I've been gone for 3 1/2 Days and it appears I,ve missed another episode of "As the Boil Festers". Bort's Main Page is up, his Machines can be DL'd. The Blog option is gone. Have a Nice Day People

It's in the 3rdWire Downloads section, main page, scroll down to bottom of page and you will find it there. Thanks for the mission.

Great models and skins, many Thanks to all involved. Won't get a chance to fly them 'till the weekend, should be a real "FurBall", looking forward to it. Thanks Again

The C6 MegaPak for SFP1, what is it, a mod pak? Since I don't " habla French" was wondering if anyone here could give me some info about it. I haven't Dl'd it because the MegaPak is over 300megs in size and DL times from Check6 are always very slow for me,not sure why. Thanks, Bwf.

Thanks for the quick response Guys, appreciate it. Will DL the MegaPak tonight after work. Thanks Again, Bwf.

Bort's machines are my favorites, the early stuff is more of a challenge and fun to fly. Once you "learn the machine" going up against Nieuports in a FokkerD or Halberstadt is great fun. The DH2 and Nieuport11 as well, more early one's that I like very much.

The problems with the AI's is well taken, shortly after takeoff the 3 idiots in my flight wandered off as a group some where towards Ypres and eventualy returned to base, bombs still in their "racks". Repeated rejoin commands didn't have any effect on them, don't think they even crossed the Front, just wandered around for a bit and then went home. Of course they were arrested, charged, convicted and shot "For having shown Bad Form during time of War"(LOL). 'B' flight did make it to the target area but I don't know where they dropped their bombs, probably in some damn'd beet field, the De-brief claimed only two Zeps destroyed. Defensive machine gun fire was severe, I went into the target area low(200ft) and fast, pitched the "Coopers" into the mooring area and then dove for the deck jinking all the way as I departed the target area to the north, my machine constantly being hit untill I was out of range. Turned towards the sea about two miles north of the Zep base and had the satisfaction of seeing the moored Zeps in flames. I then took stock of my situation, engine trailing smoke, lower Port and upper starboard wingtips and both starboard ailerons shot away. Wiggled the stick around a bit and found I still had fair control(FM on hard). I elected to fly the "searoute" home fully expecting my engine to either burst into flames or explode. Neither happened(very surprised by that) and I landed safely back to base. Even with the AI being near useless, this Zep mission is a great deal of fun to fly.

Got'em Trailing smoke, missing a few parts Made it Home! Fun mission to fly, Thanks. I think I'll try this with Bort's Avro 504's next, that should be interesting.

I think the cloud effects might be Polak's SKYModv1, certainly looks like it. It's available in the DL section, 3rd wire series, Maps/Terrain Mods.

Another great terrain Edward, Thanks Very Much.

Your not the only one. Same thing has been going on with my game(FEpatch2) and it isn't just the Fokkers, it's been happening with the "stockers" as well as 3rd party aircraft. Don't know what the deal is with this, have written it off as more AI idiocy for now.

I have some Data Base files to donate. To whom,where and how? Or should I just attach them to a post here?

Thank you for updating this Mod, one of my favorites!

Deuce's Enhanced WOV terrain is only for the stock WOV terrain, so far as I know. The DRV terrain is a separate terrain add-on for SFP-1 and SFP Gold.

For the runway mod go to CA's DL section, 3rdWire Series>Maps/Terrain Mods>page 2, the one you want is ' SF/WoV Runway Upgrade' by Polak. The DRV Terrain(Vietnam) was made by Gepard for 'Nam campaigns and missions in Strike Fighters Project 1. The current version is DRVv1.51, it can be found in the Terrains section last page. It's very good and could be added to a WoV install as an alternate 'Nam terrain. As for Yankee Air Pirates, just get it, you will be getting far more than your paying for.

There is a pulse jet sound wav. available in CA's DL section. Go to the 3rd Wire Series DL section>Sound Mods> page 5, and DL [WW2 Sound Pak] by 'howling1', it has a pulse jet sound wav. in it.

My condolences to you and your family for your loss.

Plan'A' Decided to update drivers for my vid card(9800Pro 256meg) from 6.12 to latest update(7.2 Cat. Suite). Nothing but problems, wasn't getting complete install, no shortcut for CCC, so no access at all for control panel plus getting error messages after install of upgrade. Did an un-install/re-install of ATI 7.2 software package twice with same negative results. Suspected possible "corrupted DL", so I DL'd another copy of the 7.2 package from ATI, went thru' entire procedure again, results were same as stated above. Plan'B' Un-installed 7.2 and installed the 7.1 package. Every thing went fine untill I opened the control panel. Kept getting the following error message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- an unhandled exception has occured in your application...... Font 'Arial' doesn't support style 'Regular' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Went thru' the entire un-install/ re-install deal with the same results. Plan'C' Said the hell with it and decided to go back to the 6.12 package which I hadn't had any problems with. I am now getting the same error message when I'm in the CCC as I did with the 7.1 package. Question: I have always upgraded with the full Catalyst Software Suite in the past and this is the first time that I have run into problems.I have no idea what that error message means and why I'm now having "issues" with the older driver suite(6.12) that I didn't have before. I haven't done any hardware upgrades in the past year('cause I haven't needed to) and am currant as far as OS,DX9,etc. Any one have any ideas on this??

Hi Guys... this has to be a quick one, I have Net2.0+2.0 SP1, my 9800Pro isn't the AIW version. As per ATI instructions, I un-install all ATI software prior to installing new. One note on un-installing the old ATI stuff, didn't see the DAO program in the ADD/Remove list, this is supposed to be deleted along with all the old ATI software before installing new. Also, I go into the control panel and also check my C(Main) drive to make sure the old ATI stuff is gone,then install the new software. Before I shut down last night I cleaned everything out again and installed just the new drivers. Thats where I'm at for now with this.

" Real Airplanes and Pilots use Tailhooks " ROG' THAT BUDDY!

Ewards Taiwan Straights '58 campaign requires the Taiwan terrain(originaly done by USAFMTL). You can find it at AVSIM, but you will have to register to get downloads. No big deal, just"name rank and number". Make sure that you DL the Taiwan terrain file modded by Edward for his campaign.
