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.

First test flight for the F/A-18C, don't worry about the duplicated decal numbers; I will fix them later on.

how to make 4096 x 4096 textures

Saving the Good Guys with Auto GCAS Technology The cockpit of a fighter jet is a busy and dangerous place to work. High-speed fighter aircraft maneuvers can produce g-forces strong enough to render a pilot unconscious or cause spatial disorientation. The pace and complexity of modern aerial combat can also mentally “overload” a pilot and lead to task saturation or target fixation. All can prove deadly. Thankfully, innovative systems have been developed to reduce these risks and help eliminate the leading cause of F-16 pilot fatalities: crashing an undamaged aircraft into the ground. The Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS) was purpose-built to prevent these deadly crashes and has already been credited with 12 saves—13 pilots, 12 F-16s—since the system entered service with the U.S. Air Force in late 2014. 12 Saves and Counting This video from the head-up-display (HUD) of an F-16 illustrates how the Auto GCAS helped save the life of an F-16 student pilot who lost consciousness during a training mission. The student pilot, training with the Arizona Air National Guard’s 152nd Fighter Squadron, succumb to G-Induced Loss of Consciousness (GLOC) during a high-speed maneuver. As the unconscious pilot’s F-16 careened toward the ground, the Auto GCAS determined that a ground collision was imminent and initiated a fly up maneuver to roll the F-16’s wings level and upright as the pilot regained consciousness and added Gs to the recovery, saving both pilot and plane.

Thanks I will do that when the time is right
-
I'll attempt to connect with one of you when I finally get around to playing it so you can help me out with it.

I'd really like to, but there's so much to learn, and I just don't have the time right now. I've also tried before, but I couldn't manage to get the settings right for my joystick, haha. Maybe someday in the future!

Thank you @snapper 21 I will be making the F-18C hornet and maybe the D

Do missiles actually chase fighter jets from behind like in movies?

Do missiles actually chase fighter jets from behind like in movies?

That is sad really. -
No, not even close for a number of reasons. They fly much faster than their target so they do not have to chase; they overtake you quickly without any problem from behind and with little if any maneuvering. They are 3 times faster than you. The average time of rocket burn for a missile is only 3 -5 seconds. Of course their flight will last considerably longer as they glide and slow down but still track. They normally fly in a straight line or curvilinear path with very few corrections. They either hit you quickly on one pass, or they miss you forever. There is no “chasing”. The average of time of flight for a missile was only a number of seconds depending upon its range from target. The missile launches I have seen in movies are ridiculous. Does a bullet “chase” its target? While a SAM may change its trajectory somewhat in flight, it still flies more like a bullet and chasing is out of the question. How Long Can a Missile Follow an Enemy Fighter Jet? “A U.S. Air Force Republic F-105D Thunderchief trailing fire and smoke just after interception by an SA-2 missile on February 14, 1968. The SA-2 did not actually hit an aircraft — the warhead was detonated by a command from the tracking radar or by a proximity fuse in the missile when it neared the target, throwing deadly fragments over a wide area. The pilot, Robert Malcolm Elliot (1929-1968), was killed. His body was not recovered until 1998.” (Wikipedia) By John Chesire Former Fighter Pilot

They do, this pilot, who had paper attached to the uniform in many languages; English, Arabic, Kurdish, and others. As soon as he told them he was American and pointed to the flag on his shoulder, the Kuwaiti stopped being aggressive, as they had thought he was Iranian.

That is nice. Are we going to have them honored to be in the download section anytime soon?

Added the MIG kill to the helmet.

Three US F-15E shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.
GKABS replied to KJakker's topic in Military and General Aviation
From what I gathered from my friend (I don't need to go into detail), the US fighters had their IFF set and didn't tell the Kuwaiti Air Force about their code as they didn't take off from Kuwait. Or they had their IFF off and were likely on their way back to Jordan. The Kuwaiti air defense battery receives that signal and can identify the track as unfriendly or unknown. The Kuwaiti defenders likely saw an unidentified threat that matched the behavior of the enemy they were currently engaging, and they fired to protect their position. The failure was likely in the electronic handshake (the IFF code) or the communication link between the returning strike package and the ground defense command center. The important thing is that no one was killed or hurt. -
Just an update

I thought that making Gen. Robin Olds would be a nice addition to the pilots. I used this photo to create a face, as it was the only good one I found that shows this face from the front and in color.

How can I remove some of my old released mods?

I didn't see that

That is something only Erik can answer, but that sounds strange.

I welcome you all to the community

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Although I did not have the privilege of working with your father, as I was not a member at the time, I wish to express my admiration for him. May he rest in peace. Based on the sentiments expressed in various posts, it is evident that he was a valuable contributor to this community and a loved one.
