Hi David! Seem to bump into one another in the oddest places!

I've found a new trick. Le Missionneur does work with SF2, in some ways better than KMD, with which I haven't managed to add vehicles to a mission for example. The problem with LeM was that it couldn't find the terrain maps... So if you make a new folder in your Mods folder, name it "Terrain" as opposed to "Terrains" - SF1-style structure - and copy your extracted GermanyCE/IsraelME/VietnamSEA into it, it works. Having said that, it doesn't like the stock aircraft - unicode files. So write the mission using SF1 aircraft you've imported, and then once the mission has been generated, you can hand-edit it to use the SF2 aircraft if you like. Back to my game...

Thanks, Storm. Good to get us going!

You're going far further than I'd imagined! All I was looking for was a new CALLSIGNSUS.LST (which wouldn't be called CALLSIGNSUS.LST but CALLSIGNSIDF.LST, for example) with new names for the flights. I hadn't even thought of a new set of sound files - that would be fantastic! Got enough Arabs to hand - I live in France! - but a good Israeli accent could be hard to find round here. There are some speech files in the dowloads section, but they just sound American to my ears, without that characteristic Israeli something...

I'm just thinking that the US Vietnam-era call signs are fine for Vietnam-era US flights... But does anybody have any convincing Israeli and Arab ones - transcribed, all the same! - for SF2I or WOI? Just a little thing that grates and reduces immersion.

Ja, since we've now got two versions of SF2 to deal with, it gets a bit confusing... Watch this space - I'm on an all-grey late version soon, as well. Just got the decals to recolour and in two cases, replace; two aircraft from the original batch were lost and replaced. The replacements kept the same tac numbers but had different s/ns.

View File Hunter GA.11, FRADU, Fleet Air Arm HAWKER HUNTER GA.11, Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy, RNAS Yeovilton, 1970s Stand-alone aircraft for SF2 (all variants) only Contrary to popular belief, the Royal Navy fielded a number of squadrons of Hunters, primarily for training and second line duties, although these were also "mission-capable" if the need had arisen. FRADU was the last FAA unit to use the Hunter. Further information and photographs here: http://www.fradu-hunters.co.uk/index.html Credits: Spinners modified the Thirdwire stock Hunter FGA.9 to make it flyable, and fitted the cockpit. He also provided inspiration for decals. Submitter ndicki Submitted 11/01/2009 Category Hunter

View File Icons for SF2, all variants I didn't merge my installs - and I won't be the only one. That leaves us with the difficult problem of working out which desktop icon points at which install... This should help. There's a different icon for each version of SF2 - SF2, SF2E, SF2V and SF2I. Should be fairly obvious which is for which! ;-) Submitter ndicki Submitted 10/31/2009 Category Icons

I can imagine! No, as far as I'm concerned, it's a non-starter from that point of view. But it gives me one or two odd paint schemes to do when I get bored...

Very true - it wasn't like Flanders. But while I'm not going to do a campaign or anything - no idea how, for a start - there are some nice paint schemes!

View File SE5a, South African Air Force, 1920s South African Air Force skin for the TW Stock SE5a. These rather surprising roundels were used by the SAAF from its inception in 1920 until 1929, according to IMPS SA. They were used in "combat", during the Johannesburg Rand Revolt against militant white mineworkers (Maggie Thatcher would love it in old SA!) and the Bondelsvart Uprising in SWA in 1922. The rest of the skin is not really historical, because while some SAAF SE5s stayed in PC10, most were painted bright silver, and had 3-figure serials in black on the rear fuselage. The aircraft which I have seen still wearing it's original brown PC10 dope also still carried its RAF serial number, so I have simply left the stock serials and letters in place.

I've asked MontyCZ, just to be on the safe side... It should be fairly obvious which side this one's on!
