  1. no, becaus the AC always responed that way, as there was insufficent data
  2. an oddity of the targets ini, when targets areas are set to NEUTRAL, they show up red. Guess there's only red or blue markers in a dll somwhere!
  3. File Name: F-16A Falcon, Generic USAF/NATO Gray Skin/Decal/Ini Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 05 February 2012 File Category: F-16 F-16A Falcon, Generic USAF/NATO Gray Skin/Decal/Ini Pak = For SF2, Full-4 Merged Required =* *Note: at minimum, you =MUST= have SF2:I, as this mod references the cockpit, aircraft and other required items =ONLY= found within a Full-4 or SF2:I. If you don't meet these minimium criteria, don't D/L this, as you wont be able to use it* This package expands on the work of MigBuster and others, and will allow for the creation of a stock 3W F-16A (probably Blks 1-10, although I'm not as 'up' on Falcon block numbers as I should be...). A complete set of inis are included, fully updated as of Nov, 2011. Newly added is a Userlist.ini, although this may need expansion/clarification of StartYear dates. Changes are welcomed and encourged! -Remember, this is the Early Production A model only!! All new Hangar and Loading screens are included. The canopy operates via a manual animation key (Shift/0, as always). Other Ini edits remove the internal jammer, and add one to the external centerline position, and other small Loadout modifications. See "Notes" below for more info. It should be noted at this time, that seperate from the main section of this download, are 'fixed' Decal and Textureset inis for MigBuster's F-16A skins. These skins are NOT included. You can find them in the SF2 Aircraft Skins download section (links are supplied in the "To Install" section below). BE ADVISED: install his -first!!-, then add the inis I've supplied. See below for more info on the "MigBuster Skin Fixes" in the "To Install" section. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! Also, don't forget the "Notes" section for expansive esplainations and other illuminations. Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file
  4. (I'd have removed the tailhook) great idea! After all, the Dart and it's predecessors (XF-92) are Lippisch designs!
  5. Pretty sure the lods will be locked in SF2NA, but even then with the data ini extracted, one could possibly use the 'remove component' trick and make the COD bird out of the Hawkeye.... Stoofs another matter ... a new freeware model is definately needed.
  6. Let's hope so... the issue I'm dealing with, is Eritrea and Ethiopia BOTH use late-model SA-2 (LF??) and SA-3s. Added the nations to the appropriate Userlists, and they still won't come out to play (well, the 2s anyway .. the 3s just sit there looking dumb). Thought about using the 'ExportedToEnemy=TRUE' line, but that would open a 'hole nuther can of worms (can you say 'Soviet Hunters and Meteors?' I knew ya could!) Going to the generic tags, even though 'western' units will show, goes against the grain of 'making it right'. It's really diffucult to create historically accurate AD units, in they proper locations, when they stay home and watch TV!!!
  7. somebody was asking/inquiring/whining the other day about 'generic' USAF/NATO F-16A skins for the Netz (made into a 'generic' Falcon).... 30 minutes of work gives us this: a plane-jane blank skin, using all decals so anyone can add whatever markings/serials/finflashes/doohickies they want. will upload this weekend. Of course, given my past history of such things... TK'll give us a A model with SF2NA!!!
  8. You ain't seen MY request list, I take it!!????
  9. I would think that fixxing the issues with hand-places SAMs & Radars would be far more important ... having that problem right now, and it's driving me bat-s**t crazy, as they don't show on the RWR and don't engage I loved that feature in ATF/USNF/FA ... and it's mission builder!
  10. yah, you know... the site where you downloaded it from??? Dev A Team (aka: DAT)
  11. nice T-Jets, PB!!! edit: just noticed the dual mounted HVARs!! nice!!

    ??????? your guess is a good a mine!!!
  13. the skin/decals for SF2 is nothing ... they always stay the same, just get put in a different place from 1stGen. the problem is the aircraft itself is ... well, to put it kindly ... badly in need of an overhaul from the lod up through the data ini (frakking thing explodes on the runway a mission start, tosay nothing of the bounce up and down, flip over and explode issues so prevelant). I'll peruse the archives and see if I can find. Remember, I don't mod DAT stuff anymore, and don't post my mods. So, I guess, when I find it, I can PM directly to you. REMEMBER: if used in SF2:WW2 PTO, you'll need to create an accurate userlist.ini
  14. no problems with that!!! It's in the right place (since that IS an SF2 mod it for) Typhoid just wondered where the aircraft itself might be found.
  15. Re: Gulf War we tallking the actual Gulf itself, or more eastenly as in the Bandar Abbas/Hormuz region?? Honetly, I feel like the US Govt ... never gonna get out of the frakking Middle East!!
  16. Exceedingly. Trust me!

    Ethiopian AF F-86F-40 Sabre Skin Pak = For SF2, Any and All = A new skin/decal pak for the Sabre, representing those as flown by the Ethiopian Air Force in the 1960s through the mid-1970s. Designed specifically for the F-40 (as this model/lod has the least in-game problems -ie shadow probs), it can be used on any version as they're all mapped the same. However, what little data is availalbe seems to suggest the later 'hard winged' versions. So, stick to that one A modifed Loadout ini, with Ethiopian nation-specific loads, is included, as they never seemed to have been fitted with Sidewinders. This A-A load has been eliminated via the magic of that recently (as of Sept/Oct 2011 patch) implemented trick. Ground attack loadouts using rockets keep the 8 HVAR loads. All others are the same as before. A new "Userlist.ini" is also included, that replaces the one from my JASDF Sabre Pak. It would be advisable to add THIS package over that one, or you'll be editing the main ini to add the Userlist line. Serial numbers are/have been extrapolated from the 3 known photos - one of which was a derlict camo aircraft, and are not 100% historically accurate (excepting 251 and 258). The aircraft is in Natural Metal, as delivered from the USA. Sometime in the 1970s, the EtAF recieved several dozen from Iranian stocks, which were painted in the same camo colors as the IIAF F-5s. That skin may be forthcoming...who knows! As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! Happy Landings! wrench kevin stein
  18. should be in 1stGens, WW2 aircraft, Allied Aircraft http://combatace.com/files/file/10139-pby-5a-catalina/
  19. Actually, the one true map we've been missing for a long time IS the Balkans. What with all the 'issues' there over the last 50 years ... it's one that's needed
  20. The Fake Pilot Method Ruulz!!!!
  21. and updating the inis is a simple matter of extracting those from the lates patch level (data and loadout inis), making the necessary changes in the TOP section (aka the "MissionData" section), adjusting any weapons Nations callouts further down on the hardpoint callouts, adjusting the loadout ini, and off you go. Literally, about 10 minutes of work. There actually is a tutorial in the 1stGen Knowledge Base on the creation of a 'nation specific' aircraft. http://combatace.com/topic/19469-how-to-create-a-country-specific-aircraft/ Mind you, this IS for 1stGen, before the invention of that fabulous little trick called the Userlist.ini. You'll need to build one, or expand on the one -if it comes with it- from the mod linked above (it WILL need expanding, as there's no NATO users listed) How do you think I build the 'What If..." Iranian Falcon???
  22. Again, hence the reason to keep archived extracted CATs from pre-Jan 2011. As some of us have done. It was done to reduce or eliminate the amounts and attempts at LOD piracy. As several aircraft had been reverse engineered by unscrupulous parties and released as they're own. While Cat002 is locked, oddly enough Cat001, with all the ground objects, is not.
  23. i could actaully USE the crop irrigation circles on the Persian Gulf map, too. Lots of them around there too

  24. Happy Birthday

    Wooooooooooo wwweEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE have a GREAT Day Jeff!!!
  25. did you create a USAF/NATO F-16??? you have to build the airplane first, before it'll appear anywhere. The Netz is 'single user only' aircraft. Hence the need for any other F-16As to have a proper userlist ini (covered in the Knowledge Base), and the base user -the the data ini, as USAF
