Is Stonehenge aligned properly, so the solstice sun rises over the correct stones??? (I'll show myself out now ....) also, we have the Pink Floyd Pig Balloon, too (have to look and see which terrain I put it on. I mean, if you're adding Easter Eggs) -

View File SF2 CAC CA-28 Sabre "What If" Skin & Ini Tweeks Pack SF2 CAC CA-28 Sabre "What If" Skin & Ini Tweeks Pack 12/14/2024 -For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended) Herein you'll find 2 new skins for Yakarov's CA-28 'Sabre Dingo' What If aircraft. If you don't already have it, you can find the aircrft at the following URL: https://combatace.com/files/file/18369-what-if-raaf-ca-28-sabre-dingo/ Historically, the Real World (tm) CA-27 Sabres were exported to the Indonesia Air Force (TNIAU) and the Royal Malasian Air Force (AURI). Following that logic, this is what this package does. On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see: No.14 Sqdn TNIAU Royal Malaysian Air Force (unlike the CA-27 "Avon" Sabre, the RMAF units here are NOT repainted from NMF to OD camo. Both aircraft remain in Natural Metal Finish. No squadron was assigned for the RMAF aircraft) The SF2 'date switch' is active, even though these skins have a 1978 (Indonesia) and 1968 (RMAF) start dates. These are also defined in the new userlist ini. The skins are in jpg format, all markings are decals. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". Both aircraft's serial number presentation follows historic Real World (tm) style. TNIAU gets 16 aircraft, and RMAF gets only 8. The number sequence is extrapolated from the existing Real World (tm) serials. Several other small changes have been made to various other items, and they're listed in the Change Log. 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. The Change Log List is also in the Notes section.

I know, ain't is crazy!!!??!!! The APS-20 is the huge belly radome, as used on the TBM-3E, Skyraider AEW (and some Q models), EC-121, PB-1W and other I can't think of. Totally agree on the H & J SPADs. If your cockpit used has the scope, I suggest using this (bleow) for the screen. Some people, especially those of that grew up in the 1960s, will get the joke. Obvioulsy, it'll need renaming as I used in in the U-2 with the F-104 pit F104RADAR.bmp

Our last posts got me thinking .... so I did more research, and hunting for info, book/manuals etc. Oddly, the A-1H maintaince manual DOES show attachment points, wiring, and stuff for the radar pod (APS-19C), and the scope in its usual position in the cockpit. Strange, because I know the Nam era ones never carried the pod, and most had the scope removed. (I can post that book if you want) I did stumble over the APS-6 manual. It seem more particular to the F6F-5N Hellcat, but the data on the scope may be helpfull (although I dislike the orange display screen). It's attache, and hopefully of some help APS-6PilotsManual.7z

just to let you know, the AD-6 & 7 don't have radars. (check Dels cockpit -- which I worked with him on) AD-1,2,3,4 (some) use the APS-6 external mount. Most of them (on the late model -4) had the scope removed, and the plated over. The 4N & NL are rather specific, and somewhat short lived uses. Most converted back to standard (and radarless) by the late 50s/early 60s

Wolf257's SF1 P-51A/B/C Template

Um.... how come the screen shot is a Tomahawk??? Just saying .... -
there are a few high rises, but they're 'objects', placed via the target ini. Not very convienent to use (frame rates?), as there's only 5 or 6 different ones *** All the other building are 'built into' each tile, just like the trees and bushes They do effect frame rates. And honestly, they're not really necessary. Unless we're building Manhattan Island... *** check the Persian Gulf terrain by yours truely, modded from the original.

Seriously, WHY is the airplane so nicely done!!!! ???? -
IIRC, "LOD" is just a format of exported 3d created items (Level of Detail). If that is true, it's not different than jpg or bmp or whathaveyou. In my view, I'd like a LOT more clarity as to the ultimate goal of the question proposed... What I"m reading it as ... what is the legality of using items the same or very closely related formats as the 3rd Wire Engine (tm) uses for it's object and terrain rendering, along with the various software controls used (dll??) used to run the SF/SF2/FE/FE2 series in their various iterations. Not a lawyer, but it if voilates and EULA and 'hacks' open (so-called) sealed libraries within the game's OS, that in my understanding is illeagle. But again, a LOT more claiffication as to the End Goal is needed

def like the 'stock' look better. I'd just like to mention the higher contrast of that will give a much better picture when used at night (where a LOT of intercepts were expected to happen -- expecially in the High Arctic) I went checking my books of PDF; have the Aerofax on the F-89, plus the pilot manuals for B/C, D, and H models. But they don't show the radar screen imagery. (sorry!) Still think the Phantom pit I used would be the best bet -- It's got the needed twin engine anuniciator panels for engines and such. Some of later missile controls can be easily 'moved' out of sight
