yeah I'll do a few tests once I get home and see what happens, not so sure where to look though.

Aloha! There's a mod out there, sorry I'm not sure the name of it. You might need to hunt a bit for it.

I don't think the F-22 was named after the dinosaur (I might be wrong), but after the category covering birds of prey. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/raptor I've yet to see any official USAF images linking the F-22 with the dinosaur. But I have seen this official USAF picture; Not trying to be a smart ass, but let's all know what the name of our new baby stands for! :)

I agree BOBII is a great flight sim (I even love the head movement) but what has kinda ruined it for me is the campaign. I just wanted to jump in my spit and shoot down some planes, like I do in EAW. Not play military strategist. I know there are some tweaks to play as 'just a pilot' but even that seemed a little compicated to me. I guess I'm just a little lazy, other then that BOBII get 5 thumbs up!

Canadair would there be a way I can get my hands on your resized skins? For one I'm not sure how to even do that and also I read one needs photoshop or something like that- and I don't. Maybe you can upload it here or somewhere else?

Ok thnks for the answer! I thought I read all the pages carefully,

I have a quick question! First of all congrats on this mod Baltika, nothing beats flying a Spitfire as one of 'The Few'! I get rather unacceptable frame rates when I attack bombers. I'm pretty sure it's because of all the tracer smoke. So maybe just getting rid it would help alot, but I'm not sure what files it is in Effects folder. If you have other tips on how to improve fps while approaching bombers let me know! Apart from bomber attacks, my frame rates are perfect. cheers

Right! Since when does an aircraft's turn rate really mean anything anyways? Din't the lumbering F-4's score a 12-1 kill ratio vs the nimble MiG's in VietNam?

It was here yestrerday...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there was an easy .ini way to make your AI flight fly at a lower altitude? I'm flying the F-111, so I want my boys to fly in, pickle, and get the hell out the target area as low and fast as possible! Instead some just loiter around at 4,000 feet getting their arses shot. Thkns

That's it! Very quick testing with these settings: [Altitude] Normal=150 Low=100 VeryLow=50 High=5000 VeryHigh=8000 Made my flight follow me down low! I guess around hilly terrain I can pull up a bit and avoid AI crashes, since they follow my altitude. Thanks guys, I learned alot! Beer's on me!!

By the way a text search of that .ini file shows no result for 'VeryHigh'. So I either extracted the wrong thing or I'm missing something.

That might be the key modification to make! But where is this located?

That looks very interesting! But I changed some values and don't see a change. The extracted .ini goes in the flight folder right?

That's great news! Maybe I'll get my F-111's to terrain follow after all! btw can anybody link me to this extractor? I can't seem to find it in the download section so far...

Thnks, I'll look into that! Not sure about the extractor but I'll figure it out.

Thnks for checking, I din't even know there was a Formation.ini! Yeah I was guessing that the AI might smack into the ground if they flew at 100 feet. We would 'just' need to tell the program never let AI planes go below 50 feet. Unfortunately this is probably getting into the hardcode?

Obviously they will follow your general altitude, but will not go below around 1,000 feet. We just need a way to tell the AI, follow my exact altitude even if it's 100 feet.

There's a RAF Speech pack out? Oh you guys leave me no choice now, I gotta try out this Battle of Britain Campaign!

Hey guys, Just want to dogfight my Tomcats vs some F-5s (Top Gun Movie style!) over the ocean, but I don't know how/where to find an all water terrain. Also, how hard would it be to throw in a carrier group in there to land on? thnks

Ok the manual isn't to clear on this: Skill of your opponents- Easy/Normal/Hard Easy: Enemies aren't all that accurate, they'll fire less often and miss more. Below avrg ACM. Medium: Opponents are slightly better shot at range and are better at executing ACM. Hard: Opponents are seasoned veterans who pick their shots carefully and are fairly accurate. Dogfighting these enemies won't be an easy task. I'm just wondering which one is the more 'true to life' for Soviet pilots. Looks like on the other options (ammo usage, flight model etc..), Hard seems to be the realistic setting. On the Normal setting my F-16's pick off SU-27's with relative ease, but on Hard I often find myself with a SAM up my tail pipe. What do you guys think and which one do you use?

I hope you guys read the book! Way better then the movie, plus the author Stephen Coonts was an A-6 pilot in Vietnam, so the dude knows what he's talking about. btw that sfmods.com site seems to be down.

Hey guys, The tail numbers on the F-16A blck 10 NDC http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3507 are gone after a few missions (they are there for the 1st mission after installing). Any ideas?
