thanks USAF glad I asked before I tried

New computer installing my games. considering Installing SFP1 in a folder "Flight" then installing WOV in same folder on top of SFP1 overwriting duplicate files and adding any file that is new then installing WOE in same folder on top of SFP1+WOV again overwriting duplicate files and adding any file that is new idea being A save drive space (add weapons pack only once etc) B integrate the three games anybody tried this or something similar is there a better way? any help appreciate thanks Bluzman

Keep graphics engine the same high frame rates more important than super detail terrain new flight model for helicopters of course possibly combat missions and search and rescue third wire is best for a fairly detailed simulator yet still easy and fun dont change that formula

Drop a few bombs while sitting on Runway - makes u laugh!

I have impaired hand function - I use a trackball(mouse) to fly other sims will this work with this sim? looks like super sim want to it

WOE and WOV are fun to play - also make a nice lazy flight simulator if you fly a recon LOMAC is a chore for casual simmers like me

Here are two missions I do this with copy and paste mission to text editor change airplane to your choice save as **************.msn load as single mission fly #1

I'm trying to save generated missions that are real good (Airport close to target - abundant targets) It seems there should be a temporary mission file generated I have paused the game to look for this file with no luck any ideas or help much appreciate thanks Bluzman

Great work, thanks, the hills valleys and mountains are outstanding and make the flying more fun and interesting

On my quest for frame rate nirvana I stumbled onto a neat trick. Go to any aircraft skin folder and delete the decals.ini file, I went from 30 to 60 frames per second. Apparently a huge ammount of CPU power is used to cover the planes with decals. I did this to opponent airplanes too and the frame rate for dogfights stays very high, never below 30 for me. This has a down side, Your planes have a more basic appearance, If you are interested in historical accuracy this is not the way to go. I like the simple basic look of the planes. If your after pure air combat game play give this a shot, The planes fly so great I made the tradeoff. Try with one or two planes before you batch delete.

anybody got link for Roland C.II Walfisch cant find the darn thing thanks

great work nice plane TY
