You also have 'SpecificStationCode=1pilones' in your weapondata001.ini file, but not in your weapons entries. You might want to try commenting it out for the time being, ;SpecificStationCode=1pilones.

Wilches, Sorry if I gave the impression I am 'making' this model. I don't know how to 'make' models. This model is the Bell 206 JetRanger from YAP's pay ware 'Drug War' install, which I have. I am working to 'convert' it to a reasonable facsimile of an OH-58A Kiowa for my Vietnam installs. Mostly repainting a skin and hiding a few bits. I would also like some weapons for this a/c. I need an M27 Armament Subsystem with an M134 minigun. Hate flying around in a war zone with no weapons. So far, I've only found the minigun, but no way to attach it. If I understand it correctly, the YAP Bell 206 is converted (?) from a FSX model? If you don't have the YAP Drug War install, you might try converting the FSX freeware version. Then paint it and make/attach the weapons you want. The attached screenshot is what I'm converting it from:

OH-58A Kiowa scout helicopter of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, Vietnam. (WIP) (Thanks to Allenjb42 for his help with this skin.) Hunter Killer Team.

B-26 Marauding over Germany, 1943. (Wrench's Original work - paint, decals now with new lines, rivets...)

HOLY SH!T!!! (I think I sucked up my seat cushion.)

amariani, What do you have in mind?

Looks like enough for a start. Now all we need are a lot of experts and artists.

Sounds interesting. I would like to see this, too. I did some French skins for some of the US prop planes I think they used, not sure though. I don't know enough about that era. Any idea what planes they used and what the skins looked like?

Do you have this version of the Campaign Customizer: SF2_DLC011_CampaignCustomizer_setup_Jul2013.exe? This is the latest. You can get it from ThirdWire's site under the support Tab. Then to Download Center. You will need your access code given to you when you bought the Campaign Customizer. Not sure why it' not working. Would think the auto update would've updated that, too.

You might try uninstalling the Campaign Customizer and re-installing it.

Tuskegee Airman Lee Archer's favorite ride. (Scrapper's SF1 skin for Wolf257's P-51D fitted to Wolf257's P-51B model.)

Yup, clichés are almost inevitable. They have ruined a good war movie or two. One in particular that comes to mind is 'Flight of the Intruder.' Great A-6 flying and carrier deck scenes. Cliché script and subpar acting. Still... Intruder scenes. I've seen trailers for Midway and Dauntless. Dauntless CGI is a bit cartoonish, but still looking forward to watching those scenes. There are some great black and white war flics out there. 'Command Decision' comes to mind even if it is more of a play/stage drama. Don't know/recall what movie you speak of here. Some of it sounds a bit like 'Attack.'

Wizard43, I watched the trailer for Dark Blue World. Looks like it's got some good flying scenes, but most of it seems to be about 'Romance.' I have nothing against romance, some of my best relationships have been romantic, but personally, I don't care much to see 'romance' in War Movies. I think it muddies the movie. Saying that, I have Pearl Harbor. It's in my War Movies folder simply because it has some of the first great computer generated imagery in a war movie I had seen to that point. One day when I get time, I plan to edit out the CGI flying scenes from that movie and a few other. It will shorten the movies but make them much better in my opinion. Mission of Honor is another current movie I've seen about the Polish 303 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. Again, too much romance muddying the movie but some good CGI flying stuff.

I saw 'The Train" when I was quite young. I agree it's worth watching. Not classified as a "War" movie but right next to it. It's much better than one of Burt Lancaster's last war movies, "Go Tell The Spartans." This movie is pure disappointment. I like Lancaster in it and the place and era, Vietnam in the early 60's before the US decides to go full bore there. But the movie was done very cheaply and it shows. I think it was filmed in someone's back yard with a home movie camera. Lancaster looks a bit out of place in it. One movie I've seen on Netflix, can find the book in different forms, but can't seem to find a DVD/BlueRay for it is "Siege at Jadotville." About Irish UN Peacekeepers in the Congo in 1961. Based on a true story. Poor buggers got a lot more than they expected. Good movie. Not great, but good.

Sabres over Korea, 1952. (Wrench's SF2 Korea terrain in SF1.)

I've seen the Dien Bien Phu movie online. Will have to search to find a copy. I've also seen a good movie about the war in Aigeria. I don't remember who made it, though. Thanks for the info.

I think this is the 'latest' in the SF1 download section. This doesn't work on my Windows 10 computer if I extract the .exe and .ini files from the zipped file. I run it 'in' the zipped file and it works for me.

This is a link to two entries in the knowledge base on adding carriers to campaigns. It should get you started. https://combatace.com/forums/forum/190-adding-carriers-to-campaigns/

Gepard, Do you know if there are any English subtitles or translations of this movie? Sounds interesting. From my short online search for this movie, I didn't find any handy to obtain or with English subs or subtitles. jeanba, Can you suggest any good French movies about the French in Indochina leading up to 1954? Hopefully, movies with English subtitles also.

jeanba, I agree, a lot of movies are missing. The site I pointed to is of course someone's personal opinion. But it showed me some movies I hadn't heard of. Now I have some movies to look forward to watching. "Section 317 (317th Platoon)" looks interesting. That's an era and place I have an interest in. I think I can find the movie and English subtitles for it. While I'm not much of a World War I era fan, "Capitaine Conan" looks interesting from what I can find on it. Unfortunately, I can't find English subtitles for it. Is the italian "La Granda Guerra" a comedy from 1959?

Let us know if this works.

So far the only one of the newer movies I've seen is Battle for Sevastopol. Interesting movie. I didn't know about the relationship between Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyudmilla Pavlichenko. Liked the way the movie was woven together. I have Days of Glory (Indigenes) but I'm having trouble getting the English subtitles to sync. Collecting the others to have a viewing of them and see if I agree with the title on the site of "7 Great Foreign Language War Films You Should See.' Of course for me they need have English subtitles. Saw Das Boot MANY years ago. Now I'm interested in watching it again.

At least foreign to some of us... depending on where you live and what language(s) you speak. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/history/great-foreign-language-war-films.html?fbclid=IwAR0jFjjZ0qeHS1TwSfJsh88IA4AgFW_5iPc-bRmCmUojDuIdvh_XA8NmvcU

I've attached the ODS_Patch_1.rar. I don't remember where I got it or if it's even necessary but I'm pretty sure I installed it. It's been years since I installed ODS. Also, don't know if where you have your game installed is causing your problem in Instant Action, but seems that if the rest of the game is working, it shouldn't be the cause. I have my games installed on a second drive. ODS_Patch_1.rar

I believe there is a patch to this install, ODS_ Patch_1.rar. Don't know if that will fix your problem, though. As Gatling20 said the InstantAction.ini and Options.ini need to have the same player plane and that plane needs to be in your Aircraft folder. Also, check ALL the planes in the InstantAction.ini file to make sure you have ALL those planes in your Aircraft folder. Sorry I can't remember if I changed my InstantAction.ini when I installed ODS. I'm under the impression it came working.
