Brainless

Now that's what I call a real 'paint job'

Well that is just remarkable. I'm no modder but it seems like it could save you guys a lot of time and trouble.

Well I guess it's power to the people. Sorry for the pun!

I don't know the answer to this one. I'd better leave it to someone more competent to reply but NO-ONE should 'bite your head off' for asking a question and if they do they should be ashamed of themselves!

When you have the aircraft icon on the map try CTLR + right click to set waypoints. You may have to do it more than once for it to work!

I really can't understand this at all. You seem to have no trouble. I have tested some more flights in both the single missions I set up and the edited campaign I spoke about here. If I use the take off sequence described here and let the wingman take off first, which I guess is the right way to do it anyway, I have no problem but if I try to go first or set the throttle up before launch the problems start. What take off sequence are you using? It'll be interesting to see the results of Caesar's re-install to see if that cures it. If so I guess I'll have to do the same. Golly I hope not, I just put all the Wrench updates etc. on. I'll have to do it all again!

You really need to download the KMD tutorial available here if you haven't already done so. Read that and most things will be explained. You need to set the waypoint co-ordinates for each individual aircraft and/or ground object in the waypoint box. Any co-ordinate will do, you can move this to where you want it later. Once the co-ordinates have been set just check the object box and your object will appear on the map. Here's a link to the downloads page for this :- http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...um=10&st=30 and here's a link to the tutorial itself:-http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=2679

Well let me know if that works/makes any difference.

Thanks for your input. I'll have to wait for the other ones to be filled in to make the list complete.

Well one thing's for sure the lawyers are going to have a field day with this one. They just love this kind of stuff. Keeps 'em in pencils and large cars etc. Thankfully the pilot survived and no doubt he deserves compensation from someone.

I've been studying the new icon list (yes I know it's sad isn't it) but I'm damned if I know what half of the icons mean or are supposed to represent - no I'm serious guys. So I've made a list of the current ones and filled in the parts I understand or think I understand. Can someone please fill in the blanks and correct any I've misinterpreted. I'm thinking of adding these to my guide or perhaps they can go in the KB for other clueless people like me.

Seems like a good idea but I don't know who would do this.

Hmm.. I downloaded my WOI from the 3W site. Did you get yours from there or did you buy a disc. I know sometimes the two are not the same in some types of sim? Seems like your version is different in some way to the ones Caesar and I are using. Just a thought. P.S Any news of the progress on the checking of my Guide so we can get this up and running. I just need someone to look over my draft. I didn't want to send it out until someone agreed to take a look at it. Do you have time now? Any news at all on this. If everyone is busy that's O.K. but I'd just like to know what's going on please.

Hmm.. yes I still have the odd glitch. I'm using just one carrier in my test campaign. The problem with 'disappearing' (I go backwards with the cockpit artwork off by itself ) seems to be related to the type of carrier being used but I'm not certain of that, the CVN75 works O.K though, some other ones don't. The test campaign I'm using only puts two aircraft on the CATS. This is working O.K. except that occasionally the wingman does the 90 degree jig. It is certainly not working the same as say in WOV but I haven't got an answer to it all yet. Are you using a Force Feedback stick only I wondered if this had anything to do with the launch? I had mine turned off yesterday and it seemed to make a difference.

That was real lucky. Life and death stuff...phew( phew icon should go here but I can't seem to find one)

Well that's a real good answer Kevin

No I haven't but I will do. Thanks. I just looked. Yes very good. I've just added the question and your link to my guide. Excellent

Mars needs help. I sent them your details. Martian leader says he can't wait to hear from you but I told him not to hold his breath as it would take you a long long time to reply to PMs. No worries there he said we don't breathe air here. You have got a pressure suit haven't you?

Ah..well this rules me out then.

WoW ..well this beats my lucky story no question. It seems most people are honest it's just the odd one or two that are opportunists or maybe they are just godfearing, decent people alround in NJ Newark. I'll have to remember that's the place to go for my next vacation.

Nicely explained

O.K I bow to your superior knowledge. I guess I'll have to wait to see how this would work here if it's done.

Ah.. thanks dave but I tried adding this with the 'ingredients ' you suggested here but I kept getting CTD or rather the MS error message. I probably 'did a Brainless' but tried several times without success. Can you give complete and full instructions..it's Brainless you're dealing with here. P.S Any news of the progress on the checking of my Guide so we can get this up and running. I just need someone to look over my draft. I didn't want to send it out until someone agreed to take a look at it. Do you have time now? UPDATE O.K. I've done an edit of 'Attrition War' By R. Lee "Banger" SullivanVersion 1.110 March 2008 using instructions from Gocad's readup in the KNOWLEDGE BASE (this is what you other clueless ones should be doing) on how to add carriers in a campaign. I applied this information together with the information you kindly supplied and lo and behold, hey presto I'm on the deck of CVN75 plus I don't blow up or crash on the deck. Using the method I described for take off I had no problem catapulting off and wingman went off in the right direction. Of course this was a first try and the 'intermittent' fault may yet raise its ugly head but at the moment it works.

This definitely needs to go in the KB a.s.a.p. as it's a continual re-occurring topic. I was going to add it to my guide but I think the KB is the right place for it

I thought it was all a bit invloved when I looked at it last with lots of pages to mill through to find what you're looking for but this is only my opinion.
