Quick questions, did any of you guys ever have the problem with your Hawk batteries exploding on the ground when attempting to launch. I do.

Yup, Im guesing thats my problem too. :yes:

I reintstalled WOE by itself from WOV and the problem still exist. I have checked and rechecked all the possible things that have to be in order the the service years. I have read and followed all the directions and walkthroughs on this issue and it still does not work. I gave up on it a while ago I just was passing through and so this post so I though I would respond.

I think your thinking in going in the same direction as mine raiden. If I change in variable in the options.ini and doesent effect anything.

I downloaded your options.ini and replaced it with the one in my mian WOE directory. Still no change though.

ex. F-23 service start and end period is set 1990 to 2040 and still is only availbable 90-95.

Done all of all that already and have checked and rechecked to make sure.(look at the above post) Still doesn't work. So I just gave up. Oh well, in month Armed Assualt will be release in U.S. and I'll be good then.

I guess Ill just have to use WOV by itself.

Will all the add ons work as well WOV as WOE?

Will any effects be missing in WOV?

I reinstalled WOE and without any good luck the problem still persist so I gues I will have to just use WOV. Probably Vista screwing this up some how.

Im not sure whether or not My WOE program is using the options.ini because if I remove and then start the game everything seems to work fine and the same service year condtions still exist. I was wondering it could be dealing with the startup.ini. Maybe its not loading the correct ini at startup.

I checked the Aircrat Data.ini to see that was the problem but it doesent seem to be there either.

for example

[MissionData]

NationName=USN

ServiceStartYear=1983

ServiceEndYear=2010

AircraftRole=FIGHTER

AircraftCapability=DAY_AND_NIGHT

Availability=VERY_COMMON

Exported=TRUE

ExportStartYear=1983

ExportAvailability=RARE

PrimaryRoles=SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,STRIKE,CAS,SEAD,ARMED_RECON

SecondaryRoles=ANTI_SHIP,FAC,RECON,INTERCEPT

NormalMissionRadius=740

MaxMissionRadius=833

Ceiling=15240

MinBaseSize=MEDIUM

CarrierBased=TRUE

The F/A-18 is still only avialble the years 83-88 for me.

Yeah but its not working though. I guess I'll just reinstall then change it before I start any thing substantial that could somehow effect this.

Thanks for the Help USAFTML

The file I manipulated is in the main WOE directory is called Options,

This is what its saying right now.

[singleMission]

AircraftType=F-15A

MissionMap=GERMANYCE

MissionType=SWEEP

MissionTime=RANDOM

MissionWeather=RANDOM

AirActivity=RANDOM

AirDefenseActivity=RANDOM

LoadMission=FALSE

LoadMissionFilename=

MissionYear=1978

StartYear=1950

EndYear=2010

Thank you for your time USAFTML. Ive already tried your suggested advice and it worked in WOV but not WOE and I use WOE/Wov version.

Yeah thats the problem.

When I enter the single mission planning area aircraft like F-23 for example is only available years 1990-94, even though in its data file it has a service date of 1990 to 2040. If someone can help me with this it would be great.

Thanks USAFMTL my 21s are working perfectly now.

I dont know if its a weapons problem pack problem but I cant get anything to be availble for loading for any MIG-21 besides fuel tanks and I have serveral MIG-21 versions installed. I've compared the Data.ini with others and also went to weapons pack Wiki page. I still get anthing to show up in the loadout screen.

Thanks for the answer

Is there a mod of some sort that will make helicopter add ons sf in flight more like that of helicopter than of a conventional aircraft. I saw a video of Cobra in SF on you tube and it flew like a helicopter.

Even better version than I found thank you Steak Eagle

I found it within the Falklands Mod. Thanks for the Help though.

I've look all around Combat Ace and Avsim for this file but I cant find it. Just a skin. If anyone

could help me that would be great.

Thanks, I appreciate

I've found a couple skins for the Frogfoot and was just wanting to know if anybody could help me find an actual model.

Thanks Guys. I appreciate the links.
