Goodbye 7500LE, hello 9500GT. :yes: Vista has this hardware rating feature and it had rated the 7500LE at 3.0, but the 9500GT now running inside my computer gets a 5.3...I guess that's supposed to be some sort of progress. I still need to get Fallout 3, though.

Looks like it's time to get the HARMs with nuclear warheads out...

Not yet (apparently), yes, but not here & yes, but not here; since the last two are DAT products.

I hate to sound like a jerk here, but that vid isn't funny at all, it's just a display of pure stupidity. I really can't stand to see such people at a range...

Looks good. But if I may add a suggestion: replace the black & white insignia. Just the VFA-103 CAG bird has them.

what a wonderful world.

F-111 1.2? Cool, I'm looking forward to its release.

Are you going to make it?

I'll wait a day, then I update my upload of the Oct 2008 patch.

This 'bug/glitch/whatever' has been around long before the Oct 2008 patch. Also, IMHO it's actually not TK's fault. The game simply assumes that there are 100 level 2 (individual aircraft stuff, like Buzz numbers, etc.) decals for each skin. Most 3rd party skins usually have 12-16 level 2 decals. And to be honest, I'm not really convinced that removing the numbers.lst will change anything, since I do think that the game simply doesn't check how many decals are actually there. The RNG simply picks a number between 0-99 and that's it. The Alias.lst, introduced with the Sept 2008 patch, however may offer a workaround.

Want do you want to do? AFAIK the patches didn't change anything with regard to adding ships (carriers/other ships) to a terrain In case you just want to place a ship on the map then all you need to do is this: open the terrain_targets.ini, then add [TargetArea0xx] Name=[TargetAreaName] Position=X,Y <- coordinates, I use KMD to get those Radius=5657 ActiveYear=0 Location=5 <- look up terrain_nations for appropriate number Alignment=FRIENDLY/ENEMY CarrierStation=FALSE Target[001].Type=[shipname] = name of GO folder Target[001].Offset=-308.07,-660.34 <- how far away from the position Target[001].Heading=267 Target[001].ActiveYear=1980 <- Year from which on the ship will be there, could also be set to 0 Also, you'll probably have to edit the terrain_types.ini as well: This is the entry for the WOV stock SumnerFRAM DD. [TargetTypeXXX] Name=SumnerFRAM2 FullName=Sumner FRAM 2 class DD ModelName=DD.LOD TargetType=WARSHIP ActiveYear=1955 TargetValue=750 UseGroundObject=TRUE GroundObjectType=SumnerFRAM2 RepairRate=0.555 StartDetectChance=50 StartIdentifiedChance=20 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=5 MaxVisibleDist=10000.0 DestroyedEffect=MediumFire SecondaryEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryChance=100 This entry could use some additional modifications, Wrench should know what's missing here. Also, as a final remark, the game will target those ships and assign strike missions against them...which can be fun to watch. An enemy flight approaching an O.H.Perry at low level is practically on a suicide mission....

Yes, the October patch is essentially a slightly refined version of the Sept 2008 patch. No problem. You can't see it because it hasn't been approved yet. I have to admit that I'm glad that I've seen your uploads, otherwise I would have uploaded the WOE patch as well.

WOV patch is uploaded.

No problem, I must add though that right now I have only the patches for WOV & WOE, so if anyone wants to upload the other patches (WOI, SFP1 or FE), go ahead. :yes:

Can do.

I had a hunch that there might be another one coming, but I'm surprised by TK's swift execution.

C'mon, it's not the first time that TK has released a refinement patch soon after a new update came out....and don't forget, the sole reason this patch exists is that TK did listen to our feedback to the Sept 2008 patch. For example: * Guided bombs, when EASY Weapons Effectiveness Option selected, are made to hit their target easier. I'm not saying that this change was necessary, but it sure is a nice move by TK.

Except for the recon missions. Flying MP's F-117 (Cold War setting, Lockheed version and therefore just armed with a camera) into Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe was one of my most exciting sim experiences ever. It would be soo great if you actually had to 'take a photo' instead of just fly to waypoint #5.

First impressions: D'oh. TK fixed recon mission loophole. Now you really have to fly to the mission waypoint to complete the mission. Also, I like the updated map.

Right, nobody reads the readme these days: IMHO most, if not all the fixes are based on the feedback TK received after the release of the Sept 2008 patches.
