Thanks for the wallpaper. I've missed these on my desktop.

my issue is that search and air combat would not actually lock onto a target more than .5 a second then lose lock. Aircombat would just shoot back and forth between lock and "no joy". All the radar mode would operate and show bandits, or anyhting else but I just couldn't lock to fire an AMRAAM or Sparrow

I took the avionics file from the MSIP F-15 C and transfered it to the F-15, everything is good now, excellent aircraft.

Hey everybody,

I've installed the new F-15E Version 1.3 from the website and the radar lock will not actually lock. I can highlight a target but it will not engage an actual radar lock.

The F-15C and D MSIP versions work just fine but this is the only aircraft I'm having issues with.

Thanks for the help

I've tried the fix a couple of different times and variations and still come up with the same issue. My frame rates are good now with the modified file but I still have the white square

Awesome, I'll give it a shot,

I really appreciate the help, Thanks

I havn't flown the Fa-18 by Mirage Factory in about a month. I loaded the plane on a strike mission and every time I try to fly I have a giant white box in the middle of the hud and my FPS dropped to almost nothing. Its the stock Fa-18 from the download section and I've had in installled for months now without any problems. Wondering if anyone had any advice.

Running WOE

I did delete and reinstall the FA-18 and it didn't fix the problem.

I started one a few years ago, but it was absolute crap. Dream Max also started one, and it's in my custody. I don't even want to touch it because I lack the skills to finish it. I'll try to post a screen shot when I can.

That would be great thanks

Yeah that model looks about right. I wish i knew how to mod or skin and actually create aircraft and items for SFP1 or WOE but i'll leave it to the professionals.

Good find.

First 3 seasons. Hopefully the 4th WOn't hit the store since it sucked

I see an AH-64 is getting worked on.... I can fly that until Airwolf comes around :-)

Hey Blue Thunder would work too and maybe Redwolf that would be a simple skin switch

Which one would that be? the Zeewolf?

My favorite helicopter has always been the Bell 222 or 430 which Airwolf was based off of.

I'm sure someone has a like or love for Airwolf. The acting was bad, bad story lines but man that sure was a cool helicopter. Too bad it crashed in Germany.

Hey everybody,

I have a strange request, I've always been a fan of Airwolf and the 80s TV show. The Bell 222 helicopter has always been my favorite and I was wondering if anybody has or couple create a Airwolf variation for SFP1, WOV or WOE. I though it would be cool to play in VTOL and Mach 2.5 if possible and retracting gun and missile pods.

I would love to shoot down some MIGs with a supersonic Bell 222.

Thanks,

I have found that sometimes when i download a file for an addon aircraft, the type of zipfile can affect whether or not it will work ok, this is just my experiance!

That's what i've noticed that win zip files don't have a problem but if its a winrar file the chances that it will work isn't as likely. I found that the P-40 I downloaded in the WW2 section won't load. I'm gonna see if I need a new version of winrar or something.

Thanks again

The files from modder's/mod team sites that can be found here are identical to the ones found on their respective pages. I had the same problem with a certain Soviet Mi-24 too. I'd run the game, load out my Hind and start but in my case it would crash to desktop. I'm pretty sure that that particular model was faulty, and I'm assuming it's been removed because I can't seem to find it here anymore (I can't remember whose model it was). I've been using Capun's nice East German Hind and haven't been having any problems at all. It could be something as simple as a bad download. Are you doing anything to it (ie adding skins etc) to the model you're using or are you trying to use it straight from download?

Nope just trying them straight from download and then if they work i'll add skins or addons to the airframe. What i've been doing now is just adding the new planes or addons to the game and immediatly test them to see if they work. About 90% of them work except the mi-24, e2c, a-1helos, and other assorted ones. I've downloaded some ww2 planes and some other helo downloads to see if they will work but i've been away from the computer for a day and haven't had a chance to test them..

Yeah, Redddevil's right. Basically, when you unzip a new aircraft for any of he SFP sims, just double check that the folder layout doesn't resemble something like this:

 

WingsOverEurope\Objects\Aircraft\S-3Viking\S-3Viking

 

This won't work and in game you won't see the model. Normally when someone uploads a model here they'll usually place everything in a zip folder with the same name of the aircraft. Just make sure when you cut and paste the model that it's the main model folder not \S-3Viking\S-3Viking.

As for the helicopters, there's a thrust vectoring control in the controls menu. You'll need to be able to use thrust vectoring to be able to control choppers in this sim, same with the Harriers. It can be a little tricky at first, but once you get a feel for it, it'll be gold.

Well i figured something out. My problem with the S-3b took an interesting turn because after i couldn't get the combatace S-3b file to work. I downloaded the same model from a different site, the fist of the fleet website with mostly navy and marine corp planes. This was exact same model by the same people, I extracted the files the same and everything but the fist of the fleet viking works perfect. I'm wondering what is different between the combatace files and the fist of the fleet files because when i check the folder size they were both the same.

I wonder if this would work with my other planes and helos that won't show up too..??

Any advice?

Thanks again for the help.

Hey everybody,

I'm somewhat new to Wings over Vietnam and Wings over Europe. I've got both games running together. I've patched the game with the newest patch on thirdwire. I've installed the weapons pack and placed a lot of different aircraft in the game and most work fine like the F-15C,D,E and F-16 block 10 - 52. My F-14A and F/A - 18A works fine too.

The problem I have is that my S-3 Viking, Mi-24 Hind, E-2C Hawkeye , AH-1 G&W and other various aircraft are in the directory correctly (or so I think). I'm wondering if for some reason the patch isn't letting the aircraft work or what is going on or if anyone could give me some advice because i'm new to troubleshooting this game.

My friend who also has the game with but without the patch, the same planes work on his computer, he also has WOV and WOE together but those addons work.

My final problem is that the helicopter on my game are pitching up and down uncontrollably. My friend has these helos and they fly fine. My pc with the patch won't fly them.

PLEASE HELP!!
