I HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX THIS "AFTER 2008 PATCH" LAG AND FREEZE ISSUE Hi guys, after understanding i had to update my version of SFP1 (i had the very first version), i went on Combat Ace to download the patch… I found a pack that included all patches, but it required the last SFP1 service pack installed. So i went on Third Wire web site and i downloaded the last service pack (v. 05.15.06), then i installed it on my SFP1 file. After that, i went back to Combat Ace, to install the patch pack on my SFP1 file, it finally worked. After doing so, i started playing SFP1, i instantly saw that the settings had reset, i could finally choose the year to play with, and other normal changes. I decided to start a mission, just to see what else changed, and an INCREDIBLE AND MASSIVE LAG STARTED, I COULDN' T EVEN PLAY, IT KEPT FREEZING, STUTTERING, LAGGING, LIKE 5 FPSs. Before i installed these files (service pack and patch), the game was veeeeeeery smooth, at high detail (the game is very old and i have a poweful pc too), i had no problems… but i decided to update it because the version i had was too old (lots of feautures missing). I had also played Wings Over Europe in the past, and i knew that the oldest versions of the game (previous to 2008 patch) used to run very bad on modern computers, but in my case, in SFP1 is the contrary!!! Only after installing these packs all these problems started… i also tried to play it on lowest settings, but the difference is almost absent. Please help me, i got no idea on what to do, why this happened, and if needed, how to restore to the version before i applied these patches. This is a very very big issue for me, it turned one of my favourite games into a TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE game! I want to thank you all guys, for constantly helping me and people like me, who love the Strike Fighter series, but has no clue on how to mod and change this awesome game

So what should i do? What can i do to fix this enormous issue?? I' m really desperate…. Should i reinstall the game? And from where should i install the latest patch?

So how should i do? Should i reinstall SFP1 and re-download the last patch from TW web site?

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RADARS IN SOME DOWNLOADED AIRCRAFTS Hi, since i got SFP1, i downloaded some planes from this web site, like the F-15A Eagle and the F/A-18 Hornet. The only problem is that some planes have a working radar, like vanilla planes, and some others doesn't even have it, and i don't know why. All planes i downloaded are from "The Mirage Factory", and when i downloaded them for SFP1 on my old computer (the FX version of the game), they all had a working radar panel, but not now. I don't think the problem is the plane packs that i downloaded, they' re all from TMF, and they all work well. Please help me, cause i got no idea on how to fix this issue… Thank you very much for helping, it means alot

I am using only SFP1 planes, and some planes have a working radar (like the Hornet), and some not (like the Eagle)... I don't know why, maybe i unzipped wrong some files, or put them in a wrong file section….. i got no idea. I don't think i have the updated version of the game, i just downloaded it.. btw, i' m not sure, but i don't think that this problem is linked to the version i am using, and i don't think that's a problem of the specific plane packs i downloaded, cause they're all from TMF and they all work well… THE PROBLEM IS: when i play with an Hornet (for example), i can toggle on or off the radar panel on the top right, and change the radar mode too, like all others vanilla planes; but when i play a plane like the Eagle or the Tomcat too, the radar panel does not appear, i press the button to activate it or change radar mode and nothing happens... This is a very big issue, for example without radar i cannot see enemies detected, watch for incoming "SAMs" or even using a radar guided missle like the "Sparrow", if you have any idea or solution please let me know, i' m desperate…

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!! I' m so happy you gave me such a complete and detailed answer! As i said at the beginning of the topic: the Combat Ace community is the BEST

I AM CONFUSED ABOUT ENEMY PLANES AND EDITORS ON SFP1 Hi guys. i have to say that i'm new in Strike Fighters world… in reality i played it alot, but from FX Interactive, now i got SFP1 for the second time and i started modding it, i added some aircrafts, like F-15 or A-10 ecc. The game works pretty well, and the addons that i downloaded from this site too! They are really well made, and this web site is awesome! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS: I got no idea on how to change enemy aircaft… i'd like to have different enemy planes to play with, like SU-35 or Mig-29, i always fly my new planes like the F/A-18 Hornet, and i don't want to fight always against Mig-15 or Mig-21! The other (and last) problem is: which mission editor do i need to download? and how do i create a working mission to play with?? I WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING, THIS IS AN AWESOME COMMUNITY, LIKE NO OTHERS

Oh no… that's sad but thank you for telling me

Thank you very very much! And how do i play the missions i create? And the other members also said that you could not edit missions in SFP1 and Wo* series... So how do these editors exist? So do they work?

Ok, thank you very much. So sadly if i still want to play SFP1 and not the second one, i won't have any edited mission… so is my dream of landing on a carrier in SFP1 disappeared? And my second and LAST QUESTION is: how do i change plane models of the enemies? What can i do if i want to dogfight against Su-35s or Mig-29s instead of Mig-15s and Mig-21s??? THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR ANSWERING ME, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT

And where is the pen? On the editor or in the vanilla game? And how do i change enemy planes? Do i have to download them from "addons Aircraft" section?

Ok, Thank you very much my friend :)

So how should i do with SFP1?
