Have you been on a desert island? IMHO If you are still on XP stick with WOE but if you are on Vista or W7 then I'd get SF2E. BTW why is trim so important to you?

View File [Fictional] BAC Lightning F.6N 'NATO' BAC Lightning F.6N for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:Europe This mod is meant for those without the Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2 (for Strike Fighters 2 Europe) and is a simple mod of Russouk2004's superb BAC Lightning F.Mk6 from the SF1 archives to give a fictional F.6N (N for NATO) in service with four NATO air forces (Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and the UK) in a 1966 to 1988 timeline. Unfortunately, the 3D model has some issues with decal bleed on the vertical tail and also with shadow 'ropes' but I've elected to leave shadows ON. I've had a play with the FM by pasting in some Third Wire Lightning DNA including adding 'ghost' outer wings to allow for this 3D model having a one-piece wing whereas the Third Wire Lightning has a two-piece wing and I've also fiddled with the mass fractions to distribute the weight. It flies really nice and will perform a 'hands free' take-off (flaps down, throttle up, brakes off) with the usual ability to supercruise and climb supersonicly. As this mod is meant for those without the Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2 I've used the pit from the stock F-4B Phantom. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the LightningF6N folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the LightningF6N folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop both files into your Sounds folder. Bingo Fuel! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Massive thanks to Russouk2004 for creating the Lightning F.Mk6 a real British thoroughbred. Thanks also to Sundowner for the silver/NMF Lightning skin used for all eight skins with tail markings pasted on top by yours truly. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - January 28th, 2024 Submitter Spinners Submitted 04/03/2010 Category What If Hangar

I applaud your reasoning with... a thunder-clap. I'll get me coat.

It didn't get a name but it would definitely have been given a name if it had entered service. On British forums the name 'Eagle' is the most often touted name for it but that cannot be officially verified.

For folks in the UK I can recommend the PC World £40 portable hard drive jobbie. It's about the size of a pocket calculator and stores 320GB. I bought mine this morning and it took me about 15 mins to back up my essential SF2 stuff.

Very nice!

@ mikeymead - excellent!

How's that bro'

McDonnell Douglas F-4EN Phantom - No.323 Squadron, Koninklijke Luchtmacht

Version 4 now up. Another 60 decals added (512 in total) including the spiffingly colourful Royal Auxilliary Air Force squadron markings.

I think the Hunter 3D model was revised last year with added droptanks (similar to the F-4's so brilliant for matching your drop tank skin with your aircraft skin) so perhaps your Hunter is an older mod that is now using the newer 3D model (LOD). I think that the black sun thing is a mod. I had that and removed the mod, but can't remember which one it was.

Or hide behind Piecemeal's livestock!

Suggestion regarding max mission radius [MissionData] NormalMissionRadius=1850 MaxMissionRadius=6860 <<<<< This figure needs to be trimmed right back to at least half as 6860 is the theoretical ferry range with four drop tanks and a weapons bay tank!

I've got 'non install patch envy' (NIPE)

To be fair, some of the 3D models and skin textures are so much better in SF2. If you don't believe me check out the skins on the WOE F-4M and the SF2:E F-4M.

Yes. It's quite a simple ini edit (adding a component and then removing). I'm not on my 'play' computer at the moment but the F-100A download gives a good example of the method.

That'll do me! Sorry to hear that you've been unwell ravenclaw_007 and I hope that you are now in good health.

BAC Lightning F.Mk56N - 322 Squadron, Koninklijke Luchtmacht

I hope it's sorted soon but in the meantime I've gone back to Dec 2009 (Combo). Retro-tastic!

Totally agree. Ho-hum.

Yes, which neatly explains why I sometimes see it and why sometimes I don't.

I don't see why not, the difference between SF1 series and SF2 series isn't some sort of brick wall and nothing can pass between the two. The knowledge base is your friend!
