1) I'm not an expert but I think my system is older than yours with less RAM and I've got no real problems with speed. 2) Like all of the SF2 games you can add what you want - Want to fly a CAP off the coast of Libya in an F-14 or F/A-18 or a Strike on a nuclear site in Korea in a F/A-18E, F-35, B-1 or F-22? Maybe you want to fly an F-14 TARPs recon over Syria in the 1980's and follow it up with an Alpha Strike with A-7s or A-6s from the carrier or just fancy a quick single mission over Vietnam flying an F-8 from a carrier? If you've installed the mods you can fly the mission. 3) SF2:NA is part of the SF2 series so the 2nd Gen mods work fine. Remember, if you've read the linked threads above yet, you'll see that you're creating your NA install from a reguar SF2 install anyway.

deltalima you can run SF2:NA in windows XP. I'm doing it and so are many others. Then you can fly carrier based game generated single missions without having to set them up in the mission editor. The thread linked below (and the thread linked in that thread) shows you how: http://community.combatsim.com/topic/28697-sf2-north-atlantic-and-windows-xpdx9-it-can-be-done/ Once you've done that you should download this mod which will give you the naval maps for the stock terrains as well as some of the most popular add on terrains too.: http://combatace.com/files/file/12804-water-maps-102zip/ Hope that helps.

+1 (Let's hope this doesn't deteriorate into anything like the Targetware vs Thirdwire debates of many moons ago.....)

I just set up a new install - WestPac, including Korea, Taiwan, Kamchatka, Darwin, and maybe some of the WW2 Pacific terrains, for lots of action with USN planes that have Nx on their tails! Anyway, like a newb I went mod crazy and packed in loads of stuff without testing and now when I get into the cockpit I've got all the debug info onscreen. What file do I need to modify so this doesn't happen in future or an I missing something in the Options screen? Thanks.

I did the alt-D thing but sure enough it came back next mission. Thanks for the info on the HUDDATA.ini guys. Case closed.

I have to disagree. I wouldn't expect TK to give away a USAF F-16 as a DLC, even if it's a Netz with a grey skin and some ini edits. Maybe he's saving it for a future exp pack. How about a 1980's Korea scenario with WP tail codes? Of course this will be after he releases a "classic" 1950's Korea game, right about two weeks after Wrench and the team release the KAW MiG Alley mod!

RIP.

See, that's what happens when Dave isn't around to remind us to backup every five minutes. :(

That's the one Sandesh! Thanks mate. Edit - just downloaded and noticed it's actually a first gen mod and not SF2! Never mind, a bit of converting's good for the soul! Kevin,IanH and dtmdragon looking forward to the updated mod. Raven - thanks for the assist.

Here are a couple of icons for anyone who wants to set up a dedicated install for this campaign. Eritrea_Ethiopia.ico Ethiopia_Eritrea.ico

Nope, correct yourself again Kevin! Dels already did a U: http://combatace.com/files/file/9992-ac-130u-version-10-for-sf2/

SF2:NA - Convair's AllStars Edition

Stratos, I just added the SF2 Afghanistan terrain to an SF2 install, went into the Afghanistan_NATIONS.ini file and added FriendlyNation037=SOVIET Now I can quite happily fly MiGs, Sukhois etc over the terrain. BTW. I've got an SF1 Wings Over Afghanistan install with loads of Soviet & NATO planes, ground objects etc. I edited each of the aircraft's DATA.ini files so that the soviet ones ended in 1989 and the NATO ones started in 2001. That way I don't get F-15's flying CAP for an Mi-24 strike and Su-25s flying defence suppression missions when I fly an F-14D strike! I kept some of the Soviet heavies - An-12 & Il-76 etc - to represent modern UN or aid relief flights. When I get time I'll do a dedicated SF2 install and drop the 1st Gen.

Isn't there a Soviet Su-25 in one of the NATO Fighters packs? Also here's a link to ACIG that might have some useful articles: http://www.acig.info/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=5&id=30&Itemid=47

Many happy returns guys!

Really nice Bronco Spinners. Convair F/A-201I 'Lavi', 116 Squadron 'Flying Wing', 1980 Skin is by Hank Essers for the FSX model - he did all the work. I converted it for the SF2 model in about 5 minutes! More to come. I can't help thinking the Convair needs another pylon per wing, F-15E style LANTIRN pods under the intakes and an F-16I style spine or Skyhawk hump. It's just to darned graceful looking at the moment!

These might come in useful. Jonathan if you want to use them in a future update please feel free. They were free downloads from the music company's website so there should be no sharing issues. MainScreen.wav SingleMissionScreen.wav

Many Happy Returns Guys|! Is 6 on one day the most simultaneous birthdays we have?

Altogether: 'It's a completely new model Blackbird!'

Wiki mentions Mk82s and British 1000lb bombs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_air_forces_in_the_Falklands_War#Armament

I hate to say it but the poll is even more complicated than the download instructions! J/K - The Intruder is one of my favorite planes and you're doing a great job with it. Can't wait for your Prowler pack.

BBC are saying the Syrians shot at one of the SAR aircraft too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18586645 BTW if the Phantom was an RF-4E, do we know if the Turks are providing intel to the Syrian rebels? http://www.albawaba.com/editorchoice/syria-fsa-assad-430951 The Guardian also claims that Turkey has allowed the establishment of a command center in Istanbul co-coordinating the supply of weapons to the rebel fighters in Syria, staffed by more than 20 mainly Syrian nationals.

Mazeltov to you and all the family on this special day.

Imagine a Tom Clancy novel where the plot revolves around a us carrier battle group attempting to retake a strategic island from an invasion force that arrived covertly aboard civilian vessels. US military personnel are trapped on the island by the invading force and report back to intel experts by satellite phone to give them vital info on enemy force dispositions. No this isn't Iceland and Mike Edwards and his band of rag tag marines but part of the plot of Debt of Honor where a resurgent Japan captures Saipan forcing a US military response. Like RSR us stealth aircraft save the day in many sequences including Comanche stealth helicopters taking out 767 AWACS (Operation Dreamland anyone?) and F-22s taking on F-15Js. The action in the book takes place off Saipan and also over the Japanese Home Islands. I'm not sure if we have a Japan map yet but I'm pretty sure Wrench did a WW2 pacific map that included Saipan - it will need to be modernised and converted to SF2:NA standard. Other than that we probably have most of the other players available for some modern PAW action - Japanese F-15s & F-2s, WBS's Japanese ships, F-22 & F-15E, B-1 & B-2 bombers, and the various navy birds from the carrier air wings involved (which I think was Stennis & Enterprise, I'll have to pull out my copy of the book to check). Any thoughts guys?
