Stratos

I'm amazed!! Well done guys!

I tried and it works. AI missiles when using "MissileInFlightFlareEffect" effect are far more visible than before. Keep testing.

I will check it once at home, not worried about the control method as I expected to be IR anyway, but more on the effect of the flares, If they are clearly visible, and If they can be seen by the player If a enemy AI launches one against the player cause AFAIK there's no way to padlock enemy missile in SF2. Thinking in Luftwaffe 1946 here with P-51D or H campaign against Luftwaffe fighters armed with the X-4.

I've found this entry in the AZON bomb... SustainerEffectName=MissileInFlightFlareEffect The X-4 entry for this is empty. Should I use that? Is that an standard effect?

It's a nice update, I like how it looks.

Can we have lights or flares attached to a Air to Air missile? I'm thinking in early missiles like the german X-4.

Very interesting conversation, sorry for rescuing from the depths, but I'm curious. Should the plane tell the pilot that the missile is on HOJ mode? I think I saw it on the DCS F-15, but not sure is on SF2.

Este avión, cual es?

Wish it was so easy, but for that we would need to hack the exe, and will be a lot easier If we have the source code. AFAIK no one knows how to hack the exe.

Is there a way. But not in my hands.

Very nice model!

Please keep them coming! PRetty interesting in this program.

Have found the damn pic, it was the Forrestal, not that small as I tought at first sight, but as you said, smaller than the super carriers. Found the pics of the Tomcat on the Midway, but it seems those carriers were too small to use the Tomcat with combat fuel and weapons. Thanks for the help and links guys, were very helpful!!

Looks really cool!

The details you're putting on this plane is just unveliable! Really looking forward to fight on it!

I've seen a pic I cannot encounter anymore of a Us carrier full of Tomcats and Hornets, I cannot indetify the carrier but it looked small to me, so my question is, which carriers classes operated both Tomcats and Hornets at the same time? Wondering If I can find the damn photo again!

What is this beast Blackbird? Man can't wait to try this birds in combat, Afghanistan and Iran-Iraq will be a lot of fun with them.

I've noticed the high speed problems while flying the MiG-25, caught fire once. Not sure about high-G factor, will have to try once my plane is damaged by enemy fire. Is a pity we cannot have compressor stalls, would be a nice feature getting the higher temps, having to throttle back, or restart the engine..., same for certain engine flameouts, a real pity, wish TK still work on such aspects of the game. Regarding the weapons, is there any place that explains this entries? I tried in knowledge base without luck. Is possible to simulate dud bombs? Accuracy=80 LockonChance=85 LaunchReliability=80 NoiseRejection=80.000000 CapabilityFlags=0x00400008 EODisplayFlags=0 CEP=10.000000 Thanks! I was refering to period during the revolution and 1981, where many of the technician and flying crews were imprisoned, and mantenaince errors were relatively common, read several times think like radars getting down, refuelling probes not taking fuel, bombs unarmed by ground crews... I know everything imrpoved later, have the war book by Tom Cooper and the Osprey ones. Is in fact a overlooked war I think, but one can learn a lot of the missions fought by both sides.

He's safe and sound, talking with him trough phone everyday just to be sure.

Been reading a lot of Iranian use of Tigers, Phantoms (both D and E) and Tomcats during the war with Iraq during the 80's, and I learned the number of failed attacks caused by failures in the airplanes, there are avionics failures like radars refusing to work, mechanical problems like broken refueling probes or exploding engines or even weapon problems, AIM-54's that once launched convert themselves into a very expensive dumb bomb dropping like a stone to the ground, failing to explode bombs, etc... I know post iranian revolution planes were poor mantained and not comparable to USN birds, but some failures can be experimented in Us birds too, after all they have spare during combat missions for the case of malfunctions. My question is, is possible to have random failures during the game? avionics, mechanical, weapons... that would add a lot of fun to the engagements, stalling engines, dropping missiles, dud bombs...

Ok, he will be back asap, and work on the canuck, remember he's finishing the new soviet carrier for the cocas project.

Kevin, Angel is without internet connection ATM, remember Venezuela is a bit on turmoil right now. Will contact him trough phone and pass your note to him.

Thanks for all the work guys! Cannot wait to try the new planes, specially the Iraqi ones!
