Here's the Nose Gear data straight from my install - It sits perfectly for me [NoseGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR Retractable=TRUE HideGearNode=FALSE DeployTime=5.90 AnimationID=1 DragArea=0.20 ModelNodeName=FrontStruct ShockAnimationID=2 ReverseShockOrientation=FALSE ShockStroke=0.308 SpringFactor=0.50 DampingFactor=3.00 WheelNodeName001=FrontGear01 WheelNodeName002=FrontGear02 RotationAxis=X-Axis ReverseWheelRotation=FALSE RollingRadius=0.246 CastoringWheel=TRUE CastoringNodeName=pivotav Steerable=TRUE MaxSteeringSpeed=41.15 Locking=FALSE MaxSteeringAngle=45.0 InputName=YAW_CONTROL ControlRate=1.0 HasBrakes=FALSE BrakingCoefficient=0.99 RollingCoefficient=0.05 MaxDeploySpeed=128.61 CompressGearOnRetraction=TRUE MaxLoadFactor=7.0

The bottom one is an entry in the Eurofighters Avionics.ini (or what ever a/c is using the Eurofighter cockpit) - The line you are after is this (right at the bottom of the file) - [HUD_SteeringCue] SymbolType=STEERING_CUE ImageFilename=cockpit\HUD\SteeringCue.tga ImagePosition=0.0,-0.125 ImageSize=0.025 <--------------------------------------------------------------- VerticalAlignment=TOP That size is fine for me, yours will currently be a much bigger number. What I can't seem to be able to do is move it from the centre of the screen and put it at the top along the compass rose regardless of how I edit the position/size/alighnment etc. It just stays in the centre

Hi there, does anyone know who created this pilot so that I can properly credit the modder?

Old Diego has let me know that the F-16 Pilot used in the pack was his and I have his very kind permission for it's use. I also apologise for not trying to find out who was the owner before uploading the pack.

The new pack is uploaded, just awaiting a mods approval!

Doh, due to stunning lapse in concentration (a.k.a playing Gran Turismo 6) I forgot to add the actual Aircraft to this upload A new pack is being uploaded as I type, I'll update this post when it's complete, sorry for the mistake!

View File Vought F-118 Raider - Israeli Air Force Pack ************************ Israeli Air Force F-118 Pack for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 ************************ This pack contains several Israeli Air Force versions of the Vought Raider F-118 - created by Cocas (Daniel) - and it has been tested on a May '13 fully merged install of all 5 games. It requires SF2:Israel for the A/C serial numbers to show up on the tails, however, it will run without SF2:I but the tails will be blank. ***Aircraft can be found under "VOUGHT F-118" in the In-Game Menu*** History -------- In 1974 the USAF started the Light Weight Fighter competition for a new light combat Fighter to complement the F-15A Eagle and in this version of History the winner was..........The Vought F-118A Raider. The aircraft's low cost and advanced design meant that it was exported widely, with Israel in particular buying a sizeable amount and modifying them well beyond what the original designers had ever thought possible. This pack is designed to roughly mirror the service history of the F-16C/D/I so the design of a Blk30 F-118 is fairly similar to that of a Blk30 F-16 for example. Installation ------------- Unzip then copy and paste the Effects/Flight/Objects folders into your Mod folder, usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 **or whatever yours is called**. AIRCRAFT ------------ Aircraft Specific Info - ---------------------- Single Seat - Vought Raider F-118C 'Netz-A' ('87 - '94) - Initially designed as a fighter with a limited Air to Ground capability the IAF transformed it into a capable multi-role aircraft, able to dominate the airspace whilst improving the original designs limited Air to Ground capabilities. Vought Raider F-118H 'Barak' ('95 - '30) - This upgrade saw everything from the engine to weapons to the avionics all upgraded, especially with the addition of Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFT's) to allow the pylons to be fully loaded with the latest smart weapons instead of fuel tanks creating a true multi-role aircraft whilst still allowing it to retain a significant Air to Air capability should the need arise. Two Seat - Vought Raider F-118D 'Netz-B' ('87 - '94) - Originally designed as a trainer the IAF transformed it into a superb Strike & Wild Weasel aircraft. More importantly for the IAF, the 2nd crew member also turned it into a deadly CAS aircraft. Vought Raider F-118I 'Barak II' ('95 - '04) - This upgrade saw everything from the engine to weapons to the avionics all upgraded, especially with the addition of Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFT's) to allow the pylons to be fully loaded with the latest smart weapons instead of fuel tanks which, with it's 2nd crew member and advanced avionics, makes it ideal for the Wild Weasel role. Vought Raider F-118M 'Sufa' ('05 - '30) - This massive upgrade once more saw everything uprated, from the engine to the weapons it can carry and, with this version, the avionics were all hugely upgraded, allowing it survive far behind any future enemy's lines, a mission for which it was especially designed. In addition to the CFT's fitted on the Barak II there was now a Spine Rack fitted to store all the extra Avionics required to make this the most advanced F-118 in Israel's inventory and possibly the deadliest aircraft in the Middle East. OTHER INFO ----------- Issues - ------ Python Missiles & Fuselage Pylons - Due to the size of the rear fins on the Python Missiles then can sometimes touch the stores put on the inboard wing pylon. MApping - The mapping is difficult around the nose with some skin stretching. The USAF Euro skin was really tricky, so much so that I wanted to punch a thousand cute kittens in their cute little faces by the end, after spending hours/days trying to get the edges to match up! So sadly some of it's not as good as I'd like but the PS templates are out to so hopefully you can improve on my skin. Weapons - PLEASE download Ravenclaw007's weapons packs, they are truly fantastic and include many unique Israeli weapons which haven't been included in this pack. *******If you find any issues or find that I've got something wrong please contact me on CombatAce - http://combatace.com/user/64030-ianh755/ ******************* THANKS -------- Cocas for creating the 3D model and then patiently modifying it every-time I asked for any/every crazy little thing! Ravenclaw007 for creating the superb F-16 cockpits used here with his kind permission, the Ejection Seats and yet again the stunning weapons he makes and I continue to enjoy using. RussoUK2004 for the use of his Hawk T1A models Damage DDS files which I used to create the damage DDS files for this pack. Spillone104 for his Improved Afterburner Effects. Old Diego (Diego Lozano) for the use of his F-16 Pilot. ************************************************************************************* Have fun and thanks for Downloading.............................................IanH ************************************************************************************* Submitter ianh755 Submitted 12/08/2013 Category What If Hangar

The pistol round could hit one of the missiles setting either the warhead off (less unlikely) or causing the rocket motor to explode (more likely) damaging the helicopter so it had to turn away.

A lot of the original UK Black Friday companies were US based (Amazon, Asda/Walmart etc) and once UK companies saw those profits they all jumped on the band wagon.

Russo - If you do it that way then there's no weapons for the AI wingmen in the Loadout page as they can only load what *your aircraft" i.e the Hawkeye can, which is none. SkyViper - You'll need to select a single mission as the fighter that you want your escort to be i.e If you want F-14 escorts then you have to select a mission as an F-14 and then, in the Loadout Page, change *your* aircraft to the Hawkeye etc. Just be careful to select a Mission type that the Hawkeye can actually do i.e Recon and don't select a Strike or Attack etc mission as you won't be able to select Hawkeye for that etc. The only way to call support is by using the Mission Editor (either came as DLC or came with EXP 2 DLC) and you can can select "Support" options in there. As for better models etc the TMF pack is a fantastic update and well work getting - http://combatace.com/files/file/12327-tmf-f-14-tomcat-superpack/ and the Update - http://combatace.com/files/file/13180-tmf-f-14-tomcat-super-pack-v121-update/

I've read it was designed for 8 R-77's but as it was never actually loaded with anything it's just pure guesswork by the authors I'd say.

PlayStation 3 500GB Slim with Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition, Logitech Driving Force GT Steering Wheel & Pedals and a special "driving" stand for the wheel/pedals to go on. As an ex-drifter IRL (450hp RWD R34 Skyline) who is now old and drives a diesel Ford I spent 90% of yesterday driving sideways around Tsukuba in Japan and either grinning like a Loon or raging whilst having a Tourettes attack, loved it!

Damn! In one of those "it's a small world" ways I'd talked to Paul as we were both R34 Skyline owners and had passed a few PM's about on the GTR Owners Club site after he'd 1st bought his.

SF2:NA is known as a system hog due to the terrain being a LOD (just like a plane etc) although a recent patch did improve the performance slightly. My O/C'd 4.6Ghz/GTX780 gaming rig still struggles at times yet runs ARMA 3 at 100FPS with everything maxed out. If you are doing an anti-shipping mission it's better and flying at 20ft above the waves as the Kuznetsov's AAA passes by you it looks fantastic!

Yeap it's very easy, open the "Options.ini" file you can see above and almost the very last line is this - [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=C:\Users\IanH\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe Editors=StrikeFighters2 now replace the Directory= with the location of your new one i.e my old one was this - [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=E:\SF2 Europe Editors=StrikeFighters2 and paste all your Mods into your new location, easy! However, you ***MUST*** keep the Options.ini file in its original C: location for this to work. Again hope that helps!

Unlike SF1 in SF2 ***ALL*** mods now get installed into the "Mod" folder which is here - "C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXX" where XXX is folder you want to put the Mod into - i.e StrikeFighters2 Europe or StrikeFighters2 Vietnam etc. Nothing gets put into the Program Folder like we used to with SF1. Here's what my SF2:E install looks like - "C:\Users\IanH\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe" Hope that helps, there's lots more info in the Read Me's for those Mods and in the SF2 knowledge base Section of this forum if you need any more help.

With only 3 recruits injured out of 33000 in service it's not the fault of the RAF or it's training techniques that meant that those 3 ended up damaging themselves whilst marching i.e they had weak bones etc. Thousands of other females and short males have passed through basic training without similar injury and the "Info" about them being "forced" into 30in paces is rubbish, stride length is not and has never been measured during RAF basic training. However, the lack of care they got from the medical staff "Just get on with it" etc even with 3 pelvic fractures, is sadly all too common in the RAF medical service. We can produce the best medics in the world for places like Afghanistan yet back at home a lot of medics (but not all thankfully) are pretty poor at their job, so much so it's a favourite topic of discussion - "What did the medics do wrong with you?" is a common daily conversation.

Blimey, this is an old fault from when SF2:NA 1st appeared, I didn't realise it was still out there! You need to edit the controls Default.ini file directly (C:\Users\YOUR-NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Controls) and NOT use the in-game editor.

B52 - As per usual with the UK Military it came down to cost and we're broke and can't afford to mod it We can't even afford to re-paint them either

I'm hoping that, due to the pretty sub-standard (for HBO) acting, this turns out to be a trailer made by the CGI company who were bidding on the contract to supply just the CGI (and not those actors!), rather than an actual trailer for the finished HBO series.

It's the max inlet temp thats the most important for engine damage. My Mach 4 "Testbed" (BAE Hawk ) used a max inlet temp of 2000'c without blowing up even though the Engine damage temps were still set to only 500-600'c so the higher the better!

Ace888 is working on some AMI skins for Bongodrivers SF2 Typhoon BETA if you don't mind waiting a while.
