It is impressive that the first few shots could be taken for screenshots from FE. Once you start seeing the terrain it begins to sink in these are the real thing. Nice collection of planes.

I would think so too, but I can tell a difference between the F-15A and the Intruder for instance. The Eagle does not seem to have any "tint" to the canopy while the Intruder has a fairly significant tint. I am also referring to the view from inside the aircraft. Hitting the '.' (remove cockpit) key shows the tint's effect pretty well. I have found reference to a CanopyGlass.tga in the LOD. Mucking with that does not seem to help. I'll look for canopy.tga as well.

Wings Over Israel

......as the thread continues to degenerate...................... Actually, Wings Over India might be interesting from a historical perspective.

Wings Over Iowa

The only practical way to do this would be to have the cars be computer controlled in certain classes of airspace. Having folks flying around willy-nilly would be a disaster waiting to happen. Of course, if you get out of crowded airspace you might be able to allow folks "manual" control of the thing. We're probably at the "automobiles will never replace horses" stage of this debate. We may never see true flying cars but we may end up seeing something we can't imagine yet as a result of all the research.

Yes, I can believe that. Damn it. I manage to survive until the 21st century and I still don't have my jetpack or flying car.

The real thing or a sim thereof?

How heavy is that thing?

They are excellent helicopter sims, but I alway find myself playing something else. I am not sure I have heard of any mods. I'll have to re-install and poke around a bit to see if they lend themselves to that. They did some good stuff to overcome the problems with flying a helicopter with only a monitor as your window to the world. The "DOWN" view and auto-hover can be a real help when landing. They also put out an Apache sim that, while good in the FM dept, was kind of an arcade game in terms of weapons and missions. Again, nothing really compelling about the title to bring me back to it.

And this is how WWIII starts...........................

I disagree with it from a philosophical standpoint, but I have had 0 technical issues with the download version.

I thought one major reason was that the terrain is modified so that standard SFP1 campaigns and missions will not work.

Reminds me of the dropship from Aliens. Actually, anybody done a dropship?? "Express elevator to hell!!"

Agreed. I just installed in on my XP laptop and it worked fine. I think I did read somewhere that you should uncheck the MUSIC option when you do the install on XP.

Check the F-22 Total Air War forum over at www.simhq.com Have you tried running it in compat mode?

Sweet! Thanks.

How do you get that very useful display???? Sorry if I missed the memo.....

The other option is to simply delete this entry from the HUDATA.INI. None of the TW sims have an issue with doing this.

A couple of us have hit some minor bugs with the Korean Campaign. 1. The USS Oriskany does not appear to be included in the download but is referenced in the campaign files. Tends to make for a short flight when trying to start from the carrier 2. Error in the Korean War_DATA.ini [AIRUNIT025] AircraftType=Au-1 <------------- change this to F4U-4 to get the carrier based corsair Squadron=VF-53 StartDate=7/1/1950

Nope. It's all good at this point. Thanks.

WOE. I have all of them and this is the one I always come back to.

Jazz and Blues, mostly, but I have an eclectic taste in pop. I care less about the artist these days than whether I just like the music or not. Listen to streaming jazz and jazz mp3s most of the time I'm at work. I like Hearts of Space (google it) for its very interesting musical offerings.

Agreed. My apologies.
