ThirdWire released their Starfighter as an official addon for SF Gold - afaik it should be here on CA for download.

Do you really want to get into this? It's very complicated & has lots of angles & 2 very different viewpoints depending upon which community ...

Apparently that tender is being re-opened again for whatever reasons ... Whilst it's a great aircraft & can operate at ranges & heights that other choppers can't it's not exactly quiet which you would have thought would be an advantage .

iirc even the stats for the Il2 series have the % of people playing online v units sold in single figures.

You might be surprised - TK does take note & often surprises us with unexpected things. You do have to consider though that he is literally a 1 man band who hires in a few extra people for artwork etc. when needed. & so far FE was totally funded by TW (no developer advance etc.) & hasn't yet made a penny profit although TK thinks that it will. TK has always been upfront in that he believes that MP is not an important feature for his main target market (& I tend to agree with him with I suspect probably under 5% using MP). It wouldn't surprise me if at times he has seriously considered what Shockwave did with BoB2 & just dropping MP altogether. On the other hand nor would it surprise me if one day MP got improved.

what Thomas said although it's more like 5DOF than 6 on this engine.

well, it's all done with blue screen & CGI rather than a cast of 1000's (needless to say a lot cheaper). & there are certainly going to be historical inaccuracies like the armour ... It's a terrific story though & another generation could use reminding about duty, self-sacrifice etc.

iirc http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...mp;showfile=691 is the Third Wire template for the Mig-21

let us know what you think once you've seen it - I've also got my eye on this one.

yes, there is. It's probably to be found in http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=99

WOE was designed to merge install with WOV as they both were published by the same company (Bold Games). Strike Fighters P1 was not published by the same company & as such doesn't have an easy merge install option.

welcome :yes: No, you don't need to be an expert for First Eagles & it should make an excellent introduction. I would look at the Saitek Evo Force & the Logitech Force 3D Pro

The UK bought some upgraded ones (digital cockpits & all) a few years ago for Special Forces Ops. & they have sat in a hangar ever since they were delivered as the RAF refuses to certify them as safe to fly - I don't know the full details but afaik it centres around the control system.

TK will support both equally.

Yes, Dell now own Alienware. If you give us a budget & your main requirements we can spec. up something for you as long as you are confident that you can do the asssembly part (the mechanical assembly is easy, installing the software is a bit longer). Everything that I read about Vista screams at me not to upgrade to it for a while.

I think that as long as the author isn't recently active, that the original release allowed for free use & attempts to contact have been made & proved negative that it can be considered abandonware but credit should be still given in any mods?

you do have .NET installed?

that's called target fixation - a very real threat in real life.

There are carriers in WOV F-15 definitely has a hook. F-4 has a hook (see http://airpower.callihan.cc/images/Modern/...-MFAM-rF4-5.jpg ) Norwegian F-5 had a hook F-104 has a hook F-16 has a hook F-117 has a hook F-22 has a hook etc. etc.

WOE

I belive that GoGamer had it as an import.

because the real aircraft has 1 to stop it in the event of brake failure.

Yeah, I sent Terry an email a few months ago but never received a reply. I hope that he's doing fine.
