  1. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the AI planes more aggressive in attacking and dogfighting? I have set their intelligence and experience to 100 in the .ini files and they still won't attack my plane no matter what I do. (Although they do seem to be much more adept at avoiding my gunfire and missiles when I attack them...) I will attack a plane and then drop my speed and wait for it to attack me...and it acts as though I am not even there and flies away. I only seem to be capable of dying at the hands of the SAMs, and it sure ain't 'cause I am a good pilot!

     

    Is this simply a matter of what mission I am currently flying? For instance, on the first mission of a campaign, perhaps they don't attack, but gradually get more aggressive as I complete missions and get further into the campaign?

     

    Or maybe it's because of what sort of mission that particular AI plane is set to fly? (For instance, if it's programmed to attack a ground target it may ignore air targets?)

     

    Or maybe I am just missing something... :slow:

     

    Thanks!

     

    The AI in First Eagles and Wings Over Israel are extremely aggressive and will attack you. The other games (SF, WOV, WOE) have never had AI that was overly aggressive, but that should change when they are upgraded to the same standard as the more recent versions. In the mean time, you have a chance to practice bombing before things get hot.


  2. I have often suspected that the CPU is the bottleneck for WOV, WOE and WOI because of the simluation of radar. These games have a lot of radar systems, in the planes and SAM sites. Are they all "tracking" each other? In other words, does the AI activity depend upon what is "on" the AI radar? That would be a huge drain on the CPU. First Eagles has no radar--and no slowdowns. But I'm not sure about this, it's just a theory.


  3. Hi bud. Do you know where I can view the specs of my own card? Id like to share that info with anybody who can tell me whether I'm lugging a stallion or a donkey? My suspicions are on the latter since every time I upgrade the game my game performance isn't up to scratch and get's slower and slower

     

     

    Go here:

    and scroll down to the part that says "Steps to identify your video card and driver version" and follow the instructions.

     

    I hope this helps!


  4. I went from ATI to Nvidia and if I'd paid a lot for the Nvidia card I'd be unhappy. The image quality of the Radeons is just so much better. I know this is a controversial topic-- but a word to the wise...


  5. Going to Alaska from San Francisco? There are about a million cool things along that route. Too many to see in one trip (or lifetime). That is a long, long ride over some difficult road (up north). But the scenery is one of the most spectacular in the world. The Rocky Mountians run into the sea in British Columbia. The fjords are like Norway. The mountains are like the Alps. Don't miss the sea lions at Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco. Kids would love that. The sea lions just lay there on the dock and get in the way. They're wild animals but they know they're safe. Hey--it's California!

     

    Have fun.

     

    :good:


  6. Rememba tizzy instead of hatin' ta tizzurn inside a M-to-tha-izziG, you can do a barrel-roll in tha opposite direction, n set yoself up fo` a perfect missle S-H-to-tha-izzot. This tactic is from Jizzy Boyd motha f***a.


  7. I had a problem with the game being very dark. On my old Radeon I could adjust the gamma setting for individual games, but not with my new Nvidia card. So I found this very useful little freeware utility that adjusts gamma settings. It's nothing fancy, but it allows you to change the gamma setting with two mouse clicks, then run the game, then restore the old gamma setting after you shut down the game. You can do the same thing with the Nvidia control panel, but this is simpler and easier.

    It works with XP -- don't know about Vista.

     

    Just thought I would pass this along in case anybody wants it. :yes:
