May he rest in peace.

Everyone, the end of support timescale is published here (Win 7:2020; Win 8.1: 2023): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-sg/windows/lifecycle

Thanks for the answer Caesar.

Does one need to own SF2NA in order to obtain the new avionics feature at April 2012 patch?

Happy 10th Anniversary Combat Ace!! Thank you everyone for making this such a great site especially for TW sims!

Aces: Iron Eagle III

Some of my favourite dates have been taken, so I go by 5 March 2012 then :)

It's a known bug for WOV at that patch level. But if I remember correctly, installing the WOV Expansion Pack Gold solves the problem.

Hey MiGBuster, I think you meant to say June 2010 patch? I don't see any July 2010 patch for SF2 in Thirdwire's download site and I remember 1st reading the feature in TW's forum concerning the June 2010 patch (see GrimViper's comment: http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB3w/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7753&start=16). I also found it being implemented at that 2010 patch. Personally I didn't like how that feature is being implemented. It feels like a cheat mode to me. Upon requesting help, within a minute additional allied fighters seem to pop out of nowhere. I did some experimenting and observing that happened through the Map view. It looks to me that the enemy AI can do the same thing too.

Thanks for the replies man. It is really informative

Thanks very much for the info Crusader. Any idea how the pre-LASTE A-10 variant bomb their targets with the dumb bombs since it doesn't have the CCIP function?

Thanks Crusader for the mod. I have a question though. Which year was the HUD avionics in the A-10 upgraded that resembles the default HUD in SF2E or WOE? I tried to look for information on this but not successful.

Thank you guys

It may not be new in that the Strike Eagle cockpit was already modded or included in the F-15 Superpack for SF2. But if I'm not wrong it's new for SF1. So, I do look forward to use this cockpit for the WOE Desert Storm mod :)

GalmOne, you can download a free pdf copy of Sierra Hotel here: www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a476975.pdf Enjoy ;)

Thanks guys! I really appreciate for the enlightening replies, especially Crusader for attempting to do so despite a PC crash. So now I know, no TWS function for APG-63 until the mid-80s.

Thanks for the Enhancement file Crusader! I'm curious to the reason why there isn't a TWS mode. I'm not questioning your modding skills. I believe you can easily add it. I always thought TWS mode comes with the APG-63 radar of the F-15. So the statement about not having a TWS mode surprised me. Appreciate your enlightenment on this. Thanks :)

In my opinion, I think the 3rd movie should be considered 2nd, while the 2nd movie, 3rd. That's because I noted in IE2 Chappy was promoted to one-star General, while in IE3 he was a Colonel. But in IE4 you see the one-star rank on him. Of course, it is also possible to theorize that he was back to the rank in Colonel in IE3 and before he retired, got promoted to one-star General rank again. One of the hilarious things I noted in IE2 was how a Sidewinder was used to take out a mobile SAM unit

Lol, I didn't expect it would make it to Australia's Current Affairs. Interesting network coverage and interviews: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8226423/casey-the-punisher-tells-of-bullying Apparently in the video was a 12 year old kid bullying a 15 year old. The 12 year old bully claimed he was provoked but regardless who started I hope he really learned and meant what he said: "Don't bully because you end up getting hurt bad." http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8226894/net-video-bully-sorry-but-says-he-was-provoked

That event happened in a school in Sydney, Australia. Here's a news blog on it: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/opinion/blogs/blunt-instrument/kudos-to-the-kid-but-that-could-have-been-tragic/20110316-1bx55.html

Looks like China is denying that it made use of US technology (from the fallen F-117 in the Balkan air campaign in 1999) in building the new J-20 prototype: http://www.todayonline.com/World/EDC110126-0000205/Stealth-technology-not-from-US-plane,-says-China

Seeing the map of this new Persian Gulf Terrain sure reminds me of Microprose's F-19 Stealth Fighter of long ago.

O, there's an 08 level for DBS already? Ah, silly me. Thanks for your reply and also the tip on doing the instruction for SF2 KB in reverse. WL

Hi Wrench, Is there a Knowledge Base on converting terrain made for SF2 to SF1 Oct 2008 standard?
