Might be a good idea to tell them what game you have FE1/ + expansion Pack/ Gold / FE2 - also what patch level are you playing at. Downloadable Aircraft can be downloaded and flown by the player or AI no different to the stock A/C. They can also be added to campaigns, you can alter the flight models, skins, decals etc if you wanted to get into that. The campaigns will be what you see in game, you can download other campaigns or make ones yourself - to do that you need to be able to be able to use Notepad. You can switch all the on screen displays off (red/white icons) if you like, and get rid of the red planes on the map too - so you are dependent on the cockpit. Note the white icon is just a waypoint that you can see on the in game map. Things to note on downloading aircraft - ones done for FE1 may need a bit of tweaking to get them working fully with FE2 for example. Also some will have cockpits, some may not, in that case you may wish to use a stock pits instead or you may not depending on how fussy you are - there will be a varying quality as they are created by hobbyists.

Spitfire Mk.9 - Best looking for me. Spitfire F Mk.24 - Final Spitfire - bubble canopy, Griffon Engine, 454mph and 4 x 20mm cannon.

Could be the PSUs not powerful enough - Check the specs for the graphics card and see what PSU it needs.

Jeez - great flying to get that down - not sure I would have got that down in SF2!

Great article - hopefully useful to other newbies

It stands to reason that TW only want the skins relevant to a standalone SF2E install going into the folders. If you want the others you probably have to extract them - but best to check with TW I would say.

Only have a merged install now so get all the skins. That might be something TW have changed - do the Soviets actually use other skins in any of the campaigns? You may need to manually extract other skins if you want to use them now

Is that a standalone install - or is it merged with other games?

She is truly hot - the first for a Royal IMO - glad to see they have changed their inbreeding policy in recent years. How many series of that did they do? we only got 2 series of the original and an Xmas special - pah

Makes 2 - dont worry I cant imagine the majority of the UK gives a toss - but it was nice they gave us the day off. Was in a comedy club last week and they asked if anyone was going to watch it - total silence - obviously I suspect some might watch it - its just not very cool to admit such a thing

interesting - IF that is actually the conversation between the actual hackers then it shows they seem to have a lot of knowledge in certain technical areas and spend a lot of time monitoring network protocols in their spare time. Potentially Sony have not implemented the basics - I have seen worse from other companies though - and yes determined enough groups can find ways around security measures even if it means getting on the inside!

Viewlist.ini is one file that can be changed - you using TIR?

For guns try attacking from above or below - if they are cannon shells it should rip it apart - although if its well armoured in the rear that could be the issue. Look in its data.ini for any armour entries and reduce or remove them. You will need to experiment - although it has a proximity fuse a good hit with an AIM-9P would cause terrible damage (especially to an engine) - not to say it couldn't keep flying in rare cases. One thing to note is that a lot of the heat seeking missiles in this game often go for the rear fuselage and not the heat source - if say from example the engines are wing mounted which is a tad annoying. btw - bigger missiles do more damage because they have bigger warheads

Never heard of it - its not even on amazon!

Despite the label - Its a Block 50:

The model would need to be in a format that can be converted to the format that works in SF - assuming the original author will allow it.

Can you not just add more static locations to the airfield - ie like the ones that define where the parked aircraft go by the tents?

I don't seem to have - GIMP lists the hexadecimal value and Paint lists the 8 bit decimal value for R/ G/ B which I would expect. As for what TK uses there they could be a relative measure of each RGB decimal value - but not sure at the mo. Hopefully there is a program out there - if not writing something just to do that would be easy - no time to do it at the mo.

Happy Birthday Derk old chap

Happy Birthday to you

One lucky Drone!!!
