I definitely need to spend some time practicing with the Turkey, not as smooth as the Super Hornet that's for sure...

Oh I know though from OFP/VBS1 modeling. Strange thing is that I could build a lot of stuff in Oxygen Light but never grasped 3DSMax (had 3.1 around... 2002-03 or so) so I wish I could use that instead of 3DS Max but I'm a bit behind the power curve with all that...

And got the tail decals done (Used the ones from the SF2 RF-101B)

It also makes me glad (though jealous) that I gave up on 3D modeling, one can only have one forte :)

The actual issue is not the terrain, but the culprit is the Options.ini: [singleMission] AircraftType=FA-18F Service=USN MissionMap=LIBYA MissionType=STRIKE MissionTime=RANDOM MissionWeather=RANDOM AirActivity=RANDOM AirDefenseActivity=HEAVY FlyAll=FALSE LoadMission=TRUE LoadMissionFilename=C:\Users\EricJ\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Missions\SoCal Mountain Warfare Trainer.MSN MissionDate=2011 StartYear=0 EndYear=2050 EditMission=FALSE Change the bold text to include modern jets and you'll have no more issues.

It probably wasn't updated for the new shaders, go here to fix that issue: http://combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/

On the cat

No problem! But I will add that as it was something new to troubleshoot...

Yessssss please finish it Brain

A 12 Sqn GR.4 heads out towards the Nellis ranges after departing NAS Miramar for live fire CAS training prior to leaving for Afghanistan, 2009

Usually I install on the C: Drive and that's that. After that I use the mods directory...

Joystick? I have the same problem with my stick from time to time as it'll automatically go to 50% while on the ground or boat even though the stick is at zero. After moving the throttle a bit it finally resets itself. Did you move the stick around or it just started like that and not fixable?

Right, and after that it has an autoupdater so it'll download the rest of the patches after that (up to now)

Got the tanks done

http://www.thirdwire.com If I remember correctly bump mapping was integrated around Feb 2011 patch or so. My advice is to download the latest patch and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

The only other problem I can think of is that it's a patch issue, not a mod issue. What patch are you running if any?

Thanks!

Did some poking around and found that the 45th didn't have anything flashy on their aircraft (least I can tell anyway) so have to find some decals (gonna use one of the RF-101 jets for SF2) and figure out the names for the tail and it'll have some kind of serial numbers. And I still have to do the tanks and pylons, keep forgetting that...

Hmm... that is odd, is it your graphics drivers? Have you updated them? I've seen somewhere about that issue (weapons but no plane) so update your drivers and see what happens. Because since you did install it right it should show, as obviously you're able to get into the mission.

Are you sure you installed it correctly? Tell me what you did when you installed it.

My only theory is that you're using it on the Anatolia map? If so then it's a map error NOT the aircraft.

more practice

I'd just like to add that I don't get any FPS drop (at least on my rig) with his bombs, and the only way you'll miss is bad flying technique.
