  1. Courage

    & often their own aircraft were as deadly to the pilot as the enemy's. These weren't highly stable aircraft with precise handling & the speed of progress was such that what was top of the heap 1 month was a sitting duck 3 months later ...
  2. What sim should I buy?

    Gogamer carry it as an import afaik. Just to let you know that in Europe at least there is a new value bundle coming out including 4 games: Battle of Britain II Wings of Victory F/A-18 Operation Desert Storm First Eagles The Great War: 1918 Strike Fighters Gold http://www.amazon.co.uk/Combat-Flight-Coll...9321&sr=8-1 http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/3250872/-/...;searchsource=0 http://www.startupsoftware.co.uk/cgi-bin/s...tml%23a406#a406 £14 ($27) incl. worldwide postage
  3. anyone tried using the wayback machine? http://www.archive.org/index.php
  4. RE-8

    iirc the next Third Wire installment is meant to have an RE-8
  5. v.5.25.06 was a hotfix - if you download v5.15.06 from Thirdwire now what you get is SFP1_sp051506b.exe which combines the original v5.15.06 & the v5.25.06 hotfix
  6. because Third Wire calls some of them Service Packs (i.e more than just patches as they include additional functionality as well as fixes). then there are patches & hotfixes ... & the previous packs are still available in the downloads section here.
  7. The late tranche 1 Typhoons already have an air-to-ground capability using paveway. Anyway, it looks like this is probably where they got their info from before adding their own unique spin http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/index.cfm?story...E38C1F1E8385517 Also, more at http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/...t-contract.html
  8. That's really rather cool.
  9. why don't you ask TK if it could be made so ( obviously not just for WOV)?
  10. New Chinook

    Thing is that the cost of remanufacturing a CH-47D (i.e. a 20 year old bird) to CH-47Fs is reportedly $8.5 million & that incl. new engines etc. so why are we paying ~$12 million per aircraft just for downgraded avionics ...?
  11. New Chinook

    well, the latest news is that the MoD is going to spend £60m to get these 8 or 9 airframes operational - by downgrading their avionics ...
  12. Can`t reach SimHQ?

    working fine here & has been for the last few hours at least.
  13. welcome http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...amp;#entry58744 ? there is no downloadable f-117 at the moment & that campaign appears to use the F-15A rather than E although I'm sure that it could be modded.
  14. Around about that time the RAF strategic bomber force also flew intrusion missions against the US continent as exercises but afaik not at low level. Again they were successful in reaching all of their targets undetected/uninterrupted ...
  15. there's also the v08.30.06 patch after Service Pack v05.15.06. The service packs/patches update the core game engine with all the additional features that have been added over the years allowing for better eyecandy as well as better gameplay but it does mean that it won't run as well on lower end hardware as originally. Yours isn't a common complaint afaik though. Iirc the nVidia 5 series has something pretty badly broken - SM 2.0? Have you asked on Third Wire's tech supprt forum?
  16. cue george Thoroughood & The Destroyers ... On the day I was born The nurses all gathered 'round And they gazed in wide wonder At the joy they had found The head nurse spoke up And she said "leave this one alone" She could tell right away That I was bad to the bone Bad to the bone Bad to the bone B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone B-B-B-B-Bad B-B-B-B-Bad Bad to the bone ....
  17. ATi Catalyst 7.3 is out

    http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
  18. Yes, it's being worked on.
  19. welcome :yes: A good no. of the downloads should have readmes but you should also chk out the knowledge base http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=99
  20. Modding basics ?

    Hi, You might want to check out the Strike Fighters/WOV/WOE Knowledge base as it's basically all the same as they use the same game engine. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=99 The game usually reads from the .cats but if you have something extracted it will read that before looking in the .cats. This is doubly good as if you screw up somewhere you can remove it & the game will go back to reading the .cats. You can get the .cat extractor from the downloads section here at CA.
  21. Look Who's 35 Today....USAFMTL

    Happy Birthday, Dave.
  22. Armor Sims?

    yes, but afaik the section is Military & General Aviation i.e. Military Aviation & General Aviation
  23. AirBus A380

    actually they're commercial loans but it happens on both sides of the Atlantic in 1 form or another.
  24. Armor Sims?

    not really aviation though, is it? Maybe I should move it to The Bunker ...
  25. SF was 1 of the first (if not the first) games to have support for enhanced. Afaik if you have to do any configuring it'll be in the TIR software.
