Can you add a mesh with a "fake pilot" method??

OK....here's my question for the week.................say you took a cool plane/model which has no landing gear..........let's say perhaps the Firebee Drone. An you gave it a cockpit(and guns,and missiles or cameras,etc)and now can fly it all over the place......BUT......no gear!! You can give it the imaginary gear of another aircraft (data ini cut/paste...he he!) but still.......goes KABOOM when you land it..............:rolleyes:Anyone have any little "tricks" up your sleeve for this one??

:clapping:BRAVO!!

Well....I tried everything (Userlists for vehicles), HUD plotted routes ,etc and still NO CAS or ARMED RECON on JSF's SF2 range................Game just freezes if you select one of these mission types. Must be some other glitch somewhere....so the heck with it!!! Static convoy targets is what I'm sticking with.

Could you tell me the magic sequence for PHOTOSHOP?? I use version 7.0. Would love a shortcut like this...................Thanks!! CHAMP.

And THANK YOU for your HELP......without it ...................no marbles for CHAMP!!

AH HA!! TRANSPORT....................good catch. SO what is the magic word for GROUND_ATTACK routes...................TANK?? If I make only one Range nation (userlist) TRANSPORT and only one Range nation (userlist) TANK, will the game just use those exclusively:idea: (intended)?? Thanks...CHAMP

When it refers to TRUCK routes.....does that mean any random truck,tank etc that matches the enemy nations list and userlist of the ground object? In this case I would need a ground object (like a T-34 tank) to ID'd as a "RANGE" nation to be available for selection? Does it pick at random or is there a method the game uses? THANKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Champ

Hooray!!....found the RANGE UPGRADE...........!! The pieces of the puzzle come together for Champ :.......now to find my marbles......................

Probably is yours!! Came with the SF2 Range download........I'm ASSUMING (??) it does not function in the SF2 Range since nothing is moving....YET. If there is a updated version....I would love to see how it works. This is my first "stumble" into terrain stuff....thats why I'm asking LOTS of questions...........THANKS FOR THE REPLYS!!! Keep em coming.........me learn.....me learn!!

I hope to start a discussion about the important odds and ends about setting up these routes. Here is the MOVEMENT ini from the SF2 Range (which has no Armed Recon or CAS missions due to lack of moving targets). Could someone( Terrain Wizards) cast some light on this area.

This would be MOST APPRECIATED as I am trying to make some things GO ZOOM and BOOM on the SF2 Range.......CHAMP

I found it....in the AIRCRAFTFIRE EFFECTS ini...............clever!!! Looks like it stays...........thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was UNAWARE this mod existed.........

How can one change the number of AI aircraft launched on a mission? My AI controlled airbase will launch 10+ aircraft on a SWEEP mission and only 2 on a RECON. How could I change it to 4 and 1 respectively?

Putting together a new QB-47E target drone. I made the J47's the type with water injection(-25A).....added about 20 percent thrust. Now I can rotate at the VERY,VERY end and just get airborne before I mow the cactus. That's with TO FLAPS(20)........with LANDING FLAPS (50) she does much better.........3/4 runway....Champ

Can it be removed or modified? I don't want pilots ejecting from "PILOTLESS" drone aircraft......

THANKS!!

NOT to sound stupid....BUT is there really a mod for this?? I installed the SF2V Gold expansion pack and before this......never saw a bailer before. Did I get a little extra surprise from the pack???...champ

Here is my question for the day. IS IT POSSIBLE to change the default T.O. Flap setting to use landing flap angles for the takeoff run. I've noticed the B-47 needs a TON of runway(more than you have) with the current TO flap setting...........if you use LANDING flaps for TO you can get it airborne in about 2500m......the full length but it works. CAN the data ini be changed for this?? Also....where do you change the max speed that the flaps can be deployed for landing?? You need to slow the B-47 down to 150kts to drop the first notch of flaps........nearly impossible to do........I believe it should be closer to 200kts......Champ

I would like to make a GroundObject KS-19 AAA gun that tracks via radar (got that figured out) BUT THEN DOES NOT SHOOT. I've tried removing the gun info, changing the gun to a non -existing type, zeroing the data, so WHAT else can we do??..........throw me a life-ring here....:) I already made a terrain object(static gun) but thats BOOORINGGGGGG!!!

Blasted an UN-MANNED drone with a "winder" and saw this go by.........had to pause game, jump out of cockpit via Ctrl/F12 and go see what it was...................... Who the heck invited this idiot? OK..........can this be turned off in the effects and can it be done for a specific aircraft?? Or do I just live with it.......THANKS...Champ

I believe that is a type of spring loaded intake (like the T-33 has on its back) for the centrifugal compressor. I think its called an intake plenum..........??? Anyone?? Bueler??

I had a bad feeling that was the answer.

I think you may be right about the target being "under" the terrain....it is a third party terrain I'm using (the SF2 Range). Is there a quick fix for this or does it require ALOT of brain and finger work?? Champ
