Flanker562

Well SkateZilla, I may get lucky with Coretex Designs, I sent them a PM to see if I can help them, but nothing's certain as of yet.

I know how you feel, though I don't do multiplayer (no mic at least) so I fly around, and if I feel the need for combat I turn to SF2, though when TacPack is released I'll probably have some fun shooting at things with that.

Seems strange I can't force a flat spin either... with any jet, but good to know with the F-14. Though my favorite way of recovering out of a flat spin is to throttle to idle and then push on the stick (forward), once you stop moving wiggle the wings a bit, and then apply thrust. It's worked in any game (FSX and Flanker 2.5/LOMAC)

I think it's newer AI in my opinion, once you get in the kill slot it adopts a fatalistic attitude and then it gets easier to bag.

It's pretty interesting I trap at higher speeds in SF2 than in FSX, but then again... but I've come in at around ~250kts and that's about what's good for me. I realize in the real world it's a lot slower but what works, works...

Dusting the game off a little

Or go through the Mission editor, create a mission and spend some time removing things, and have a mission where you can do anything.you want. For example, start a strike mission, remove everything, place a carrier where you want. Then get rid of the enemy AAA/SAM and eventually work it into an Air Defense Suppression mission. IF all goes well when the game starts and it tells you to RTB, then you just made a simple "Free Flight" mission to practice stuff, such as carrier trapping, etc.

Caesar went up against my modified F/A-18F which was built using an uprated engine that hasn't (AFAIK) attracted real customers. But I personally doubt (or maybe it was back some pages) that if he took on the F-31 he would have been hammered, but like I said it's been so long that he's handled some of the fictional ones (as well as me).

Nope, RIOs are just "there" and do nothing other than rotate their heads around, looking at everything but realistically just do nothing. But whenever Red Crown calls up stuff it does refer relative towards your position. However, anything in red (subtitles) indicates it's you.

Package updated with everything here, no G cockpit yet though.

two years... or two weeks, I'm not doing the legacy sorry...

Now that you mention it, one of the main reasons for "bugging out" is that SF2 is just nothing new with it. No SDK for anything, just dealing with what TK gives us and that's it. Maybe if he'd start doing SDKs or something that allows us to enhance the game (such as what SkateZilla is doing) I'd be more intrested, but the fact of the matter is that right now it's maxed out in my opinion, or at least my point of view.

I'll hold onto the "get out of the car and stretch" mentality, and quite honestly has been my mentality with games. 2001... I was with Flanker 2.5 for a bit, then moved on to TW sims, LOMAC, then... I think I was at VBS1 still... Then I did some stuff for DCS: Black Shark, never got into that one. Moved back to SF1 then 2 during Afghanistan, worked on some consulting for DCS: A-10C, then stayed with SF2 up until now where I'm mainly doing some minor stuff with FSX and that's about where I stand... I enjoy SF2 but as said, sometimes you need to stop and see what else is out there before coming back.

Try these: Fonts and other Misc stuff.7z

Updated skin texture for VFA-32, with new droptank textures VFA32.7z

Small update to the VFA-32 tanks, full skin included VFA32.7z

Unfortunately TK didn't move on to black and white displays (remember it models early era screens, not modern) and probably not going to unless a specific .dll is changed, etc.

I think another issue is that really there's not may skinners around OR people who don't want to take the time to do the skins. For some it's easier (and cheaper) to spend 2.99 and hope to get the skin, rather than spend 70-800 dollars for Photoshop, or even 99 bucks for Photoshop Elements, or a different program. Of course there is GIMP, but again, why waste the time when you can download and fly?

Hehe But after the other related (sort of) topic, I'm putting my money into FSX this time. SF2 is always good since I can customize more but DCS... just not on my radar or preference.

Nice work as always...

Range practice

Commission for Stary:

Two bad, I like that two-seater version better, and RAZBAM only did the single seater CTOL version, which Julhelm made available here.
