I will be fascinated to see what comes out in the next months. I agree that Korea makes quite a bit of sense. It would be fun to create a series of Korean campaigns from the 50's to the 80's using the merged stock install. I also wonder how SF2:I will differ from WOI in terms of content and SF2E in terms of engine and avionics. I wonder if TK has any small upgrades for us like those that have been tucked away in SF2, SF2V, and SF2E.

The Campaign files are in your in the MissionData cat's in the Flight folder of your Thirdwire directory. Good luck!

In general, while flying 60's jets, its the MiG-17s that scare me. They can out-turn pretty much anything I am likely to be flying. They have plenty of gun ammo, and they can stay on my 6 and lob heavy shells my way for far too long. In comparison, MiG-21s are generally a breeze. The only time that they really scare me is when I am flying a heavily laden strike aircraft. They can get directly behind me and launch their IRMs, and there is little that I can do. However, in a lightly laden A-4 or A-7, I can generally drive off a MiG-21. In fact, once an A-7D or E has less than 50% of fuel and has jettisoned AG weapons, with 2 winders and 1000 rounds of 20mm, it is not to be trifled with itself.

And we're all reasonably sure that the use of this file won't: A. result in my video card going up in a puff of smoke in the next week. B. give the Latvian mafia use of my computer. C. result in my immortal soul being sold to the devil. I've never been able to play the Vietnam map with so little slow-down. This still seems way too good to be true!

wow... wow... My frame rates went up by 40-50%. wow...

I would, but I've also bought (nearly) everything else he has released. So, maybe I am not the best sample. I probably would buy an European themed F-16 or Mirage III, but mostly out of loyalty. I would be excited by an aircraft that has not yet been covered by TW or that does not exist as a TMF or other extremely high quality mod. And anything that involves even slight avionics upgrades would definitely be a winner.

So, after unpacking all the objectdata.cat's in a search for the new RWR .tga files, I have found them instead in the flightdata.cat in the flight folder of the core SF2E install. Some of the currently unused .tga's include RWR_F-14.tga RWR_F-16.tga RWR_F-18.tga RWR_MIG-25.tga RWR_MIG-29.tga RWR_MIG-31.tga RWR_PATRIOT.tga RWR_SA-11.tga RWR_SU-27.tga (I thought the Su-27 and MiG-29 used the same radar. Could be wrong...) Nice of Tk to include these.

Two things I think I noticed once but have not noticed again: 1. AIM-9 lost lock on target and reacquired lock on a second target. 2. Dropped tanks in a high-G turn and collided with them causing significant damage. Has anyone seen either of these things happen in SF2E? Or am I just imagining things?

Two things you can do: (And I assume you are running SF2E from your screenshot.) First, go into the file F-15C_Data.ini, scroll down to the weapons stations, and add "NATO" to attachment type to each of the sparrow stations. [LMSLStation1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=8 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-1.6,-4.4,-0.66 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=-2.0,0.0,-2.0 MissileRollAngle=45.0 LoadLimit=250 AllowedWeaponClass=AHM,SAHM AttachmentType=USAF,NATO ModelNodeName= PylonMass=0 PylonDragArea=0.005 Second, you can add weapons from Killerbee's excellent and comprehensive weapons pack for SF2. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8921 Good luck

Urm... this might not end well...

Which F-15C are you using? Chances are that it is a slightly older mod that has not been updated to SF2 standards. There is probably something that needs to be modded in regards to your sparrow stations.

I imagine the community will find a use for those additional unused RWR icons...

A year or so ago I was visiting a parishioner a month before he died from cancer. He was an elderly marine. He had joined the corps in 1940, served on Guadalcanal, and retired a couple of decades later having made the journey from private to sergeant and back again a couple times. Anyway, he was watching daytime TV through the whole visit. Before I left, I offered to say a prayer with him. He grunted his consent. As I concluded I said, "Amen." He said, "The're sure are some pretty women on television." That said, I am looking forward to SF2E and whatever Marine addons the community sees fit to provide!

My problem isn't so much following this advice myself but rather getting my wingmen to follow it. They line up right behind the beagles. The result is not pretty...

Wow, that's awesome. Did a triple LAU-10 loadout really exist?

Right now SF2 and SF2V have upgraded cockpits on most (all?) aircraft. That is the most noticeable difference, but they are the future of the series, and TK is worth supporting!

Glad it worked!

Wait a second... all above mentioned aircraft were working well in SF2. Now I cannot seem to fire a sparrow in the F-15A. I brought in an F/A-18 and I couldn't fire the sparrow with it either. Has anyone else had problems using SAHM missiles with aircraft using avionics70 in SF2V?

The F-15A, F-16A, A-10, AV-8A, Mirage III, and Kfir all seem to work fine for me. I had a couple of issues with the WOV Corsair and Crusader, but I've now ceased to worry about the WOV planeset. All the weapons and effects seem to be included for all WOE and WOI aircraft.

You can get it to work, but you have to extract all the F-4E.lod files from the WOV or WOE.

That was quick! Now to restart my Vietnam campaigns...

1. Spitfire (my grandfather flew a mk5 with the US 52nd fighter group in North Africa) 2. F-86 Sabre 3. A-10 Warthog

Okay, has anyone else had a problem with invisible MK84 2000lb bombs with SF2V? My copy does not seem to be finding the .lod files. Before I uninstall - reinstall, I wanted to see if anyone else here had noticed it.

I am a happy camper, and it is a great plane-set. I was hoping that the stock Desert campaigns might include all the new aircraft and carriers in the merged install, but that won't be too hard to fix. Well worth the $20!

Deleting the "refueler" system line in the data.ini worked. Thank you FC and Eric for your help!
