MigBuster

In my experience: Attack will try to evade and get low - like the IL-28 for example. Fighter will attack you if they have guns - but if they have no guns and missiles they just seem to evade or make a run for the target. Bomber will fly high in formation and rely on guns if they have them.

The latest patch for SFP1 is October 2008 - which is quite a different game to the 2006 version - loads of new code etc Some of those jets may not work properly in the 2006 version - check to see what year they were made. ALso you may have ones created before better avionics were put into the games - so check for updated versions. Patch is on here http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads.htm - but you cant really patch a game youve added mods too - so take the mods out - or start again.

What I thought - and renamed Dagger - Israel may have kept a few possibly though?

Sad news - but he had an exceptional innings The Les Paul Standard was my all time fave - have owned a few too.

Apart from F-16s it tends to be whatever I'm interested in at the time - through reading books etc. ini edits and basic skinning no problem - although most wont believe the hours that go into my substandard work sometimes!!

Either start taking out mods until you find the problem (its probably a mod tbh) OR Best thing - backup the mods you want to keep - then uninstall/reinstall the game - put the latest patch on (only if it needs it) then test the game - then lastly add the mods in carefully.

they look totally ace!!

You might be on to something there - some jets that were a bit "sticky" moving round them in F6 view are a lot less so - had put it down to them having bigger LODs - will see how it goes Possibly time well spent

Heres one i wrote earlier all the cockpits are new higher poly count ones - you get 3 different pits for F-100 alone - all have more funtionality. The RHAW code has been totally rewritten to a vector type display AN/APR-25(V) and IP-957/APR-36(V) - the squares are long gone. Most of the 3D models have been reworked and the skins are higher res not least more improvements in graphics (for DX10) and more AI work. New 3D models are included for the A-7C/D/E with pits and the A-1H/J and most of the F-8 versions are there now. Please to see he's made the loadouts more realistic in regards to ECM pods and has added an ALQ-101 out of the box. The new file system is ace - keeps the core files separate meaning newbies are less likely to delete dlls etc - and the ability to merge the whole lot means patching once for all the SF2 installs - if you like that sort of thing.

skin names should be: F-4D_78_1.bmp F-4D_78_2.bmp F-4D_78_3.bmp F-4D_78_4.bmp F-4D_78_5.bmp

1. not sure - there may be a tracer.ini or something like that in your effects folder that you might be able to change 2. thats what should happen - am glad the game recreates that to some extent - one of the reasons your not supposed to keep flying over the same target Bonus Question: The most deadly flak by far was in YAP1 - even the higher up stuff (M1939) was lethal - havnt played YAP 2 yet as the system cant really handle it.

What version of the game is it? - should tell you in the bottom right hand corner of the menu screen Have you installed the version of Direct X 9 required? Assume you havnt added any mods yet? if so take em out.

Lovely job - looks ace!

Not come across that before tbh - have to assume your system cant handle it - what are your system specs? is it quite an old PC??

It has FBW from what ive read - I think Ezlead used to fly one of these so would actually know!

There's me thinking the German Air Force might have a more professional attitude when given such responsibility

It wouldnt be that bad surely - weve managed for the past 29 years okay with Harriers. Some positives would be: 1. Ramps don't fail like steam catapults. 2. The Jets can land pretty much anywhere and don't need long runways 3. A quantum leap in progress from the Harrier. And before anyone says - yes they can land pretty much anywhere so when the carrier goes down at least we save the planes! The AEW thing is not so good - agree there As for refuelling - even A-4s with buddy packs managed that - they can get something for the F-35 too surely

By 1972 some of the VPAF pilots had 6+ years combat experience in various MiGs - and im pretty sure they had to be on alert 24/7 during most of that time. One pilot mentioned a lot is Tranh Hanh - one of the first fighter pilots to complete training in China - became a flight leader of the 921st in 1964, promoted to command the 921st in 1966 - became deputy commander in chief of the VPAF in 1976!! "Considered to have exceptional aeronautical skill". Although he claimed kills is not actually listed in the leading VPAF aces. sadly he only mentions 3020 in its June 1968 state used by the 923rd - which already has 7 stars on it - and saying it was used by (claimed) 6 kill ace "Le Hai" at that time. On the 10th May 72 he only lists 2 pilots being shot down in MiG-17s (Nguyen Hang/ Nguyen Van Tho)- but then again he is sticking to what he was given access to in the late 1990s (which you would hope he was doing!!)

Unfortunately Colonel Tomb didn't actually exist - even Wikipedia tells you that Istvan Toperczer who has has researched VPAF war files tells us Colonel Tomb or Toon was fictitious. A photo of a MiG-21PF (4326) with 13 kill markings was released in 68 to the worlds press who its said wrongly credited the markings to a single pilot who they assumed was Colonel Tomb - but in fact the tally was made up by several pilots who flew 4326. The real VPAF ace of aces "Capt Nguyen Van Coc" actually flew that MiG-21PF. Many of the aces flew both types.

WHAT - just saw the AGM thing and assumed it must be - well go with either then ;)

You resized the skins to 512 x 512 but they are not appearing is that the problem? RE the weapons - no the game doesnt have a weapons folder by default - you just create that. There is no end of threads on this subject if you get stuck btw - and look in the knowledge base too

Iron bombs - I don't do Nukes :)

Nice dream but would be very surprised - if anything it would be new F-16/F-15s

dunno - It came in service around 1952 and was a very good jet fighter compared to other jets of that age.

No the AI will fly that model as well - well with a few changes like more fuel.
