  1. Hello

    I stayed away from SF2 for a couple of years because of the whole Nvidia driver thing. Meanwhile I slowly got back to simming, mainly in DCS now, but I'm sort of missing the modability of SF2. I remember I wanted to create a fictional campaign for the Vietnam map with French aircraft. But then suddenly aircraft started literally to fall apart and terrains started to look like a Bermuda triangle B-movie.

    I recently got me a new rig, Windows 10, 16GB with a GTX1050. Do the latest drivers still tear the game apart or has this issue been solved?

    Sorry if this is an old issue... but I've been away for so long, I really have no idea what's been going on. But before I start going mad over reinstalling everything, I want to make sure that I have no nasty surprises ahead :-)

    Cheers


  2. so... I tried a few things. Since the last big mod I installed was Rend's Germany terrain, I tested on my SF2NA mod folder (which I didn't use for a while)

     

    I flew the stock Germany terrain, enough times and various missions to see if it would crash or if my aircraft would go all "transformers" on me.

    Nothing...

     

    I install the Rend terrain, fly it, and it freezes. Sometimes in the cockpit, sometimes when there's a lot ground objects being attacked.

    I rename the Rend terrain (so that it's not recognized), install the older four seasons mod for GermanyCE, fly a couple of times... and after a few missions comes the dreaded freeze. (my mind is boiling now)

     

    Out of curiosity, I delete the Rend folder completely and leave the four seasons mod. Fly that, like at least ten missions, no freeze, no transformers, no blank terrains.

    Weird (or what?)

     

    Since I mainly use the SF2 mod folder for almost everything, I delete the Rend folder there, reinstall the four season mod and likewise, no freezes...

     

    I tried my Desert terrain (modded), seems ok. I did find the TERALPHAOBJECT.FX and TERSOLIDOBJECT.FX in there, which I deleted. Maybe those were the culprits that made my missions freeze in the desert.

     

    Still need to test the Vietnam and Iceland terrains. And fly a full campaign.

    If nothing weird happens, I'll try updating my driver and see what happens.


  3. I didn't touch the game in several months. And last time I played it ran without any hiccups.

    I play it again and bam!

    The only that changed is several driver updates and perhaps some fiddling with the card settings to optimize Civ V.

    But after experimenting with different settings and rolling back, nothing much has changed.

     

    It affects all terrains.

    I'm on Win 7, with a GTX960

     

    I'll try a different mod folder. I have a second one I made just for the Black Sea terrain.


  4. After a long break I fired up SF2, but this is what I got to see. Terrain going blank, sometimes objects are separating.

    Never saw this before. Must be related to my video card... I put the V Sync on off, but that didn't help.

    Terrain is Rend's Germany, but I had no problem before... Anyone seen this? What could this be? I'm pretty sure it's the card 3d settings... I have a GTX960

  5. French F-100D hi-res skins


    This is just a small mod to enhance the already existing mod of the French F-100D Super Sabre.
    I used hgbn's template as a starting point to create 2048x2048 skins for this mod. The skins now also have French warning markings instead of the stock english ones.
    I didn't remake all of the skins, but most of them are there.
    Sorry, didn't do the shark teeth. I need to redraw them in Illustrator.. one day.

     

    Installation:

     

    Before you download this, you need this mod first:

     

    http://combatace.com/files/file/11566-f-100d-arm%C3%A9e-de-lair-complete/

     

    Then you can replace the skins in the aircraft's respective skin folders.
    I used the same folder names of course.

     


    Credits:

     

    Paulopanz for the actual Armée De L'Air mod.
    hgbn for the F-100D template
    Sundowner for small weathering bits I recycled from I don't know where... (prob the F-4 ones)
    TW for the original 3D model of course.

  6. After download the Germany navy F-104G skins I noticed in the credits that they are based on Ravenclaw's template.

    Since the skins are 2048x2048, i guess these are hi-res ones. But they can't be found in the download section.

    Only the 1024 templates...

     

    Were these never released? It'd be great to make better generic camo skins for Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands...

    The stock ones are 512...
