Here's the pod on an old experiment I did -- years ago Now that we have Raz's, with it's mulitplace cockpit, the AD-5W could be recreated, as it dosen't need the extra tail fins. This one was to represent the AEW-1 (or as USN AD-3W) of the FAA, using MontyCZs old A-1H. The pic is showing what other things are needed. I repainted the Scooter hump for the dorsal expansion, and the 2 thingys on the tail are for the extral fins. I'll find the bits and data stuff, and get the to you as soon as i can. It's the same 'pod' I used on the unreleased PB-1W Navy Fortress. I think I even stuck it on a TBF, but can't seem to find it.... Wrench kevin stein

No, I don't think SSP ever did an In Action, but theres loads of others: SSP: Modern Military Aircarft #5002 McDonnell F-101 Voodoo (covers all variants) Osprey Color: USAF Fighter Intereceptors - Cold War Warriors (superb Centruy series photos!!!) Detail & Scale #21: McDonnell F-101 Voodoo (great for modelers, and 3d builders!) These are just the ones I have. I'm sure there's more somewhere For the movie buffs, at the end of "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming", a pair of Voodoos overfly the sub as they're being escorted out of Glouscter (probably birds from Otis or somewhere close by) Wrench kevin stein

Well, that's what I meant. NOT the whole plane. It worked before, it should work after. At worst, just add Jug's light corrections to the original, and disregard the rest Anyone tried the pak I uploaded? Just so I know I've not totally wasted my time?? hey X-Ray, you might want to look at that Gundata entry again....the caliber is off: [GunData133] TypeName=23MM_GSH623 FullName=23mm GSh-6-23 Cannon Caliber=23.000000 <--- =23mm.

Which map, and which terrain are you pointing back to in the terrain's ini for cat file?? Wrench kevin stein

I have a belly radome for the Skyraiders...Capun made it for me many moons ago. Wrench kevin stein

Ok, here's the entire aircraft folder, with all the trimmings. Including my crappy Blue Borts (albeit not used) http://wrench1smog.com/tmp/mig31bm_complete.zip Wrench kevin stein

Why does it work absolutely perfectly for me??? What do I know that you all don't???? My brothers, I don't know what to tell you... What I"ll do, is I'll zipup my entire aircraft folder, upload to my site, and post the link. I'm at an absolute loss.... I haven't a single problem with it in SF/WoV/WoE. Back in a minute Wrench kevin stein of course, we all just just s**t-can the package...and give up

I'm guessing... ControlPanel/Install-Uninstall Programs??? unless it comes with a built-in uninstaller. Check you Programs listing. Like I said, I don't have it, so can't be of any help there. HEY, I just noticed someone put 5 stars on this thing -- it sure as hell wasn't me!!! It don't deserve no stars. It just IS, nothing more, nothing less. Wrench kevin stein

Seeing that a lot of folks are having 'issues' with their Foxhound, perhaps Veltro will finish his off. I really, really REEAALLY hope he does. To at least give an alternative model. Wrench kevin stein

Yup, the Pasko's working D-20, and there's my M-59 mod too. I think it's in the SoCal, ASW and another map mod Arty can also be 'built' out of AAA guns, if you know what you're doing Wrench kevin stein

I've edited your post, to reduce the font size. As mentioned above, that's shouting, and considered rude. As to some of the glitches... From the tone, I'm assuming you've NOT spent any time at all in the Knowledge Base, which will provide the answers you seek on WHY your add-on terrains have on 'terrain objects' - like, fer instance, runways. What's happening is the game engine is NOT seeing the approiate 'cat file', that stores the needed object. Hop on over the KB, your answer is there. Look for the post on "3rd Party Terrains" in (i think) the Intermediate Modding Section. Most, if not all, add-ons -especially terrains- should come with an odd little file called a "readme". Which is exactly what you should do with. They contain instructions for installing and using that mod. I'd suggest actually reading them. Looking at the Bronco, you're loadout is acting funny as it's trying to carry the ER-142/ALR-53 ECM suite, designed for the EF-4C Phantom, Wild Weasel 3. That's because the ER-142 is set as a gunpod. Easiest fix, is to delete the ER-142 from your WeaponsPak. The correct fix, is to change its 'type'. Using the data below, copy/paste DIRECTLY OVER THE EXISTING WEAPON'S ENTRY Do the 'adding weapons dance", full instructions on THAT are also to be found in the KB, and that'll fix that. Unfortunately, for the EF-4C, this unit never quite fit properly. But that's for another time; suffice it to say, the EF-4C has been fixed 'by other means" As to the others, do some research on basic flight; one rule is throttle up, and let the aircraft 'fly iteself' off the runway. As to the Panther, DO you have a key mapped to the tailhook?? It should automatically be "H". You might want to spend some time reading the game manual, it's a PDF in a folded called "Manual". It probably won't cover everything, but it'l get you started. BTW, Welcome to Combat Ace Wrench Kevin Stein Keeper of the Knowledge Base

It's at Capun's site. Be advised, there's some 'aim aingle' glitches, and it tends to shoot itself in the foot. I mentioned it to Capun, but neither one of us got around to fixing it. Wrench kevin stein

IF there's a problem with the missiles, and I haven't had this happen to me, try deleting the missile from the weapons data ini, and re-install it. Below is copied RIGHT from my WoE WeaponsData ini: It's exactly what's listed in the text I supplied (excpeting the end-of-service year). Do the usual 'adding weapons ini dance'. See what happens. As the to the HDR/Bloom noise, I don't have it, don't use it and don't want it. Perhaps that's the cause of the faults???. You can alway try uninstalling it. As I know nothing about it, I can't help ya there. Wrench kevin stein

Damn! Just discoverd a 'whhoooopsy' on the cockpit ini. Scroll down 'til you find the TASIndicator call out. Replace it with this: Forgot to switch that over to metric. BTW, fuel flow and fuel quantity are still in LBs -- I just couldn't get the Kg reading correct to match the internal tankage. Sorry about that! Wrench kevin stein

File Name: 13th BS, B-26B Invader, Skin and Ini Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 13 Jul 2008 File Category: A-26/B-26 B-26B "Invader" Skin and Ini mods for SF/WoV/WoE, Korean War This is a new skin for the DAT's A/B-26B "Invader" representing aircraft from the 13th BS, 3rd BG as used in Korea. Included are several tweeks to the data and loadout inis, due to some weapons swaps. The skin is, as stated for the 13th BS, but for only the Night Black versions. This is not 100% historically correct (and I know this for a fact with several of the nose arts), but is quite close to "Real World ™" usage. That is to say, several of the nose arts ARE 100% historically correct, and have their correct aircraft serial and buzz numbers; others are interperative' ... meaning I used whatever art I had in stock, that was as close as possible for those aircraft I either had no photos of or no serial/buzz numbers for. At least 6-8 of them were not used on the gun-nosed B variant, but on the glass-nosed C. I've used a litttle poetic license here, to make this skin and decal set. My aplologies to the Pilots and Crews. Serial and Buzz Numbers are 100% accurate, as they ARE from B-26B Invaders; in fact, 21 of them are/were real 13th BS aircraft. More explanations are in the 'Notes and Other BS' section below. -- Warning: 98.6% of the nose art herein depict the Nude Female Form!!! This mod is Rated "R" by the MPAA for Graphic Nudidity, and Stong Sexual Content. Patental descretion is advised -- If you find the Nude Female Form offensive, seek medical attention without delay, as there's GOT to be something VERY wrong with you!!! The inis included are the main, data and loadout inis, with some small modifications to weapons fits. I've added an "Illuminator Flare" station, as many of the Interdiction (read: Armed_Recon) missions were carried out at night. == You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 style weapons,. I've not including any of them. So, if you're using the TMF weapons pak, you'll have to import the needed items.. == = Obviously, you MUST have the DATs A-26B Invader too, otherwise you won't have anything to put this skin on, will ya??? = The aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE. It has NOT been tested in WoI, and is NOT reccomended for use in a Korean War Era install based on WoI. Due to 'oddities' in how that game handles prop flight models. READ the enclosed readme for full, rather simple install instructions. The "Notes and General BS" might also be illuminating.. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file

That was the choice I had to make; natural metal (well, some of the Cs were) a couple of OD or mostly the Black. Maybe I should have called it "85% Historically Correct"??? It has that nice, shark-like look in the Black though....expecially at night Wrench kevin stein

??? don't know what to tell ya, brother! Works fine for me in my super-modded WoE Install (ie: has EVERTHING from all 3 games in it!!) Well, let's get some more feedback from other users and see what's what. To me, it sounds like something wonky in your modded install, if it works fine in a clean one. More oddness!! Wrench kevin stein

Drugs are bad, mmmkay???? Put down that crak pipe, and back away slowly, and no one gets hurt.... Now, I WILL admit it's far advanced from their earlier releases. But it still needs a LOT of help. Uploading in a few minutes, the "Field Fixes Kit". Wrench kevin stein

What if George Washington was a zombie?? Remember: you can't chew human flesh with wooden teeth (tv comedy reference - bonus points for IDing ) Wrench kevin stein

EXCELLENT!!! Many thanks, now I can finsh it off and upload the fixes. I owe you one, brother!! Wrench kevin stein

Want to know the easiest way I've found to find something? Go the the Download section in question, in this case the "Object Mods", and just scroll through the entire list. Sometimes you find things you weren't even looking for (and I've had this happen to me too!!) As we all know the Search function can be kinda dumb.... Pasko's Euro Re-skins is most definately there, as I uploaded them quite some time ago. They're also available at my site. Link's down below, in my sig. have fun! Wrench kevin stein

SUPERB!!!! Wrench kevin stein

Don't add anything; Don't change anything. Play some singlemissions, play a campaign; make sure everything STOCK works correctly FIRST before modding. SUGGESTED: if you have room on your HD, make a 2nd install (just copy the whole thing to a new folder. Name the Folder "WoV_Modded".) Create a new shortcut to it as well. That way you always have the stock, un-messed-with version to copy broken bits from to the modded install THEN you can start adding stuff to the modded install ONLY, one at a time, and see what works and what don't. BTW, what OS are you running? Windoze XP or Vista? Vista has a whole 'nuther set of issues... Wrench kevin stein

<shaking head> Nutjobs. 'tards Those whackos should be put up against a wall and executed as enemies to good taste and intellegent thinking. It IS a major pity that the Shuttle never reached it full potential. I've always thought of it as a 'space pick-up truck' to haul things back and forth. To bad the SSTOs never got off the ground, or even the 2-part spaceplane (carrier and orbiter) ... I think they would've been much better, in the long run. The real shame is the national will, turning it's back on the Human Expansion Into Space. As a child of the space age (born in 1957 - so my early years were filled with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, to say nothing of the statellites and robot moon landers -Surveyor, Mariner, etc), I fell "The Dream" has yet to be fulfilled. To quote Tom Hanks in Apollo 13 -- "When are we going back?" Wrench kevin stein ps: if anyone is ever near Hutchinson, Kansas, make the trip to the Cosmodome (?) Space Museam. You won't be sorry!!
