And if you want the stick and rudder pedals working as well as the mirror, add this to the Cockpit.INI Instrument[021]=Mirror Instrument[022]=Rudder_Left Instrument[023]=Rudder_Right Instrument[024]=Stick_Roll Instrument[025]=Stick_Pitch and then at the end of the file [Mirror] Type=MIRROR NodeName=Mirror [Rudder_Left] Type=RUDDER_PEDAL NodeName=PedalL MovementType=POSITION_Y Set[01].Position=0.04 Set[01].Value=-1.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=0.0 Set[03].Position=-0.04 Set[03].Value=1.0 [Rudder_Right] Type=RUDDER_PEDAL NodeName=PedalR MovementType=POSITION_Y Set[01].Position=-0.04 Set[01].Value=-1.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=0.0 Set[03].Position=0.04 Set[03].Value=1.0 [Stick_Roll] Type=CONTROL_STICK_ROLL NodeName=Roll MovementType=ROTATION_Z Set[01].Position=-12.0 Set[01].Value=-1.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=0.0 Set[03].Position=12.0 Set[03].Value=1.0 [Stick_Pitch] Type=CONTROL_STICK_PITCH NodeName=CStick MovementType=ROTATION_X Set[01].Position=12.0 Set[01].Value=-1.0 Set[02].Position=0.0 Set[02].Value=0.0 Set[03].Position=-12.0 Set[03].Value=1.0

The rearview mirror is easy to add to this great cockpit, by a couple of edits to the La-5FN_Cockpit.INI First, under [CockpitSeat001] ...... Instrument[020]=Attitude_Pitch Instrument[021]=Mirror <-- add this line Then at the end of the INI file, add this: [Mirror] Type=MIRROR NodeName=Mirror

Great looking cockpit, thanks a lot Starfighter! I don't think Bunyap ever made a La-5FN, only a La-9 and a La-11 (back in 2005). AFAIK the only La-5 or La-5FN ever released are the A-Team versions.

Check that the aircraft type for Instant Action is the same in both InstantAction.INI and in Options.INI. A mismatch causes a certain CTD, every time you select Instant Action. In InstantAction.INI in your Flight folder, you should have [AircraftMission001] AircraftType=F-86F (or whatever aircraft you want to fly) And in Options.INI, in your main folder, under the [InstantAction] heading, you must have exactly the same aircraft: [InstantAction] AircraftType=F-86F

Only AircraftObject.DLL has the parameter CanFlash=. The other DLLs (NavalObject, GroundObject and GroundMobileObject) do not.

Good find Coupi! I just checked the default Contols.INI in one of my SF2 WW2 installs, and there are quite a few controls in SF2 which are not in the FE2 file, such as: FLAPS_DOWN=F FLAPS_UP=V AIRBRAKES_TOGGLE=S WHEELBRAKES_TOGGLE=B LANDING_GEARS_TOGGLE=G ARRESTER_HOOK_TOGGLE=H ENGINE_TOGGLE=CTRL+I DRAG_CHUTE=CTRL+B OPEN_BOMBBAY_DOOR=CTRL+O DROP_TANKS=CTRL+D JETTISON_STORES=CTRL+J CHAFF=C FLARE=X Probably not much need for a drag chute or chaff or flares in FE2, but I wonder if some of the others work? Some 1930's bombers, like the He-70 and of course the He-111, had bomb bays.

Looks great, I would love to fly it (except in gusty winds, when I think it might be tossed around a bit). Very amusing editing of the registration code in the first photo (F-PITI turned into F-WITI) (linguistic note for non-English speakers: a F***wit is a stupid or thoughtless person)

I've got a dedicated install for the SF2 Korean War mod, and love it. The aircraft set is a bit limited, about 40, but a lot of fun in the jets. I also have dedicated installs for WW2 ETO 1939-45 (170 different ETO aircraft), PTO 1941-45 (130 aircraft), WW2 Russian Front 1941-45 (95 aircraft), WW2 Finland 1939-44 (50 aircraft) and WW2 North Africa 1940-43 (120 aircraft), so I can't agree that SF2 WW2 never took off. There are a lot of WW2 aircraft (and ground objects) around. I don't fly DCS or Il-2, I found them too fiddly and difficult, but SF2 works a treat for me, for WW2 combat flying.

Great new terrain, thanks Gepard! Very barren and sub-Arctic looking. The oilrigs look great, and the occasional flocks of sheep are a nice touch! (although at 1.7m tall, they are pretty big sheep!)

Great looking terrain - for everything from the Fall of Singapore to Kohima and Imphal! Any chance of release?

Outstanding Yak cockpit, thanks a lot Starfighter!

Yes please !

Great cockpit for the Spitfire IX, thanks Starfighter. It makes a good change from the usual Spitfire cockpit, Kesselbrut's model from 2005.

There are two editors for SFP1 available here:

Beautiful! Great attention to detail, and very artistic tiles.

Looks great, thanks Gterl, I'm looking forward to it. That terrain looks very realistic!

Love it !!

What a beauty - a big, elegant and very fast aircraft, with a huge bombload. I am enjoying fast low-level bombing attacks in this one. Congrats to Veltro2k and his team for this one!

A change of pace from the usual Sukhoi screenshots - the Sukhoi Su-2 in action against a German column in June 1941:

Love the look of that Ching-kuo! A P-40T Twin Warhawk over Normandy:

I really like the "Limit Texture resolution" feature, as a precaution against system difficulties, thanks Mue, and all decal options are now showing perfectly for me. This is a great utility, made even greater by your attention to detail. I wish some of the commercial software companies I deal with had your attention to feedback and commitment to customer service.

Many thanks for posting this Russo, I haven't seen it in about 40 years, and that was in black and white, on TV. I love watching Vampires, I used to see them at airshows when I was a teenager. And that dawn take-off in the Hunters is pure art!
