You can try on Win7. I tested the patch on Win10 64bit.

Thank you very much!
When mod is installed, game CTDs whilst loading the 3D engine. Without mod everything seems to be working:)

@Dornil: Do you have NVIDIA or AMD GPU?

Maybe you need increase "VideoMemorySize" to "512" in "wine.reg" and confirm registry changes.

@Dornil: If you confirm that incresed "VideoMemorySize" to "512" has been solved CTDs then I will change "wine.reg" config.

Tried changing to 512. Now it CTDs right after I click USAF.exe, can't even get to menu.
NVidia, GTX 1060 6gb

So I tried to paste this new patch over the one I got from moddb, but all I get is in the attachment.
No compatibility setting from Windows changed anything.

I can try a clean reinstall if you think this might help.
Running an nVidia GTX1030 on W10.

Thank you so much for helping!

32 or 64bit W10?

64bit.

I will upload version with dgVoodoo but there is no fullscreen support. Just flying in window mode. You can try this version then.

You can try set of patches:

Let me know please, how it works for you.
Nvidia users don't forgot execute "wine.cfg" and confirm registry changes.

Many thanks!!!

Still using Win7.

But the upgrade to allow changing weapons.ibx works!

I changed parameters for more SAM to be fired... and, well....... now it's pretty hard with a bunch of missiles cchasing you.

The original parameters are only 2 SAM on the air and they are fired 45 seconds AFTER the last SAM vanishes..

THANKS for keeping this game alive.

I've been trying to get this game working for off & on a few several years, I used to enjoy playing this back years ago when Jane's sims were big. I've tried extracting the older patch from the ModDB site with no luck, running the USAF one core .bat file, after the game starts up & the initializing screen appears it then CTD's. I would love to get this going again, any help would be appreciative!! I've read tons & tons through forums and through the ModDB page also. I'm running a newer i9 9900K processor with an Nvidia 2080 RTX card.

Hey guys,

managed to get IAF working on Win10, but not USAF... it wildly switches between full and windowed mode... crashing right after loading up a mission. Any suggestions? Many Tackleberry Links are offline.

Greetings,
Cabal

Thanks for all your efforts!

I'm just getting back into trying USAF. I miss the game dearly.

I am running a windows 7 box with the 1.02F and Moddb patch on a fresh install.

Is there a link for a newer patch? All the links I could find on this forum are dead links.

Are there any extras I can download? HQ patches, ETC?

I cant seem to get my joystick working - a Thrustmaster t-flight Hotas x- I can see it in the hardware section of windows as a game controller, and it functions properly there, but not within USAF.

Also, the game freezes every time I try to open the preferences section in the main menu. Ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any luck finding the latest patch? The link is dead.

I just signed up over the weekend to ask the same thing!

I'd also like to find the latest patch to Jane's USAF. On a separate note, I believe there is enough interest out there to get the old Jane's flight simulators onto something like Steam, Origin, GOG, or something similar so we don't have to struggle to find patches and go through these issues. EA owns Jane's simulators, but they're hesitant to do anything with them unless they know how much of an interest there is out there. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make this happen? Maybe get a bunch of likes on a forum somewhere asking for something like this to happen?

More than 20 years ago I wrote a short guide on JF-15 focusing on some weapon data hex editing. Missile, bomb and sensor data were presented in database style format, unencrypted. Some 70% of attributes were recognized, just for fun of making B-61 nuke in the arming screen. That was at least few years TSH rolled out 1st mod for SuperHornet. I put the guide on some of most popular JF-15 sites (can't remeber if that was Psycho Central or something similar) but never reached a level of decent completenes. Anyway, within few weeks I got PM on some forum, some guy close to support chain for JCS told me that EA law department checked out guide for possible IP infrigement, but passed on as harmless. From current perspective, it seems quite interesting that GoG or at least Origin did next to nothing to adapt some of most flight sim immersive titles ever developed. Naval games as 688(I) Hunter Killer or Fleet Command were developed by other studios which retained rights to source code and thus those games resurfaced on Steam. Maybe it would be a good idea to get some traction and form a campaign to boost those titles on GOG - they seems to be most open for suggestions and feel for pre2K era games, perhaps they could disclose if those Janes flight sims are dead for running on modern systems.
