Well, last time I tried this gem it was under Win XP and it was quite freaky. The game was either way too fast or way too slow. I checked a few months (or was it years?) ago and it still had a small, albeit shrinking, community. They might have some solution for last gen O.S but I am quite skeptical. That's a shame, I miss the 1990's feel of some campaigns, and by the way Ukraine 1998 and Egypt civil war campaigns do have some echos nowadays... Edit: You may find some intell there : http://farc.3synergy.net/ And check this: http://farc.3synergy.net/files.php#FAWin7Batch Can't believe these guys were still active in 2013.

Trailers on CombatAce, now! Magnificient!

Take care, and fight!

Oh, my bad. The bad guys were South-yemenis. Not notherners. Should definitely be in, though. I don't know if the map covers South Yemen, but these guys were quite vocals and agressive (and supported arab terrorism before it turned religious too). They would have meddled if anything was to happen in the area. And that would change from the "generic" soviet planes.

Did it with Flight Simulator 4, I flew the Camel and landed on the carrier sailing right outside San Francisco bay. But as the game was not made for this, I don't know if that counts. First true carrier landing was in Aces of the Pacific. Didn't remember the aircraft, though... All of this using the keyboard, of course.

Cancer is not coming for you. You are coming for cancer! Beat him up and stay strong!

Bonne chance!

Great! So much 1939-1940 planes... Do I smell a Battle for France campaign?

Sweet, but that lion does not look very much like "middle easterny".

That news looks fake... For the moment. But hey, we are speaking about a dude that killed some high ranking general with mortar fire. So it's not that far-stretched. Of course, having lived in a dictatorship for a year, nuking them isn't a solution. But dealing with that "leadership" and/or allowing nor-Ko people to free themselves is one. They are way more aware than we think: news come from pirated DVD bought in China, wireless, etc... The catch is opposition is death, unless a whole people does it.

I indeed put my hands in files and did what's needed to fly AI planes, thanks to Nato Fighters MiGs. Regarding your question: F-5 were quickly discarded post-Qaddadi's coup. Imperialist planes, they were sold to Turkey iirc and the handfull of trained pilot were converted on mirages. MiG-25 indeed entered service in the 1980's, let's say my enthousiasm spoke. Your changes should remove MiG 17 & 19 and convert these on Mirage. Libyan Arab/People (the name changing came around that time) Air Force was at that time mirage dominated but soviet planes were more and more numerous. If you can, some skins could be great, especially egyptian "high viz" on the MiGs. Thanks, nonetheless, for a great mod. I had much fun with it during the holidays.

I may add that Su-22 and MiG 25 would be a welcomed addition on libyan side. :)

If I may add my two cents: AdA planes, and the occasional navy planes, played very often a quite serious and dangerous cat & mouse game with soviet aligned North Yemen. French Navy F-8 did have some very close calls and almost fired on several occurence. Communist North Yemen should be in! :)

Well guys, I'm in! Please, include me.

I concurr, the Libyan Air Force was almost from scratch a "Mach 2" one. Libyan Royal Air Force had only an handful of F-5. From the Qaddafi's days onward, there was this massive expansion with Mach2 planes: Mirages & MiGs.

It was. I again extracted and installed the said file this morning. Still no sounds!

Hey there, Thanks for this campaign! I've lived in Libya a few years ago and always eager to have such scenarios in my game. Currently, I can only play with EAF F4, it sounds newbish, but how can I make the other one flyable? Thanks!

Hey Jonathan! Thanks for this great mod, Formosa Strait was one of my favorites back in the days of SFP1! I've come across a small issue: some planes lack engine sounds, namely the MiG-17 & 19. Any clues?

Hey guys, it's been a while... I'm getting back in touch with SF2 games. Actually, I do own SF2 collection pack (the limited offer pack sold in 2009 that included SF2, SF2:Europe2 SFI2 & SFV2). I tried to install my owned SF2 expansions, but I failed: they want lastest update to be applied to the pack. The catch is... The patch installer does not accept to be applied on my SF2 install. Any ideas? Do I have to get back to the most early patches and install them one by one?! Thanks!

Thank you kindly guys! Baltika, I was not aware of that thirdwire installer thingy, and it did the trick in a very efficient fashion! Johnathan, I am aware of the latest TK game, I'll see when I have more money to spare if I am interested or not.

Hi, this is CombatAce member Emp_Palpatine, with special message for all of my friends here. CombatAce members do download lots of mods and fantastic third-party add-ons here at C.A. And the best one do produce them, taking hours and hours of their private life to do so. They sometime represent dozens of hours of downloads and of gigabytes in your installs. I urge all our CombatAce member to back up their datas, on any external HDD or DVD. STAY SAFE, BACK UP YOUR STUFFS! (Just a WWE-don't try this-like message as a CombatAce Back Up awareness Day message. I actually suffered from a severe computer crash last couple of weeks, hence my silence. BUT: I did have back ups of my favorite stuffs and mods, saving me download time, search time here on CA and CA's bandwitch. Back up, and you'll say:

Hi there guys. I remembered a topic here, "my KLU adventures". So I had the idea of starting my own in the same way. Well, if all goes smoothly from now, in a few weeks, combatace will have a new serviceman among its ranks. Namely myself. I've pondering the idea for two years from now actually. But I deemed my self not in shape enough, both physically and mentally (you know, the "will I be able to do this?" stuff) to do the step forward. Up until last fall when I made my mind and applied to the Navy.. Well, as I am supposed to have quite high qualifications because of my Master Degree and other bulls**ts (I am always quite sceptical regarding such assumptions linked to my so called diplomas), I've been oriented towards two specific position as an officer in French Navy, nicknamed "La Royale" (the Royal): - First one is called "[Naval] Operation control", a bridge based one. - Second one, the one I prefer, is "Air operation control". As I can't be pilot due to my sight and poor sciences and stuffs like this abilities, that's the closest to the planes I can dream of. Basically, working with the Carrier Air Group in planing missions. Heck, had I been 12 years older, I could have worked with such legend as the Crusader! Obsolete indeed, but what a beauty! So, I applied last september and waited (recruiting processus is quite long). I was finally called for an interview with a recruiting officer last November. Things went quite ok, and the Enseigne de vaisseau de première classe, i.e. Lieutenant, that met me was quite charming. Indeed she was, probably a trick to lure pure and innocent men like me. I was quite worried, because of my age (I tend to 27, wich is the maximum acceptable age) and a few other things. But questions were quite standard and she did not tried to trick me. Only checking my motivation, and if I was quite aware of where I was signing in. Following this, I was called for the medical examination following month! Step one, accomplished! Step two was a cake walk too actually. I worried before, because my sight especially. It's not that poor, I can live without my glasses. But it's far from perfect. I'm not applying to the Marine Infantry or to be a pilot, where you have to be perfect, but one of the two position has aminimum requirement. The nurse that dealt with me was once again charming and friendly. I am quite afraid of medical stuffs and white blouses, but she was very reassuring. Gods, I hate them hospitals... But I was declared, after a check by the Chief doc' "Bon pour le service", i.e. fit for service. Well, Chief doc' wasn't that friendly. She was very protocolar and I instinctly stiffened when she spoke. Was the first time I was quite militarily dealt with. And as I like discipline and visible hierarchy, it was no problem for me. I hated, the office "we are all friends" mood, with casual wears and stuffs. It has a name: hypocrisy. Regardless, I out of that world now, and I'm fit for service. Step 2 check. And now, we are nearing step 3: Last month, a recruiting commission scrutinised our applications forms and files (those were quite thick indeed, from parents details to intelligence enquiries, among other things) and shortlisted some of the candidates. And I've indeed been called for the last batch of examinations, along with others. Of course, there is more candidates than there is positions... Tomorrow, I'm leaving for a week in Toulon, one of France's war harbor. I will face some medical testing again. My english will be tested too (NATO, interroperability with our allies and stuffs), we'll visit docked units (if any... F.Navy is quite stretched nowadays, from Libya to A-Stan, antipiracy duties, Côte d'Ivoire...), meet the ones that proceeded through the recruiting last year and have interviews with officers and psy evals. I'm not that worried with the interviews as I've been formed to such things in my studies. English does not worry me too much too. My writing sills aren't that good, but it's an oral exam, and if I'm too believe an australian friend, I'm ok, despite my "charming french accent". I am able to watch movies or english speaking channels without subs, so I'm fluent regarding reading and understanding and speaking. If there is no essay, it will be a go. Psy evals are the big question mark. We'll see. This is the last step, and all will be in God's hands. If all goes well, and I am selectionned, next month I will be called to be asked to join my unit sometime in June. If I am able and find the time, I'll try an update from Toulon. Either way, be sure you'll be updated by the time I'm back in Lille. (As a side note, being called to Toulon for someone from Lille is like being called to Florida for a guy from Boston. Quite a way, and hot as hell! )

Hey guys! In order to avoid mod-related question clogging the May 2011 updates thread, I create this one... I guess a lot of players, like myself, do enjoy a lot more TK sims with pure downloadable awsomness like most mod here at CA. This being said, I am still familiarizing my self with Gen2 games and their architecture, so I want to be sure I can patch before doing it. First question: when I do patch the root file of my games, all are updated, except the custom .exe like Falklands? And a little list, feel free guys to add your mods: * Falklands Mod: not compatible? I guess so because of the CAT issues... * NF4+: Don't know yet, some reported issues... * SF2:V Air & Ground Expansion 2: don't know yet * Taiwan Modern Warfaire: don't know yet * 48-56 add-on for exp1: don't know yet Feel free to add any. My goal is to help mod users like me to know if, when, and how they can patch.

So guys, where do we stand, a month later? I guess, reading other threads about May updates, that waiting and keeping the old patch with 3rd Party stuffs is still the best course of action?
