try the AvHistory WW2 sounds, and see if there's a difference. the only sound issues I've ever experienced -and this is with ALL aircraft regardless of era- is the occaisonal engine sounds disappearing. It's been doing that for severla years; and I'm not the only one reporting it. They come right back after you pause and unpause the game. you've never said which particular aircraft have the issue (the who built them kinda thing) out of curiosity, what is the /Sound folder called? in SF2 is should be Sounds (plural)

from the Main Screen.... Options --> Graphics more things there to turn on/off; setting and such

quad core; no question AND a HUGE vid card!

assumption could be made that you're looking more for a Balkans terrain, then Italy and the Med. Such a terrain, unfortunately, dosen't exist. Although, I do know that there were 2 in the works that covered the region; one started by C5 and another (iirc) by Baltika

smal correction: in the data ini, it should read Nazi Germany for the nation. that's how we've got it listed in the WW2 nations.ini

so, no sound work at all?? even on the stock jets? Or those work ok??

maybe someday we can talk you into creating the Claw for us!! Animation should be easy ... the wings stay still and body flaps up and down!!!

the Libya map contains Sicily and the 'toe of the boot" the WW2 Tunisia map contains Sicily and Italy as far north as Rome (which is juuussssst inside The Wall - or was until TK lock the 'expanding borders trick' Don't know if it's accessble now)

nope, the RPM in the ENGINE sections really don't do all that much (although, some engine wavs WILL pitch up under full power) the SOUNDS section of the data ini is the only control for what sound is tied to what event [sound] EngineSoundName=WW2_Engine_US_Allision_V1710 AfterburnerSoundName= DamagedEngineSoundName= FlapsSoundName=Flaps AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes GearsSoundName=Gear having a seperate WW2 mods folder (although this is MORE than highly reccomended!!!) has nothing to do with it. I'd start checking my sound card for newer drivers. Kinda hard to make a diagnosis without system specs

for what mod group's aircraft are they for??? Wolfs? DAT? MontyCZ??? TMF?? That's just as important; as many people can't get the aircraft produced by the DAT. Definately check on the permissions ... we're VERY strict about that here a CA (unless they're BY a SF/SF2 modder, that has signed the Freeware Accord)

or the aformentioned Zipper or even the (overused) A-4E. just need something with the CRT, maybe an RWR and windshield framing that's a fairly close match personally, I think this thread belongs in the "What If..." forum ... the Hun had very much reached it's expandability potential with the D, and had always been designed as a 'clear weather' aircraft, with viturally NO night or 'all weather' capabilities. There was just no more room for growth. Why do you thing the Bullpud was the most sophisticated weapon it could carry? it didn't need much electronics for guidance ... just a radio transmitter and a steering stick. Adding LGBs...well, that's my opinon. Why not just use the Rhino? Got everything already in place

open that main main ini, after you add the lines for the cockpit and avionics (if needed!), save and the "save as..." xA-1H_66.ini that way, when it DOES do it's weird little rewrite dance, you can just open itup and do the save as again, withOUT the x as described here: http://combatace.com/topic/55746-patching-made-easy-part-deux/

I have my own ideas, but I'll leave the research to you

short answer is 'if it ain't the downloads section, it don't exist' as to the post above, file sharing, if it's one of the models from the banned pirate modding group, is a VERY good way to get booted from here. Excpetionally frowned upon Take that as some simple, "firendly" advice.

3) Player flyable from the factory (ie: 3rd Wire) Skyraiders, though stock, are not. Just like the Red Air birds. and even when a cockpit is added to the normally AI-controled birds, random game engine main ini rewrites will again render them non player flyable. Hence, the use and need for a backuped/renamed main ini for my (patent pending) "One Click Restore ini"

View File SF2 WW2 ETO P-47C/D (Early) Pak SF2 WW2 ETO P-47C/D (Early) Pak -- Something for the WW2 ETO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: This package "represents" Early model P-47s (call them Late Model C and Early Model D) Razorbacks, as when they first arrived in the England in the early part of 1943.* This is a FULL aircraft pak, with (pretty much) all the trimmings. This pack contains the following skin/decal set: 56th FG circa Mid-to-late 1943. The decals represent various aircraft from all 3 Squadrons of the 56th, and are combined (as per their original release in 2004). There are only 16 'numbered' decals; I didn't make any more than Major Lee had originally. Decal randomization is TRUE, and the NEW skin is in Jpg format. Weapons (ok, drop tanks), pilot figure, and engine sound are included. A New 'box art' style Hangar, now fully SF2 compliant, is included for your viewing pleasure. Any changes that have been introduced, are listed in the 'ChangeLog', in the "Notes" section. This aircraft has a VERY limited operation life span (April to September 1943). Other mods will be relased for the later Razorbacks and Bubble Tops as they are finished. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Wolfs original readmes, when discoverable, are included for historical purposes. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

because the terrain is NOT built for any of the preexisting 1stGen campaigns???? (or, conversly, the campaigns are NOT built for that terrain) check the terrain name in the campaign ini .. it got changed to Solomons-V3 other than that, no clues

MaxVisibleDistance= in data ini (each and every one) TK has those relatively correct

apparently it does also on land ... i've seen Hawkeyes parkined with their wings folded on land bases, and some regualr planes too (A-7?? F-4J???)

oh, shoott!!! And here I was thinking you're talking birds... ya know, for something like this...

what I did on the P-26 is make the fixed tail skid retractable, with a very fast retraction time, and no sound (actually used the stock 3W "key2.wav" here's teh data ini statments: [TailGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE DeployTime=0.0 AnimationID= DragArea=0.05 HideGearNode=FALSE ModelNodeName= InsideNodeName= ShockNodeName= ShockAnimationID=4 ShockStroke=0.2 SpringFactor=1.0 DampingFactor=2.0 WheelNodeName=TailWheel RotationAxis=Z-AXIS ReverseModelOrientation=FALSE RollingRadius=0.30 CastoringWheel=FALSE CastoringNodeName= Steerable=TRUE MaxSteeringSpeed=50.15 Locking=TRUE MaxSteeringAngle=-45.0 InputName=YAW_CONTROL ControlRate=1.0 HasBrakes=FALSE RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=97.2

as much as i hate (and love) making nose art decals ... sometimes you come across the right artwork at the right time!! 334thFS Jug, 1943
