The FM is fine in SF2:I

Peeppu you've got to start hunting through the SF1 downloads... Here's an Israeli Dragon Rapide skin http://combatace.com/files/file/7674-idfaf-dragon-rapide-1948/ The aircraft is at the A Team site.

An Avro Shackleton would be nice for Cold War ASW, AEW and naval search missions.

The CatFile pointer has sorted the problem! Thanks so much.

My mind has gone blank and for the life of me I can't find the answer in the KB for either SF1 or SF2. I want to rename the IsraelME folder in my SF2 install as this is a detailed terrain and quite memory intensive so I also want the standard IsraelME terrain available for when I haven't got time to wait for the detailed terrain to load. I renamed the folder to IsraelMEDL and also have an IsraelMEDL.ini, and IsraelMEDL.HFD and IsraelMEDL.TFD but when I ran a mission to test the terrain all of the airfields have disappeared and I'm taking off from a discoloured grass field. What have I done wrong and how can I fix it?

I'm no expert and have never done it before, but like I said you could buy the Campaign Customizer or have a look in the Knowledgebase. http://combatace.com/topic/44798-adding-aircraft-to-campaigns-in-sf2/

But the OH-6A should be fine for flying in a 'Nam campaign though and you could add the AH-6F to a more modern campaign.

Have you considered buying the Campaign Customiser from the TW store? https://store.thirdwire.com/store_dlc.htm

You may have an older version. I just downloaded it again tonight. Look in Part1 and you will see a folder called 3_OptionalAircraft which is where you will see the B-17 amongst others.

The 48-56 Mod includes an optional aircraft folder with everything you need to use several of the DAT aircraft including the B-17 (skins, ini files etc) EXCEPT for the LOD files which you will have to download from the DAT site if you have access.

In the SF1 section: http://combatace.com/files/file/6442-idf-b-17g-1956/ http://combatace.com/files/file/6440-idf-b-17g-1948/ I think they are for the DAT models. In the SF2 section you also have the 48-56 Mod which includes an Israeli B-17 and skins: http://combatace.com/files/file/13757-48-56-exp-1-add-on-redux-part-1-of-2/ http://combatace.com/files/file/13756-48-56-exp-1-add-on-redux-part-2-of-2/

Very nice! Any thoughts on including a Euro1 camouflage option?

Sundowners recent excellent Alternative Falklands Terrains pack inspired me to dust off my SF2: South Atlantic install to try some post-1982 scenarios. We know that 1435 Flight is based at Mount Pleasant with 4 aircraft only, Phantoms, then Tornadoes and now Typhoons. What if the Argentines launched a bolt from the blue airstrike, looking to hit the airfield and other targets before Britain could deploy reinforcements from the UK? I'll be playing the missions in different years to see what happens using the different planes employed by 1435 Flight, and also from the Argentine side, upgrading their aircraft as appropriate. My basic scenario is a strike by 3 flights of 8 A-4s (or maybe 6 flights of 4 A-4s), with 2 flights of 2 A-4s to fly defence suppression, and two flights of 4 Mirages to fly top cover, either Escort or Fighter Sweep. My dilemma is how to deploy the RAF assets in the mission builder. I don't think that a flight of 4 is useful because they are all going to get tangled with the first flight they engage. So do I go for two flights of 2, or should I set each aircraft to operate independently and assign one flight to each inbound strike flight and hope they engage any other bandits with remaining missiles? And what would happen in a real life situation? Would the RAF jets be committed singly?

Not sure. Does Wrench mention anything in the readme? Here is a search in the downloads for 'Madagascar' which gives you quite a few campaigns and other downloads for SFP1 and for SF2. Have fun! http://combatace.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1

There's also this one: http://combatace.com/files/file/10948-east-africamadagascar-terrain-version-20-for-sfwo-and-sf2/

I did something similar for the S-3 Viking:

Is it me or does that cockpit look a lot like the Millenium Falcon!

S!

If you've got SF2:NA then you could conceivably use the old TMF F-14 model and edit the .ini file so that it uses the stock TW F14 cockpit and avionics etc.

Happy New Year guys! Hope it brings all that you want.

Just came out. It's good. Very good. You guys are in for a treat!

In Manchester it's raining. As usual.

Yes if you wait too long the others in your flight will start to take off from the carrier. My advice: take off straight away, or if you want to admire the outside views then either pause the game first or go to autopilot and your plane will take off while you have a look around.

Puma or Merlin?

Would love to see one in EL AL colours like in the novel 'By the Rivers of Babylon!'
