Thanks again MigBuster, I take it that the campaign files are located in the "CAMPAIGNS" folder? I got this example from the Rolling Thunder config file... [uSNUnit002] UnitName=VF-24 Checkertails ForceID=1 UnitID=64 StartDate=1965 DescFile=wovRTStart.txt StartText=wovRTStart3.txt StartScreen=CampaignCarrier.bmp CampaignBaseScreen=CampaignCarrier.bmp AircraftType=F-8E <<<<<------------ I just change the a/c name to match the I'm substituting? HR

Hello, Is it possible to replace stock flyable a/c files with TMF a/c files (or any add-on a/c from C5 or 3rd party) to fly in both campaign and single mission? I know about "adding a/c's to a campaign sticky (thanks, MigBuster). I'm talking about just deleting the a/c file (say stock F-105D) and replace the whole file with the F-105D-25 or -31 file. I tried to install a couple of skins for the stock F-105D (Cherry girl by Armourdave & F-105D 49TFW by a guest) once installed I choose the skins at loadout and both a/c's were white, as in blank. This happened before and I was told it's because the skins were for a specific model i.e. the -31 or TMF version. There seems to be more skins for TMF a/c than stock skins for WoV, especially for the F-105, F-8 & A-6. Currently flying F-8, VF-24, Rolling Thunder. And I know about Wrench's sticky about "adding 3rd party a/c's" in the SFP1 KB. Thanks HR

Wrench & Jaman, Thanks, what a handy tool to have!

Ok, I think I have that cat extractor, I think it's called SFP1E_10, but I have not installed it yet.

Hey all, I noticed that not all a/c's have data.ini files. Example...I want to use the camouflage pilot helmet by Wrench on the F-4, the -D model has a data.ini file, while the -C & -E models do not. Can I just copy the F-4D Data.ini file to the -C & -E models to get the data.ini files?, or will that just give them the D's flight characteristics. HR

Ok, thanks for the input, looks like I'll be flying SF2 series soon enough. HR

Hey everyone, Just want opinions/feedback from the community, been having a ball flying SF1 series and all its add-ons, I want to know should I get SF2 series? The only thing I know about the second series is the graphics are better and you can play on Vista or Win 7. I looked over the TW website and noticed that SF2 can also be played on XP (which is what I have) and there seem to be a lot more skins, add-on, campaigns and the like. HR

Yeah FC I know it would be arcadish, but it's very frustrating when ALL of you missiles go "stupid" and you have to shoot down enemy bombers with your gun while being chased by their escorts...oh wait, that's what TOP GUN & AGRESSOR SQD was for...nevermind.

Just flew a mission in WOE_NF4, launched all missiles at 1 enemy a/c I locked up and ALL 8 missiles failed to track. Question is; Will changing the values (Accuracy, Lock-on Chance, Noise Rejection, CM Rejection & Target Aspect..to name a few) for the early AIM-9s & AIM-7s to higher values make them perform like later versions? i.e. AIM-9L -P & AIM-7F -M.

To FastCargo & Wrench, Thanks for the advice, that did the trick.

OK, got it. Thanks

If I do that, will the game still work??

Thanks FC, I'll give it a try.

I recently installed Vietnam 1984 add-on campaign to a Oct2008 patched version of WoV. 1. WoV (clean) 2. Oct2008 patch 3. Weapons Pack 1/25/09 4. Weapon Editor 2/2008 5. Vietnam 1984 Everything was installed in the above order, I double and triple read the readme file, all folders were in their correct locations. I started the game and this is when the keystrokes started acting funky...for example the A key (autopilot) cycled through the nav lights, the Z key (ECM on/off) jettisoned the external tanks and the B key (brakes) set the bomb release intermitten times. Now before anyone says go to the 'Options' screen, I did that and rechecked for the corrosponding keys to the functions I wanted and the same thing occured. I've install/uninstalled/reinstalled everything twice and can't get keys to work right. Anyone else have this happen? How did you fix it? Samething happened with the F/A-18E add-on 2 weeks ago, I just reinstalled the a/c and the keys work fine. Can't explain that one. Any advice on this???

Panama Red--thanks but I'm playing series 1, keep fogetting to mention that. Say What?!--thanks for the info, I'll give it a try.

Will Burning Sands 1983 & Vietnam 1984 campaigns work in SFP1 & WoV with the OCT 2008 patch? Thanks

Quick question about this a/c.... Want to install in WoE w/08 patch and looking over the folders I know where everything goes except for the folders named "agrusn1" and "seat_SJU-17". Do these folders go into the OBJECTS folder or somewhere else? Do I open each folder and put the individual files in or the whole folders? Thanks

Just installed clean versions of WoE & SFP1 series 1, flipped through the download section under "patches" and found Sep2008 update. Can I install the Sep2008 update AND then install Oct2008b update over that OR just install the Oct2008b update. Also, what's the latest weapons pack to use? I checked the weapons pack download section and found 2 by MF one dated January 2008 and a second dated January 25, 2009 (or do these only work with MF a/c?) The last one I found was Weapons Pack 2.25 by the Wo*/SFP1 community. I have a couple of the Weapon Editors one dated 02/20/08 & the second dated 04/24/06. (Which one works with which update?) I have the old Weapons Pack 3Jul2006 by Bunyap. (Will this work with WoE or SFP1 patched to Oct2008b?) Thanks

Hello all, I would like to know how to get EAW on my computer. The computer is an HP Pavilion with XP operating system, ver. 2002, service pack 3. Hardware includes--Intel Viiv 930 Pentium D processor w/ 2 processing cores, 2 gigs memory, & NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE graphics card. It's about 3yrs old. I use a Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar w/ Thrustmaster Elite Rudder Pedals. I have the original EAW CD, last played on a Pentium II Gateway w/ Win 98. I've noticed the resurgence of intrest & updates for EAW and would like fly my second favorite combat sim. ( first is Stirke Eagle III) Thanks in advance for any & all help/inputs/suggestions Shawn

Thanks Jedi Master, I'll look into getting IL2 1946

Hey everyone, I just found out that IL2 is now patchable to 4.09. I just started playing again and would like to patch to latest version, can't seem to it find here at CA. My current version is 4.04m, I have it mergered to PF+FB+AEP with the add-ons of Wings over Jungles, Wings over Waves, Battle over Europe & Combat over Europe. Would appriceated if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks

I found the file 'Korean Air War Mod' submitted by Edward on 15 Oct 2006, is this the mod you are referring to?

Finally started flying the KAW campaign...problem is when I choose to fly the F4U Corsair for the Marines in the campaign mode, the game crashes and I'm kicked backed to Windows. What can be done to fix this? (if any)

Very nice...cool.
