Here you go. Thank to JSF_Aggie. He went through great pains to get this out, literally.

[+Dave 2,322]

Oh read the read me...

[+JSF_Aggie 1,291]

Thanks Dave.

 

If you guys haven't tried the single missions made by comrpnt, you really need to. There are many new ones added with this patch.

 

Also note, campaigns you're currently flying won't continue to behave after this patch. You'll need to start them over.

Next time do what my wife did, Aggie, and get a spinal! The pain just floats away...

I did, and it was incredible how quick the headaches went away, but it only lasted about 12 hours before they came back.

[+Brain32 265]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[+Dave 2,322]

Any issues so far people?

[+Brain32 265]

Well aside from me rushing to install it and carelessly flying over the readme - so far no :)

[Vader2 1]

Works well for me!

Thank you gents!

:yes: :yes:

[jomni 6]

did this fix the OV-10 spinning wildly in the runway?

haven't downloaded the patch at the moment.

[Guest a10boar]

Any issues so far people?

 

No issues at all.Found it nice to wait my turn for take off on the FAC mission.There were 8 A-10A's in front of me.Give me time to look around and discover the sites and sounds of Desert Storm.This should've been boxed up and sold.On the other hand,glad all of you didn't on a selfish thought.

[the test pilot 5]

I absolutely agree on the "waiting to takeoff" thing.

 

it's damn nice to look at those aircrafts. For an exeample, at the E-8C that lands on the first FAC mission on the OV-10A

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Looks great!

Saddly, my comp starts to show its age and is barely able to run ODS. I guess I'll have to wait for a new one to fully enjoy that awesome mod.

[crl848 9]

Really, the quality of this mod amazes me. It's a new experience for this series. Thanks to all the authors.

[+Jug 99]

[fallenphoenix1986 603]

Thanks guys

[Lt. James Cater 62]

Thanks for the patch!

 

I'll apply it once i get done doing my current EF-111A tour.

[+comrpnt 16]

Glad you all seem to be enjoying the Patch. Your kind words are much appreciated.

 

All the best, regards, comrpnt. ;-)

[MigBuster 2,883]

Fine addition to a brilliant piece of work!

[fallenphoenix1986 603]

anyone else finding that theyre being awarded medals without really doing much?

I started a new career and got the MOH on my first mission and the Silver Star on my second. Everythings set to hard so it seems kind of strange.

 

Craig

 

PS. I dont want anyone thinking I'm complaining, as its fairly trivial, just wondering if its happening to anyone else.

[TurtleHawk 6]

Thank you for the original and the patch!

I have not seen it. We didn't do anything to intentionally change the requirements for receiving medals.

 

I'm not sure what the game looks at for giving out medals. My guess would the sum of points for the targets destroyed, as defined in the terrain's _types.ini.

 

If it keeps repeating, post some of your mission results, i.e. how many targets were destroyed and what type, etc.

[viperBAT32 2]

what campaign/mission did u fly? what mods do u have? I had a similiar experience only recieving medal of honor on 1st mission,but no medals on second mission after more tgt kills than first!(btw...i'm flyin' on ODS and NATO1,2,3,4)...Maybe you just rocked the enemy beyond the call to rtb?.....I think u should just accept and go on!

[viperBAT32 2]

...I must add that when i received the MOH that i had shot down a mig-23 while on the tail of my wingman and he took major damage,but was able to return to base!(not to toot my own horn!)
