Hello, I’m selling my home cockpit seat, monitor stand and accessories. The original price I paid for the seat, monitor stand and action platform combined is £535. I’ll be selling the lot halfprice, £265 or near offer (It’s collection only from London NW3). If interested please write me to luca.za AT gmail.com It’s a great flightSim gaming chair, I bought it from gameracer.co.uk and it’s a great looking and sturdy seat, metal construction, comfortable chair and easy to disassemble to store away if needed. I bought the monitor stand and an additional action platform too. I've prepared a webpage with better description and images here http://simultools.com/for-sale Please note, the images below depict my home cockpit and include items not on sale: the warthog hotas, computer, pedals, screen, trackir, saitek panels, thrustmaster mfds, keyboard, mouse, usb hub etc. are not included! Thanks for looking L

I've added 12 more pics and improved the description a lot http://simultools.com/for-sale I'm now also selling a tiny fully featured usb keyboard (15GBP) and logitech wireless trackball (15GBP): they complement the gaming rig quite nicely.

Hopefully it's allright to post eventhough it's not entirely sim related... Hello, I'm selling my takara kerberos jin roh 1/6 action figure. It's brand new (I had it for 2.5 years boxed stored safely in my smoking free home). This is a rare japanese import and it is the best reproduction of the jin roh kerberos suit. Please contact me here luca.za AT gmail.com £140 +p&p or collection from central London pics and infos here

Thanks for this wonderful mod, I just bumped into this and will go back to sf2 after a long break :) just a quick question, what's the consensus in regard to the april patch? yes or no? :) thanks L

For sale: X-Plane 9 on DVD + Global Scenery (entire world), total of 6 original dvds GBP15+p&p Item's location: London UK. Preferred payment method paypal (transfer)

Thanks for this fantastic mod, I started the '66 campaign with the mig21D and was surprised to see no cannon.. is this normal or did I break something when installing the mod? I'm on SF2V alone updated to may2011 with the SF2VA&GWEP2 updated to apr 2011 (and have installed vpaf on top). I thought well let's try this anyway and I ended up fighting a horde of angry F4 and F-105 without cannon and two faulty A-A missiles :-) mig21 without cannons if this is the norm I really don't envy the poor vpaf mig21 pilots :(

Since dedicating fully to the new dcs a10c and the new tm hotas I've decided to sell the following: -Logitech G940 ( with original box and manual ) in excellent conditions, very well looked after -Joystick force feedback -dual throttle -rudder pedals with toe brakes -power adapter -original packaging and box -manuals and cd -Flaming Cliffs 2 with printed manual and printed map -downloadable version with fully working account -backup dvd with all downloaded files -The Fighter Collection Flaming Cliffs 2 Manual -The Fighter Collection DCS Tactical Map http://img442.imageshack.us/f/p1010732r.jpg/ http://img231.imageshack.us/f/p1010731v.jpg/ -Thirdwire Strike Fighters 2 Israel Downloadable version with account id -Thirdwire Strike Fighters 2 Europe Downloadable version with account id -Thirdwire Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam Downloadable version with account id Reasonable offers considered luca.za AT gmail.com ( replace AT with @ ) I'm based in London UK Thanks Luca

Any idea on how to increase the XYZ head movements through .ini editing?

Hello, I've been away from SF2 for a little less than a year and kind of lost track of the pro/cons of merged installs with mods. I was planning to merge SF2,SF2V,SF2E into a single install and add NF4+ and SF2VG mods too and can't remember if it is possible/advisable to merge the mods in the users documnets path so that they were both available with a single .exe launch Thanks a lot Luca

I agree with you guys, separate mod folders and merged main folders... however we end up with lots of redundant files this way and my poor laptop harddisk is complaining :-) I think I'll try a frankenstein uber mod folder at some point in the future

probably somewhere in between dave :) L p.s. I've dropped a suggestion in the thirdwire forums to add a cockpit lights key but it seems TK doesn't feel the need for it.. I just thought it would be a small step forward torwards realism ;-)

I feel night lighting is way too bright too (I'm on SF2x merged). Did you find any interesting mod / settings to use? I had a quick look at the SFP1 download section unsuccessfully :( Thanks Luca

grazie! scaricato, bellissimo l' F104S! qualche buon'anima mi potrebbe far sapere come aggiungerlo a NF4+ cosicche' gli stormi italiani compaiano nelle campaigns? inoltre non ho ben capito dal readme se serve installare il vecchio sfp1 f-104g freeware prima di installare l'f104S grazie Luca

Hello, I signed up for a month of subscription in order to support the site and download a few sf2 packages, however most of the big downloads freeze at around 5-20%. I'm trying both firefox and iexplorer with no luck. For example the file Desrt3_optimized_tiles.7z hangs at 20% Desert3_V1.2.rar at 5% Any idea why this might be happening? THanks Luca

scusate sono stato away per un'annetto e recentemente tornato su SF2 (comprato SF2:I hihihi) lo spillone e' fantastico e mi domandavo se e' gia' uscito e me lo sono perso, ed in caso con quale campaign o mod lo utilizzate (immagino NF4+ vero?) grazie e ciao! Luca p.s. ma un bel mod per i balkani non esiste?

thanks for taking a look, it works now (it hadn't for almost two days) I wonder if this has to do with poor over-the-weekend virgin cable support.. anyway thanks again Luca

merged gigantig installation sounds interesting, do you have all of your mods under a single mod folder called by a single exe right? I just purchased SF2:I so I'll be busy with it for a while, however I wanted to install natofighters4+ too and the vietnam gold expansion and I would rather have a single exe with a single mod folder, much easier for me.. Thanks L

Thanks for looking into this! interesting that it only happens with a few files.. I'm on virgin cable and wondering if they have some proxy/download accelerators their end....hmmm C:\Users\conte>tracert combatace.com Tracing route to combatace.com [216.104.36.210] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.1 2 8 ms 17 ms 10 ms 10.68.224.1 3 31 ms 29 ms 21 ms camd-geam-1a-ge129.network.virginmedia.net [81.97.255.1] 4 145 ms 211 ms 204 ms hari-core-1a-tenge71.network.virginmedia.net [62.30.250.33] 5 21 ms 9 ms 9 ms brnt-bb-1a-ae1-0.network.virginmedia.net [195.182.178.165] 6 10 ms 8 ms 13 ms brnt-bb-1b-ae0-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.174.226] 7 9 ms 9 ms 10 ms popl-bb-1a-as7-0.network.virginmedia.net [62.255.81.237] 8 21 ms 66 ms 9 ms popl-tmr-1-ae4-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.159.2] 9 20 ms 18 ms 34 ms amst-ic-1-as0-0.network.virginmedia.net [213.105.175.6] 10 17 ms 27 ms 49 ms ams-ix.ae1.cr1.ams2.nl.nlayer.net [195.69.145.219] 11 27 ms 17 ms 17 ms ae3-40g.cr1.ams2.nl.nlayer.net [69.22.139.238] 12 24 ms 24 ms 22 ms xe-2-0-0.cr1.lhr1.uk.nlayer.net [69.22.142.94] 13 95 ms 94 ms 120 ms xe-2-2-0.cr1.nyc3.us.nlayer.net [69.22.142.9] 14 98 ms 101 ms 96 ms ae2-70g.cr1.ewr1.us.nlayer.net [69.31.95.145] 15 126 ms 168 ms 107 ms xe-3-0-0.cr1.ord1.us.nlayer.net [69.22.142.74] 16 108 ms 135 ms 110 ms ae1-30g.ar1.ord1.us.nlayer.net [69.31.111.134] 17 166 ms 225 ms 251 ms as32475.xe-3-0-2-1101.ar1.ord1.us.nlayer.net [69.31.111.94] 18 108 ms 109 ms 138 ms asw-c11.r03.ord02.singlehop.net [65.60.6.66] 19 108 ms 108 ms 107 ms trinity.combatace.com [216.104.36.210] Trace complete.

Ok, I'm back to SF2 after a few weeks, I've searched about NF4+ and dec patch but can't find out clearly, so what's the story, is NF4+ happy with the dec patch of not? I would be happy with some of the new dec fixes as long as it doesn't break NF4..... Thanks Luca

uao!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fantastico!!!!!!! ma per caso intendete rilasciare un'addon for nf4+ che aggiunge l'ami alle campagne ed il mitico f-104 negli screenshots? please please :) io in cambio vi mando uno screen dell'f-104 che sto texturizzando per classicjetsims e x-plane9 ;) http://www.classicjetsims.com/screenshots/conventional1.jpg ciao Luca

I noticed the same, huge disk sizes, so I started opening the flight and terrain image files of both the vietnam ground expansion pack and nf4+ in photoshop and realized how unefficiently big some of them are. Imagine there are huge textures for a single window for far away buildings, not acceptable, no wonders the sim runs slowly compared to lets say x-plane of fsx. In this I have to admit nf4+ is much tidier and, apart from wideskys all the other textures could be left alone on highend systems. So I just setup a photoshop batch task to resize down all opened files to 50% with a sharpened filter and loaded all textures I thought were too big and bam the sim doesn't look any different but I gained framerates and diskspace :) framekillers are the sky cloud textures and trees most of the time. I hope it helps Luca
