Why do I every Sunday, I sit there and watch my Detroit Lions lose.....then swear them off, then go back and watch them the next week! I guess I like torturing myself! :slow(en): :fuk:

Still WIP.....we lost the original max file so what you see is what you will get. There are some things wrong with it that could be fixed in max but as I said it's gone.

But anyway SayWhat?! we are doing this for you my friend hopefully have it for you in a few days. Merry Christmas.

Great looking skin Coolhand. FYI they actually painted a few up like this and flew them for test trials.

Wasn't sure if you knew this or not.

You can't go wrong with any of those titles. Because the enjoyment of the titles can be shared between all 3.

Anytime my friend!

Madjeff just uploaded it. That is mine, Tiwaz's and Wpnssgt's work.

So go ahead.

Just give him credit in the readme. Got a link to the original skin?

Ummm did you check the knowledge base here in the SF/WOE/WOV/FE section? Also have you looked in the downloads section for helos?

Being a recent convert from the Thrustmaster Cougar all CH Products set up I was very excited to hear about the upcoming Multi Function Panel. (MFP from here on out) I got into contact with good folks at CH and soon had an MFP heading my way.

About a week later I received a knock at my door and there it was, in all its splendor and glory. It came in a nice little white box. I opened the box and there in its packing was the answer to my prayers in flight sim “avionics” programming. It came with a little box holding 25 little push buttons and a Control Manager install disk. The MFP itself is a black, flat, looking panel. It has a clear hard plastic cover that goes over the panel. This is where you will place those 25 little buttons. Speaking of those 25 buttons, each one is black and they are numbered. They stick to the clear cover by an adhesive. Some people might be alarmed by this, don’t be. What ever this stuff is made from it stays sticky. Just one catch, when you decide you want to move the buttons, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT try to just pull them off. You need to TWIST them off. You do it that way and they will virtually work forever. I only had one problem setting it up and that was button 25. I placed it on the panel and then I decided I wanted it in another place, but when I went to twist it off, the adhesive stayed on the surface of the clear panel. So I put the button back on tried it again. It came off on the second try. That was the only button that did that. Well a friend of mine showed me some background templates you can print out to put under the clear plastic cover. This serves a few purposes. 1. It gives you a reference on where you might want to place the buttons. 2. It enhances the overall look of the MFP. 3. And finally gives the end user the ability to personalize it. I made mine look like the MFD of an F-15E. I chose that because I am combat flight simmer. But if you are a Microsoft Flight Simmer, you can make something to go with that. It’s up to you, but let’s get back to the buttons. The technology behind these things is amazing. As I said, they sit on the clear plastic cover and never touch the actual surface of the MFP. Yet when you press a button the MFP knows it. It gets better; say you have button number 5. You can place it anywhere and it knows that it is button number 5. Like I said, it’s amazing. So I got it the way I wanted to look. Now to the install.

Installation was easy. I plugged the MFP into one of my USB ports and dropped the install CD in to the tray. The whole process took less than a minute. No problems there.

Ok now what? I need something to program into it. Oh my god, I have too many flight sims installed, where do I start? Which sim do I use? AHHHHHHHHHHH. “THUD” After passing out from sensory overload I awoken to a bright light. I heard someone in a loud booming voice “Dave…..Dave….DAVE…. GET UP!

I jumped up startled. “Yes”.

“Dave, go to the CH Hanger and get a CMC file to program your MFP.”

“But which one oh simming god?”

“Why LOMAC or Strike Fighters you twit.” Then he slapped me in the back of the head.

And with that the light went away. Was I dreaming? Was that the Overlord of Simming? Did I maybe just have too much to drink? The jury is still out on that one. So I headed to the CH Hanger and got me a couple of CMC files to begin the mapping process. I decided to program my install of Strike Fighters. I am not going to get into the particulars of how to program it because you do that just like any other CH Product. It is extremely easy. I learned in one hour how to program it. “But Dave what did you program into it?” Well, I am glad you asked Timmy. I programmed the ability to turn my radar on and off, increase and decrease the radar range and the search, boresight and ground modes. Then I added the ECM selection. I also added weapon selection options. Separate buttons for A2A and A2G weps. From there I programmed the weapon release spacing for bombs and the ripple fire options for the rockets. Waypoints selection was added to another set of buttons. Next was the map key. To keep track of what you programmed there is a large set of dry rub decals that came with the MFP you can put on the buttons. There is a ton of them so you should be able to find what you need. I didn’t add any as I have a good memory. By the time I got done programming the MFP, the Pro Throttle, and the Fighterstick. I could now fly entirely independent of the key board. I jumped into the sim and it was amazing that I didn’t need to use the keyboard for the first time. Now that is immersion!

But don’t think you can only use it simming. You can use it for just about any game you have. Right now I am working on a map for Age of Empires III. I am also going to make one to use with Photoshop for when I am skinning aircraft. The usefulness of the MFP can not be understated. With about 12,800 key combinations the possibilities are endless. I just can not tell you enough how great the MFP is. It was the answer to something I was missing in my 22 years of combat flight simming. It’s easy to use, program and takes up very little space. It is a must for every simmer. Even if you are not a simmer the usefulness of the CH Multi Function Panel crosses over to many other applications. I have done many reviews for Avsim and other sites. I have reviewed sims, games, hardware and aircraft but this review was by far the most fun. I would like to thank CH for giving me this opportunity to review the MFP. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

You can get the MFP from http://www.provantage.com/ch~110CHPU.htm or http://www.chproducts.com/shop/usb.html#23

I've posted a review of the CH Products Multi-Function Panel here:

CH PRODUCTS MFP REVIEW

There are some great features so don't miss out...this thing is AWESOME!

Was reading through the campaign.ini files in WOE's default 1968 campaign last night and noted several USAF B-57B squadrons based at Laon airbase in France though the game has them re-locating to German fields for the campaign. After some brief checking, I found that there were no operational B-57B squadrons in USAFE in September 1968--the setting for the campaign. The field at Laon, France was also in the process of being closed by France's decision to withdraw from NATO's military alliance. I have updated the .ini files to replace these B-57B squadrons with RF-4C TRS units located initially at UK bases. I still need to update the skins for those squadrons to finalize the process, but I can upload the campaign ini files if anyone is interested.

Dude the campaign is fictional and in a war such as that, they would of deployed from the States. So anything is possible.

Cant wait for this Fracture. Looks damn good.

God that is a big missile.

Excuse my ignorance, but didn't the A-team build the Coral Sea and the Enterprise? It would be pretty easy to implement them into a campagin. Also, the screenies show them...

They will be in there.
