Just got a new machine and wanted to install WOV on windows 7. Will it work? Anything to look for or do differently? I have a disk version

In real life in Vietnam, what planes used ECM pods and what % of the time? Just wondering as I've been adding ECM pods to my campaigns, but not sure if it's realistic. I'm guessing F-4's didn't, but Thuds probably did?

Been away for a while and want to add weapons to campaigns/planes: 1) Want to add the aim 9d to an f-8 campaign. There used to be a .ini file in the campaigns folder I could do this (I also had to change the date I think). How would I enable the f-8 to fly with aim 9d in campaign? 2) Want to add ALQ pods to F-4's. I think i had to use a weapon editor if I remember right. How do I add to the plane and same as above, make it enabled in campaign.

in what file? The WOV install I have there's no campaigndata.ini. Just the ROllingThunder.ini.

Was going to get around to trying to use a russian cockpit for the mig 15/17 and 19. What russian cockpits are available for 50's 60's era planes I can use. I know of the mig 21 cockpit where the cockpit closes when you start to taxi. I think there's an Su-7 cockpit somewhere? Any others?

I'm finally getting around to the new updates for WOV, WOE and SFP1. I noticed there's an UpdateOct2008b. Is this the only one I need? So fresh install, then this update?

Looks like I probably need to update my drivers to get SH3 mod working properly. However, my main concern is screwing something up in this game, (or lomac or Il-2). Any feedback on latest drivers with a 6800gt?

The very last dogfights episode is airing on the history channel this Sat, if you're interested. http://www.history.com/shows.do?episodeId=...p;action=detail Also, season 2 is on sale. Looks like a good father's day present. http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=114190

I installed the latest mig 17/19 cockpits and everytime I hit the snap forward view button, or go outside cockpit and then back inside by hitting F1, the default view is over my left shoulder. Any way to fix?

Weird, it doesn't do it with any other cockpit. I am using ch software, but shouldn't affect just these 2 cockpits. Maybe I'll try reinstalling again.

http://www.history.com/minisites/dogfights/ They have 2 full seasons. You can buy season 1. Season 2 will be out in May. After that, the show is kaput because they have a twit for a VP.

For those who are interested, seems there are new episodes for the dogfights series on history channel. A new episode every night this week. Unfortunately, the time stinks at 11 pm EST. Who knows, the way history channel has ditched this series, anything can change, but as of right now, a new episode is scheduled for Monday night with one every night. http://www.history.com/minisite.do?content...p;mini_id=51833 If you're not interested in the series, please keep your comments to yourself so this doesn't turn into a political debate.

Not sure if this is well known yet, but giving my wife a christmas list and wasn't sure if this would be out by then.

I know this has been discussed to death, but I installed the uber AI mod to all my SF installs and I'm not sure I see a difference. Just wanted to check if I did anything wrong. Just install to the objects root folder, right? I've only checked flying wov on american side. The migs might be a little more evasive, not sure. And WOE nato side. A mig 21 still had to pull up directly behind me, sit there for 5 seconds, and then finally fire to hit me. And it still took several shots. Again, just wanted to make sure I installed correctly and not missing anything.

Yup, AI set to hard. Maybe I just haven't played around with it enough. I just wanted to make sure I haven't missed anything on the install.

I want to fly a campaign starting in 1967 or 68 for WOV so I can have an early war campaign without the aim-9B. Any problems with just changing the year date in the campaign file?

Thanks. Would I need to add the aim9d or aim 9E to the specific individual squadron's supply section?

Flew an F-8E mission in campaign and upon returning, the carrier was not moving. Really blows when you had a great mission and the friggen thing is dead in the water. Made landing very difficult, almost impossible.

Where did you get the F-86A?

At least that's the rumor anyway. There is a forum at the history channel which has several people indicating the show has been canceled. http://boards.historychannel.com/forum.jsp...rumID=800000053 Nobody knows if they'll finish up season 2 or when will be the last show or if it's even true. People have contacted the history channel and the official response has been they have no plans to cancel the show. However there are some good sources (people who work with the animators) who have indicated it is true. I hate starting/spreading rumors (this one is worth spreading even if it's wrong), but if anyone is interested in the show, contact history channel via the email below to express interest in the show. Maybe there's a chance the high up execs will reconsider. If it's not canceled, maybe they'll be motivated for a season 3 with all the support. thc.viewerrelations@aetv.com

Too bad, I'd love to see more of that. Yup all my settings are at hard except for the HUD setting.

How is this damage possible in jet age? When I get hit, i'm either dead or ...well dead. Didn't think the damage modelling was that detailed. Kinda stinks actually, cuz I never even have a chance to bail. It's always just dead.

I was playing around with the Neshar and when I drop the tanks, the tanks don't visually drop. They say they drop, but they are still visible. Not sure if it's just a visual thing or if it's really still sucking from the tanks. This is the 2 wing tanks. The center tank drops fine.

In the mig 21, when the vertical scan line scans across, the whole screen goes fuzzy and remains fuzzy all the time. Is there a fix?

ok, thanks. wasn't sure.
