I've migrated well over 100 weapons from NF4 to NF4+ with no problems...I can say with pretty high confidence that there are no weapons problems inherent in SF2E.

The only thing that would make this interesting for me from a simming standpoint is if there were very detailed pre-mission planning elements.

Here you go:

You should post this over on the ThirdWire forum so TK knows there is demand for another payment method.

NATO Fighters IV+ Jousting, 1986-style. Both aircraft are AI--the two flights exchanged numerous BVR shots before it came down to this. The MiGs lost.

TK has been very clear that cost is the issue. I also hope that someday he will be able to create a "2nd Generation" combat sim (SF through WOI being 1st Gen, SF2 being 1.5 Gen).

AD's Japanese Aircraft pack has an A6M2, A6M5, Ki-43 and G4M2: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=744 All are excellent quality. Dave is no longer modding but I think he ould be proud to have AvHistory flight models for his aircraft. Russ has done the P-47M and a Bf-109E. I know you need a G but either he or another modeler may be interested in upgrading the E to a G. He is still active so you may want to drop him a line. His stuff is excellent. The Mirage Factory has an excellent F4U floating around somewhere...I think it is an F4U-7 but may be easily backdated to the -4. Bpao would be the person to contact about that. And of course everything by Wolf-257 is really nice.

The only thing that has been mentioned is that the possibility of single-aircraft add-ons is being considered. Anything else is probably out of the question--especially anything that would require new programming such as task forces.

LOL! No, I didn't intend it to be a trick. I asked that particular question because that is what I see as being the main impediment to the success of selling single-aircraft packs. I would buy them just because I am a completest, but I'm curious what others think.

TK said here: http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6628 That he is at least considering selling single-aircraft mini add-ons for SF2E. I wanted to propose the following questions and see what you think about this: Do you like this idea in general (buying add-on aircraft one at a time)? What is the most you would be willing to spend for each individual aircraft add-on? Would you buy such an add-on even if there was already a freeware model available?

I think that first appeared for the WOV F-4J.

Rgr that. The only tough part was figuring out that I needed to set up a SAM radar as part of the same network as the launchers. Once I modded the Straight Flush into the Flat Face and Tube Arm things started coming together... One funny thing...I wish I had taken a screenshot, but since the SA-3 launcher was called "SA-3" and the missiles themselves were also called "SA-3" the launcher would show up in the game with four copies of itself loaded in place of the missiles! But I think for the purposes of NF4+ I will let the game place the SAMs randomly and not assign any specific ones. Thanks again to everyone who shared the infos!

No, you're grasping at straws trying to defend your indefensible party. Look at the history of Democrats and the military, the meals-on-wheels programs, etc. With regard to the Haditha Marines, yes, its so great for them that they were found innocent of charges leveled at them by Iraqi insurgents. Now their careers in the Marine Corps have been destroyed. Great job by your boy Murtha and his cronies. And Dems don't do squat for returning vets. I'm interested to see you continue to try and weave your way through this one.

The concept of not putting yourself in harms way is often overlooked. The most basic lesson in self defense training is to be aware of who is around you and what they are doing, and not to go to places where you expose yourself to danger.

You are confusing the willingness to use the military with respect for the military. I think its safe to say that the party that is more eager to deploy our troops could have less respect for those same troops. Also, I love your pithy little aside about Vietnam "with Nixon continuing it." What the f*ck do you expect? He was elected in the middle of the war! JFK (Dem) started it, LBJ (Dem) escalated it and oversaw the deaths of 50,000+ Americans, and Nixon got us out in '73 with a semi-honorable treaty that the North then proceeded to break immediately. And Lexx of course knows that the Soviets had no respect for the individual soldier, throwing their lives away by the millions.

Don't forget Murtha throwing the Haditha Marines under the bus before any facts were known. Note: they have all been acquitted. Don't forget that the Democrat-controlled media has completely covered up the fact that a US Army recruiter was killed by a radical muslim in Little Rock (just an hour and a half from me) last week. Hell this list could go on forever.

Bulls**t.

Thanks to all of your info I was able to get the SA-3, SA-9 and SA-11 working correctly for NF4+. I had to create Flat Face and Tube Arm radars for the SA-3 and SA-11, and set the SA-9 as MOBILE_AAA. Now there are quite a few SA-9 scattered around in addition to the newer SAMs. This ads an element of difficulty because if you go low to avoid the big SAMs, you'll be down in the kill zone for the SA-9 which is infrared (and optically sighted) and thus invisible to your RWR!

Par for the course. This guy is labour, same as our Democrats, which means socialist. All socialists loathe the military. Now that I think about it, this is a rare moment of honesty from the left.

That's great guys, thank you both!

How do you go about getting SAMs to show up on a map? Looking though the terrain targets INI I see entries for the following: SAMRadar SAMLauncher AAA I don't see any entries for mobile SAM systems? Is there a target type that I can add so that SAMs defined as "MOBILE_SAM" will be randomly placed, or do I need to change them to "MOBILE_AAA" or "STATIC_AAA"? Thanks!

Funny thing...after fiddling with the decals.ini I found that the setting "DecalMaxLOD=1" was the problem. When I set it to "DecalMaxLOD=2" everything works fine. Not sure why this became a problem in the new version...

Well, I will make a deal with them: I'll "acquire" the projectors and PCs, all they have to do is provide the software!

These flight models are not optimized in any way. I did the minimum necessary so that the AI could fly the planes. Keep that in mind.

I can post some info tonight...the next step in the NF4 conversion to SF2E is to apply your decal upgrades to the Harriers and other planes. I'll post any problems encountered.
