Hello everyone, I remembered flying one of my favorite 'what if' aircraft known as F-31 for SF2 very long time ago. It was based on X-31 (http://en.wikipedia....ckwell-MBB_X-31) and I have been looking for it for long time and is unable to find it. I also searched for it in 'what if' hanger in SF2 aircraft download, so I am wondering if any one of you can point me to which link I can find F-31 for SF2? I am contiuning to search through thousands of files for these in Download section. Search engine won't let me use exact name like F-31, F-29, and other and it keep giving me "Not found". I tried typing in F-29 and it said not found so I had to manually swim through many pages of aircraft to finally find F-29. However, I am still not able to find F-31 unfortunately so I thought I would ask someone here if anyone have seen F-31 files for SF2? I appreciate any helps and I am in process of re-building my SF2 collection and it have been very long time since I have flown SF2. It is good to be back into SF2 simming time.

I have tried everything with FalconC45 and no solution have worked for him so far. So we are in great need help with FalconC45's issues with his KAW in his SF2 series sim. These stubborn MiGs still refuse to appear in his single mission when he was flying CAS.

Ah I see, I did not realize I was missing one more SF2 title! I am going to buy SF2:NA, so I finally have complete SF2 collection and being able to fly any add-on aircraft mods within it. I thank you all for great help, I truly appreciate it! May all of your weekend go well! Cheers!

May I ask, you mean aircraft's .ini or where do I find main.ini? If you mean aircraft, lets say F-14A_74 as an example. Here is codes from F-14A_74.ini: CockpitDataFile=F-14A_cockpit.ini AvionicsDLL=AvionicsF14A.dll AvionicsDataFilename=F-14A_avionics.ini And to answer anyone questions about which SF2 series I have, I have these following SF2 series: SF2 SF2: WOV SF2: WOE SF2: WOI SF2: Expansion 1 SF2: Expansion 2 And I installed following patches: SF2 expansion pack 2 Jan 2011 SF2 expansion pack 2 May 2011 SF2 Series March 2012 SF2 Series July 2012

Hello everyone, After downloading and installing great superpack of F-14 by TMF (http://combatace.com/files/file/12327-tmf-f-14-tomcat-superpack/), I installed after following instruction. However, I was flying F-14A and I noticed that my radar is not working. I tried turning radar on and yet they won't work. I am missing something. I flew other aircraft and radar works (F-15A as an example). There had to be some steps I am missing and I looked through read-me, I am not able to find instruction for radar. Any advice to solve my problem with F-14s radar is much appreciated. I truly am looking forward flying TMF F-14s and right now I am trying to figure out what is causing radar not to turn on. Thank you Eagle out...

Everyone, Thank to all of your helps, I have figured out what patch to install...I install patch in these following orders after installing SF2 Combo, Expansion pack 1 and 2: Expansion Pack 2 Patch Jan 2011 Expansion Pack 2 Patch May 2011 Strike Fighter Series Patch March 2012 Strike Fighter Series Patch July 2012 Hopes these are correct orders...

That won't work since SF2 Combo was given to me as a gift by my close friend, hence is not part of my Email. He bought it for him and me, so we could enjoy games and help each other with troubleshooting and installing mods in our own computer.

Thank you very much! how about SF2 March and July 2012 patch? Should I install these too?

I don't download these, I installed them using old files from years ago. They are exe files from SF2 Combo, along with expansion 1 and 2. I read that readme recenlty, it still doesn't explain if I should install patch individually for SF2, SF2:V, SF2:E, SF2:I, SF2 Expansion 1 and 2. Should I install patches for each of these or just SF2 patch?

Hello everyone, It have been so long time since I have ever flown Strike Fighter 2 series and I am re-installing SF2 series from scratch. I went to thirdwire website for patches and I am bit confused now. I have all series of SF2 (SF2, SF2:V, SF2:E, SF2:I, expansion pack 1 and 2). I installed all of these together and merged them. And now I am looking at many different patches which left me confused: http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_archive.htm Am I supposed to install patch for SF2 (Mar 2012 and June 2012?), SF2:V, SF2:E, SF2:I, Expansion 1 and 2 individually? Or install just one patch? Your advice with my patches is much appreciated. Cheers!

Hello everyone, I saw one of most interesting Russia experimental aircraft called IL-102 that flew in 1982. This aircraft deserve to be flown as 'what if' AC that enters combat service for Russia as strike fighter aircraft.

The next thing they probably will do is adding gatling cannons and AIM-9M to WW I fighters. Eagle out...

Blackbird, check your PM! Eagle out...

I have spend alot of time polishing afterburner and their node effects for both F-16A and Tu-22. This is the result of latest progress on F-16A and Tu-22 Afterburner and afterburner node effects: I will start working on F-15A and other aircraft next, and I have learned alot about how these effects works, I am having fun experimenting different codes in .ini flies and materials for afterburner effects.

hi ho silver, check your PM. Eagle out...

DOH!!! How embarrassing!!!! I can't believe I actually missed that! thank you for pointing that to me... I still really can't believe I missed that... *tucks my head into my shirt in embarrassment* Eagle out...

Hello everyone, I have noticed that there is no effect entity in .ini for this specific effect known as WingtipVortexEmitter. I have looked into PARTICLESYSTEM.ini and used search (ctrl + F) for this exactly entity "WingtipVortexEmitte", and there was no match. I looked everywhere in SF2 for WingtipVortexEmitte and yet is not able to find it. So I am wondering if any of you know where I can find WingtipVortexEmitte? The reason why I am asking is because since it is my great goal to improve effects all related to aircraft from afterburner to pressure wave vortex, especially wingtip vortex, I have been learning about how afterburner works and now I am studying different pressure wave vortex but got stuck at WingtipVortexEmitte part since I am not able to find that entity. If anyone know where I can find WingtipVortexEmitte, please let me know. Cheers! Eagle out...

It look like I have managed to figure out how to do 2 things: 1) scale the length of afterburner (Still adjusting afterburner and is not even done yet) 2) Make afterburner go longer based on speed! I still need to adjust the proper light from engine because, from what I have seen in several sources (videos and picture), even from intense glowing afterburner, it doesn't give much light outside of jet afterburner, so i will reduce the 'light range" that afterburner product while increasing the 'intensive' amount of glowing inside afterburner during night. Here is screenshots of my further progress on F-16's new afterburner and please note the speed at lower left corner: Eagle out...

I am currently exploring more about how Afterburner work in SF2. Default F-16 afterburner look too weak in graphic and doesn't look much like real F-16 afterburner (Please keep in mind, I am very thankful for great SF2 series simulation with hard works done by TK and his team. It is my great goal to improve his simulation into greater level with new effects.). So I have decided to improve F-16A afterburner, and this is default F-16A Afterburner: (Source: http://www.fas.org/m...afterburner.jpg) This is new Afterburner for F-16A, and this new afterburner still have much more room for further improvement. I am working on figuring out how to create a longer version of this afterburner in length and decrease their glowing light range for outside area of afterburner before doing any further improvements.

New update on my new afterburner improvement. Tu-22 Afterburner at night New F-105Ds afterburners (replaced default purple afterburner with different afterburner) (Source: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/F-105_Thunderchief_left_rear_view.jpg) Eagle out...

There is no mods that I know of that would do these new special effects of F-14 afterburner doing that. That is exactly why I am learning how to work on afterburner in first place. It is my goal to improve afterburner effects to give SF2 more immerse experiences. But I am doing it in small steps a time, merging my time with university. The first step I ever did was adding a new effect into SR-71A and I achieved that. The next is to create new afterburner based on existing .TGA file and change color/tweak glowing setting on .tga picture itself where I used them for Tu-22 afterburner effect. Now the next thing I will be doing is learn how to tweak afterburner properties through .ini dancing and I am still seeking for tutorial on these effect .ini editing. After I mastered that, I will try my best to figure out how to make afterburner glowing more intensively at night and make afterburner go longer based on speed. Your comments about how afterburners work based on speed and day/night/cloudy is interesting and helpful to me for my plans for afterburner improvement work. Chaoic out...

That is true, and the reason why I did these afterburner improvement to Tu-22 is because I have notice that modern bomber of Russian, such as Tu-22M and Tu-160 creates blue afterburner during take off. And I am still searching for Tu-22 pictures or videos of afterburner, so for now, I thought I would change their engine to match these engine colors as my practice and experience gaining of doing afterburner improvement. And oh, I will certainly check these Tu-22M add-on mod for SF2 and when I do effect improvement, I will post screenshot here. Eagle out...

Thank you EricJ, I bookmarked that link. and one more thing, is there any of place I can learn about .ini dancing with effects too? I am not able to find .ini effect editing tutor in knowledge base in both SF1 and SF2. What happened to to them? I will continue seeking for these information and hope I will find them. Eagle out...

Hello everyone, I have used search engine and went through both SF1 and SF2 'Knowledge Base' and noticed there is no information about effect editing. But if it is still in there and I am not aware of where it, please let me know. Do any of you know where I can find great tutorial on modding effects? I have been tweaking and trying to make afterburner for aircraft longer, more intense in light, but I ended up messing up afterburner length in Effect .ini dancing, so I am wondering if any of you know where I can find good information about editing .ini for effects. I am excited about learning how effects work so I can start improving SF2 in my own paces and sharing these with this community when they are ready in future. Chaoic out...
