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

Indian navy in talks for E-2d hawkeye
daddyairplanes replied to dsawan's topic in Military and General Aviation
its not all that dumb. common sense and physics: the higher you are the farther you can see. the kamov may work but helos wont go as high as fixed wing can for as long or as far from the carrier. be interesting though hawkeyes co-ordinating migs vs paki vipers? or even droppin in for a little friendly visit on us super bugs both sides directed by hawkeyes? hmmmm -
Also with the ARN-101 F-4Es, the 3d TFW was the only unit certified to use the Pave Tack targeting pods. I know that they used it during on of the Gunsmoke competitions in the 80's and achieved better scores than other Phantom units although still not enough to beat out the Viper units. i do not know if they carried Pave Tack in ODS but do know that crews often didn't like carrying it. why can be answered by the Phantom drivers nickname for the system...Pave Drag.

to both of you guys thanks for the assist @kowalski gotcha on the programs is there a good site to find them on? always have bad luck googling for software so tryin to get a reliable site to get the software from. i know that there is a thread on the fake pilot method in the KB i just need to know what tools(program) i need to use the the technique. but know i know and knowing is....ah you get it. finally as for the loadout i know i could just manually not load it. but not every is a phantom phanatic and knows that the C model weasel didn't have the room for the wiring for the standard arm. it could physically carry it but it would have been an expensive dumb bomb. just tryin fer some accuracy. @wrench appreciate the heads up on the file on your site think i saw it some time ago. this has been my fun little intro to modding and i'm a good ways there with it. like i said i used the stock F-4C_67 as it had some lump bumps and antennea i need already over the F-4C. Ive then been addin relevant parts of the Gen 1 ini to my Gen 2 bird. had it full up but for the skins couple of weeks ago then my comp froze up and i had to reboot. damn my lack of an external hd! anyhow just about got it done gotta redo daves checklist for upgrading again. probably could release for SF2V but im more of a Germany guy so tryin to get it set for 81st TFS not just 67th. again thanks guys um o/t question just switched from dark scheme to usaf scheme for the site noticed the rank on my member info. could you guys tell this soldier what rank that is? i always get confused with air force and navy enlisted ranks.

My that's a big bird
daddyairplanes replied to serverandenforcer's topic in Military and General Aviation
they are a little bigger than a C-5 typical russian mentality see em now and again here at the airfield along with IL-76s that NATO charters. and they make the same sick whale whine when they take off as a Galaxy. now if i could just get on one outbound......
