check out the knowledge base for SF2 i would recommend a very nice thread on Converting older planes to work in SF2. if it was in Gen 1 it can be transferred to Gen 2. i also reccommend gettin Gunnys weapons pack for SF2. its saved me many a moment tryin to get the appropriate weapon converted over.

Recently added Snowy Norway to my SF2E install and after fixing a runway issue (again thank you wrench) noticed that they were pretty vacant. after trying advice to change the airfield.ini to xxxairfield_old.ini and tryin taking the said ini's out completly still no parked jets. however i got to thinkin about two things on the GermanyCE terrain. one generally the aircraft not in the arming pits are all some make of Vaark (choice of D, E, F, or EF-111). also i remembered a mission where i was flying a converted F-80 had bombed the runway and was havin lil fun strafing the mig-15s parked when two of them scrambled out of the arming pits and came up to chase me off! The question behind this post is what controls the parked aircraft in SF2? How does it determine what gets placed and whether the stationed aircraft take off or stay put? Have me a few ideas to play with but dont know where to look if if its even a good idea to mess with.

I have an idea for yous modder types
daddyairplanes replied to Caveman's topic in Mods/Skinning Discussion
As for the dedicated Weasel Viper they have it already its called the Block 52. Units flying that make of Viper spend the majority of their time training on SEAD with some training given to the other disciplines. Block 40/42 i believe are not HARM Targeting System compatable and focus primarily on precision strike. However even units flying the F-4G dedicated part of their training program to a2a even though the only time they were used in that capacity was escorting BUFFs on a strike against the Republican Guard late in Desert Storm. As for the RF-16 most proposals i've ever read about involved recon pods and maybe stripping down some gear to make it lighter and faster. At least the Isrealis if not others have converted some centerline tanks into recon pods. -
the chinese have done with the old mig-19 what the rest of the worlds done with the mig-21s..... upgrade the hell outta them

Runways in Snowy Norway
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Mods/Skinning Discussion
appreciate the response anson but neither changing airfield1-6 to 1-6_old, removing the airfield files from the terrain or removing the aircrafttarget.ini did the trick. thank you for responding so quickly tho -
Runways in Snowy Norway
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Mods/Skinning Discussion
first at wrench and derk ha ha ha ha at wrench your last idea there worked the snow blowers came out and i can see the runways now beforeand after thank you very much. however a new question how do i populate the airfields like in the stock GermanyCE terrian? where do i find this line and what do i need to change? as always i appreciate ya'lls help(and humor!) btw this sim kicks a$$ if no one mentioned it -
i downloaded the snowynorway terrain to my SF2E install and its great but for one prob......i have no runways! tower aircraft shelters and fuel trucks are there but nothing else. is the weather there that bad or am i missin something here?

blackbird are they fps killing ya after reducing the bmps to 1024? someone think it was FC not sure told me to do that on the hi res skins to get them to work. i feel your pain on fps tho. i cant use widesky or 4 seasons on my compaq laptop w/o gettin killed on it. but i havent had much issue with aircraft doing that esp after resizing.

how to take old SF 1 mods and use them in SF 2
daddyairplanes replied to xXmobius1Xx's topic in Mods/Skinning Discussion
should only need to copy your Gen 1 effects AB and sounds and paste them to your appropriate Gen 2 folder. not 100 percent sure on effects but ive transferred several birds from NF4 to SF2E with out much issue. -

Strange aircraft sightings
daddyairplanes replied to Falcon161's topic in Military and General Aviation
here at kandahar get all kinds of traffic. tornado gr4, harrier gr7 until the Marines took over IL-76, An-224, contractor Mi-8 and 26, a DC-8 visits regular. Had Rafales pairing up with Mirage 2000 for a bit there some Sea Kings(you Tommies need some new gear seriously), hogs, though the one that made my eyes bug out was the day i saw a DC-3/C-47. not the turboprop upgrade the original piston engine variety. EricJ put perfectly when he said cosmopolitan nature yes Dave once again i've even see a C-5 take off every so often. but the noise they make, it doesnt sound like they're too happy bout it. -
were police able to determine the caliber of biscuit used?

thanks migbuster that did the trick tho i notice it comes up as SF2 with germany ce terrian instead of SF2E. no worries though works for my purposes. yesterday i copied the exe and pasted it to my desktop before running. once again thanks!
-
Having read the SF2 KB on separate installs i copied the exe file moved it to my desktop. ran it all i got was a (what i named that install) folder in my saved games/.../ mods folder. having re-read it should i put an x after SF2E folder and its options.ini folder then install? got some tooling around i want to try and really dont wanna mess up my original install esp after getting my personal upgraded planes where i like em. like the title says think i have the answer but confirmation or redirection if im wrong would be apprreciated. thanks

Tragic F-16 crash kills Cpt. Asaf Ramon

tragic thing to happen to any family let alone the Ramon family -
So since NF4+ is on hold.....
daddyairplanes replied to daddyairplanes's topic in Mods/Skinning Discussion
you mean the fate of the modding world is up to me? a cook on an airbase in afghanistan? aww hell we're screwed then. heh heh just kidding ok well guess i'll keep working on convertin old to new and just leave TMFs goodies alone. if i can actually get it what i think is good enough for release will upload. thanks Dave -
ok so Dave has let us know that NF4+ is on hold(thank you sir btw). no prob s*** happens in real life we'll get over it. my question though....Many potential projects for upgrading those aircraft to GEN 2 standard have seemed on hold to await C5's release. The Mirage Factory is understood of limits but with the original creators permissions are the aircraft in those series's now up for upgrading? or would it still be better to hold on and wait? as for changing the campaigns it seems to me fairly easy to add the aircraft you desire (already tried out 81st TFS with EF-4C's before i had to reboot whole damn system) but i would be nice to have the variety out there for folks with less computer skills than me.(there are 4 or 5 in the world really)
-
has happened to me several times with weapons and aircraft skins. try checking that the bmp lod and info in the ini,s all match. might be as simple as a missed number or caps vs lower case.

think this keeps the intent of Daves original posted reason for the thread ps it was a Lima. he died so sad. heh heh heh
