'We like to move it, move it!'

Wrench, It does work. Can't remember how or why it works or where I got it, but it does. Menrva, I ported my SF1 'Out of Africa '77' install to SF2. Most worked out of the box but needed to add at least one decent fighter for the allied/US side so I added F-8E Crusaders and a carrier. Just needed to adjust the water.bmp and a few lines changed/adjusted to terrain .ini files. I don't recall all the details, but I think there was no Madagascar campaign for SF2. Love you Madagascar terrain but is there a campaign for it?

Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but here is one I use. WaterMap.bmp

Eric, I pay $10 a month to rent two copies of Photoshop, plus updates, etc... I rent it from Adobe.

I've been asked to make a template for the Soko Galeb G2. The only Soko Galeb G2 I can find is the 2009 version by the iDiOt Team in the SF1 Section. The plane has many skin problems. The lines and detail are VERY 'fuzzy.' Before I get too deep into this template I would like to make sure: 1. There are no other Soko Galeb G2 models here/out there to use? 2. There are no other Templates for this plane that can be used/modified? I know there is a G4 model here, but the G2 is the one requested. Does anyone have any detailed photos, drawing with lines, details, stenciling, etc. you can share? Any help is appreciated. Wish me luck, Geary

Stratos, I Stratos, I'm not sure. Yours looks a bit different in the nose and you've added different seats, but otherwise, might be it. Is this the iDiOt Team's model?

Z09SS, Aren't you afraid you'll loose your beer in that mess? Nice idea for mounting your throttle and joystick. I've been considering using pvc for a frame system but not quite as big as your pipes.

Wolf257's Tomahawk is good but needs an .lod cockpit. No place to place an instrument panel on it. Looks kind of naked inside the cockpit looking from the outside. I'm reskinning planes for my 1948 Israel - Arab conflict and would like a plane with a visible instrument panel. With all the P-40's around, I can't seem to find a B model except for Wolf257's old Tomahawk. TIA, Geary

Kevin, Thanks for pointing me to Raven's P-40B's. Saw them before but guess they slipped my mind. Got one from your MTO package that will work for 1948 Egyptian Air Force with a little tweaking. Can't find a template for it though. Found templates for Raven's other P-40's but not this one. I wonder if one of the other's will work for the B model? But if you have one handy, I could sure use it. Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to your Indochina install.

Absolutely right. I'm doing the P-40B/Tomahawk next and had it on my mind while posting the Hurricane picture. Got it fixed. Thanks for the catch. Mandatory picture(s). Harvard / T-6 Texan in service with opposing Air Forces in the Sinai, 1948.

Rusty, Once you've created a vanilla install for ODS, it starts up with the generic game. You must 'clean out' planes, etc. you don't want in your ODS install and place the ODS files into the generic game folder you created for your ODS install. Don't know if I'm making sense or not...

russ, Very cute little storm. I live in Florida in the US. We call that a cool breeze.

Yes, as Wrench says, don't install to the default folder. I forgot that bit as I always install my flight sim games on my second hard drive by force of habit. Thanks, Wrench.

My SF1 in Windows 10 settings. 1. Install latest DX9. I'm not sure but I believe the latest DX9 driver is 'directx_Jun2010_redist.exe.' It can be found on the internet. 2. Install ENBseries. I use FalconC45's 'HDR Mod 1.01A' found here, 'https://combatace.com/files/category/747-environmental-mods/?page=2.' The HDR Mod 1.01A is for high end Nvidia graphics cards. There is also a mod for ATI/AMD graphics cards on that download page. 3. Install the game BUT NOT in the default installation folders. Put it in the C: root folder or on another drive. 4. Set SF1/WOX .exe file compatibility mode to: 1 - Check box for 'Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3).' 2 - Check box for 'Run this program as an administrator.' Your compatibility mode might differ. You might need to experiment with different settings to find the right one for your computer. 5. I use '4gb_patch.exe.' I don't know if it makes much difference, but it doesn't stop the game from playing. It can be found about 10 files down here: https://ntcore.com/?page_id=345. 6. Because I also play my SF2 games on the same Windows 10 computer, and because I have an Nvidia graphics card, and because new Nvidia drivers seem to cause SF2 to go 'black' when graphics are set to 'Unlimited' when the mission starts, I still use an old set of drivers that allow me to set my graphics to 'Unlimited.' I use Nvidia drivers; 418.91-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe. You might need to experiment with different graphics card drivers to find the right one for your computer. I don't know if this these graphics drivers make a difference with the SF1 games, but both SF1 and SF2 work for me on Windows 10 with these settings and adjustments. Remember computers differ, so my settings and adjustments might not work for your setup. Good luck. Geary

It's probably not your video card, but the drivers. Have you updated them recently?

If you have a nvidia graphics card updated drivers might be the problem. If that's the case, try reverting to the last working set of drivers.

Does this only happen with SF2?

JohnLewis141997 FE and All SF1 games run on my Window 10 computers. Takes a bit of tweaking to get them running. But I'm also keeping a couple of Windows 7 computers for games that don't run on Windows 10.
