Thanks USAFMTL, those updates look good, nice to know that the updates are still continuing (after that post at SimHQ about a "limited release"). I especially like the missile site in the first shot. Great job! Looking forward to this update!

 

Excuse my ignorance, but didn't the A-team build the Coral Sea and the Enterprise? It would be pretty easy to implement them into a campagin. Also, the screenies show them...

** Operation Tainted Cigar Ver 2.0 **

*******************************************************************************

 

This is a complete upgrade of Operation Tainted Cigar, to be compatable with

Strike Fighters: Project 1 v08.30.06 and Wings Over Europe v08.30.06. Previous

versions of OTC are not needed nor compatible.

 

Work specific for this update was done by USAFMTL, Deuces, Fubar512, and

JSF_Aggie.

 

Thanks to Crab_02 for testing and quality control.

 

In addition, several 3rd party addons from the SFP1 community were added to

this updated version of OTC. Please read through the credits for the SP4

update, as well as the list of contributors for the original OTC released

10-28-2005.

 

*******************************************************************************

** Install Instructions **

*******************************************************************************

 

- Create a seperate install of either Strike Fighters: Project 1 or Wings Over

Europe.

 

- Patch your install to the latest version via the patch(s) available at

www.thirdwire.com. At the time of this release, the current version is

v08.30.06. You will see your current version in the bottom, right corner of

the MainScreen.

 

- Drop the contents of this package into your install's main directory,

overwriting all files.

 

- If you chose to install this into Wings Over Europe, one more step is

required. In the /Terrain/Cuba/Cuba.ini change:

 

CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat -->> CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

 

*******************************************************************************

** Troubleshooting Tips **

*******************************************************************************

 

- Please read through the bullets below prior to posting any questions. OTC

has been tested over a long period of time, but I'm sure there is a bug

here or there that we missed. If you find something you believe is a bug,

we would appreciate your feedback.

 

However, if you are seeing something as obvious as "my carrier is missing",

or "my campaign is CTD'ing at mission start", check what you did, and verify

you only did what are in these instructions. Do you really think we would

have released this if we had not played through several campaigns? If this

seems harsh, or pisses you off in some way, go play something else.

 

- Use a seperate install. Of course it is possible to merge these files

into an existing install, if you know what you're doing. If you choose to

not use a seperate install, don't expect any technical support. We can't

fix your problems if we don't know what all you've installed.

 

- If you do not have any runways and/or you are exploding on the ground, it is

because your terrain isn't finding a cat file. Check the line in the file

Cuba.ini: "CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat"

 

- Do not install any weapons pack. All required weapons are included in the

package. If you cannot load weapons onto your aircraft, this is the

reason.

 

- This was primarily tested with Strike Fighters: Project 1. It was briefly

tested in Wings Over Europe. It was NOT tested in Wings Over Vietnam do

to the lack of the Il-28. If you choose to install into WOV, don't expect

any technical support.

 

- Load times are long prior to mission start. I assume this is because of

many hi-res textures, and a large variety of ground objects used in the

terrain.

 

- Unfortunatly, none of this was tested on what I would consider a low end

machine. If you are experiencing frame rate issues it may be do to the

hi-res runway textures, hi-res cockpit textures, or the hi-res F-100 skins.

Any news about the release?

 

It's been done for about a week, but because of FTP problems and a work trip, I didn't get it all uploaded to USAFMTL until last night.

 

He should have it up here soon. I would say a day or two, worse case.

[+drdoyo 2]

Hey guys, That looks great!!!! USAFMTL, those screens of the terrain are wonderful!! I've flown over Cuba, into Jose Marti Intl to be exact, and those terrain textures are the best representation of what it actually looks like I've seen. I havn't had a chance to download OTC yet, but I intend to now :) !!

[Hawk MMS 0]

I just started flying this and all i have to say is Outstanding. I am loving it. The menu screens are awesome. Just wanted to say thanks. Flak galore. the first mission out I had used my whole payload to kill the launcher. So much fun.

Thanks to all once again.

[+PureBlue 71]

Yes it is a BLAST!!

I just started campaigning it yesterday, First time out , tasked to bomb a missile site SW of the island, flying lead to 8 F-100D's. At about half way, hooked up with our Migcap Phantoms from USS Coral Sea! Just about 10 miles out all hell breaks loose. The flak and explosions were so loud, I kept jumping in my seat, gave my orders to the flight, dumped my bombs in a hurry and just ran my ass out of there. jinking crazy with sams and migs all around... oh man it was so exciting!

 

Great job guys, top notch menus, beautiful grafix, lots of fun. Thank you OTC team!
