I play on a 19" TFT for perhaps 1.5 year now. 8 ms response time. No problems at all with any game!

Getting better results now with the Shrike. Use RWR, fly with the target radar set in the 12 o'clock position, and most of all I fly level and a little bit nose up, instead of diving, "lofting" the Shrike so that it gently goes balistic by itself, homing in on the active radar and "Whammo" as somebody mentioned earlier in this forüm. This really works and they mostly hit now; some hit the ground. No luck still with the standard ARM, but with a little practice this should work as well soon.

Thanks guys for your comments Typhoid: I know that the Shrike and the Standard ARM are bots ARMS, however I understand that the standard ARM acquires the target and has memory so that it continues on to the target radar site even if these guys on the ground switch the set off, is that correct. Now I think what you mean is that there is no difference in launching both types, although I seem to have read somewhere that the Standard ARM was better in acquiring a target even when not exactly in the 12 o'clock position? CoolHand29: when you say "…and then nose up a bit then fire …." Is that what bunyap is talking about in the Weapons Delivery Manual under Anti Radiation Missiles (pg. 80)…"The original mode of operation was to send the Shrike on a lofted trajectory (for maximum range) towards a suspected SAM site. As soon as the missile had passed its peak altitude and started to come down, its seeker would detect the site's radar emission and home on it."….? Anyhow, this is interesting stuff. Thanks again

Hello fellow Weasels I am reviving this pretty old topic a bit. I also have problems getting hits on SAM radars with the F-105G, both with the Shrike and the standard ARM. I have been following the procedure as told above and getting better results with the Shrike now, however I still have no luck (or clue) with the ARM. I have one question here. Does it make a difference if you are in a dive or should I rather fly level? I found out that I am mostly in a dive and the missiles tend to slam into the ground short of the target. Now here is another thing. After some frustrating 105-G missions I downloaded the F-4G from column5. Beautifully done, and of course not realistic to go downtown with but I had a lot more succes with the Shrikes here. I had no ARM loaded, is also not possible I think. Anyhow, the Shrike should be the same as the one you load on an F-105G. Does anybody have a clue and/or hints how the perfect the AR missiles firing in WOV? Thanks

Hello all I tried the weapons editor for the first time today, imported the WEAPONDATA.INI from the Objects/Weapons folder in WOV, but when I wanted to save I got an error window with "Unable to create for writing!". The changes were not saved and the editor closed. Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a manual available how to use the editor? Still a newbee, sorry. Thanks

Hi all and/or administrators I am loging in to this website from 2 different locations (home and away from home). Everytime so far when I log in at the other location I get a login (wrong login name / wrong password) error, are locked out and need to go through the password recovery procedure. Is this normal? I am using the exact same login name and password at both locations. I never had this kind of problems on other websites. Your comments are very welcome! Thanks

Hi Erik Same thing happens again at my home computer. I sent you an email with the details! THX Jos

Let me try that Crusader. Q: Will that disable the FF or make it workable? Thanks

Hi all I have a joystick problem too in WOV. I am using a Logitech Wingman Force and it is vibrating so much that it is hard to control. I have switched off force feedback in the stick’s software but it makes no difference. Does WOV not support FF or is it rather the stick and / or the software? Thanks

Hi everyone I am new to this forum, new to WOV but have some experience with flight sims. I have bought WOV just recently and although I have not seen it all yet, I am delighted with this sim so far and the fact that it covers the airwar over Vietnam. Finally able to fly the Thud. I have also discovered some good sites where add-on aircraft can be downloaded, but have not been able to locate the venerable F-105G Weasel. Does anybody know if such add-on already exists and if so where to look? Thanks much, good hunting "....and kill Migs" Jos (LeadZeppelin)

Got it Bwf. Great!. I had been looking at the subcategories only and did not see the F-105. As I said I am a newbe to this site. Now let's weasel out some of these SAM sites. Thanks again!

Thanks Showtime 100, I'll check that out. I have some problems getting into this site at the monent though.
