sounds good! Thanks for the update.

I hate to bump old threads, but didnt want to start something new. Any updates to this bird?

woah. that F-800 looks badass.

Stratos, before I got wrapped up with sweetfx, i was using a different post processing. It was available in the download section. I think there was a file you could use that would make everything look like it was being viewed from a set of NODs. However, there was no way to toggle it on or off in game. Perhaps if some code was released, we could develop a hot key that could toggle through various post processing effects, including night vision.

+1 for the F-105B.

oh no. it begins. In reference to TK: "You gotta make him a deal, you know, a deal deal! Maybe he's a republican!" - Crapgame.

I like the idea of using money to give TK inspiration to develop new things for SF2. The community has asked for inflight refueling numerous times, but honestly, like Big Dave said, i'd probably do it a few times, then go back to destroying bridges and migs. When it comes to other things, I do like the idea of a new avionics package. But, I also think its probably one of the more time consuming, expensive things that could be asked for. That brings me to think that if anything, we'll see some more aircraft and skins. Problem is, this community has made almost everything I could want to fly, and if I want to fly a particular unit, chances are that its already been tackled, and this community is so helpful that even with GIMP, you can do anything. F-8s? Mirage factory. Skins? Mirage Factory. F-4s? TONS of them. all variants are covered. F-22s, F-35s, F-16s, F-15s, F-14s, F-18s - a lot of them are covered. Its awesome. I'd like to see a F-105B short nose with an internal weapons bay for nukes to compliment the F-101s in Europe, but for all I know, someone already has one in their shop! Maybe a more intricate reconnaissance mission. But then, we could probably develop something to where you have to "kill" a target with your camera by flying over it, and "dropping" a bomb on it to see if its a mission accomplish. If I recall correctly, the community has done competitions to see who could get the mission done by posting of screenshots. Over all, i think we would need to come up with something that's feasible, financially supportable, and that can get the community behind, then propose it to TK and his crew, along with "we are willing to donate XXX amount of yankee greenbacks to make XXX happen."

Old Diego is right. Also factor in sunlight, fade, and weathering, and the variations on the colors will become greater. While FS numbers are great, often times, it presents a jet that looks way to clean.

uuuugggggghhhhh....been reading about F-105s, saw some show on the history channel about restoring an F-105, bought a board game just to move paper F-105s over downtown Hanoi.. and now after seeing your F-105s, I'm convinced to start a fresh install just to fly F-105s tomorrow. Dont want to hijack this, but do we have any F-105s here with PACAF badges on them? Thinking about trying my hand on some Yokota birds before they got rid of those colorful arrows on the intakes.

The pit is excellent. However, I got mine when it was on sale last year along with his F-102. I dont know when the next sale is, but with the holidays approaching, it might be around the corner.

Whaaaaaaaaaatttt!?!?!?!?!??!?! This sounds completely off the wall insane. However, it does sound awesome! Cant wait to see some ideas lol After doing a quick google search, I found out that Lockheed had done some things such as add the out wings of a P-38 to a different, jet powered body and came up with the L-133.

If we can mount a TER on the fuel tank hard points, we could easily mount that Mk4 gunpod, and in theory have two of them. That would turn this thing into a beast...

Believe it or not, there was, at one point in time, a gun pod attached to an F-102. Picture proof below The caption reads "Seeing a need for air-to-ground firepower greater than rockets in the weapons bay doors, Det. 3 of the 509th FIS conducted fit trials with a minigun pod hung from a TER on the drop tank mounting point. San Antonio Air Material Authority, the approving authority, was not happy with the installation's ability to withstand gun recoil and there were other practical reasons for its non-adoption. Only one was ever mounted on an F-102 and it was never fired as it was not wired to the aircraft's systems." From Wings of Fame journal, number 17 "Convair F-102 Delta Dagger" by Robert F. Dorr. While the 7.62 isnt ideal for shooting down MiGs, in SF2, I think it will suffice nicely. By attaching two gunpods, you can have a historical (yet not approved) method of engaging MiGs (and strafe trucks).

Yessir! I am almost certain it was.

maybe the F3H Demon pit?

im thinking some mystical country in africa. You can have the coast, desert, and then patches of thick jungle. Lots of technicals too. An arctic terrain would be cool too. Intercepting soviet bombers. Stopping soviet ground invasion. Im thinking 633 squadron, where you would have to hit a sheet of ice to drop a glacier on commie troop staging area. Sickness.

nice! I tried it a while back, but didnt get nearly as far as you.

lets play kick the can... If anyone thinks that this is a real solution, they have issues.

Yes. If you got BF3 Premium, preordered the BF4 deluxe edition/ BF4 Premium, or Medal of Honor Warfighter -- then you have access to the beta. In a week or so, it will be open to everyone I beleive. Anyway, it seems to me that its optimization for the PC platform is poor. Lots of people suffer from poor framerates and lag. solutions have been given. 1) Nvidia and AMD have beta drivers out designed for BF4 (didnt work for me) 2) set priority in procesess to "low" (helped a little) 3) update to windows 8 (not gonna happen) 4) roll drivers back to 320.49 for nvidia cards. yes, i know its a beta, but you gotta try it to see if you like it. Hopefully they will put some sort of patch on this to make it playable for more people. Check it out! .

Will the IL-2 community take a video of drunk Dave twerking in trade for their F-100F?

hahaha, the F-100F is a L337 (leet -- elite) aircraft, I got excited. Translation below. the F-100F is so elite. it is the best two seat aircraft devised by man kind. i can not wait to fly this in strike fighters 2! Here is the link so you too can speak LEET http://www.brenz.net/services/l337Maker.asp
