Barkhorn1x, I'm not sure what you are asking here, but I think you want to use the YAP CV-34 as the CV-45 USS Valley Forge in your Korean Air War install? if so, I've attached a copy of the CV-34 renumbered as the CV-45 along with required files except for the YAP Essex_Korea.LOD. Place your YAP Essex_Korea.LOD in the attached folder, then place the folder in you KAW GroundObject folder. If this works for you, let me know. If you then want to add the entries to your campaign and need help, ask. Good luck, Geary CV45.zip

Yeah, I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist myself, except of course for Elvis … and bigfoot … and Roswell … the Kennedy assassinations … and alien abductions … and velcro … and women … and yogurt …

A jet-fuel powered flock of migrating geese?

I think there might be a fix for this in the attached forum thread. Look down a bit to Wrench's entry. Good luck,

I've got Smoke Marker Rocket Pods working in SF1: The smoke is colored and lasts a bit as they are supposed to. BUT... I can't get the same SMRP to work in SF2. The rockets load and fire but NO lasting smoke. Just common rocket effect. I've tracked the needed rocket type, effects, .tga, etc... and have them in the correct folders. Still no smoke. Any ideas? Anyone got smoke markers working? TIA, Geary

I have the MFP connected to my Windows 10 computer. The CH Control Manager 4.55 software recognizes the MFP but SF2 doesn't. I haven't tried the MFP on my Windows 7 computer but it's something I might try when I get time. I would like to see your profile and graphic if you wish to share.

I rent it monthly, Ten dollars for use on two computers. All updates when available. I have version 7 that I used for years but now I'd rather use the latest version. More functions. Guess it's a matter of what you get used to.

Sorry. I don't have one to unload, but if you get one and figure out how to get it to work in Strike Fighters, I'd appreciate a tutorial on it. I haven't been able to break the code on this and now that the CH Hangar is no more, no where to turn for help.

Sabre1BR, I like the idea of extending the life of the F-015G. Possibly sold/given to other countries after use in Vietnam. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a template for this plane here. Possibly someone made one of their own or has an original from years back stashed somewhere in their computer. You can of course make your own template if this idea means that much to you. You will need an art program like Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, Gimp, etc... Good luck.

Marineluchtvaartdienst What a mouthful. My tongue doesn't do that.

Does anyone have coordinates to place a small USN fleet around the carriers at Yankee and Dixie Stations on the VietnamSEA terrain? The carriers in campaigns look very lonely out there by themselves.

KJakker, Those files did the trick. I now have smoke. I checked some of my other installs and found the smoke markers didn't work in them either. Now they're smoking. Thanks for your help. Geary

When I get time I will go through each file I can identify and look to see if I have all files needed.

KJakker, Thanks for the extra effects. Still no smoke. acesfakia, I'm also wondering about TextureMaterial= maybe missing. I will take a closer look.

Added the "s." Still no smoke. I assume your smoke markers work? Do you know if yours was specifically for SF2?

Thanks. Got it. Added what you suggested. No smoke. No joy.

KJakker, Where can I find MISSILEOBJECT.INI in SF2?

Over the years I've heard rumors that the reason there were so many MiG-17's is because they reproduce through mitosis. Here's a picture of the process:

I'm interested.

Sundowner, Thanks. YAP may be where I saw the missions. Will take a close look.

It could just be my imagination or hallucinations but I thought I saw some Operation Pierce Arrow missions or campaign here. Can't seem to find them now. It's quite possible I saw references to OPA at another site but few other sims deal with the Vietnam Air War. Still... TIA, Geary
