Hi everyone Have just noticed that the folder I download planes, skins, ground objects, missions and all the rest of the files I use in SF1/WOV now stands at 8gb! I cant thank enough the modders who have added so much to these games. THANKS EVERYONE ( Yes I Am Shouting!) By the way having seen the work in progress me thinks a bigger hard drive is needed!!

Um I wasn't talking about installs just the files I had download, that is 8gb of Zips and Rar files. SF1 abd WOV take another 13gb! Cheers Snapper 21

Was just wondering how big the map is, can you see any of Britain or Norway etc? Cheers Snapper 21

Hi everyone Have read all the chat about Yankee Air Pirate ( Yes those discussions) but still find myself interested. Just wondering if any of the beta testers would like to post some comments. I would love to see more CAS missions where you were not fighting tanks all the time. Also will there be campaigns for the F-111 etc? Cheers Snapper 21

Hi everybody Have a question about the F-18A Hornet, which is the most realistic Avionics file for this aircraft? Should the new Avionics70.dll file be saved for when a F-18C is released? Just a question, not a moan or anything like that just wondering what you all think. Cheers Snapper 21

That will be great for aircraft like the F-18 and F15E. Still wish there was a way to mimic the attack radars for the Intruder and F-111. As for the Hornet I just cant decide, CCIP means that I am more accurate with dumb bombs but I like the terrain avoidance radar now if only that could be brought together with the autopilot :)

Hi have just been knocking down Mig 29s in my F-4 when I noticed the Russian planes didnt have any missiles loaded, oh well war is Hell! Now I know what I have to do that is change the loadout file to read Russian names not NATO. My question is this do I have to change the bombs and air to ground missiles as well? Cheers Snapper 21

The weapon pack I was talking about is already out, its done by Rob "Bunyap" Mcray and other very talented people, all I am doing is changing the loadout file of planes so that the Russian planes missile show up. Cheers Snapper 21

Hi have downloaded the latest OV-10A Bronco, the default loadout has a ER-142/ALR-53 ECM set when this is selected there seem to be parts flying in formation with the plane not bolted on to the plane. Other weapons on the centerline look fine, any ideas? Cheers Snapper 21

Thanks Bunyap That worked a treat, had loaded the OV10A noticed the ER-142 set and presumed it had come with the plane! Doh! Cheers Snapper 21

Hate to bring this thread back on topic, but I would just like to add that there is a load of Russian planes, and ground objects out there. In my humble opinion we are only missing the TU-22M Backfire, SU-27 Flanker, SU-25 Frogfoot, SU-24 Fencer, MIG-27 and maybe the MIG-31. With the new WOE game many of these could be used in late 80s-90s missions. :) Cheers Snapper 21 P.S. Have just finished editing 21 loadout files for Russian aircraft to the new weapons pack!

Hi USAFMTL read your post on SimHQ about the B1 had the same thought myself. But am not sure you could handle all that power at low level! For some practice I think you should re-enact the B52 airfield strike in Tom Clancys Red Storm Rising book. Using the Malvinas map you could take off from Argentina and bomb a Mig 29 infested Mount Pleasant airport. Its just a pity we haven’t got the F111 Raven to do the jamming, think the F-4G will do the round trip with three drop tanks! Anyway think you need the practice!! :yes: Glad CombatAce is back and healthy will be visiting a lot!

Welcome back Combat Ace its been quiet without you!!

Hi have now got the TARPs pod showing up on my F14A, Beauty! Does anybody know if the F14 would carry any sparrows on its belly pylons as well as the TARPS pod? Cheers

Thanks Caesar, sorry but now have another question, I put the TARPS pod on the first Phoenix pylon, which reding your reply sounds wrong, does Tarps sit on the centerline or is it in a position similar to rear Phoenix pylon Cheers Dont worry have found this: TARPS is carried on the right rear fuselage tunnel station. The pod requires additional control, power, and environmental control connections, and so Tomcats had to be specially modified to carry it, with about 50 aircraft given TARPS capability. The modifications did not rule out carriage of the Phoenix on that station. The system is controlled by the RIO in the back seat who has a specialized TARPS display to observe reconnaissance data, though the pilot does have a camera on-off switch on his stick as well. AAMs can still be carried on the wing glove pylons for self-defense

What planes from the Vietnam era would have used the new radar or ccip from the Avionics 70.dll file?

Hi just a quick question is anybody working on a Tornado F3 or F14D Tomcat?

Oh my GOD this game just gets better and better! :yes:

I stand corrected, now all I need is someone to sit next to me and work the DIANE! :)

Me thinks the A6 had CCIP, bring on Flight Of The Intruder and those damn truck parks I could never hit even with CCIP. Have read that you cant have ground radar with CCIP it would be a shame to lose Terrain Avoidance though I dint know how useful it is in the game.

Thanks for that didnt know if I was doing something wrong, does that mean that all BVR missiles need to be fire in visual range? ie the AIM 54 on the Tomcat havent been able to lock onto a radar target beyond the 10nm boresight range.

Hi everyone, I have downloaded the new weapons pack and have installed it in my Wings over Vietnam game and everything seems to work fine. Have also installed in a second version lots of modern aircraft, when I go to the create mission screen and select say A-10 no date comes up, I thought I had read somewhere this can be changed, does anybodu know what file I change? Thanks for your Help Snapper 21 P.S To all the plane and weapon pack creators YOU ARE GODS!!!

Thanks that works great. Cheers Snapper 21
