do you have the RIGHT water bmp??? you know, like SF2NA, with color coded 'zones'??? the game engine ™ -in a full 5 merged with SF2NA- has to have the properly color codes zones painted on teh _water bmp. No _targets ini entries are required

RAAF Phantoms http://combatace.com/files/file/11568-f-4e-phantom-ii-raaf/

known issue; all AI aircraft made player flyabe WILL be returned to non-flyable status with the additon of official 3rd Wire patchs or addons (like the DLC aircraft). Covered in a KB post, iirc My suggestion to you, Boresight, is to HOLD OFF on modding until you get comfortable with the file and folder structures. AND... spending time in our ever-ignored Knowledge Base. It has the answers to the inevitiable question and problems that will arise. Read both the 1stGen (SF/Wo*) and SF2 KBs, leaving out some of the more esoteric threads (like terrain building/terrain modding) Get the basics down first, then move to more advanced modding and ALWAYS read the readmes that ALL good modder/mod groups should have included in their upload packages

true, but that dosen't explain the original poster's screenie, that has NO aircraft, just missiles hanging in mid air. THAT is a missing lod!

um...that actually shouldn't have worked ... the 3rd Mirage IIICJ (aka Shahak) should be mapped differently form the Bandidio's IIIEA, thereby making the skins complety unusalbe on the STOCK 3w mirage the screenies you've shown above, show that the physical modle (aka LOD) is missing. like MB said, we NEED to see the internal structure of the IIIEA's main folder, like my example below for the Wildcat and...it's exact location within the SF2I mods folder

moved to the proper Fourm -- the Bug Reports/Suggestions Forum is just for like it says issues with the SITE, not requests for help with specific sim/game issues Those go into their own fourms

are you using the ww2 formations.ini??? both the Medium and Heavies are a little 'short'. Maybe change the BaseLevel= to 6, or 9??? oddly, on Intercept missions, i've seen 9-18 aircraft

no posting of DAT lods, outside of the DAT site, is allowed. the one mine is set up for, is the TBM Avenger-R5.lod dated 9/27/2005

File Name: SF2 WW2 PTO Mitsubishi G3M Nell Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 02 March 2013 File Category: Other SF2 WW2 PTO Mitsubishi G3M Nell Pak by Veltro2K -- Something for the PTO players -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (ONLY!!!) = *** Important Note: due to the use of SF2NA coding for the Naval Strike (aka 'Cruise Missle') usage, you MUST have built you PTO mods folder from the SF2NA exe. The torpedo supplied herein is set as a short range cruise missile, and will ABSOLUTELY NOT work in 1stGens at any patch level, and may not work properly in SF2 game installs withOUT SF2NA in the merged core files. Also, the use of 'open cockpit' and other statements in various inis preclude it use in SF/Wo* 1stGen games. Also, having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is a must, as the destroyed model referenced herein uses the C-47A destroyed model. If you do NOT have SF2I Exp1, you'll have to find another desetroyed lod to reference.*** A re-release of Veltro's G3M "Nell" IJN attack bomber. Inside you'll find... The original skin, overall green/light green-blue unders that I've tentativly identified as the Mihoro Naval Air Corps (later redesignated 701 Kokutai). A NEW "quick and dirty" one by me, representing Chitose NAC (later 703 Kokutai), with 18 new 'plane-in-group/serial decals. It's also the green/blue-grey. The skins are in jpg format, the orignal decals (17) are resued on the Mihoro/701 skin, and 18 new decal were created for the Chitose/701 skin.Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. All IJAAF/IJN weapons (bombs), including the NA-style semi-experimental 'cruise missle' torpedo. Pilot figures, and a 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory sounds set. Both the Hangar and Loading screens are brand new for this reissue. To reduce the chance of conflicts with any other Nells you may (or may not) have, everthing is refered to by the 'v2k' suffix. So, when in game, you'll see G3M2 Model 22 "Nell" (V2K) on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft. For those that still have the original release, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total. **The aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'are as it is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created.** Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

I remember ... that's why I said "experimental" cruise missile torp. I know you guys will 'dial it in'

the water bmp fixit should have taken care of that! I'd originally "color coded" it wrong, forgetting that the Nations ini classes India as an "enemy" nation I'll recheck mine I/P install to be sure!

there is no 'radar ground targeting selection' in these games. You're seeing the return, but you'll never be able to lock it up, as that function has not, and will never be available in these games as to visual, you need to check the inis, either the main ini or data ini or both for the "MaxVisualDistance" lines extract the stock BRDM data in and compare

personally, I didn't add the new tile set. so.... edit: correction: Indo/Pak terrain tweeks pak (terrain and object clean up) Stary's tiles I/P terrain water bmp 'fixit pak'

Moved to correct Forum

they set up pretty much the same as Truck_Route or Ground_Attack, with the exception of the name (this one's for New Guinea) [Route011] RouteType=SHIPPING StartArea=Finschhafen EndArea=Arawe RoutePosition[001]=637000,380000 RoutePosition[002]=661000,395000 any 'vehicle' with a defined GroundObjectRole= of "Cargo_Ship" * (now, we're talking SF here), will show up, fairly randomly, in/on the shipping lanes. they also have to have 'start and end points' of the same side (Blue-to-Blue, Red-to-Red) as to effects, there's a 'waterhit' and 'dirthit' effect; prolly carried over from SF, just like the crashed aircraft old slick. * transport is for trucks or tweeked APCs. using that MAY cause the Elric 'ships that sail over land and sea' phenomena

like the zippers, they'd still carry the USAF buzz numbers, so the "FW" would still be correct. simple deacl change the ghost skin looks GOOD!

View File SF2 WW2 PTO B-26 Marauder Pak SF2 WW2 PTO B-26 Marauder Pak -- Something for the WW2 PTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = **Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as a few of the destroyed models referenced reach over to the stock destroyed C-47A. If you do =NOT= have Exp1, you will NOT have the burning wreck on the ground. You will have to locate some other destroyed model for use. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.** This is a reissue of Veltro2K's B-26 Marauder Medium Bomber. It has been reskinned/redecaled and had some tweeking done. This mod ONLY represents Marauders used in the PTO, specificly, in the SoWesPac region (read: New Guinea). It's "representative" of B-26A's used - see Notes below for more information. This unit represented herein is... 2nd BS, 22nd BG, circa March 1942 through 1943 (before star-and-bar), in OD/Grey (as operated from Australia and New Guinea) The skin are in jpg format, and have been remade from a new Home Grown ™ 'partial template'. All new, 100% historically accurate serial numbers were created for this squadron. There ARE nose arts for ths aircraf, but they are 'speculative' at best as I could find almost NO references what what they looked like (see Notes for more info). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Like the ETO version, new DDS format damage textures are included. It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in a ETO or MTO-centric mods folder; these Pacific Marauders are different!!!! Engine sounds, pilot figures, a Brand NEW Theatre-specific Hangar screen (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Bombs and guns (and the Mk.13 torpedo!) are not; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months'. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft. For those that still have the original releases (and tweeked them for PTO usage), it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total. **This aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'is as they is' and you must accept it with this caveat in mind.

However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment, all the features will NOT be working as designed. Those that choose to attempt this, do so at their own risk, as NO support will be available.* This is a FULL aircraft package to create MTO versions of the Ju-87B and Ju-87R as re-released by Baffmeister & myself. Plus, the Italian version is included with the Ju-87B; you just choose "Reggia Aeronatica" on the nations selection drop down, and you'll have the correct skin! *** REMEMBER -- this set is designed for MTO use ONLY!! Also, it's reccomended you remove/delte/move any other MTO-style Stukas from you MTO-centric mods folder. This package is built to COMPLETLY replace any eariler versions. *** In this pak you'll find bits for... Ju-87B: 2/StG1 (overall 'sand') StG1 (standard Euro splinter *note-may NOT be historically accurate!*) StG2 (sand/dark green splinter) 236 Squadriglia, 96 Gruppo (Reggia Aeronatica) * *replaces the 'nationalized' Ju-87B_RA from 1stGen* Ju-87R: 4/StG2 (darkgreen/dark sand splinter) Also, MTO specific data ini and userlist (when needed). Most skins are new, as are several decal sets. Some decals are still the originals, from 'way back when. All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. As an Extra Added Bonus, for those wanting it, the Famous Snake Marking is included as a sperately named Body.jpg in the STG2 skin. A simple rename of the Body and snake-body will keep the original, and allow usage of the Snake one. Weapons, guns, drop tanks, pilot figures and sounds etc are included! So are Hangar and Loading screens (where applicable). As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Any original Release Readmes from the 1stGen versions I could find are included, for hysterical purposes, as is Baff's readme from the ETO Stuka pak.
