AFAIK only one 'HideExternalNodeName=' statement can be added in a _CockPit.ini (which includes the node in question and everything else down in its hierarchy).

You may try adding a line in the plane's _CockPit.ini: [CockpitSeat001] ModelName= HideExternalNodeName=<Put HUD node name here>

After a sudden wave of nostalgia, I found myself dusting off my old WoI install. I also made a few new ‘80s EAF skins (strictly 512x512). MiG-21MF armed with AIM-9P missiles, F-7 (modded MiG-21F-13), Mirage5E2 (modded Mirage 5D), F-4E in Egypt I scheme

That's strange. The proper usage of the 'NetworkType=' parameter is supposed to prevent that.

I tested your tiles (both in game and in PhotoShop). The first screenshot shows your original tiles in the game. The demarcation is clearly visible. The second shot shows the tiles after I edited the edges of the alpha channels. The result is not perfect, but it looks much better. When resizing, PhotoShop sometimes leaves a ‘frame’ around the edges of the image, this is what might have happened to your tiles (just a guess, I am not sure). What I did to your alpha channels was covering the ‘frame’. I hope this makes sense to you.

Hi, Could you upload a sea tile and a differing shoreline tile so that we could take a look at them?

I think the class name for dual ARM launchers is '2AR'.

First, you need to download and install the Cat File Extractor. Run the extractor, select the ObjectData.cat file (it is located in <YourGameFolder>\Objects), browse until you find the HunterFGA9_data.ini file, then extract it. It will appear in the folder the cat file resides in (<YourGameFolder>\Objects).

See my earlier post HERE.

That basic skin with those incorrect markings really hurt my eyes. That Hurricane model deserves better treatment. Hopefully some day I finish this (and many other Hurricane skins).

Thanks. First, I’m not sure that the game likes out-of-sequence entries in campaign data files, so you should put your squadron at the end of the air unit list. However, that is not what your problem is. In your CampaignV1.ini, the UnitID should be 153 (and not 166), because your Mirage unit is the 153rd entry belonging to the blue side (ForceID=1). With 166, the game is looking for the 166th unit on the blue side, which, obviously, does not exist, so it reverts to the first available friendly unit (which is the 12th TFS based at Korat, so probably that is the reason why you found yourself there with USAF markings).

Could you post your campaign ini and _Data.ini files?

You can have a purely air-to-air campaign (just take a look at the stock Linebacker I-II campaigns). The campaign ends if: You get killed. Your squadron runs out of aircraft. The number of missions flown reaches the value defined by the ‘MaxMissions’ entry. The only outcome is a stall in this case (meaning the campaign cannot be lost or won).

FlickR has some cool 497 F-4E photos (guess you also know them, you seem as thorough a researcher as I try to be). https://www.flickr.com/photos/40263244@N04/45555938205 https://www.flickr.com/photos/40263244@N04/32596386088 https://www.flickr.com/photos/40263244@N04/45555961455 As for the '15th TRS' RF-4C serial (taken a bit earlier, still during the Kadena days):

Here you are. Some of them come from https://www.deviantart.com/f16crewchief/gallery/23910165/aircraft So, you need 497 F-4E pix, too. What paint schemes are you interested in?

Do you need more photos?

Today I ran into the same problem. New PC with SSD & HDD, Win10 installed on SSD. First I did not install the game just copied all the SF2 files and folders from my old PC to the SSD. After starting the game, the init. screen appears, then nothing happens. So far this seems exactly what Agostino described. However, reinstalling the game solved the problem (at least in my case). During the install process I got an error message saying that the system was missing Microsoft Net Framework 3.5 (which is needed for running SF2). With a simple click the system downloaded and installed MS Net Framework, then finished installing the game. All is well now, I can even run the game I originally copied over. Agostino, install Microsoft Net Framework and see what happens. Hope this helps.

Mystere IVA of EC 3/2 "Alsace"

Czechoslovak MiG-15 in action.

It won't show up as a fuel tank. If everything is set up correctly it appears in the loadout menu as in my screenshot (the number of bombs may differ). Does it appear on the aircraft when you load the mission?

It is the folder in which you installed the game.
