To quote TK: "This means the game did not detect DX9 driver. Try reinstalling the latest version of DirectX (9.0c), also try reinstalling your graphics driver." Perhaps try posting in Third Wire's forum for the other issues - afaik you are the only user to report this.

Hola & welcome to CombatACE. :) There are a no. of 3D modelling programmes that you can use but ultimately you need 3DS Max. This is an expensive programme although I believe that there are discounts for students. There is no released A-37 Dragonfly for SF/WOV although 1 was certainly started.

I did say that it wouldn't be a knife fight ... certainly nothing within 1 nautical mile without briefing.

"We're releasing another set of patches for our games! They are available on our website http://www.thirdwire.com , under download sections for Wings Over Vietnam, Strike Fighters Gold, and Strike Fighters Project 1!" Should be available in the downloads section here at CombatACE shortly. "The Patch addresses some minor issues introduced by the previous patch. Please read Readme.txt for more details. Note: This patch can only be applied to "v05.13.05" version of the game; if you have a previous version, please download and apply Patch 3.1 first. " " List of changes implemented since v05.13.05 (Patch 2). * REFLY button for client is now disabled in Co-op multiplayer debriefing screen until the host selects REFLY. * Co-op multiplayer clients sometimes receiving "Mission Failed" message immediately upon starting flight has been fixed. * Ground Object AI not firing when following waypoints has been fixed. * Game sometimes crashing when exiting has been fixed. * Shadow, which was accidentally left disabled in previous patch, is re-enabled. * AoA Indexer Lights now work based on airspeed when playing on EASY flight model. * EASY flight model has been adjusted so it is easier to land on the carrier. * Campaign units' scheduled re-base and texture changes work more consistently now. * Campaign pilot statistics sometimes being saved to a wrong pilot has been fixed. * Campaign save filename reverting to default filename when using the ACCEPT button instead of Enter key has been fixed. * Toggling the cockpit OFF in multiplayer mode will no longer render the aircraft invisible to other players. * All the flight model data has been further refined. * The graphics engine can handle Windows ALT-TAB message better"

Impromptu bounces/intercepts do happen in the UK regularly at least within the RAF community (& I'm fairly certain between RAF & USAF). However, we aren't talking about real close-in knife fighting style & they are certainly capable of talking to each other & setting up a few rules. It's quite possible that it happened but not quite as described ...

Not so much on this one but fear not it's definitely progressing nicely

It's very old or it's a rerun of something that happened about a year ago iirc. Even more impressive when you consider that the engines aren't being operated near their planned thrust yet. Initial operational capability isn't due for another year or so. Of course it may have been different if they were C's ...?

Now shipping! :)

I know that it is possible to add terrains to WOV but having SF P1, SFG & WOV I have never bothered myself with the details. The desert.cat file is the stock terrain for SF P1 whilst VietnamSEA.cat is the WOV equivalent. I'll see if I can dig up some details if someone like fubar doesn't come to the rescue first. OK try this courtesy of howling1 elsewhere: " Some terrains designed to use the desert.cat file can be adapted to use the VietnamSEA.cat file that comes with WOV. Try adding this line to the terrain config.ini file that you're trying to install in WOV ( Danger Bering Straits used as an example, add the line in bold ): [Terrain] TerrainFullName=Bering Straits (DBS) DataFile=DBS_data.INI TargetFile=DBS_targets.INI TargetTypeFile=DBS_types.INI MovementFile=DBS_movement.INI NationsFile=DBS_nations.INI BriefingText=DBS_briefing.INI DogfightFile=DBS_dogfight.INI DogfightOnly=FALSE CatFile=..\Terrain\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat" http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?download=651

Yes, Russo is very far along that road.

You have DX9.0C? Have you tried different driver sets?

SF P1 & WOV both use the same game engine. They are essentially the same except that they have a different aircraft mix, different campaigns, terrains etc. Most mods work in both (a few need some additional tweaking).

I think that it assumes that you will have the weapons pack installed in which case you will have a weapons folder. The weaponsdata.ini is in the Objects\ObjectData.cat & you need to extract it using the SF P1E extraction utility (available in Combat ACE downloads as is the weapons editor)

tbh I would just go to the add-on aircraft files area & sort by ascending date. That way you will have the latest files first & can just work backwards.

& did all the clients have the F-14 installed? http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=9345#9345

If the host PC doesn't have a mod installed then clients can't use it.

The "attack my target" command only exists for your own wingman who of course tends to stick around you. For other flights you only have "attack ground/air".

Unfortunately no, I did ask TK for an update recently & he was going to ask the publishers but haven't heard anymore.
