Yes, for campaigns. Would be really something to see about 100 missions North in a photo bird.

Hey all, As it turns out it was just an improper install. Scrapped it, went slowly and by the numbers and got it right. All's well and fine. About the only thing i'm messing about now is trying to remember how to get an AI squadrons flyable as i really like flying recce birds and WOV Gold is a massive challenge in that job.

Went through everything and still no joy. AI aircraft are going over airfields and not drawing any fire at all. Also found other things such as missing target areas and no docks at Vihn etc, etc. I'm going to reinstall everything as carefully as i can and see if i missed a step or two.

Thanks for the info. I was suspecting something about the DX9. Thankfully i have it in my my WO setup file and shall have a go. As for everything else, i've always run every campaign and single flight for the most difficult situations and sure enough it was way too easy up North. As an experiment i flew a single mission RF-101 to Kep to check for flack and SAM and didn't see the usual amount of flak and zero SAMs despite flying straight and level at 5,000 feet. Now that i think about it, despite having 9 radars tracking not a single lock or SAM launch and i had no ECM. Date was January 1966. I'll go through the file paths and see what i find. Oh yes, the first thing i found out in research was to go to C/. Makes things a lot handier.

Just something a bit curious... My longtime XP using Dell laptop went kaput so after some research i loaded WOE/ODS/and WOV into one of my Windows 7 backup towers and sure enough they all got going. The one thing that is bugging me is that the WOV Gold anti air defenses seems to be quite subdued. I started a campaign and after a few missions i noticed i don't see any of the colored balls of flak nor the groundfire intensity that should occur in the Hanoi area for example . As a matter of fact i flew about five missions over the north and didn't see or hear a single SAM launch anywhere. Anyone know of something i might have done wrong? Or is that what happens on WOV Gold outside of XP
