The zipper?

Так... проверил сам.. 1. Установил английскую (русской под рукой нет) First Eagles 2. Папки с Ньюпортами кинул в папку Objects\Aircraft 3. папку Weapons кинул просто в Objects 4. Запустил FE. Взял N.17 с двойным Льюисом. Железки стреляют и видны как из кабины так и снаружи. Попробуй переустановить FE и на чистом повторить. Необязательно старый удалять - можно просто другую папку указать инсталлятору и все нормально будет работать (некоторые по пять-шесть копий игры на харде держат с разными модами). Кстати, какая там версия игры? В главном меню в нижнем правом углу светится дата.

It was designed by Sukhoi and was indeed given number "100" but that was a factory name. The T-4 from Monino air museum is "101" variant, "102" and "103" were disassembled The original name "100" was simply given because the caclulated wieght of the design was about 100 tons. There IS a Su-100 but it's a "self-propelled gun 100(mm caliber)" - a tank destroyer.

I've got a 200-page Russian book on the bigger and uglier T-4. Max speed - 3200km/h at 20-24 km altitude Plans, pit shots, loadout schemes, flight test results, info on modifications and further development...

А, да, забыл.. Weapons по дефолту в папках FE нет. Но всякие оружейные моды с ней работают успешно. Может Weapons неправильно размещена? Должна быть \Objects\Weapons Внутри кладутся файлы с lod и текстурами. Стрелять-то будет все что в ini прописано, а вот модели как раз могут не проявиться. На родных самолетах FE бомбы, кстати, до сбрасывания в любом случае не видны.

I think runway missing was reported but not the reason for it http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=5065

Great!

The supply system is interesting... Started second (1973) campaign in one of F-4 squadrons. For the first week or two we had to perform SEAD and CAS with simple bombs and fight with Sparrows that were absolutely unusable at close range. Now we got a bunch of supplies - cluster bombs, gun pods, Mavericks, new Sidewinders and Sparrow E-2 which is more useful but still junk. Too bad 60% of my squadron are either KIA or POW.

R-60 you say... small, destabilised, nasty. Two versions listed and described: original R-60 and R-60M with improved heatseeker (both tracking angle and range. R-60M is all aspect) and stronger explosive charge. There's also UZR-60 for training - has neither wings nor engine but records something. It also can get a lock on target without aircraft actually pointing its nose at it. Gets bearing to target (up to 120 degrees) from plane's radar and/or heat tracker. Has two types of pylons - and I'm pretty happy MiG-21 in WoI don't carry dual ones as the book says in 1982 there were reports of Lebanese R-60 flying right into Israeli exhausts. I'm scared

Doesn't look that big to me Just 3.6m long. Found a pdf-ed Russian book on our A2A missiles. From RS-1U installed on MiG-17 to RS-77 for MiG-31. There's also a similar book on A2G missiles.

Until someone nukes them from below

Check options - there has to be measurement units setting somewhere - choose English. That'll change units displayed in game's HUD.

First Eagles без экспаншена? Хм.. Самолеты в папке Aircraft, содержимое Weapons скопировано в Weapons игры. А... на экране брифинга перед вылетом, в закладке Loadout (не помню, как перевели - там где вооружение выбирается) - вроде, эти льюисы нужно в меню подвесов выбрать, тогда они на модели появятся.

In WoV it says "MIA", but WoI clearly states "captured by the enemy".

But being "captured" over own field is strange. Do Arabs have special net-planes to catch ejected pilots?

Annoying, yes.. Shoud be reported at TW forums

TK, chanded the way rockets fire - see here.

This afternoon I was sent on Armed Recon in WoI (and barely escaped), so when engine update comes the rest of series might get the feature as well.

eg shadow system is completely redone (first in FE:EP I think) and planes look more 3D than ever. Even smallest surfaces are casting shadows without the need of a special crude shadow LOD.

The review is like an add-on to reviews of previous games in the series I don't play MP and must admit enjoy stock AC a whole lot. AI rocks, campaigns are never boring. Already bought WoE and WoV and now wait for engine update. Ain't it a sign of a great game Don't care much for 100% detailed simulation as it turns a game into a job...

After dozens of stalls and slips in 6 day war I figured it out myself and started doing vertical turns and stopped pulling stick like crazy. And if you got a ****load of MiGs on your tail don't try to make a nice big turn - hit the airbrakes, cut throttle, pull up. They usually miss their guns and don't have time for proper missile lock - then can't brake in time and slide right in your sights.

I think each forum member shoud get a set of "kill marks" showing how many topics were downed by their high-precision Monty Python quoting. Assists should be counted too. Marks like the Knight of Ni head... or butt pipers.. or much rejoicing.. or the curtains.. or Tim.. and the Legendary beast of AAAGH! and that's only one movie. Romani ite domum. And of course, "The salmon mousse". Those who don't participate will be marked with Mr.Gumby.

WE spell it easily cause in Russian it's got only 7 letters Yeah, that's M-55. Seen it on MAKS-2007 very close... didn't realise before how huge it is. BTW, I think I got loads of pictures of stuff from that airshow, both mine and some downloaded from torrents (even with video!)... but so far I found the strength only put up >this gallery. Don't get jealous, I did it for EECH team
