Thanks Wrench, That will help out a lot and would greatly appreciate the BuNums to complete this R4D. I am back for my week of R&R:)

Here is a start on the R4D, VMJ USMC refuel supply. I work away and will have to finish decaling when I get back in a week:(

Thanks Wrench I sure will Cheers and Happy New Year:)

I enjoy YAP planes and ground objects. However you need to be able to modify them for your use. Paulopanz did a good job on the Nimitz aircraft carrier. However you need to get the carrier from YAP. Which comes with the A-6. This will be a good starting point to see if you think it will be worth it. I also enjoy the A-6 as well and most all there aircraft and ships.

Thanks Logan for the information. I will try this out on some MiG-23's. I have been using the APU-60-II on my MIG23's. Cheers thank you:)

Thanks delrey, I will try this one out as well. I am still practicing on some decals. Looks like I still need some practice.

Thanks fella's I am trying to make some decals. Just learning and maybe these will help...Cheers

Hi Gunny Sonic, All my SF2's are all modded. You will have lots of fun when you get back into it.

I am ex Navy and I did like having women on board our ship. However that quote from CL was probably pretty cool back in 1910. I sure hope the Coast Guard can find 7 missing Sailors? I will for sure keep my fingers crossed!!!!

Here is one I added for the Slava Class and is in my SF2 mod as a Paran ship. I disabled the flight deck to get more boats in the game. //----------------------------------- [Gunner10] SystemType=GUNNER GunnerID=10 TargetType=GROUND MissileRange=130000.0 MinMissileRange=300 PitchLimited=TRUE PitchAngleRate=10 MaxPitch=45.0 MinPitch=0.0 DefaultPitchAngle=10.0 YawLimited=TRUE YawAngleRate=15 MinYaw=0 MaxYaw=360 DefaultYawAngle=180 MissileLaunchTime=6.0 ViewportPosition=0.00,2.05,7.54 IndependentSearchChance=100 LookAroundChance=100 GunnerFireChance=100 GunnerFireTime=0.5 MaxMissilesInAir=2 YawModelNodeName= PitchModelNodeName= [sS-N-12Launcher01] SystemType=MISSILE MissileID=1 GunnerID=10 WeaponTypeName=P-500 WeaponPosition=9.0,40.0,6.5 ShowMissile=TRUE IndependentPitchMovement=FALSE ReloadCount=10 ReloadTime=15.0 MaxMissilesInAir=1 [sS-N-12Launcher02] SystemType=MISSILE MissileID=2 GunnerID=10 WeaponTypeName=P-500 WeaponPosition=-9.0,40.0,6.5 ShowMissile=TRUE IndependentPitchMovement=FALSE ReloadCount=10 ReloadTime=15.0 MaxMissilesInAir=1 //----------------------------------- //[Deck] //SystemType=FLIGHT_DECK //FlightDeckHeight=7.56 //FlightDeckLenght=42 //FlightDeckWidth=13.5 //LandDeckAngle=0.00 //LandingAimPoint=0.0,-82.0,7.56 //ParkingChance=0 //CollisionMesh=Slavadeck.LOD //MinExtentPosition=-6.75,-91.0,7.56 //MaxExtentPosition=6.75,-49.0,7.56 //[Cat1] //SystemType=CATAPULT //CatapultID=1 //StartPosition=0.0,-85.5,7.56 //EndPosition=0.0,-85.5,7.56 //LaunchTime=0.75 //LaunchEffect= //CatapultEffect= //ReadyAnimationID=1 //ReadyAnimationTime=2.0 Also here is the P500 that I moded as well.

Hi Everyone I am setting up some Tanks and Ships for battle and I am trying to work out what these settings are for? I have searched the Forum's and found nothing? Does any one Know and can give me some information? The settings bellow are from my T-55 in SF2I mod.

I have done it as well for my Destroyers. If you make one Gun for ground only. The Weapon System to something like below. The Destroyer will fall out of formation and engage the enemy Ship banging away until it reaches this distance. This is from the USS Ward I modified. IF you have a Destroyer with a helicopter deck you have to disable it in order to get more than one Destroyer in the game.

Thanks Welches I will for sure try this out and thanks for the information.

Ok I found some information on the Balistic settings. I got it answered at ATeam forum so I will pass it on to my self and others on the CA forum. Charles A-Team found that the higher the values, the more accurate is the weapon. Standard values for the RangeFinder= and BallisticComputer= are: Infantry, WW1 tanks, and tanks MGs:0 and 0. WW2 Tanks with main guns up to 88mm: also 0 and 0 Post-WW2 Tanks are: T-54 (100mm) and Centurion 8: 2 and 0 M-48 (90mm) and Centurion 13: 3 and 2 T-62 (115mm): 5 and 1 M-60 (105mm): 5 and 4 T-72 (115mm) and Centurion 10: 6 and 2 I did some testing my self and found that you can make your tanks competitive in combat. The only hold back is the terrain it self and a little adjustment to the velocity of the gun. Then you can come to the rescue with some airpower. This is for the M50 Sherman: I know it does not really hold that much ammo, However who likes running dry, [Gunner] SystemType=GUNNER GunnerID=1 TargetType=GROUND GunRange=2750.0 PitchLimited=TRUE PitchAngleRate=25 MaxPitch=20.0 MinPitch=-10.0 DefaultPitchAngle=0.0 YawLimited=TRUE YawAngleRate=35 MaxYaw=140 MinYaw=-140 DefaultYawAngle=0 GunMinAltitude=0.0 GunMaxAltitude=1500.0 YawModelNodeName=turret PitchModelNodeName=gun_barrel GunStabilization=FALSE GunRadarTracking=FALSE GunRecoil=65 ReloadGunAtAngle=FALSE RangeFinder=8 <--------------------------------------- This Line BallisticComputer=8 < --------------------------------- I am still experimenting with this number VisualSearchTime=2.0 ViewportPosition=0.0,1.18,4.62 IndependentSearchChance=100 LookAroundChance=40 GunnerFireChance=100 GunnerFireTime=0.5 [GunBarrel] SystemType=GUN GunnerID=1 GunTypeName=75MM_CN75_50 MuzzlePosition=0.00,4.31,2.17 MaxAmmo=262 Here is the Gun Data for the 75mm_CN75_50 [GunData001] TypeName=75mm_CN75-50 FullName=75mm CN75-50 Tank Gun Caliber=75.000000 ROF=10.000000 MuzzleVel=1120.000000 <----------------------------- raise or lower this number AmmoWt=14.750000 WarheadWt=10.450000 CartridgeWt=4.300000 Reliability=100.000000 Accuracy=80.000000 AddLight=TRUE MaxLightRange=2000.000000 FireColor=0.500000,0.450000,0.320000 GunFireEffect=TankGunFireEffect GunFireSound=TankGun EffectClassName=TankGunEffects EffectTime=0.100000 TracerTexture=Tracer3.tga TracerSize=0.200000 TracerDistFactor=0.002000 TracerLength=0.018000 MaxVisibleDist=6000.000000 MaxStreakVisibleDist=1000.000000 TimeFuzed=FALSE This information probably should have been put into the mod section.

In Desert plus or Desert4 terrain. I added these lines to the Targets in the Terrains folder Desert Plus for example here. I got the off sets from the Single mission edit. It does take some practice to get use to it.
