Man submit what you want, why not both, the one you have now, that actually is starting to sound kinda cool and crazy (now that you mentioned the F-86 )and the other one...

edit* fixed by configuring HOTAS section.

More pictures of coming new skins with campaign form Ghostrider383

The mission sounds cool, submit away. I would use a traditional MIG-21,23,29 instead of a fictional MIG-28 just so more people can get into it. My only suggestion..

I was leading a flight of four F-14s ( I had fired all missles at a MIG-23 flight a few minutes before and was about to turn home , when ground control mentioned more enemy planes in the area), we then engaged a flight of MIG-21s, after a few turns, I almost had a mid air with a MIG-23 that came out of no where and a friendly F-4 in hot pursuit (we were not escorting we were on sweep). The sky is full of planes, the radio is off the hook with ?he?s on your tail? he is firing a missile? I?m hit ?I?m hit?all hell is breaking loose. I do not ever remember having 4 plane types, all dog fighting in a relatively small area in the game like this before. I realized I better pause and snap a few shots. It was a massive MIGs up , like I do not remember before. What a cool game SF1 is. You will see here all 4 plane types in one shot, A Mig-23 in the upper left, and inverted F-4, F-14s of course and a MIG-21 breaking hard to the right. Here is the same scene as seen from the F-14 approaching the fur ball from the other side. Keep in mind that there are other planes not in view. Finally here is my last kill of the engagement , a gun kill on the MIG-21,a few seconds after the first pictures were taken .

do you have the latest weapons pack installed? is it just some of the weapons or all of the weapons? Basically more details if you can provide them.

Cool stuff... it is a whole new art form...

Ramp, You have to go to the campaign_data.ini file and add it like this, notice the F-4 squadron in the upcoming Iran Iraq campaign below (have the latest weapons pack installed, go to a file called weapondata and study it, use the same spelling to add the weapons like you see below, ): [AirUnit005] AircraftType=F-4E Squadron=11TFS StartDate= ForceID=1 Nation=Iran DefaultTexture=Iran StartNumber=1 BaseArea=Mehrabad Intl RandomChance=100 MaxAircraft=16 StartAircraft=16 MaxPilots=16 StartPilots=16 Experience=60 Morale=100 Supply=50 UpgradeType=Never MissionChance[sWEEP]=50 MissionChance[CAP]=50 MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=50 MissionChance[ESCORT]=20 MissionChance=50 MissionChance[CAS]=50 MissionChance[sEAD]=50 MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=50 MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=0 MissionChance[ANTI_SUB]=0 MissionChance[FAC]=0 MissionChance[RECON]=50 Supply[001].WeaponType=Mk81 Supply[001].Quantity=2880 Supply[002].WeaponType=Mk82 Supply[002].Quantity=1440 Supply[003].WeaponType=Mk84 Supply[003].Quantity=240 Supply[004].WeaponType=LAU-3A Supply[004].Quantity=480 Supply[005].WeaponType=Tank370_F4 Supply[005].Quantity=480 Supply[006].WeaponType=Tank600_F4 Supply[006].Quantity=240 Supply[007].WeaponType=AIM-9P Supply[007].Quantity=640 Supply[008].WeaponType=AIM-7E-2 Supply[008].Quantity=480 Supply[009].WeaponType=Mk82SE Supply[009].Quantity=240 Supply[010].WeaponType=Rockeye Supply[010].Quantity=360 Supply[011].WeaponType=BLU-1 Supply[011].Quantity=240 Supply[012].WeaponType=AGM-45A Supply[012].Quantity=240 Supply[013].WeaponType=M36E2 Supply[013].Quantity=480 Supply[014].WeaponType=AGM-65A Supply[014].Quantity=180 Supply[015].WeaponType=CBU-29 Supply[015].Quantity=180 Supply[016].WeaponType=CBU-49 Supply[016].Quantity=140 Supply[017].WeaponType=CBU-52 Supply[017].Quantity=180 Supply[018].WeaponType=CBU-53 Supply[018].Quantity=180 Supply[019].WeaponType=CBU-54 Supply[019].Quantity=180 Supply[020].WeaponType=CBU-58 Supply[020].Quantity=180 Supply[021].WeaponType=CBU-59/B Supply[021].Quantity=140

Fubar, amazing, out of curiosity, do you like the mig-17s and 19s , do you like all MIGs or the Mig-21? (My favorite is the 17 and the 21 hands down...)

Hi rampstrike! I certainly love campaign editing! My best advice is for you to download an existing campaign (anyone). Observe the files use to make it, open the files, explore and change stuff?I know this sounds strange but do this first then come back with specific questions and I will be glad to help. 1. download a campaign 2. see what files are needed to affect the campaign 3. open them with something as simple as notepad Your specific question centers around the campaing_data.ini , you need an extractor found in the download section to find this file. (or you will find the file in a downloaded campaign) If you open the *_data.ini file (whatever it is named) These are the parameters that control time: [CampaignData] StartDate=012/04/1981 StartDateDeviation=0 ForceWithInitiative=0 MaxMissions=75--------------------------------------------------------------------------* NormalMissionRate=5--------------------------------------------------------------------* NormalMissionRateDeviation=5-------------------------------------------------------* OffensiveMissionRate=5------------------------------------------------------------------* OffensiveMissionRateDeviation=5-------------------------------------------------------* CampaignEndWinScreen=Winner1.bmp CampaignEndLoseScreen=Loser1.bmp CampaignEndStallScreen=Loser1.bmp CampaignEndWinText=IIwin.txt CampaignEndLoseText=IIStall.txt CampaignEndStallText=IIStall.txt I will upload editing notes (not created by me)to the forum tonight. Have fun!

You know even after working with Starshoy to correct inaccuracies (like pointing out the weak default Japanese AI settings..) for months after PFs release, I have never tried the single missions, sounds real cool. Can you let me know what file to post this to? thanks

Do you think we might be able to upload it here?

Hi Fabbio and welcome to one of the best games ever , it is primarily a single player game that is fully modable, hundreds of planes, terrains and campaigns have bee added. Feel; free to explore the world, there are some multi layer servers up , but it is primarily a single player game with an amazing amount of things to find, install and explore.

The Mig-19 is finshed and wrapped up!

Spectre keep an eye out for possibilities in Vietnam 1984 campaign Mod., I am kind of busy right now and won't be able to test it for a while. let us know :)

Before: After:

And he can fix the stock ones! Before: After:

Changed flight names in game to VPAF names.

Fubar upload!!!!! Very nice , all of it!

This is a much better representation of the skin .

Scout I loved your reply so much(good stuff) that I feel like giving you my opinions on each and everyone. ....but I'll stay on the subject...here is more good stuff (I am trying to locate the complete interview). Robey Price Aug 6 2001, 9:58 am hide options Newsgroups: rec.aviation.military From: (Robey Price) - Find messages by this author Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2001 16:46:57 GMT Local: Mon, Aug 6 2001 9:46 am Subject: Re: Colonel Tomb Just to add to the confusion...in Steve Ritchie's _Oct 72_ interview for the USAF Oral History program says, "As it turned out, we engaged a flight of four MiG-21s with two MiG-21s and two [MiG] 19s high and in trail with the first flight." >IMHO, a rather probable version is, that Lodge and Markle have got >both MiG-21s, and Ritchie - which followed rather a radar than visual >contact (!) - has got Nguyen Hong Son on MiG-19, shooting it finally >down by a Sparrow. Respectfully, Ritchie reports that Lodge and Markle took face-shots killed two MiG-21 then the 4-ship coverted to the rear hemisphere on the second pair of 21s. Ritchie had a 'tally' on the MiG he shot down. A MiG-21 from about 5000'-6000' feet aft. >Of course, these are only names starting with T, but, knowing about so >many different (and partially completely wrong) English spellings of >certain other names (for people, places etc.) I wouldn't be surprised >if some misinterpreted name was indeed the reason behind the whole >legend behind the "Col. Toon".... Again from Ritchie's perspective (as indicated by his interview), Q: Are you familiar with Nguyen? SR: Yes, he's called several different things--Tome, Colonel Tome, General Nguyen, and the Red Baron. Q: When you left [sEA], was he back on flying status? SR: As far as I know. Q: As far as you know? SR: That's right. Q: Do you know who shot him down? SR: Do I know who shot him down? No. It is my understanding that he has been shot down, since early in the war, a couple or three times and that he ahs a number of F-4s to his credit. I've seen him a couple of times. Of course, I didn't find [that] out until after the action. The guy can really turn the airplane--really maneuver the airplane--but he loses wingmen on a regular basis. He has little concept of mutual support and doesn't care anything about his wingman. He'll save himself, but he just leaves his wingmen and his wingmen normally get shot down.

Starfighter I think everyone here understands that. We're trying to help uncover the identity of the pilot Cunningham shot down. BTW I will post an Interview later tonight with Steve Ritchie , in 1972, a debrief for history done by the USAF and he discusses "Colonel Tomb" he ran into that VPAF pilot twice in his career (he was told after he landed both times) and even discusses his flying characteristics "He can really turn that air plane" He cared little about wingmen". So there was a hot shot pilot identified by the US, obviously not 13 kills, but some of the piltos we are disucssing had 2 or 3 kills to their names. Whoever the pilot was, he was good, we know that much. There were very FEW VPAF pilots so the fact that Ritchie and Cunnigham ran into him is not far fetched at all.
