1977Frenchie

Don't want to be bullish, but this is called realism :) I don't think it is possible to achieve this in SF2 and never got interested in it. It sucks to be KIA, but hey it happens in real life... What i like to do is kind of a career. Let's say i'm in the USN and i start with the oldest campaign and move on to the newer one's. I might make it, or not in the process :) My last to date : USN, started as an Ensign in the Korean Theater ''Career'' done : - Korea F4U 64 missions MIA - Burning Sands A-1H 5 missions Campaign ended - Rolling Thunder (A) A-4B 31 missions Campaign ended - Rolling Thunder (B) A-4B 26 missions MIA - Northern Sabre (69) F-4B 4 missions KIA With the promotion process changed to my liking, when i've been KIA i held the rank of Commander on my 130th mission... Was sad to see this pilot die (more due to the fact it was a friendly fire, thanks Wingman for shooting an AIM-9 in my plane:)), but now i will start a new one and do the whole process again!

Hi all, My system is up to date and so are all my drivers, but since i installed the KOW pack, when i'm on the mission briefing screen and i click on the map button so i can get to the mission map screen, i get a CTD all the time, whatever terrain i am using... and this only happens while in a campaign, on single mission it work well. Any clue what might be wrong?

There is plenty images available of this particular bird... The F-15 S/MTD is an American test aircraft with canards and 2D thrust vectoring nozzles (that was later upgraded to 3D thrust vectoring). It was built to study the effects and advantages of thrust vectoring nozzles. It was later used as the F-15 ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles) from 1993–1999 and from 1999 to 2008 for the Intelligent flight control system program. The two cockpits were equipped with the electronics of the F-15F Strike Eagle, while the canards are the horizontal stabilizators of the F/A-18 Hornet. So the Canards are okay, the exhaust nozzles??? But for the Camo... forget it as it was a NASA bird...

TeargasHorse : by doing that, put full flaps out + AB and hope for the best because plane will now be heavy WITHOUT the catapult push. If plane with no AB, prepare to bail out :) For Sheriff, this is great to do. I practice in-cockpit landing this way but it is far more challenging to do an approach in the intention to properly land and miss all the wires :) When about stall speed it's either you make it or not. Want to add more challenge : land with enough fuel to do 1 approach only...

As far as i know, you ''can't''. If you are on empty load (no more weapons) and depending of the plane you are flying you might be able to take off again, but not from a catapult position but from the landing point. I did it numerous times with F-14's and F-18's. Unless there is a mod somewhere that can aloud us to be catapulted again that would be great.

Hi All, talled a while ago the wonderful pack made by Wrench decided to let go the navy and join the Air Force, but 2 planes are having slight problems. Note that these are per the download, no modification have been made. P-51D : No propeller are showing when engine is running, but appears when engine stop. (i don't have this problem with the RF-51D). B-29 : Sit still on the runway but when i apply the throttle the plane is bouncing crazy but won't roll. (this happens on every map we have). Any clue on how to solve it?

Okay Wrench, give me the stick as i did not read properly :) no offense on this So will fly with no prop, can live with that! As for the 29, i did release the brakes, put autopilot apply full throttle then back off and Nothing work. So will not fly it until i (or someone) solve this.

Nope, i don't have this pack. That would explain the P-51D, but how come it's okay on the RF-51D one??? Also, still have no clue for the B-29 :(

It's the campaign pack i installed... Like i said, they are all working well, except these 2 planes.

Hi all, I'm considering buying a affordable PC for playing SF2 and few games (newer ons beiing World of Warships). No big video editing, no play on more recent games. Will do various office applications with it, but nothing graphic related. Came through the HP Envy 750-109 which specs are : HP ENVY 750-109 Computer Tower: Superior Design. Having exceptional sound quality and video graphics is certain with the HP ENVY 750-109 computer tower. With high definition audio, including 5.1 surround sound, and NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, the HP ENVY makes entertainment come alive. Processor: 3.40GHz 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700 RAM: 8GB PC3-12800 DDR3L-1600 SDRAM memory Hard drive: 1TB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive Included in the box: HP ENVY 750-109; wireless chiclet-style keyboard with volume control and optical mouse Language: Bilingual Up to 4178MB Total Available Graphics Memory as allocated by Windows 10 Sound card: High Definition Audio with up to 5.1 surround sound capabilities Ultra Slim Tray SuperMulti DVD Burner Media card reader: HP 7-in-1 Media Card Reader-Supports SD, SDHC, SDXC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Select, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick MagicGate Wireless: Integrated Bluetooth® 4.0 and Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac featuring Dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 1x1 technology Warranty: 1-Year limited hardware warranty Operating system: Windows 10 Home Processor: 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7-6700 processor Memory: 8GB PC3-12800 DDR3L-1600 SDRAM memory 1x8GB Hard drive: 1TB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 745 graphics card with 4GB DDR3 dedicated memory Mouse and keyboard: Wireless chiclet-style keyboard with volume control and optical mouse Optical drive: Ultra Slim Tray SuperMulti DVD Burner USB ports: 8 (4 x 2.0 , 4 x 3.0) So with that in my, does for 899.99$ cad i have a decent computer to play SF2 full détails? Currently have a laptop with 8mb RAM, GeForce 840M card, i5 processor and can't run full détails... Any inputs will surely help my choice! Thanks!

Hope it will get graphics on fire :) And yes, screenshot times and i will fire this one up!

Okay, i decided to open up the wallet and think long time... opted for the Alienware X51 R3 desktop (i7-6700 processor, 16Go RAM, GTX 960 graphic card, 256Gb SSD + 2Tb HDD) plus a 24 inches monitor. Hope that with this configuration i will be able to max out everything :)

I might already go up tu the GFX 750ti instead of the 745. Seems to be a bit more better and stock to the retailer

I knew that on the graphic board, the GTX 745 would be put to it's limits. Considering i currently have a 840M and that the 745 is on average 26% better, i would stick with it in the short term. Is not satisfied, will upgrade it. In the installation, i will put on a SSD that will handle Windows10 and add some RAM to put it up to 16Mb. I should see a great improve just by adding a SSD as i saw it. Thanks Mig for the inputs and thanks to the others also!

Download the Desert4 map made by Piecemeal and change your campaigns file that use the Desert map for Desert4. You can found here it : http://combatace.com/files/file/14551-desert-terrain-v4/ You will be impressed

Hi all, First : While in-game, on the map (Alt-M), i see ''red'' aircraft, but not the plane logo, just the names. Is there a way to solve this. Second : Is there a parameter to play with so when we have an engine flameout we have more time to try to extinguish the fire (like more then the current 15 second or so i have? Is that particular to every aircraft or a general parameter? Thanks!

So, we can edit the parameter, nice find Do! As you put it, there is a 6 second check if fire will broke out. 10 percent chance fire will be taken out and 15 percent chance fire will go out of control? This is how i see it :) And yes, AI is great to put them out, but won't reveal their trick :) Piston engine aircraft often see their engine quit after a few hits, that is true. But the A-1 can sometimes take a lot of hit before getting out of action.

Thanks for the reply. For the first thing : Whatever the distance, i will see in red the enemy aircraft type (like MIG-17F, or ace name if pilot is), but not the plane icon. On the Blue side, i have the plane icon and flight ident. (like Rambler, Ford, etc.). I think that one of the mod installed might have removed it, but which one, can't remember? :) For the second: i don't know how to really take them out. If flying high (12-15k ft , i saw over time that fire is took out if going higher (like 20-25k ft) so air with less oxygen is taken in the balance?. If i'm ''mid level'' (6-12k) i dive as long as i can with engine off. If low (6k and lower), got screwed most of the time :) So, the line stating FireSuppression=TRUE will mean fire can be taken out by itself (but not always), but no way to adjust the time before plane is full of flames?

File Name: 3rd Wire VA-176 A-1H Template File Submitter: 1977Frenchie File Submitted: 11 January 2016 File Category: A-1 A long time project of mine... This is my template for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-1H Skyraider. It depict the VA-176 A-1H with the "BEE" scheme. As this is my first skin and did not want to be too complicated, this is a single layer one. With time, i will surely evolve :) Just unzip the folder in your object/aircraft/a-1h directory. Add the following in the A-1H.ini : [TextureSetXXX] Directory=VA176BEE Name=VA176BEE Nation=USN Squadron=VA-176 "Thunderbolts" Specular=0.000000 Glossiness=0.000000 Reflection=0.000000 XXX stands for the number in sequence. I added another squadron patch then the VA-176 one used in the A-1 skin pack made by Wrench. So if you have then (hope you have) you will be able to find mine in the drop down list. This skin is for an A-1 right out of the paint shop, so don't expect a dirty one here! the template is jpeg format 2048 x 2048. Work done on the skin : wings, body, tail, weapons pylons, tail wheel, main wheels, tail hook, engine, propeller and interior of the speed brakes. Now it's yours to enjoy! Mario C.

To follow a previous post i made, here are some pictures of my VA-176 skin with the BEE. I would say it is about 95% done and should finish it soon. Still work to do on the BEE, but i now have a good view of the general thing. Let me know what you think of it!

I finded the button and file sent!

Okay folks, skin is finished at my satisfaction. Could do more, but it would be too much So what i done is wings, body, tail, weapons pylons, tail wheel, main wheels, tailhook. engine, propeller and speed brakes interior. But the killer question : how do i upload it now? :)

Not much have been done today... Work on the main wheels completed, right weapon pylon correction made, minor change to the prop. What is left is the tail wheel and tail hook. After this, i'll be done

A little more patience all, worked on it today and the BEE is done, prop is done, pylons are done and whole skin is done... a few things here and there and wait will be over :)
