Shotgun

What Eric said. but in the videos ive seen, theres plenty of air action as well. kind of like a mix of Harpoon (yup just told on myself) and DCS cinematics

appreciated, but the intent is to make videos with SF2 footage in them. either as coolage of screenshots or videos

congrats!

for those too young to remember, MTV means Music Television the rules: a video, with music and either a colage of SF2 screenshots OR video recorded from missions a first effort of something i've wanted to do for a while now now we wait for someone to do a Danger Zone video

Dont forget green....

a clean install means non modded each of those games and the 2 expansions have their own exe, and generates their own mod folder when played. so you can have specific installs. for example my SF2 install is mostly US based units and terrains, Europe has European based units, North Atlantic is a nautical themed install and so on. I keep my Israel install clean, only throwin things in when i am checking something. then i delete it all and leave it alone using a clean install, you can pinpoint issues better than if you have a million other mods in there

posting after skimming the topic, so bear with if i miss something you could try getting an Enterprise (theres a few in the internets, try YAP-RW models page) and running in a clean install in 1975 if that works, run single mission in your SF2V Expansion install if that works, edit the campaign to use the Enterprise you picked if your gonna do any modding for SF2, best to keep a clean install (exe) to check things in. clean it out everytime you are satisfied with what youre checking out of curiousty, how is your install? some games (like just SF2Europe and Vietnam), full 5 plus two (all five base games plus the two Thirdwire expansion packs) or the all in one (Thirdwire release from a couple of years ago that has everything TW released over the years for around 100 bucks)?

1. dont tease. someone will read that and take you seriously 2. i am trying to make a tank sim in UE5 for a class right now. only because i dont think i could get aircraft working by Nov 20th (the due date) but i think it has possibilities. esp using Vigilante's models as a start....

ya know, if you two were to start a Sea Power forum, im sure there'd be some interested parties around here

uh oh

well not too much a disservice from my point of view, but i would feel weird with an officer rank as a retired mess sergeant, weirder still with AF rank as retired Army plus AF dont have Warrant Officers, which would also fit modders well imho

i was thinking that at first. but officer ranks or enlisted? but for citizen67s suggestions, i suggest using Kelly Johnson for the modders. especially apt for cats like ravenclaw007 and simonmiller416 who are always finding new stuff in SF2, over a dozen years after the last official TW release

easiest way to tell would be to hide the nodes in the LODviewer and see how it looks. if theres a big hole left in the model then not so much. if you got a few wires or things, then you have a few extra parts to ini edit off. my money would be on it being an easy ini edit however ------- enroute to Dallas

all modders shall now be addressed as "my dope ass fresh prince"

We've been bombing cities every day and every night all over the U.S., only people never know it.

Wrench when someone asks if they know a moderator that can approve something me i just gotta hope he's on or pester him on FB

homework prep believe it or not.......

i feel ya but this is ravenclaw we're talking about. heaven has looser tolerances for perfection than he does.

i wish i could tell you. that missile is new enough to have alot of details kinda secret. and with the Secretary of Wine i mean War clamping down on who can talk to who, might be a minute for details that said, i didnt know the new HARM had retractable lugs. my suspicion, as a former support type soldier, is retractable. boost the orders to the company that makes em, and brings the price down buying in bulk. but thats just swag, not official info

switch, not so much. there are bunches of values tied to specific aircraft parts, which iirc might get name changed from one model to another. so straight copy paste doesnt usually work well modify, yes. especially singular aspects (takeoff speed, afterburner percentages). its done all the time as a modder decides this aircraft doesnt behave like they think it should. but again, its usually one or two FM aspects, not the whole thing modify entire thing reliably with intended results? well Harry, thems is dark arts that few here truly understand. its why many versions are kinda copy and pasted (F-16C Block 30, block 40, F-4E and G etc etc) but most people arent like me (or you it seems) and want a realistic pit (a major part of my mods is always the external appearance) its possible, but would take a lot of effort. the most advanced avionics get by default is 1970s, anything more advanced is done with workarounds

you gotta change the years in your option.ini for the instal, in any maps you use in that install. also if you plan on flying past 2020 you often times gotta change the data ini for the aircraft (alot of modders 10-15 years ago set end dates as 2020. who knew we'd still be modding and flying SF2 past then?) but the nice thing is you can make period or region specific installs, like say Balkans 1991 thru 2002

you never saw the stewardess on v2k's IL-76 did you?
