Hey USAFMTL, I noticed while playing a few minutes ago, that there is a key that quickly identifies what you have targeted. I was wondering if that can be manipulated to be displayed on the radar screen. Also, since the game can recognize what countries are hostile to each other, I would think that that same recognition can be maniuplated to be displayed as certain symbold on specific aircraft radars. I don't know how to program, and I don't know if this stuff that Im talking about that's already in the game is hard coded. Maybe there's someone here that might know.

Yeah I know, but I was wondering if it's possible to get a real world setup with the radar to display the target's airframe or if it's friendly or hostile. I know on the F-14 radar, it has different symbols for what friendly, neutral, hostile, etc... Now if we get an F-35 here, we'll be in some serious trouble because of how high-tech the hud is for that aircraft (it has actuall arrows that point the direction to where your target is, and it has 360 deg targeting). Have there also been any updates to the aircrafts here so that laser targeting, and programmed GPS targeting can be used for bombs? I noticed that they're using CCIP now. Was just wondering if anything else has been tinkered with the use of Avionics 70. Now if the mouse could be used to push buttons on the 3D cockpit we'd be really styling now. Wonder if anybody thought of adding a light relfection effect so that you can see targets far away as the sunlight reflects off of the aircraft. Oh by the way, I'm back from Iraq.

After installing the requirements for Wings over Europe: Operation Final Dawn and then the file its self, i get an error message from windows, stating that the MissileObject.dll had caused some kind of error and the program automatically shuts down. Does anyone know what is wrong? I do have the latest weapons pack.

Yeah, right when I made that last post I realized that's what the error message was telling me (I on a bit of a hang-over so thinking is kind of hard). So I got it updated and everything works fine. Now I need some asprin.

Well, it sort of worked. The program opens up fie. However, when I try to open up a mission, I get another error, indicating that the d3dx9_30.dll file is now missing and that the only way to recover is to re-install the application. I got the same message with my non-modded version of WOE. So I reinstalled that version. It worked fine after that. I then patched that version with the latest patch and I got the same message again. Any ideas why this is now happening?

Thanks for the link. However, the first two reasons that it explained that could be the cause shouldn't be the cause. I have the latest patch for WOE (it said that it could be installed using any version of WOE - does this also mean stock version as well?). I also have the latest weapons pack as well, so that shouldn't be a problem. The only other reason would be the rocket pod, which would be a very tedious task to sort through and find.

Hey guys, I'm a big fan of this game and would really like to participate in modeling new aircraft for it. I do have 3dsmax 7 and want to make some models for Strike Fighters. I realize that the models used are very detailed and that it will take me some time in making them. I do have a history in making models, so I'm not new to this. However, I would like to find quality references that can help me in make quality models. I have seen the links on this site that direct you to websites that have blueprints to aircraft, but the quality of the blue prints is not that good. I need detailed, profile pictures where I'll have no doubt knowing what the features on the aircraft are. The U.S. airframes that I'm interested in are the F-22, F-117, F-35 (and it's rival JSF: X-32 or was it X-33?), B-1B, AH-64A and D, and the F-16XL. The Soviet airframes that I'm interested in are the SU-25, SU-27, SU-30, SU-34, and the SU-37. I was also interested in doing the Eurofighter Typhoon ZJ802. If people are already doing some of these, then I'll "X" those off the list. Oh, and if someone knows where I can find blue prints to the F/A-37 Talon and EDI on Stealth, that would be great!

F.Y.I., it's Captain Jack Sparrow, other character is Will Tanner. Just saw the movie, that's why I know. O.K., this is OT.

Ah, O.K., I was told that textures were more of a contributor than polys. A budy of mine had a model that had over 68,000 polys, but with a small texture map, and it ran fine on this game that he had. The triangle count for the F-35 is around 2200 - 2300. I'm at work, so I won't know until I get on my comp at home.

Julhelm, here's the pic you wanted... Draakje, poly count is 1462, and it's the textures, not the poly count, that causes the slow downs on computers.

Latest updates on the F-35 before I get ready for work.

Sounds like a sensitivity issue with the throttle ingame.

Modeling in 3ds max isn't really as complicated as it sounds. It only took me 20 minutes in a tutorial (for Gmax) for me to understand the basic concepts of how things work. From there, I just basically learned how to use more of the program as I gained experience. I always learn something new in every model that I make. The only thing that I haven't been able to do is texturing, which I hear is a pain in the butt. The only downside to 3ds max is as stated previously, it is expensive. Also, if you're going to model in Gmax (which I did use at first), you're going to need to find someone who can convert the files, and even then, things might not work out right. Conversion of files usually end up with a lot of mesh errors. If you got the dough, I would seriously consider looking at 3ds max, lightwave, or maya (which a lot of game developers use). Freeware stuff is great, but they don't offer the full potential of what the real expensive programs have.

Military Training Leader. They are basically the military parents of the student airmen at techschool. If you did something stupid in class, and got a 341 (thats a comment card - usually pulled for bad behavior or not meeting standard requirements, i.e. wrinkled uniform, no creases, unshined boots, etc...) you would have to meet with your MTL later on in the day and they would document it down. They also made sure that you went to your appointments and that you phased up when you should phase up or phase down if you didn't meet standards of expectations. My MTL in tech-school really didn't do much except come by at the end of the day, say hi, and then leave. Infact, she gave us the answers to the airmen's test so it would make her job easier in correcting them. We all got Phase-3 and Phase-4! Oh, a phase is a level of "freedom and privileges" earned throughout your time in tech-school. Phase-4 is the highest phase level, where you can be in your civi-clothes after classes, go off base, and drink (as long as you are over 21).

I'm a little confused by the knowledge base thread for Avionics A/G. I'm trying to setup the CCIP for an F-16 and I'm a bit confused with how to set things up according to the thread in the knowledge base. How do I use the Avionics70.dll to be utilized in the F-16's avionics .ini file? Am I supposed to copy the Avionics70 from the my Flight folder and paste it in the F-16's folder? I added all the lines that it told me to add in the F-16's Avionics.ini file, but I've now lost use of the hud when I play the game. I also did the same for the gunsight as well (except puting the appropriate lines into the cockpit.ini file. So if you guys know the right way to do this, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Yep (It's SF now - Securit Forces, not SP; actually, they're going to change it again to Airforce Infantry... they're thinking of doing away with the whole law-enforcement deal and have my career field focus on base defense... private secuirty contractors will be hired on to do law-enforcement on the base... I see a near future problem with that). However, I'm not really from a military family. Both my grandpa's were in the Navy (my mom's father actually got to witness the nuke detonating at Bikini Islands), and I have an Uncle who is a retired Major from the Airforce. He flew F-86s in the Korean War. I joined at the age of 25, a tad bit older than most average recruits. Don't ask me why I didn't join sooner, 'cause I don't even know why I joined now.

Well, I've started work on the F-35. Due to the fact that I don't have any blue prints, and that I'm using multiple pictures of the aircraft as references, I can't gurantee 100% accuracy. I can't even gurantee 85% accuracy. This is what I've done so far in 3 - 4 hours worth of work.

Level bombing back in the Vietnam War was done at a low altitude and lot's of skill cause they didn't have CCIP technology back then. Dive bombing was sort of the way to do it. Usually right when you release the bombs, you don't pull up. Instead, I usually level off and break with full burners and actually go NOE (nap of the earth) cause loosing altitude will help in picking up speed. Dump the crap that you don't need (fuel tanks, extra bombs - you shouldn't have any left anyways). Once you get up to 300 knots, you can start pulling up, but not aggressively. Oh, and A/I aircraft don't have much in the way of skill either, so don't expect them to survive in a mission. Not to mention, 105s aren't the most agile aircraft to go head to head with Migs. Another strategic note.... Don't have your entire squadron armed up for a ground attack. It should only be you and your immediate wingman. Have everyone else setup for A/A. They can focus on the Mig activity while you and your wingman take out the primary target(s) (at the same time).

EDIT: Whoops... accidentaly put this under the wrong sim. If an admin can move this to Strike Fighters, I would really appreciate that. Actually, you can just delete this one, cause I'll probably make a new one in Strike Fighters. Thank you.

Thanks bibbolicious for the site. I'll check it out. Hopefully it will be usefull. USAFMTL, in regards to Camp Bullis... MTLs are no longer allowed to visit the camp when their teams are over there. Apparently, an MTL (female) supposedly did something stupid over there. I don't know what the details are, and I don't want to know what they are. All I know is that a lot of things changed when I was there. That always seems to happen whenever I arrive at a place for the first time. They start making major changes to the operations of things. I miss out on all the stuff that people claimed that use to make the place a great place to be. At least I was able to wear my contact lenses throughout training (there are still rules against wearing them, but I was able to get away with it and never had a problem with them either - wasn't much of a risk... I wear the night and dialy lenses, so they're constantly on my eyes, 24/7 for a whole month, and they're low profile - hard to notice them). As far as wpn qualifying, I couldn't get expert on a single weapon. I thought I would definately get it with the M-9, but my hands are too shaky. Don't know what it is. I don't smoke and obviously I didn't drink any caffine products. At least I qualified. Ironically, I hit all the targets with the 249, but they don't give out expert for that.

When I was there, Henley really wasn't an MTL for any teams. He basically was the guy who walked outside for the new arrivals and yelled at them to get off the bus. Oh, such fond memories. Actually, I was on a split training option (don't know why), and I came in a day late for the team that I was supposed to join (Team-13). So I had to sit in the Orderly Room, yelling "Stand-by" whenever an MTL walked in for a whole week until the next team (Team-1) came in. However, Henley kind of liked me right when I showed up, so he didn't have me stand in with the group that arrived for Team-1. Instead, he had me by his side while he yelled at them and then told me to stick around with the SAT-pushers (who I found out later on really weren't the "coolest" guys cause your only a SAT-pusher if you didn't get your orders, which means you did something really stupid in Tech-School and are being investigated). So everyone who got off the bus thought that I was either a graduate or OSI (which became the common thinking later on after I finally joined up with the team). That really didn't bother me, cause I'm 26, and I really didn't want to hang around a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds. Anyways, I'm sure you know Col. Farrel. Don't know if you would know MSgt. Watergates though. Oh, and the tradition of rampant sex, UADs, and illicit drug use are still going on there. You would think that after the amount of time that academy has been in operation, they would have found a way to stop that. What amazes me is how they can't see how easy it is for those kids to get into that stuff and bring it into the dorms. I had a simple solution. Place the folks who are under 21 in seperate dorms from those who are over 21, have each student airman go through a 24 hour checkpoint when entering the squandron grounds to insure that they are not trying to sneak stuff into their dorms, and prohibit the sale of tobacco and alcohol on the base. Good grief, it's a freaken AETC base. You would think that stuff would be strictly regulated. Anyways, I'm a reservist. I actually should have gone ANG. The bonuses are better. My unit is actually undergoing deployment right now to the sandbox. I'm on an alternate list. However, the chances of me going right now are very slim cause most of the guys in our unit want to go. I don't. I can't handle the heat. I suffered over 3 heat injuries at Lackland (and I did hydrate accordingly). Can't imagine that I'll be any better on the other side of the globe.

Roger that. I figured you were an MTL by your name. I guess only military folks would know that. Didn't think you would be an MTL for the 343 though. Were you with TSgt Henley when you were an MTL? Also, did you change your career field, or are you an MTL at another tech-school? Alright, back on topic... So where can I find some decent blue prints of the F-35, the Boeing rival, and the Typhoon? Also, does Zur, Marcfighters, and wpnnsgt have any pics of their WIPs? I know some sites the authors like to post pics of them. Also, I can't texture. My skills are only limited to making the meshes. So.... I hope there might be some folks out there that can lend a hand. Another off-topic question... the F-14A Aggressor file. There's someting wrong with it cause it doesn't have any weapons in the loading menu. I do have the latest weapons pack. I tried copying and pasting the original F-14A load.ini file, but it didn't work. I noticed that all the .ini files were named F-14A, except one, which was F-14AGR, so I tried to rename all the other ones to F-14AGR, and that still didn't work. So is it just a bad file? And I guess I should keep holding my breath for a realistic HUD with CCIP, target acquistion diamonds, and target discrimantor / info. The visual targeting hud currently in the game kind of distracts from the realisim.

Just finishe doing this F-16D in a USAF skin. It was originally in an IAF skin from Team Viper. It also has an actuall F-16 cockpit (also from Team Viper - I think), ECM, and chaff and flares. I don't want to release this without their permission. So if anyone knows how to get a hold of them, or if they see this... I would like to ask for an O.K. first prior to sending this out to the public.

It's a Block 40 "Bratkeet" from Team Viper that I got from acfcentral.com. Heres the link where I got it at... http://www.acfcentral.com/aircraft.htm Thanks for giving me the O.K. to release it. Now where do I send the WinRAR file to? You can also contact me on MSN Messenger. Just use my email address: serverandenforcer@hotmail.com.
