pcpilot

Now Ive got another issue and I have NO idea how it came about. Maybe you fellas can help with this. I have installed wrenchs nations and formations inis with this install. It was working fairly well. At least I had enemies to fight when the mission started, even if it was the same plane all the time, (Ki-43). But now, almost every CAP or intercept or fighter sweep mission starts with "mission accomplished". When I F6 my view around, there isnt an enemy in sight. What the flock over!!! I tried adding this line to the Solomons-V3_nations.ini as it wasnt there... [Nation006] NationID=216 Name=IJN DisplayName=Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force Alignment=ENEMY PlayerFlyable=TRUE Mercenary=FALSE PilotNameList=NamesJapanese.lst RankList=RanksUSAF.lst CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst Formation.Fighter=WW2GerFighter Formation.Attack=WW2GerAttack Formation.Bomber=SovietBomber Formation.Transport=SovietBomber Formation.Tank=USTank Formation.MobileAD=USAD PilotTrainingStandard=NORMAL GenderRatio=0 But it doesnt seem to have helped or hurt. What do I do to get my enemies back?

Raven, I think you are correct as I tried this and it lessened the darkness of the shadow. But then it occured to me that THAT may be the problem. So I set CastShadow=FALSE. It had been true. Now the box around the prop is gone. Thanks for getting me on the right track. Now to see if I can figure out the cockpit issue again. If you all have any suggestions Im open. :)

Whoa! Just tried something I hadnt thought of till now. I run a radeon 5670 video card. I have always set my visuals in the game to unlimited. Well, On a whim I tried setting them to medium and the prop anolomy is gone! Dont know why, any ideas? But glad thats fixed, and the game still looks pretty good. Edit: Seemed to work on one aircraft but didnt on others...soooo, back to square one...

Thanks for the replies fellas. This is SF2, 2V, 2E, 2I with both expansion packs patched to Dec.2010-B. I didnt go any higher last because last time it just screwed tohe pooch when I did. Shoulda backed up eh? LOL! Didnt think a later patch would change any thing significant after reading the readme's on the thirdwire site. I have found out that converting to bmp does fix the skin issue. Thank you for that info! Still puzzling over the cockpit and propeller issue.

I decided to try yet again to make a PTO install. I guess I just love trying to fix bugs, lol. But this one has me stumped. I recently downloaded several of wrenchs' PTO aircraft packs; the Ki-41's, the F4F's, etc. Thought it would be nice to have the updated aircraft and maybe save some headaches. However, in just about every one of them, the skin does not show, only a black version of the old white texture when no skin was on the plane. Ive looked over the readme's, the ini's, etc. and can find nothing wrong. There was also a couple other issues like no cockpit, or cockpit angle wierd, or propeller shadows at certain angles on the solomons map. Any ideas? Using Win7 Home, AMD quad core cpu, Radeon 5760 w/ 1 GB DDR5 ram, 8gb 1600 RAM. Thank you for your time and any help.

Being rescued myself off San Fransisco back in '91, I can vouch for this man's comments about being prepared and thinking about things BEFORE they happen; ie, considering possibilities. Only a fool thinks it couldnt happen to him. And when your family or friends, or even just someone else is with you, your responsibility to act wisely only grows. And yes, God is gracious to those who consider him. Good story, thank you Fubar. PS. Oh yeah, read the directions BEFORE your in trouble, land, air, or sea.

Thank you Lt. I did update to latest patches. I also found that for some reason several effects were missing. I added them in and Im back in business. Thank you for the reply.

I decided to give SF2 another go. Did a Pacific WW2 install. Noticed that my bombs dont have any effects, they just disappear into the ground. This seems to apply for just about all the bombs big or small. CBUs still seem to work but the nukes dont. The rocket effects are different also. Not the usual appearance. Did the weapon pack or effects pack change something? Any suggestions?

I really dont know what else to do with these games so would like to sell them to someone who will enjoy them. Please fell free to make me an offer via PM.

Apparently, you are correct. Found out I still have a steam account and this game is still listed. Didnt remember this so-called "feature". Probably one of the reasons I never got into the game and steam. My apologies everyone. there are 7 games for sale...

I am currently selling a bundle of my gently used PC games... The list includes... 2 copies of Call of Duty II Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood Armed Assault Unreal Tournament 2004 Blitzkreig II Dungeon Siege II Strategic Command by Battlefront All these games are in their original packaging with the exception of Blitzkreig II. All are in excellent condition with minimal to no scratches. And a number of them include their manuals, etc. Armed Assault has also the patches and a number of addons on an additional cd included. There are 8 games total. I have photos of most of them I can email you and can photo the rest if you wish to look at them prior to purchase. I am asking $20 plus shipping. Shipping can be via media mail or perhaps priority mail. I would like to do the transaction thru paypal but will accept a money order or check which of course must clear first. Thank you for your time.

YEEEHAAAAWWWWWW!!!! Downloading now...

I saw this and thought of all you "eel afficiondos" out there...lol. Christmas eel You know...we need an eel emoticon.

Theres no such thing as two weeks. Its a ethereal mythological cunudrum that doesnt exist.

Yeah, ima kid too. Something about the pixar movies seems to hit a cord and bring back good memories. Maybe the movies are written by folks who remember what it was like to be a kid when you still could be one. Loved Toy Story 1 & 2, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, and the first Cars. Cant wait to see this Cars 2 and TS 3. Oh, to be a kid again...sigh...

Wishing your wife the best Dave. Congrats also to you Storm.

Congratulations Nesher! Well done on seeing it thru. Good luck in your new career whatever you choose.
