With 260 birds in my WOE installation, it's tough to pick, just one aircraft. I'd have to say, my favourite all around American "do-it-all, everything" jet would have to be Dels' F-23A Black Widow II. That bird should have been elected winner of the ATF competition on, just on looks, alone. But, hey, what do I know. I have been in love with the Tornado, for as long as it has been in service, in Euro forces. Amokfloo's IDS model, is a great bird for the ground pounder missions, as is Dave's F-15E/I/K series. But... as I say there are nearly a couple dozen others, I like to play with.

I actually sorted it out. It seems Bunyap's pack has set AIM-9S-X for USAF use only, so, I set the F/A-18F datafile to read the aircraft as USAF, instead of USN.

Wow!!! Amazing aircraft. Nicely done, thank you. One question, though. I've noted in this plane and a couple other recent aircraft, after year 2000, the only AIM-9 model is the AIM-9P. Looking at the loadout file, the plane is supposedly able to carry AIM-9X. Are you using a more recent version of weapons pack than "Weapons Pack: 03 July 2006"? If so, which one? Please help... and thanks again. I tried adding one of the more recent Mirage Factory Weapons packs, and it caused a number of problems, like weapons loadouts not appearing on the plane, and inventory getting jumbled. I ended up re-installing WOE and just using the older Weapons Pack: 03 July 2006, and left it alone.

Gyawd... now mind you, I'm only going on four hours sleep, I'm looking at the text, but it's just not registering. sorry for two posts in a row, with the same brain-damaged complaints.

I might have missed something, but the LOD files are not included in the package. But, in the end I look forward to playing with this bird, in WOE.

Yeah, I get a CTD, too... mind you I'm using Wings Over Europe. Is there something in the avionics, I should be aware of, that is WOI exclusive that I need to remove from an ini file??? Pretty bird, though. Can't wait to fly her.

"May the Wings of Liberty, never lose a Feather"!

Oh, wow!!!!!!! It's exquisite.

AMD Dual Core Thing is blisteringly fast. I researched and hand picked the components, myself. I made a damned good choice on the motherboard. She has a dual core in her, now. She's capable of taking a quad core, if I chose. complete specs are below.

I tried to download this file, and I got the following error message. ------------------ We're sorry, but your last request produced the following error: ERROR:(DOWNLOAD-PERMCA01A) REASON CODE: User type is not permitted to download files.

Oh man, I played the snot out of Jane's ATF, when it first came out. It was such a well rounded 'bang for your buck', game. A good thing, too... I paid a lot of bucks for it... nearly $80.00CAD.

I knew it!! Useless crap. I tried launching my shiny new Maverick with my laptop, and I got a blue screen of death!! Figures there'd be a compatibility problem with friggin' Windows.

You know... come to think of it... Just mulling through the sounds directory I've found sounds that I never actually hear in the game. For example there are RWR sounds specific to either MiGs or SAMs. example.. (MiGTrack.wav) (MiGLock.wav) / (SAMTrack.wav) (SAMLock.WAV) Does anyone have any suggestions what the correct entries would be, into which ini files to get these sounds working? Thanks

...Oh, these are just cool. The windloop should really help. gonna check it out, now. thanks

Good ole Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, F-29 Retaliator and TORNADO: OPERATION DESERT STORM from Digital Integration/Trimark.

I seem to recall reading somewhere there is a working title in progress, with cartoonish aircraft and terrain. Wings Over Durka-DurkaStan.

Some other fond memories of Bloom County. ...I miss Bill http://mighound69214.multiply.com/video/it...nd_The_Boingers http://mighound69214.multiply.com/video/it...nd_The_Boingers

Oh!! I know, I know!!! You should do a paint scheme for the "Dirty Pair". Just one glimpse, on both sides, of that should guarantee an evac of the whole combat zone. You could even do it, so you have Yuri on one skin and Kei on another skin, so lead and wingman have their own unique paint jobs.

I absolutely love this Idol Master series that you've been posting. Beautiful work. Subarashi, yo... Anything in mind for the F-23 Black Widow II?? hehehe...

Is there no weapndata.ini for the Meteor missile to be imported to the primary weapondata.ini file? It'd make the process a lot simpler. I'm also finding it difficult to figure out how to make this work. Then again, I haven't had my coffee, yet.

Someone aughta be sending you cheques. This work is so intricate. Takes real passion to attain this level of detail.

OMG, this bird is a genuine work of Art.. No wait.. this bird is a genuine work of Craig!! ...and numerous other folks, for that matter. Beautiful work... absolutely beautiful. The readme was useful, too... as I am installing the plane for WOE. Thank you.

It uploaded, but only 33kb of the file is present.

It's most likely, the majority of you folks realize this, but, I feel the need to point out. The components within the game engine are very date and era specific, and also aircraft model specific. For example, the RS-2U Alkali-A was procured in the '50s, whereas the R-73M1 Archer is a relatively new missile type. (early generation MiG-21s will not carry R-73s) When I first started to mod Wings Over Europe, I noted, most specifically, the first release of the MiG-25P, the aircraft was always flying empty when I encountered them in the air, thus making it nothing more than a turkey shoot. Not very challenging, right? I began to compare it's loadout.ini file vs those of the stock aircraft and noted one distinct difference. All stock soviet aircraft had loadouts with missiles under the "R" designation. (eg. R-3R Atoll) Many modders aircraft submissions had their loadouts with the "AA" designation. (eg. AA-2 Atoll) I don't think the game knows to look for this designation. Any aircraft with this "AA" designation in the loadout.ini will appear empty, when under AI control. I had to go in and change the loadouts for some 12 aircraft, so that they would have "something" to fire at me. As I researched the material on soviet aircraft and their loadouts throughout the cold war, I began to compile a small list of missiles, their type, (IRM / SAHM / AHM) their service records, specifically, when they were in use, and what aircraft on which they were deployed. Here is a list of what I have put together, so far. It's not perfect, but it's a start. Feel free to point out mistakes and update accordingly on this thread. This will allow those of you with this problem to change the loadouts to the proper "R" designations. RS-2U = AA-1A Alkali IRM (MiG-17/19) small RS-2US = AA-1B Alkali IRM (MiG-17/19) small R-3R = AA-2 Atoll SAHM (MiG-21) Large R-3S = AA-2 Atoll IRM (MiG-21) R-4M = AA-5 Ash (SU-11/15, Yak-28) R-8MR = AA-3C Anab (SU-11/15, Yak-28) R-8MT = AA-3D Anab (SU-11/15, Yak-28) R-13M = AA-2 Atoll IRM (MiG-21) small R-23R = AA-7A Apex SAHM (MiG-23) Large R-23T = AA-7B Apex IRM (MiG-23) Large R-27ER = AA-10 Alamo SAHM (MiG-29) R-27R = AA-10 Alamo SAHM (MiG-29) R-40T = AA-6 Acrid (MiG-25) R-60T = AA-8 Aphid IRM (MiG-21/23/25/27, SU-15/17) R-73M = AA-11 Archer IRM (MiG-29) small R-77 = AA-12 Adder AHM (MiG-29) Large R-98 = AA-3 Anab (Su-15) Large I hope this is helpful. Again, please feel free to chastise, ridicule and shun me for any mistakes and post the corrections on this thread.

Just for sheer hilarity... I am curious if someone in the Skinners dept would like to create a lo-vis RCAF skin for the F-23A Black Widow II. for specifics, make it indigenous to the 410th TFS out a Cold Lake Alberta. Thanks
