    So could be done?

    Oh wow, how did you edit the textures? A bit of a shame there's no external fuel valuie anymore, but having Left & Right, plus deleting the "0.1" shown, and using the whole fuel digits, sounds very great. So you had external fuel tanks in this screenshot? If you could explain me how you did that both in texture and ini files would be much appreciated!

    Oh so if it means 10 then the total there is 20 thousand? Didn't notice that, thanks. Is that a thing specific for TMF or some Tomcat version? Cause the Heatblur i fly in MSFS has the whole 5 digits

    So it's all correct? I play MSFS and there the speed indicator moves both kts and Mach, the latter doesn't in TMF Tomcat. In Heatblur F-14 for MSFS the Mach needle moves as soon as reached Mach 1, this one stays still and have no idea how fast i'm going. And nope, the speed is not shown on the HUD. Only D from late 90s had the HUD showing it, other ones only analogue. If i'm late for TMF, is there any other out there?

    Hi everyone, I just noticed that the speed indicator in the F-14 Tomcat by TMF (TheMirageFactory) only shows up to 800 kts, and the Mach indicator does not move, not letting you know the speed of the aircraft if you have your HUD turned off. As you can see down here, i'm at Mach 2.23, but the indicator only shows 800 kts and doesn't go above. Obviously it adapts to my altitude, so if i'm higher, then the IAS is lower, but still should move, making it impossible flying at high speed without HUD turned on as i have it down here: Another issue, maybe even worse than the previous one, is that the fuel indicator shows wrong numbers, or as i may think, it shows "a number less". For example: if i have 20000 pounds of fuel left, it should show 20000, but it shows 02000. This is a theory on how it works, not confirmed, and i'm gonna explain you why i think it is like that: I hardly think i truly have 2000 pounds of fuel left, cause i choose Fuel 100% and tried climbing and flying for a long time with full afterburner, and the numbers slowly started going down, even reached the point of burning the engine at Mach 2.30and the fuel wasn't gone yet, it showed i had like 00700 left, so i presume it's 20000 in reality, otherwise i would have been out of fuel in no time, since it's a quantity even under the bingo quantity, but i flew for minutes and minutes in full afterburner, and at 8x speed, so. Speaking of Bingo, there's no bingo indicator. Here's a picture of the fuel indicator: I tried the default F-14 cockpit, and even if that one shows correctly both speed and fuel indicators and even if it's a great cockpit, i personally like more and find more realistic and immersive the TMF one. In the end, since these two indicators are crucial, especially for flying without HUD, and the fuel indicator especially, since there's no way to know how much fuel you have left even with HUD turned on other than the cockpit indicator. So, what i'm asking is: Is there a way to fix these? A mod that remakes the indicators? Or another cockpit that is not the default one that i can use to swap this one? Thanks in advance for helping me.

    Hi everyone, I was wondering how to customize the numbers after your callsigns, since it always gives me the same ones. I think i managed somehow once, a bit of time ago, but now i forgot and have no idea how to. I'm not talking about how to customize the callsign name, but the unit number after it. As you can see in the Roster and in the picture under, i get "Fast Eagle 1-1" and "Fast Eagle 1-2" Here are some examples: The numbers on the tail, wing and nose numbers are customized, cause i managed how to change them, choosing them individually for each unit in the mission file by changing "AircraftNumber=" and typing the number, like "2" (as for 202). It doesn't change by typing the whole number tho, like 202 by typing 202, but it goes by typing the number that corresponds to the list of numbers you have. For example, In a list that goes from 200 to 400, you will have to type 10 to get 300. Here i just typed "2" and "7" since the list starts from 200 IIRC, in the past i just used to type the Aircaft number just like that, and in-game i had the proper number after the callsign, like "Fast Eagle 102", not just the number displayed on the plane livery. How do i do? I'm pretty sure that it's possible to have "Fast Eagle 102" on my screen HUD and in the Roster Thanks in advance for helping me.

    R is for Raven (EF-111A Raven)
  14. JamesWilson
    nice Thank you man
  15. JamesWilson
    oh so you tweaked the files to make the boom lower?
  16. JamesWilson
    That's great! Thank you a lot man, i'll check the read me's then And amazing screenshots btw Did you just fly close to them or also something else? Looks like the refueling boom is extended in the Eagle pics And do booms have collisions or did you just pause the game when it looked fine to you? Thx again
  17. JamesWilson
    nah it does not matter to me a lot air refueling so i'll pass over it
  18. JamesWilson
    Oh i see And you know what are the buttons to extend refuel probe/open refuel hole? Cause i opened it once on the F-16 and i don't know what i pressed Thanks
  19. JamesWilson
    oh i got it well the SF series is my favorite and everything is perfect in SF2 imho i just had this doubt if it was possible or not, but that's not that bad honestly i don't care of air refuelling that much so thank you btw
  20. JamesWilson
    oh ok, that's a shame so those screenshots i've seen are just "not real"? and so if tankers cannot refuel, they're there just for aesthetic and do nothing? so the refuelling probe/refuelling hole buttons are useless? and even if they are, what are the buttons to open refuelling probe/refuelling hole? Thx
  21. JamesWilson
    damn
  22. JamesWilson
    Hi everyone, I was wandering: can you air refuel in SF2? I've seen some pics of it and some days ago i accidentaly pressed a combo of buttons that made me open my refuelling hole in the F-16. I've also played some missions where you can find some fighters gathering around a tanker... So, can you? And if yes, what do i have to do to have the air refuelling section inside a mission? is the tanker random? And lastly, what do i have to press to open refuelling hole/extend refuelling probe inside my plane? Thank you a lot for answering and heloping me guys
  23. JamesWilson
    thanks man
  24. JamesWilson
    oh ok, thank you very very much So both mods will have a separate download page and no one of the two will ever be removed from this website correct?
  25. JamesWilson
    I was talking about the old ODS mod, the one it's been out for years now. I got a question too: once the ODS30AE mod comes out finished, will the old ODS mod be removed from this website? In theory no, since the ODS30AE is a completely different mod, not related to the old ODS mod right? So we'll get both on here? Thanks
