I have added 4 categories to the ADD-ON AIRCRAFT cetegory for SF/WOV. They are as follows: Modern Era Aircraft Cold War Era Aircraft Helicopters WW2 Aircraft WW1 Aircraft If anyone submits a new Add-On Aircraft, please try to select one of these categories. This should help in the search process rather then have users simply rifle thru the 275 aircraft that are currently uploaded. Meanwhile, CombatAce staff will be editing the uploads and putting the aircraft into correct categories. If you have a link to this upload, it may change. This will take some time with the amount of add-on there are. I'm simply trying to organize things a little better for you as well as get the search function working appropriately. Cheers~ Fates

I guess I consider Cold War Era as Post WW2 to the Fall of the Berlin Wall

The interpretation of the person that's uploading the aircraft. ;) They can put it where they feel that it will most likely be found. Personally, I would put all modern day aircraft into the modern era. To me, this would include all F-16's, 15's, 18's, 22's. The F-14 may be the pivotal aicraft between these two era's and I personally would put it in the cold war side. However, it would be up to the interpretaion of the uploader. I didn't think that adding each aircraft as a category would be wise becuase I would just wind up with almost as many categories as I had aircraft. Cheer~ Fates

That does seem to be a problem dont it? We'll get on it.

TK has already commented that many pics may not 100% truely represent what will be contained in a final release. This news statement even has a disclaimer....but....can you think of a single show stopper as to why it couldn't happen? hehe ;) Fates

Go some new screenshots up too.... SWEET!!! Fates http://www.combatace.com/content/view/1257/2/

OK...couldn't resist this one.....

I've set my Command Pad up for several tactical shooters, and I'm sure it would work with flight sims as well. I've bound keys on the pad to commands in game. This can be done with the Saitek software. Congrats on Winning!

Great Post.... I maintain an Aircraft called N247B. It's a King Air 100 that we have dubbed 24/7 Biotch All of the above apply....lol <C> Fates

The Associated Press Updated: 6:41 p.m. ET Aug. 4, 2005 WASHINGTON - The front-line fighter jet of the Navy and Marines has suffered a series of recent accidents blamed on brake failure, exposing a problem that has spurred urgent warnings from commanders, military documents obtained by The Associated Press show. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8829186/

Can you name this sim? <C> Fates

As a civilian liscensed Aircraft Technician with Inspection Authorization, I believe there's only 1 mission of any aircraft be it military or civilian. That mission is to bring the occupants back to the ground safely. It's a shame that this brake situation was not resolved after the first couple instances. In the Civilan world, I think the cause and solution would have occured much faster. If this had happened on a 737 and it went of the runway and injured lives, the "SAME GOVERNEMENT" that armchair quarterbacks would have demanded a solution. I've seen this governement issue Mandatory AD's (Advisory Directives) that require a piece of paper be placed in the Flight Manual describing how Icing condition happen simply becasue 1 aircraft was lost and 60 people died due to the pilots inability to identify ice. The FAA is quick to pounce on these things. Whatever the solution is, it generaly cost the operator money. My opinion is that when something is going to cost the US Government money, they are probably not as quick to spend it....even when it will save lives. Like bad brake parts, added armor for Humvees, etc...etc...

Hey Injun....you keeping Dusty inline? Anyway...LOL...stop by the TeamODB forums over at http://www.TeamODB.com

This is gearing up to be pretty awesome for PS3... They say you'll be able to have MMO and actually fly with this many wingman....wow..!!! http://ps3.ign.com/articles/638/638298p1.html Can I get one of these Carriers fro WOV? <C> Fates

We at CombatAce.com are looking for a logo design to brand the website. The logo must be flexible enough to be made into CombatACE or CombatACE.com. Size and Color are up to the designer. Any background used in the logo should be interchangable to a different theme, ie. Naval Sims, Flight Sims, Tactical Sims, etc... We are simply looking to see what you can imagine as our minds have emptied all their imaginative juices at the moment. You may submit as many entries as you wish. The contest will run thru July 15, 2005 GMT. Prize? Well we thought that someone might enjoy a new Saitek Gamers Keyboard for their effort. The logo may be used in part or in whole. We are merely looking for ideas, and what better group of people to ask then those that come here all the time. The image(s) should be uploaded directly to this forums and should be no larger then 800x600. This does not mean that the actual logo could not be bigger, just that it helps in the ease of viewing all the logo designs. I know that there are some talented graphics people out there, but there are also many out there that may have an idea of what they would like, but struggle putting it into a paint program.. Don't be afraid. It's the idea that we seek. So, even though you may not be a graphical guru, simply cut and past a few things together and let us see what your idea is. We will judge the image based on your concept of what you would like to see, and not for it's technical correctness. One more thing.....no more than a six pack can be consumed during design without the presence of the CombatACE staff..... j/k. Good Luck Everyone! Cheers - Fates

After readin gwhat's been goin on with the "Flight of the Old Dog" Thread....decided to post my new wish list. I already have a few components on the way...and will wait on a few more till after the DUAL-CORE AMDs'are releasd... Antec TX1088AMG Computer case is a SOHO ATX Mid-Tower Case. With Front IEEE 1394, USB2.0, Audio in/out, & AnNtec TruePower 2.0 480W power supply. AMD64 4000? ASUS AV8-E OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) ATI - Radeon X850XT Platinum, ATi (Original) RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition 256MB GDDR3 PCI-Express VIVO/ Dual DVI Thermalright XP-120 HSF Pioneer DVR-109 DVD Burner Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA II hard drive, 300GB, 16MB Buffer, 7200 RPM. All things subject to change.....like I'm not sure the Mobo supports SATA II at this time...someI'll address that. Also prices will vary as I'm ready to buy and I may buy something up or down. But this is what I'm planning to build over the next 4 months. I've been needing a new machine for over 3 years now. can't wait to play some FarCry2 on a new machine.....besides...I think my son is ready for his own computer. Let me know if I should think about other mobos/cpus/vid cards/ etc... <C> Fates

I would recommend WOV over SFp1. The code is much more refined...and you have viable carrier landings. All the SFP1 originally created aircraft will work with WOV as it it virtually the same game....just had a lot of work on the code to make it even better. I Think you could get SFp1 and do all the patching and such and it should get you to WOV code, but why not start with WOV to begin with. Hope that helps...I'll let Buff and the others chime in on more specifics. <C> Fates

Id like to thank everyone that submitted entries to the contest. There are some great entries and everyone has done an excellent job in each of their creations. I apologize for the lengthy wait for an announcment of the winner. We spent some time debating the entries as they are so very well done. We have decided to award the Logo Contest prize to Tim Canada for his work with the Mig in the Crosshairs. Congratulations to Tim, and a special thank you to everyone else that entered the contest from your CombatAce Staff. Cheers~ Fates
