I started working on an F-18 blue angels skin before I knew about the C6 megapack which BPAO informed me of. He said that model is a more advanced one. I havn't had a chance lately to finish it, but it is close, and I already have BPAO and USAFMTL's permissions. I will finish it when I have a bit of time away from work. I included some mid development pics in the readme.doc of the USN modex pack that I uploaded.

Ok.. I'll wait for the release..

For know I use the one in the C6 pack..

Thanks

(keep praying for a F18E)

Hi,

Is someone still working on the Super Hornet ?

And did someone already build a F18 Blue Angels Skin..

Both anwers I could not find with the search..

The nation you're flying for probably has a different rank list.

I just figured it out.. you were right. Netherlands has a different rank list.

I just created a new one with Dutch military ranks.

Thanks !

Hi there..

I have a problem regarding ranks.. My ranks changed from lt, major etc.. to pilot, sqr. leader, commander etc..

How or where can I change this back to the original names ?

Sounds as if the flaps are too effective in the pitch axis. Back up your original F-15A_Data.ini, and try this value under flaps (remember to adjust both sides)

 

 

 

Cmdc=0.005<----replace the original Cmdc value with this one.

Cmdc=0.005 in my data file

Thanks for the effort though ! :fan_1:

Flaps work by essentially:

 

1) increasing lift

 

2) forcing the nose down

 

Are you taking off on auto or manually? Are you retracting the flaps and gear as you pass 180 KIAS?

I happens with both auto and manual, but manual is worse. When the plane reaches aprox 300 km/hr it takes off.

But the plane completely stays horizontal. With all the other planes it just looks better/different.

This is the same runway, same conditions.. only a Strike Eagle.

I only set throttle to full.. no joystick movement what so ever.

I have a question regarding taking off. I use the (great) F15A of Mirage factory.

It's a great plane. The only I do not really like is taking of with flaps on take off.

The plane just horizontally takes of, the nose stays horizontal. When it should be facing up a bit.

Is it possible to change this ?

I've done tons of enviro tweaks and mods, but I've never found a solution to the cardboard-cutout-mountain problem. I think that's one of the reasons that I use such muted horizon textures now; it makes the mountain problem less noticeable.

Oke.. it's not just only my game problem or my pc.

What did you change on the horizon textures ?

I have a small problem with mountains from far away. When the first appear in the game the are just a relief in the distance, no textures or something. See above the F14 in the middle.

Can I edit flightengine.ini or another file to make this a bit nicer ?

The game is SF1, and I have the problem with all terains that have hills and mountains (Desert, Vietnam, Germany etc.. ).

Thanks

FooFighters

I use setting Far distance in the game.

And I use the original flightdata.ini

p.s. the rating was a mistake by myself (3).. so please help my rating a bit up if you like the skin !

Thanks..

LOL glad i couls help m8...and i thank you so very much....You are filling a GREAT void in my SF/WoV Life by adding that sweet pit and the 14D and the F/A-18E

just to be clear.. I miss read the topic as wish list instead of WIP list

The pit is not mine..it's from ToS.

I am just trying to keep you guys updated on it.

I also kinda miss read.. I thought the topic was called Wish list..

Stupid me.. But to make it a bit right..

Check this new upcoming F14 pit

1. F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

 

2. F14D Super Tomcat

 

3. F14 hi-res cockpit

 

FooFighters would it be wrong for me to say I LOVE YOU!!!!!! lol cheers

you just fixed my bad morning mood !

1. F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

2. F14D Super Tomcat

3. F14 hi-res cockpit

There's more than 1 F-14D in dev and recently I thought I saw one get released without permission but I think USAFMTL wiped it, only in the last few days.

This F-14D was a redone F14A.. just some tweaking on the engine..

No big deal. Definetly not a "D"

I found that in one of my addon campaigns, one of the a/c entries had a typo (2 letters from name were missing), so the game didn't recognise the a/c type and it allocated an A4 Skyhawk instead.

 

I did have A4's allocated in campaign bu not sure if game added one of them or a A4 model that wasn't allocated.

 

I found this out because if I tried to fly the a/c (that had typo), wrong a/c would load at briefing.

 

So check for typo's inc whether - dash or _underline.

 

PS I checked your ini and a/c spellings are consistent.

I already checked that.. I had a Iraqi plain with soviet markings, due to that error I checked all lines.

Yesterday I started a new campaign to check some things out, then all problems were sold.

I think changing the data file during a campaign may gives problems... I will try a starting a new campaign tomorrow to see if all problems are solved.. then I can finally shoot down those Iraqi Mig 23 & 29's and Mirage F1' s ... I can't wait to start.

I am editing Burning Sands 1983 a little for personal use.. I try to change the fictional part to the Gulf war 1993. Just to get a more real life touch..

My problem is that I edited the campaign2_data file to all aircraft I have in my SF1 map. But in the campaign missions planes show up which are not in the data file.. usally it's the F104 starfighter for both Iraq and USAF. On some occasions a AN-12 cup or C130 shows up.

Why is this.. all these planes are not in my data file !

I attached my campaign file for anybody who want to help.

campaign_1993.txt

Another idea, if you feel like experimenting:

 

Open the 'data.ini' file of the offending terrain. Scroll down to [WaterTextureMaterial]>LightEnabled. If the value = TRUE, set it to FALSE and see what happens.

Thanks.. this did the trick

What you have here is "ghosting" of the shadow LOD...

 

Basicly the 3D model used for the shadow does not "exactly" match the geometry of the 1st level LOD file... certain 3D cards will show a ghost or alpha-looking issue like this.

 

If you look at my F/A-37 Talon, my shadow LOD does this as well... (It will be fixed..I swear!) ;)

 

So to answer your question, it's not so much your 3D card as it is more the shadow 3D LOD file.

 

...If you turn shadows off, you will not have this problem.

 

Zur-TECH.com

Turning shadows helped the problem.. it only doesn't help the game.

It is so much nicer with.. so for now I just deal with it.

Thanks

Is anyone else having this problem ? or am I the only one.

Which would mean that some file in my game is not correct.

I thought I would place a screenshot.. maybe that's more clear

I tried all the changes in flightdata.ini. No Joy.

I only have this in desert (with Burning Sants 1983) not with any other terrain I use

No! Put the newly edited DESERT_BRIEFING file into your Terrain/Desert folder, thats where it should be placed and the new briefing will then show up in the game.

that's the answer..

Thanks mate

Hi..

I am building a Iraqi freedom campaigm for SF1. But I have a problem, I cannot get the dessert_BRIEFING in the game. I edit the file with no problems.. but still the original file is used by the game, not my edited one. I extracted the file from the flight folder/missionText.cat and edited the file in the flight folder (where the file was exported too).

This is my new DESERT_BRIEFING file

Anybody has a clue what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks... FooFighters

I also love to see the "D" version.. now that the cats will be replaced.

Any news ?
