Yes I was talking about the mission builder, I will give editing the planning map a crack tomorrow. Cheers.

Do you have an updated water map for this terrain so ships will work with the latest expansion/patch level? Cheers, Dan.

None at all. I just re installed it with the same problem. I am downloading the old aircraft from the a team website to get the single lod file as instructed.

Trying to fly the Grumman E-2C HawkEye causes a crash when the loading bar reaches 100% in a single mission.

Hi guys, I’m after some advice on how to create a dummy turret for an aircraft. What I’m doing is updating the SF1 MV-22 for SF2 and I want to recreate the GAU-17 minigun turret under the belly of the aircraft and the gunner on the lowered ramp. To take care of the 3d models I am going to place the gatling gun and gunner from the UH-1 in the correct position and although they wont move with the gun/gunfire but that will do for now. That is no problem but I need help on the INI data to make it all work if anyone has some ideas? Cheers and happy new years, Dan

Hi, Do you mean you have merged all these mods into one giant install with no major issues? Cheers, Dan.

I have created two separate installs on the new SF2 Falklands campaign. One I use as normal the other I have added other add on British aircraft from 1983 onwards. My problem is when creating a single mission in more modern time (eg 2005 to simulate a fictional second attack on the Falkland’s) the game crashes. I have changed every date I can think of to 2020+ such as aircraft, ships and ground objects for both sides. As well as extending all the dates in the option.ini etc. What am I missing to get this to work? Cheers, Dan

Cheers but I have already changed both those figures with the problem still happening.

Hi guys Im after a bit of advice for anyone who's done something similar to what Im planning to do. The way I have SF2 set up is with Nato Fighters installed as a base then all the other add on aircraft/weapons/terrains/objects etc put in overtop without overriding any of the Nato Fighters files. This works well for me as Nato fighters gives me all the extra effects and weapons I need and the campaigns to play plus I have added most all other add on aircraft and terrains. I have now decided after playing around with the mission editor and creating huge land battles to fly CAS for, that my ground objects need adding too to bring my selection of ground units up to the modern day. I was thinking about copying and pasting in all the ground objects from the Modern Korea campaign, Does anyone have any thoughts on weather this will do what I want all in one go or should I be picking and choosing so as not to muck up my Nato Fighters campaign etc? Obviously I would have to copy and paste the Korea effects, weapons, sounds and guns folders to make sure all the Korea ground objects worked but I wouldn't override any files when I did this. Cheers for your thoughts, Dan.

I rather ignorantly didn’t realise that I couldn’t upload series 1 lods for use with series 2 aircraft. It was brought to my attention so I removed it and re-uploaded it without the lod files. Which means you will have to have one of the series 1 titles that have the A-4F model to make use of it. There are instructions in the readme on how to install it. The edited upload isn’t showing up in the downloads section because it is awaiting moderator approval.

Been busy fleshing out my Indonesian Airforces’s inventory with A-4E’s and F’s for the updated Darwin terrain.

I'm starting to thing the Ex Pack 2 may not be worth it with the effect it seems to have on some of the add on aircraft/effects :(

You can see the chaff & flare launchers in these photos beside the ventral fin but the best I can do is paint them onto the skin in 2D and have the data.ini file launch them from the correct location (which I've done on in game). Maybe someone with some modelling skills could create the launchers in 3D with the fake pilot method etc? http://www.airliners.net/photo/Romania---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-21MF-Lancer/1774295/L/&sid=0833db27e7700bd06869139d835de784 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Romania---Air/Mikoyan-Gurevich-MiG-21MF-Lancer/1749321/L/&sid=2a539d4b863dc386d83b59f44613e926

I'm working on correcting the location of the flare & chaff launchers as soon as I get a chance so I can post the updated coordinates here if you want to use them as well? When its done.

Great work guys :)

A model is optimised for air to ground and vice versa for the C model however I have found plenty of photos of the C model with air to ground ordinance to suggest it is used in the air to ground roll as well. The EL/M-2032 radar is a multi role radar.
