Cocas, I'm looking forward to these. ( Is that pilot in the single-seater afraid of the instrument panel? He looks like he's a bit far back.) Geary

That sure was dumb. Everyone knows you need 2 sets of vise grips to drive a car.

RGR. RGR. Paulo, You're right. The pylons don't exist. I was hoping there was a set out there somewhere I could attach. I don't use the YAP missions as I can't get them to work properly and I'm migrating to a new gamer that has trouble running SF1. But I love the YAP objects and planes. I'm trying to use much of their stuff in SF2. I know there's a shadow rope on the F model. I think it may be from the refueling probe. I haven't had time to experiment with trying to track it down as I've been moving stuff over to the new computer and trying to get everything up and running. But even if I find the culprit causing the shadow rope, I don't know how to fix it and I don't care to loose the refueling probe. Also don't have an out file. I suppose I could delete the A2A stations and use the plane for Wild Weasel and ground attack missions as Raven does and YAP intended, but I like ordnance options when I fly. The better I can defend myself the better my chances of making it back alive. The further out I can hit a target, the better I like it. I have one you converted for Formosa. I thought it was a D-to-A model. I'll have to look it over again. I'm guessing there is no other F model out there?

Svetlin, I've been trying to figure out how to accomplish your suggestion. So far no luck in my favor. If this could work, where would the pylons come from? Also, if they are default to the game, would this limit them to this plane ONLY?

Looking forward to it.

That was one reason I supposed for the pylons not showing up. But the plane still has four Sidewinder specific stations and call for those pylons ... so confused me a bit. Any help is appreciated. Great plane and the only one of that model I've found, so far. Been looking for a good XP computer, myself. I've given away dozens of them over the past few years. Wish I'd kept one now. Congrats on the new GPU. Nothing like new hardware to make a guy happy.

Man, ask me an easy one. I'll have to look it up. I've combined all the sets into an install and copied the plane out of my SF1 install to my SF2 install. Be back when I find the answer. EDIT: Found it in Set 3.

Yes. Not there. I also looked in the pilots and aircraft folders. The pylons don't show up on the plane in YAP SF1, btw.

When's the Grand Opening?

Raven, Tried that first. Was hoping I wouldn't have to install, just copy over. That method still works with my Win 7 computers.

Yes. Forgot to mention that.

I ran it for a year-and-a-half. Overheated a lot, stuttered, generally acted up frequently. Changed to the new card, using latest Nvidia drivers, and have a smooth running system with all SF2 5+2 games merged and running the exe files off the secondary drive.

sprigs, Check for video card updates. Maybe run a cleaner/registry cleaner like CCleaner. Try a clean install of one game; don't add anything.

I count 17.

like Wrench says, but more specifically, GDDR5 RAM on your video card.

DA, I like the idea of this What IF scenario. But I'm a little concerned about not having a super-sonic fighter. What kind of jets will we be up against?

DA, I don't have a template for FS. I run the photos I upload here through PS Auto Tone and Contrast not all my SF graphics files. But you give me an idea; problem is if it works, there are thousands of graphic files in all my SF installs.

DA, I'll take a look at the T-45, good idea, but I chose these Hawks because of great-looking, existing skins I could re-decal. The reason the colors don't match is because I run them through Auto Tone and Auto Contrast in CS4. Gives them deeper, darker colors. Geary
