I fly around with no external indication at all, so to find my way around I have to use NAV equipment; in case of older planes this is navigational marker on radiocompass. Oftentimes, instead of correct bearing it chooses to show me the butt for some reason. This is the case, for example, for F-106 pit and others based on it After looking into the matter the culprit is found. Originally, it looks like this: [CourseArrow] Type=COURSE_ARROW NodeName=HSIcenter MovementType=ROTATION_Z ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [CourseCounter] Type=COURSE_ARROW CounterNodeFormat=course_dig%d MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER ValueUnit=DEG While it should be: [CourseArrow] Type=BEARING_MARKER NodeName=HSIcenter MovementType=ROTATION_Z ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [CourseCounter] Type=BEARING_MARKER CounterNodeFormat=course_dig%d MovementType=ANALOG_COUNTER ValueUnit=DEG After looking into the pits made by Stary, the following is found too: [CourseArrow] Type=BEARING_MARKER //Type=COURSE_ARROW NodeName=course_arrow MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 [BearingMarker] Type=MAGNETIC_COMPASS //Type=BEARING_MARKER NodeName=bearing_marker MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=DEG Set[01].Position=00.0 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=360.0 Set[02].Value=360.0 So apparently, CourseArrow became BEARING_MARKER while BearingMarker is now just MAGNETIC_COMPASS. Not sure when it happened, between SF1 and SF2 (never played SF1 for that matter), or later during updates... In case if you encounter the same problem and want it gone, find the node which is ought to show you the correct course and define it as BEARING_MARKER. Works for analog counters as well

This might help:

Memory issues on my part. I forgot that in order to get a patch to work it should be unzipped to the OBDWW2 Wings Over The Reich directory and run from there. I was was trying to run it from the downloads directory.

James where is the extractor installed? My catextractor installed itself to a folder, it created, called Utilities and located this in the Thirdwire folder in Programs Files (x86) - next to Strike Fighters folder. Local Disc c:/Program Files X86/Thirdwire/Utilities This is same folder the weaponseditor installed itself. Also, my weaponseditor has AA-2 listed with others, AA-7 AA-8 AA-7C. Below FAB500 bombs.

I would check the cat files to ensure that they have names like ObjectData001.cat and are large. They should be tens to hundreds of megabytes each.

I love all your terrains, and fly it constantly. Keep doing the good work, is very appreciated.
