Dave

You nailed it Malibu. Thats the kind of stuff we are looking for.

Thanks Dan we appreciate the info. Things are clearer to me any way on why and what was done. Im looking forward to Exp 3. I do understand the missile thing too. Some people will never be happy and that thread was over the top. Finally I love you the skin DLC's, but that is because I am a skinner myself. Look forward to more of those too.

HR What we need you to do is make an basic A-6 series package of just ini edits to a basic install. That way if someone is too intimiated to to use your full A-6 mod they have a fall back so to speak.

Dan We just wish we had more info and where things are going. We have supported the sim and each other for so long that its natural for us to want some info. We know TK doesnt have to say anything but can you all throw us a bone? Where is the series going? What are some upcoming patch fixes and or add ons? Are there things we arent going to be able to do in the future we are doing now? is he gravating away with the series being moddable? We are pastionate about the series Dan and as you have seen we love to fly over the last ten years. So we are concerned about the future. Some communication is what we would like. That's goddamnevilcommbuilding....to you mister....

Well folks here is the official thread for this project. Sign up here and I will make a list of who is doing what. From there when you have done your mod upload it here. Now I suspect with it mostiy being ini mods/edits. It wont take up much space. So format your mods like we have been for installation purposes. Also what you mod is so we dont run into duplicates that overwrite someones elses work. Finally what SF2 title the mod is used for and or required. i.e. an A-10 mod you wold need SF2:Europe Some ideas fo rmods. A mod to change the pilots and seats in stock aircraft. Weapons data.ini edits for any aircaft you feel like doing. Edits to current weapons pack to realistic values. Campaign edits. What I will do is compile the mod into test cells and release them for all to try. Then we can tweak and edit as needed. Any questions?

Yeah one global pack that is the first thing you install. A must have mod if you will. Crusader on avionics and QA of course. We can pick the team and between us we have a ton of reference material we can share. I think we the amount of talent we have here, it could be an epic must have mod. So should I start a new thread looking for who is in?

Lets get a team and do the realism mod....we have plenty of terrains, etc.... But think about it: The team break down Stary on effects/environmental mods natually..... Crusader, me, Grinch, ravenclaw on weapons..... Spillone, Caesar, JSF_Aggie, Jat, eburger and ST0RM on aircraft ini modifications.... And of course anyone who wants to pick a catagory can jump in. These were just off the top of my head. Then once this is done, we can suggest it as what to install first once you have first installed or patched the game. We can rant and rave about how we think TK is doing and is or going or we can, as we have been, taking care of ourselves.

Another great one is gone.

Tigers swept the Royals....

The Tigers are using the Royals right now for batting practice. Good game so far.

I love the idea....even though I am not eligible I would like to start the question off.

Thanks fellas, that was it. Im making this a sticky....

Phantoms looking for trouble.....

Stary or Brain32 had a terrain tweak where everything showed up i.e. trees ect. Anyone remember what and where that tweak was?

Xnview let's you convert files to jpeg in batches. You select all the bmps in a folder, tell it to convert and replace in the folder you are in and that's it. It does the work in seconds. You can convert a ton of files in minutes. It toolk me an hour and 15 mins to do my mod folder. The advantage is that the sim doesn't have to use so much horse power load a bmp than a jpeg. I haven't lost any quality of the skins either.

The beatings will continue until morale improves...or as we said in missile maint, if you cant get laid any where else come to MMT, you're sure to get f@cked there.

Has anyone gone through and did this? I am using xnview based on a suggestion by eburger and I have been converting hundreds of them in about 45 mins so far. The sim runs so much smoother too. Ant's 2048x2048 or 4096x4096, run like a champ. Got rid of a ton of my studders too. I highly recommend this. The results are wonderful.

There is a difference in modding and playing. You can add mods and still play it. Modding to me means creating mods. I take from your answer, you haven't... Wrong again....I do fly a lot of my flying from from 1965 to 1979. Yes tons of AIM-9Bs/Ds and AIM-7Es/E2s and Falcons.....the latter stuff I use whne making and testing later year mods. i.e. F-16C's. Its amazing. I have control over how the game plays. SE sometimes I think you bitch just to bitch, typical submariner...never happy unless bitching about something. j/k

I'm not getting annoyed...yet.....just you guys are sounding like the IL-2 Luftwhiners... We still have a very playable sim....and I would rather talk about mods and aircraft than keep beating this dead horse.....its is no more, it cease to be........

I remember, I had the lasagna...

Lets have something more positive. I have a super stump the dummy question that we could use for this contest. I just need to clear it with Erik. It is a single question....but its DAMN hard......and its not the meaning of life.

Some of guys have lost your fun of the game. Pure and simple. As I said, other than Avionics60 issue, this patch is stable and working. He might of tweaked the campaign to be easier to win but I havent seen it. My fleet got waxed yesterday on the 4th mission. More cruise missiles than I had missile to counter. You all need to stop your bitchin' and start having fun. Man every patch that comes out all I hear is bitch bitch bitch. Some of you are tired of more patches....Im tired of hearing the whining about the patches and so are others. SE Have you tried RC Bucc's? Have you flown my Viper Team's F-16C's? The F-14 Super pack? Installed some of Stary's effects? Downloaded the butt load of F-4 skins Ant and I made? You're doom and gloom. Its getting old. All of this doom and gloom is getting old. If someone wants to step away from the series then by all means do so. But do we have to dwell on the fact that some people aren't happy with it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again??

Mine already do that. AI uses my modded missiles as well. TK's tweak I suspect affects a straight install with no mods. I have yet to see a change affecting my mods in regards to his new missile code. See above I see your point here but I like the ability to belly in and not get killed ALL the time. Well as a well known F-4 pilot and Mig Killer said (one who you actually argued with about the F-4, SE) if real life was as hard as TK's hard setting then no one would of made it out of Vietnam alive. I use hard fuel, hard ammo, hard radar. The rest is normal. Yep, I would, I like them alot.
