MigBuster

Thats interesting - thanks for sharing that info - gives real insight on how SA-7s were actually dealt with in Nam, which I havent seen before.

Not sure myself without trying them tbh - be careful if they come with old ini files. If not as a simple mod you could just copy cloud.tga from one of them into the "flight" (MOD) folder which will change the clouds appearance.

If you need to actually update the effects then I guess it will be along the lines of no31 in here http://forum.combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/

From another ace terrain Thats Starys new SF2I terrain - the hi res version on an intel i7 with Radeon HD5770 - one of the best if not the best for this series yet

Crikey - this is an eye opener!

Didnt think the Stock terrain could be replaced it was already pretty good - but you have Surpassed yourself with this one Its about 4 million times better than a certain payware effort I got about 3 years back!

Looks Pretty cool for a trainer!

Ace pics - just seen the British marching through red square on the news Whats that little jet on the 6th pic down is that a trainer?

Fantastic work - much appreciated

Nice - havent seen that before - bet it will be manned though A long way off - in the meantime have seen that the NAVY might be getting 124 more FA-18E/Fs from Boeing.

Happy birthday to you

I have some photos of USAF F-4s in Vietnam, one with 2 ALQ-87s in the wing pylons as above, and one F-4 with an ALQ-87 one side, and an ALQ-101 on the other. There are photos with them just carrying one ECM pod (ALQ-87/81) on the right wing pylon - however in the 1972-73 book I have, most photos have F-4s carrying 1 ECM pod in the front left Sparrow bay. For A-A the Sparrow bay is where you want it despite having to lose an AIM-7, its far less draggy.

The HI res terrain is a reworked terrain with seasons for SF2E - you can download and try it, and if it slows you down too much then take it out again. The HDR mod is not a terrain (even though its in that section) it just gives better frame rates if you have a multicore CPU and run it on Vista/Win 7, and dont use advanced shaders (ie if you are using an older game, or an SF2 game with lower settings, or your card only does DX9). However if you have an SF2 game and your card supports DX10 then using higher settings will use the advanced DX10 shaders giving better rates (or you can force them on) so HDR is maybe not the best option in that case. Im not sure which effects issue you are on about - Nato fighters + in the SF2 section should be set up okay. If not you may just need to add a line to the effects inis - again this is if you use DX10

Needs to be extracted....flightdata.cat in SF2E

How big it appears on screen depends on resolution, and browser settings, its CAPITALS that implies shouting I thought. If you cant see the writing then make it bigger. Also look at my signature - thats all the third wire games, the second generation starts at Strike Fighters 2 - these were rewritten to work on Vista/Win 7.

Crikey - he got very lucky! Was this different to the SA-7?, or was that the version of the stinger you refer to here?

So basically no ones in charge - should be business as normal then

Not that I know of - you can transfer skins over though - its no 2 min job, but there is some instructions in downloads.

Happy birthday chaps :drinks:

Save them as jpgs - you should be able to put them in your gallery on here then link to

Only posts ive seen people have had trouble running it in 7 - but as I say trying the FF forums is probably your best bet.

Great - another flipping nightmare - hope this stays as a cartoon

Dont use the word "Nothing" yeah because otherwise if you are talking about the 60/70s Faster Recce bird = SR-71 Daylight bomber (not counting PGMs)= A-7C/D/E (had a HUD with CCIP AFAIK) You will know from reading the other thread that the quote about the F-8 was kinda debated so no need to raise it again. You would probably end up with a MiG-17F with that little airframe, and not the super fighter you were hoping for. Israel prefered to use the Mirage 3 and Nesher as their primary fighters over the F-4 (which got a fair amount of kills)- but was used mainly in the attack roll. They admit out of the 50s interceptors the Mirage 3 was seen as inferior to the Lightning/MiG-21/F-104/F-106/Draken. But it was as fast and possibly more agile than the F-4. What it lacked was a better radar and could not carry as many A-A missiles, although it did carry the Matra 530 missile (which doesnt seem to have been that good). With nearly 400 kills (1966-74) I certainly wouldnt write the Mirage3/5 of for that era - obviousy US and IDF training helped a tad

Can depend on resolution and monitor size, and I use a trackIR and can zoom in so its less of an issue. How it compares to WOE - not sure.

Interestingly there are occasions where you get no calls at all - but not sure what criteria it works on - you have to be alone and the foe not picked up by Redcrown woman.
