Sky Captain

That is one kick-arse skin, Sidewinder. Feels more... Business-like.

Well then obviously you just suck at using missiles. J/k, but they work fine on my end. Almost too fine... It's like dogfighting MiG-17's in the F-19.

You guys have waaaay too much free time!

Spectre, I thought the Israel terrain was v1.5? Hmm, whatever. Like he said, it comes down to whatever you want. And you can find pretty much everything here (even an Avrocar), from working cockpit mods to an Avrocar (of all things )

Hmmm... Is it just me, or do you black out & red out more easily in this plane than others? I'll go into a gentle turn and the pilot will start hyperventilating. I don't want to even talk about turning with a Fulcrum...

It's at the Pacific Fighters Official Website. Go down to Missions (under Community) and scroll down 'till you find the Italian Campaign Package, and there it is.

Thanks, Agamemnon, that did it. Thanks for the help guys, one more thing to like about CombatAce.

The game crashes whenever I try to start a mission with the Foxbat selected. All other planes work (most of them are stock planes or newer addons) so I thought it might not be compatible with newer patches, or Wings Over Vietnam/Europe.

Wpssgt is/will be working on an F-35. But I wouldn't expect it to be released anytime soon; Quality addons take time to make.

I've actually been shot down by flak more times than by SAM's. Of course, I do like to fly down low to the deck (probably comes from watching Hollywood's version of flying too much ), where SAM sites can't get you for beans, whereas 300 feet and below seems to be Triple-A paradise.

I'm not currently running one, but DOSbox is what I used. It looks to be the one with the widest range of supported games. If you know of one that supports Airpower, or the old Jetfighter games, I'd be much obliged.

Anyone here heard of Airpower? It was like the predecessor to Crimson Skies, with Airship based air forces and all. Great fun to play, but sadly no DOS emulator I've found can run it, and XP can't seem to run early 1990's games for beans.

Ah, so that's why any other plane cockpits are all placed weird if I use them. Neat technique! (So no paneling or details on the 'pit until later releases, then?) By the way, some screenies from my weapons testing: My best Ben Gannon impression... (Crappy terrain graphics ftw!) Truncheon Away! Impact! By the way, I found out that if your engines overheat and set off their fireworks show, throttling back to zero will prolong your doom long enough to remember where the eject button is. Edit: Oh, and does anyone know where to find some good, modern 'Red' fighters? I'd use the MiG-29, but anymore than 2 onscreen and my PC takes craps out.

Yeah, I think the wings should be tilted down a bit, but definitely not 12 degrees down. That looks somewhat silly IMO. About the body width: Comparing between top-down views of the Talon ingame and the schematics, I think the ingame jet looks fatter because it's curvy, where as the 'real'/movie version has a more angular look. (Btw, the nose looks to come to a well-rounded point, it seems like it should be more of a rounded rectangle) Heh, this might as well be a design feedback/input thread. Edit: Oh, almost forgot. Are the panels in the Cockpit_Blank folder just there for show, or can they be used with the Talon panel?

Looking at those pictures, I think the current fueselage is a bit wide. Looks like the body should be fairly slim until you hit the canards, which should also extend to just behind the tip of the nose. But then I'm just being nitpicky again...

Yeah, I know building a plane without technical specs and very little info is hard. You did a great job, and it's still in the alpha stages! By the way, has anyone tried out the blank Talon pit? Can't wait to see the completed panel! If you say so... *hands Zurawski list of nitpicks*

This thing is the most fun thing to fly at the moment. Can't wait for the final version! [Edit: I know it's still in the alpha stages n' all, and will most likely this will all get refined, but anyways, the nose is dips a bit too much. Oh, and the canopy is a bit short & curvy.]

I sense some very good photoshopping... Oh well, looks cool either way.

Beautiful skin, Gramps! Downloading now. (Along with the Talon Alpha :P)

As far as I know, all you need to do is go into the data.ini (look for the file that has MiG19S Data.ini), and at the very top it should have 'NationName=*nation here*.' Change whichever it is to 'Hungary,' and you should be set. All you'll need is to find a Hungarian skin (which I don't think exists yet) Edit: You'll have to extract the file from Objects'cat, if you're changing the default plane. If you're editing a 3rd party aircraft, it should already be there. Just download the SFP1E utility (Downloads > Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam > SF Utilities/Editors > SFP1E File Extract Util [second Page]), install it, then open Objects.cat with it, and scroll down through the confused mess of files until you find 'MiG19S Data.ini.' That should be the file you need.

Really? I always remembered the Harrier as more of a fighter, tasked sometimes with ground pounding duties, not a ground pounder with A2A missiles. Huh.

I believe someone is (or was) working on one, forgot who, but hopefully it'll be released soon. Looks kick-@$$ too.

From what I hear it's only possible with an incredulous knowledge of the force, and the ability to use it with Yoda-like precision, coupled with an exact series of button-mashing and window-breaking-with-$150-HOTAS's, and topped off with eating cookies and drinking OJ WITHOUT! dropping a single one of the crayons stacked on your head. You also absolutely cannot so much as peek at the actress of your choosing sitting on the couch-which-appeared-out-of-nowhere. Or, you could just carefully time moving the throttle forwards and tapping the thrust control keys. Personally, I prefer the former method. Bottomline, it's really really really really really hard. (If the WoV Harrier mods are anything like Wings Over Europe's Harriers)

No. If you like though, you have the option to install WoE into Wings Over Vietnam to make a merged install. SFP1/SFG is a standalone though, you don't have to uninstall anything, nor can you add it into WoV/WoE. Most of the stuff in SFP1/SFG should work fine with Wings Over Vietnam/Europe. Hope this helps, and welcome to the community!

This isn't really a problem, per se, but I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the tension for the Saitek X52 stick. I know how to adjust the throttle, but the stick's a bit too loose for my likings (I've gotten too used to the super-tension on M$ sticks), but if there isn't a way, I can adapt. By the way, if you haven't gotten one of these things, you should think about it, if your budget allows.
