Just an update as i work through this have heard people are having problems with the four pack merge install. am redownloading SF2E from thirdwire and reinstalling SF2V. will see if it works ok wich it did before i tried installing SF2E. if anyone has better ideas please lemme know.

so who won?

merry christmas everyone. as the kids are settling down to their new games and the disney parade on tv i am pondering what to do with a prepaid credit card. i am thinking of makin a lil trip to the third wire store for another gen 2 game but which one? also i only have SF2E and am curious what issues ill have if i load SF2 or SF2V on my laptop. i appreiciate your input on this guys.

ok thanks once again

i appreciate it fubar. has the patch for SF2I fixed any issues with mods that have been encountered? shouldn't affect NF4+ as thats going on the family desktop when we get home but i have two installs of SF2E on my laptop one fairly vanilla with some mods on my Phantoms and one that i'm loading many 50's era jets on to try something different. just tryin to have as few hiccups as poss when i load a new series on.

i dont know the exact numbers involved but being listed as a new member you will have a low download limit. the more you post the higher your rank in the community will be and the more you can download. another route is to get a subscription if you can afford that i think its only 6 or 7 USD. i notice that youve been with us since 2004 but only have 11 posts. if thats not right you might wanna get with the admins to fix it. hope this help you out.

hey all that real life thing is a beast. shot home on emergency leave last week due to some bad ju ju on the home front. getting it worked on its better than it was two weeks ago. but with my unit due back in the very beginning of the year this means i am done with the middle east. dont expect to be on much over next few weeks while i help mama get better but whatever the circumstances it does feel good to be home.

thanks everyone and @nesher iraq one time afghanistan one time and kuwait in the summer 2 times (rather warm that time of year). nothing against your nieghborhood havent visited there yet

ok then if it would have brought some improvement cool but if not no worries thanks

even tho its for SF2I do you think itll work on a stand alone instal of SF2E?

what'll the commercials be? slim pickens holdin a bottle while wavin his cowboy hat? justa thought

i believe ships are treated in game as ground objects look that up in the Knowledge Base try applying it and should help you out

yes terrians work fine in 2nd gen sims. with a little tweaking you can make it act just like a stock terrain. remember to put it into a terrain file in your Mods folder (savedgames/thirdwire/strikefighters2/terrains). in your xxx.ini (snowynorway.ini for Snowy Norway example) make sure the line about catfile points to the cat file for the stock terrian of whatever sim you are running (desert, vietnam, GermanyCE) or the runways will not show up when you fly.

xclusiv8 how much FPS boost? with advance shaders and d3dx9_31.dll in my flight folder i get avg 12-15 graphics and 30-45 game. always on the lookout for more.

cant find anything on F-4F ICE having HUD as part of the upgrade tho. damn my sucko internet and library being at home!

yup DAVE hit it on the head for operational birds. F-4E Kurnass's were also fitted with a Kaiser HUD as part of their upgrade (for you guys with WOI)

depends on a couple of things. whats your settings on? and what terrian are you using? your stteings need to have most things on the ground on at least high i found for the parked birds to show tho they wont have unit markings if theyre not on unlimited.

shoulda showed the underside with the F-86 imposed on the F-104. its a sweet paint job as many Jadgeschwaders turn out on special occasions. for those that havent seen it yet you can see more in the Oct issue of Aircraft magazine

last one before bed...... i knew training was being cut with the shrinking budgets but thats ridiculous! gee and most of our humor here is takin away the guys clothes and towel while he;s in the shower or laughin at the guy who hits the bunker for OUTGOING fire. great pics guys.

is it the SoCal terrian? if so there is russian hardware all over the american southwest. had my base defended by zues23's and hawks and got lit up by an ADA 113 with vulcan 10 miles from homeplate. nice terrian but the hardware assignments and intensity of it are just crazy. and i downloaded it just to fly outta NAS Miramar!(i know what the marines call it now it'll always be Fightertown USA thank you!)

happy bday USMC

i'm waiting for campaigns til i get home and load NF4+ on my wifes HP touchscreen which is a lil more capable than my compaq laptop(hehehehehe) but flying single mission i have noticed that most of the add on birds are VERY twitchy on yaw. the jaguar and migs love to swing side to side after the slightest control inputs. also all birds start cutting to the left on takeoff causing me to correct until around 100 kts airspeed. thought it might be the controller at first but tried it on autopilot and same effect.

it does happen sometimes. i was converting the EF-4C from gen 1 to gen 2 back in july when a bug forced me to reset my computer. i lost all the work i had down on that as well as 3 other planes. on the bright side you should remember what you did roughly and build back up possibly better than before!

i appreciate it Widowmaker. and von Baur caught your post after this went up orig.

damn hell of a end for a show. i've seen two scenes of blackadder now(the first was in iraq, the scene where rowan atkinson explains the procedure for stepping on a mine) how long has this show run? where can i find it besides youtube? streaming video moves kinda slow in this part of the world. and finally please excuse my ignorance but what is today?
