The YAP team managed to simulate AAR ingame and I think Column5 cracked how they did it. I don't know if TK ever commented on it.

@Toro: One way around this might be for all your carrier based aircraft to have a skin for the same airwing as textureset001 in your aircraft's .ini file so that when the game generates the parked planes on the carrier they should use that skin.

I might be losing it but I was sure there was a RN Sea Harrier available as a stand alone aircraft to add to my NA install without having to extract it from The Falklands mod. Any idea where it might be or is it a WIP?

Connery - Goldfinger (my favorite Bond in my favourite Bond movie. Ever) Lazenby - OHMSS (Agreed that it's very underrated. Just finished the book to which the movie sticks surprisingly closely. Also has the best ending of all the Bond movies. With the possible exception of Moonraker: Sir Frederick Gray, Minister of Defence: My God, what's Bond doing? Q: I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.) Roger Moore - Live and Let Die (although I do like the ski chase at the beginning of The Spy Who Loved Me) Pierce Brosnan - The World Is Not enough Daniel Craig - Casino Royale I've also got a soft spot for the David Niven/Woody Allen/Peter Sellers etc Casino Royale - a classic comedy way before Austin Powers was a twinkle in Mike Myers' eye. And if someone would re-do Never Say Never Again with a John Barry or David Arnold soundtrack and Shirley Bassey singing the title song I would be really grateful!

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!'
