Thanks, Crusader! I added your lines to the cockpit.ini file and it now works great! One question I have is what does itemnumber=xxx stand for? I saw that there were other itemnumbers in the file and thought that they corresponded to the numbers that the original creator gave to the panels in the cockpit and so I didn't dare mess with it.

Hi all, I recently downloaded the AV-8B Plus from the SF2 downloads section and I noticed that it hasn't been updated in a while. The plane itself is great but I didn't really like the fact that the refueling probe was not mapped to an animation input but instead as the tailhook. I took some time to mess around with the data.ini and was able to get it mapped to an animation input, but the indicator light wouldn't turn on when the probe was deployed. I went to the cockpit.ini file and saw that the light was part of the arresting hook system and so I tried to do the external_animation_link system but to no avail. The light is now on regardless if the probe is deployed or not. Is there a quick and dirty fix to this such as just adding a few lines in the cockpit.ini file or is there more work? maverickvf142

**UPDATE 2** Well, I have played about an hour into the game starting near the target. I am going to test starting from home base since most of the crashes either occur shortly after takeoff from runway or when I decide to refly after unsatisfactory results. Refly does not seem to be a problem since I've reflown several missions starting near the target. I will test starting from the runway tomorrow when I have time as well as the refly option. I feel pretty confident that the hotfix took care of the problem BUT again, I was able to play about an hour through a campaign starting from runway before crashing earlier today before the hotfix. Tomorrow is my first day at my new job so I guess I'm gonna have to take a break from SF2 for the rest of tonight.

I have Windows 8.1 **UPDATE 1** I found a hotfix for July 2013 and it seems to be working. Not sure though. I'm going to give it a test run and update you guys after a few campaign missions. Here's the link of the hotfix for those who may encounter this problem in the future http://combatace.com/files/file/15186-sf2-hotfix-july-2013/

Hi all, I've recently fired back up SF2 after a while away from playing and I've noticed that whenever I play a campaign, the game crashes about 10 minutes into it. It doesn't seem to happen when I select single mission. The only thing I can think of is that I updated the game to June 2013 about three months ago. However, I know that certain aircraft require the June 2013 update to work correctly which was the reason I updated the game. Before I remove and reinstall the game, I was wondering if any of you guys have had this problem and if so, can you tell me if it is related to the patch or not? I read several posts regarding this issue and it seems that the GraphicsEngineDX10.dll file may be the culprit. Though it may or may not be irrelevant, I installed DirectX 9 to play another game about a month ago under the impression that the DIrectX on my computer (DX11) will not be corrupted in any way. Could the installation of DirectX 9 have something to do with this problem? Here is the error from the event viewer Thanks, maverickvf142
