Topic Moved to a More Correct Forum PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS/COMMENTS/ETC IN THE KNOWLEDGE BASE!!!!! that sort of stuff goes here, in the 'regular' forums thank you! :)

what kind of ship is that? It's way cool!! We can always find a use for another ship!! edit: is that an icebreaker??? taking a closer look at the bow....seems like it has the slope to ride up over sheet ice. Be good for DBS! I just need the spheres right now, as the "cities" where they would be are being worked on. although there aren't any here (in the screenie below), you can get an idear as tohow many oil tanks are being used! (largets refinery complex in the world, plus the offshore 'island' terminal in the background). Still need to fill in some empty bits

I came across it the other day in one of inis, after extraction & studying it for something else. lemme check.... AircraftObject.ini, probably in the ObjectData.cat (in SF2 it's in ObjectData001.cat) has this line: [GunData] AllowUnjamAttempt=FALSE what I don't know, is there a keystroke for it in SF (prolly not). Can't hurt to look! The revolver cannons (M-39, etc -ie, rotating breech block) did NOT have any way to unjam in Real Life ™. Gatling-type would just spit out the dud with the caseings

ck PMs

actaully, if you rename the folder, rename the main ini AND rename the TFD & HFD to match, it would ok

let's put it this way .... we're also glad you moved on. Bye! edit: oh, and one other thing... if the statemnet had actualy been read, you'd see that I didn't say "you can't use it". It just states you can't change or modify it without permission.

that's cool!!!!

I'm glad everything worked out ok! jeez, sounds like a close one!

I take it you haven't seen this change of status, posted 5 days ago in both SF1 and SF2 forums? http://combatace.com/topic/26131-freeware-licensing/page__view__findpost__p__545949 =========================== if it's for your personal use, go right ahead. But do NOT release or redistrubute or post.

it all depends on the airplane ... most both player and AI use, have been remmapped. Sometimes the differences are very small (Phantom); sometimes pretty big.

NICE!!!

iirc, the 'boxes and cones and pointers' are tgas in one of the FlightData cats ... you should be able to create/use a different shape, as long as it has the same name as the original, and drops into the /Flight folder (just my guess, however!)

that is WILD Ant!!! very cool looking (one just wonders how it's gonna get 'on the deck'!!)

up to a point ... the old bugaboo of "4 Cargo ship types" still rears its ugly head occasionally. (meaning: the game will grab any of the first 4 ships classed as CargoShips from the GO folder, ignoring most others)* for vehicular ground objects, one needs to check the GroundObjectRole= in the data ini. Many of the lighter AFV/IFVs are classed as "RECON", and don't come to play CVs will also never show up on their own, unless placed via a scriped mission and they MUST be listed in the _types.ini for the terrain, as would all GOs; ships, vehicles, AFV, tanks, sams & their associated radars, etc. At this point, carriers are still unvulnerable, and therefore useless are 'targets' -unless cloned to a destroyable state. also, don't forget that unmodified, SF2V "ends" in 1982, thereby automatically eliminating anything with StartServiceYear= later than that. *one wonders if there's a GroundObjectList.lst, like the aircraft, that could be editated??*

yup, it uses the 'NukeExplosionEffct', with no destroyed lod as I'm sure the ship would be obliterated/vaporized.

have a great one guys

well, the SB-2 would be usefull in pre-ww2 China - that terrain already exists!

missing the lights.tga in the skin folders maybe?

or if there's an OUT, use the 'remove/move component trick' for either the cockpit or external airframe. Also, in the data ini, CockpitCGOffset=TRUE spinners: Captain Scarlet!! I remember Russo had started on the actual Angel fighters once, a long time ago!

I'm TRYING Ken!!! It's not lilke I (really) want the picture; I want that to go to the 3d/FM guys. I just want, like everyone else, a good solid, decent Jug for WW2 and post-war. belive me, I've done almost everything I know how to get Wolf's MAX files to pass on to willing 3D Guys (for ALL his birds!), so to bring it up more to SF2-spec. Posted requests to Wolf both here and SimHQ last year, with no reponse. we need a rebuild of the razorback, the D-20 and later 25/30 with fin fillet ... as freeware if possible. edit: btw, Ken, have you flown over Kalamazoo Airport on the CenUS map yet?? "Easter Egg Time!!!"

so, simply change the pointer in the aircraft's main ini (ie: F4E.ini) to look for jpgs like so:

have you looked in the downloads section, perhaps??? Even though its still the very old (and tired) Wolf Jug, CenAm is very much covered. as for a stock 3W one; don't be holding your breath. Although I WAS quite pleasently surprised by the SF2I:X1 Mustangs and Spits (albeit withOUT pits for Spits...). TKs always said WW2 wasn't his "thing" for this series. Nobody wants better WW2 birds than me ... as the last 7 seven years will attest

i don't think is 'sees' unicode files. you'll probably have to upgrade to the stock, 3W one (either as a DLC or from one of the expansion paks)

yah, I'd say they look pretty good! i've left plenty of space for on-shore storage spheres, too!

russ: that'd be great! just a sphere with 4 legs, like a TradeFederation starship!! intereting to note, the first one in 1959 was named Methane Princess. And they women don't .... well, ya know! perfect ship Ed, i'm testing its placement now!
