So, I've deleted, re-downloaded, and re-installed. The first time I start the sim with the Super Hornet, I get approximately 4 seconds of thrust before the engines die and I coast to a halt on runway 36. Every subsequent time I fly the aircraft, the engines are dead from the moment the sim starts. Curious... I am running SF2 in 32bit Vista Sp1 on an dell built Intel Core 2 Quad based system with 4gb or ram and (I think) 512mb of video ram. I've never seen anything like this before with any other mod. It's odd...

I make it all of about 12 feet on the runway before my engine turns off. I've never encountered this problem with any add-on with a Thirdwire game. (I didn't even know that the game's engine was capable of giving me this kind of problem.)

Uhm... Tower...

Okay, odd problem: I just put the E and F into SF2. I believe that I installed aircraft, decals, weapons, sounds, effects, missing cockpit textures, et all correctly for SF2. So, the mission begins. My plane's engines run for one second and then shut down. My cockpit gives me the "all warning lights" look, and I sit silently on the runway. Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas?

I, too, took the bait, hook, and sinker...

Any idea where we might try looking for those textures? Are those textures pointed to in an .ini file? Or is it something internal in the .lod files? Any thoughts?

Anyone else hearing a Hendrix song in their head?

I know it would not work for others, but for my own private campaign modding, I just ini edit the Su-39 in to a very rough Su-25. Is it accurate? No, but since I am rarely closer than a half mile before I send an AIM-9 its way, I don't notice.

Magnificent Aircraft! Many thanks to all who worked on it. Works great it SF2 - once you figure weapons editing out...

and it works well somewhat slow going, though

Happy, Hungry Flanker in SF2

Which .ini files, if I may ask?

HUDs of third-party or ported aircraft are now a delightful shade of green. Items placed in the "effects" folder now show up in game. Many thanks to TK! Now if I can just get a way to get some R-73s and R-27s in the game so that the Flanker can have some teeth...

I love coming in at tree-top level in an A-7, popping up, unleashing a shrike or two, dropping six or twelve Mk82s, and then heading back for the grass hoping no one is one my tail.

I've sunk a ship by unloading much of 3 suu-23's into a cargo ship.

For sounds, create a "sounds" folder in the main directory. At present, 3rd party effects do not work. (Thirdwire is presently working on a patch which should resolve this and some other issues.) However, the game includes many afterburner effects that should stand in. In the folder of the aircraft that you want to mod, open the planename_data.ini file. Scroll down to the entry for the engine, and change the afterburner emitter name to one of the stock effects such as AfterburnerEmitter or F15AfterburnerEmitter. (Be sure to do this for both engines of twin engined jets.) [Engine] ....... ExhaustEmitterName=DirtyExhaustEmitter ExhaustPosition=0.0,-9.07,0.51 AfterburnerNodeName=afterburner AfterburnerEmitterName=F13AfterburnerEmitter <-make sure this line reads "AfterburnerEmitter" or F15AfterburnerEmitter AfterburnerEffectSize=0.90 MinExtentPosition=-0.78,-9.07,-0.28 MaxExtentPosition= 0.78,-3.22, 1.29

wow...

I, too, use the Logitech Attack 3. It is cheap, and I prefer it to most of the others that I have tried. I hope to upgrade to a CH joystick at somepoint, but the Attack 3 works for now.

So, five minutes ago I was walking with my wife along my street in Wilmington, NC. Along our walk I had seen a number of civil aircraft on approach into ILM (Wilmington's airport). I could be wrong, but the last aircraft we saw looked to be an EA-6B. It was at about 1,000-2,000 feet. It's landing gear was down. I could make out the two-row canopy and the bulge in the tail. Again, I am no expert, but I am fairly certain that I just saw a Prowler. So, what in the world is a Prowler doing landing in Wilmington? I occasionally have seen MV-22's, C-130's, and AV-8B's from MCAS Cherry Point over Wilmington, but none of them have ever shown the slightest interest in landing. One of those occasions when I wished that I always carried my camera with me...

Very nice! The Netz does very well in SF2. I'm looking forward to these skins.

Wow, looks great! So, when it is on the ground will it have open cargo doors allowing us to fly smaller aircraft through its cargo hold?

Great Movie! Great Map!

I was looking for Il-2 skins. In browsing the forums, I realized that someone had made and F-86 add-on for a flight sim that I had never heard of. Reading more, I placed an order for SFP1. However, it was not until the WOE/Service Pack 4 era that I really started paying attention. At that point, I finally found a worthy successor to the Janes USNF/ATF/FA series.

Hinchinbrooke, that is a beautiful heavy cruiser! Des Moines class?

I agree. I was just wondering how our AI friends would do. Flying bombers online in Il-2 hyperlobby games, I am always amazed at how many pilots will make one decent pass from above/below/ahead, fail to shoot me down, and then settle in directly behind me where two or three of my gunners have a clear shot at their engines.
