I have recently added the readily available Mirage F1 to WOI only to discover a number of handling issues it would appear as though the FM needs amending to make it more stable in WOI, has anyone come up with a fix for this particular aircraft? Lazboy

I have changed the image size back to its original dimensions and placed it in the menu folder of WOV but when I run the game I only get a black screen on which the hot keys do work but the background image does not appear, any clues as to what I have done wrong? Lazboy mainscreen_template.bmp

Loved your new WOI main screen so thought that I would try and make a new mainscreen for WOV using your template as the existing one is looking somewhat dated unfortunately WOV seems to use a different DLL based menu format any ideas of how I can change it to look similar to the new WOI screen?

When I started reading this thread I wondered how long it would be before the "Brains Trust" came up with a workable solution or managed to reverse engineer the problem, and as ever they haven't let us down!!

Hi Gepard some additional information as to the location of Chinese airbases in the vicinity of Taiwan can be found on the following website if you mouse over the entries on the maps on the website it provides additional information such as the type of aircraft located at each base.There are seperate entries and maps for air force and Naval air force bases: http://www.scramble.nl/cn.htm I have also located a website that shows the location of fixed Chinese SAM emplacements in the vicinty of Taiwan if that would be of use in preparing your terrain.

Indeed it is a vast improvement over the stock screen, change that and the aweful music and we shall have a decent front end that does justice to the game. Lazboy

According to a recent article that I read the first Hawk Battalion was deployed in Israel in March 1965 and that the first kill it acheived was an Israeli Ouragan. lAZBOY

Is there a guide anywhere on getting started in making your own terrain using the terrain editor I have done a search and looked in the Knowledge Base and haven't as yet found any guidance on getting started or utilising the Terrain Editor? Thanks Lazboy

I can confirm that Canadairs solution has also worked for me,no more white water and no more gliches in sight. Lazboy

Hi I am expierencing similar problem with areas of water on land appearing white do we know as yet why this occurrs? See photo below. Stary did you by the way get my PM? Lazboy

Having flown several low level stike missions in a Saudi Tornado deep into Israel in WOI and having only encountered very sporadic AAA I was once again reminded of the lack of NATO anti aircraft models in WOI and WOE compared to those of the former Warsaw Pact and the Arab nations. Is anyone currently working on any new air defence models such as Patriot?

I wouldn't sweat it Craig I can't model anywhere near your level but am good at researchbut by no means an anorak. Th good thing about this community is that it brings together so many people with such diverse skills who then collaberatively produce some fantastic mods. Lazboy

That is the PIRATE Sensor Craig see below: PIRATE Infrared Search and Track Eurofighters starting with Tranche 1 batch 5 will have the PIRATE (Passive Infra-Red Airborne Track Equipment) IRST (Infrared Search and Track System) which will be mounted on the port side of the fuselage, forward of the windscreen. The PIRATE system was developed by the EUROFIRST consortium. Galileo Avionica (FIAR) of Italy is the lead contractor, Thales Optronics of the UK (system technical authority) and Tecnobit of Spain make up EUROFIRST. PIRATE operates in two IR bands, 3-5 and 8-11 microns. When used with the radar in an air-to-air role, it functions as an Infrared Search and Track system (IRST), providing passive target detection and tracking. In an air-to-surface role, it performs target identification and acquisition. It also provides a navigation and landing aid. PIRATE is linked to the pilot’s helmet mounted display.[67] The first Eurofighter Typhoon with PIRATE-IRST was delivered to the Italian Aeronautica Militare in August 2007

Well I certainly never envisaged being able to penetrate Israeli air defences at low level with such ease hit my intended target and return to base unmolested and I was never once painted by Hawks let alone anything as effective as a Patriot only some AAA. Had I flown a similar profile against an arab target it certainly would have been a different matter with tiers of air defences. Does a model of the Patriot exist as yet for use in WOI or WOE? lazboy

I've been flying a Saudi Tornado on a strike mission deep into the herat of Israel and am surprised at just how little AAA or israeli air defences there seem to be outside of the vicinity of airbases, especially at low level, air defence seems to rely of aerial interception. Is this a realistic reflection of actual israeli air defences or a failing of the game? Lazboy

Thats probaly the least she will do you have managed to make a woman happy and that is not something that is generally easy to do.

I know one young lady(Nicky) who is going to be very happy when she sees your pictures! Fantastic work dare we ask whats next on your agenda? Lazboy

If there is also a Harrier in the works I will come around and give you a hand with decorating your bathroom myself! Lazboy

In the downloads section there is a unfinished model of the Mirage 2000 produced by Aleks which apparently has been downloaded 543 times has anyone who has downloaded it as yet managed to get it flyable in WOE as it would be useful to have a Mirage 2000 for use in WOI and the Straits of Formosa terrain, and it is one of the few gaps left in modern service aircraft? Lazboy

Here is the link to the information you require in the Knowledge Base. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=21133 Lazboy

Just to let you know that I have successfully managed to load and run WOI from a 4gb USB stick without any difficulties giving me a fully portable installation which I can now plug into any PC or laptop and then fly with plenty of space left on the stick for addons and additional mods. Lazboy

The UAE Block 60 shows up alright and is flyable in WOI with out any fiddling about but appears as a "Friendly" meaning I can only ever fly it against Arab aircraft not against Israeli aircraft what do I need to change to get it reconised as an Arab aircraft? Lazboy

Do we have available anywhere Egyptian or Jordanian F-16 skins as I am trying to add to WOI some more modern Arab aircraft, I have already loaded in the UAE Block 50 F-16? Also what do I need to change to get the UAE F-16 to be selectable as an Arab aircraft flying against Israeli aircraft at the moment by default it is always up against migs? Lazboy

I wouldn't expect to see any dramatic overnight changes from what I have read Raul is everybit as hardline as Castro used to be and will not be keen to relenquish his hold on the reins and chance to occupy the big chair, but who knows stranger things have happened in eastern europe and elsewhere.
