In the downloads section there is some video tutorials. Maybe those would help?

You start from scratch.

I don't know, its going to be alot of work just for a merged install. Maybe TK will do a patch for SF2:E to get it to SF2:I standards. Then I can see the shaders update. Right now we are working on the bug fixes for the June 09 patch. One thing at a time.

Um you guys misread. FC doesn't have F-4 Phantom time. This is a comparison to F4 (Falcon 4.0) not the F-4 jet. He is saying that: That is what he is saying.

They are pylons that WERE going to be wired for ARM's. But they decided not to use them. (They can be added if needed) However for the fun factor FC put them in there since it was tested like that for real. Trust me dude we research the hell out of this stuff and just do not go throwing crap in the for the hell of it.

No, you loaded 4 more AIM-7's that are supposed or be on the FAST packs. You either load 4 AIM-7's that fit on the outside of the intakes, OR you load 4 to the FAST packs, you try to do both and that is what you get. It be design to do either, or.

Well I will say this. I didn't adjust any weps values at all. C5 had a beta pack set up and I went from there. What the team did was add aircraft and fix campaign bugs. Other than that its exactly how C5 left it.

Yes they are nightmares.

I decided that we will just do a Jun 09 fix pack for now. A shader fix, will require a ton of rework, something I just don't feel like doing right now. I am sure the team is spent as well.

Very funny wise ass.

Just messing around.

With the Oct 2009B SF2:Israel patch, the terrain is working. What needs to be done now is, if you are going to use advanced shaders, the HUD and AB's are going to be fixed. That is alot of aircraft and a few HUD's and that will take time. I am also not sure what other affects the advanced shaders has on say the nuke effect for example. That is something else that needs to be investigated. So here lies my dilemma, do we make a patch to fix the Jun 2009 issues that has been brought to our attention or do an advance shaders fix for merged install. Its going to be work either way that I or the team is not relishing to do because there is no easy fix.

Post your fix/update findings here. Not whats broken, only a fix and or update. Everything else will be deleted by Lazer Cats Aircraft with avionics70 need to have the radar ground mapping mode called GM in avionics.ini And also, later in the avionics.ini you need to have [RadarDisplayGM] and not [RadarDisplayGround_Map] In the ***_Avionics.ini, all you need to is change the spelling from "GROUND_MAP" to "GM" in the modes line, scroll down to the affected section, change it to "GM", do a quick repaint of the "F16_radarAB.bmp" to cover the "NOT WORKING", and zingoo!!!! Ground radar for you Viper! This is all in WoE, btw. Discovered by Canadair and Wrench, The These bmp's go into the cockpit folder of the MF Vipers or any viper that uses a MF pit.

Do so at your own peril.

Someone's freq got mixed with ours on the UHF and there are 2 Vipers at a range dropping GBU-38's. I guess they dropped them too as they were calling TTI (time to impact). Pretty damn cool. Breaks up an otherwise slow day.

Yes it was a TU-154.

A Russian airliner landed as I was getting off duty. TU-144? It has 3 engines in rear.

I sit corrected it was an easter egg for the Voodoo. I will make sure a nuke effect is used for the bug fix pack.

Yep that would be it. I missed that. Yeah he wanted a no nuke campaign.

I think you set in the game options as I have never seen or heard of a mod that added this.

I didnt put any nuke effects in because I didn't see any nukes. I thought C5 said he wanted a nukeless campaign, so that is what I went with. If there are nukes in then I do not recall putting them in there.

Been going through my books, researching on many many air raids in the history of warfare and one raid always stands out in my mind. Operation Tidal Wave AKA the raid on Polesti. If something could go wrong it did. But man those guys had balls the size of church bells. Not taking anything away from the great raids of Korea and Vietnam and even our allies like the Dambusters, but holy s**t batman talk about intense. The Polesti Raiders rank number 1 in my list of bombing missions where uncommon valor was a common virtue.

I can't do anything about the black lines. The person who made needs to fix it. Or you can remove the shadow from the ini so it doesnt have one.

Being a recent convert from the Thrustmaster Cougar all CH Products set up I was very excited to hear about the upcoming Multi Function Panel. (MFP from here on out) I got into contact with good folks at CH and soon had an MFP heading my way. About a week later I received a knock at my door and there it was, in all its splendor and glory. It came in a nice little white box. I opened the box and there in its packing was the answer to my prayers in flight sim “avionics” programming. It came with a little box holding 25 little push buttons and a Control Manager install disk. The MFP itself is a black, flat, looking panel. It has a clear hard plastic cover that goes over the panel. This is where you will place those 25 little buttons. Speaking of those 25 buttons, each one is black and they are numbered. They stick to the clear cover by an adhesive. Some people might be alarmed by this, don’t be. What ever this stuff is made from it stays sticky. Just one catch, when you decide you want to move the buttons, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT try to just pull them off. You need to TWIST them off. You do it that way and they will virtually work forever. I only had one problem setting it up and that was button 25. I placed it on the panel and then I decided I wanted it in another place, but when I went to twist it off, the adhesive stayed on the surface of the clear panel. So I put the button back on tried it again. It came off on the second try. That was the only button that did that. Well a friend of mine showed me some background templates you can print out to put under the clear plastic cover. This serves a few purposes. 1. It gives you a reference on where you might want to place the buttons. 2. It enhances the overall look of the MFP. 3. And finally gives the end user the ability to personalize it. I made mine look like the MFD of an F-15E. I chose that because I am combat flight simmer. But if you are a Microsoft Flight Simmer, you can make something to go with that. It’s up to you, but let’s get back to the buttons. The technology behind these things is amazing. As I said, they sit on the clear plastic cover and never touch the actual surface of the MFP. Yet when you press a button the MFP knows it. It gets better; say you have button number 5. You can place it anywhere and it knows that it is button number 5. Like I said, it’s amazing. So I got it the way I wanted to look. Now to the install. Installation was easy. I plugged the MFP into one of my USB ports and dropped the install CD in to the tray. The whole process took less than a minute. No problems there. Ok now what? I need something to program into it. Oh my god, I have too many flight sims installed, where do I start? Which sim do I use? AHHHHHHHHHHH. “THUD” After passing out from sensory overload I awoken to a bright light. I heard someone in a loud booming voice “Dave…..Dave….DAVE…. GET UP! I jumped up startled. “Yes”. “Dave, go to the CH Hanger and get a CMC file to program your MFP.” “But which one oh simming god?” “Why LOMAC or Strike Fighters you twit.” Then he slapped me in the back of the head. And with that the light went away. Was I dreaming? Was that the Overlord of Simming? Did I maybe just have too much to drink? The jury is still out on that one. So I headed to the CH Hanger and got me a couple of CMC files to begin the mapping process. I decided to program my install of Strike Fighters. I am not going to get into the particulars of how to program it because you do that just like any other CH Product. It is extremely easy. I learned in one hour how to program it. “But Dave what did you program into it?” Well, I am glad you asked Timmy. I programmed the ability to turn my radar on and off, increase and decrease the radar range and the search, boresight and ground modes. Then I added the ECM selection. I also added weapon selection options. Separate buttons for A2A and A2G weps. From there I programmed the weapon release spacing for bombs and the ripple fire options for the rockets. Waypoints selection was added to another set of buttons. Next was the map key. To keep track of what you programmed there is a large set of dry rub decals that came with the MFP you can put on the buttons. There is a ton of them so you should be able to find what you need. I didn’t add any as I have a good memory. By the time I got done programming the MFP, the Pro Throttle, and the Fighterstick. I could now fly entirely independent of the key board. I jumped into the sim and it was amazing that I didn’t need to use the keyboard for the first time. Now that is immersion! But don’t think you can only use it simming. You can use it for just about any game you have. Right now I am working on a map for Age of Empires III. I am also going to make one to use with Photoshop for when I am skinning aircraft. The usefulness of the MFP can not be understated. With about 12,800 key combinations the possibilities are endless. I just can not tell you enough how great the MFP is. It was the answer to something I was missing in my 22 years of combat flight simming. It’s easy to use, program and takes up very little space. It is a must for every simmer. Even if you are not a simmer the usefulness of the CH Multi Function Panel crosses over to many other applications. I have done many reviews for Avsim and other sites. I have reviewed sims, games, hardware and aircraft but this review was by far the most fun. I would like to thank CH for giving me this opportunity to review the MFP. It was thoroughly enjoyable. You can get the MFP from http://www.provantage.com/ch~110CHPU.htm or http://www.chproducts.com/shop/usb.html#23
