Live just west of Hill AFB. The THUD is my fave! I always wondered if the euro scheme would evolve. I have the 1/72 Hobby Master die cast 419th bird 'My Karma' with this paint job . Outstanding work.........BRAVO! NIELS

Just wondering if any of the great modders out there are, or have thought about ginning up a 'true' F-86H? I know there is an 'H' model and USN 'Fury' model for download but they are of the 'E' model breed. It would be great to see someone take this one on. Could be a player in some of the post war Korea campaigns? Just wondering......Thanks, NIELS

Right on! Thanks for the response - much appreciated. NIELS

I've read or heard about a possible SF2 Korea Mod - Just wondering if it is still in the works? The campaign and mods for SF1 were/are great. Just hoping there will be same for version 2 of the SF series. Vr NIELS

Just a wish list item for the one of the latest mods of the famed F-105D. The 'Thunderstick II'or T Stick mod as it was called back in the day. It would be cool if one of the great modders out there could tackle this endeavor. This mod for the old THUD gave it a 'Hump Back' dorsal spine with the T Stick II bombing avionics upgrade. Don't know much about the specifics of the capabilities? I think the ANG or USAF Reserve unit based out of Carswell AFB in the early 80's and maybe late 70's flew these special breed. Anyway, I could possibly provide some pics of these steeds but don't have a clue as to their capabilities i.e. Nav, Hud, bombing systems, etc.? Thanks for listening, NIELS

Bravo! Its mods like this that continue to keep the SF series great. Thanks, NIELS OOPS??? This comment is for the SF2 Desert Storm Campaign - Don't know what I did to get it in the wrong place? Outstanding job Dave.

The weapon paks generated by all the modder's have been fantastic over the last several years of this series. The different era's/conflicts and specific weapons added to each have been superb! This is a request since I don't have the software or skills to develop such weapons - could one of the "Master Weaponear's" out there develop a good series of WWII bombs? The 1000lb represented in the series is pretty good but the whole group 100 - 1000 could use some attention like the later M117 & MK series have gotten. This would be a great addition to the WWII, Korea, and upcoming Sues conflicts/time frames. The intricate detail of bomb fuses, fusing wires, tail fins, colors etc. could use some fine tuning. "Bravo to all the great talented modder's out there who have brought this series of air combat sim's to where it is today" "MUCH APPRECIATED" Vr NIELS

I've flown several Korea campaign's and after 6 or 8 missions the campaign stops. Sometimes with victory and other times defeat. I have selected "Long" for the length of the campaign but it quits after only one month of duty? Is there a way to fix or change the campaign data.ini to allow longer campaigns? I have difficulty set at normal, length set at long, aircraft and weapon supply set at limited. Thanks - NIELS

A great many Cold War Aircraft in the download section were updated today. Does this mean they were changed/modded and resubmitted? Just wondering due to re-download concern. Thanks - NIELS

With the help of some other SFP1 simmers I have finally found this weapon rack. Its a twin bomb rack that loads the two weapons side-by-side as seen in many Hornet pictures. The lod file had the bmp file listed as a TER.jpg - I ran the HEX pgm and changed the line to TER.bmp and saved it as BRU57.lod. Still cannot get it to load/work with F-18A or GR3 Harrier? I've also added/changed applicable DATA.ini wing station entries and loadout.ini entries with no success. "Please Help - Thanks" Vr NIELS

You were right Crusader - 'Hal Laaa Loooo Ya"!!! Got the BRU57 on the GR3. Much apreciated, now I can resume puttin the hurt on the bad guys! Thanks very, very much to both you and Sundowner, had no idea what the move up function was for in the weapon editor pgm - now I know. "You Guys ROCK" Vr NIELS

Thanks guys, have to work late tonight but I'll give it a try when I get home. Apreciate your persistance. Vr NIELS

Crusader - appreciate your input on the 2BR, but that rack loads the bombs in tandem - one behind the other. The BRU57 rack is a twin lateral configuration with them side-by-side. Tried your suggestion and the bombs show up great in tandem. I know its "picky" but the BRU57 looks like a common rack on the Hornet and was depicted in a book called "Modern Air Combat" for the GR3. I would: and I guess others would like the flexibility of using the BRU57 if able. Just a desire given the great amount of weapons and load configuration options in this great sim! "Thanks Again for the prompt feedback" Vr NIELS

Yep - removed all references to TER both DATA & Loadout ini's - No luck. Moved BRU57 to front of list for weapon types in your data info you forwarded with no effect? "Looks good on the RAF Rhino though - Thanks for your quick responses Sundowner" - "Apreciate anyother tweeks" Vr NIELS

Tried it Sundowner - "Partial JOY" - Got the Mk18 to load side-by-side on the TER, not the BRU57? The BL755s loaded one inside, one under like all the USAF/USN weapons. The BRU57 as shown in your picture of the GR3 with the BRU & BL755's does not load - only the TER. Tried removing TER from DATA.ini and then could only load one weapon each pylon = Very Frustrating!!!??? "Thanks for the data & loadout stuff - Much appreciated" "Don't have much hair left on head to pull out - spent much time yesterday with this head ache - didn't get much air combat sim time - Sh!*ttt!!!" Vr NIELS

Hey Sundowner hows it going - wasn't sure if you frequented this forum or not - dumb assumption on my part. I know you've got better things to do, but could you please explain how you got it working on the GR3. As stated earlier I've renamed the .jpg, added BRU57 to the DATA.ini and loadout.ini, selected USN, USAF, UK, NATO in the weapon editor pgm for the unit. I've even tried to change the RAF to USAF in the GR3 Data.ini with no success???? "Appreciate the feedback/fix replies" "Thanks" NIELS

Thanks Crusader for the reply/help fix. I have tried all avenues with the weapon editor also ie: changed the year of availability, checked USAF, USN, UK, NATO, made the rack exported etc. There is no entry for diameter or length for this weapon rack - Could that be the issue? "Appreciate the response" Vr NIELS

I've been installing bomb sights for various bombers and can not find the download/read me file (Making Dumb Bombs Smarter) anywhere at Combat Ace? It is the first part of all the readme file instructions. Please Help - Thanks Niels

When I try to fly a campaign in any of the Korea vitage acft ie: AD-4, F-4U. and F-9F they explode on the CVA-34 Oriskany carrier? I know I have read similar problems in previous forums but can't remember the fix. Is it an acft issue or a carrier issue? Please help. Thanks, Niels

Found the original ALQ-87 Pod in the EF-4C download. Installed it with new weapon editor and it appaers in loadout section but when observed on acft. station/pylon it is cocked at a 45 degree angle? Can someone please help with a fix/procedure to upright the pod. The QRC-160 in the new wep package works fine and looks great - just would like an alternate if possible. "Thanks to all the great modders out there - ya all do an outstanding job"!!! Sincerely, Niels

Thanks Eric2020 and MadJeff - appreciate you getting back to me. Still no success with Blk 20 Viper download??? Same result as before. 828 downloads as of this post - must be my setup? "Thanks again" - NIELS

I have tried several times to download the F-16 Blk 10 from team viper with no succes. Is the link broken or is it my system? "This page can not be found" is always the result. There have been 757 downloads as of this input. Is ther an alternate site or link for download? Please Help. Thanks, NIELS

Its very hard to read the words when selecting wingman/flight commands in daytime overcast sorties. Is ther any way to modify the color and size of the words/letters in the upper left hand corner of info block when selected? Thanks, NIELS

Help - Having same problem as NAVY Chief - Can not add new weapons after opening wep. editor and selecting new addons then saving. Every time weapondata.ini is accessed old/original weapondata.dat file is saved in wrong format? When loading sim I get the missleobject.dll illeagle operation problem/CTD also. Works after replacing old/original data file but new weapons/ext tanks do not appear.
