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

And I suggested some fooling around with WWI designs... guess people are just too serious here SR-71 flies fast. This thing flies high Any in-game flak that can reach 21500m?

No extra bouncing on landing. But Badgers occasionally get bouncy-bouncy

Awesome reaction time, guys

Извлекаются из любой игры ThirdWire вот этой утилкой http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=343 weapondata вроде в ObjectData.cat лежит, но там файлов дочерта и придется список внимательно рассматривать. С миссиями - хз. Сам попробовал в WoI - ни танков ни кораблей. И базу с полезными сведениями как назло сейчас реорганизовывают... А в каком самолете анимация глючит?

WoI's AI is so aggressive it feels like shameless cheating when you don't give them a chance to shoot you on the way home by pressing Esc. Manual takeoff is fun - load A-4 with maximum possible number of Rockeyes and you'll see.

Wings Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Question: Anyone hit anything with Matra R.530? Can't get it go anywhere near target. Found this article here... http://www.forecastinternational.com/Archive/mm/mm0580.htm

I heard such calls today before our flight hit the enemy tanks. Used freecam and F6. No unusual smoke markers or special planes, but there was a stray A-4 with three droptanks and rocket pods. Apparently it just nailed one of the Arab tanks with a rocket and that made some smoke.

Yeah... same as in FE

Ok.. and TK said it were later variants that got some advanced avionics. Just noticed that when you select bombs or rockets the sight stays the same but shifts to a lower position to help aim a little. And that's why you can't hit a thing with gun when rockets are active. So Skyhawk has some sort of rudimentary aiming assist...

I'm not talking about target position, automatic bomb release etc. Airspeed + radar altitude + relatively known bomb/rocket flightpath + CPU = caculation of impact point on supposedly flat terrain. In WOI Kfir's radar works that way, if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, but FE didn't have Frescos with flaps, airbrake, gear and all that stuff. And I never had enough luck to see anyone land there except for flight of scared bombers who landed at sight of fighters.

Pressing F6 a lot sometimes brings interesting results. Like a landing flight of Mig-17s

Ok... got it Still, it's strange that all those radars give no aid for bombing. Hey, I got out of this alive and even in one piece! Half of them wasted ammo and missiles and headed home. While others were turning around I dropped the tanks and hit AB at low atlitude. Landed on nearest friendly airbase avoiding last missile already on approach...

Learned to kill and not get killed in Mirage a little After missing all his shots Mig-17 ran away from me and I could swear he went for cloud cover. Didn't go higher or lower - just hid on cloud level so I had to track him with radar and looking for exhaust trail. After a while he did a sharp turn and radar lost him but at the same time we flew into a huge gap in clouds so I could get a visual lock. Cannon did its job then. That was FUN! Wiki page on A-4 says that among other stuff A-4E and the later versions were fitted with What are those two supposed to mean and is there any assistance to bombing aim in A-4? Maybe I just don't see it... BTW, WOI manual says that A-4H were Israeli special model, but same wiki page says it was A-4F.

Купил вполне русской кредиткой альфабанка. Как и в случае с адд-оном к First Eagles прошло без проблем, минуты через две после оплаты уже получил адрес для скачивания. Никакого гемора с активацией и прочей защитой. И переписать инсталлятор можно куда угодно.

Can't. Stop. Taking. Pictures. I like numbers in this sim... 16 rocket-loaded Vautours - this is madness! Escorted by me and my wingie... half didnt' even make it to the target :) And... those guys. Both managed to take quite a beating. Sidewinders can't hit even them... none of the four me and my wingie launched got even close to hitting though I had a lock on. Then Two wasted all cannon ammo and I had to come in. One got its tail shot to bits, the other was hit in the engine and blew up so hard there literally wasn't anything to fall on the ground.

Had to land just now in the desert in friendly territory - 3 Fishbeds and one Fresco started dancing around me. Hit airbrake, 0 throttle, glided for a while forcing them to maneuver a lot - they couldn't get a shot on me and trying to gun one of them myself was a clear way to die. But I delivered one Sidewinder into Mig-17 rear earlier so wasn't sorry about quitting early. Hm... you know - the desert's not so flat You cant' see them from above but there are lots of small hills in some areas. Nice change from table flat fieds of First Eagles. Can actual 60-70 jets stand landings on "uncivilised" terrain?

Started 6 Days War campaign yet again. Those massive airstrikes look awesome... Campaigns are great in general. Returning after mission only to find your own airfield under attack and get rear full of shells on landing approach.. fun! I noticed there are well armoured Ammo Bunkers next to the airfield. Will destroying them limit enemies' ordnance?

Hell on earth... Love night missions. Strike mission - ordered wingman to cover me against Mig-21. He jettisoned all ordnance and went after them blazing guns. A-4 seems to work quite nice against in gun combat but jams come fast... Apparently the rear turrent is unmanned They sure can fight though Funny, the ships in the port are not the type I'm sent to bomb in Anti-ship strikes

На всякий пожарный - Weapon editior под XP надо запускать в режиме совместимости с win98. Объяснение принципов анимаций (на английском) http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=24370 Завтра сам будут пытаться подключить открывабельные кабины родным cамолетам WOI, поэтому непонятные моменты может смогу прояснить.

NQ4: Any way to make canopy open? I found in A-4F data.ini that it already has animationID assigned... Edit: Oh, wait.. I should create a system for it as in here? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=24370
