    I got a problem here guys, it's probably my system's fault but it came out while installing the patch so I'm gonna post it here:

    While installing the ODS patch, all of a sudden my HDD started making some wild sounds (like the infamous clic of death) and I had to reboot manually.

    After a consistent number of these abrupt stops, I managed to install the patch by manually copying the required files in multiple attempts (e.g. first weapons decals and groundobjects, then UI and everything else, then aircraft from letter A to E...that sorta things) and succesfully merging the GUNDATA and WEAPONDATA. Now the patch sits in my install but the game won't work: when I start a campaign or even select single mission in the main screen, the game just goes to a black screen with the same old wild sounds coming from the HDD, and there's nothing I can do but to reboot via the power button.. Based on my experiences, I can deduce it's an HDD data access problem, but the funny thing is that everything else I have in that partition works just fine, it's a WOE problem only.

    I should add that this is my only WOE install, an enormous merge of various mods that always proved to work fine, even when I added ODS to it.

    Anybody knows if there's a way out of this issue, or anybody had any similar problems with the ODS patch?

    Thanks in advance for your time, guys!

    Hope to get this thing sorted out, I feels just painful...

    Hello to the aforementioned people,

    I have a upper-beta mod representing the Turbokat from the old Hanna-Barbera cartoon Swat Kats, which uses parts from the Mirage Factory's F-14 and Typhoid's F-14D mod.

    I therefore request permission to release such beta-stage aircraft in a package including the whole aircraft folder and the original F-14D readme by Typhoid, which also contains the authors' list for the original TMF mod.

     

    I hereby attach a copy of my readme's Copyright disclaimer for you to check. In case you want to grant me permission for the release,

    please suggest me any edits I should perform:

     

    ---

    COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER AND NOTICE:

    Copyright notes for the TMF F-14A and F-14D mods are in the enclosed original readme.

    Skin, loadout and hangar screens by me (hide86).

    This package MAY contain copyrighted material.

    This package may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware addition.

    See the original readme documentation (if any) for further allowances and restrictions about editing and redistribution.

    Waiting for your kind reply and thanking you all,

    My best Regards!

    I'm currently 22, I'll be 23 next May! Thanks for the info, Fallenphoenix, I see we're the same age!

    You know, I still don't understand why an Air Force would limit to 23 while a Naval Aviation (like FAA) would set 26, I just can't get it :D

    Well, I already applied for Italian Air Force Academy, I had my first pilot grade on SF-260 prop trainers but I was dismissed because of number redundancy (61 allowed, I was 62nd...), then the following year I tried again but despite being considered suitable, my maths degree at the military exam wasn't high enough...Now I'm out of the maximum allowed age for both regular AF pilots and Navy pilots, my only chance would be as a AUPC (AUPC course, complementary pilots), but they're not starting the selection again for funding problems (last government raped the Defence of much of its money, so they're putting top priority on vehicle updates and acquisitions rather than on personnel...).

    I'll try and do some more research, maybe emailing the Navy directly. Thank you so much guys, CA is invaluable as always!

    Hello everybody, I know there's lots of american soldiers here at CA, well I got a question for you:

    is it possible for a foreign (in this case italian) student to apply for the AOC school in Pensacola?

    I was considering the idea of enlisting to become a pilot for U.S. Navy, since I heard that Annapolis' Naval Academy has foreign students, but I don't really know that much about the AOC school and the path to apply for it. Furthermore, what's the maximum allowed age for AOC school (I'm currently 22, 23 next May)?

    I know these may just be stupid questions, but I thank you all in advance for your patience!

    Cheers!

    Welcome back and thank you for your service, sir!

    Glad to hear you're safe and sound, we'll never thank you and your comrades enough!

    See you soon at VNAO by VF-14's "Camelot-4" Arkady!

    Hi everybody, do any of you know if I can export my FSX registry and installation data from my current OS (Vista 32) to another partition's registry (namely XP or 7 beta), in order to run the sim in both OS's?

    I'd like to see if XP or 7beta, with their lower resource consumption, would allow me to gain some FPS, but without reinstalling the whole thing on the new partition.

    Thanks in advance!

    kct, NO PROBLEM, you're not offending anybody (yes, I'm also a member of VNAO XD).

    Yeah, I guess TW series has got so far and reached such heights, considering how it originally started, that many people looking at the "new" WOE or WOI wouldn't really believe it's the same old franchise....

    And I have tosay I'm extremely proud of being part of this community, thank you all guys for the loads of hours your fine mods have took from my everyday's life! XD

    Hooah for CA and its people, Hooah for TK, let's keep rockin' on!

    Cheers!

    Hi guys, I was playing around with the awesome A-6A FOTI edition, and this silly question came up my mind:

    is there any way to model or at least create a pseudo-working DIANE weapon control computer?

    The Intruder somehow feels a little empty without it.....

    I know that this may seem an unnecessary or stupid question, but it came in my silly brain and I just wanted to ask...

    Cheers and thank you for your time!

    Well, i patched the install and found out that my weps folder was still there, almost intact.

    I copied back a copy of the latest wepdata and open/saved it with the editor, but nothing, it doesn't even show the wepdata.cat....

    What the heck's missing now???? I mean, I don't even see any new weapon, like AIM-54s or something.... didn't recheck the avionics but I assume the problem's still there.......
