First off stop YELLING.

 

Check you files see if they are labeled F-111 and not F_111 same with the cobra's

There's one in the varks pack that was/is here at CA when the downloads come back online.

Websearch F-111 cockpit SFP1.

The read me file in the vark pack tells you exactly what web site to go to for the pit.

Do you have a sub folder in there somewhere? Also check to see if one or some of your files say 0 bytes?

did you take the individual F-111s out of the sub folder and put them into the aircraft folder?I usualy unzip them into a holding folder then move each one into the aircraft folder manualy.

That's it exactly i'll bet he has one folder that says F-111 instead of the 5 or 6 different folders that he should have.

The F-111 is a great addon .... but it kills my precious fps!! I wish it was redone with performance considerations

Resize the F-111 BMPs with Paint. Do that or do the ini change. Won't be long before somebody posts that.

If we did that all the time there would be some crappy looking planes out.

Hi Fellas,

 

Sorry to pileon w/a newb question, but one poster suggested altering the F-111 bmp file in order to reduce the fps hit. Once the bmp is opened for each file in paint, do I then save it as a 16 bit (from 24 bit in my instance) to get the desired effect?

 

Thanks,

No, you resize it not change the bit of it. go from 1024x1024 to 512x512

Thanks for the tip, it didn't cross my mind and it might help :) .... and if not, well I guess I will learn to live with it

For those that are new at this (like me), here are all the F-111 parts:

 

1. F-111's are at the link below. The readme tells the steps needed.

2. F-111 Cockpit:

http://www.schmidtwerner.de/products/e_f-111_pit.html

 

3. Sound files required for F-111 - from F-14A. (If you've already got the F-14A in the same install of the game where you'll be putting the F-111's, no need for this.)

Thanks... just downloaded those now too.

 

I've had this game series for only a couple weeks now... One thing I've noticed is that a backup of SFP1/WoV/WoE plus all the accumulated download files now almost fills 2 DVD's... it's a fast-growing space hog.
