here are a few add-ons ive collected over the past several years...i think the tailwheel fix is one of the best fixes you could do if you do a lot of carrier stuff.

I have found a way to take Screen Shots in CFS2. All you need is to install this program call FRAPS and basically you can strat taking pictures immediatley.

Here is how it works.

1.Down load FRAPS

2.I install it. It usually it install intself inside my Computer C. You can also pick the location where you it install. It will create its own Folder call FRAPS.

3. Go inside the Folder call FRAPS. CLICK on the Icon call FRAPS 99. Activate Start Fraps by Minimizing it or other option.

4. Start CFS2.

5.Start Free Flight or Quick combat.

6.Press F10 if you want a Screen Shot and or if you want a short 30 secound movie press F9.

7.Minimize CFS2.

8.Go back to FRAPS folder and click on either the Movie or Screen Shoots you have just made.
Its real easy.

The best thing about it that it will allow to take shots not only in CFS2 but also with most games you play in. Another thing is that there are no limitation to the number of Movies or Screen Shoots that you can make.

You can also use it as Gun camera or simply make a short movie of a mission you really like. Its your choice. You are the Movie Director.

Here is the Web where you can find FRAPS:http://www.fraps.com/

I hope enjoy this information

James007

PS I want to thank Bear for helping me figuring out this program.

Now I want to see your Screen Shots in this Forum

For your best camera shots, Go to virtual cockpit and press the right braket key on your key board. This will give you a close up view of the cockpit gun sight. Press F9 and that will activate Fraps or press what ever else your camera program needs to be activated with and this will give you a great camera shot view.

Do not be surprise to find out you need more practice on your shooting angles and on your aiming.

Its simply a lot of fun!

Enjoy

James007

Have you ever wonder if there are more missions and campaings than the one offer in this program?

After you have flown the in game mission and campaigns there isn"t much more you can do with this program is there?

WRONG!

There are hundreds of missions and campaigns available on this Website and other Websites for our collective enjoyment.

There is also one the best Mission Builder in the Sim world in this Sim for our enjoyment and ready to be use.

Its easy to use once you get use how it fuctions.

Now with the missions and campaigns available you can mimic many of the campiagns in World war two and other wars.

You can fly and fight in for both sides in the Polish campaign. You can fly in the French campaing and in the Battle of Britain. You can particapate in the attack of Pearl Harbor or defend it. You fly for the INJ and fly in one the greatest military Blitz in history when the Japanese Empire expanded all over the Pacific in the early part of the Pacific war or participate in the Eastern Front. The Mediterenean Theater is also possible plus the the greateest Bombing campiagn in history, the Bombing of Wester Europe by the Eighth and the RAF. You can change sides and defend the Evil Nazi empire if you so desire.

Its also cool to to testing your flying skills in secound most important Battle of World war two. Yes the Battle of Midway. If you like carrier Ops this is the Battle to fly in.
Can you believe that World war two was decided in just four minutes in that Battle. Can you duplicate that feat.

What about the Solomon and New Guinea and the vast central Pacific Theater campaigns. How can you forget the Invation of Normandy and the drive to Berlin. The Battle over Japan and the short campaign in Manchuria.

How about Korea and Spanish Civil War and perhaps Vietnam in the Future. Oh yes World War One as well.

Here are some of Websites where you can get many of this campaigns.

Simviation Web it has plenty of Missions and campaigns for everyones taste.

Just read to the instructions carefuly when you down load a mission or campaing and you will be flying in it immediately.

I also highly recammend for you to learn on how build you own Missions and campaings. It very easy once you get to understand it. This is what makes this sim so much fun for me.

You know guys. What I have realize the last few days is that most of us do like to fly night missions. Very few missions that I have down loaded included night missions. I my self have created very few night missions to fly with. The reason is I believe is that night missions are just to dark. Its almost impossible to fly with CFS2 in night missions due to it been darker than any other Sim and you are unable to see any land marks or any visual marking at all. In the real World there are very few night that are dark enough for one to experience total darkness like you do through CFS2 in night missions.

Well I found a way to fly night missions and still have experience of having to fly through your instruments in night missions. Its simple!

Just download Stiz textures or other textures as the original do not reflect light that well and increase the brightness of your monitor and will see the diferrence. One should use this wisely. Other wise you will demean the experience of flying in the night.

Remember! you do not become a real pilot untill you fly in night missions or in bad weather.

If you make it to bright you will bee robbing your self from that wonderful experience.

You need to know your cockpit instruments well as they are essential to be able to fly succefuly in the night.

Good luck and good flying!

Haven you found your self wanting to make a new mission through the Mission Builder and changing your mind because it just takes to much time to get to the area you want to build your Mission with the hand pan. Lets say you want to build a mission in North Africa or in Buma. You open the Mission Builder and you pick a operation area like Europe. Well it opens in the middle of Europe and you have to scroll all the way to North Africa. Well could take you several minutes and its very tedius and time consuming and if pick Burma its even worst. You would have to scroll through the map all the way from East New Guinea.

You also have to remember all the airbases name of a area to be able to pick a specific airbase to be able to start where you want the mission to begin.

Now I have a list of Operation Areas that might just help you with this matter.
