ok then. i'll still work on them for my own system and education til yours comes out.

shoulda went for the weeds.. er rocks. ANG and Marine Rhinos were often seen outrunning F-15s on the deck at Red Flag in the 80's. plus all incoming missles seem to have a hardre time connecting couple hundred feet off the deck.

i've been seeing that as i try my hand out on this. the F-16C Blks 50 and 52 have been giving me a conniption fit for a week now. worked on the FGR Mk2 last night and its coming along alot smoother. gotta add a threat library and edit off goofier weapons loads like AlphaJet gunpods and I think it will be up and running. tried the EF-4C though and all i could get was weapons flying in formation!

F12 didn't seem to do anything for me. the green letters turn red after 20 seconds, cycle two more messages then go away. also i still seem to have better perfoormance with it in the mod's flight folder than in the main. but then my mama told me this computer is the devil.

i remember reading a Thud pilot talking about A2A tactics up North if he's dumb enough to fly in front of you shoot otherwise run like hell

LGB's have very specific parameters for release. outside of that they are just expensive dumb bombs, esp. the early gens. also with Pave Tack your self designating and need to keep lasing the target until impact. if you break off or designate another target you'll have the round go dumb.

i coulda swore the readme said put both in the Flight folder. i experimented after reading this and it works better on mine with both there.

nope on the Phantom's guns. during Easter invasion of 1972 a F-4E was modified to carry a similar config. went out tank hunting with two suu-23s and 4 rockeyes inboard. Was named Chico though i don't remember tail num or unit. there's articles about it in Flight Journal from around Dec 04 and Combat Aircraft nov or Dec of 05. they didn't use it A2A though

ok thanks. J-79's workin fine on my system but then i swear all the metal in my laptop came from a 57 Chevy named Christine. as for the jets thread got it as a favorite right now. when internet is up i refer to it. frequently. thanks again

first off thanks to all the modders for the work you put into this site. i've been alot deeper into the system of SF2 than i ever was on WOE and am muddling my way up the learning curve. i appreciate the help from everyone whenever i have a question. and i'm even learning to check the knowledge base. two questions i have this time though are (1. is there a standard for .ini edits going from Gen1 to Gen2? and (2. is there any plans or protocol for moving said files from the SFP1 d/l section to the SFP2 section? i downloaded Spillone104's J-79 Exhaust Effects the other day plugged into effects folder and made the changes to the data.ini. no other work on my part and viola! better smoke trails for the double ugly. i thought the .ini edits that work could be moved possibly for the new folks and knuckleheaded ones like me.

Congrats!

check out the thread about invading Japan. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...amp;st=100& that may interest you. as for rest i think everyone is pretty busy right now bringing the older generation downloads up to SF2 standards.

pave tack was installed into F-111Fs in the factory (or depot?) permanantly. they did not carry weapons internally but used pave tack for external PGM's or for ranging on dumb bombs. that may be why it doesn't show on load out but i've been able to use LGB with the F.

sorry i don't care how good your digital imagery is or sensors are. the is no substitute for at least one pair of eyes on scene seeing whats going on. COL Computer sees a heat source moving 20 mph with some warm bodies and says terrorist...engage. a pilot or at least uav operator will stop see if it's maybe a white toyota with a mortar in it or maybe with a family in it. how many civilians have been killed in pakistan vs al queda and taliban? not sayin don't go after them just sayin PID is a b%^&@ 8000 miles away.

we do have a bunch of folks outside of Bragg with the signs on the roadside. i've stopped by a few to ask if they want anything to eat from the near by gas station or fast food joint. in Fayetteville alot are "homeless vets" with dirty pants and brand new Nikes. they always say no they'd rather have the money. but i've had a couple take me up on the offer of a meal. they had a strange mix of shame, almost fear and thanks on their faces as they got a meal in them. makes you bit more thankful for the good things in yer life however bad you think you have it.

Japanese fighters escorted larger flights of kamikazes so that US fighters didn't pick off to many before the target. would it be possible to list the suicide planes as ordinance and space them way off the wings? Noobish dumb question but if it works.....

It was expected to be a messy affair. over a million purple hearts were minted in expectation of the invasion. i believe they were using that batch all the way through the 80's before they had to mint some new ones.

maybe he could use his penis phone to call for help.(damn it what the spanish name of that again?)

yes mitsubishi does currently build jets and cars. but i believe they were still banned from building warplanes when that ad came out(prob. late 50's early 60's judging by photo and it's Draken subject). post wwII thats why they started making autos , kept their factories open.

can i get an M203 if i buy a hybrid?

having trouble with the newer mavericks in the add on planes in SF2E. they track just fine hit what i aim for within parameters but they don't show on the launch rails. even have rockets exhaust when they launch but no missle its self. stock planes and A and B model mav's work fine just the D and later model and those are all i seem to get on most non-stock birds.

thank you jomni for the advice. there was no mention of the LODs in most of the 65xx,ini.s so i made them using info from the knowledge base as my template. viola! mavericks aren't invisible anymore. thank to everyone who typed in on this and helped me out. now i can go back to muddling through learning decals.(yes i know that in the KB too, i'm a slow learner i'm afraid when it comes to computer issues.)

ok update while i'm on lunch break. loaded EricJ's files(thank you very much kind sir) flew on F-4E ARN and on A-10A the A-10 in year 2001 F-4 in last year avail 91. no 65D2 available in loadout of F-4 65D and 65G invisible. everything else works just no visible missle. on the A-10 65D thru 65H are available in loadout. only D2 and H showup. will reinstall F-16C (remove it temp. as i figure out what i'm soing with decals) tonight to see how things show up on that bird but expect same results as A-10. thank you for the help you guys have been giving so far.

i downloaded KillerBee's weapons pack for SF2. thought it was plug and play and didn't need work with the editor. also have bitmaps for all mavericks in question but i don't know if there should be something in ini.s pointing towards them. if there is i'm not seeing it.

mine is what my youngest daughters screamed everytime she saw one of the C-130's or -17s flying overhead from Pope AFB. of course she much more advanced now and says hello and goodbye to every he'copper flying over Bragg!
