Too many people whined about it taking 3 or 4 missile to take down a plane... this is the 60s/70s era.... And with the use of Countermeasures... Not every shot is gonna be a Hit, and not every shot is gonna be a Direct Hit. the electronics and programming in these missiles aren't 100% reliable or even 70% reliable like they are in 1995+/Gen4+ era. Basically what was our happy lil nest egg has been taken over by people that dont know their history, or refuse to update from the Pentium 3 era.

how'd he fix the harrier cockpit view without changing the harrier LODs, Cockpit or viewlist.ini files?

June Patch is out.

makes sense.

hmm what determines what you have access to in regards to Expansion Packs and DLC. I'll stick to using my "Pre-Made" install. Where I have, SF2, SF2V, SF2E, SF2I, Exp1, Exp2, Campaign Customizer, Patches, SF2NA all merged and working, and Compressed to a Zip. So when something screws up, its a simple, delete folder, re-extract fresh from the Zip.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

i think you had to install the Hotfix for the Control Mapping prior to the April Patch.

Terrain shader adjusted to have better "beaches" on the land edges.?

no but TW will most likely patch and lockout more stuff to run on 64MB Integrated Graphics in the next patch. So worried about losing sales to people over hardware specs, but dont mind losing sales to locking out the modders. Intel GMA4500 technically has ZERO dedicated memory, 3rd Party mainboards can add dedicated memory by forcing system memory to automatically allocate no lower than 64MB, but the Integrated Graphics Processor itself doesnt have any VRAM to use, so all calls are sent to the system ram. The Intel GMA has enough power to Run the Windows7 interface and provide an HDMI output using partial HardwareScaling/Decoding, its not meant to run games.

isnt GMA 4500 way below Thirdwire's listed minimum specs? Video Card: 128 MB DirectX 10

seems my AI and Autopilot cant land on carriers without going up and down.

REMOVE Custome FlightEngine.ini from Mods Folder?

Welcome to Strike Fighters 2: Lockdown. where everything is becoming un-accessible outside of the game a lil bit at a time.

k, I'll PM you Friday for details.

Sweet, Yeah, My check is deposited Friday Afternoon. Then I'll just have to find somewhere to get the pedals from. So it would be essentially this?: http://www.simhq.com/_technology2/images/technology_094a_006.jpg

its nearly perfect timing, as I was prolly gonna order CH Stick, Throttle and Pedals online this weekend from retailer which is nearly 3x as much. is it the F-16 modeled Fighterstick or the Older/Legacy one?

can you wait till Saturday/Friday?, Im looking at replacing my recently deceased Saitek X52, and was looking at CH Gear. Both USB Right?

i said to hollywood "Where'd he go?".. HOllywood said "Where'd Who Go!?"

was sitting on the deck waiting to launch, pressed the wheel brakes key, and my wingman said Error, Unable to Launch, the Cats are Locked...AAHAHAHHAHAHAHA . My GPU gets back monday, no idea when the PS/2 cable i ordered for my Saitek will get here, unless you want me to test with the Xbox controller... lol..

or he locked it away from the hardware Acceleration, forcing it to be done using Software Only Engine.

Keep a Base install Zipped man, if something goes wrong, you delete the install, open the Zip extract to the folder... its tons quicker than running the installs for SF2, SF2v, SF2e, SF2i, SF2exp1, SF2exp2, patch patch patch.
