Those of us that may, or may not have, been abducted by aliens and experimented on in their hidden space lab on the dark side of the moon, have long suspected there have been ancient alien outposts under the polar ice caps for millions of years since the polar regions were tropical zones. While flying over the Bearing Straits I came across this anomaly. I expect to see this kind of weirdness where Atlantis sunk in the Bermuda Triangle, but in the Artic Ocean it's a surprise. A bit scary to fly over as I didn't want to get sucked up in a space time continuum or one of my ex-wife's satanic voids. Any idea how to fix this? It's SF2's Danger Bearing Straits terrain. ( I wonder how they do that.)

"Only the Brave." is another good movie about them to watch.

Known about them for years. I think there were a couple movies made about them.

WeaponEditor_022008.zip works for me if I run it out of it's zipped folder. Double left click on the zipped folder. Double left click on the WeaponEditor.exe file while it's still in the zipped folder window. Have you gotten SF1 to work properly in Windows 10? I could get it to work until I tried to exit a mission. Then it would crash. I built and loaded a Windows 7 computer specifically for SF1.

Love the terrain and campaigns, but ... any fix for this?

View File AT-6G Mosquito Fictional SEA Skin Fictional AT-6G Mosquito skin for SF1 & SF2. This is a What If SEA skin for Wrench's AT-6G Mosquito mod found here: http://combatace.com/files/file/9082-at-6g-texan-mosquito-fac/ It is Wrench's mod to Bunyap's T-6 Texan. You will need this file for the plane, weapons and decal numbers. Bunyap's T-6 Texan is a bit old and has a few malfunctions such as a shadow line and no texture mapping for the tires, etc. But it looks good in the air. If you would like my .psd layer mods to Wrench's template, PM me. Thanks to Bunyap for the plane and Wrench for the Mosquito mod and templates. Any questions, please ask.

BoloG, You're right. I wasn't thinking BIG or outside the box. I also know very little about the late fifties/early sixties in the Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand area other than the French leaving Vietnam in the mid fifties. This is very interesting stuff. Would make a great campaign(s)/install if we had enough history and interest from campaign makers and enough photos/history to skin the planes. Thanks for the links and for clarifying this mystery.

Wasn't aware of one by Russo but would love to see it.

Wrench, I know how to use Mue's Lod Viewer. It's constantly on when I'm skinning. The problem with removing the butt cap is that it's part of the vertical stabilizer. It can't be removed alone. Remove the butt cap and you remove most of the vertical stabilizer.

Wrench, You're probably right, but we all know Wikipedia is NEVER wrong. DA, I might give some over to the NVAF but IF these flew over there, what did they look like; what was their ordnance?

Sundowner performed some sort of .lod magic and produced this on an F-4M: I adjusted Ravenclaw007's F-4E SEA skin to fit this and painted on a few rivets and panel lines: Also adjusted Sundowner's F-4E SEA skin for this. I love Sundowner's mod but as it's for the F-4M it has this tailfin butt cap that can't be removed or edited out: It would be great if someone with modding abilities would create a paintable inside cover like Sundowner's for the F-4E. I'm just saying...

Does anyone have any references, photos, hearsay, etc. about T-6G Mosquitos being flown during the Vietnam War? I've found ONE fleeting reference to this on Wikipedia: "During the Korean War and, to a lesser extent, the Vietnam War, T-6s were pressed into service as forward air control aircraft. These aircraft were designated T-6 "Mosquitos". I made a What If SEA skin from this reference sometime back, but doubt they were painted this way IF they flew in Vietnam. Any clarification and especially photos will be appreciated. Geary

That link works. Thanks.

Coupi, Thanks for the link, but it doesn't work for me. I get a message that says, "Sorry, we can't find that." I think I have problems between CombatAce and my Windows 10 Internet Explorer browser. Some things that used to work for me here don't anymore.

Does anyone know of a small pylon I can add to a T-33 to be able to add rocket pods? I've tried Wrench's F79 missile rails and they fit, but the rail sticks out a bit too far. I've searched numerous weapons packs but no luck. Any help is appreciated. Geary

savagekc, NICE new rig. This should keep you flying in SF2 for a while. You will probably need to build a Windows 7 machine to run SF1. Good on you for volunteering your time to help senior citizens with their computers. I work on computers for spare parts or desserts. Now is pie season. Geary

savagkc, I've built one Windows 7 machine and two XP Pro computers to try SF1 on. Haven't had time to extensively experiment with all three, yet. The Windows 7 machine works great. Over 30 SF1 installs and no problems so far except with some YAP missions but YAP has always been a bit buggy. It's running an Intel i3 CPU, 16GB DDR3 RAM and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 video card with 2GB GDDR5 RAM. For the XP machine I was hoping to find one with an Intel E series dual core cpu running between 2.8 and 3.0 GHz. I've only found a couple with Pentium D chips. Running XP Pro 32-bit on those with 4GB DDR2 RAM and one has a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 card with 2GB DDR5. Haven't loaded SF1 on it yet. But the first XP machine with a 2.8GHz Pentium D bogs down a bit set maxed out in the game. It only has a GTX 740 card with 2GB DDR3 RAM. I'm thinking the 3.0GHz Pentium D with the GTX 650 card will do better. I'd also like to try XP Pro 64-bit on one to take advantage of the extra 512MB of RAM the 32-bit version doesn't use. With the Windows 7 computer running SF1 so well, seems like I don't need the XP machines at this point, but think I'll keep one handy. Never know when I'll need it. Like you, I suspect DirectX and/or video being part of the problem with SF1 crashing in Windows 10. It would be nice to get this problem fixed and only have to run one gaming rig, but for SF1 I'll run two if I have to.

Windows 7 is my favorite MS operation system. Worked great first time out. Maybe I'll experiment and load an extra computer with Windows 7 for SF1 and conduct a trial to see which runs it better. Hate to loose SF1. Still gives me pleasure and I've got campaigns/installs in SF1 we don't have in SF2 and plenty of YAP missions that don't run in SF2.

trotski00, I'll most likely build an XP computer rather than Windows 7. Microsoft says it still supports Windows 7 but I've reloaded a couple dozen Windows 7 computers in the past few months and Microsoft has strangled the Windows 7 updates. Updating Windows 7 is now a freaking struggle. Updating the initial Windows 7 install to Windows 10 is much easier. Windows 10 is here to stay. And it runs SF2 with few problems. xreal, Thanks, but I have Windows XP. I need a Windows XP compatible computer to put it on. I've had dozens in the past few years and got rid of them all.

Has anyone found the right combination to get SF1 to work fully in Windows 10 64-bit? I can get it to start, run a mission or mission-in-campaign, but about 80% of the time it either locks up or CDTs when exiting the mission. The best compatibility mode I've discovered for my rig so far is XP SP3. Every other mode seems to lock up or CDT more that XP SP3. Although the compatibility troubleshooter usually chooses Vista it doesn't work better that XP SP3. Doesn't seem to matter if it's a clean install or modded or where I run the game from it still CDTs most of the time. If I can't find the fix for SF1 in Windows 10 64-bit, I will probably retro-build an XP computer to run the game. Just my luck I've gotten rid of dozens of old XP computers over the past few years.

$31.28 from Amazon. No shipping fee if you're an Amazon Prime member. You will have to take your motherboard out of the case to install the fan. I thought it would come with a bracket for beneath the MB but it only uses plastic washers and thumb screws. Still, the fan isn't as heavy as I thought it would be.
