As im editing Piecemeals updated stock campaigns for the Desert3 terrain, ive ran into some problems/questions... Ive changed the burning sands campaign to start in 1953, everything good so far...then i wanted to make a copy of this campaign where the Mercs fly for Paran, pretty easy one might think...just change airplane, forceid and base entries, but when i tested it, i end up on another airfield and more severe my unit isnt seen as a merc unit at all anymore, no funds are shown, you dont earn anything, exactly like you fly for a Nation?!? Here copies of the *ini entries for my merc unit: [MercUnit001] UnitName=1st Special Ops Wing ForceID=2 UnitID=8 StartDate=01/01/1953 DescFile=MercDesc.txt StartText=Campaign1StartMerc.txt AircraftType=Mig-15bis [AirUnit008] AircraftType=Mig-15bis UnitName=1st Special Operations Wing ForceID=2 Nation=MERC MercenaryUnit=TRUE PlayerOnly=TRUE StartingFunds=25000 DefaultTexture=Parani1 BaseArea=P4 Airfield RandomChance=100 MissionRate=1.0 MaxAircraft=16 StartAircraft=8 MaxPilots=16 StartPilots=16 Experience=100 Morale=100 Supply=60 MissionChance[sWEEP]=90 MissionChance[CAP]=90 MissionChance[iNTERCEPT]=90 MissionChance[ESCORT]=90 MissionChance=90 MissionChance[CAS]=90 MissionChance[sEAD]=90 MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=90 MissionChance[ANTI_SHIP]=90 MissionChance[RECON]=90 UpgradeType=ANY Im really at a loss here, and i begin to believe you cannot fly as a merc for any enemy force at all??? Maybe its a problem with the desert3 terrain? 2 weeks ago i did the same thing with stock desert terrain and there it worked?! Regards, Horus

Hmm i didnt know its implemented in SF2NA, will give it a try later this evening...i tried to make a new entry in nations.ini as merc2 nation, but to no avail!

Ah well, didnt thought about that....i guess i need to make another merc-nation then, because my plan was to be able to fly as merc for both sides! Thx Hans!

I maybe will give it a try to make me some simple templates myself for the Fishpots...thing is, im good at using templates, not making them, i would be fully satisfied if i could just separate the rivets/panellines from the rest of a skin...or i may harass a friend to explain it to me finally :P OK back to editing some badgers Camo skins for Paran usage and put em in a campaign :)

Im a big fan of your work, and this IS one of the coolest so far! Btw some weeks ago i discovered theres a "new" SF release which i missed totally, i remembered i had lots of Fun with SF in the past, so i bought all the SF2 titles...nothing special so far but the first skin i downloaded here was from you (Jordanian Hunter) and i was REALLY surprised to read my name in the credits, i totally forgot i made this killmarksmods back then and uploaded it here! xD

Yeah you right, Tuesday is day of truth for Italy/France, my fault... anyway, im going to watch Turks vs Czech now

Hmm i have the same problem downloading the normal NorwayTerrain...and im not using any download managers, just pure firefox?! Just to let u know... EDIT: im having probs d/l-ing the standard norwayterrain not the snowy one, sry about that Regards, Horus

Well, cant await 2morrow....i hope germany vs austria 3:0!! Those austrians now think its easy to beat us, after having that incredible lucky foul vs poland!! Well, the polish goal wasnt a goal, but they deserved it, cause i like the team... The game poland vs croatia will be very interesting too, cause i like the croats same as the polish team... Funny thing is, Italy is totally declassified!!! Today we will see how Italy plays vs France, i hope france will take bloody revenge for World championship!! So long, Horus

Wow very nice plane, never heard of it before!!! I would also appreciate some other of those planes on the frontpage of the book posted by LexxLuthor!! btw, there are still some very nice and cool soviet planes to do hehe...like the Su-24 or Su-24TM/Su-39 prototype Keep on the good work, Horus

Like the title says, i have some questions/problems... Im new to SF modding but ive learned much the last days, but i havent found everything in the knowledge base...btw that part of the forum is just awesome, great work all of you!! 1. I redone my WoI installation (lost the overlook, too much wild unplanned modding) and dont have migtrack/lock and rwrl sounds anymore.....files are were there supposed to be, and even tried to change the filename in the planedata.ini file(section [Radar] or [Detection])no result... dunno exact atm im visiting a friend right now, will add specifc details in 2-3 hours when im at home 2. Im using bunyaps wep pack and my MiG-21MF cant load SAHM missiles anymore....im a native WW2 pilot, maybe its historical correkt that way, but i used the Mirage Factory wep pack before and Mig21MF could load Atoll SAHM (B or C?!?) missiles there, and i absolutely dont know why?!? In the MiG-21MFdata.ini nothing changed, the inner pylons should be able to carry SAHM, maybe its dependant on the type of Radar? I compared it with the first available mig23, and same AttachmentWeaponType=(correkt?!?!...again, details later) column! I even made all the SAHM missiles available for export if they werent... I really miss that, was my only real chance to fight those damn Phantoms on a relatively save distance... 3. Cant remember right now! Thanks in forward and best regards, Horus

The Aces series from dynamix were my first sims and an Apache heli sim(on 1-2 1.44mb disks iirc), later i got strike commander and the first comanche sim to run on my damn 486...played EAW later on some friends pcs...cause at that time 486 were already DEAD but still had some Aces sessions at that time... After my army duty+6 extra month duty i was able to buy my first "real" pc...read a article about the very first IL-2 game in a mag at that time, but for some reason ive started playing it 2 years later...iirc MechWarrior4 online was the reason hehe Cause IL-2 sucks in single player mode ive joined a JG, flew ther for 2-4 years then got sick off UBI/IL-2 community/ Maddox fanboys/UFO-La`s....man i still get angry when i hear statements like .50 cl/P-51 won the war... But had a real good time....still remember a coop mission i flew with my comrades, 4 emils each a single sc250....approached the target after 30-45mins dropped our load, and arrived at home base without a single enemy encounter...but we held formation more or less the whole time, covered each others etc... Its my very best online exp imo I remember that ive borrowed SFP1 from a friend some years ago...dunno why, but i wasnt convinced...maybe that it wasnt WW2 related 2 weeks ago i discoverd WoI...and i guess ill stay here for some time!

Opposite to the fact that im a 3rdWire Sims n00b, heres what i have to offer... Well did some minor skinning in the good ol Il-2 days, and wanted to have proper killmarks for the Arab nations, thx @ Johann217 for his inspiring WoI stock campaigns Exp!! I Cat extracted and resized a stock WoI Israeli insignia for creating the tgas Im nearly finished on this thingy at least for the 21`s and up to 150 visible killmarks , but i will do this mod for all migs so Everyone sees on your plane that you rule!! Well have to test some tgas ingame, there look OK in the Gimp but odd in my secondary image viewer... Got to go to work now, just wanted your opinion on that idea, will post screens & release later this day so u all can test it...btw do i need webspace to post screens here? Thx goes to 3rdWire,TK, USAHMTL and the rest of you all for all those cool cockpits, Addon Planes, Skins etc.... Regards, Horus

Thanks again for the PM mate! Well, i have to play around in the inis, shoulndt be any problem at least for the mig21...do you have similar info about other migs? Only problem is, i dont have much time now hehe...could do it on the weekend, but i will FINALLY purchase my new MTB saturday!

Actually i really dont know if WarPac pilots marked their kills at all... I would like to see that colour plate, but dont have any publications about modern warfare!

That are good news, cause i really enjoyed your campaigns! I can wait, didnt not have much time myself...most time im modding now, cause i have some major probs running ANY game......i ALWAYS CTD, and some really weird bluescreens... Have do redo my system completely, but i fear its hardware related....

Very basic modell, but its a FW189 Uhu for sure...

Well its done...took me more time ive guessed and just got 50% or so of the planes ive wanted to include! Im finished for 2day (04:00 am)...depending on A/C, the work goes fast, but i will have to take a much more closer look on mig27/29 and Su-27....other SUs will go quick i guess! Didnt found a single minute to practise on my MiG 2day To be downloaded here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6494

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...si&img=5674 nice read Foxen...due to that ive done the screenshots on an Syrian MiG-21! Let me know what you think of it so far...im nearly rdy for uploading, i "just" have to find the proper position for the rest of the Arab flyable planes and finished the ReadMe(btw, my first one)! Gimme an hour or two to finish this up! Well, thinking about further projects.....there isnt a killmarks for those brave Soviet/VNAF pilots, right? Im thinking of altering/tuning some further stock tgas....i have literally THOUSANDS of images to choose from, but first of all ill change the Arab black numbering decals to white, cause there arent much visible on most Camo skins....maybe ill do a major mod for improving the stock skins/decals! Later, Horus

Thx for the quick answer, and yes i am patched up...its a reflex from my Il-2 days Hmmm, but i guess i will wait for a post patch version of the campaigns then...anyways, im still learning to fly planes w/o props

I have a little problem with all 3 campaign of yours....but thats maybe that i am new to 3rdwire sims! When i want to fly the first missions of either the WftW/Attrition/GS campaigns, after the mission is loaded i only see blue sky instead of sitting in my cockpit?! Thanks in forward and best regards, Horus
