Yeah you get all the info and all. You can also register. But you can't watch the shows online.

Regarding HBO.com Only serves the US I think. I tried and it says not available in my region. I'll wait for the DVD.

Skyspot Test On the attack Oh it goes Boom!

Some have asked the question on what is Skyspot and why it doesn't have a lod in the weapons pack. Made some search and this is what I got: http://combat-skyspo...pod.com/CSS.htm http://testvector.com/SkySpot.html So it's not a bomb but ground radar tracking system used for testing and scoring pilot bomb release accuracy. This explains why there's no lod file. The only difference is that these virtual bombs explode and do damage. Intersetingly they used the system for real bombing as well by reversing the process. The radar tracks the location of the bomber and will send a signal on when it is best to drop the bomb. This is called Combat Skyspot (Usually used on B-52s)

Sorry to hear. Losing mods is getting quite common in the community lately.

there is an error in the weapons ini. http://forum.combatace.com/topic/44754-sf2-series-brimstone-3-pack-fix/

SF2 has a longer view distance than battlefield for sure. Anyway, the difference in performance comes from the way they're coded. Battlefield is a more efficiently coded mainstream game which concentrates on graphics more than gameplay. SF series is done on a limited budget by a small team and focuses more on the simulation aspects.

Lower your graphics settings. :D

Just making sure: Is this SF2 series? Have you already inserted the shader lines in the ini file of the WP effect? http://forum.combata...effects-in-sf2/

No worries. Just trying to help. So is it working now.

Didn't I tell you that before? I thought you did it already.

Oh well. :( I guess you can point to a custom folder using the options.ini (the one you showed earlier) but it should reside in original Strike Fighters Vietnam mod folder. Then switch it when you need to point it to something else. It's still a manual workaround though, not seamless. That's why I only keep one version.

Basically you can't downgrade your version. NF4+ from the downloads section will work with later patches. Just have to see if it need tweaking (Hud, effects, textures).

Rename one of your .exe's (the one with the May patch) from "StrikeFighters2 Vietnam" to "StrikeFighters2 Vietnam May2009b". Run to create the mod folders based on the name of the .exe. Then dump your mod files to the respective folders. Keep the standard StrikeFighters2 Vietnam install for constant updating to latest standards. Did this strategy before with NF4+ but I find it too annoying. So I just converted NF4+ to be compatible with latest patches. Didn't have problem with trees in NF4.

Yeah. If only the plane was controlled by the AI and you just concentrate on detecting threats and doing fire solutions, then a rear seat would be useful. But SF is a light sim and the fact that it takes a few buttons to acquire a firing solution (instead of a whole series of knob and MFD switching), it simulates a backseat Weapons Officer helping you out.

I think burn notice is a spy thriller(?).

I've been following this for some time already. But it's going to be a commercial release right? And now you're saying the old site (www.seven-g.com) is now bogus. Interesting.

I already converted my NF4+ to Feb2010 standards, fixed a few missing cockpit textures as well. But I don't think I'm in the position to submit to this forums as: 1) I am not the original modder 2) I'm an amature so the work is quite messy and not up to standards. 3) Not completely tested. Not completely fixed as there might be some bugs carried over from the older versions. Anyway as mentioned before, fixing is not too hard. You can do it in an evening or two. What I did is to fix all the Effects and fiddle with the avionics.ini of the planes for the huds.

Not so bad. But I play MW2 more than this.

Actually NF4 still needs some converting to make it applicable to the latest patch.

I used like gunship but I find all the mission impossible to win unlike Enemy Engaged. Maybe it's just my inexperience.

It wouldn't have made any impression on me if I picked up that flyer. Dunno who Burl Ives is until now.

You're going to end up bombing Vietnam most of the time anyway expecially when the MiG squadrons are decimated.

I don't know about the old series. But Series 2 Thirdwire sims can point to a different "mod" folder. There's some setting in options.ini. I doubt that there's something similar for Series 1.
