Viper63a

View File SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018 This is a full stand-alone pack, no other mod packs are required. This pack is a REPLACEMENT and NOT an upgrade for FastCargo's F-15 Super Pack. You cannot simply install and over-write Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack with this pack. Nor, can you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack. This pack contains higher resolution jpeg skin files, so if you over-write Fastcargo's pack with this one, you will never see the new skins. If you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's pack, you will lose all the latest data files for flight model, weapons loadout and etc. If you just want the upgraded skins, those skins are available separately in the Skins section of this site. A later versions of those skins are already in this pack, so please don't upgrade this pack with earlier version of Viper63a's skins. Please refer to the "Installation" section in the Readme file, it will explain how you can install this of both packs - The Mudhen Team! This pack contains all F-15A thru D Eagle variants (including Js).

05/28/2016 - Typo fix on description - no mod changes...

Hey KB, Thanks for the report and fix. I am uploading v3.5 with the fixes. There will be a patch for the users with last v3.1 version to upgrade to v3.5. Also, the full v3.5 version with the fixes already applied, I did fix the LAU-51, corrected some typo in the LAU-3A and also made another LAU-51A using LAU-3A as the base. My fix is exactly not the same as yours, so you may want to keep what you have, I changed the loadout.ini to a different loadout than what you have. Also the data and loadout to use the correct 2BR... Again, THANKS for, not just letting me know, but sending me the solutions!

Wow, what and amazing story for an amazing life. He is free now.

Yes

Discussed at length here... http://combatace.com/topic/86742-anyone-tried-strikefighters-2-with-windows-10/

Hey KB, I fixed the LAU-51...Also created a newer/nicer one using LAU-3A as the base. Everything works, but I can only get 1 or 3 LAU-51 per pylon...not the 2 as pictured in your post... I can change the loadout to load 1 per pylon, if I select them with the 2br...I end up with 3 per pylon and that doesn't look right... I suspect this is the part I am having an issue with as it is the only part I don't under stand.... Note that the dual pylons are modelled as fake, non-jettisonable fuel tanks in order to facilitate the special dual-pylon loadouts in the loadout file. Normal single pylon loadouts can be selected in-game in the arming menu--just remember to de-select the dual pylons (named in-game as BRU-55/A 2BR (GAF)) or you'll have a graphical anomaly in-mission. any idea? let me know...

Gremlins!!!! :)

Hmmm, I thought the Instant Action locks up, but in Campaign mode, it just repops the planes...? I could be wrong. Been awhile...

I have not had a chance to install the new KAW...too busy bugging Spectre...LOL..yes, I am peculiar about the sounds...I was just letting Spectre know he was not the only person I was bugging about the sounds...HEH HEH HEH... :)

Along this topic, I perform one more step to isolate the KAW install. I rename the Campaigns to Campaigns-KAW and then refer to that in the <ThirdWire_Game_Name>.ini file....this way, I only see the KAW campaigns and no others...If you don't and if you select another campaign from within the KAW install...SF2 will try to find a plane...IE F-15A and find that is it not there. Then it re-pops the Obj\AC folders with ALL the planes it thinks it's missing.... :)

I am partial to quieter cockpits...I know...I been over this with Do335 and his KAW package with hi pitched F86 jet sounds...LOL...I use a trackir and earphone...and sound recordings of external engine whine piped into the cockpit starts to hurt my ears after awhile...Trust me, I found I am alone in this thinking...but I try as hard as I can to balance the sounds in the cockpit...Even in the F-15 Strike Eagle Super Pack, I lost that argument and we went with a balanced approach...HEH HEH HEH...Somewhere between DCS and TW original with no hi pitched engine whine that was hard on the ears. Spudz did a great job on the sounds in that pack. It was the model I used in my A-10 Alt Sound pack, note I didn't call it a fix, but an Alt pack... :)

[sound] WindSoundName=WINDLOOPA10 EngineSoundName=A10ENGINE StallSoundName=StallSound DamagedEngineSoundName=BtyEngineFire FlapsSoundName=AltFlap AirbrakesSoundName=HydPump GearsSoundName=AltGear EngineSoundPosition=0.0,-5.34,1.0 Maybe the sound is my install, but you do have BB on ... DamagedEngineSoundName=BtyEngineFire Not a big deal, but I changed some other things...radioloop for wind loop...louder whining A10Engine...etc... On the screens... [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=A-10A '87 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" AircraftShortName=A-10 AircraftDataFile=A-10A_87_DATA.INI CockpitDataFile=A-10A_87_COCKPIT.INI HangarScreen=A-10A_HANGAR.JPG LoadingScreen=A-10A_LOADING.JPG LoadoutImage=A-10A_87_LOADOUT.TGA LoadoutFile=A-10A_87_LOADOUT.INI AvionicsDataFilename=A-10A_87_AVIONICS.INI AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll UserList=A-10A_87_USERLIST.INI In the folder you have those files, but my install defaults to the TW and bypasses the ones in the folder (again, maybe it's my install). If I update the main ini, Ex...A-10A_87.INI [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=A-10A '87 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" AircraftShortName=A-10 AircraftDataFile=A-10A_87_DATA.INI CockpitDataFile=A-10A_87_COCKPIT.INI HangarScreen=A-10A_87_HANGAR.JPG LoadingScreen=A-10A_87_LOADING.JPG LoadoutImage=A-10A_87_LOADOUT.TGA LoadoutFile=A-10A_87_LOADOUT.INI AvionicsDataFilename=A-10A_87_AVIONICS.INI AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll UserList=A-10A_87_USERLIST.INI and rename the hangar and loading in the folder, the screens shows up...that's what I did in the fix I linked... :) PPS!!!! I love the pack, don't get me wrong...!!! Don't want to offend or anything by changing it...

Cool, Thanks

V1.03 uploading. Minor skin tweaks...nothing else. Brings the skins up to the same level as the F-15 Eagle Pack we're getting ready to release.

Downloaded pack 1 last night and I see it was updated today...did anything change in the pack or did you just update the instructions?

@ KiwiBiggles - THANKS!!! I will look into it and update the release! Appreciate you sharing! :)

Still the fan! Downloaded your latest update! THANKS!!!!
