Your tempting me. When I just started flying SFP1 I'd have jumped at the opportunity. But I've gotten decent at hitting stuff with the fixed sights. So I guess I'll hold off until the next time I blow a few missions in a row because I can't hit the broad side of a hangar.

Hi Say What!, your reading this out of context, I wasn't trying to say that Israel has no nukes, it most probably does. I was trying to illustrate the difficulty in answering this question, since even their existence must be inferred from circumstantial evidence, it is doubly difficult to infer what exact form the air dropped delivery systems took.

As you state, It is not even possible to prove that Israel has nukes. It's all speculation. While what is known about the Jerrico missiles can give you an idea of the limitations within which a nuclear warhead would need to be designed, for aircraft, the options are much wider in size weight and shape and it's much harder to speculate. Perhaps we can speculate that Israel at this early stage of it's nuclear program would start by trying to copy French or US designs. Same as with it's fighter program. As we have nothing to go on, I'd go with designs based on French nukes as a hypothetical scenario.

That would be great, I hesitate to start messing about lest I break something. Especially the whole upgrade issue with the different skins for different years.

Thanks, really adding fidelity to the game. When I try to select one of the modded skins in campaign, no serial is available. Is this a limitation or a bug? Thanks,

The Kadesh campaign involves quite large numbers of guns only jets slogging it out in intense fur-balls. It is a bit difficult to tell who hit whom with what, but it seems to me that there may be an overdose of midair collisions. I've noticed that sometimes, when I overshoot the target and make a very close pass, it explodes, wile I stay intact. It may have been hit by someone right at that moment, but I didn't see him. Here are a couple of screenshots of two AI plains having a very close encounter, the vampire explodes wile the Mystere looks intact, I don't see any tracers, so I don't think someone else shot him. Before After Anyone else notice such strange behavior? Or just too many collisions in general? Later, Ziker

Well I guess I'm not the only one seeing this. I guess the none visible damage is possible, when I had a close pass with a Vampire and he exploded, I was listed as wounded despite not suffering any hits or visible damage in that mission.

I posted this already but can't find it. So excuse me if there's a double post. The SF2 Expansion Pack 1 is out. With Operation Kadesh for SF2 Israel 1956. It's available on the Thirdwire site It's time to work on your gunnery skill, no missiles to save you in this campaign. I'm happy to report that Mystere IVA squadrons can now be selected in the 1976 six say war campaign as well. Enjoy,

Excellent! Really loving the more detailed skins. I wish there was a way to get the campaigns to use the correct skins for the correct period automatically. Thanks guys.

Hi jombni, I've got my HUD set at Normal. I've seen at least one more person with this problem. Aren't you getting it? Regards,

Lost, Subtitles after installing patch. Anyone else getting this? Thanks,

Really liked this one in WOI, will it work in SF2 I? Thanks,

Hitting the y key for visual targeting of friendly aircraft doesn't seem to work for me after patching to feb 2010. I checked the key assignments in the came control settings and everything looks fine. Shift+y to target previous friendly aircraft sometimes works. Any one else getting this or is this problem particular to my machine? Thanks,

OK, I see the problem isn't only on my end. Just did a bug report on the ThirdWire Forum. Thanks

I'm guessing that this is for a merged install?

OK I'm new to the SF2 series, I've just got SF2I and want to import my HUDDATA.ini mod. I know there's supposed to be some kind of mod folder. But I can't find one. I tired adding the HUDDATA.ini file to the flight folder as in WOI but it had no effect. Should I expect this mod to work in SF2I? Where do I need to place it for it to work? I'm attaching the file, it basically makes the text shown on screen larger for me. Thanks,

OK, I had a few hours to play around with this and figured it out. Managed to extract the right .cat file and mod the HUDDATA.INI to the specs of my WOI specs. Thanks for the Knowledge Base links,

OK, I found the folder, but it has only one folder in it: "NetCache". What directory do I need to add for the HUDDATA.INI? HUDDATA.INI is the only file I wish to extract. I don't wish to download and learn the whole extraction process for this one file. I'd be grateful if someone could extract and send me this one file. Thanks,

Hi Dave, I placed my bet on the 6th on Facebook. I'm stuck to my PC all day, but no joy yet. I still remember your Yom-Kippur pack for the original SFP1. What a joy that was, simulating Yom-Kippur missions on the 30th anaversery of the war. would you really believe it's been 6 years since then, and SF keeps on getting better. Come on TK, it's Sukkot (the Tabernacles Feast) and I've got the week off. Make my holiday! Time zones are a killer, it's already the evening of the 6th here, I know it's only noon on the east coast. __________________ Zivan "Ziker" Krisher

I have a problem with my game graphics in WOI. I've had this problem in the past, but it got solved at some point, I think after one of the patches came out. However after upgrading to a 9:16 monitor and updating my Nvidia drivers to the latest versions, first to 186 and now to 190, I get the glitch on every single mission. I also get the same glitch on an installation of WOE with the Desert Storm campaign installed. A fresh install with no mods, and updated to the latest patch got the same results. Basically what happens is that the screen flickers, and the tiles get rearranged. See for yourselves: This happens again and again with ever changing and usually worsening results. Sometimes I think it has a sense of humor: Has anyone else experienced this problem, and did you find a solution? Thanks, Ziker

No, I don't overclock anything at all. I've never gone into overclocking and have no extra cooling on my machine. I use relatively low resolutions, and it is not all that demanding on my machine. I've bought a Sony HD-Ready KDL-32S5500 to use as my monitor. It runs at 1360x768 pixels (I don't mind I don't see very well and the extra resolution of a full HD would be lost on me). So far so good,

Thanks for all the input, it is definitely acting very weird. After making many attempts to minimize the programs opened before I go into WOI, I ended up discovering a new tactic. Actually going into another game and then going into WOI has given me better results. I've so far tried this twice and was able to fly a number of missions without any glitches. Going into WOI strait after reboot got me the glitches on the first mission again. I don't have any issues with any other game. Call of Dugy 4 and 5 work well, so does IL-2 1946. and strangely they seem to pave the way for WOI. I've got an Nvidia 9800GTX+ and the PSU is a 500W from ANTEC It is the best PSU I've ever invested in. This is all very strange and every time I think I've got my finger on the problem, suddenly it happens again under the same conditions. I hope that this time around I'm on to something. Thanks,

Problem is that the old Nvidia driver didn't work well with other games after I went wide screen. Thanks, Ziker
