Happy Easter to all

You mean the correct RGB colour code if you were creating a skin for instance?

Its a converted Airbus A330-200 airliner. Replaces the VC-10 and Tristar. They used to use HP Victors until about 1993

Firstly exp2 only works with SF2E so you must have this: 1. SF2V 2. SF2E and Expansion pack 2 If you don't have that suggest you reinstall them - or you will need to provide some screenshots of the install if you are unable to describe it.

The radar is defined in the avionics.ini - and will have associated files in the jets cockpit folder. - so you have matching sets - also check this line in the F-18.ini file - think its still relevant: AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll

from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13125047 The largest RAF aircraft in history has arrived in the UK for the first time. The new tanker and transport plane - named the Voyager - is almost 60m (197ft) long and has a 60m wingspan. It is twice the size of a Lancaster bomber and will replace the VC-10 and Tristar aircraft. The RAF has bought 14 Voyagers and the first is expected to be in service by the end of the year. The plane arrived at the MoD's airfield at Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, where further trials will be carried out. It flew in from Airbus Industrie's factory near Madrid in Spain. The Voyager, a converted Airbus A330-200 airliner, can carry 291 troops for more than 6,000 miles (9,600km). RAF Voyager aircraft arriving in UK The new Voyager is twice the size of a Lancaster bomber It can refuel another aircraft in the air with 100,000 litres of fuel, more than the amount contained by two large petrol tankers. The Ministry of Defence said it can refuel at a rate of 5,000 litres per minute, compared with a pump at a garage that delivers fuel at 40 litres per minute. 'Important milestone' Peter Luff, Minister for Defence Equipment, Support and Technology, said: "The arrival of the first Voyager aircraft in the UK marks an important milestone in the process that will see the Royal Air Force equipped with the best available air-to-air refuelling capability, with the first due in service by the end of the year. "Recent events in Libya and ongoing requirement for air-to-air refuelling over Afghanistan clearly demonstrate the essential role that air-to-air refuelling plays in getting our aircraft to where they are needed." Fourteen Voyager aircraft are being provided to the RAF under a 27-year, £10.5bn private finance initiative contract signed with the AirTanker consortium in 2008. The plane and its parts are being manufactured and assembled in France, Germany, Spain and the UK. One of the Voyagers arrived at Boscombe Down on Monday, and two of the planes will be based there during an intensive programme of testing that will continue into next year. Air Vice Marshal Phil Osborn, Air Officer Commanding 2 Group, said: "Over the next few years the Voyager will join the versatile A400M transport, C-17 strategic airlifter and well-proven Hercules transport aircraft to form an RAF fleet that can handle any task that comes its way in the future. "I look forward to a successful trials programme that will keep the aircraft on track for delivery at the earliest opportunity." The arrival of the Voyager comes as the armed forces face budget cuts and job losses over the next four years. Under the strategic defence review announced last year, the RAF is to lose 5,000 jobs, with 1,020 going by September. In addition, the Harrier jump jet and Nimrod reconnaissance planes will be scrapped, and some air force bases will close.

Happy Birthday WM

Right so you have 2 SEPARATE installs?? 1. SF2V 2. SF2E and Expansion pack 2 OR did you: 1. install SF2V 2. then install SF2E and merged it with SF2V 3. then installed Expansion Pack 2 over the top of these?

Really sad to hear Ed - thanks for all the work you have put in over the years for this series. Heres hoping you can find some work soon

Not clear on this - what games do you have? these: SF2V SF2E SF2E Expansion Pack 2

The original games are single core only - so that's 2,5Ghz PC its running on with a low end graphics card. I suspect you are using the latest patch for FE1 which would have slowed things down a fair bit - you may need to turn graphics settings down - start by turning shadows off and see how you go. Also what are your graphics card AA/AF settings? if they are high turn them down. If still no joy there is a HDR mod on here that should speed things up drastically with dual core and Vista - worked very well in SF1 - not sure if anyone tried it in FE1 though!

You can - the jet just needs to have the same folder name as the stock jet. Suggest you just cut and paste the stick jet folder out. Then you may need to alter each squadron in the campaign files to take account of the different skins or rename some of the skins to stock ones.

Should take about 14 Days I reakon

Happy Birthday

Fantastic work - a great read

You dont need to read the whole guide - just install the aircraft as you would in SF1 (but in the folders here C:\Users\<>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\) - give it a spin and see if anything needs changing. Then go back to the guide if anythings not right. Extracting files is also covered in the SF2 KB in my sig

Welcome back FireHawkOrdy - there is no escape

show off

They normally do 2 models of the carriers - one for taking off that has other a/c on the runway, or one for landing that has other a/c on the catapults. I have asked if they would release a pack with carriers that could be used for both landing and taking off from - so will have to see.

Sorry to hear Rambler - but good to see you have other plans and are not dwelling on the disappointment.

Not familiar with that - is it just one Aircraft type that causes the crash?

http://combatace.com/topic/56091-whats-new-in-the-sf2-series/ Not on there yet - The latest version (Expansion Pack 2)adds a Mission Editor now and optimises the game for multicore CPUs

With 64 bit being pretty much the standard now it really has to work - and it does.
