Hello

 

thought I would introduce myself,

new to the club & some of the air games,this looks like the place to read up on and go fly with others in co-op or VS.

 

currently flying WOV , WOE ,Hawx ,Falcon 4.0 ,various Rebel and Empire fighters too.

 

I must read up on the forums,I am very new to the WOV/WOE series and its worthy to sit in front of until summer but I am dealing with some setup stuff thats more suited to the stupid questiond department for newbees,

found out the expensive way that the WOE has 2 versions of the same game but one is from Europe and other is from America...at least thats what I understand so far.

 

I am trying to install mods and other interesting things to WOV & WOE but uncertain where to start?,

so many things on the menu,

not into making skins or maps yet but still refreshing my flight sim skills after a long time away from computer and computer mechanic is a ways away.

 

anyway I got a patch thats stuck on the desktop and it wont go away (WOV_UpdateOct2008b.exe),even the teenagers cant delete it (being used by other running file or program)

 

other than that little bugger,these are some fine flying games that will keep me up in the air for some time.

 

Thanks for your time.

way cool,

I am off to a good start on the series so far,fineshed a few flights,did not finis many more.

bummer that SAM's dont show up on radar,must set up pov for view when a sam lights off,my reaction is to hit the deck regardless when a call goes out.

 

I have a satekx-45 dug out of storage,its got bugs like no throttle swich and no rudder swich (its only 11 years old) and it has many programmable buttons and I am trying to get all of my sims so I have same basic controll for weap/targ/view with all of my flight games ,makes it more familar and improve gameplay when all games have same config. -or as close as possible-

 

as for the file on desktop that wont delete,

I must have inadvertantly installed to that location (temporary dislexia?)

I have uninstalled everything and it still refuses to delete,I think a registry flush might work or a real big magnet waved over cpu might get er done!

 

as for installing the many many items for extensive gameplay,

next install is ODS-operation desert storm- then the WOV gold looks interesting.

I have read up on install,I am confident that I can do it over if 1st time dont work (on 2nd attempt now).

any recomendations on mods or missions that have stealth planes,I was a big fan of microprose F-117 stealth fighter.I am looking forward to Operation desert storm mod when I get it installed properly.

 

 

before mods,

I got a few flights in so far,

have finished a few after setup for graphic was tuned for best flight/detail instead of click-o-vision.

(radeon 9600 pro graphic kard) ,

it runs smooth now.

 

so I will read up on "how not to screw up a install" and get on it,I look forward to the many new missions.

 

stupid question department:

is the mission editor complex or can a dropout at MIT make a map for the WOE / WOV ?

 

I have the WOE & WOV game,can I use the mods for Strike Fighter & WOI or are they another game series alltogether?

 

Thanks

I prefer Kreelin's Mission Designer over Le Missioneur due to just KMD isn't too difficult to use and reads better IMHO.

 

As for the series yes but you have to patch them at the same level in order to make sure your mods work as they should.

Be prepared to experience a wild time with ODS.
