    ** Operation Tainted Cigar Ver 2.0 **

    *******************************************************************************

     

    This is a complete upgrade of Operation Tainted Cigar, to be compatable with

    Strike Fighters: Project 1 v08.30.06 and Wings Over Europe v08.30.06. Previous

    versions of OTC are not needed nor compatible.

     

    Work specific for this update was done by USAFMTL, Deuces, Fubar512, and

    JSF_Aggie.

     

    Thanks to Crab_02 for testing and quality control.

     

    In addition, several 3rd party addons from the SFP1 community were added to

    this updated version of OTC. Please read through the credits for the SP4

    update, as well as the list of contributors for the original OTC released

    10-28-2005.

     

    *******************************************************************************

    ** Install Instructions **

    *******************************************************************************

     

    - Create a seperate install of either Strike Fighters: Project 1 or Wings Over

    Europe.

     

    - Patch your install to the latest version via the patch(s) available at

    www.thirdwire.com. At the time of this release, the current version is

    v08.30.06. You will see your current version in the bottom, right corner of

    the MainScreen.

     

    - Drop the contents of this package into your install's main directory,

    overwriting all files.

     

    - If you chose to install this into Wings Over Europe, one more step is

    required. In the /Terrain/Cuba/Cuba.ini change:

     

    CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat -->> CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

     

    *******************************************************************************

    ** Troubleshooting Tips **

    *******************************************************************************

     

    - Please read through the bullets below prior to posting any questions. OTC

    has been tested over a long period of time, but I'm sure there is a bug

    here or there that we missed. If you find something you believe is a bug,

    we would appreciate your feedback.

     

    However, if you are seeing something as obvious as "my carrier is missing",

    or "my campaign is CTD'ing at mission start", check what you did, and verify

    you only did what are in these instructions. Do you really think we would

    have released this if we had not played through several campaigns? If this

    seems harsh, or pisses you off in some way, go play something else.

     

    - Use a seperate install. Of course it is possible to merge these files

    into an existing install, if you know what you're doing. If you choose to

    not use a seperate install, don't expect any technical support. We can't

    fix your problems if we don't know what all you've installed.

     

    - If you do not have any runways and/or you are exploding on the ground, it is

    because your terrain isn't finding a cat file. Check the line in the file

    Cuba.ini: "CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat"

     

    - Do not install any weapons pack. All required weapons are included in the

    package. If you cannot load weapons onto your aircraft, this is the

    reason.

     

    - This was primarily tested with Strike Fighters: Project 1. It was briefly

    tested in Wings Over Europe. It was NOT tested in Wings Over Vietnam do

    to the lack of the Il-28. If you choose to install into WOV, don't expect

    any technical support.

     

    - Load times are long prior to mission start. I assume this is because of

    many hi-res textures, and a large variety of ground objects used in the

    terrain.

     

    - Unfortunatly, none of this was tested on what I would consider a low end

    machine. If you are experiencing frame rate issues it may be do to the

    hi-res runway textures, hi-res cockpit textures, or the hi-res F-100 skins.

    Looking to release this thing tonight...........

  2. To the best of my knowledge, F-4 Phantoms in all three US services were not equipped with chaff or flares during the Vietnam war, although a few USAF Phantoms were set up as "Chaff Bombers", during the latter days of that conflict.

     

     

    As ezlead said most were added most were fitted with them as Cubi Point and Thailand. Linebacker II had many many aircraft fitted with them.
