I'm currently building a Mongram 1/48th scale model of this beauty, my favourite airplane. Thuds over Vietnam or Good Morning Vietnam

I have been experimenting with min base clouds etc for 4 days. I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter what settings you change reference the clouds, I think its something else. I have none of these problems with the WOV version of this great mod, so back to WOV it is for me. Here is a pic showing it at its worst and for me its unplayable:

Yeah, thanks.

IL28 facing retribution: Retribution confirmed: Damn, the pilot bailed: Meanwhile..........Devil 505 was feet dry.........sam city, here we come: Over in Europe....Germany was in the grip of winter....but F15's were patrolling:

I think its fantastic. Great work.

Hi Eric, Found some more anomalies. Here is a picture of the F5 Tandem tiger's cockpit. And is their a fix for the clouds and tree problem yet? Many thanks and keep up the good work. Dogzero1 out.

I just made these pictures up to wish you all a Merry belated christmas and a happy new year.

This is my current favourite screenshot that I use for my desktop, I think it captures the weather in Nam and the colours:

I had a problem with my mods folder not being created too. Go to the options.ini and look for the mods entry and add \mods at the end like the example below: [Mods] ModsEnabled=TRUE Directory=C:\Users\Administrator\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam\mods ps, your saved game directory should also have the name Thirdwire, not thirdcable.

Thanks Eric. I appreciate your work. It worked a treat. I do sense your frustration. But I am grateful to you and all the other modders. Thank you. Right, I'm off to start Linebacker 2. I have Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack playing in the background, got a beer next to my joystick. Lets kick some VC ass. Dogzero1................out.

Thanks Eric for the decals RAR file. That solved the missing tails on all. I still have the problem of the boom in the cockpit. But it is in the A6 and A6B intruders only. It affects none of the aircraft using the same Cockpit folder from the FOTI download like the eb-66 or ka-6d etc. In fact, I decided to have the complete FOTI intruder in objects folder and even that has a correct cockpit. I have also tried the altered ini file that was posted earleir in the thread with no joy. What next Eric? I am at a loss as to why just the cockpits are corrupted on two aircraft only. regards Dogzero1

I would just like to point out that this mod is the best and I will carry on with it with my WOV sim. But try as I might, I cant get it to work well in SFV2.

Thanks Eric pm on its way.

Not for me. Internet explorer says this site is unavailable.

Thanks Eric, thanks all but I give up now. Having spent the best part of 12 hours over the last couple of days trying to get this mod to work I have failed. I have followed all your instruction to the letter about 6 times. I started with a clean install od SF2V december 24 download already patched(stand alone) and then got it to create a mod folder after playing the game. I then extracted all four parts of the A&G vers 2 mod to a temp folder. I then transferred all the "to mod folder" files to my new mods folder. I then dowloaded the A6 FOTI plane and did as you instructed, copied the cockpit folder to the relevent A6's etc as decribed in the A&G VERS 2 README File. I tried the game, still no luck, I still have missing tails on some A6's, the refuelling boom stuck in the cockpit of the A6 + A6B intruder. I also have missing tails on the A7's. I then tranferred the Tiles update (A&G VERS 2) to the temp folder and copied this to my mods folder. Again, no change. Just what the eck am I doing wrong? I even tried those decal ini's you posted about. I wish I had not purchased SF2 V now as I have no problems running WOV at the highest detail levels on my Vista 32 setup. I am going back to this excellent mod on my WOV installation now. No problems with that and I can still fly my FOTI A6 with joy. Keep up the good work Eric.

Thanks for these, but it wont let me download. Is their a problem with the download? Dogzero1

Thanks for your help, but confused over this: From the tiles update readme: 5. Copy the \Cockpit folder from the \Objects\Aircraft\A-6A directory in your SF2V Mod Folder to the following newly installed directories in your SF2V Mod Folder: \Objects\Aircraft\EB-66C \Objects\Aircraft\KA-6D \Objects\Aircraft\RB-66C But I open the objects\aircraft\a-6a folder and there is no cockpit folder, just a cockpit ini inside.

You honestly dont know how much persuasion it took to get my wife to pose for this.

Its such a shame. There are so many bad people in this world but nice people die.

Hi all, a few years ago when I first purchased the box version of Wings Over Vietnam, I think I posted on simhq about this. I wanted to play some Vietnam era music whilst on my way to a suspected truck park in North Vietnam in my A6 Intruder. So I changed the following files in the speech folder: T1sinp001.wav, T1sinp002.wav and T1sinp003.wav. I replaced them with Ride of the Valkerie, Paint it Black and Long Tall Sally. (obviously my own purchased mp3's) and converted them to Wavs with the three file names above. So now, when flying along on CAP or Armed Recon, I just press tab, then 7 to communicate with control and then ask for mission status and hey ho, one of the tracks plays instead of the normal voice telling me my mission is still in progress (which I dont need anyways). Hope anybody new to the WO series might find this usefull. ps, anyone know how to access the speech folder in the new releases? I have just purchased Strike Fighters 2 Isreal and notice the folders are not like the older versions. ps,ps I actually prefer my original Wings over Israel as I dont really see much of a graphics difference with the new one and there is no Force Feedback on the new version either.

Hi This is a quick question the the administrators. I have read the rules and read about the download restraints, but at the moment I am only allowed to download one file per day. Is this right? I just tried to download SF2V air and ground wars expansion pack 4 after doing part 3 and its not letting me. Is their a cap on download size? Thanks and merry xmas. Dogzero1 out.

This another from my latest campaign in South Vietnam. Providing Close Air Support. I love this picture, it captures the atmosphere really well for me with the cloud cover and the very high humidity .

You are welcome. I really enjoy listening to Ride of the Valkerie whilst on my run in. It adds a new dimension to the sim. I might also add a track to the same command for when the mission is complete, I thought Surfin Bird would do nicely.

Here are a couple of my favourite screenshots that I kept for posterity. They are from my first Rolling Thunder campaign.
