F-8 Crusader !!!! 

ALL OF 'EM !!! 

Not a stellar idea, mixing mods would be a disaster. Swap some of the Aircraft skins maybe, but why would on wish to.

Sad news but not unexpected. Queen was not well news media informs us here. Very sad for her passing. But life must go on for the living. Long live the King. My late Mum got to 96 as well, I will not. 

Her Majesty would have held those same sentiments mate. She was stoical and down to Earth. 

A huge part of the Heart of Britain and Her Commonwealth has passed with her. I salute you Ma'am PER ARDUA.

All good, thanks for fixing the problem mate !!

Same here 

There are some you tube videos posted by Devin Horner too, that are worth a look.

Dickhead, I wouldnt mind if the sub was expensive, some folk are just disrespectful morons, who think they can take the piss. A lifetime ban sounds applicable here to me.

I totally understand your desire, however, I see no real way around the issue, sometimes we have to work with the tools we are given. However in this case, we are looking at a rather unique set of circumstances, where obsolete equipment is in general use when more advanced types are in general issue. I dont know how one could address this problem satisfactorily to be honest, it would be brilliant to be able to merge both FE and SF into one, however, it is not really a viable option, without huge amounts of tinkering and modification "under the hood" Unfortunately, due to TK's silly stance on this, we are not able to get to the core of the 2 sims , or rather not in enough detail, to be able to re calibrate the whole thing and make it "better" 

On one side of the coin, I sort of understand TK's attitude, it is his intellectual property after all, however, there are also arguments to be made that as the 2 sims are getting on in years now, and that any modification to the whole setup, would not be a financial issue for TK. But this is a long standing conversation, and one it would seem, that has no logical solution to it. Waiting for TK to extractum digitum, is a vain hope, we are still awaiting his promise of updating SF to bring it into Win 10 added compatibility, another forlorn hope methinks !! 

I have flown some FE aircraft in SF, and they seemed to work ok, but not all of them will, and as you point out, the FM's are totally different. The long and short of it is, as I previously stated, whilst the idea is desirable, it is not really feasible, without huge amounts of coding and fiddling around, which is just really not worth it, especially when there are more up to date WWI sims available, such as BH&H which blows FE out of the water, not of course that I am saying FE is not worth bothering about, as that is far from the case, however, if like myself and Eagle114th are working on a new "campaign" or story line, which starts in WWI and then flows through to modern day, we are utilising both FE, and SF independently of each other. To do a full on merging of FE and SF, is a pointless and ridiculously time consuming exercise, which, considering the age of the engine, and the limitations of crossover from FE to SF, is futile. Yes things like the F12 issue are a bit irritating, but not really deal breaking in the great scheme of things, I have learned to live with it personally.

I think thiswould be a " desireable " thing  too, however, as it is such a monumental task, and as of now, no one has even attempted it, I think it unlikely to ever be something attempted or completed. Pretty much everything would have to be converted to the SF engine, from the ground up, and, as FE works just fine as it stands, al be it with some restrictions, I know of no one who would be willing to undergo this process, without a large team of modders and testers to accomplish it. 

Yes you can adapt FE aircraft terrains etc. To work with SF, however, the AI behaviour, and the FM of the aircraft in SF work , or are coded differently, so when you use FE aircraft etc in SF, they can act erratically, I have experienced the aircraft refusing to take off, or instead of taking off, and flying to the next waypoint, they taxi there instead. There are other issues too I expect, but I haven't explored the whole concept thoroughly as it is a pointless exercise. 

F12 dont not work, I have experimented with it, and its a non starter, unfortunatley FE is not as "developed" as SF, which is a crying shame, as it is crying out for much love and attention,  if they both worked off the same engine, then they could be combined, however, TK in his short sighted wisdom, has abandoned FE snd SF which is a travesty. I totally get where you are coming from with the F12 issue too, as it would be well cool if it had that option. 

NICE !!!

The only "Celebrity" Pilot he did was that of Bruno Statchel. Or at least the only one I am aware of.

Yes that sweet little Macchi is often overlooked !! 

I already posted a similar one a few months back, but here is my contribution............

1. Sopwith Pup early and late versions.

2. An all new SVA .

3. Brisfit, I think everyone wants...no, needs this.

4. Roland Walfisch.

5. Bristol Scouts.

6. FE2's 

7, Avro 504's all marks.

I know a lot of these are available from A-Team, but most people dont have that access unfortunately.

Yeah, its a sad fact tthat there are few FE modellers, and now Geezer has unfortunately  gone AWOL, the talent pool is severely limited when it comes to giving FE some much needed love. 

First Eagles, ( and post WWI) really really needs a non DAT Bristol Fighter, has any one ( and this is where I am sort of aiming it at Stephen  ) got any plans, to make an all new F2B, as the DAT one, although sort of ok, isn't the best, or rather, not as good as it COULD be. a couple of versions would be nice to see, with the early engine modelled, as well as the later, and post war versions. This is a very important aircraft for the period, and is one not available to a lot of pilots, due to the Capun rules and regulations. Oh...yeah.....we NEED a Sopwith Pup too !! I unfortunately have no idea or skills when it comes to modelling the aircraft, so as with everyone else, I am reliant on you magicians of the model design mob, to please please please, make these 2 very important and relevant aircraft. 

Aint we all brother !!! 

I posted it here on purpose to get a wider audience so to speak 

Hi there can anyone point me at a possible solution to this problem. I have 2 installs of FE2 one which is vanilla standard, and the other is using the Desert/Palestine maps, on the weapons loadouts for CAS work perfectly well in vanilla FE, however, not on the Palestine install,  all other loadouts work just fine though ie. Strike, and armed recon, however whenever CAS is inserted anywhere, it refuses to auto equip the appropriate loadouts for a CAS mission. Does anybody have a clue as to why this may be occurring at all ? the loadout files are identical for both Vanilla, and for the Palestine installs, aand as I say, if I specify an armed recon mission, it will install the correct weapons load, but not for CAS, this is bugging the hell out of me, so any assistance will be much appreciated. 

more tracked loveliness from the Panzer Meister !!!  

It is a possibility, they have ties with China and N korea, as well as the likes of Libya and Syria,  however, although a reasonably wealthy country, they are a little limited on their manufacturing and industrial capabilities, unlike SAAD which is a more industrialised country, with their own aircraft industry, Zafir has only a light industrial capability, they do have an arms and munitions industry, but heavy industry is really a far reach for them. As I said to Daddy, I am not really a big fan of including Nuclear weapons. However a Scud or more likely Silkworm capability is definitely on the cards,  having those weapon systems would certainly cause some headaches in the area !!!
