MigBuster

Sounds like the install is screwed - you would need to start again probably.

You didnt add any mods in did you?

Yeah you can - there are changes that can be made to bring them up to date - http://combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/ although a lot have been converted over already in the SF2 download section

Isnt that DCS Blackshark thing supposed to be amazing - might be hardcore but you can probably tone it down a bit.

Hope you are having a great day :drinks:

[Frontline] Thats where the Frontline starts on the map - represented by a red line usually. I think startshow and endshow just define the visible points from the front line coords [Routes] single missions (and campaigns) use these coordinates to place moving trucks and ships - you can just define your own points - you can add shipping routes also i.e. [Route008] RouteType=SHIPPING StartArea=Mosak <----name from _targets EndArea=Al'Duhok <----name from _targets RoutePosition[001]=472000,486000 RoutePosition[002]=472000,498000 RoutePosition[003]=446000,538000 RoutePosition[004]=422000,552000 To work out the coords - ideally a mission editor is the best thing

I wish her all the best - hope she makes it

Some nice bits in there

Don't tell me - you shot it down with an AIM-9B

Looks pretty cool to me

Welcome JDUK - hope you have an enjoyable stay

Andy Bush comparing the TF-104G with the F-104G: The TF carried less internal fuel. We used it in the weapons school for introductory rides...where we verified the student's basic flying skills before turning him loose to fly the single seat model. For example, when starting the air-to-air phase, we wanted to expose the student to both high speed and slow speed flight. The plan was to enter a 30 degree dive from about 20000' and accelerate to as fast as the jet would go...we would level off at about 5000' and then point the jet straight up and let it run out of speed. It wasn't unusual to have the students be apprehensive about flying at high speed and they were particularly wary of very slow speeds (too many accidents in Germany). In the dive, we could get the TF out to about 750KIAS...the TF had more drag than the single seat version because of the canopy. I'd sit in the back and "help" the student stay in the dive until the jet quit accelerating...and then I'd "help" him pull it straight up. I'd make sure he kept the stick neutral until we simply ran out of airspeed...the jet would then flop over and start back downhill. I'd guard the controls again to make sure the guy up front had it under control. All of this was usually accompanied by some heavy breathing from up front!! I used to call this the "Oh ye of little faith" sortie. Other than no gun and a shorter endurance, the TF was quite similar in performance to the F model.

Have a great day

You probably mean an EM chart

Well if you want to know ask at f-16.net - a few ex 16 pilots on there. The nearest we have is Falcon 4 which has about 20 years of hardcore input. You get no rudder authority over 300kts in that - and at low level, low speed even with rudder and a clean F-16D the nose drops too much despite full rudder. in SF2I (Dont have WOI anymore) - clean F-16A - here you get to use rudder way over 300kts - but regardless of <200kts or >300kts speeds the nose still drops too much despite full rudder like the Falcon FM. Unlike the Falcon FM - The SF2 FM requires no elevon movement to keep the jet on the same heading. Unfortunatley the only application for such a pointless sustained manouver would be at an airshow - or if you had to fly down a very narrow star wars trench

Yeah you need to attack it from every angle, just dont fly behind it for more than a second. This is where things like TrackIR are handy. In the F-100D Vs IL-28 scenario I expect maybe 1 or 2 of my AIM-9Bs to go near the target - then get in there for guns - slashing attacks from angles mainly.

One other thing - try downloading files at different times during the day to see if you get any times that are faster - congestion is quite common with some Broadband services. I expect my cheap / naff service to slow down again this winter as more people go online between 07:00 and 10:00.

You probably want to speak to your provider really - whats actually happening - as in details??

Congrats Nesher - best of luck on your new path

That is interesting - havent checked that myself. The total (all programs) physical RAM usage sits around 3.2GB running SF2I in game when I check it.

Yes its worth checking this - also check if your PSU is rated at enough Watts to run the card. I have tried running lower Wattage PSUs years back but over time they eventually start to creak and cause black screens.

Looks like a good site - they have some other IAF jets on there as well
