no, you can still merge them (which is done automatcialy whenever a game is installed to the 'core files'). what I meant was, don't use SF2I to BUILD a ww2 mods folder from. the options ini is found at the ROOT of every mods folder, up in the (in my case -your name will be different, of course!!) -- C:\Users\Kevin\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 as an example a tutorial on Changing Year Spreads is here: http://combatace.com/topic/68224-adjusting-beginning-end-year-spread/ the Mk 9s have a service end year of 1953 (RAF), and an Export end year of 1957. The export end year also ties into it's userlist ini. The last year/user stated in the userlist is Egypt, 1955 (along with SAfrica, and the Netherlands in 54). So, again, you're outside the aircraft operational year range. (it should be noted at this time, the userlist for the Mk.9s IS incorrect, but that's for another day) It is safe to assume, that if you choose a Mustang, there's problems??

JM: I never do things accidently

since I do massive amounts of hand tiling, that's no biggie!! (well, other than wearing out the mouse and my carpal tunnel....) well, shoot!!! THAT's no problem!!! LOL!! (well, other than needing stary's jungle tgas/tods....) Actually, gives me ideas!! I thank you kind sir!!

Yes plane and simple

Dean, what year, what plane??, and which terrain? IME (the Israel map) has not only a LimitedNations=TRUE, but a very specific year span for that terrain. OTH, GermanyCE does not; you should be able to fly anything there. CAVEAT: as long as the game's year spread has been "adjusted" via edits of the years in the Options.ini if we're talking a ww2 centric install, SF2:I is not a reccomened base to build one from.

screenshot??? I don't recall seeing any antennas on IcelandNA, and there's no city named "Egilsstadoir" in the IcelandNA_targets.ini, that I can find Is this on Gerwin's terrain???

thank you Nigel!! That's the sort of info I was looking for, when tossing this idea out. I'm more knowledgeable on the US stuff (even with gigs and gigs of books!!) In some way, 109s are like Mig-21s -- a zillion variants, sometimes only separated by the littlest of changes. Getting the max file from Monty for the S-99 (and the He-111E for ( a lot of) reworking to H) would be a good way too. If they can be uploaded to the Modders Depository, that is! A real late war K would be a nice addition!!! What with the rebuilds of the BoB and EAW Euro WW2 terrains now available, and the 'Northern Europe' (Northern UK/Scotland/Orkneys, Netherlands, Denmark, western Germany and Norway) still to come. -- Damn! Daniel, you're fast!!! I haven't even finished off the Spitfire 5s/Seafire 2 yet!! (seafire 2 needs some reworking -- i'll pm you some screenies later, along with the beau 1c serial decals. got some things to do today.) looking at Wolf's F last night in some detail; we can get by with it for some time ... it's actually not as bad as I first imagined (mostly because of my crappy skins) added/adapted 2 of Nigel's, and it looks MUCH better!! Most detrimental is the lack of the centerline pylon/ETC mounts. I can 'fake pilot' one of those like I did for the Fw-190s. Not perfect, but (semi) workable! thank you all for your inputs!! Here's a little gift for all: Modlers Datafile #10: Messerschmitt Bf-109, Part 2 : F-K models

NICE!!! I'll get on those decals today

are you at the Top Gear track??? that's a nice looking engine compartment ... we don't have (to my knowledge) the twin turbos here. Very nice!!!

the 3 views in the modeler's datafile aren't very clear, but the photos do show a small bulge. Haube hoods were retrofitted to many (some G came stock with it iirc), but this could be before retrofitting. Who knows!!? Wolf's old 109 has it (but it's old, and showing it's age). Shoot, even TK's S-99 (109G6) has it. (note to self: need to finish templates for 3w S-99 so as to repaint for ww2) one of the main reasons. one could do a fake pilot Haube hood, but it wouldn't move

going through my ETO aircraft folders, I've found a "Bf-109F-4", based on Monty's S-99. Skins, iirc are Nigel's. going through all my books, including the modeler's datafile pt 2 on the F-K models, it seems VERY close to the F-4. It has fairly small breech bulges on the cowl, but has the wing bulges for the larger tires. 2 cowl MGs and center hub MG FF cannon. my question is ... is it, or would it be, close enough for use AS the 109F-4??? I've flown it on a few mission, and don't see any real handling issues. (obviously, we can CALL anything whatever we want -- simple text edit) For those interested, should I assemble a quickie package, so it can be examined by one and all?? (edit: they had a retractable tailwheel, didn't they??)

like stary said ... he made it on my request for WW2, from one of his generic hangars. Did a hell of a job too!

ok, so endo-exo atmospheric craft (yup, seen all the shows, from the original 1980s -when 1st run-, to the new one)

from my previous post. you NEED to do this, to cross check what you have against what you're missing

Happy New Year all!!

la da di, la da da ...

always wondered about that ... why would you need intakes at all for an exo-atmospheric craft??

ya know, if you went to SF2, you'd have 2 brand new ones -- a B (gun nose) and C (glass nose) we made for KAW. And I redid for WW2 unfortunately, since they were built in max 09, they don't work in 1stGens, as the lods are Unicode. But they're GREAT models!

for Coastal Command squadron code decals (and plane-in-group letters), look in the TFX update/mod pak I did for the DAT Beaus should have: 143 236 254 squadrons if you want/need any other Squadron Codes, let know what squadron. Just takes a few minutes (and will need to look up the badge for the paint chip!!) the only thing needed, would be proper 1C serial number decals. Let me know when you need them; take me about an hour or so to do them up

Gunny's Ordanance Shop what you need to do, is find out WHICH aircraft requires WHAT weapons... to do so, you MUST examine the loadout inis for each and every aircraft that you're having issues with. Only then, will you fix what's wrong. and READ the readme for the campaign; you may have missed a statement saying "you need such and such for this, that or the other" that's all I can tell you

looks a bit too much on the rudder fabric, maybe toned down about 50%???? the overall model is looking pretty good!!

that's just a sample of the kind of maps I work off, all the time. Persian Gulf uses stock desert tiles, along with the usual butt-load of custom "specials" I make. I'll have to search the archives for WHERE I put the texture list!!! I don't remember where it is!!

watch out for The Wall .. you're getting danger close on the southern, eastern and western edges Some things were left off for a reason -- they played NO part in an Iran/Iraq scenario, and the original ODS was more concerned with action near the borders. And on the ODS, I mostly just did targeting, leaving stuff as I was given (and yes, some stuff is wrong. very wrong, as is the iran/Iraq and irag2003 maps) for a more direct Iran/Iraq conflict, check with centurion-1, he's reworking the Iran/Iraq maps as part of a larger project
