Hi, I have a merged install with the Angola map. I noticed the Mirage IIICZ in the SAAF pack requires the stock Mirage 3CZ downloadable aircraft. However, does anyone know if the 3C from SF2I is compatible with the 3CZ skin?

I just did a single intercept mission for Angola. The enemy aircraft in the briefing indicated they were Mirage IIIs bombing. However, after the game launched, I was the only Mirage flying around next to my wingman. No bandits, nothing. I went into the nations INI file and confirmed only Angola was the enemy nation. However, multiple aircraft in that area Angola would fly were marked exported with a start and end year within the parameters of the game. What's going on?

I went into nations INI and eliminated the Start Date for Angola. Now I have MIG-15s with China decals, yet I have a MIG-17F with Angolan camo the game doesn't want to recognize. Next questions: 1) How do you force the game to use an aircraft that is exportable, and has a dedicated nation camo? 2) My Nations INI file is in the Flight folder within the mod folders. Is this correct? 3) Why is China and Russia showing in Angola when the Angola Nations INI terrain file does not show them as enemies? Angola Terrain file shows limited nations as below: LimitedNations=TRUE

Hello, I reinstalled FastCargo's F-35s last night and noticed that all variants have a clipping issue involving the canopy frame. The frame will either flicker, or completely be missing altogether. I suspect it's a POV and rendering issue that may need to be adjusted. Any ideas where to look? Similarly, I have the same issue with airfields in the Libya map.

Hello, I receive an occasional black screen on loading that occurs 70% in. I've researched the forums and the cause was related to another version of Nvidia drivers. The random black screen leaves me confused as to where to start. Any help would be appreciated. As an FYI - this is a full merged install with an effects update downloaded from the mods section. Thanks!

This is a 2 part issue and now it's resolved. The graphics settings indicated it was running off the Intel GPU. I corrected this and now it's running off my Nvidia. You can tell it is way smoother now too! The J-31 I installed was causing the game to go black screen. Moving the folder out of the mod folder and excluding it also resolved the black screen in 21st century single missions. That is weird.

Last mod I dropped in was the Indian ocean campaign and a China J-31. May back those out and see what happens.

The update didn't work

This is the first time I have run SF2 on a laptop. It's a Lenovo Y700. Was a great gaming laptop back in 2016....

Sorry if this thread triggered some discord. I didn't know this was pirated until I received a PM about it. If necessary, I will request closure of this thread by moderator.

Hey Eric, I just got the GeForce Experience app to work. I'm updating to driver 511.23 as I type this. Is this the driver you are on too?

Fixed. Caused by crappy NVidia video card on my gaming laptop. Reducing graphics down to High from Unlimited fixed it.

It's been a while since I posted on here. I dusted off SF2 recently and did a merged install with SF2V, SF2E, and SF2I. When starting a single mission in the North Atlantic, my game crashes to desktop after the loading screen. I can catch a split second of my Tomcat sitting on the cat before the game dumps back to my Windows 10 desktop. I cannot resolve this so I need a little bit of help on where to look. Thanks for reading!

Hi, I seem to experience a crash to desktop and even a hard freeze when switching to ground map radar. I think I am missing something here in the file hierarchy. Anyone experience this?

I have noticed this for a while after installing SF2NA and a host of planes are terrains. When selecting CAP and light enemy air activity, I fly a very uneventful mission with no bandits at all in the terrains. Set it to Normal and there are 6-10 enemy aircraft. I remember in SF1 light enemy air activity gave me anywhere between 2-4 aircraft. Are there any settings I need to change in SF2's ini files to correct the lack of enemies when activity is set to light?

I tried playing with the MISSIONCONTROL.INI file and pilot counts in there, assuming that might fix it. No success. There has to be some aircraft limit number causing this.

What would cause a BVR missile to fly parallel to its target? Does it have to do with the seekergimblelimit or seekerFOV?

Gepard, I did another CAP with my F-14D and launched 4 AIM-54Cs. All Phoenix missiles hit and none ran parallel. It seems to happen only if the targets are further than 75 miles away and I am flying perpendicular to their flight pattern (e.g. I am heading 000 and enemies heading 090). I also did not edit the seeker FOV or gimble limits.

Hi, looks like my Super Tomcats I downloaded do not properly trap on carrier landings. Yes, I have the hook down. The suckers just don't want to grab a cable. I can land a stock F-14A from SF2NA after a couple scotches on the rocks and still trap. So it is not the pilot. Anyone have trap issues with any other downloaded aircraft?

I used the TW length and it traps no problem now. I will just keep it that way. Thank you for your support.

MIG-29 is the target. BVR shot at 85 miles.

Image of what I am talking about. Here are the seeker settings of this Phoenix. SeekerFOV=60.000000 SeekerGimbleLimit=60.000000 SeekerTrackRate=60.000000

I am flying the 96 F-14D. 06 does it too

Pfunk, I. Not sure what negative RCS and Heat Signature values do but I ran completely out of ordnance and ammo in a 2 v 12 interception of bombers plus escort never being fired upon by missiles. My wingman was flying around like he was Dory from Finding Nemo
