Hi All I am playing around with the C-130H templates trying to make a JASDF version, what do you think? Has anyone ot any decals for JASDF Hercs? Cheers Snapper 21

True, the whole island or nothing is probably wrong. But I don't see both sides having the use of prepared airfields. For Russians to have them and have operational squadrons flying from them I think Keflavik would have to be seriously out of action, meaning NATO would have to rely on Harriers and Carrier aircraft

Jonathan, I accept your rant about the tilte, to many SF2 NA around, and also the unashamed plug for your own campaign! Yes I have read RSR, and Arctic Victory is quite believable. If TKs game had started with either NATO defending or trying to re-take Iceland, that would have been better. I just don't see how his scenario could ever of happened. As for WOE, while I never live long enough to see what happens to airbases, I like it because you seem to be there from day one.

Hi All Sorry I feel the need to rant. I bought SF2 NA even though I only have windows xp, luckily I can get all the bits in a merged install and there is Gerwins lovely Iceland map to use if I want. But I just can't bring myself to play it. Its the story line, its just so crap, it puts me off playing the game. In TKs world its possible for the Russians to land on half of Iceland while there is a fully functional USAF base at Keflavick with no landing ships (in game), and with enough stores and equipment to run a couple of airfields and a full army. Both sides fly from pristine airfields, never touched by war, somebody was not doing there job! What were the Yanks doing while the Russians landed? Watching the Superbowl? I love the new ships, naval formations, cruise missiles and the rest. But I can only hope there will be somewhere else to use them soon, because I don't want to fly over Iceland I feel better now. Thanks Snapper 21

Hi WhiteBoySamurai As always, cracking looking ships. If you have a plan to make more PLAN, then surely the Sovremenny class and its variants which is winning the poll at the moment would fit the bill. Cheers Snapper 21

Thank you For the planes and the history lesson. Just had to go and find out about Cupid! Cheers Snapper 21

I voted for everything I could, simply because any of it would be good. But I guess the Sovremenny, Kidd or any of the JMSDF ships would be most interesting.

Hi WhiteBoySamurai About that alternative data.in. Yes some of the visual vertical launch is lost, but the ship is just an awesome weapon. I had a simple test mission, two flights of Su-24 attacking one Kongou, my plane flies on auto pilot all the way. With the normal data file which uses the weapon system, I got close enough for my second flight to attack with dumb bombs and get one hit. All planes returning to base. With the data file using the gunner system all four planes shot down before 8 miles to target. For me the gunner system is the way to go, hope you do the type 23 as well. A big thank you for bringing us these brilliant ships. Cheers Snapper 21

That would be brilliant

Not trying to be difficult, but can I say airwarfare Kirov? If not, will it be possible to copy info from this version to make it so? Cheers Snapper 21

Hi WhiteBoySamurai Your Kirov looks awesome, I am looking forward to the challenge. I don' t think just turning up with a couple of misiles on a plane will work against this ship. I reckon a full strike package with jamming support will be needed! Cheers Snapper 21

TK set his E-2C to AircraftCapability=DAY_ONLY?? Is it a mistake, because surely the E-2 is up night or day, or is it a game thing? Cheers Snapper 21

A big thank you to all the team I have just taken off in a F-14 from a moving carrier in the middle of a moving battlegroup, brilliant Thanks again Snapper 21

Hi Kodiak Try here http://combatace.com/files/file/8548-british-isles-terrain-beta-04 Cheers Snapper 21

Hi All I want to change the UK map to use for single missions now and maybe a campaign later. The missions I want to fly are intercepting Russian raids on air bases in Scotland that come from off map bases in Norway. I think I have enough ocean up there to play with. So for starters I have changed all target areas on the map to friendly. And will attempt to add the off map russian air fields later. I will also need to change the allowed missions for UK use and the nations file. But my question is, how do I limit the bases I can take off from on the map. I don't want to take off from Brize Norton to intercept a raid off Scotland. Can I set the airfields I dont want to use as Neutral? Or do I need to delete the whole target or just the number of sqaudrons that fly from there? Thanks for your help Snapper 21

Hi WhiteBoySamurai The Type 23 guns don't seem to be working. The main gun wont engage, and the side guns are not moving. I looked in the data ini and there looks like there are two guns number 1 and 1 number 2 but no number 3. Cheers Snapper 21

Hi WhiteBoySamurai Thanks for these updates. Are you planning to update the type 22 we have here? Cheers Snapper 21

Hi gerwin Works a treat in XP. With the new loading screens and your terrain have a whole new game. Cheers Snapper 21

Plane on the ground and the refuel hose is retracted

Try this search data in for DummyComponent=TRUE on the [LeftStab] and [RightStab] and change them to this //DummyComponent=TRUE It worked for me. Cheers Snapper21

Oh my GOD!!! Get that Tico refitted MaxMissilesInAir=2

Hi Gerwin Tried Iceland terrain with water settings low, had a quick flight and it looks quite playable. Cheers Snapper 21

Force DX9 dosen't work, I get the error message below. But to be honest, I don't think my old PC meets any of the game requirements.

Hi ndicki Yep I did, installed it with all my other SF2 games, and my results so far. SF2NA will not start up, when I bought it I was half hoping/expecting it would start and run like a dog but I don’t get anything. That was the bad news. The good news is that so far in SF2E, on the waterworld map, I get lovely carriers with planes on them, lots new ships and planes to play with. One reason for buying SF2NA is that I want to take off from a carrier on the Vietnam map in a campaign with other ships around. I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one I can run TKs Iceland map but the sea is just white. I will try some antiship missions in SF2 later to check that I am getting missiles from all launchers not just the front one. So far I am quite happy with the results, though a lot more testing is needed. Cheers Snapper21
