    SF2 Lockheed C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation Pack 5/2/2020 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods" This package contains a new aircraft, with 4 skin/decal sets, the Lockheed C-121G of the USAF & R7V-1 of the US Navy. These represent the Super Constellation cargo/transport versions as used by both services. This mod is based of the RC/EC-121 by RussoUK The 4 skins included use the SF2 "date switch" to activate when needed. Most markings are decals, with the exception of (more than a few) painted on markings. All serial/Bunums are 100% historically accurate, but I was unable to attach specific ones to their units. With only 50-odd aircraft ever built, this isn't really a problem. They ARE assigned to their actual US military services (Navy or Air Force). Decal randomization is TRUE. All skins are in jpg format. Sounds, pilot figures, etc are included. Each skin has their own individual Hangar Screen. A 'box art' style Loading Screen is also included. It should also be noted, these are NEW skins, by me, modified/adapted from the existing ones in the C-121/WV-2s previously released. Inside you'll find: USAF C-121G: 1501st Air Transport Group, (MATS) c.1954, NMF/White uppers, Travis AFB "MAC" -unknown unit-, c.1966, NMF/W USN R7V-2/C-121J: VR-1 "Starlifters" c.1954, NMF overall, NAS Patuxent River VR-7 "Seahorses" c.1960, NMF/White uppers, NAS Moffat Field When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu, you'll see: C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation (R) This will differentiate it from any other military Constellations that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker. Please note, the "R7V-1" designation was changed to "C-121J" in 1962 under SecDef McNamara's overhaul of the military numbering conventions. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein
  2. That's why I still use PS.6, even though I lost the installer years ago. 4 different HD, and have to copy/paste the whole program. I do have PS7 as well, but don't like how it handles certain things I do seem to recall there was patch for 32bit tgas for PS.7, and I had it once. Don't know where it went...
  3. View File SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack 4/30/2021 -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended) This is an update/remod back of the TH1-L Huey trainer as used by Helicopter Training Squadron 18 (HT-18) "Vigilant Eagles" from 1969 thru 1998(ish). The original SF1 upload, from 2005, has recieved something of an overhaul, mostly to the skin, and now with the addition of 100% historical BuNum (serials) and Modex/pennant numbers. Extensive research has allowed me to run down the full 45 aircraft production run, as used by both HT-8 and HT-18. All serials are 100% historically correct. when possible, they have been matched to their Modex/Pennant numbers. Those with the star (*) on the Number list are positives matches. Those without the star, could not be matched to a specific Modex. This is the full aircraft, with all necessary parts included (sounds, pilots, etc). A new Hangar Screen was created, as well as damage tgas and the addition of a destroyed model. The data ini has had the hit boxes corrected. The FM itself remains untouched from it's original "as issued" state. Be advised of continuing issues with helo FMs in SF2. The Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), shift/0 (zero) opens the sliding cabin doors. When in game, on the aircraft selection drop down you'll see: TH-1L Huey As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! The full Change Log is also in the "Notes" section. The original release readme from 2005 is also included, for historical purposes. Happy Landings!

  5. Another load of happy campers winging their way across the Pacific
  6. any map can easily be converted for CV usage. you just need the lines added to the main ini for NavalMap, and the correct style _water.bmp (in proper formatting) with the CV zone painted on
  7. check within the A-6A's main aircraft folder for the existence of a /cockpit subfolder, along with the A-6A_avoincis.ini, A-6A_Cockpit.ini. within the cockpit folder you should have a parts list, as below if not, well, you'll have to find them
  8. In the early days, when SF1 was first released, he did. It was the community (albeit no one still around) that through their comments and harassments, that made him go underground (so to speak). I was there, saw it all. But, yes, it is disappointing and disconcerting that nothing has been mentioned about the W10 upgrade. I do, however, take into account the total shitstorm the last 14+ months have been. So, even while still on W7, I can afford to be paitient for The 10.
  9. why, of course. why would ask??? in truth, i was thinking of USN 8 in gun cruisers from ww2, that were used in Korea and SEA. however, some RN and soviet post-war to 1960s would be cool, too.
  10. If you take a break from missile carrying boats, there's a wealth of guns-only we could use. Just saying.... (i have a short list, if you're interestered...)
  11. this is the way.. (excepting I use photoshop. can't be any different, really, then making decals for aircraft)
  12. S!

  13. Admiral Kuznetsov Class Carrier

    Wrench commented on rokieborhgunder's file in Aircraft Carriers

    From now on, try using English for you uploads. It's the primary language used. I dislike have to translate and edit other people's mods
  14. that might have been what I was thinking of...????? but I know that's adjusable too, as Comprnt's runway light mod was on all day and night
  15. with or without picnic tables??
  16. I always thought that, along with "daylight hours" in (some) dll or another (terrain engine?), that this line in the cockpit ini controlled external lighting: I know that a lot of the originals (all the way back) were set at like 0.25. I seem to remember that setting it to 0.50 or higher made the lights come on earlier (of couse, I may be disremembering as i'm getting old --<gr>). I do know that In Enemy Territory (tm), wingmates lights go off.
  17. carrier qualifications (remod coming soon)

  19. I think he's talking about shortcut icons. we've got all kinds around here. I know there should be a bunch in the SF1 downloads, 'cause I did 'em. They're easy enough to make. Where I put them, is right into the core install's main folder. Then, it's just a simple matter to change it like Dr. Quest said
  20. thank you! I LOVED that revell kit from the '60. Had both the navy and usaf version with floats. many times!!! :)

  22. there's a MAJOR difference in how a ship is steered, and what the AoA indexer does. It's not even apples and oranges -- it's apples and rocks. No comparison at all. Don't forget, when the helm is put over, say to port, not only does the bow swing to the left, the stern swings RIGHT. This is why the helm is always brought back to center (neutral) as soon as the turn is about 50% complete. Lets not even discuss the Titanic's rudder being too small for a ship that size
  23. checking the game's user list should always be the 1st option (most of the time, they're actually pretty close!) straight from the M3C userlist ini: [France] ServiceStartYear=1961 ServiceEndYear=1988 Availability=RARE I can't believe RARE is correct!!!
  24. well, thanks, I guess???

    SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack 4/19/2021 -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) **NOTE: this is for the British built versions -0NLY-!!** This is major upgrade of the Westland Whirlwind (piston powered) as released by Strahi. Please be advised, if you have the original download, you will unfortunately have to delete it from your mods folder(s). THIS version is highly modified, with many additional items. If left as "drag & drop" over the original, there will be conflicts that might be unresolvable. Thus, the need for complete removal of the original. This has been approved by Strahi, to whom I extend great thanks!! The following services/units are covered. The first listing is the name of the skin folder itself. The rest is the description you will see on the skin selection dropdown on the Loadout Screen: Royal Air Force: RAF1 - No.22 Sqdn, 55-62, overall yellow RAF2 - No.28 Sqdn, ?? date, Eurocamo* RAF3 - No.110 Sqdn, 1954, Kuala Lampur* JHU - Joint Helicopter Unit, HMS Ocean, Suez, 1956 Royal Navy: RN - 848 NAS, DGNB overall, early 50s RN2 - Ship's Flight, HMS Protector, 55-65, Antarctic Patrol RN3 - 848 NAS, HMS Bulwark, 1960s RN4 - 781 NAS, RNAS Yeovilton (Green Parrot) Suez - 848 NAS, HMS Albion, Suez 56 JRV: YU - Soko Whirlwind, Yugoslavian Air Force, 1961 *= be advised, these units MAY have had the later, turbine power marks. It's also possible some of those listed above, while still having serving piston-powered Whirlwinds, would have also recieved turbine power aircraft. The SF2 'date switch' is =NOT= used on any of the skins. I felt it would cause too many issues and confusions. Many painted on insignia and service markings remain as such. This is due to the minimal amount of meshes used to build the aircraft. All new serial number decals have been made for all included versions (up to 26 each). As is to be expected, while all are correct for the aircraft & services depicted, they are 'generic' in nature. When a unit's or service's serials HAVE been found, you'll see the star (*) in the number list dropdown. Decal randomization is TRUE. When possible, the RAF & RN squadron badges are used at the "patch" for viewing on the Loadout Screen On the aircraft selection drop down list, you'll see: Whirlwind HAR/HC (st) The (st) is for Strahi, and will diferentiate this Whirlwind for any others that may or may not exist. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein EDIT: added missing Decals folders!! Sorry people!!
