Piecemeal

I'd love to know the answer to that myself. :yes: Talkabout timing! I actually went to put some money on my card today in order to buy YAP. When I got back home I had a quick look on this site for the daily news gossip and discovered this thread!

I must say that adding SAM sites to the Dhimari map in SF2 has made a huge difference to my campaigns. I finished one of the 'Quick Sand' missions a couple of minutes ago and Parani aircraft of all types were dropping like flies! I only hope that when I get my hands on an F-4 that there's some MiGs left for me to drop

I just checked the Hawk PAR folder and all the above are present and correct. Radar mesh is still missing though. Must be cos it's the older Pasko version. Do you know where I can get the newer one from?

Those Dhimaris don't like to miss, do they?!

I just flew a recon mission in a MiG-21MF over Dhimar. Look at this for SAM insanity: During the mission I flew over three Dhimari SAM sites ...... during debrief I counted a total of 31 SAMs thrown at me ...... as I speak I'm still scraping the s**t from my shorts. Oh, and while I've got some attention - has anybody had this problem with their Hawk PARs?

Quick question lads - when flying in single missions, is it normal for SAM sites to sometimes be missing from the map?

I've been mulling over whether to get Yankee Air Pirate but have been wanting to ask questions that I can't find the answers to on the YAP site; 1. Is the playability level the same as WOV? By playability I mean is it more complex to operate 2. Is there a bigger hit on the FPS when compared to WOV? 3. Is it overall more a enjoyable experience?

I think I've been well and truly sold on this issue, guys. I finished reading 'When Thunder Rolled' by Ed Rasimus last week, and I'm about 90 pages into his second offering 'Palace Cobra'. I hadn't played WOV in a LONG LONG time and after reading through these books I think I've got a case of the WOV munchies coming on .............. :yes: $24.99 - a good bargain judging by the screenshots on the website. As soon as I get some money on my card I'll be burning it on to my hard drive

Two replies - two positive ones. Sounds promising :yes:

I was think of doing that as well, but lately the couch potato in me has taken roost Definitely worth a try at some stage though :yes:

I was going through those INI files and noticed that the Nike Launcher and its associated radars have no Network Type entries. I'd place 'Nike' in, but I'm not sure if that would be the right entry So it seems that the Nike system was the culprit for the mixed SAMs. Thanks for the info on that

Can you tell me which line in the launcher DATA.ini to check out? I'm looking through it now. Cheers bud Under the 'Detect System' head, look for 'NetworkType=X'

I was looking at my modified F-105 cockpit and was thinking that it would look great for cockpits if you could have a more realistic looking glass radar lens look when the radar is turned off. Something like this: And then maybe when the radar is switched on to have the RADAR_PPI bitmap transposed in with the glass radar lens in order to give that 'transparent glass' look. This might be a good example: Convert one of them into a TGA file, maybe?

You awake over there, Al?! C'mon, man - get your s**t wired! Uh, yeah, boss; sorry boss. It's just these damn long haul flights over the Dhimari Straits. I thought this was what the Navy was sent here for .............................. that hangover ain't helpin' either.

I got a second hand book last week by Osprey publishing called 'Battle For The Falklands (3) - Air Forces'. It's part of their 'Men At Arms' series. There's some detailed illustrations in that book Check out the cover:

All shot up and a long way from home Don't you just love the new damage textures in SF2?! :yes:

Those deck drew make for some REALLY interesting screenshots :yes: . Add-on?!

I've downloaded both the F-104C and the Pakistani Air Force F-104A and I've just wondered if there's any third party F-104 models that have the fixed refueling probe AND the under fuselage pylons. I thought I'd ask so as to save me the trouble of downloading all of the models to find out

That was one of the first F-104C models I downloaded. No fuselage 'winder rails I'm afraid. Pity really. It's a great model

Come dive with me

I just finished a strike mission in SF2. Hit the target but got my tailplane blown off by 23mm MiG cannon on the way home. I only found out on debrief that I was killed. So it seems the dead CAN fly. I was wondering how I was able to bring what was left of my aircraft home to base in my dead state

11 out of ten my friend ...... compliments to the chef

More bridge bustin'

Has anyone been able to mod the A-6A's fuel gauge to show the digit counters?
