If the mod is installed properly, then most likely it's the game running out of VRAM; in such case you need to resize the textures to smaller resolution, since your PC configuration struggles with 4k or 2k textures.

Joint Strike Fighter without doubts, its graphics engine was unrivalled. Too bad it's underrated and most don't even know about it, but there's no flight sim game that looked better in 1997-98, even in software rendering.

It depends on what you wish to have. Several of my mods are already released separately (realSKY, Nations Expansion, SF1 Menu Screens, Speech Enhancement, etc.). Other improvements are very specific to the ODS 30AE mod and its contents and cannot be ported in a general way.

You're not meant to mix the Desert Storm mod with other maps and mods. The ODS 30AE mod only contains aircraft, ships, tanks, AAAs and SAMs for Iraq and the Coalition forces. Other countries are not supported. My other maps are meant for generic installations where you can choose from a broader number of countries.

This is pointless because SF2's exes are already Large Address Aware, they don't need any changes in this regard.

Yeah, it's common these days, sadly. I joined CombatACE back in 2011. Back then I was only 16 years old. It never dawned on me to create double accounts just to overcome the limitation of five free downloads per day. I downloaded hundreds of GBs worth of mods with patience and time, but I also began doing my part; to mod the game myself and share my new creations with the community that had already given so much. These days it seems folks want things for free but, if something is not exactly how they'd like, they shit on that free stuff and on the creators providing such content, at times by even verbally abusing them (and I say this because I experienced it, more than once). Make the same people pay their hard-earned money on a heartless AAA game (the industry created tons over time) and they soon run to defend their purchase of mid, badly designed, commercial products. I have no solution to this problem. Sometimes I despise humanity so much that I hope mass extinction happens at some point. Some other times I use that same anger and energy not to destroy or despise, but to create new content, in the hopes of entertaining and bringing smiles to people throughout the world, being through the hardships of life. The above user is sadly annoyed by the fact he spent mere minutes to register on a website for free and to have to wait before stuff could be downloaded. Now imagine a modder, spending months on creating a terrain or a brand new aircraft 3d model with unparalleled level of research and attention to detail, and then sharing that creation for free without asking anything in return. Compared to the above case, should I be annoyed to never ever see just a thank you in return, actually with the risk of being verbally abused by some users? What I say applies to all modders of course, not just me. I also reckon not all users are like that though, and fortunately. Sometimes the nasty ones make more noise than the good ones, a dense fog of noise that creates nothing and destroys everything. My apologies for the long post, I felt like venting though I rarely did in all these years in public.

The AI is not capable of starting from the hangars, so no, this is not achievable. Only what I linked in the post above is doable, but even that brings its own set of issues and limitations.

Not really, it's only possible through scripted/manually created missions, but the game doesn't really support this feature and it is not possible to add it otherwise. More details here:

Update your software first, you need the latest version of WinRAR or 7-Zip. Complete instructions on how to properly install the mod here: Next time, please use the mod's support topic for questions (the one linked above), to open a new topic for such matters is not the best way.

More accurate ones certainly improve realism and accuracy in gameplay. Yes, some stock aircraft don't have precise ones. For the ODS 30AE mod I personally fixed and improved collision points and hit boxes for over 100 aircraft, both stock and third-party. It is no walk in the park and it isn't funny, so I won't suggest others to do the same for such an amount of aircraft. Thanks to mue's LODViewer we can edit them much easily and very precisely, but it takes times.

Nope, as far as I know. I had the same issue with some airports on some of the terrains I made. You can only approximate to either 239 or 240.

Yes, everything seems how it should be. Thank you for fixing it! No idea. I dragged the files with the relative option, nothing out of the ordinary. What I did though was removing the attachment and reuploading it, since I improved the textures in the package minutes after the first upload.
