Hi community, It's probably been asked before, but is there any way to get rid of the on screen text messages, such as when AWACS are advising you? This is the only thing that is killing my immersion in the sim. Thanks for all the awesome addons too. Cheers, Andrew.

Thanks Wrench, appreciate the advice. :-) Andrew.

Hi Biggles, Did that, but the messages are still appearing it seems. Just so we are on the same page, I am referring to the messages that display automatically on a strip in the middle of the bottom of the screen. Cheers, Andrew.

Any available guys? Have searched the downloads section but cannot seem to find anything. Thanks, AJ.

Hi community, SF2NA is now almost "sim perfecto" for me; just need 2 more issues sorted out (if indeed it can be done). 1. Can I reduce the size of the text for in game radio messages (such as AWACS?) 2. When I go out on a strike package, I always seem to lose my EA-6B's, mostly without them even launching their HARMS. Is there any way to fix this? The six-bravo is a specialised platform FFS! Thanks, AJ.

Excellent work!!! Many thanks! Andrew.

OK, so this has me confused in single missions...... I will put together a strike package, let's say to bomb a power station, but when I add in some aircraft as escorts (Say, F-15A) I cannot seem to select appropriate weapons, such as AIM-7's. Is this limitation a bug in the sim at all? Also, I find that in a group of 4 aircraft, number 4 always seems to bugger off and do his own thing, and as a consequence, ges fragged. Aside from that, having a blast! (no pun intended) Cheers, Andrew.

So which TW sim do we need for this guys? I recently uninstalled Strike Fighters 2 because I did not like the fictional countries and campaign.....LOL Cheers, Andrew.

Must I extract to edit / access the default aircraft please? Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Wrench, do you mean in the compressed ini within the CAT file? I've extracted the CAT file for the F-4F and dropped the ini etc into the main aircraft folder with SF2 Europe, but my changes are not happening, I've double checked my syntax and everything. Later tonight I might extract all of the CAT's directly into the root game folder and have done with it. I can see this as the only way now that this will work. Thanks all, Andrew.

OK, I'm running the March 2012 version. I've got the Lightning F6 etc working, all I want to do is add better hangar screens for them........from what I have seen so far, the aircraft are all in CAT file 13 onwards. Skatezilla; it looks to me like if you extract soemthing from the CAT file, it automatically re-archives itself again? Thanks all, Andrew.

Just what I was looking for............a basic shot I know, but you can see she's gonna reek havok once over the target area......

Hi guys, I have just downloaded Stary's awesome Baltic terrain, and I was hoping to make a new instance of the game, based around the Baltic, but with Gen 4 and maybe 5 aircraft. I copied my entire merged SF2E folder, and installed the terrain once it was unzipped. At the moment, my German and Atlantic terrains are still in their respective CAT archives. I removed the GermanyCE from the copy, and installed the Baltic terrain, but I cannot seem to use it. So, can anybody tell me where I went wrong please? Thanks, Andrew.

All fixed up and looking sweet. Thanks guys :-) Andrew.

To everybody in this community, and especially the modders. All of your works have completely transformed this sim, into something that I never thought it would become. Over the years, I have wished that I could get into modding, so that I can give something back, but I can't :-( Might sound like a fob off, but it isn't. For those who don't really know me, I'm 45 years old, I'm a network engineer and an IT consultant. I'm married with three kids. I usually work ~ 10 hours a day, and whilst i would love to do some modding, by the time I have got home and spent some time with the family, I only get a little 'sim time'. Part of me feels guilty for not being able to contribute. But, nearly every day I drop onto this page to see what is new. I really really hope that TK does the same. You guys are one of the best groups of people I have ever been involved with, and as I have said to Dave a few times, I WILL get my ass to the U.S one day, hopefully to meet some of you. So, from me at least, if you are a modder, even if you are working on something which you consider simple, always know that your work is appreciated. And a special thanks to the Combatace guys for always keeping this page active. Cheers all, Andrew.

Kout, Your work is truly outstanding mate! Awesome stuff indeed. Andrew.

Hi community, I seem to recall a high resolution F-4D being available for WoE. Pretty sure it came with the 'Europe One" lo-viz camouflage. Has anybody seen this? If so, is it a complete aircraft, or do I need to extract the Thirdwire F-4D from the .CAT files and install a skin? Thanks all, Andrew.

Soulfreak; I do, yes, but so far, I have only had issues with one SFP1 import, and that is the A-6E TRAM from Column 5. For unexplained reasons, the decals do not show on the bird. I recall my CAT extractor worked with WoE before. Cheers, Andrew.

By the way, the MiG pilot made it.........lucky bastard! But I was in too high an energy state to give him a customary few rounds from the Vulcan! LOL

My First North Atlantic Kill!!! CAT One!

Hi community, Before I ask, I would like to stress that I have read all of the FAQ's and notes explicitly, but I am still having some issues with some of the mods that I have installed. I am mostly having issues with installing the high detail seats and pilots. I am at a loss, because I have followed the instructions, but they are still not there. I have even placed the objects within the actual aircraft folders, as per the SFP1 days. There are only a few places I *think* I may have gone wrong: 1. I downloaded the A6E TRAM from Column 5's site. Is this an old version? 2. I downloaed the FA/18 package from here, I'm sure it's up to date. 3. Within my Thirdwire\SFNA directory, I have all of the required directories. The only thing I can think of is must I also copy those folders to my SF2 Europe folder as well? My sim is patched to the latest version. 4. Lastly, with the imported aircraft, the decals are not showing, even though I have dropped those into the correct folders too! No UAC switched on with my system. Thanks all, Andrew.

Resolved. :-) Thanks for your help everybody, and feel free to laugh at my stupidity...LOL Andrew.

Hi Dave, Nothing nested in my "Pilots" folder. Within, it has the seat type/name folder, and the lods inside each one. BUT, seems my F-18 folders are nested, so I have: (Sqdrn Name\D\ and then the TGA files within. I'll move them out and see what happens. Still at a loss about the seats and pilots though. Thanks for all the help. Andrew. :-)

Hi Guys, Dave, I did not put those files into the root of the executable folder, no. Is that where they are meant to be? My mods are all in the Saved games\Thirdwire\Wo_ directories. Cheers, Andrew.
