1977Frenchie

I will surely upload when done :) As for today, 2 almost complete skin. One of 1956 and another of 1960 Needs some decal and move on the other skins...

Looking to upload it with the other skins i'm currently doing :) In fact, it's not for replacing the CT-114 Tutor, but it was the support aircraft of the team a while back. Looking to do also the ''Golden Centennaire'' and ''Red Knight'' schemes along with the regular one's (there is at least 12 different scheme i know).

Did some experiments by adding a steady light to the particular spotlight. My main problem is to find the X,Y position on the body of the aircraft. It will illuminate whatever is besides it if you put the value high enough. Tried it with the landing gear light while standing behind my wingman and he was illuminated... But don't scratch you head too much on this as these Spotlight were removed at the end of the cold war. I saw many CF-188 personnaly at St-Hubert and CFB Bagotville and i don't recall seeing an hornet with one installed. They had in lieu of it a white plexiglass cover. But some may still have them installed... So if anybody have a cu on how to find the position on the frame, i would appreciate it as i could continue my little work :)

Had a souond problem a couple months ago. After instaling one campaign pack (can't remember which one) my prop planes sounded like they were on steroids :) I checked the sound files inside this pack and found that the engine sound for the F-18C hornet was the problem (don't ask me why). I kept the afterburner sound, but changed the main sound to the one of the F-117 as they use the same engine in real life and it solves the problem.

Maybe question is dumb but if we set an aircraft as a drone (so no pilot in it) is their a way to tweeak the pilot killed thing? Example : modern campaign (or futuristic) with a playable drone squadron. If our drone get shot down, their will be no effect on our pilot status and can go on with the campaign (no POW/MIA/KIA)? Just my curiosity out there :)

Hi everyone, Having this issu since last night and searching to solve this. On th A-4B ONLY, my F6 view is not centered? Any clue? This is on the stock A-4B

Crusader, i did not notice that :) i changed the values from the A-4C_data.ini one and now weapons are on station. Cliff, does the CG value is the one to change in order to modify the center point position of the external view? Does CG means Centered to Ground? Because i also notice that after having landed on the carrier, the A-4B seems to have the rear end attracted to the carrier (wants to be cool and do a wheelie :)) I will change this value later in the day and see if it goes okay UPDATE : had the time to change the value of the CGPosition and that did the trick! Thanks for the inputs!

Okay, The dumb question of the day : If i download NATO fighters 5, do i have everything that is in the previous versions + what is in the version 5?

i meant + what is in the version 4

How many missions you made? I know the European campaign is long, as the Korean one and the Rolling Thunder

Get the Korea and Cuba campaigns. These 2 are greats and you can play red side missions. Get also the NATO Fighters one as it really Worth it!

I prefer having them all in the same folder, so the variety is complete. on my all-5 merge install i have also : Korea Campaign Cuba campaign Desert Storm Med crisis SF2V expension pack SF2NA expension pack Desert campaign carrier add-on and a lot more... a whole buch of aircraft downloaded here (thanks to all of them who made them) I run on full detail and load time is about 8 seconds whatever campaign i start (about 5-6 sec on single mission). I installed it on a SSD on my new computer instead of a HDD and maybe i gain something here, but the gain would not be that big imo. And btw, i'd like to thank the many people who continue to do great aircrafts, skins, missions, campaigns, etc. This game may be old but i still like it after these years! (this is the only flight sim i'm playing as the choice is overwhelming).

Does your loadout is the same on each wings? Your answer might be here. More weight on one side and you will naturally lean on this side. It's fun to forget that with 2000Lbs bombs at low altitude :)

A great one, so was also the A-4 and A-7 made recently. But unlike the A-4 that could have fit the Carriers the RCN had in the sixties, the F-8 could not have fit in my opinion :) But like you did on your screenies, the RCN opted for a new carrier :) Would be fun to have had those. Do you know if someone is planning to model the CF-100 (could be a great add-on for the European theater as the RCAF deployed them in Europe and the Belgian had some... Once again, your skins are great Spinners! Maybe in the future those could be skinned like the RCAF scheme of the time (white under, grey above separated by the red/white line) or even the 2 grey tone (light grey under, dark grey above).

This sounds like the same thing happening on the desert campaigns with the Add-On (sorry can't remember the name). When reaching Shandamar region, the ground campaign is stuck and you have to do a lot of bombing run and hoping something is happening sometime. Still don't understand sweep mission when you have to patrol over a target an clear out targets and still fail even if i shot down 11 aircraft with my wingmens (5 foes left the aera after we had no bullet lefts). Guess we did not shot down the airplanes the top brass wanted down :) It's easy to know which one to shoot down if you use the full detailed in-game screen, but i don't use them at all as it is more immersive... Like you, i play campaigns a lot and try to do simulated career just for the kick to play a pilot until he dies (or not but none of my pilot ever survive...) So if you gat yous answer, i might have a clue for the desert campaigns and looking to had the SF2NA enhancement packs to my game

Great scheme! Would have been nice to get them on the Bonnie... BUT, squadron would not be VF-870/VF-891, but 870th Fighter Squadron / 871th Fighter Squadron per canadian squadrons naming, even if some article wrote VF- désignations... Is new RCAF code would probably been CA-4 A ''what-if'' that almost made it for real! http://a4skyhawk.org/content/canada-skyhawk-proposal

I know some T-28 were used, but never heard of T-6 in vietnam. If somebody have a pic of a T-6 there it will worth some money :)

Hi all, I tried to find in the forums my answer but unless i'm blind i did not find it :) I installed the Desert Storm campaign but one Aircraft have the fuselage texture part missing... I checked in the Aircraft folder and the related skin and the image is there (image name is fuse) but where can i see the texture link? I scratch my head over this and check every .ini's... Thx for your help!

I changed the fuse.jpg for fuse.bmp and it worked as yakarov79 wrote and it did work. Skin is okay now. Thanks guys!

i am not in the USMC (i'm Canadian), but i think that ITC stands for ''Individual Training Course'' which is a SpecOps course. As for the COP thing, no clue But the white hat guy must be the firing range officer if he is the only one to wear this hat...

I live under a trans-atlantic ''route''. Every aircraft inboud for Montréal Trudeau airport fly over and i hear them everytime. if i recall well, they are between 28k to 32 k feet of altitude when they get over here (i live 900km East of Montréal). I can easely hear the Canadian Air Forces C-130, CF-18 and Polaris aircraft when they land at Sept-Îles Airport, landing pattern is right beside my house, along with some civilian carriers... So my guess is that Under cetain condition, you might see them at the same altitude as me and still hear them, but yours was way lower then the one i see here.

Was on the same boat 3 months ago... Find in my towm an affordable PC at 900.00$ CAD but not with the graphic performance i wanted. I shopped a lot and finally made my choice on this baby : Alienware X51 R3, i7-6700 processor, 16Gb RAM DDR4, GTX960 2Gb DDR5, 2To HDD, 256Mb SSD I bought it on special at 1299 CAD and it runs like a charm for SF2 and also GTA V. On the bad side, it's a console type PC so don't expect to upgrade anything but i love this machine.

Hi all, A few weeks ago i made a post concerning changing my computer and got a few advice. I previously had an Acer i5-5200U/8GB RAM/ GFX 840M (my wife will get it as is old laptop is about to die) and even if it was not a beast it was way better then what i had before. BUT i could run SF2 in unlimited détails but that was not fun to play over North Vietnam with all the add-ons installed and forget time compression :) I could only play with some détails at high and other at off (mirrors/reflections). I made a test last night before installing my new computer and with the F-14D on the US southwest map (full détails) i reached an average FPS of 17 with a max of 37FPS. So after checking what i wanted and checking different advices, i put my hand in the wallet and ordered a DELL X51R3 (i7-6700/16GB RAM/GFX 960/256GB SSD + 24'' monitor) and installed this beauty last night and... just awesome. I re-installed everything on the SSD, put everything at unlimited and re-run the F-14D on the US southwest map. average FPS was 58, with a max of 198FPS! Graphics are amazing and no hesitation on the frame rate, even at a time compression of 32x :) I tried back over North Vietnam and results were pretty similar (average of 48FPS, max of 132FPS and smooth run at 32x time compression). So, more then happy with my new rig. The machine is amazingly quiet (highest speed reached by the cooling fan is 17%. This one is fast also (loading game time is 2 sec. time to be in mission is 8-10 sec.). Graphics are amazing... In one word : Awesomeness! Sure the SSD help here. So that was my life last night :)

Hi citizen67, I had the same setup as you and everything worked fine BUT when i installed the KAW mod i experienced the same problem. (CTD when i clicked on the map button on mission planning). I scratched my haed a few days trying to solve the issues wich i think came from the flag icons BMP... After removing those, i came back to the regular blue/red icons and even if i had less CTD occured i still had some. So i kept everything, except the menus and everything related to the KAW mod (so came back to the SF2NA standard and no problem till then. So i might be related to the menu screen, which i doubt but try running you game WITHOUT the menu screen you gought in.

Either you fly Mercenary or regular forces, when you eject over enemy territory you will get an MIA, POW or KIA (if you bail out too late). If you bail out over friendly territory, there is great chances that you will be able to continue as you will not be MIA or POW. You might get KIA anyway if your plane is on fire completely and you bail mere seconds before plane explode. It happens to me numerous times
