TMF F-14 radar...sort of
Update - sorry, forgot to mention you also have to go into the Cockpit INI and change the [RadarScope] NodeName from =radar_screen to =vdi; see pic.
-----
Third Wire's F-14 was nice but didn't have a dedicated RWR display. The Mirage Factory's F-14 was fantastic, but the radar doesn't work anymore. Both are needed, and a fleet defender that's sans-radar is pretty useless.
I edited the INI for TMF's F-14 (see first pic) and spliced in the avionics from TW's F-14_82. So now TMF's awesome cockpit has a working radar, sort of....
Problem: TW's radar image is too large for TMF's radar display screen, so the edges are cut off. I'm guessing you can only see about half to two-thirds of the radar image. See pics for comparison. Besides not seeing the full radar display, important target data along the edges are cut off also.
Does anyone know how to scale down the TW radar image to get it to properly fit in the TMF cockpit display? I haven't had any luck
Thanks

Phillipines Campaign
By bop1701 in User Made Campaigns
Update from "Partial Phillipines44" campaign, posted 7 27 21. It's working now - don't know why but when I deleted the A6M7, it seems to have fixed the issue. Hope you like it.

Re: This is an attempt to make a fictional 1944 campaign around Wrench's very nice Phillipines terrain. https://combatace.com/files/file/14171-phillipines-islands-1944-ww2-pto-terrain-for-sf2/
After reading 'Race of Aces' (great book - get it) I wanted to fly and fight many types of aircraft on that terrain.
This is my first try at a campaign, and it uses a lot of gutting and reverse engineering from:
Regula50's https://combatace.com/files/file/16491-tainan-kokutai-new-guinea-1942-campaignpart-1/ and -2
Pcpilot's https://combatace.com/files/file/13709-solomons-campaign/
Hope you guys don't mind - it's how I learn. Also much thanks to all the various aircraft downloads from this site I've used. This is a great community.
If you don't have the various aircraft, just edit the ini's to ones you do have.

Partial Phillipines44 campaign - help!
By bop1701 in User Made Campaigns
Help! This has been an attempt to make a fictional 1944 campaign around Wrench's very nice Phillipines terrain. https://combatace.com/files/file/14171-phillipines-islands-1944-ww2-pto-terrain-for-sf2/

If you don't have the various aircraft, just edit the ini's
I tossed various planes around on the bases. Again, no attempt at historical accuracy.
Problem: The US aircraft all seem there and working, but only two groups of Japanese are working. A6M7/Lahug Field and J2M1/La Carlotta Field.
I can't get the rest of the Japanese aircraft to appear. No idea what's wrong....
-I've tried moving aircraft around on the various airbases
-lengthened the runways in the terrain folder in case the planes needed longer ones
-increased the max number of squadrons allowed on the airbases in the terrain folder
-various other hail mary attempts I've forgotten about.
There are a lot of values and parameters I still don't understand in the ini's. If anyone wants to try to fix this and repost it I'd appreciate it.

NF-104 'X Plane" Mission
By bop1701 in User Made Missions
After reading about the flight research done around Edwards in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, I wanted to make a similar mission. This is an entirely fictional scenario, as I don't have any actual X-plane ad-ons to use for the sim, and I wanted to fly over Hawaii. The terrain is incredible.
You'll need:
Spillone104's terrific NF-104: https://combatace.com/files/file/11594-lockheed-nf-104a-for-sf2/
Menrva's beautiful Hawaii terrain: https://combatace.com/files/file/17485-hawaii-central-pacific-1959-2028/
Menrva's RealSky makes it great: https://combatace.com/files/file/16901-realsky-environment/
You MUST have the 'Start On Ground' setting selected on the Options page or you go BOOM.
The scenario starts with you dropping out from under a B52. Full throttle and light the rocket off and have fun. After burnout, try and glide to one of the runways for a deadstick landing. For more challenge, simulate the high drag lifting body (M2-F2/3, HL-10, X-24A/B) vehicles by popping your boards at the top of the descent.
I suggest maintaining 350+KIAS until beginning your flare.
If you go over 115,000', the sim gets goofy and you're out of the cockpit. As far as I can tell the aircraft continues on a ballistic trajectory. Sometimes you'll come down in an upright or inverted spin, and it's fun to try to recover and still be able to glide to a runway.

WoX Missions Pack II
By bop1701 in User Made Missions
These are some more missions I've made recently learning more about the WoX series mission code. They're mostly F-4 missions. They require various terrains and aircraft that have been made available on this site. If you don't have the terrain, get it. If you don't have a particular aircraft/ship/skin/etc., get it or change it out in the ,msn file for one you do have. This page is outstanding to help you understand the code: http://combatace.com...single-mission/
If the missions don't work on your pc, sorry but they're free so you can't complain too much. If they work, hope you have fun with them.
Thanks to TK for making a great series of flight sims, and everyone on this board who've made aircraft, terrains, etc., and who've made this game outstanding. Thanks to the modders, tilesetters, and brain trustees that contribute and share here.
