Reinstalling is useless cuz game not changes own files. Only in mod folders.

The problem with fuel is most often in the ini file in the engine section and in the fuel section. Some aircraft can fly on afterburner for tens of minutes so this is common issue. I did not install this plane, so I can’t say anything about the TMF F-14. The only thing I can say for sure is that you don’t need to waste time on reinstallation.

@citizen67 @bazillius I was able to get JDAMs on target, both the regular and the dual GPS/laser guided ones. The main learning was that I needed to fly higher and release closer to the target. They kind of have to free fall before the guidance system takes over and points the bomb toward the target. They don’t seem as maneuverable as the other GBUs, which I guess makes sense. Just don’t seem as safe as standoff precision munitions, since with these JDAMs I’m flying over the target. 

The game is a little unfinished. After initial success, the latest installment of the game did not live up to monetary expectations and the developer stopped supporting it. The guided weapon thus remained unfinished. So I advise you to play in the time period from 60 to mid-80s. All other aircraft and weapons are just for collection. Consider these as collectibles. The game will never be completed, but in those time periods it is a very good game

Does the game even support JDAM's? 

Yes and its easy to use. But........ all we cnow that its problem in the game. AI do not drop any smart bombs but only freefall bombs. 

Personally, I made a version of guided bombs for myself, converting them into dumb ones in one click. I want to throw them myself, I use one settings, I want AI to throw them and I use other. A very useful program for quickly replacing files and returning them to their original state. I did the same for AHM missiles to convert them into SAHM and back

1. JDAMs

 

As to JDAM. Lets look at its .ini look at this string. its mean that from your aircrafty to your target must be less than 15000 meters if to draw a stright line. But if you will be too close it will miss cuz MaxTurnRate=3.000000 and other data will start work when JDAM try to correct its path. the height and speed should also be enough. It is best to drop it from a high height at high speed and from afar.

The first thing you need to do is unpack all the ini files from the game. Next, you will use your favorite text editor, and in it you will search in all unpacked files and automatically replace the years of service expiration. Nobody thought that the game would be played in 2020, which is why all dates end in 2020. Everything needs to be replaced by 2040. Or 2070, if you are an optimist. After this comes the most tedious and boring step. You need to put all the ini files in their own places in the mod folder. It’s better not to immediately overwrite an already installed mod, but test it on a vanilla game. So you need to fix everything in the GroundObject, Aircraft, Weapons folders. This will be your template for all modifications of the vanilla game. Before installing any mod that assumes military action after 2020, take this template as a basis. Install the modification on top of this template. Change the dates again in the modification. Just be careful every time you press the Replace button. It’s very easy to ruin a modification in one click! Also pay attention that you need the program save all ini files only in ANSI or Unicode ONLY!! Otherwise, the game will stop working.

Do the same thing with Weapon Packs. You need to change ExportEndYear=2020 to 2040 , EndYear=2020 to 2040/ Search and replace. Try to run. nex step. Terrains. Missions. etc. search and replace. But be carefull and backup!

I've always played flight simulators. Since 1998. My favorites are Falcon 4.0 (FreeFalcon, OpenFalcon, BMS) FSX, FS2004. But I like Strike Fighters 2 because it's easy to mod. Modifying games, not only SF2, is my hobby. It calms my nerves. I love modifying while listening to music or watching a movie on the second display. For me this game mostley is not for playing, but rather as a collection of airplanes. Its too.. to arcade. No matter what game I start playing, after 20-40 minutes I already want to change something. I turn off a game and start looking through resources or seeing what I can add. The first game I started modding was Tank Platoon 2 in 1998

I love ugly aircrafts and iL-20 one of my favorite. Thank you for checking SAS for aircrafts and updates. Good found

Automation!! YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

I think MultiRes will stamp ugly monsters from original model and anyway we need to reduce weight and details of the model by hand. But looking at other old reduced LODs... why not. Thanks!

Thanks to LOKO for his time, thank you for sharing!!

completely reinstalling the game. Strange bug....... certain aircrafts.

It's not about the game, it's about some of the planes. If I'm not mistaken, it is impossible to use up all the fuel in to dry one of the F-35s for example. This is due to an error in the ini file of the plane. You will often encounter errors that are small but annoying. The most common mistake that bothers me is the discrepancy between the fall of the rockets and the target marker. I have to fix almost every plane which i want to fly CAS.

You will have to get used to the fact that you need to constantly fix something, even in a vanilla game

this is the price for modifiability.

If I understand you correctly, then you want to make another plane from the standard aircraft model, which is already in the vanilla game, by hiding parts in ini files and adding a fake pilot, and you want to know whether just a link to the LOD of the model will work, then the answer is yes. You can do this, and then you can post it here to share with us.

For examole look at this aircraft

Its made from vanila standart F-16A_Netz and in iniu have a link on the LOD

[LOD001]
Filename=F-16A_Netz.LOD
 

The Last Pic its foxing cool

Don't forget to remove the MiG-29SMT from your hard drive. I gave it to you by mistake because I thought you were my friend. Its, too, then it turns out, is “stolen.” From now on, I will send my planes more carefully. Not to everyone whom i like on first sight.

I don’t know what kind of eyes you read with, maybe your glasses are foggy. I specifically wrote NO ACTION NEEDED against your repack. I gave an example of how others pack and repack airplanes without following the rules. Now you somehow read that I am stalking you. On the contrary, I wish you creative success. You are realy strange person. realy.

You had the right to notify the admins that you didn't want me to include your aircraft in a package, I genuinely didn't notice you were not in the freeware licensing agreement.

I  persecuting you???? how? you said your opiniuon i said mine. and the hysteria began.

I no longer know what words to explain so that it is clear. I already wrote that you need to be consistent. Or don’t throw a tantrum that they flew over your landscape or don’t steal a dead person’s website.

And I, of course, did not expect such pettiness. Someone will record how they fly on my skin, post it on YouTube and earn a lot of money. Oh-oh-oh! Crime!!!!!!! POLICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

condones piracy and the violation of intellectual properties. Not to mention that I seriously doubt you made that 3d model from scratch yourself. Thank you for your understanding.

If you want, delete it of course.

If you find this model in the source MAX and tell me where I “stole” it, I will gift you my car. I have this model one in the world. i don't "condones piracy" . like I said, I just want people to play and enjoy the game. another user advise me to complain/ i did it as an example

just want to understand why  All modellers are equal, but some modellers are more equal than others. One modeler can steal, another modeler cannot steal. Readme files are required, but not required for some repackers.  I was shocked when the day after the death of a man, you, a fighter for justice, offered to steal his website. 

"I seriously doubt you made that 3d model from scratch yourself." Well, this was written solely out of resentment. You know that you are wrong and decided to offend me in this way too. It looks pathetic.

yes, and initially your mod was paid. All planes are free, but the modification itself was paid. Have we started to waste time on trifles and count money? I just showed you your own work as an example. Great job, very nice modification. But you don’t have to follow the rules, but for example I must.  Why were there attacks on my mods and not on yours? I'm wondering why this is so. And hysteria started from you not from me.

The freeware licensing for CA is here.

I am not in the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So BAN Menrva and delete this mod. (in reality i am happy you are using my aircraft and i want it will be shared to everyone in every pack. But rules are rules)

NO ACTION NEEDED IN REAL. As to mee do everything you want. Just curiouse double standarts

Where is my readme???????????????? I did redme for at least half an hour. I selected a font and searchd it from the Internet A LOT OF TIME!!. I'm proud of my readme for this plane, but it wasn't here. Ther was originaly and pictured. (i am kidding. i nunderstand that my read me not match the conception of the mod. but rules are rules........... rules say tht read me must be. So Please place it.)

This is my plastic scoop and my plastic bucket!

Facebook

Today you can no longer understand where people write sarcasm and where they write seriously.
As for Facebook, I want to say that because of censorship, complainers and offended , social networks have become impossible to use. Especially because of the offended and complainants from one country, I will not mention the name. They are professional offended and complainers. One day I wrote on Facebook when asked what I was doing, I wrote that I was listening to “Metallica Kill em All.” Guess what happened? you are banned for 29 days for inciting violence. This all happens because of complainers and offended . I had to stop using Facebook and switch to a national social network.

World rolls to shit and dictature. About freedom we will ask soon ah! what this word mean? do you remember? I am not. the whole world is following the path of global censorship and digital concentration camp.

which video? truly i understand nothing. i think we need to stop this useless conversation. See ya. i visited this topick again just cuz i v seen notification.

I also want to quote a license message from the SAS community that makes BAT for the IL-2.  There are writen literaly one string: “Do with this mod whatever fuck you want.” I don’t understand what kind of glory and money people want who initially make modifications for free.

I would be happy to transfer this money to you now. or rather, it is impossible to transfer such a small amount. You can transfer a whole amount, no less than hryvnia. I'm just really surprised by the conversation about that kind of money. This is downright petty. By the way, did somebody steal the site there already? otherwise I’m not following the conversation.

in the topic you started, where the site that everyone wanted to download (STOLE!), Capun was mentioned. So, ALL the planes of the Capun were STOLEN. All. Everyone. I once had a quarrel with a Capun and decided to remake one plane. I found the author. I wrote to him. It was a plane of FS2004. The author of that plane was surprised that I was asking his permission. He told me to do what I wanted, he was not interested in the fate of his plane. He doesn’t know any Capun and no Combatace website. He gave away his plane for nothing and forgot about it.

and you in seriouse want from me 0.33 kopiyca. haha i am realy foxed up alittle

I just want people to just enjoy the game. I don't want to do bullshit. There is complete crap going on in the world. Right now there are cruise missiles flying through my city and you have a more important problem. A plastic bucket was stolen. I've been modding games for a long time and recognize models at first sight. If I start listing everything, it will needed to delete half.
