I've tried and tried these methods with SFP1 Oct 08 patch. I hit fly, the plane explodes on the water where the CV should be , and the wingie say's "2 is up". It looks like we're in the correct location, just no CV. I haven't tried CVA-63 because the campaign is set in 1957 and the Kitty Hawk didn't launch until 1961, and that's noted in the data.ini. I did up these other CV Base types to Medium instead of Small. Any help? I'm stumped, again.

This is related to my Burning Sand downgrade attempt, with Mig-15bis, Tu4s, Fj-3M and B-26s being used before upgrades occur in the early '60-'61. I first noticed only seeing the Soviet Mig19 Squadron, and a few Mig-17s, no Mig-15s and no Parani Strike missions to counter. When Strikes started, They were using A1 SkyRaiders! (with clipped wings, graphics error!) Double checked my Years Spread it's set to 1915-2010, and made sure all aircraft are in my objects/Aircraft. Removed both the A1 and Ad4 (earlier varient). I thought for sure this would bring hordes of Tu-4. Nope. A-4bs started rolling in. Still no Mig-15s for CAP or Sweep, only Mig19s. Here's the text of the Parani-Soviet Camp_Data.ini. Let me know your thoughts, Thanks. I'm stumped.

I was hoping Day/Month/Year would work. All of the original Campaign1_Data.ini upgrades simply denote a year. As for the A1s and A4s showing up I think I've figured it out. A TU-4 needs a LARGE Airfield to take off from, I had them assigned all over the place. So, I went through all of the Aircraft and made sure they could take off from the designated field, AND that the fields were note overloaded. Per one of Wrench's notes: Runway 3 (the dirt one) = 1 Runway 2 (small medium, semi-paved) = 1 Runway 1,5,6 (standard mediums) = 3 Runway 4 (the large, 2crossing runways) = 6 In [Terrain]_Targets.ini there is an entry for each airfield, "AirfieldDataFile=desert_airfield1" The number at the end denotes the default size and capability of the field. I did notice there's an entry where you can increase or decrease the number squadrons allowed, just below AirfieldDataFile=desert_airfield1.ini. Everything is working great. We're being Overrun with Groups of TU-4s with 3 or 4 sets of radar guided machineguns and Mig-15s in groups of 12 or more. It's wild. That's a FJ-3M btw, not an F-86.

See attached. Any way to troubleshoot?

I got this working by placing 2ndSOW directly under 1stSOW in all related files, and addressed this in another thread.

For SFP1 I would say yes, or it depends. I wanted to add a Merc Squadron for BS:1988, I tacked it to the end of the Campaign_Data.ini file fix the number accordingly but the squad wouldn't show. I removed the entries below 1stSOW and added new info 2ndSOW and it works perfectly (added to squadron list as well). Oh, and set the UNIT ID number accordingly in campaign.ini Here's the specific text, hope it makes sense. //------------------------------------------------------------------------- [AirUnit001] AircraftType=F-16A_ADF UnitName=1stSOW ForceID=1 Nation=MERC MercenaryUnit=TRUE PlayerOnly=TRUE StartingFunds=10000 DefaultTexture=MercSand1 BaseArea=D9 Airfield RandomChance=100 MissionRate=1.5 MaxAircraft=16 StartAircraft=16 MaxPilots=16 StartPilots=16 Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=70 UpgradeType=ANY MissionChance[sWEEP]=90 MissionChance[CAP]=90 MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=90 MissionChance[ESCORT]=90 MissionChance=90 MissionChance[CAS]=90 MissionChance[sEAD]=90 MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=90 MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=90 MissionChance[RECON]=90 MissionChance[sWEEP]=90 MissionChance[CAP]=90 MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=90 MissionChance[ESCORT]=90 MissionChance=0 MissionChance[CAS]=0 MissionChance[sEAD]=0 MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=90 MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=0 MissionChance[RECON]=90 Supply[001].WeaponType=ALQ-131 Supply[001].Quanity=20 Supply[002].WeaponType=F16WTank Supply[002].Quantity=80 Supply[003].WeaponType=F16WTank Supply[003].Quantity=80 Supply[004].WeaponType=AIM-9J Supply[004].Quantity=120 Supply[005].WeaponType=AIM-7E-2 Supply[005].Quantity=120 [AirUnit002] AircraftType=F-5E UnitName=2ndSOW ForceID=1 Nation=MERC MercenaryUnit=TRUE PlayerOnly=TRUE StartingFunds=10000 DefaultTexture=SaudiTiger BaseArea=D9 Airfield RandomChance=100 MissionRate=1.5 MaxAircraft=16 StartAircraft=16 MaxPilots=16 StartPilots=16 Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=70 UpgradeType=ANY MissionChance[sWEEP]=90 MissionChance[CAP]=90 MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=90 MissionChance[ESCORT]=90 MissionChance=90 MissionChance[CAS]=90 MissionChance[sEAD]=90 MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=90 MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=90 MissionChance[RECON]=90 Supply[001].WeaponType=Mk81 Supply[001].Quantity=180 Supply[002].WeaponType=Mk82SE Supply[002].Quantity=120 Supply[003].WeaponType=Mk83 Supply[003].Quantity=40 Supply[004].WeaponType=Mk84 Supply[004].Quantity=40 Supply[005].WeaponType=LAU-3A Supply[005].Quantity=80 Supply[006].WeaponType=LAU-10A Supply[006].Quantity=40 Supply[007].WeaponType=F-5E_CTFUEL Supply[007].Quantity=80 Supply[008].WeaponType=AIM-9J Supply[008].Quantity=120 --------------------------------------------------- Campaign.ini [MercUnit001] UnitName=1st Special Ops Wing ForceID=1 UnitID=1 StartDate=1988 DescFile=MercDesc.txt StartText=BS1988.txt AircraftType=F-16_ADF [MercUnit002] UnitName=2nd Special Ops Wing ForceID=1 UnitID=2 StartDate=1988 DescFile=MercDesc2.txt StartText=BS1988.txt AircraftType=F-5E --------------------------------------------- Squadron list Ini entries [MercUnit001] Name=1stSOW DisplayName=1st Special Ops Wing [MercUnit002] Name=2ndSOW DisplayName=2nd Special Ops Wing

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Okay, I think I've got this working from the Dhiram Side. 1988. 1st Royal Dhiram Fighter Squadron is working. F-16As, accidentally got Block 10, which I found out didn't hit production until '89, Oh well, I'll fix that later. The Rest of the Dhiram Air force gets A-4e's, F4E's, & F5E's. The Soviet Democratic Republic of Paran, realizing they won't be getting much more support from the U.S.S.R. anytime soon (remember Afghanistan, anyone?) has decided to go Offensive in a last ditch effort. Their driving Mig29As (2 Squadrons) Several Squadrons of Mig21MFs and several more Mig-23MFs. they also have I think Six (6) Squadrons of Tu-22's. Many of the add-on’s are from Mirage Factory (WP2009, F-16A_ADF, some IDF Desert skin, Column 5 contributors), BIG SALUTE to ALL, Fella's...Wow.How do you do it? Much more to go for testing to get the, as Sheriff Buford T. Justice would say, "the SumBea'tch" to Beta. I’ve had success adding squadrons for the nation of Dhiram but I can’t seem to get MercNation add a squadron. I’d like to have one dedicated Merc A2A and a second Multi-Purpose Squadron. Is this not possible following the standard procedures? (i.e. the same process editing the three or four ini files) Is there something prohibiting two (or more) Merc Squads? And! Think WAY BACK, What were your top 3 Tunes in 1988? (FYI - The Top 100 is fairly pathetic, and I graduated in '87) Let me know Padre1058ATYahoo.com. Thanks. Would like to wrap this thing by the end of the Week 12/02/2010 if anyone cares about SFP1 anymore.

I realize this has been and awhile, and I've recently had some of the same questions as ktickner6767, but...I could have sworn he was going to Jump out and scream, "You been, PUNK'D!" any minute there. Otherwise, thanks for the info, it really helped. I didn't realize until just a couple of weeks ago that everything prior to the Oct 2008 Update for SFP1 is now DIFFERANT. So, I enjoyed the thread greatly. I vote for a Stickied Thread.

Deca-Stars(10) Showed up after 20 kills

Using Excel 2000, and Squadron Editor v0.6 on a SFP1 Oct 2008 lvl doesn't seem to work correctly. Campaign data is almost correct, except for Aircraft available and supply. they show 0. And the Pilots screen is fubar. Is there an easy way to fix it?

I used to have "10" kill marks (a marker per 10 kills) but now after wiping everything and reinstalling, I've got single stars all over the place. Is there a fix for this? SFP1 patch 10/2008

Mike, Long time over due Thanks! Does this work with the SFP1 Oct 2008 Patch?

Is this change for real? or a hack to improve the enjoyment of the game?

Yeah, sorry, too drunk, mis-stated, should now read "sidewinder".

AIM-9Bs have a very narrow cone that they follow from almost directly behind the enemy planes. If they are turning or otherwise manuvering don't waste a sidewinder. If they are in a shallow climb or lvl flight then you'll hit about half the time. Lesson Learned? AIM-9Bs SUCK.
