right in the release announcement...

right on, bubba!!

first, one needs to make the MiGs and Sus flyable.. basic info here: http://combatace.com/topic/20789-how-to-make-ai-planes-flyable/ (it's also HIGHLY suggested to read all the posts in the SF/Wo* Knowledge Base, as most of the basic knowledge is readily applicable to the SF2 series as well. Don't forget to read all the stuff in the SF2 KB, too) and you'll need the various Mig/Su cockpits. Most are still in the SF/Wo* (hereinafter called "1stGens") downloads section. READ the readmes that come with the various cockpit mods -- they'll give full install instructions. welcome to our world!!

do you HAVE to Scal terrain? if you ain't got the terrain that a particular mission is built for, it ain't gonna show up! and yes, the "black" bits indicates missing textures. best advice ... delete SZ carrier, REDOWNLOAD and re install it. Something got f***ed up somewhere; best to start fresh

the DAT has the 312 at their site

opps!! Ok, everyone correct your readme in the credits section!! (sorry Carlo!) I think a LOT of the aircraft never got released. (if fact, i'm sure the majority didn't)

File Name: Seahawk Mk.101, INAS Tweeks Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 25 July 2012 File Category: Sea Hawk Seahawk Mk.101, Indian Naval Air Service = For SF2 series Games, Full 5 Merged and/or SF2NA ONLY -WITH- Expansion Pak2!! = -An addition for the Indo-Pak Mod- *As stated above you MUST have a Full-5 Merged install with SF2:NA, at the latest (6/2012) patch level to take advantage of the 'carrier operations' it brings. Also, if using one of the optional cockpits, you'll need Expansion Pak 2, as one of these optional cockpits references the EE Lightning F.1. If you do not meet these minimum requirement, do =NOT= download this, as you'll be unable to use it.* This package is designed to upgrade/update the INAS Seahawk Mk.101, from Paulopanz's pak, available at the following url: http://combatace.com/files/file/12982-seahawk-fga6100101-ins-vikrant-combo/ (you won't need the carrier, just the aircraft) This mod is designed to be installed OVER that pre-existing one. This is =NOT= a full aircraft pak; it does include an optional cockpit howevr; lots of inis and plenty of minor tweeks. adjusted decals size/positioning added destroyed model to data ini (uses a Hunter) SF2-ish radar statements Adjusted weapons loadouts, mission statements New SF2-style INAS Seahawk101 hangar screen New DDS damage textures. optional F-86D cockpit (included, ini is called "Seahawk101_cockpit.ini") Optional EE Lightning F.1 ini, with adjusted position statements (ExpPak2 Users only!) Due to some rather 'odd' changes/behaviors from one of the recent patchs, it seems that radar equipped aircraft having cockpits -without- the scope no longer show the radar screen 'popup' in the corner on Normal Flight mode. This should eliminate that issue, at least on this aircraft. While the 2 radar-eqipped cockpits are not perfect matches, they work pretty well. Details on selection are in the "To Install" section. Screenies included in this pack show the 2 different radar-equipped pits for ease of selection. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! Also, the "Notes" section for more details, especially on selecting the optional cockpits. Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

the SoCal terrain hasn't been updated for CV stations -- in fact, it's still in the 1stGen downloads, and will need HEAVY editing (unless you want to attach the various inis and the _water.bmp he'll need). perhaps, he should get a terrain that already properly set up for carrier usage? Persian Gulf comes to mind...

in the SF2 /Aircraft downloads section; somwhere in july 2010 (release date). In the release thread, there should be an updated data ini, as the Nov 2011 patch 'shifted' some items. after this week, it won't be needing any updates, huh?

he may not be fully SF2NA compliant in his game install, and/or the terrains he's using are NOT setup with CV zones on their _water.bmp and "NavalMap=TRUE" a LOT more information is required so the 'fault' can be run down. Shooting in the dark here, without NVGs

i d/led it a couple of weeks ago, for this very same idea. the thing is completely unflyable ... it needs serious work. At worst, if not readily fixable, comment out the cockpit line so it reverts to AI only, and just have it parked around the bases (dont forget the parked carrier span has to equal the actualy rotor span INAS versions)

well, we're finally getting the DLC OzMirage after nearly 18 months.... (edit: I released my version almost exactly 2 years ago in july 2010!!, and just shortly after TK said he'd have one. So, go figure...)

File Name: Sea Harrier FRS Mk.51, Indian Navy Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 24 July 2012 File Category: Harrier Sea Harrier Mk.51, Indian Naval Air Service = For SF2 series Games, Full 5 Merged and/or SF2NA ONLY!! = -An addition for the Indo-Pak Mod- *As stated above you MUST have a Full-5 Merged install with SF2:NA, at the latest (6/2012) patch level to take advantage of the 'carrier operations' in brings. Also, you'll need any/all version of the game with access to the "bits and bobs" from the stock F-15A Eagle's avionics, as this is referenced for the LUSH variant. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do =NOT= download this, as you'll be unable to use it.* This package contians 2 complete aircraft; Sea Harrier Mk.51 (with 4 skins) Sea Harrier Mk.51 LUSH (upgraded, with Derby & New avionics) These aircraft have been upgraded to the latest patch standard (as of June 2012) and are designed to work in a Stand-Alone India-Pakistan mods folder. They have NOT been tested in an "all-is-everything-game install". It is highly suggested it be used as created. If used otherwise, you're on your own; as no support is or will be available for those not following instructions. They are fully carrier rated. All weapons are included (almost), including new 'loviz' gray fuel tanks for the LUSH and 'standard' Mk.51 with lo-viz skin. Rocket pods, Magic missiles and dumb bombs use stock 3rd Wire versions. All skins are in jpg format - End Users ™ NOT up to speed with the latest patch levels take note. Decal randomization is TRUE on all skins. Also included is a modified Nations.ini, and a new 'RanksINAS.LST', adding the correct rank structure for the Indian Naval Air Service. This goes into your /Flight folder. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! Also, the "Notes" section for more details, and of course the credits -without the hard work of several people, this mod wouldn't be possible. For historical purposes, all the TMF Original Release Readmes are included. Good Hunting! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

File Name: WW2 Phillipine Islands by Edward File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 15 Aug 2008 File Category: Terrains Edward's Original WW2 Phillipines Terrain I've added an expanded notes and install instructions section to his original readme -- I highly suggest giving it a very close look. Enjoy! Wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

there are online convertes; goolge "RGB to hex"

lst (for 'list')

well, honestly, to bring it into the 'modern world', or even into a 'what if' PRC occupied northern section (Luzon, Mindoro, etc - Samar, Mindanao & points south 'blue'), you'd have to rebuild the targets ini completly from the bottom up, replacing all the WW2-style airfields with the standard ones ... to say nothing of regions that'll need retiling to fit larger airfields (clark, with a runway4), and a major expansion of populated places on all the islands.

yes but you need to know the RGB color values, and then convert to hexidecimal, as that what the game reads

knowing that they say is acually quite important ... if it's "somebodys" personal mount, then those go to Level=2 If it's squadron level marking, they can be Level=1 or =0 It matters

of course as a lot of marcello's skins use painted on numbering, some multi-layering and redrawing of panel and rivet lines will be necessary. To say nothing of creating the proper decals. Sounds like just the project to 'dip your toes in', and get started with I'd say! It ain't that hard!

be interestering to get a translation of them! Are the individual aircraft markings, squadron codes, or what!!?? arent Chinese fonts readly availble for download all across the web??

NEVER edit your cockpit or avionics inis unless you're changed HOW the radars and such work. what radpig is asking is about the text displays, background tga, and HUDData info the things he want to change are found in the HudData.ini, located in the /FlightData.cat. Extract, place in /Flight folder and edit away to remove the backgrond from messages, you'll need to extract the MessageSystem.ini, again from the FlightData.cat, place it in the /Flight folder and edit the relevant line (by edit, we mean 'comment out', via double slash //)

well, that still dosen't answer the questions as WHY relatively usefull files -things that we might want to know, to updated existing threat libraries, are no longer available. like RP just asked about the wavs ... they've always been availalbe in one of the Flight cats, no longer. One wonders if all the 'interestering' stuff --and really don't give a damn about the lods- has been put in Cat002
