    Autopilot works just fine, you're likely flying for one of the units based in airfields far from the game's playable world, as such you won't be able to land on such places. If you like to land, select a unit which is based in airfields closer to Iraq. You can only land in the airfields shown in the planning map screen, anything else outside of it only exists as AI-only off map airbases.

    Yes. I want to point out that TK removed all references to the (vaporware) Win10 edition of Strike Fighters 2. I think it's a clear sign that an update or newer version of Strike Fighters 2 is never going to happen.
  3. Menrva
    Strike Fighters 2 Win10 Edition has been vaporware for years, so many that Win10 already reached its end of life cycle and support. Even a Win11 Edition would be kind of late now, with Windows 12 apparently being not too far away. I doubt TK has the resources or the interest to update the PC games anymore. It is a huge pity, those games carry tremendous potential, and having them available for purchase at more affordable prices at a store like GOG or Steam would be better than what he's doing now. We've been beating this dead horse for so many years that, who knows, maybe a miracle happens and the horse wakes up.

    @saisran that sucks. Try installing the game outside of Program Files, Windows is more and more restrictive when executing applications installed in there. Hopefully that is enough of a workaround, otherwise we have a problem.

    A new welcome addition to the world of Strike Fighters!

    I can only understand, to build one requires a lot of time and work, it feels like a very time consuming and boring task. If you ever work on a new one, think that it could also be used for the F-35s with that additional canopy bow; much like what the developers did in the Joint Strike Fighter game from 1997, where the X-32 and X-35 literally have the same pit, just the latter with that cockpit bow.
  7. Menrva
    Is it the one I released in my F-35 package? It seems so. You're free to use it, but please keep the credits, the cockpit textures are not entirely my work. For this F-32 I actually wish we had something different without that upper frame, but it cannot be hidden through .ini data tweaks in this cockpit, it's all part of the same cockpit mesh. By the way, this old F-35 cockpit was made by Klavs81, who sadly passed away time ago.

    None so far. Unless you're in a hurry, I'd say let's wait and see what happens. If the digital store isn't restored at some point, we'll have to try contacting TK and ask him if the PC games are abandonware or not.
  9. Menrva
    Me too, but this doesn't mean it's acceptable. It's a disservice to other users and for those wishing to buy it. First of all, I hope TK is doing fine. Second, I hope the site comes back online and that we can get an explanation. We've had the feeling the games were abandoned by TK for years, time for ThirdWire to clarify their intentions about it.
  10. Menrva
    What the title says, I cannot get into ThirdWire's website. I can't download my purchases from the store anymore if I wanted to. This isn't looking good, I wish TK could explain what's going on.

    Time to move on.

    My best wishes to you, René. You've provided the community with fantastic creations. When I'm around here I'll make sure your contributions are properly credited if used or included elsewhere. As Wrench already said, stop by once in a while! You're part of CA's history among the greatest modders of Strike Fighters.
  12. Menrva
    Not possible, I'm afraid, game engine limitation. The game never supported helicopters, they exist with many workarounds as mods.

    What I denounced when opening this topic back in 2023 had nothing to do with CombatACE temporarily blocking free downloads (back then they still weren't blocked) which, by the way, have been reinstated months ago by the site's owner after spending his own money to update and keep the servers working. People stealing the work of modders and republishing it elsewhere as their own work is not excusable in any case. The very least would be to add the names of the modders involved in some credits list, which was not the case of what I denounced back in 2023. The internet has its own set of rules, but folks like you would rather have it running as a jungle, much like world leaders are doing right now with no dignity for human life. Topic is locked, I've had enough of these posts trying to defend unexcusable behaviors. Enjoy your ban, now the account will be gone for good like you desired and you won't be able to complain over the discovery of water and fire anymore.

    So sorry about this, but glad you're still with us, Volker. Wish you a total recovery, take your time, health comes first.

    Wonderful improvements over the original!
  16. Menrva
    @Viper63a you can remove me from the credits, I have nothing to do with the pilots' 3d models, I'm not a 3d modeler.
  17. Menrva
    Package has been updated to v1.2, now featuring correct flags for the FCU and Sotoa.
  18. Menrva
    Not possible as far as I know, you can't control the direction of a gun turret from cockpit view, no such functions exist in the game. The closest thing is having a separate bomb sight in cockpit view, Stary made a cool one in his Il-28 cockpit. In it, you could use autopilot and switch to the bombsight station for dropping bombs with it. Nothing to do with gun turrets though, that's not possible.

    I'm a great Ace Combat fan! Got in love with the series since I played AC04 as a kid, the first AC I ever played! It's arcade but it doesn't turn me off even when I play realistic flight simulators, it's the kind of game I usually go back to for the great stories, action and soundtrack, it's a rush of adrenaline. Looking forward to AC8!

    That DLL comes from SF2 North Atlantic. The other games you install must all be on the same patch level (July 2013), otherwise their executables can't run DLLs from other versions. I never had such an issue, so that's all I can suggest.
  21. Menrva
    Operation Desert Storm is a mod, not a game. The download page clearly states that the mod requires to have three Strike Fighters 2 games installed.
  22. Menrva
    Never had the chance to interact with 331KillerBee, his works available in the downloads section have been important for the community over the years. My deepest condolences for your loss.
  23. Menrva
    As yakarov79 said, it's projected on the HUD, but apparently due to a typo of my tweaks in the cockpit.ini files it doesn't show up. This is a fix until a new version of the mod is eventually uploaded, unpack and replace the original files inside the ODS30AE mod folder:MiG23_Pit_Fixes.zip The typo has been fixed for all MiG-23 variants, but the radar should only show up in the MF and MLA variants.

    I have no clues as to why it doesn't work on your end. The installer queries Windows' registry keys to read the path of your SF2 installation (in particular it looks for the InstallLocation key, check image below). Once the path has been retrieved, the installer then looks for the stock game files in the game's folders, if one of the required .CAT archives is missing it cannot proceed with proper installation. EDIT: Actually, on a closer look to your screenshot, it seems you do not have Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic. I'm afraid that's one of the required games and you're missing it, the download page clearly states which games are required by the mod.
