Do I need a data link pod attached to the aircraft in order to be able to launch an IIR missile ? Or it was not simulated in SF1 series ?

adding that value solved the issue, many thanks man!

alright, I'll do that, and tell you what happened after. Thanks for staying with me.

ok I'll take a look, but I really have no idea how just looking to an animation it would spark a solution into my mind for that.

no , I don't. I use malvinas planes on WOI and I have compatible other terrains (Desert Storm/GermanyCE/Israel2/PersianGulf/Madagascar/Cuba2011/VietnamSea and the default of WOI). First I tried it (the original map , the one with DESERT.CAT added) but, unfortunately, the campaign is unplayable. Do you know by chance if The Malvinas campaign was ever remade after 2008 patches ? If not , it's a shame....that conflict had really big potential.

ok I will, here you go.Mentor_DATA.ini and thank you once again. You helped me in the past with that SU-25 (plane was tipping on a side slowly in time) and you help me now again.

well actually it literally flips forward, with no shifting in sides...It simply falls in its...nose a sort of speak. I guess I have to fiddle with the main gear rolling radius ? Thanks anyway for the insight, now I am no longer in the dark when encountering this sort of problem.

oh I see, now is crystal clear, so it's just an eyecandy piece. Good to know. Thanks.

I managed to see what happens seconds before plane explodes. It bounces slightly and enters, tilting, into the ground at a 45 degree angle and explodes...I tried it with stock terrains and it does the same...Also the airfields.ini files are in the terrain folder as Wrench instructed in an old thread but it didn't help.

I tried recently some planes which were in the Malvine campaign pack, which I guess is a pre-2008 patch thing. They all work well in WOI except one, the TC-34C Mentor which explodes in the first second on the runway. What is the cause of sudden explosion of the aircaft in game ? I thought first that maybe it's old model etc , but the others , from the pack are too, so it is supposed to work. What went wrong I wonder...?

ok then, it sounds so easy, I even now can't believe how simple it was. Thanks for confirmation.

I know what a refuling basket/pod is (in reality), I didn't know what it does in game. So using it (attaching to your plane's wings) would it give you infinite fuel or ....? I ask that cause you weren't specific.

What is that a refuelling pod in the game ? Act as a pod but in the same time makes sure that fuel never ends ? I missed when such thing launched and I don't know how to use it. I need a little help here please.

well first it was a little confusing for me too but I managed to coexist with the new system. I guess adapting is the answer to your problem.

" remove any and everything from the Aircraft or GroundObjects folders ..." I thought of that but I thought also that the game itself, meaning the CAT which holds aircraft, if NOTHING (which it packed already inside its archive) is there, then it will override bringing in the game whatever plane it has in the archive and I have deleted them from the folder. Are you sure that CAT won't get out of its sleeve this trick ? PS - Does that CAT archive utility work for SF1 series files too ? or is it made for both ?

Does exist an utility to make CAT archives ? I would need one to make sure that no other planes from default CAT mixes with my single player missions.

exactly my thought

sorry, it was a typo, IT WAS... CF-184 Super Tom Cat. Here is the website which claims that is real, though I very doubt that: http://canadianpower.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat http://canadianpower.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Navy http://canadianpower.shoutwiki.com/wiki/VFH-855_"Wolfpack"_Heavy_Fighter_Squadron It can't be true what they claim, I checked on wikipaedia and other trustable sources, but this is my favorite: " In short, the Supercat became a world beater, a 4.5th+ Generation fighter aircraft that in exercises even defeated USAF F-15C and Indian Su-30MKI jets. It's thrust vectoring meant it was the most maneuverable carrier aircraft of the time, with Canadian Supercats even managing to outfly smaller F/A-18E/Fs and F-16C/Ds with ease. The US Navy had in fact ordered their own units as the F-14E Super Tomcat, built by Grumman but with many Canadian parts "

So it was not just me and a broken software, good to know. Kevin, I was afraid you were gonna say that. I hoped it was in ANSI. Too bad. However why are now the LODs locked ? What can you do with them except modding and use them in SF1/SF2 ?

I tried to extract Object.CATs from SF2 NA (I used the CAT extractor for SF2) but I can't get them out. How can I extract the planes please ?

yeah, I heard rumours about that tried deal with Iran, it's true.

oh, I see, thank you for the tip.

Did ever canada got F-14s ? in 99,99 % articles show no such thing, but I found a wiki kindda website which says that Canada purchased some "cf-188 super tom cats" and says about purchasing some ex USA carrier etc. is this a fantesy or ...?

I see but I can't find it in download section. Could you, please, assist in tracking it or at least point me in the right direction ? (who made it, who has it , last known location of the file etc). I also checked other websites which keep SF1/2 files but no luck.

Is there any E-2 (X) Hawkeye model built ? I looked into Sf1/Sf1 download sections finding none, but I know that there are a lot of FM which are not here on the site. Just asking. If it exist and someone can provide it I want to make a new AWACS mode for it. Thank you.
