I've recently been playing the campaigns from the SF2I expansion pack. However I've noticed that in the Attrition War campaign that most Arab aircraft types that are suppose to update to a different type throughout the campaign are not doing so. If I fly the Arab version of the campaign I do not see this problem, so it obviously only effects non-player aircraft. Has anyone else had this issue?

Got to meet Col. Malachowski in 2009. One of the most professional and intelligent people I'd ever talked to.

I am trying to add decals to the Mirage F1's by ludo.m54. However I can't seem to figure out how to add decals to the wings. As anyone familiar with these aircraft know, all of them have the insignia already on the wings. Therefore I have no template on what to use for the position or meshname. I have tried many different combinations by using templates from other aircraft but have had no luck. I copied and pasted the decal text below from another aircraft to see if it would work, but it has not. [Decal003] MeshName=WingO_L --- Is this correct? I've tried all the options. DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-4.2575,-3.0 --- No idea what to use, tried many combinations with no result. Decals never show up. Rotation=15.0 Scale=0.7 DecalMaxLOD=4 Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Keep up the good work GKABS!

One of my favorites! Along with the 1911

Yep. Ever since the new drivers back in February I've had this problem. I reverted back to the previous driver to fix it.

Thanks for all the info Menrva.

Always been a fan of the Cobra! The longest serving attack helicopter platform. Thanks for the video link Skyviper! Here is another link to one of the best Cobra documentaries ever for those who are interested.

Just thought I'd update this thread. The ODS mod would be perfect if it included Menrva's terrain. Everything is great about the latest mod, especially since the latest aircraft and ship updates over the last few years. The newest terrain by Menrva is really all that is still needed. (more Iraqi naval action would be perfect too of course, but that's not too difficult to add by the novice player). I am no expert but if there's anything I can help with Menrva in order to get your terrain applicable with the latest mod please PM me. I still love SF2 over all the other sims (DCS has better graphics but that's about the only advantage) and have been playing it since I was 13. An updated ODS campaign would really make this game one of the best, even in 2019! Thanks everyone!

That plane will out live all of us.

The simplest way to do it is to open the missile's data.ini file and look for "BoosterAccel" and "SustainerAccel" lines. They are near the bottom. Adjust the speed to a number you think is adequate and test the missile in a single mission scenario. Hope this helps

@KJakker The larger ships including the Royal navy carriers seem to be more resistant to bomb hits. The destroyers are also slightly more resistant usually taking a few hits with 500 pound bombs to sink. The frigates however seem to sink easily still with one bomb. The air defenses are also more formidable, nice job! In regards to Rising Sun I would be most interested in updated data for all carriers as well as heavy cruisers. Thanks again

Thanks for the mod KJakker. Certainly makes a difference.

Thanks KJakker! I'll give this a try when I get a chance and I'll give you an update.

That sounds great! Thanks KJakker As for the structuralfactor, 700 seemed to work fine for the Yorktown, but so far that's the only ship I've tested. What number would you recommend?

The "StructuralFactor" really seemed to make a difference. Seems a good number for WWII carriers is 700, certainly makes the task of sinking them much more realistic. Took about three well placed 500kg bombs to destroy the CV-5 USS Yorktown from Rising Sun. Thanks again everyone

Other ships that are very easy to destroy are most of the ships from the Falklands War mod. Such as the Type 21 frigate and Type 42 destroyer. Thanks everybody for your help!

Thanks KJakker It's primarily all the ships from Rising Sun by YAP. However the stock TW Spruance class destroyer also can be sunk with very little effort. There are others but I can't remember all of them off the top of my head. I'll have to check over the next week and I'll mention them as I find out.
