me thinks it time to announce once again how to patch ones install's so stuff don't go fubar bigtime Mr. Wrench. personally i rename my mod folders with a x, delete out anythin that stayed stock(namely my isreali and USN aircraft) then after comparing newly patched Phantoms to MY Phantoms, i add it all back in. but i think you put all this out in the Knowledge Base before.....

correct on the NF4+. those three tho are not seperate releases tho there are several SU-27 variants (SU-33, what if Flamkers etc) in the air craft download section. you will have to download at least the whole orignal NF4+, if not the patches as well because of sounds, weapons, effects etc. if you have a strong system it is well worth it.

File Name: TMF E-3A Sentry for SF2 series File Submitter: daddyairplanes File Submitted: 13 July 2011 File Category: Other This is The Mirage Factory's E-3A Sentry packaged as an individual aircraft for SF2 series. Included is a NATO skin by AmokFloo, the original 552d Flagship skin, and skins representing each squadron that flies the Sentry. Also included are decals for all NATO assigned aircraft and the Core 23 aircraft purchased by the USAF in the 70's. This should add some airborne eye candy to your installs, particularly Europe and the Middle East. To install simply drop the folders into the correct areas of your mods folder. Thank you to The Mirage Factory, AmokFloo, Dave and several others for their work on this project. i hope you enjoy this mod, and lets see how can form their favorite fighter on the wing long enough for a screenie!

it will patch any install that is merged with where you apply the patch to.

is that gonna be block 25 and 30 Dave? they are lookin sweet though ya need the only England based Vipers in with your Aggressors... setting the waybay machine just a little the default skin startdate line in the textureset.ini just paid off...

the E-3A Sentry for SF2 in NF4+ has an issue: a tendency to pull to the right from brake release to the first 50-60 kts of airspeed. i believe this has to do with the engine for the rotodome but it corrects as you gain speed and mainly manifests on the ground. i was thinking of an engine rotating the opposite direction underneath but not linked to anything or something such. any suggestions on how to correct this?

thrust angle and roll radius are things eyeballed before on planes pulling one way or antoher but the ykeep doing it til airborne, this one straightens at a third of the way to rotation speed, leading me to believe forward momentm cancels it out eventually. i'll keep lookin for abit here.... after takin another look left and right sides match engines and landing gear, tried adding .1 on the engine thrust for both left side engines and still no joy. dont wanna goo to high that route and affect flight characteristics....

were you lookin for stock?

just be glad you dont have the Disney Channel.....

now we need moscow and nyc terrians for the tag end of FailSafe.......

umm not to sound like a douche here EricJ and Teras but dontcha guys keep a clean install to check things out in? that should tell ya if its system or game.....

Transitions....

you know its not exactly polite to discuss who/what you voted for. Confidential, Baby!!!

File Name: Post Vietnam USAF F-4 Phantom INI, Skins and Decal mod File Submitter: daddyairplanes File Submitted: 24 June 2011 File Updated: 16 January 2012 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Aircraft This is a simple mod for the stock TW USAF Phantoms. It uses new decal folders to allow tailcodes for most units that flew after 1973, four main paint schemes that were used between Vietnam and the Phantom's Phinal Phlights in the 90's, and ini edits to take advantage of some effects, sounds and new weapons loadouts. If you wish to know more, please read the readme it should explain most everything. Thank you to Sundowner(most of the skins), Malibu43 and Spillone104, Slartibartfast, Wrench, Dave, EricJ and a host of others. I hope that You enjoy built up in SF2V/E/I/EXP1 and 2, Windows Vista. Will need SF2E to make all Phantoms work. Now updated to Sep 2011 patch. Click here to download this file

A Brief Announcement... the primary change in the Jul 11 patch to the data ini for the F-4D_78 and E_78 are that the #1 Sparrow station max wieght value is now 300 to allow for the AN/ALQ-131. the value in mine is currently 290 but can be increased. This ECM pod was not commonly seen until the mid 80's and then on predominantly strike tasked Phantoms such as the 4th TFW or "Killer" E models operating with "Hunter" G Weasel models. i will update this in the near future as well as adding a few other tweeks. Again thank you to all who are enjoying this mod so far. [sparrowStation1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=6 StationGroupID=5 StationType=SEMI_RECESSED AttachmentPosition=-0.501,5.07,-0.84 AttachmentAngles=2.0,0.0,2.0 MissileRollAngle=45.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=300.0------------------------- change it to this from the original 290.0 if you would like to do it yourself! AllowedWeaponClass=SAHM,EP,LP AttachmentType=NATO,USAF MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition=

just so long as its not as a red shirt....

ok my usual sources of info are letting me down so i shoot this question to the crowd.... what were the squadron colors for the E-3 units? i have the colors offa the Flagship Skin from NF4 but dont know who had what color. I do also know that Elmendorf based ones were AK coded and Kadena based ZZ (tho both fall under the 522d at Tinker)but again dunno the color stripes. TIA for any help

thanks Storm!

but did she get the rabies shot?

question on them modified loadouts, will they show in the regular loadout screen or do you have to go to the mission editor to pick it?

as for skins i think it would be more a matter of decalling as i cant think of anyone that uses something other than original colors. well outside the isrealis and SC National Guard.

sweet! is it two weeks yet? however whatcha mean all six tailcodes the C used? didnt know A-16 came in a C flavor and the F-16C has 6 tailcodes at Balad alone

congrats on the retirement Dave! one more deployment and 3 1/2 and i'll be caught up with ya. @ firehawk i wore that to drill yesterday. course it was supposed to be a family day. instead we get told sunday morning that we are on order for med screening for two day on the first day of the orders! lets say half got the email sat at midnight and half did not. care to guess which half i was in? at least we got lunch with our families, before getting our shots. i never thought i would miss being in a signal battalion! back @ Dave now you can tell tales of how much worse you had it! you know how the bbq blew up and everyone including the wives had to get rabies shots at midnight etc etc etc

i friggin swear everytime i go to to drill a new patch comes out! sounds good tho, esp the nation specific loadouts. i'll hafta save me phantom mods and compare again in the morning. on a final note SF2 Tomcat will come out in September. its when my reserve unit mobilizes!!!!
