Hey there! I just wanted to take a moment to give a big shout-out to our amazing friend, @Coupi , for achieving the well-deserved title of MODDER! You rock! Also, I wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks to our friends Erik and Wrench for their help. Cheers!

Sea Harrier FRS.1

A-6C is in progress.

The models are not mine, and I have no permission to distribute them. (Model Sauces: Converted from Devianart and free3d sites, free personal use/student). But I learn a lot, understanding how models and data.ini works.. and you gave us a nice "Playground" to implementing them.. Thanks again for the Moon, Mr. Menrva!

You do know, of course, the 1st round is on YOU!!! Congrats Brother!!!

Many thanks !!! P.

Agreed, and places like Hanoi are pretty bad. Try Hanoi in modern times (SA-10s and whatnot populate the area, not good unless you got a good jammer) and you'll still have issues, and the AAA is easy. However, that is the main problem with the mission, so I don't know what to say. Usually if you do "cheat" it'll say Primary Target, so that's a help. I think the median is about 50% of the AAA hit to get a mission success. Then again I mainly fly Strike missions so with modern jets (I've had one shoot up my Hornet one time in Iceland) so I don't have much of an issue with them, it's usually the SAMs I'm worried about.

I looked back over Devin Horner's "The 100" and watch the first three videos again. Ep.3 covers three missions (3-6) and as it turns out, mission four is indeed an Iron Hand. Unfortunately, it's a truncated mission as at this stage he was talking about squeezing 3-4 missions into one ~1hr video, so we don't get to see the "result"; he doesn't get a "Mission complete" from Red Crown, for example. However, I did get to see how how does it, and that will help. The problem he (and I) had seems to be a lack of ordnance to compete the mission. Enough CBUs and rockets to account for 4-5 AAA sites, but when you're dry, you're dry - and you don't want to push your luck.

Congratulations my friend!

Well deserved, @Coupi! I thank you for your continuous support on the ODS 30AE mod.

Devin Horner's videos are good examples of doing missions in SF2 Vietnam and he mainly flies the Thud in most of the videos, but does Iron Hand anyway in some videos. Since I fly modern I can't really help, but here's his YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@devinhorner2358 Using ARMs is simple, you point and shoot and hope it hits. It's easier in the more modern (post Vietnam) aircraft, but there are some tutorial videos to look at. And this is a living thread, not so much "dead", because most player fly air-to-air missions and stuff.

way 1: Load your "Terrain.TFD"- file with the "TFDtool" and go with your mouse over your desired position on the map. On the upper right corner, behind the note "Mouse xy:" you will find the position data. way 2: Open the file "your Terrain"_TARGETS.ini in your Terrain - folder with an editor. There you will find all your targets areas with their position. If you like to avoid your nodes/positions being inside the target area, just increase/descrease slightly the value by 50 or 100. You have to find it out (try & error). :-) That's the way I'm defining the position but may others have a better way. Have fun!

Just uploaded the A-6 Intruder skin templates have fun making new skins and please share them.

Attack tanks first with rockets, then with Napalm.

I just want to drop a little thanks to all the mod makers here at CA. The last 2 weeks have seen a plethora (sp?) of new or imporved mods for the game. Been a long time since we've had so many 'all at once'. This will end the year on a high note for the community, even given what hells are happening around the world. Keep up the good work, everyone. Keep the faith Thanks Again!

Just a little note to my fellow modders; some mods include a custom red tracer, named TRACER2.tga, which overwrites the stock one. In the stock game, TRACER2 is actually meant to be green, as far as I can see. If a red tracer is needed, SF2 already includes a TRACER_RED.tga file. Here's all tracer files extracted from SF2: SF2 Stock Tracers.zip So, gun files should be corrected accordingly.
