  1. unfortunatly, all lights appear round. No 4652 headlights, sorry! If they 'look' too large, make them dimmer. Brightness= (usuall number is 0.10) for 2-light systems, stay around 0.06 as to the Sentry skin ??? ???
  2. to gain something, you have to lose something ... usualy the winder stations on the Rhinos. Had asymentrical loads on the 1stGen F-4Gs ... You renumber ALL the stations to fit (don't even know if I still have the mod around ... but I'll look) there simply aren't enough group slots for it. There was a trick, iirc, for adding stations that don't appear in the loadout screen (Group=7 and above) If I remember right, you just add the new group IDs, list them in the loadout ini, and hope for the best. They will NOT be changable in the Loadout screen, as they're 'invisible'
  3. one of the reasons to keep pre-June extracted cats on you hard drive ... so one can read the lods with ones hexeditor and (hopefully) find the mesh name. Or just ask TK/DanW what the mesh name is. That's how I got for the EDA Harrier

    Sukhoi Su-9A/9B and Su-11 Upgrade Pak for SF2 series A relatively large upgrade pak, with some relatively minor tweeks for Pakso's Fishpot series of Soviet Interceptors, for use with SF2 Series games, either stand-alone or full merged installs. As seen in the original Upgrade pak, landing lights have been added, and in this pak, canopies have been activated via a manual animation key (Shift/0). Landing gear rolling radi have been adjusted to make the aircraft sit a little more evenly in SF2. Afterburner effects have been swichted over to a stock, game supplied one. No other changes to the FM have been effected; there is the occasional 'burp' in it, but it flys and handles quite nicely, given the time passed from their Original Release ™. This package, broken down into individual folder for ease of installation, is the COMPLETE Package ™ of all 3 aircraft, and includes the changes from the WoE 08 Upgrade Pak. Mostly consisting of ini mods, that 'tweek' the data, and loadout inis, making them more usable in the SF2 series. Ordway's cockpits are also included, as is my 'instructional' text and jpg for use with the gunpods on the Su-11. This pack is designed to work with any, or no Weapons Pak, as Weapons ARE included, for those that don't have/use a weapons pak. PLEASE read the Notes below for some explainations of whyfores and wherefores, with reference to the Su-11. New 'generic' SF2-style hangar screens are also included for all 3 aircaft. Userlists have also been created, thereby limiting their 'deployment' only to the Soviet Air Force. This mod has been tested in SF2, Full 4-merged sims, at the May 2010 patch level. I haven't tested it in SF/Wo*, but don't feel there'd be any major differences, other than how the weapons are handeled. However, the landing gear rolling radui has been adjusted for SF2, and may need readjustment for 1stGens. The canopy fixes used here can be easily applied to the original 08 upgrade pak quickly, easily and with no problems. As always, it's reccomended to read this document through; there's some explainations along with the instructions as to why/how certain things were done. Also, for a full lisitng of Credits and Sources. Good Hunting! Comrade Wrench Kevin Stein
  5. 9P and 9L on the Paki version. It's the Team Viper F-16A-15 (at least, that what I call it). natioalized for pakistan.) Should be somewhre in the 1stGen d/l section. WARNING: uses Netz cockpit and avionics, and renamed/rebuilt fuel tanks. Also modfied data ini. Should be ready late this coming week. Will still need FM work. It ain't perfect, but fly pretty damn well, considering it's age (and other LOD issues, like major shd probs)
  6. Lost my animated water effect

    dx10 shaders, maybe??? pull the data ini from any of the stock terrains and compare. What is looks like, is the 2-type fx callouts may be custom-made. They may not work in FE2, without rebulding to take advantage of the new new shaders (even in XP. iirc, it's a game engine ™ thing) btw, the section I posted is from the Flanders terrain, after my conversion to FE2. This tutorial might be of some help: http://combatace.com/topic/54856-converting-sfwo-terrains-to-sf2-usage/
  7. Try chasing down Badgers in a F-86F -- there's a lesson in futility!
  8. yes. try using it for the game intended. Isn't there a version of NF FOR WoE? I'd reccomend looking a little deeper in the 1stGen downloads other than that, you'll be editing the entire targets ini to get the runway names correct.
  9. isn't that the old Team Viper/wpnsgt model? speaking of upgrading old stuff.... TeamViper's Paki version, with new historic serials wrench kevin stein
  10. Lost my animated water effect

  11. ansi vs unicode, maybe? Some gen2s MAY be in unicode, and therefore invisible to gen1 game engines just a thought
  12. when the problem first started after the 08 patch, I just renamed my to xAircraftObject.ini. Im lazy!
  13. are/were the planning maps different from the stock ones?? The stock planning maps are stored in the terrain cats, and easily extracted (and fiddled with, too!) and yes, all the stock terrain maps are the same across both series wrench kevin stein
  14. Moved to a more appropriate Forum, where it can be seen easier PLEASE do not post questions in the Knowledge Base! Its for answers only. thank you!
  15. and Spillone104 too!

    Happy Birthday! wrench kevin stein
  16. did it come with an 'AircraftObject.ini"???? If so, rename it. I'll bet the control/keystroke assignements come back (it's an old fix from when the 08 patch first came out)
  17. there are also other "interestering and unique" ways to get around that issue. Mostly, since 'neutral' airbase cannot be used by enemy forces (ie: the Antung complexs). When the new KAW mod is rleased, you'll see how I did it. Hint: cloning 0 value objects
  18. file removed by owner SHould be availabe at the Dev A-Teams' site. Follow instructions in the "Board and Files Policies" on this first page http://cplengineeringllc_bb.cplengineeringllc.com/Forum/index.php?sid=d13c8446379546f32d69516a4ece53ec
  19. Birthdays!

    Well, look who's another year older!!!!! EricJ EricGen Have a GREAT day my friends!!! (drinks for both of you!) wrench kevin stein
  20. Happy Birthday Stary & squid!

    Happy Birthday Guys!!!! have a GREAT day!! wrench kevin stein
  21. figures.... we leave on vacation Monday. wonder if the non-changing seasons bug is fixed
  22. To get it right, you'd need the VietnamSEA terrain (ie: VietnamSEA.cat, which stores all the terrrain bits). There are a LOT of internal differences; objects that are SEA specific in the stock Vietnam terrain that you won't find anywhere eles. So, yes, you'll need WoV to get it. wrench kevin stein
  23. Cockpit Fixes for Ki-61s that use the Hurricane Pit: This mod will 'hide' several external nods of the aircraft lod (thankfully Capun included the OUT file so we can find it!) Ok, this should fix the SF2ish 'double cockpit issue'. We'll be editating the cockpit ini (I call mine Tony_cockpit.ini, basically just a renamed version of Kesselbrut's Hurri pit, with at Japanese gunsight) What you need to do, open the cockpit ini, and the data ini. You'll be using the EXACT numbers for the pilot's position FROM the data ini, as that is the correct location. So, this is the section in question, with the ided nodes and postions: [CockpitSeat001] HideExternalNode=WindshieldFrame HideExternalNode=Windshield HideExternalNode=CanopyFrame ModelName=HurricanePit Position=0.0000,-0.60,0.85 Offset=0.0,-0.1,0.0 ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 while you're in there, you might also want to metricize the gauges (excepting the fuel, which I didn't convert to KGs). You'll have to scroll through the cockpit ini to find them all, thre's not that many. So, these are the things to change: Knots -> KMPH Feet -> Meters FPS -> MPS
  24. the tractor beam is with the new (08+/SF2) shadow statement. It dosen't have a SHD of it own.
