Guys since I'm currently SF2:I blind I can only state my general thoughts... First in previous SF2 titles terrain INI's were NOT saved in unicode, if the game is not caring for modded data.ini it might be that now unicode IS required...that's a simple fix and can be done in a matter of seconds. If this works it will most probably solve the white patches Second the TOD's, if they require unicode I have no idea how to slove that, it's entirely possible that TK did al this with new terrain editor which saves files in unicode, if that is true then we will all have to wait for new TE...

Yeah lol, I posted this then waited...waited....got really impatient and decided to ask even though I still didn't get the game lol Anyway if the ini's are not the problem here, then without the tool SF2:I terrain was made with we can basically forget terrain modding...it's hard to talk about it for me right now as I can't see what's going on, but I will very soon :)

Well if there are so many changes to the terrain, one could expect a new terrain editor... Did anybody ask TK about that?

ROFLMAO! But to be on topic, gumpy that looks VERY nice

Hmm, let's see: 1. Cuba - missile crisis 1962 goes HOT, not a bad idea, you go from historical crisis to fictional but completely believable full escalation of the conflict, shortcomings are most notably too little ground for WP forces to stand on, if we put another realistic scenario out of the picture(nuclear holocaust) I think USA could literaly sink Cuba even in 1962. But this is not a bad option AT ALL 2. Korea - NK never officaily proclaimed peace, so one can virtually pull out some kind of conflict out and it will not be too far fetched 3. Taiwan 60's-80's - hmm maybee but I think too many new planes would be required? 4. Middle east - the name says it all, that place was and still is so explosive you can pull out anything there and it will be quite believable! 5. Fictional Bering Straits scenario or scenario from WiC:SA could go quite well. Actually in WiC:SA USA and NATO are fighting in the USA and Germany/France in the same time... Overall I think TK could/should pull out a Libya 1986 scenario, practically all he needs is an F-14...

Hmm...you got me interested....there's a lot of well satellite covered places in the US...this could be done very nicely...

Woah, 3 familiar names in one day, happy brithday guys

Theese are not my tiles. This is a classic example of how to make easy installation of mods very complicated by not reading the readme.txt files :wink2:

I was talking about regular news only portals, not CA and the like.

It's meant for stand alone SF2:E but I don't think merged would be a problem...

On October4 at the age of 91! one of the greates aces of all time(275 aerial victories!!!) passed away in his home... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Günther_Rall P.S: Unfortunetly I found out about it over various forums, not in news or on news portals, I guess it was not as "important" as some Hollywood chick showing of 1/5th of her B-sized titty

Previous installers worked on Win7 just fine

What the?

I just had to read the stupid comments on YT..eh, but it's a great video and I would kill to see the thing fly in person...

-RWR is your best friend in BVR engagements, especially the TEWS in SF2 series, not only will it tell you which direction is the threat coming from, but also what it is and to some degree what is he doing(scanning, tracking etc.) -once you know the direction of the threat try to position yourself at highest angle possible to it, 90deg is great for example as missile will have to turn a lot and loose energy while doing it, however AI is in great advantage here and I personally think TK should adjust BVR AI functions a bit, because they can evade missiles in a way you can only dream off and there's other stuff to check out... -with above in mind you might think there's no help, but there actually is, terrain masking works flawlessly What I do is running on the deck at a razor edge of crashing into the ground and high speed then: -pop out a bit higher wait for them to lock you up and fire missiles, hit the jammers, drop some chaff if it does not work hit the deck again, they will loose the lock, if you are persistent enough it can even happen that they spend all their BVR missiles and you have a turkey shot at them. -remember rushing at them head on at the speed of heat will get you nowhere, AI will fire all their AHM,SAHM or IRM at you if needed, completely disregarding other planes in flight or even multiple flights! I had up to 28 missiles fired at me(you can check it out in LOG on debrief screen) and not a single one at other 7 guys in our two flights! -Anyway 1950-1970 is really more interesting as AI shortcomings are not so obvious(game design period) and you don't expect the missiles you carry to hit anyway But in the end, I prefer 80's, 90's so I'm stuck with what we have...

BTW regardless of accuracy one can change the name of an aircraft quite fast and simple

SpecificStationCode=AA7 Either remove this from the planes DATA.ini or add it to the missile via Wep Editor...

I personally have no clue, if Wrench is not working in silence I don't see it happen until I get STT or somebody who has the time to go over target areas. It's a shame really, my intention was to release this baby atleast a year ago if not more

That's great news. Call me crazy but I always liked the looks of YF-23 better than YF-22

I rarely give suggestions to 3D modellers as I have apsolutely no knowledge on that, so please don't take this as me being a smartass or something.. Anyway, if possible please include multiple LOD's(even just one extra can dramatically improve performance), I don't know if many people realize that but that is the mother of good performance while maintaining awsome visuals, you may not notice it with a few planes but when things get busy you really notice the "kick" of high poly models with no multiple lod's and I see that quite a few modellers lately don't really care about multiple lods even some payware guys... Anyway as I previously said, this is just a suggestion, I have no clue how much work is needed for that to be done...

Thx guys

Hmm if my all seeing Falcon eyes do not decieve me this is a "C" :yes:

My suggestion to everyone wanting to have old mods in SF2 is: check the knowledge base and do everything by yourself for yourself...

Yup I waited a long time for it even though I could argue originality and quality weren't lacking and in times when modder status didn't bring as much as now so I can definitely confirm that this status does not come easy...
