The strange looking water with the flickering, appears, IIRC, at some terrains which were developed befor one of the latest WoX patches. There was a fix for it. I will try to find it. It has something to do with the xxx_data.ini of the terrain. For the missing tiles problem you could use one terrain tileset, which is basing on the desert.cat. For a quick and dirty solution of the missing tile problem try this: http://combatace.com/files/file/3778-desert-tileset-beta/ It is not perfect. Give it a try. Dont let overwrite tiles, that you have already installed.

With a new computer now i had the chance to try out Vosges terrain. I must say, it has become a great terrain. Well done. Its a very welcome improvement of my old Vogesen terrain. Only one thing i would like to criticize. The terrain is called "Vosges, France". This is historically incorrect. From 1871 to 1918 the Vosges Mountains were part of the german Empire. It was part of the "Provinz Elsass/Lothringen", which belongs to the "Königreich Preussen", which was part of the "Deutsches Kaiserreich". So the terrain should be named "Vosges, Germany".

For SF2 it is better to have a 3.7GHz DuoCore, than a 3.3 Quadcore. Make sure, that you have a good graphic card and enough RAM. Then is the question which Windows you want to use. Till Win7 SF2 runs without problems. Win8 or 10 can be tricky.

For WoE i made a version of the Saab Draken, where a camera was working in the cockpit. You could toggle between radar modes and camera. I dont know, wheter it would work in SF2 world. It is a simple camera. You cant select a target and you cant move the field of view. http://combatace.com/files/file/10765-saab-j-35-draken-with-changed-flightmodel-for-oct2008-patch/

Em, the lack of hydraulically boosted controls was only in the first batches of the MiG-17. Later built planes had hydraulically boosted controls to increase the agility at high altitudes. In the east german Air Force LSK the planes with hydraulical boost were called MiG-17H, the others MiG-17glatt.

The flightmodel which is used in First Eagles fits better for prop planes than the other games. Thatswhy FE is first choice.

The difference between a tornado in the USA and in Central Europe is the effect on the houses. In central europe usually only the roofs are blown away, the houses stands still. In the USA all is blown away. Perhaps you should start to build massive houses instead the cheap, tiny wood constructions, you call house.

Arresting cables are standard on european NATO airfields as emergency landing stopping device. The WP airfields used nets for this issue.

For me it is better to create the SAM as own target areas. So you can create a SAM network for area defence. With including SAM or Flak into an existing target area you create only a local point defence. Point defence is important, as protection for bridges and airfields. But to defend an area, you need independent SAM sites. AND dont forget. ONLY 16 SAM or Flak are active at ONE target area. If you put more on a target area, not all Flak or SAM will appear in game.

The best would be if you would post a screenshot here. So i can only guess, that the white squares could be missing tiles. Suez2 and Persischer Golf are made for use with desert.cat file as basic. Desert.cat is included in stock desert terrain by TK.

A 20:1 would be impressive and overwhelming in a scenario red F-16 vs blue F-35 with equal numbers, without F-22 fighter escort and AWACS. With a support in that oversized scale the F-35 had during Red Flag, one should expect a 82:0 ratio, like the turkey shooting over the Lebanon in 1982. But not a 20:1. To loose 3 birds in 126 missions is simply bad. Give a F-18E or F-15E strike force, a suitable F-22 escort, massive Growler support and AWACS, you will get a very similar result.

Including Feb 3rd, 126 missions were flown by F-35. All escorded by F-22. F-35 had AWACS support and support by Growlers. As enemy acted up to 20 F-16, which were alsways outnumbered by blue force planes and had neighter AWACS nor EW support. During the missions 3 F-35 were counted as shot down. Not really overwhelming, if you ask me.

Some SF2 models will not work in WoX world, even not with WoI Operation Kadesh. Its a trial and error. If the LOD is not visible in WoI Op Kadesh, then you have no chance to get the plane to fly in the first gen sims.

With patch 2008 you can put decals in the Decals folder too, like in SF2.

The cruciform dragchutes are not invented in the USSR. They are east german know how, invented by a small company, that still today exist and makes the best military parachutes worldwide. The NVA Fallschirmjäger and today the Fallschirmjäger and Special Forces of the Budneswehr swearing of their parachutes.

Wasnt the ammount of the rockets in a salvo choosen by the fire control system of the plane or heli? In soviet systems it was so. You could select salvos of 4, 16, 32 or unlimited. If you selected 4 and your plan carried two pods, each pod fired 2 rockets. If you had 4 pods, each pod fired only 1 rocket.

How real is the setting of the fire rate? For the soviet pods i can say, that TK's pods fire rate is much to slow. You can empty a UB-16 (in game wrongly designated with UV-16, UB stands for UniversalBlock, dont know for what UV stands) in less than 1 second.

The patch you will find in the downloadarea or at Thirdwire homepage.

In this terrain, the DC-10 works fine on my computer. Strange thing. Do you has updated SFP1 to newest level? Patch Oct2008 it should be.

Which terrains do you have?

It could be, that it depends on the terrain you use. The DC-10 needs very long runways. If your terrain has only large, medium or short runways, the game will crash. Try the stock GermanyCE terrain. There the DC-10 will fly. There is an other thing you still must change. In the skin folders of the DC-10, the skin is in jpg format. That you must convert in bmp format. Then you will see following bird in game: tested with WoI Operation Kadesh with GermanyCE terrain.
