Two more cores will definetely give you more power. But it's not only the CPU. It also depends your remaining hardware. I upgraded from a Intel Core2Duo E6750 (2 x 2.67GHz) to a Phenom X4 965 Black Edition. The effects were very noticeable. But nevertheless, if your graphics card is not very fast, the mere CPU upgrade will achieve only little success. My HD5770 is enough for my processor. The main problem I have is my HDD. My Samsung HD250HJ is only SATA-I, but upgrading to a SATA-III won't be of help, since my board only supports SATA-II. A CPU upgrade is always a good idea, but depending on the other components, especially their age, you'll have to take further hardware exchanges into consideration.

File Name: [Fictional] North American C-4 (P-51D) Cimarrón for SF2 File Submitter: ValAstur File Submitted: 29 July 2012 File Category: What If Hangar Fictional Mod of the stock P-51D modifying it to a former fighter plane from the spanish air force. YOU WILL NEED SF2:I with Exp.1 AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING! BACKGROUND After the end of WWII, Spain needed to build up an air force to protect itself from foreign aggressors. The spanish aircraft manufacturer Hispano Aviación, who possessed the license for the Messerschmitt Me-109, was forced to sell the license to the US or otherwise, among other reasons, Spain would have suffered from an embargo, which the country could have never survived. Since Spain was a former ally of Nazi Germany, the US was interested in all kinds of technology Spain gathered from the Third Reich. Spain, as a kind of compensation, received former planes from the USAF stationed in Germany. Among them were 48 P-51D Mustangs. The planes arrived by train, most of them in rather bad condition. Most of the planes got repaired, but 10 of them had to be scrapped, taking out still usable parts, and 14 more were stored as replacements for potential losses. 24 entered service in the Ala 7 and did service from 1948 until 1955. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes. CREDITS Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they have. Big thanks to Atila from the virtual squadron "Ala 7" for the permission to use their badge as squadron badge. Kindest regards ValAstur Click here to download this file

Looking great. You were faster than me! I was also thinking of creating this bird. Do you have a IAF desert camo planned?

After the entering of service of the Apache Block III, the AH-64D Longbow Apache got more and more replaced. Several hundred of AH-64D were to be sold to another country or scrapped. Spain wanted to acquire some of the Longbows in order to add some firepower to the spanish fleet, especially to the aircraft carrier "Principe de Asturias" and the new amphibian attack ship, the L61 "Juan Carlos I". Two full squadrons wer purchased. One, the newly founded 7th Attack Squadron, was stationed on the Juan Carlos I while the second was stationed on the Principe de Asturias replacing a squadron of Seahawks.

File Name: McDonnell Douglas C-12 (F-4C) for SF2 File Submitter: ValAstur File Submitted: 14 July 2012 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Aircraft Mod of the stock F-4C modifying it to a former fighter plane from the spanish air force.

Rafale C of the Royal Moroccan Air Force The camo is derived from the camo the actual Vipers of the moroccan air force are wearing.

El C-12 está ya listo. No es la versión final porque aún necesito saber el armamento exacto y los números de serie correctos con respeto a los números de escuadrón. Aquí unas imágenes:

Same here... My two tone blue version of the F-22J

Ich glaube, ehrlich gesagt, dass es ein wenig von allem ist. Viele haben das Interesse an den Spielen verloren, hauptsächlich wegen der zum Teil katastrophaler Patches und dem vermurksten NA. Letzteres kann ich nur vermuten. Nachdem ich hier die Kommentare einiger Leute gesehen habe, habe ich es mir gar nicht erst gekauft. Bei anderen wird vielleicht auch Real Life® zugeschlagen haben... Änderung der Interessen, der Prioritäten etc. RL kann schon ätzend sein. Ich selber bin auch nicht mehr so motiviert, aus den oben genannten Gründen. Aber manchmal hab ich so Geistesblitze und dann mache ich einfach. Allerdings ist das mittlerweile eher seltener der Fall.

Or how about this one: In a nice dark grey or digital camo with added TOWs or Hellfires...it would look pretty cool. The movie was cool, the series was bad. Didn't like it.

This is what I would call a beast In my opinion, this is the best looking fake russian chopper

Hmm...that would definetely be an interesting what-if. Also the "Hind" from the Rambo movies would be interesting to have.

Does anybody, by chance, have a template for the F-22 Raptor lying around somewhere on his or hers harddisk?

That would be great mate! Thanks in advance! @EricJ I did not start doing it, since I must admit that I'm pretty unskilled in things like that.

Muchas gracias por tu ayuda. Ahora sólo necesito un skin sin linea roja. Los skins básicos del F-4C del juego llevan una línea roja en la parte trasera del fuselaje. Voy a echarle una miradita a ver si encuentro uno sin la línea.
