Just found by myself what the problem was... I copied also the medalsUSN.scr to my Flight Folder. After i removed it, i did a couple missions to take a look at what it might do i now the awards were given correctly per the score and multiple time when i met the requirements. I changed the name of the medals that are not in the original .scr file so the name will appear correctly when awarded. Now i put the score/kill/missions/service factors a higher for every medal so that when i will get one it will be because i really earn it. I just had to think about it :)

Thanks Capitaine Vengeur! I did this a while ago and get an Air Medal after setting it to ''multiple'' but yesterday i should have get a Silver Star per my mission score and parameters for this medal, but i got an Air Medal... Here are my settings for US navy medals... can you help me to point out what is wrong?

Might the answer be this line on every medals : CanBeMultiple=TRUE ??? I thing that whatever parameters you put in (ex. kills), the system only takes the lowest score giving a medal and will award this medal whatever you score... I remove this line and seems to work as i could get the air medal and dfc but is there a way to set medals as ''multiple'' as on a whole career it's dumb to get only 1 medal per award but a sea of purple heart looking at how many times i die :) If somebody could light me up on this it would be great!

Hi everyone, I just installed this beauty and it's a must have! For the medals attribution (ex the US NAVY service) how come in campaign i can only get air medals even if i met the requirements for other medals (based on mission score alone). I did not change any setting for the medal parameters... (Kill set at 1 for both, mission success at 2 for both, only the mission score differ). Also, What is counted as a kill? I know for sure aircraft is taking in consideration, but does buildings and ground vehicules counts also? It's only a tiny thing that don't count but i'm trying to understand how it works so i could launch myself on a Canadian Air Force medals pack for my own pleasure! Thanks to anyone who can explain this to my little self

Thanks for the answers guys. I extracted the files and worked on them. I don't want to do this to be a ''hero'' with more medals then teeths :) But it's fun to get more then one of the same (when you can get one) and add a few more if i can sort it out... Last question, do i put back the files in the c://program files/sf2 or c:://user//strikefighters2/... Skiviper : If you want to get the MOH, drop a nuke on a main enemy airbase, you'll get one :) Done this once on a B-52H just to see the effect and got one... tonipm99 : Mig 17's are easy meat, especially against an A-1 :) But fishbed's are a real pain in the a** for sure

Hi everyone, For exemple, for us services you may get a purple heart every time you get wounded, but what about the other medals. Is there a tweak or something so we can get more then one over a ''career''.

Thank Wrench. You were a great help on my minor bug. Everything works fine now and I get rid of the wing fold thing... I solved the decal problem by the way. Seems I could do this alone :) thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your help Wrench. I solved this issue with your precious tips. Only have to figure out now how to get wings to fold and open/close canopy... I also add this beauty in the desert campaign as flying squadrons (A-1J / VA-25). Everything works fine, but i can only get the default skins ( the one's from the skyraider pack won't show)... Can you also help me out on this one?

Thanks for the reply Wrench. You seems to be some king of God around here :) Do I take this ''fresh'' data.ini file on any SF2 install from a pre-may version of the game (if so, how the hell to get one) or is there this file around? Thanks in advance again!

HI everyone, First post on a great site for add-ons! Cheers to those who give amount of time for files and maintenance! I'm trying for the last days to solve a decal problem on skyraiders. I have all 5 merged SF2 games. along with the SF2NA Expansion pack but ONLY my sandy's got the problem on the picture whatever decal i put on this beauty. Anybody got this problem and found a way to solve it? I didn't touch to the ini or anything. Thanks!
