Although there were no P-40 units in Europe, Wrench did a nice little What-If BoB skin for the Tomahawk, one of my favorites. http://combatace.com/files/file/5279-eto-raf-tomahawk-mk1-bob/

swambast, REALLY looking forward to this. I'd volunteer to help but I don't have any painting skills. Or, unfortunately, any skills for that matter.

Will this help any Spitfire Artists?

Fly it to where you want it, walk it into place, have it stay static and on station which you can't do if it's flying. You can also walk it into much smaller places to see what's there once you've flown it to where you want it to recon. Would love to have one.

That sounds like the place my ex-wife, ex-girlfriends and my children through my hard-earned money.

ALWAYS keep a positive attitude and ALWAYS make a positive effort. These two things will get you through almost everything. Good luck and have fun.

Gee, Dave, How do you find anything in that folder? Yes, I back up. Two internal extra drives, four external drives, four homeservers, and I still loose stuff. Go figure.

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.

I'm importing the SF1 YAP F-100F into my SF2 Vietnam install. I've tweaked a couple of things and got most of it working ok. But according to the data.ini there's supposed to be a separate y-pylon for the left and right wings to carry two-each missiles. The pylons don't show up. I looked into the lods for the plane and the y-pylons aren't part of the lod. It looks like the data.ini info came directly from the single-seat F-100 models. They have the y-pylons as part of the lod. So, I'm looking for some F-100 left and right y-pylons to carry AIM-4's and AIM-9s that I can add to the plane via the fake pilot or weapons systems. I've posted a request for a fix on YAP's Facebook page, but don't hold out much hope on a positive reply. Any help?? Thanks, Geary

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 have a new i7 computer I want to make my gamer. I want to transfer all my SF1 and SF2 games to the new computer. Problem is it comes with Windows 8. I could delete Windows 8 and put Windows 7 on it, but as it's the only computer I have with Windows 8, I'd like to keep it for experimentation and will in all probability migrate to Windows 8 eventually. All my SF1 installs work on my i5, Windows 7 gamer (except YAP installs) but can't get SF1 to load missions, instant action or campaign missions on the Windows 8 computer. The SF1 games start but crash-to-desktop instead of loading missions. SF2 games work GREAT on the new computer. So ... I've tried: - Installed/Updated SF1 games to Oct 2008 patch; - setting compatibility of the .exe file to every mode offered; - loading the game in the primary drive root directory, C:\ - loading the game on a secondary drive, D:\ - updated the video card drivers (same drivers on my Windows 7 gamer where the SF1 games work); - vanilla install; - praying to the flight sim Gods (I also danced naked in the woods at midnight during a full moon with a coven of witches ... but that was more for fun that trying to get SF1 to work in Windows 8); Here are the new computer specs in case anyone can spot the problem there: - Intel i7-3770 8-Core 3.4GHz CPU - Asus P8H61-M Pro 1155 FC-LGA Socket Intel Ivy Bridge-DT IMC / Cougar Point H61 Chipset - 16GB PC3 DDR3-1600 (800MHz) RAM (2x8GB) - 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 PCI-E Video Card - 1TB Seagate SATA-III 7200RPM Hard Drive - 2TB Seagate SATA-III 7200RPM Hard Drive - Corsair GS700 Power Supply - MS Windows 8 64-bit At this point, almost any help is welcomed.
