  1. http://forum.combatace.com/topic/55752-sf2-series-topics/
  2. It's not going to have every unit, this is going to be a very small upgrade. Something basic to give other to build upon.
  3. We all know. Its on the front page and we have been talking about it since yesterday. Thank you though.
  4. Happy Birthday Florian!!!!!
  5. I got 3 so far in the Meteor. This is not a bug thread. TK is aware of the problems.
  6. There is a separate SF2 series forum now. Please post all related questions etc to that forum. Thank you.
  7. Get SF2 and SF2:I and then you will have all 4, then buy the expansion. Then when you install then, you will have one giant merged install with everything available.
  8. I will do the best I can Stratos.
  9. Need some one to add an airbase there.
  10. Thanks for the info. Yes Kevin I am using the default terrian. Not going to reinvent the wheel. This is just going to be a little addon to add a few more elements.
  11. I'm putting a basic package together that will have, carriers, planes etc that were also in the Suez crisis. Going to add the 3 Brit carriers, one of the French. The aircraft will be the F4U-7 and the Seahawks. Going to get the F-84F player flyable and add those units. I will modify the campaign to reflect this. Anyone want to help that is a seasoned modder?
  12. We have 512x512 tiles that will greatly improve your frame rates. Think that might help? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10918
  13. Do me favor please everyone. Lets not post about it lacking MP as its been beat to death over and over and over again. The SF2 series does not have MP and its well known. Trolling around pisses everyone off and we don't want it hear. If you want to complain that it doesn't have MP, go to TK's site and complain to him. Leave the rest of us to enjoy ourselves with this. Thank you.
  14. Make the folder called "Terrains" in your mod folder and add it.
  15. Check SF2 Screen shot forum
  16. It goes into the Terrains {with and "S"}, for SF2:I installs Terrain Folder, {no "S" on terrain} in the WOI 1st Gen series folder.
  17. No apologies needed. Thank you for your support.
  18. Folks, I've been seeing a trend lately of so-called help being anything but. There are people who come to us with a problem looking for help, but the 'help' has been causing more harm than good. I'm talking about folks answering without thinking or doing the research first. Giving folks answers that may damage their installs, or at least cause them to waste their time in frustration. Or answers that are rambling, incoherent, or have nothing to do with the problem at hand. And it also tends to be the same people doing it over and over. This is especially problematic for those looking for answers where English is not their primary language. So, I'm going to suggest some ground rules...for both the person asking a question and the person answering the question. First, for the person asking: 1) Flight sim communities in general tend to be a more mature crowd. What that means is that we expect to read full sentences, paragraphs, proper punctuation and capitalization. If you cannot be bothered to make the attempt to make yourself understood in a logical manner, we cannot be bothered to sort through the mess that is your post to help you. Yes, that includes folks for whom English is not a primary language. Most of us have been around long enough to know the difference between a person who is trying hard to make themselves understood and those who aren't...no matter what language they are translating from. We can also tell the difference between the occasional gaff (one of us is a notoriously bad speller...ahem) and someone who is not trying at all. 'L33T' speak may work in the ADD addled, 10-year old, spastic bunny hopping world of the FPS on your PS3, but it will not get you far here. 2) Please use Google, the search function here, and the Knowledge Base before you post. In addition, be familiar with your computer. Be familiar with the sim...I can't tell you how many times folks have had to answer the question about key assignments because someone couldn't be bothered to click Customize under the Options, Controls screen. Know what the heck Notepad, directories, files are. A PC is not a XBox 360, nor is it a MAC. They come in all shapes and sizes and operating systems. These series of sims have been around 6 years, with freeware mods almost as long. The sims, computers, and operating systems have constantly evolved, and mods released a long time ago may not work in current iterations of the sim. Being computer phobic will not help you here at all...remote tech support is a PITA, especially when those providing it are doing so on their free time. 3) After all that, if you still have not solved your problem, then post here in the proper location in the Forum (ie The Pub or the Knowledge Base is NOT the place to post your issue). State your computer specifications, what operating system, which sim you have and what patch level it's at. Specify if you are running any mods. Detail specifically what the problem you are seeing is and what factors you have checked, what troubleshooting you have done, what searches you have ran. The more information you post (screenshots can help), the sooner folks can narrow down what the problem is and help you. 4) Finally, if you get your problem solved, provide feedback and thank the folks that helped you. One, it's polite, and two, it may just help the next person who has your problem of being able to help themselves. Second, for the person wanting to help: 1) The rule about using coherent language applies here too. If you do not do the skull sweat to make your answer as readable and as understandable as possible, the translation filters the asker may be using may not be able to make any sense of what you are trying to say. Keep your answer short and to the point...any extras keep out of the answer, or at least wait until the end of the post. 2) Help the poster help themselves. If it's a brand new guy (only a few posts), they may not know their way around. For the fairly simple stuff, help them...point them to the Knowledge Base (if it's a question already answered) or point them toward relevant threads. Insert specific links and help them with the search function (ie "run a search using this particular term"). Ask them for more information if it's needed to help troubleshoot. 3) Know what the heck you are talking about! Do NOT blindly suggest stuff without a logical train of thought. If it's for something complex, test it out yourself first! Recommend backups, insert caveats and explain exactly what the problem was and how it was solved. A 'shotgun' approach is confusing and frustrating for both parties. Keep it laser beam tight...the more variables you eliminate, the quicker you can come to a solution that makes sense. 4) An addition to step 3 - "Better to be thought of a fool, then open your mouth and remove all doubt." If you do not know how to help the person at all...then don't post. You can suggest a logical course of action to troubleshoot (or point them to specific parts of the Knowledge Base), but keep it polite, logical, and to the point. But do NOT suggest solutions if you have no idea of the problem...better to simply pass it by and let someone else help. Hopefully this will result in less 'reinventing of the spinning wheels' for everyone...I may make this a sticky if folks find it useful. FC

  19. Guys, Please don't forget that CA has subscription plans that allow you support the site and offset some of the high operating costs that MK2 is so generous to shoulder. The details are here: http://forum.combata...l__subscription I mainly point this out for new members, but perhaps some of you who have not subscribed yet are able to do so now? Please think about it! Please note that due to new laws, we can no longer send premier members a 3rd world child. Thanks, Dave
  20. Please make sure you have permission to upload any Mirage Factory plane mods before you do it. You need to get a hold of Sony Tuckson. They like to keep track of their aircraft and where they go. Also some of the mods people do are planes they are working on. So please keep them informed. Thank you.
  21. Read the modder's Freeware Licensing agreement at the below link. >> CLICK HERE TO READ << If you have any questions, please contact the original author / modder and work things out.

  23. This is for your mission reports.
