Sokol

thx guys. the idea was to leave nothing in the individual aircraft folder. i have tried different ways - to no avail. it works with stock cockpits, it does not work with add ons. cheers sokol

some more Migs, some with Rato (working ! thks to Spillone !) cheers Sokol

Hi, i had to reinstall the operating system and so i changed to windows 7 and directX 10. SF2 runs o.k., but apparently without any clouds, flames, smoke etc.. any idea what to do ? cheers sokol

Hi thanks for replies. for some unknown reason - it works like a charm. see: cheers Sokol

Hi folks i always thought that the stock Mig-21-front gear is too long: the aircraft sits too high in front, the angle relative to the ground is wrong. so i wanted to change that. i increased the "stroke" -parameters in the data.ini. this works well in the SF1 series, but does not work in SF2. so my question: which of the following parameter - mostly: stroke, spring, damping - is responsible for the angle ? [NoseGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=5.0 AnimationID=1 DragArea=0.124 HideGearNode=TRUE ModelNodeName=NoseGearStrut InsideNodeName=Nosegear_Well ShockAnimationID=7 ShockStroke=0.36 SpringFactor=1.5 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName=NoseGearTire RotationAxis=X-AXIS RollingRadius=0.25 CastoringWheel=TRUE CastoringNodeName=NoseGearHydraulics Steerable=TRUE MaxSteeringSpeed=41.15 Locking=FALSE MaxSteeringAngle=45.0 InputName=YAW_CONTROL ControlRate=1.0 HasBrakes=FALSE RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 MaxLoadFactor=3.0 CompressGearOnRetraction=TRUE any help is very appreciated. thx Sokol

Hi Fubar, ja, angle translates into degrees (at least mostly, some technical experts use percentages, 100% = 90 degrees). thx again, no luck again. tried high positive and negative values (45.0), no visible effect. :-( sokol

Hi thx for your answers. i like the spring-consideration :-) @ Fubar: where do i have to insert the "OnGroundPitchAngle" ? is it meant to be in degree ? tried it in the nose-gear-section without any visible effect. cheers sokol

The T-50 ! wonderful, like to get it soon :-) cheers sokol

Hi, any news on the editor issue ? thx sokol

so I'll wait for your work :-) for the time being i downcolored the roads, looks fine for me. btw which editor do you use to place all those trees so exactly on these large tiles ? TKs terrain editor ? thx sokol

Hi, this is excellent work, just my 2 points / cents: - there are much too many (rectangular) streets and ways through the landscape, and they are too bright / stand out too much - we need some villages: germany has lots of them just my point of view sokol germany :-)

Hi, i am doing some tests with rocket-assisted-take-offs, relying on a formula created by Spillone. I need a decent sized visual model ("bottle"), but i do not do any 3d-work. is there any help out there ? first results are encouraging: RATO shortens the take-off-run by 1/3 (Su-7) or more (MiG-21). cheers sokol

Hi, Spillone, thx for your "bottle" SPRD-99. some test with a Mig-21 pfm (more to come): cheers sokol

you have got mail :-) sokol

hi, thx for your support. i do collect some pictures and when finished will send them to you, o.k. ? cheers sokol

??? Canadair ??? I did not get your idea

Hi Spill, i did some conversion and adaption, is this o.k. to you ? are there any visual models / LODs of some larger RATO-bottles available ? cheers sokol

Hi, i did some conversion and adaption of the JATO-effects, hope you like it: thx again sokol

got it. everthing works fine. thx again.

Thx Paul, the JATOS do work, their flames are visible, the bottles do show up in the loadout screen - yet they do not appear as a visual model. i put the bottiglia in the weapons folder, adjusted the weapons.ini - nothing. what is wrong ? cheers sokol

works fine with my merged SF2 install - except for the JATOS. added them to the (extracted) gundata.ini / .dat in my mods-folder, but they do not show up !?! any idea ? thx

Hi thanks for this beauty. how can i get your paintkit :-) ? cheers sokol

Hi, Tu-114, civil long range passenger version of the Tu-95 "Bear". very impressive aircraft, long time the largest civil transport, 220 paxe (almost twice that of Boeing 707 or Dc-8). some examples converted to Tu-126 AWACS when the civil fleet changed to Il-62. prototype caused huge stirrup in New York / Idlewild 1959, bringing Soviet premier Chrushchev to the UN. nice to see sokol

can't find the difference between those 2 releases :-( obviously i missed something. cheers

have been waiting for this beauty so long ... ... but exoerience CTD with WOE (incl. patch 200810) :-(
