Off topic, as i think this is nowhere near what you are looking for, but i remember an old DOS game i had, "Black Knight: Marine Strike Fighter", i was obsessed with it.

I got the Nations.ini and set every nation's training standard on Excellent, and it made all single missions much more interesting. But when i start campaigns with difficulty to Hard, the AI doesn't put that good of a fight as consistently as they do on single missions. Do i have to tweak campaign stats such as experience in enemy units as well?

Thanks, i was looking at the files and felt like trying

I've been making edits and modifications trying to use only stock stuff, since using pretty much anything but ini files in the mods folder drops performance drastically I've been able to extract and edit decal inis for stock skins, without extracting the bmp or tga files, but keeping the skin's folder's name so everything matches. What i would like to try is to make another folder for another skin, within the same aircraft, and have it use those bmps from a stock skin, which are compressed under a sort of "address" in the cat files Can anybody give me a clue?

Within the game, the weapons each pylon-rail can carry are determined by service/nationality. However i was wondering about what it took to use different models of AIM-9s back in the day, seeing how you could find, say, US Navy style Sidewinders in Israeli Phantoms and Mirages, and considering some of the different variants and improvements overtime in both the aircraft avionics and the missiles themselves, it could warrant different wiring. I've been googling about it but i haven't found any specific answer, and everything i read tells me it could be either way.

Thanks a lot, that was more or less what i had in mind. Taking Navy models for example, D should have been normal, but then G added SEAM, so you might need another kind of signal between the missile and the avionics, and with H you get transistors, which are better but might need to adapt impedance or something. Looks like they overbuilt the bus from the get go.

Yep, Belt and Road initiative. Perhaps add some Fantans. J-10s might be pushing it a bit but why not?

Mother of...I was supposed to be studying electronics this evening, i hope the professors will be Ok with that.

I've always played with the F-4J (74) a lot, and i was wondering if there was some place to find info about changes they underwent with the DECM equipment in terms of avionics and other equipment

Please, don't feel rushed by my random obsessions. Not even i do.

Sorry, it is still better than anything i've ever done myself anyways

I could totally see a Parani fleet of JF-17s and Su30s. Perhaps some Su-25s, and some older Soviet/Chinese models. For Dhimar, F-15Es, advanced blocks of F-16s. I would throw the European aircraft here rather than on Paran, they seem more anti-west than shady guys who can mess with a more anti-west country.

Marines over Iceland. Including daddyairplanes's awesome F-4J (74), great for people like me, too dumb to fly Tomcats, but that still want something a bit better than an F-4N.

Good luck Viggy, hope he gets well

On the plus side, if it fires but gets stuck, you get a fairly decent boost The poor F-84F was a little slow, so the next option was a little bit faster. And prettier

Give as much info as you can, is in mods you are using, when in particular are the crashes happening, you specs, and so on. The game is old enough that most issues have a fix.

I feel like a bully. Normally i just keep zooming and diving into MiG17s to strafe them when they are almost stalling like sitting ducks after trying to climb with me, but this is one of the few instances in which i got to use Sidewinders for a couple of no sweat kills, one by mine and another by my wingman's. Edit: mispelling

My laptop is an i7, with SSD and an Nvidia RTX card, i mentioned the issue before because i read that SF2, Win 10 and Nvidia cards had issues, so i guess it might be, but my knowledge on computers is, to put it mildly, way below the average to diagnose the root of the problem. The thing is, even without mods, terrains and aircraft vanilla it runs around 18 FPS wether i have graphics maxxed or not, but when i add stuff it goes way worse. The placeholders are the way i get around it

I got a fairly decent laptop recently, able to play modern stuff, but still i get issues with FPS in the game when i have mods in, specially those which take more space. Looks like it is due to using Win 10 with the Win 7 generation. So either i run very few mods, and have parts of the game contrast heavily with one another in the game, or i keep close to none. So what i do on my install is to make certain "mods" that are mostly nothing but ini edits and reused stock stuff to get some slight improvements in the game while keeping the mod folder as light as possible. Examples of this include an expanded campaing in Iceland or Mirage cockpits adapted to make DLC 28 Mirages flyable, but i have several others in use in my install. So what i was wondering is if anybody was interested in "fixes" like that in order to get them more or less polished and shared here

With no ill feelings after Dien Bien Phu, during Operation Rolling Thunder, the French Armée de l'air decided to bomb the crap out of Thanh Hóa bridge

I had your edit, i use this cockpit however because despite the Meteor cockpit being more fit as a twin engine jet, this feels more "French", the frame looks closer, and it still uses stuff from Exp 1

View File Lightweight placeholders: Vautour Proper mods take a severe toll in my laptop, so these are ini edits to provide a cockpit and make stock aircraft flyable using only stock resources. That being said, there are much better mods that are much closer to the real thing, i only provide this in case normal mods cause performance issues in your install It uses the MystereIVA cockpit with Mirage sights, so besides SF2I you need EXP 1. It has certain issues, among other things, it is basically a single engine, two cannon cockpit with a two engine, four cannon aircraft, so you only get gauges for one engine, and i don't even want to look at the ammo counter. Any other issues or suggestions, don't hesitate to send me a message Submitter macelena Submitted 01/05/2021 Category Jet Cockpits  

Thanks a lot everyone, I'm aware of the much better mods available, and have used some of them earlier, these along with several other "mods" i've been uploading lately are just fixes i have on my own install, which doesn't seem to handle mods too well unless they are basically nothing but ini edits, and i uploaded them because it took nothing and someone else might have the same issue.

View File Lightweight placeholders: Starfighters Proper mods take a severe toll in my laptop, so these are ini edits to provide a cockpit and make stock aircraft flyable using only stock resources. That being said, there are much better mods that are much closer to the real thing, i only provide this in case normal mods cause performance issues in your install These are a few edits to make DLC28 and stock Starfighters flyable Basically, i used stock Crusader cockpits and tweaked them a little bit to serve as placeholders, so you will need SF2V, and to already have the aircraft themselves either, or both from SF2E and DLC28 F-104As are a basic F-8C cockpit with an F-4E gunsight Most others (F-104C, F-104C(61), F-104G, CF104 and CF104(72)) are the same plus a ground search radar And F-104C (66) and CF104(76) add an audio only RWR If any issue arises, please tell me, will try to fix ASAP.

I know about this, and pretty much everything i uploaded lately. I even had a Vautour fix you did a while ago. I just do these because my laptop is somewhat sensitive to pretty much every mod other than ini edits, and just in case anyone else had the same issue those work well enough for me.
