Further information how they work: They protrude (pop out) before taking off and remain protruding during the entire flight. Here is the precise sequence: 1. On the Ground (Pre-Flight / Maintenance) · Condition: The safety pins are INSERTED. · Indicator Status: The orange and yellow pins are FLUSH (pushed in, hidden in the fuselage). · Meaning: The gun and countermeasures are SAFE (mechanically locked). 2. Arming the Aircraft (Before Engine Start or Taxi) · Action: The ground crew or pilot pulls the "Remove Before Flight" flags. · Indicator Status: The spring-loaded orange and yellow pins POP OUT and remain sticking out from the fuselage. · Meaning: The systems are ARMED (ready for combat). 3. During Flight and Landing · Indicator Status: The pins remain PROTRUDING the entire time the aircraft is flying. The airflow does not push them in; they are mechanically locked in the "out" position by internal springs. · Visual Cue for Landing Signal Officer (LSO): As the jet comes in to land, the LSO actually looks for these protruding pins. If an LSO sees the orange pin is flush (missing) during a recovery, that is a major safety hazard — it means the gun might be unsafe and the pin was never removed. 4. After Shutdown (Post-Flight) · Action: The ground crew re-inserts the safety pins. · Indicator Status: The pins are pushed BACK IN flush with the fuselage. Summary Mnemonic · Pins IN = Indicators IN (Safe/Flush) · Pins OUT = Indicators OUT (Armed/Protruding) P.s. but I am confused as I didn't notice that before!

Thank you for the information

I'm curious about those red and yellow cylindrical objects that are sticking out. From the warning label on the photo ('CAUTION / DO NOT REMOVE THIS CAP / POWER SUPPLY'), it looks like they’re protective caps for electrical connectors. The red and yellow colors typically help identify various electrical systems or voltages, making sure the right caps go back on the right connectors. So, my question is: how do they come out from the jet? Do they pop out by being pushed, or is there another method? Or were they attached by the ground crew, maybe using some sort of magnet?

Yes I will be releasing it my dear friend

F/A-18C

The side effects you’re experiencing are a result of the stroke. Things will improve; it will affect one half of your body, either the right or the left side. But don’t fret; it will eventually subside. It will take some time and a lot of therapy, but you’ll get through this, my dear Volker.

Really nice work

My prayers are with you, and I hope it's a mild one. Wishing you a speedy recovery, my dear Volker. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts

Happy for you that you got it working. Fly safe and happy hunting, my friend.

Try this: . Set Compatibility Mode: This is often the first and most effective step. · Right-click on your StrikeFighters2.exe file and select Properties. · Go to the Compatibility tab. · Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 7 from the dropdown menu. Also if that doesn't fix it try to make it use DirectX 9 You can do this by adding a command line parameter to the game's shortcut. Here is the requested direction: 1. Locate the shortcut you use to launch Strike Fighters 2. 2. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties. 3. In the Target field, you will see the path to the .exe file inside quotation marks (e.g., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Strike Fighters 2\StrikeFighters2.exe"). 4. Click at the very end of this line, outside the final quotation mark, and add a space, followed by -dx9. It should look like this: "C:\YourGamePath\StrikeFighters2.exe" -dx9 Make a backup of the file before changing and i hope that will help you.

What antivirus software? You can always add the game to the antivirus software's safe list; that way, it will ignore it and run without the antivirus software intervening.
