Lancer...bleah! FC

Alright, addendum: Racks seem to work okay (fixed rotation angles), however, they are only used if the loadout.ini uses them, they won't load with the user selectable screen option. I've noticed this sort of thing from day one with this sim...racks have always been problematic. I'm not sure what the magic solution is. In the old setup, after loading the weapondata.ini (clean sheet), you would have to click on each weapons rack individually to get it to show up in game. FC

Jug, Please start here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...=40588&st=0 This will explain some of the basics of the SF2 series. You'll find in the long run, things are easier (well, except for decals). It's converting from old to new that takes some skull sweat. FC

It does seem high...but then again, I'm wondering how much we hear about accidents now that we are so much more interconnected. Accident rates (not just total number of accidents, but proportionally) used to be much higher back in the day. Yet, there are some accidents we don't even hear about even today. How many of you know we lost a T-38 at Edwards a few weeks ago with the loss of the pilot (who I found out I had instructed back about a year ago)? Or that we had a serious incident in a T-38 at one of our pilot training bases (destroyed the aircraft) around the same time. We have a lot of stuff happen that you never hear about. So I'm wondering how much is perception and how much is reality? I honestly don't know the answer to this one. Glad to hear everyone got out okay. FC

Deleted????? That shouldn't happen... FC PS Just checked...the LAU-115 rails (AHM version) show up just fine. Though the ODD thing is that the missiles are rotated slightly out of kilter. I'm beginning to wonder if the weps editor has a bug that tweaks weapon racks. Because I remember someone posting about TERs that had the same issue. PPS Went into the LAU-115CA data.ini and found this: Attachment01Position=0.250000,0.830000,0.000000 Attachment01Angle=0.000000,0.000000,-5156.620117 Attachment02Position=-0.250000,0.830000,0.000000 Attachment02Angle=0.000000,0.000000,5156.620117 I sure as hell didn't put THOSE values in there.

Use the Cut, Slice, or Quick Slice to cut the parts, then select the polygons you want cut, then use the Detach command. See above. You shouldn't lose your mapping, but you may have to remap new areas created (ie if you cut a flap from a wing, you will have to map the 'gaps' you fill in. Assign both of them to the same material editor slot. FC

Sounds like JimmyBib and this guy are talking about the same thing...a small crease between the engines on the upper fuselage. It's up to Dels on this one. FC

Hmmm...let me check on that tonite Eric. I know SF2 can do 2IR rails (the stinger dual rail setup works perfectly). I'll check on the dual AHM rails though. FC

KB, Let me know if you need some help. I've been going through and fixing stuff as I find them (hey, how can you leave out my ALCM B and C models...shame on you) . Seriously though, let me know. Also, some of my updates I put in the AT-6B download. FC

'And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw.' 'Take it, my love, my anger, and all my sorrow!' FC

Cool! I have my own BUFF wing! FC

Those wacky Japanese and their giant robot fetishes... FC

Now that the FM is passible and the AI can handle it...you'll see this one soon...VERY soon. FC

Any SF2 3rd party aircraft (not TW stock) as of right now will work in the 1st generation TW series. However, some features may be lost or have to be tweaked (RWRs, afterburner enhancements, etc). FC

Dave, It's just the A model, and all the folders are there, just nothing in them. FC

Doing some testing in SF2V with the SH with GH2 and a few other mods. Getting north, it started getting crowded on a recon mission...and I was the only friendly around. Getting close to a SA-13 Another view...and look at the trail underneath me...another SA-13 that had curved behind me... Which didn't quite hit it's intended target...guess GCI and ADC need to coordinate a bit better... The general overall situation from a higher point of view... On egress...SA-13 number 893765...I'm really wondering if the ALE-50 does in fact do something to throw off the missiles... Besides the about BILLION SAM launch calls, it was interesting when I actually heard the 'whoosh' inside the cockpit as a missile streaked by (didn't see it until AFTER it had passed me). I instinctively ducked...it was awesome! FC

Yea, I just noticed that myself...files will be offline temporarily while we fix the problem. FC

1) Actually, removing the refueler mod may not be needed. I didn't do that and it runs just fine in SF2. But if you need to (ie the aircraft doesn't work), then go into the data.ini of the aircraft and find the entry called [Refueler], then delete it or comment it out. 2) If you already have downloaded the F/A-18A model with the updated HUD (ie a modern looking HUD) then you're set. If not, you'll have to download the F/A-18A. FC

Your loss. FC

No, no, and no. It's a nice idea in theory, but as soon as you go down this road, all sorts of trouble comes up. The initial development of YAP was frought with this sort of trouble at the beginning. Just do some skull sweat on this issue, and you'll start seeing the problems that have appeared. The ONLY way something like this would work is if ALL of the money goes to someone not involved in the development of the overall mod IN ANY WAY (ie a charity). Any other arrangement WILL cause problems other than it being totally free. FC

That's because WOE doesn't require a CD once it's patched...heck, it hasn't required one since the Aug 06 patch. FC

I've been using this tip as well for the AT-6B in SF2/V/E and it works great. The pitch authority isn't as high as I would like, but it's a LOT less twichy now and the AI handles it great. It's a nice band aid until the more solid FMs come along. FC

I've been going through KB's weapons pack and there are a few errors in it, which is why you're seeing some of the stuff you're seeing (or not seeing). I'm slowly fixing stuff as they come up (as well as adding shadow entries...everything has to have a shadow). FC

pureblue is correct, the FakePilot method does work, it just needs some adjusting. Pilots, ejection seats, and any other parts require their own directory, within a 'Pilots' directory located in the Objects folder. In fact, I'll attach an example of what your 'Pilot' addons should look like using my invisible FakePilot as an example. FakePilot.7z All 'Pilots' require their own directory and an .ini file that matches the name of the directory. I've found SF2 and it's companions much easier to deal with when it comes to modding. The hardest part is the way it handles decals...but the weapons and pilot handling is MUCH better for the end user. FC

Who says props can't fly in Oct 08/SF2... Thanks for the temp fix...now we can finally get this one going again. FC
