This is a furball mission between 8 P-51D Mustangs to 8 Egyptian Spits taking place on 1948 war of independence. For the challenge purpose, I've changed the training level of the Egyptian pilots to experts. You need SF2I with exp1 to fly the mission. Please set the simulation difficulty for hard before starting the mission (HUD only can be set to normal). Try to survive the furball, and report how many kills. To install copy/paste this mission into the missions folder on the mod directory. P-51D Mustang vs spit.rar

Hi Ziker, Look here: http://forum.combata..._1entry402538 It is most probably mid-air without visible damage.

Thanks

Is SF2 may 2010, with the stock P-51D (flyable) and the spit, is a suitable platform for WWII air wars?

Maybe the Suez Crisis Exp can Change the odds. BTW I didn't know that multiple votes are allowed. Some people have voted for all choices.

The Spit can cut the throttle and break pulling maximum G, letting the P-51 to overshoot (less drag for the P-51, even with the same Merlin engine). In slow speed now, the spit turns within the turning radius of the P-51. It is suicidal for the Spit to keep turning at top speed.

Until someone will update or create a specific cockpit for the new stock Mig-15 for Suez-Crisis, I'm using the cockpit of Mig-17 by Wrench and Ordway (without the avionics), for this purpose. Eearly Mig cockpits can be downloaded here: http://forum.combata...repair-package/

The sounds are within SOUNDLIST.ini and in each _DATA.ini Same problem for all aircraft.

I've done same thing by adding flaps.wav and airbrakes.wav into sounds folder, but without results. Still, no flaps or airbrakes noise.

This was the ancient prototype of the first Soviet IR missiles IIRC. BTW Did somebody have noticed any significant speed reduction in self or enemy crippled airplane (without engine flame-out of course)?

I've experienced significantly less freeze events, after updating my graphic card driver. So far only 1:6 missions freeze after hitting the esc key (1:1 before). Maybe this is a part of the solution.

I've shoot and crippled a Mig-17F, flying a Meteor. For my surprise the smoking Mig had escaped for home like nothing happened flying 0.9 mach. Dose the damage modeling is calculated into the AI in sf2?

I guessed so, by the two latest releases by TW. By this he is cutting the tree... I hope TK will have conclusions from this, and save us the bugs in the future.

Since the Mar2010 patch and now with the new Suez Crisis, looks like TW lacks good beta testers. I'm sure some of the veterans modders here in CA, could help TK in order to prevent such bugs.

Thanks, got it.

What about air brakes and flaps sound in all airplanes? I don't hear them.

Where is the long thread from yesterday?

It's a stand-alone SF2:I. Previously I had merged install, but after the mar 2010 patch multibug problem, I've reinstalled SF2I as a stand alone with Feb 2010 update, without deleting the merged install. Maybe the coexistence of both versions on my disk is the cause of this behavior. Good job - looking forward for the cities update.

I've found the solution myself, copying the new IsraelME folder into the core directory of SF2I, instead of into the mod directory. Should be located in Strike fighters 2 Israel\terrains along side with the original IsraelME.cat file. Thats worked for me, don't sure about others.

I did follow the installation instructions, but my SF2I keep using the original IsraelME terrain, ignoring the new mod. I'm using Windows 7 machine X64.

This is a video clip from the first day of the six days war. The attack on Egyptian air bases.

Seems like SF2 Europe takes the lead so far. I've voted for SF2I not only due to local loyalty, but also for the historical accuracy, and the even matched air forces (except Lebanon war). My second choice is SF2V. The fictional campaigns are not my favorites.

Just wondering. Which SF2 series game is the best game and why? Sorry, first gen players. guyran

It is only a basic text editing job, of the *.ini campaign's files, to merge between the original Expansion Pack campaigns files with my Red Alert files. According to the freeware licensing agreement, every one can do it. guyran
