Where can I find this?

I just went and tired:) Cloud texture mods seem to be working all right. Clouds do look better, at the cost of some fps though.

What about 4L0M's Cloud Mod? Is it compatible with BH&H2? It used to be with PE, although made for UE.

Hi! Could anyone please recommend some modpack/campaign emphasising the Gen4 aircraft? Something from late 80's and onwards, preferably with both sides flyable.

Yes, that's what I meant - a campaign pack. So, which one should I start with: Darius, Desert Storm, Black sea or NATO Fighters?

AI has trouble taking off in this for some reason - does not rotate until gear brakes off. Also AI pilots tend to perform strange circles on the ground, while taxiing.

Thank you very much, everyone!

I've got some questions accumulated over the years, so I will just bundle them together, hoping that someone might answer those: 1) Skins. Say, I have MiG-15 and a lot of skins for it. Some are assigned to Soviet, some to NKorea, some to China in TEXTURESET.INI. When I start a single mission with Soviet air force, sometimes the game assigns Chinese or NK skins to Soviet nation by default. How can I make the game to use Soviet skins only for soviets, Chinese for China, etc.? 2) About this MiG-17K by Cocas: it refuses to drop tanks. I.e. it seems to drop them actually, but visually they stay under the wings. Which parameters in which file are usually responsible for that action? BTW, did anyone ever make some more skins for this model? 3) Damage model: where does it live in game files? E.g. the bullet holes layer - where how is it mapped to the aircraft model? 4) Which application can be used to 3D-edit the .LOD files? 5) How do I teach AI to hit targets with their guns? On some airfcraft their aim is OK, but in the others it's all over the place. 6) What can be done to prevent tanks and other ground targets from being easily destroyed by a single 20mm hit? 7) On every map there is typical set of aircraft, which are spawned in single missions. Which file is responsible for that? 8) Can there be more than one mercenary unit in the campaign? Can they be on the opposite sides? 9) Which Soviet unguided rockets cam be used in the first half of 50's? 10) Dhimar and Parani are nowhere to be found, neither in a sinle mission list, nor in NATIONS.INI. Where are they hiding? 11) I saw a Ta-183 in someone's screenshots once. Where can I get that? That's all I could remember now:) Would reallu appreciate any help!

Thank you for the answers, everyone! So, to make the aircraft use holes.tga, I must first map it to the LOD via 3DS max 2009, correct? About Dhimar and Paran - they were in the game from the very start by default, right? Where are they, if not in the cat-extracted nations.ini?

Oh, finally got the idea!:) Narrowed down to (0.228,0.0);(0.272,0.05), will finish tomorrow. Thank you!

Where can I see this particular texture, generated by SF2? Just to understand where to move the rectangle. Can I also somehow increase the size of this rectangle temporarily, to see where it is on the texture?

Sorry, I'm not following:( What is that texture we are talking about? Currently I can't see any characterts in the labels, just some frangments.

Any method to find this dot spot, other that try and fail?

Could it be related to difference in system fonts or to ingame resolution? Which parameters in TWFONT.FX can I play with to try and make it work as it should be?

But it is set! Courier and 10

For some reason I see labels not as dots, but as small vertical dashes. Can I make them into dots somehow? Also, what are the numbers do I put in for dark-grey color?

Thank you for the help! I was missing "PfalzD3a" in decal path.

Hi! Yesterday I've been trying to install Pfalz D.III from Capun's site into FE2, and just couldn't get the decals to show. I spent a lot of time naming, renaming and tossing around the folders, but to no avail. As I understand, it should be: Decals=>Pfalzd3a=>D=>Jasta7 (e.g.); it didn't work. Decals=>Pfalzd3a=>Jasta7=>D didn't work either. Changing DecalsMaxLOD=3 to MaxLod=3 in Decals.ini also did not help. Really need an advice here.

Hi! I just installed seasonal tiles by Jan Tuma into FE2 and at close range terrain looks excellent. But at a distance the terrain objects (trees, houses, etc.) pop up and disappear quite suddenly so it doesn't look nice from medium altitude. How do I: 1. Increase the drawing distance of those objects? 2. Make them fade gradually instead of suddenly disappearing?

Thank you, 33LIMA! Increasing the mesh detail did help, although at the cost of some performance loss. I tried the shader solution, but it did not change anything for me. I'll try again later in case I did something wrong.

Is there a FAQ for mach tables? I don't understand what all these numbers mean: CD0MachTableData=2.095,1.235,1.091,1.030,1.000,0.980,0.974,1.000,1.020,1.020,12.692,12.753,12.843

I have another trouble with MiG-17 FM - can't get if faster than 0.91 mach at sea level (~500m). Although MaxSpeedSL and MachLimit are higher, CD0/CDL are considerable lower (for wings and h-stab) or same (for fuse & v-stab) than on 15bis, the actual maximum speed is still same:( Engine parameters is also the same as 15bis. Am I missing something?

Thank you very much for your recommendations! I did some minor adjustments and this should suffice for now. Although I didn't really understand how to use the gun convergence table, it doesn't seem to be necessary anyway - cannons fire straight enough. Is there a particular reason for cutting MiG's combat radius that much (almost twice)? Mission/campaign issues? Now about 3D: I didn't find a better model (just a what-if naval version), so will have to bear with the stock one. But I also cannot locate that MiG-17.lod ! None of the .cat seems to contain it, so I can't analyse it with LODviewer:((( Are there at least any high-res skins for 17? Everything I stumble upon is standard 512x512. And one campaign related issue: B-29 intercepts. Gunners are cutting down MiGs way too easily, while MiGs require numerous passes to bring down even single fortress. Moreover when there is a lot of 29's, their guns are quickly turning everything into slideshow. Anything I can do about it?
