I've tried that mate, I still had no joy.

I've checked the spelling and it all looks fine to me. Here's a screenie from the Arctic version so you can see what's what. Cheers

Ok mate, I'll now take a peek. Cheers

Hi Russ, I didn't either mate, I simply copied the NADR fuel tank folder three times, painted the bitmap to either arctic, grey or desert in each, then just renamed all the stuff inside. I then opened the weapon editor to add them to the sim, so I didn't actually edit anything using the WE program. When I open the Weapon Editor they show up ok, but just ain't doing the same in the sim! Actually your post could read two ways, do I need to edit them in the Weapons Editor and they'll show up, or should I not edit them and then they'll show up ok?

Yeah the Bronco is a sweet aeroplane! :yes:

That would be very useful, could you elaborate a little further please?

Ingress to a CAS mission in support of allied troops in Norway.

Does anyone know if there was ever any grey/green camo RAF Germany skins for the Tornado GR.1 package please? It would be a great addition to the WOE/SF2 Europe versions as the jet served for many years at Laarbruch and Bruggen with 2, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 20 Squadrons. 9 Sqn is already represented, but the other units would be nice too! Does anyone know if the Hunting Engineering JP233 sub-munitions dispenser was made for this too? I'm surprised that there's not an Arctic camo scheme for a 1 Sqn Harrier GR.3, unless I've missed it! I've got the Snowy Norway scenery loaded on SF2E, and it would be great to fly the GR.3 there as 1 Sqn would've deployed to Norway if the Cold War had turned hot. Cheers

That's great, thanks!

Hi, How do you get rid of the radar display in the top right hand corner of the screen please? I've tried the usual method of extracting the HUDDATA.ini from the relevant CAT file, and setting the Height and width to zero, but it's still there! [Display004] DisplayType=RADAR PosX=0.865 PosY=0.015 Width=0.125<-------setting WIDTH= and HEIGHT= to 0 will remove the large Aldiss sight in the upper right. Height=0.16666667 Alpha=0.60 InitTime=2.0 Cheers in advance.

Thanks Snapper that's exactly what it was. All working good now!

I've just bought SF2 Europe and I'm still ironing out the issues, however this one's a real mystery! The Brimstone missiles are appearing the wrong way round on the Typhoon, however they're fine on the Harrier and Tornado. Anyone have a clue how to fix this one please? Cheers

Yep that's fixed it, cheers for the help!

I've also found this problem, they tend to hit where the target was at the time of the launch, hence missing a moving target even when fired 2 miles out. A stationary tank is no problem though. Like many things this was never a problem in the old SF Gold or WoE.

As soon as the fix worked, I placed the solution on the knowledge base pages for others to read. It'll hopefully save some head scratching in the future!

I've always flown on the "normal" settings. In my haste to type up the topic post, I should mention I'm using SF2E. I've tried all of the above to no avail, except seting the HUD to hard. Like romflyer I still like to have the red target squares (a tad unrealistic, but that's my preference), so setting this to "hard" is not an option. As I said in my opening post, I'd already tried setting the radar width and height to 0 with no success. This trick worked fine in the original SF series, but somehow the sim over rides this in the SF2 series which is a bit of a mystery to me! I've tried Russo's EasyAvionicsdata.ini suggestion too, again it had no effect in the sim. Thanks for the help anyway guys!

I had WoE and SFG set up on a Vista machine, and last week the whole thing stopped working. It just kept sending my PC into a tailspin to the point even ctrl+alt+delete made things worse! I tried a new clean install and the same thing kept happening so I downloaded the second generation of WoE and now it works fine, hopefully it'll stay that way. I would stay with XP for now if I were you. :yes:

UCAV's do have a place in the modern inventory, operations in Afghanistan have certainly proved their worth. I'm not so sure whether they should replace pilots altogether though.

For some reason there appears to be a problem when installing the Brimstone 3 pack into the SF2 series. The data.ini file gets messed up and results in the weapons being shown back to front on the launch rails. To fix this problem simply go to your modded weapons folder and open the folder 'BrimStone3Pack'. Open the 'BrimStone3Pack_data.ini' file. Replace the attachment lines with these ones. Attachment01Position=-0.215000,-0.004500,-0.059000 Attachment01Angle=0.000000,-3.880005,0.000000 Attachment02Position=0.215000,-0.004500,-0.059000 Attachment02Angle=0.000000,-3.880005,0.000000 Attachment03Position=0.000000,0.082900,-0.112600 Attachment03Angle=0.000000,-3.880005,0.000000 This should fix the problem. Many thanks to Kowalski for the brains behind this fix!

Those Maverick rails are by default and not something I've done, so I agree they're a bit of a mystery. I've just changed the parameter from Attachment02Angle=0.000000,-167.876633,0.000000 to Attachment02Angle=0.000000,-3.876633,0.000000 and that seems to have fixed it! Many thanks for the help!

Ok this is getting really weard now. I uninstalled the Brimstone3pack using the weapons editor, and then deleted the folder. I've re-installed it but I'm still getting the same issue. If I fly a CAS mission on the range I get this loadout (looks like Maverick rails to me, rather than the proper Brimstone rails), and I have to actually select the weapons in the load out screen. If I fly the CAS mission over Germany, I get the Brimstone loadout defined in the aircraft's LOADOUT.ini with the correct rails but the missiles back to front like this! I've designated the Brimstones in the Harrier LOADOUT.ini too, and the same thing is happening. Really odd as I never had any issues with this in SF Gold. I'm guessing it's a problem with how the weapon is displayed on the rail. When you fire the weapon, it then displays correctly, fires forward of the aircraft and hits a target correctly.

I thought I had, as it's been installed with the SF2 weapons editor. Here's the lines from the Typhoon LOADOUT, followed by the data file of the installed Brimstone launch rails. [Attack] Loadout[01].WeaponType=Meteor Loadout[01].Quantity=1 Loadout[02].WeaponType=Meteor Loadout[02].Quantity=1 Loadout[03].WeaponType=Meteor Loadout[03].Quantity=1 Loadout[04].WeaponType=Meteor Loadout[04].Quantity=1 Loadout[05].WeaponType=ASRAAM Loadout[05].Quantity=1 Loadout[06].WeaponType=ASRAAM Loadout[06].Quantity=1 Loadout[07].WeaponType=Brimstone Loadout[07].Quantity=3 Loadout[07].Racktype=BrimStone3Pack Loadout[08].WeaponType=BrimStone Loadout[08].Quantity=3 Loadout[08].Racktype=BrimStone3Pack Loadout[09].WeaponType=BrimStone Loadout[09].Quantity=3 Loadout[09].Racktype=BrimStone3Pack Loadout[10].WeaponType=BrimStone Loadout[10].Quantity=3 Loadout[10].Racktype=BrimStone3Pack Loadout[11].WeaponType=BrimStone Loadout[11].Quantity=3 Loadout[11].Racktype=BrimStone3Pack Loadout[12].WeaponType=BrimStone Loadout[12].Quantity=3 Loadout[12].Racktype=BrimStone3Pack Loadout[13].WeaponType=Typhoon tank Loadout[13].Quantity=1 [WeaponData001] TypeName=BrimStone3Pack FullName=BrimStone 3-Pack ModelName=BrimstoneLaunchRails Mass=55.000000 Diameter=0.203200 Length=1.600000 SubsonicDragCoeff=0.200000 SupersonicDragCoeff=0.770000 AttachmentType=UK SpecificStationCode= NationName=RAF StartYear=1999 EndYear=2020 Availability=2 BaseQuantity=25 Exported=FALSE ExportStartYear=0 ExportEndYear=0 ExportAvailability=0 WeaponDataType=6 WeaponsRackType=TLR NumWeapons=3 LoadLimit=51.000000 LengthLimit=1.810000 MaxFuelAmount=0.000000 Attachment01Position=-0.215000,-0.004500,-0.059000 Attachment01Angle=0.000000,-167.876633,0.000000 Attachment02Position=0.215000,-0.004500,-0.059000 Attachment02Angle=0.000000,-167.876633,0.000000 Attachment03Position=0.000000,0.082900,-0.112600 Attachment03Angle=0.000000,-167.876633,0.000000 I have the racks in the weapons folder. Do the rack types need to go into a seperate folder away from the actual weapons? Cheers.

Is it still possible to have Bunyap's superb range in the new SF2 series? It was always good to practice weapons delivery techniques etc and a very valuable addon.

I've got it installed and working properly, I assumed from a post above there was a tweak needed to get it working in SF2E. It just installs as normal, but the installer creates a "Terrain" folder with the two ranges enclosed. These need to be moved to the "Terrains" folder for the sim to see them, then you're good to go!

Hi, I have 11 CAT files in SF2E, so if I want to extract xxxxx.ini I assume I have to now extract all 11 CAT files before finding the .ini file I'm after? Is there a list of what is in each of these CAT files please? I get the impression things were a little simpler in the original series regarding this!
