Piecemeal

Well I've had some luck with the RAF Hercs. They're now appearing most of the time after I made these changes: [MissionData] NationName=RAF ServiceStartYear=1970 ServiceEndYear=2010 AircraftRole=TRANSPORT AircraftCapability=DAY_AND_NIGHT Availability=VERY_COMMON Exported=TRUE <- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - changed this to 'TRUE' ExportStartYear=1970 <- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - added these two lines ExportAvailability=COMMON PrimaryRoles=TRANSPORT,AIR_ASSAULT SecondaryRoles= NormalMissionRadius=1121 MaxMissionRadius=1824 Ceiling=12588.2 MinBaseSize=SMALL Still no luck with the C-5 or C-141 but that's probably because they've not been edited for use in SF2.

Yessss pleeeezz!!!! You've just made my country's 'flying club' look almost like a proper air force

Minimum airfield sizes are OK; C-5s and C-141s are set for 'LARGE' and the C-123s and C-130s are set to 'SMALL'. Userlists are sound as well. Peculiar - most peculiar

You're not the only dumbell on that one. I should have thought of it myself. That seems to have sorted that problem out. Groundobjects were set to 'high'. (Love the van btw) No joy there I'm afraid. Still only C-123s showing up. I'm now convinced that it's got to have something to do with the C-5/C-130/C-141 DATA.ini files There shouldn't really be a problem with the C-130s showing up as they're made for SF2, but the C-5, C-141 and 747 are from the SFP1 download section:dntknw:

No joy. All that's showing up in any era is the C-123 and they're in use up to 1985 .................... :suicide2: Clamping aside though, but could there be something missing in the other aircrafts' DATA.ini files that's in the C-123s? [AircraftData] DestroyedModel=Destroyed_C130.LOD DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect EmptyMass=36289.4 EmptyInertia=831467.4,1070491.8,1280653.0 ReferenceArea=162.12 ReferenceSpan=40.41 < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm assuming this is the important factor as regards the maximum span allowed? ReferenceChord=4.01 CGPosition=0.00,2.48,0.00

OK, so I've downloaded a whole loada Cargo planes; the C-123, C-141, C-5 and Boeing 747. So far out of about ten single mission startups in small aircraft I've noticed the C-123s lined up on the tarmac. Funny thing is that when I took a C-5 or a C-141 for a test spin there were nearly always C-123s lined up - but ONLY C-123s. The Starlifters and Galaxies have never shown up on the ground. I've tested this out on SF2E and SF2V and there's no problem there. In SF2 I always use my updated Desert terrain. Could it be something I'm missing out in that? BTW, I made the following changes to the 'DESERTAIRFIELD_4' ini file without any joy: LargeParkingChance=90 <- - - - - - - - - - - - - - (changed from 25) Look - I know it's not a major thing and I know that the game'll run well without this thing rectified, but as some other members will tell you, I just can't get enough of the old eye candy on the airfield. Ideas anyone?

Would there by any chance be a max for the amount of static aircraft? Just clutching at straws here. Fubar - I'll give you an eight for that remark.

What's bugging me is that the info that's needed is there on the airfield_ini files, I've even cross checked it with the stock ones to make sure that all the I's are dotted and the T's crossed. The small aircraft are coming up most of the time. Why not the bigger ones?

I'm patched up to June 2010. I've got SF2/V/E/I in a merged install. The large aircraft in my mod folder are the SF1 C-130A, the add-on RAF Hercs for SF2, the recently released Boeing 707 and (of course) the stock SF2 An-12. Another thing; I did about ten or twelve single missions starting on the runway just to see if there was some randomness attached to this. The fighters and the like turned up most of the time, but never the big movers; not even the likes of the the B-57B

Double jeapordy

Just downloaded the terrain and flew a mission or two. Sweet as a nut. Well done bud

Personally I think that's what makes a good dawn/dusk screenshot snap. I guess it's just a matter of taste, eh? Home on the range Beagle in their sights

Twilight bloom? Whassat? Seriously though, I'm useless at environmental stuff. You're best bet would be to ask ShrikeHawk. He's our resident e-weather expert and all the environmental mods I'm using on SF2 are his.

F3s on a Dhimari dawn

I say, Mister Soulfreak; with these pictures you are really spoiling us

That terrain's just become a 'must have' for me. Cheers bud

Hey Soulfreak; what terrain is that where you've the T-38 parked on the ramp near the RAF C-130?

Another one bites the dust

The French connection ......

May the Police sniper's bullet travel straight and true. Prison's too good for this p***k.

The morning calm before the dawn raid

Early start . Let's just hope he's had his Weetabix, eh?!

Morning glory BTW, well done to the MF team for the new F-14 add-on. A nice surprise to come home to after a relaxing holiday

It could have been worse my friend. At least you didn't end up doing this:
