Yes, it's being worked on.

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

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.

Happy Birthday, Dave.

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

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

not really aviation though, is it? Maybe I should move it to The Bunker ...

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.

according to that page also Aces High II, BoB2 & Mig Alley. & Wings of War if we class that as a sim.

there is the original Steel Beasts but by modern standards the gfx suck. Steel Beasts Pro PE - the cut down version of the package that is used by many armies for training but it's expensive. & 1 day there will be Steel Beasts 2 - the game version of the training sim.

it's more like 5dof in the Third Wire games.

Apparently the BAE/Matra ALARM anti radar missile was compromised because 1 launched in Yugoslavia during Operation 'Allied Force' failed to hit it's target & soft landed in marsh. It was duly recovered by Yugoslavian forces & presumably studied by their engineers.

you mean http://english.people.com.cn/200208/30/eng...30_102357.shtml ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khankala_attack Google is a wonderful thing.

check out pilot pic #32 though ...

afaik they only lost 1 aircraft over the target in attacking airfields but I do believe that the bill for dry cleaning Gsuits was huge ...

good luck although I'm sure that you won't need it.

& the weapons release parameters in a modern air defence environment proved to be "interesting" for the crew. Pretty much replaced by standoff attack weapons.

It sounds like the X52 isn't calibrated properly but you say that it's fine in other games? My X36 works fine in SF/WoV/WoE from 0% with AB kicking in ~69% & continuing upto 100%.

I don't have an AV8R but you shouldn't have to actually flip the switch when programming. If you open the data view in the editor you should be able to program directly into the cells for each mode.

You are running the SST programming software?

SF Series is the Strike Fighter series from Third Wire. Strike Fighters/Wings over Vietnam/Wings over Europe & First Eagles are all based on the same game engine so have a lot of commonality. The biggest complaint gfx wise with them from people usually is the terrain textures - this is probably a result of a combination of the aforementioned wish to keeep the games playable on modest hardware & the fact that Third Wire is a very small studio with a limited budget. In fact First Eagles was entirely self-funded with no developer/publisher advance etc.. However, there are many upgraded (& indeed new) terrains available for the series by community modders when you feel ready to try them.

as has been said it sounds like you need to do some option customising. Personally, I've never found the view system odd but I don't know how you have yours setup. This developer's games are designed to be not only playable at decent rates on todays PCs but also those of a couple of years ago. As PCs move on so the game engine is updated through patches to take advantage of improvements. This does mean that there are going to be diferences between them & e.g. LOMAC, FSX, etc. which are usually designed for the hardware that will be out a year after the game .... :tomato2: As for terrain addons detc. did you look in the downloads section here at Combat Ace? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...s&showcat=2 & we are only 1 of several such sites ... Similarly you may find http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=99 useful.

afaik the fixes weren't for shadows but for clipping.

Well, as long as you are prepared to take the views of both sides & balance them in your own mind rather than just those of 1 side. It also of course doesn't just affect Ireland - in particular the West coast of Scotland, Liverpool etc. & Ireland have very close ties.
