Piecemeal

Wasn't Ravenclaw working on an Iranian F-4 package recently? I thought I saw some screenshots.

 

 

London today ...

 

I'll raise you ten on that............

The EU is not dictating anything.

Oh really? Then why were the Irish electorate TOLD by Brussels to run the Nice and Lisbon treaties a second time after the public rejected them????

That's not democracy mate, that's dictatorship.

I hear you Captain V.

The most laughable part of this is that it's been the actions of the Commision that have caused all this in the first place, and they can't even see that.

It stands to reason that if you continuously ignore the concerns of the people, and ram policies down their throats, under the guise of progressive liberalism (or any movement), eventually they will revolt. People can call what I've said racist or bigoted if that makes them feel better, but what's happened in the UK yesterday is democracy in action.

That is exactly what I hate to see. If he really had to do something to the EU flag, he should have washed it, not burnt it. That flag once symbolized unity and peace. Nowadays the EU is/might be something else, but that gives no right to burn the flag that was brought to light at a cost of two world conflicts.

But have you stopped to wonder the reason as to WHY he burned it? He hasn't been the first person to do so and by no means will he be the last. Ordinary citizens are not feeling the benefits of EU membership. The EU is a great club for big business, banks, etc, but that's about as far as it goes. Here in Ireland we've been listening to our Europhile government bleating about how times are starting to get good again, yet we're in the middle of the biggest housing crisis this country's faced since the 1930s. When you look at countries like Spain, Portugal and Greece, who are still on very shaky ground.

The EU has become a little too federalised at this stage now and ordinary folk are just tired of it. It was fit for purpouse when it was the EEC - and like a knackered old motor - it's fit for the scrapyard.

Narrow margin or not, I'd like to congratulate the UK for making this bold step. From watching broadcasts in the UK to engaging in webchat it's so obvious even Stevie Wonder could see that there's a growing disaffection across Europe for the whole project. To put it bluntly; being in the EUSSR is beneficial if you're a businessman, banker or politician - but not for the ordinary Joe in the street.

May there be many bonfires in Britain tonight.....

Try cutting the diameter of the projectile to half the gun's real bore size and changing the muzzle velocity to about 1000m/s +- 20m/s.

 

Here are a few that I worked on myself, all naval artillery.

 

 KJakker LR Guns.7z

That seemed to work with the M109s and D-20s. They appear to be throwing their rounds a LOT further, albeit on a straight trajectory - instead of an arcing one.

During the rebuilding of my Sf2 mods I decided to try and look into the possibility of solving the reason why in-game artillery never manages to throw rounds further than 2km.

(Take no notice of the extended tracers - I'm using them to better judge the trajectories of the rounds!)

I rather suspect it's got something to do with these lines in the _DATA.ini:

GroundObjectRole=ARTILLERY

RangeFinder=2

BallisticComputer=-0

(the last two lines may have a big factor to play here, if only the correct numbers were known)

 Anybody got some advice on how to remedy this little riddle?

I've been working on recreating my personal campaigns for the Desert 4 terrain, but I keep having problems with third party 3D objects causing the game to crash when I'm approaching waypoint 4 - it's also around this time that opposing ground objects in the target area are supposed to spawn.

By a process of elimination I've been able to single out the IraqiSquad object :

I've also had the same problems with certain add-on ships; notably the CV-43 Midway carriers and the Type 21 model from the Falklands mod.

Does anybody know of a remedy for this issue?

(whistles) ...raaaaindrops keep faaaaling on my heaaaad......

Meanwhile; ten thousand feet above:

As far as I know, neither the aim-9B or the R-3S had a proximity fuse. They only had a contact fuse. The proximity fuses in the 'winders didn't come into play until the later models.

At the moment of merge...

The Desert 4 terrain was designed to work better in high power PCs. FRPignon is right when he said that you would have problems running the terrain on high settings on an average PC.

Home and dry.........

"Attacking target!"

 The flight lines are always full when it's shish kebab day at the canteen.....

A close encounter of the wrong kind

Many thanks once again to denisoliveira for his work on this fabulous mod

Evenin' all

I've got what I'd call a big problem when I want to play a campaign in Strike Fighters 2. When I click on the CAMPAIGN tab on the main menu I end up getting the black screen of death before a small window appears informing me that "StrikeFighters2 has stopped working". I'm totally at a loss as I've never encountered this before.

Anybody know what might be the cause of this?

Nicholas: i think the individual effects files are ignored by game engine if you have particlesystem.ini in the mods folder... so it's either use individual effects, or use one single ps.ini, them 2 ways mutually exclusive.

 

^does not help with win10 prob however. i'm just avoiding it at all cost:|

I think you hit the nail on the head there, Do335. I renamed ​​ClusterBombletExplosionEffect to the stock ​ClusterBombEffect

Problem solved! Third party effects - stock name; and NO messing about with the ParticleSystem file

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction

Does anybody have any problems with third party effects while using Windows 10? I've had a problem with various effects from Stary's Unified Effects mod which used to work fine for me on Windows 7. One example is the ClusterBombletExplosionEffect - I release the CBU and there are no bomblet explosions on the surface. In each case with each effect I've checked and re-checked to ensure that everything necessary is in the Effects folder.

Hi Snailman. Great work on the pack!

I noticed with the Kh23 missile you have an effect assigned called "MissileInFlightFlareEffect". Is that a stock effect or a third party one? If it's the latter could you pass it on to me? Cheers and thanks again!

Ah does anyone have a 512 tileset for the desert4 terrain? All my attempts have failed 

or like a toned down version of desert4 that might work better on less powerful systems?

Simple. Just resize the tiles yourself. AFAIK it can be done on any PC using Microsoft Paint.
