the drawing distance for fading objects. The modified object shaders: Update V1.1: fixed incorrect calculation of object distances outside the view center. sf2_extfadingdistance_shaders_v1.1.zip -Copy the shader files (*.fx) into the Terrains\<terrain> folder. -Adjust the variables fadeStartDistance and fadeLength to your likings in the follwing code section of both shader files: float fade_with_distance(float FadeDist) { float fade_alpha = 1.0; //mue: distance at which the object still has alpha = 1.0 (full opaque) const float fadeStartDistance = 16000.0; //in meters //mue: fadeStartDistance + fadeLength = distance at which the object has alpha = 0.0 (full transparent) const float fadeLength = 3000.0; //in meters const float fd = FadeDist - fadeStartDistance; if (fd > 0.0) { fade_alpha = clamp(0.0, 1.0, 1.0 - (fd / fadeLength)); } return (fade_alpha); } -Set in flightengine.ini DetailMeshSize so that (fadeStartDistance + fadeLength) / terrain_tile_size < DetailMeshSize -Set in options.ini ObjectsFade=false -Enjoy your flight!
