  1. Vietnam, Try Green hell, as for Europe, then the terrains included with NATO Fighters is pretty decent, Israel there is one I believe and for Desert you cant go wrong with Desert 2 most terrains are avilable as seperate downloads, however I believe there may be a few that are in the Campaign packs only , another reason for making those multiple installs I was talking about, that way you can test them out and see if they are for you or not, before installing in your pertinent install for whatever scenarios you are playing. As for the Phantoms, I havent noticed this issue , although I havent used one of late, it does seem rather odd that it is just the FGR that has the issue.
  2. Ah Squiffy, is a term to describe a feeling of being "off" for example, one would feel somewhat squiffy, if the Butler fails to deliver ones afternoon Tea and Crumpets, or if ones Bordeaux is served at anything but the correct temperature. It is and indeed can be used to describe ones general health, for example , One feels somewhat squiffy today , one really must not partake so liberally of the hors' douevres at the club old boy, however the term can also be replaced in this instance with the word Collywobbles, if one is addressing ones Mater, or ones Nursie , when dealing with enquiries into ones health and well being. So broadly translated into World Speak, ( wish these foreign Johnnys would use and understand an Englishman when he speaks !! ) it can mean anything from FUBAR to knackered, or on the fritz, or up shit creek without a paddle......Seriously how common is this vile usage of our beloved English language, squiffy is a most wonderful and descriptive word with multiple uses, and may be used to convey many emotions or feelings, without getting too over excited and "Foreign" I do so hope that this is an adequate explanation for all to read and understand. Pip pip old bean .
  3. If you go to the archives on here, there is a really good guide on how to make multi installs , each new "copy" will have its own save game folders , and if you do as Wrench says in his comment above, you should have no issues, as I said I have several installs, all doing slightly different things, but they all have the same default.ini ....Go take a look at the guides in here and it explains it very well how to do it, that is why none of us will put the procedure in a forum, as it has already been written.
  4. What a lot of us do, is make multiple installs , primarily for setting up alternative scenarios, IE. I have one that is called test pilot , and I use it for any skinning stuff I am doing, and what I do is set up the controls and keybinds in the first or original install, then copy the pertinent file across to any other installs you may have , thus you dont need to change any key set ups, or graphical options from one install to another, as they are then ( if you do what I suggested ) all a clone of each other . Also I tend to keep a back up copy of the file, just in case of any nasty incidents where you need to reinstall for any particular reason , obviously keep the file separate from the game.....I know that seems obvious, but one can overlook this in error. As for why your file that you pasted over doesn't work, I have no answer for that, the sim can be a little cantankerous at times, and sometimes it means you just have to bite the bullet and start from scratch. On my part, I have never run into this issue . Maybe someone else has .
  5. Don't call me Sir, I ain't a Knight, or an Officer, I can both read a map, and make my own tea !! As for posting on boards for so long, as have most of us on here , and yes at times there are idiotic, or inconsequential comments, however most of us just live with them and either laugh ( because usually the offending comment is sarcastic humour ) or move past it, no need to get irritated, as in the main, this site is very helpful and constructive . In summary, sometimes a perfectly viable solution ( As Bazillus's was ) may not be posed in a way that is immediately understandable, usually due to the fact that the author of said comment , is maybe using a second language , and the English is maybe a little hard to decipher, but if you stare at it long enough, you can usually get the gist of the authors meaning. Sorry to have a pop at you like this, as I usually keep my own council, however....................
  6. I'm sorry, but if indeed it didn't help. there is zero reason to be rude about it, Baziillus first language, is not English, so be a little understanding about peoples comments when they maybe do not come across perfectly. I am sure he was only trying to make a courteous comment. I have noticed a few occasions , where you have asked questions, and when members reply, TRYING to assist you, that you either do not reply , and acknowledge, or you make rather sharp comment.....basically, if you aint got anything good to say, say nothing....End of DIT !!
  7. All the DLC packs are worth having to be frank, if ya have the pennies go buy 'em all
  8. Thrustmaster Warthog stick making my desk shake?

    Maybe invest in a separate stand ? a lot of the Steering wheel stands, which are relatively inexpensive, are not a great deal different from a comparable joystick/hotas stand you can even mount your rudder pedals if you have those as well. The reason I made this comment here is because eventually I want a warhog myself, to replace my X52 pro, however as I also play American/Euro Truck simulator, and Farming Sim 19, I could really do with a set up that is easy to move out of the way when I am not using either my steering set up, or my Hotas ........just a thought mate, take a quick gander on amazon, there are a plethora of 'em on there and all for a decent price, make sure though that you look for one that has an adjustable side mount , used mainly for gear shifters, however it looks to me that it would work just fine for a throttle stand. Another comment I have seen in regards to the Warthog, is that with the joystick some peeps actually place it on their seat and use the stick in a conventional setting, as the base on your stick is very large, and therefore is comfortable to have in between your legs and wide enough for your thighs to hold it down more securely. Food for thought matey.
  9. The British of course have style, and panache, unfortunately the ones that display this characteristic , tend to be the privileged chinless wonders who led us in great "victories" such as the Crimean War, the Boer War, many of the nasty little dust ups on the Western Front in WWI , and other little skirmishes.....Thankfully Tommy Atkins, and Jack Tar were there to pull them out of the doo doo , whilst the silk stockings full of shit sip their Pink Gin and play leapfrog. The Vampire I seem to remember was in development DURING WWII so no German input was involved, hence the Vampire and Meteors straight wings, the Allies applied the German research on swept wing tech as did the Russkis after WWII was over.
  10. Super Connie in the works as well ? and the militarised ones too hopefully ?
  11. Short Belfast C.Mk.1 for SF2

    The Hastings I mean was known as the Flying Pig , not the Belfast
  12. Short Belfast C.Mk.1 for SF2

    Also known as the Flying Pig in RAF service , Dad was on those as a Flight Eng as well based out of Nicosia Cyprus during the Eoka troubles.
  13. Short Belfast C.Mk.1 for SF2

    My Father was a Flight Engineer on the Belfast , he left the RAF when they went out of service and followed them to Heavy lift , he was involved in the airlifts to Ascension during the Falklands Campaign , he was a big fan of the Belfast , he reckoned it was superior to the C130 in many respects .
  14. Now this I DO like, nice take on the Aircobras the RAF had, I wonder how well it would have done in reality on British Carriers , and would it have been an improvement over the Sea Hurricane, and Seafire.
  15. Or if you wanted to go more towards Suez timeframe RAF Nicosia............As far as I know no RAF fighters ever flew the Syria or Lebanon corridors, and I was based at Akronelli in the 80's The U2's used to fly oveer there from Akrotiri but none of the Detachments did, and we would have known about it if they were as we would have gone on super high alert status.
  16. As I said, ONE of those particularly awful British aircraft, Blackburn Roc was no better , I wont use the Defiant , as at least the Defiant was actually reliable, and useful.
  17. One of those particularly awful British aircraft, the damn thing was a liability, it was awful , and in some cases fatal to use from a carrier, it was as manoeuvrable as a 3 wheeled bus, and it was just basically crap in all respects......Oh and pig ugly as well.
  18. You just have to love the Brick, a beautiful Aeroplane from any angle ............this is an interesting watch as well
  19. I would agree, I have a super duper ninja pc, with all the bells and whistles, and it makes no noticeable difference to the way SF 2 and FE 2 runs , yes a little bit of ram expansion and a better vid card are certainly helpful, however the differences in performance and efficiency will all be "under the hood" and you will notice nothing at all, so upgrade by all means, as that is no bad thing at all , I cannot comment on re furbed pc's as I have no experience of them, but if that is all you can , or are willing to purchase, then go for it mate .
  20. The Hurricane also had and offset tail fin, so quite common to have non symmetrical airframe layouts in actual fact , probably more common than one would imagine.
  21. DC-3 Cockpits.7z

    Wow !! that opens up possibilities for other multi engined types , as a fair few cockpits are very primitive in comparison to this. Well done my good sir, well done.
  22. C'mon Mr Wrench sir, we are blokes, and we all know real blokes do NOT ever read instructions , for to do so would be un blokey, and far too logical , and we cant be having logic and common sense invading our fav flight sim.....this is why no Females ( or blokettes ) post in here, as they are horribly Locical and ALWAYS read instructions and the like........a ghastly state of affairs if you ask me sir !!

  23. F/A-18 Hornet Quick Aircraft Facts

    Gotta love the Bug
  24. What Caliber Weapon Is Needed To Kill These Things?

    Napalm....................Yup Napalm is good , dont wanna go Nuclear on their ass, cos thats probably what caused the buggers to mutate into Waspie hell freaks from Hades in the first place .
