What aircraft is it in the pic above ? looks great..... Kinda looks like a DC-3 but it can't be 'coz DC-3's have semi-retractable landing gear....... i've seen the above aircraft before but i can't quite put my finger on it.... Is it an Ilyushin Il-14 'Crate'?

Nope.. It's a transport built by Avro / Hawker-Siddley during the '60's.... Some are still in service today..... Infact there's a squadron of HS748's stationed in the airfield near my workplace.... They' look awesome during a low level flight... By the way Veltro if you don't mind my asking Are you Indian by any chance?

Dear All, As I understand that there are both F-15 ground crew and pilots who are members in this forum, I request the following clarification: What are the external visual differences between a factory fresh F-15E Strike Eagle stripped of its CFT's, Targeting pods (& not yet painted) and an F-15D that isn't painted yet... How would you tell them apart.? Please coulld someone help me out on this ? Thanks...

Wow! impressive

Thanks for the info JM... but tell me something please... Does the strengthened fuselage of the E visually differ from the regular one of the C? and if an F-15E were to be fitted with an AA loadout and with its CFT's empty how well would it perform as a fighter? most if not all aircraft encyclopeds mention that an F-15E relieved of its A/G payload will perform just as well as a fighter version of the Eagle.... please verify....

Hi Warthog64... I know that the D & the E have different cockpits but, i was wondering about the external differences... ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Eagle groundcrew & pilots; Please, could you povide some more detailed info? Thanks

The Tomcats look super-awesome now... Thanks a lot Spectre....

Yeah... Same here... Thanks again gentlemen!

Oh, yes indeed! most definitely! thank you very much! :yes:

Just downloaded it & enjoying it... Good Show gentlemen! thanks a lot!

Dear All, I have a question regarding the F-15 Superpack for SF2 (http://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-24/) : Which flight model difficulty is it designed for? I'm asking because i can't seem to turn fast enough to evade enemy missiles. I fly on normal difficulty on a merged copy of SF2: Europe Israel & Vietnam patched to November 2011... could someone help me out on this? thanks. P.S. Don't get me wrong this ISN'T a complaint. Thanks again

Hi Caesar, thanks for the info.... one more question though: Does your reference to the FAST packs only apply to the detachable CFT's on the F-15C/D or also to the integral CFT's on the F-15E as well? Thanks

I usually fly the F-15C's & the F-15E's with a loadout of 4 AMRAAMs under the fuselage & 4 sidewinders under the wing.... speed is about 900 kph...

Dear all, I've recently downloaded 3 drone aircraft for the SF2 range: the QM-29, the Firebee & the QF-100. The Fulcrum and the SuperSabre drones show up but the Firebees don't... even when i change the nation name to 'Range' and make them common.... and even the mission scripted for them 'drone intercept' & the T-45 mission for sidewinder training on Sim HQ, they don't show up I get a 'mission accomplished' once i'm airborne or just when the mission starts... Pleasse could someone help me out? thanks...

Yes sir... SF2 it is... Sorry i inadvertently posted here....

Dear All, i stumbled across this thred on sim HQ (http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3355743/Re_SF2_Training_Mission_08.html) but couldn't find any links to download Firebee drones, i couldn't find them here either... please could someone help me out? thanks

Dear all, thanks for all the information provided... X-Ray; Please don't get me wrong... I wasn't trying to find fault but rather thought that the gray rear gear was a problem in my installation.... Sorry if i offended you...

Dear All, I've recently updated my merged install of SF2: Vietnam Europe and Israel to Nov 2011 standards. I'm experiencing issues in changing the terrain dates..., although i have increased the allowed year by a 100 year interval and creating a subfolder for each terrain location in the terra as suggested in the knowledge base http://combatace.com...eries-terrains/ i can't change mission dates... and i have not tampered with the aircraft service dates either. I had uninstalled SF2, backed up my mods in the thirdwire subfolder under savedgames, reinstalled SF2 series, patched it up to the latest patch, and then reinstalled my mods as before... Please help me out. thanks

Hi Flogger23, Are you saying that the rear wheels of the blackbird were gray in real life? any particular reason this is totally new to me....

Dear Soulfreak. Only the .LOD's belong to the A-Team... The other files, (skins, .ini's , cockpit,etc) are very much available here at CA (http://combatace.com...pgrade-package/) that's why i posted it here...

Thanks Eric.. it's good to go now...

Dear all, i have a few questions about the nose landing gear bay doors of the T-45 Goshawk : In this link http://img.fyjs.cn/Mon_1003/27_5215_f74395ecb2aa7a2.jpg the T-45's in the foreground have a different type of main gear door bay where as the one on its final approach in the background has a different type... Are there two types of nose unit landing gear bay door patterns for different variants of the T-45? Please could you clarify this? thanks.

Hi Vampyre, Thanks for your reply.... So you're saying that the larger forward doors open only prior to the nose gear being lowered or raised and then close shut as soon as the wheels are raised / lowered. Nevertheless these doors can be opened for maintenance/servicing by the ground crew. Did i understand you correctly?

Dear All, I've recently downloaded the Mirage Factory F-16C Block 25/30/32/40/42/50/52 3.0 for SF2. i've noticed that there is also an F-16D folder named " F-16D_B30_agr " in the file contents. I've unzipped the files to the appropriate locations and all the F-16C variants show up except the F-16D, even after adding the Cockpit folder, Avionics.ini & cockpit.ini & renaming them accordingly. Please could someone guide me as to where i went wrong? Thanks

Dear All, I'm expriencing bizzare problems with regard to the afterburner effects, of certain SF2 aircraft; namely the MF F-14 pack, the Eagle superpack, the afterburners quite literally light up the night and gives a glaring white contrast all over the plane and the ground... I have not tampered with any of the .ini's & these aircraft were downloaded from the SF2 aircraft section. i'm posting the screenshots below this message.; Please could someone help me out? Thanks in advance...
