Do you create 3D aircraft models? - would be great for the series if you do - there are plenty of people on here who will answer your questions.

Europe is still fairly divided just as its always has been - its a group of sovereign nations which will hopefully stay that way. Regards to the economy I think you will find the Global meltdown we are just emerging from was caused by a housing crisis in the US (well so we are told) so that kinda tells me a lot currently rides on US economic stability. Europe faired pretty badly as a whole and so did the UK - in fact I'm not sure we are even out of recession yet. As for the comments about how the US should act etc on here - being nice to everyone all the time doesn't get you to the top - that's reality!.

Planes not showing - haven't seen that in years - if there really were no enemy jets then it could be an intermittent bug - sometimes you just have to find em. The ships take a while to appear with SF2 - try to arrive on target on time - if not they will eventually appear - maybe something tk needs to change. If you got paddle barges - thats because the game will just choose an object of the correct type in ground objects - so you either take out the paddle barges - or maybe set their availability to RARE. AFAIK there is only 1 output from the game - something you could ask TK about.

Yeah theres a mod in the download section - consists of 2 files that goes in effects - should work on 1 and 2 gen

This one? He makes it to 56k before briefly getting the U2 in the HUD which is radar locked a few times but its up there. Cant tell if they are ever in range for an AIM-9 shot - which is the longest range missile they have - the vid is not high enough res.

IL2 Sturmovik got a simhq console award this year - its the only console sim i know of though

They may have been on bingo fuel, did you target them at all? Since WOI/ SF2 the jets actually try to get home after the fight by getting away quickly - this may also depend on their skill level too i guess

Terrific - whats that recorded with? - FRAPS?

There are rumours of troops being organised on the columbian/Ven border (BBC) over the past few months so would expect they dont want people snooping around. You would have thought the P3 crew would have got their cameras out and taken pics of some real classic warbirds - that camo job they have is pretty cool.

Play it how you want - I have never used labels myself - and tbh getting too close the ground is a sure fire way to get shot down so I cant say im in distance anyway often. I use zoom and trackir for DToss - but often use the LANTIRN or mav view - and sometime padlock

Sounds like something is missing - what game have you installed it into? Suspect it was done for a different game that has the required files in its cats already. The shadows were changed in later patches so removing it might be the only answer - is it using a .shd shadow file or the dynamic in game ones?

Well each to their own but seriously people who have them wont fly without one ever again - takes a bit of getting used to but well worth it to keep looking at your opponent - something you cant do otherwise. What source do you have the IR light is dangerous? all i have found is this on wiki: "The power output of these LEDs is about 500 times lower than the ANSI safe limit for extended exposure (more than 16 minutes)[3] so is no more harmful than ambient light". Ive never played LOMAC but have played Falcon 4 for years so am familiar with modern air combat - that is using reliable radars with lookdown capability and firing off missiles with a good chance of success - and the things turn forever even though turn fights are not best advised. None of these things are really there in most of the 60 - 80s jets. You will find your self changing tactics and ways of fighting quite a bit even during that 20 year period depending on jet and weapons available.

The radar is very handy for avoiding AAA sites - it has limited use for target finding though - but can be done if you follow your steerpoints correctly using the pit dials and have a distance countdown. Then to manually view a ground target for dive bombing I zoom in with TrackIR - although this doesnt always work for small camoed guns. Padlock is handy too - good to have some aids to make up for the lack of airbourn/ground FACs. The A-10A never had a radar AFIAK - not even sure the A-10C is getting one

Using these jets just takes practise - is different to what youve been used to. If you can get a TrackIR - you can zoom in easily and spot jets further out without using icons. In the early F-4s you will have the pleasure of using hopeless missiles and poor radars also.

Some of the schemes look fantastic on this bird!

Have only ever played it through hyperlobby online - so you could meet up there which is probably a lot easier - you still need to port forward 2934 and 2935 UDP if you are behind a NAT router - how you do that depends on your router etc might be worth searching old threads or simhq now frugals is down

It was remixed and released as a dance track believe it or not in several versions by some bloke called William Orbit in the 90s - was a big hit at the time too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRqndwCqa5g

Guessing the G07600 is in a bespoke Laptop here - if its happening in WOI then maybe worth changing some of the 3d settings - you dont say if you have this issue in a unmodded SF2 game For the extractor download and install it again - or just use the new catpack - works on SF1 and 2 cat files

happy Birthday

What patch are you using? tbh I've rarely used the ILS - only use it in pea soup fog so would have to test it.

TK has changed the ordering of the clouds and trees around in recent patches - he suggests putting a higher min altitude for the clouds - maybe in the flightengine.ini

Happy Birthday

Is this in single missions, campaigns or custom missions? Have you added any mods lately? Have any of your missions since this started happening given you the acomplaished sound? Do you get any other red crown sounds in game? If you create a new pilot does the problem persist?

Round sisters with the whole family for one day of fun and food - looking forward to it!

Well call me mr predictable here........SF2V/E/I
