Hi All, have a look to this skin i made... Currently working on skins of RCAF T-birds. Let me know what you think!

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 :)

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!

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

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

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?

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 :)

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

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 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 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

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?
