If the Dems had someone like John Kennedy running for President, I'd definitely vote for him.

What are your system specs? Have you made any and all necessary software updates?

I've experienced a slow-roll issue with some third-party A/C right from the mission outset, i.e. on takeoff, with a symmetrical load. Stock A/C have never given me any problem. Damned if I know why.

Thanks, MK2.

Gday,

Great work with this step by step guide, its great. I followed all the steps, including changing the TGA's to BMP, but I cant get any WATER tiles to show. It all comes up as a grass/road texture. I have checked and the height data is good etc. Any suggestions??

 

Many thanks

When I made motile water textures, water tiles, and tiles with a mix of water and land, had to be saved as .tga files for the water effects to show up in the game. Because of transparency issues, .bmp files were used only for terrain files with no water textures in them.

Wow, that absolutely rocks. Color values and transparency levels are dead-on.

This sounds like a question Lexx Luthor could answer.

Look in the 'Knowledge Base' -- JUST KIDDING!

OK, just to clarify and summarize...WoV runs OK for you in WinXP, and now you're trying to get it to run in Win98?

What are your system specifications?

Which do you think is the best subsitute for it? MiG-21 MF's one?... I feel the fitter's one is too simple, if not empty for it, and the mach counter reaches 1.0 only...

Can't help you with substitutes; I guess it's just a matter of taste which pit you select.

So far as I know, no one has released a dedicated cockpit for the MiG-23.

Well, I have both cockpits installed, and while I can't say anything about snap view, going outside either cockpit and hitting F1 always brings me back to my default, forward, interior view. Could there be something amiss with your joystick drivers?

I'm not using any device-specific mapping software with my stuff, btw, just the WoE device mapper.

Tristan, sorry to have forgotten you (especially since I still use your desert tiles for some installs), but I don't have it around and you apparently pulled it out of CA.

No need to apologize . Since I'm now using the tiles exclusively for my own consumption I didn't expect my stuff to be included in the list.

Well, for the He-111, the best bet is probably a head-on pass, firing straight into the cockpit. The real He-111 was heavily armored; the vulnerable spot was the fish-tank on the front of the plane.

"Ace Pilot's F-4 is here. The Dhimari pilot's MiG-21 is here. The high-resolution skin on Ace's F-4 Phantom is making the twin-engined fighter highly visible in the clear Dhimari sky . With all game performance parameters set on 'hard', Ace is forced to duke it out with the MiG..."

I do not think anyone is. The MF is making an updated one for WOI and a new one for WOE. New LGB's, JDAM's etc etc.

Sounds excellent.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

I should have said "new weps and mods."

New weps are released too quickly for the guys making the WPs to keep up. It's only after a ton of individual wep updates that it becomes worthwhile to construct and release a new WP.

I ended up doing weapon-by-weapon updates because I couldn't get simple overwrites to work for me. I used the MFWP as a starting point and then added other weapons one at a time.

Good luck.

The Thirdwire series seems to like Nvidia drivers and hardware better than any other graphics combination. For quite a while I couldn't turn on aircraft shadows because the drivers I was using with my Radeon card just wouldn't do shadows correctly. ATI finally straightened out whatever was causing the problem, but it took a long effing time.

Looks like I'm on my own for this one....

 

The problem also happens to the "cloud layer bottom" textures (or whatever they're called) when you get close to the bottom of the cloud layer in overcast weather...

Yikes. I've never had anything that looked that bad. For me there has always been just a flash of triangular stuff at the edge of the screen, then nothing after settling into forward view.

I get the effect occasionally, but it depends on what plane I'm flying. You might turn off canopy reflections and see if that takes care of the problem.

If anyone has some useful tips on making the KB easier to use, please submit them! We're open to improvements that will help.

It's fine they way it is, so far as I'm concerned.
