Any idea when they started applying camo?

In my experience texture size has helped optimize fps and running out of memory. As beautiful as 2k and 4K textures are 1536x1536 for aircraft and terrain textures seems to be the sweet spot. As is 768x768 for ordinance, pilots and ground objects. If you are playing campaigns in standalone installs like ODS, Vietnam Air and Ground War Expansion etc that have a lot of aircraft and ordinance in the air at one time this really seems to make a difference.

I'd forgotten how much fun this bird was to fly. No missiles, no bombs, usually no one shooting at us: just making holes in the sky, and turning JP-4 into noise & pollution. Using the runway on the FWS school map presents an interesting takeoff challenge at the EOR. Wingman flirting with the trees... Just fun to fly...

I would say about 1967 when F-84F were sent to Vietnam and after the switch-over from the natural aluminum finish was made in 1966 under the Air Force Manual 66-1 standardization process.

Its a old game running in a 32-bit software engine. So, don´t matter how much RAM your machine have, the SF2 never gonna use more than 3Gb or something around this. Its the same with Windows 32 and 64 bit versions: you need the 64-bit version to take full advantage of all the installed RAM.

Short answer: No. It was designed for systems from 2002, it's first release. SF2 just changed a bit of coding for Win 7. Mostly graphical, with few "other changes" (there's an old thread around somewhere here, that explains most of the changes/upgrades.) My experience is no issues with Win 10 or now 11 on the new machine. Everything maxed out (the new machine) well over 100 fps. Of course, it is a desktop. I think we should consider ourselves VERY lucky the damn thing runs at all in 10 & 11; given the complete and utter lack of support from the manufacturer. If it weren't for the modders, it would have faded away.

the main time i experience crashes is after running 3-4 unique missions back to back. but these are hard, system killing (not just CTD) crashes run three then quit is what i usually do. also i forget specifics (other than it being designed for and therefore better on dual core rather than quad core systems), but yes it was optimized for systems from a decade ago

Hi! Well... ehm... it is a game from 2008/2009 and there wasn't very much wiggle room to begin with. TK didn't look too far into the future and abandoned the game somewhere in 2013 (I think). So that is almost 12 years without "official' support, patches and so on. But it is true... you need to tweak it a LOT to get it running on an acceptable level. There might be some tips in the fora and the knowledge sections, and next to that it is trial and error. I have a Win11 system with an RTX card and an ultrawide monitor and it works most of the time. Crashes will sometime occur and I have accepted it. Good luck.... and enjoy! Muesli
