MK2

Hi guys Trying to get the older campaigns up to snuff and it seems I hit a wall with the weapons pack. Which one was the latest? I do not see any at combatace for downloads. How do we get planes like the F-14 to have a proper loadout etc. I have one from 3 July 2006

Wrench GOT IT! worked great. you guys are saving me days of work. Thanks for the tip Fubar. I know search engine is my friend and I will try to leave you guys alone for the time being.

Dave, Silverbolt, worked like a charm. I suppose that just including the three weapondata.ini files (regular, modern and vietnam) in the install update should do the trick right? I'm getting some wierdness now with the controls. As an exmaple if I hit the "B" key for the breaks nothing occurs or if I hit the "A" button for auto pilot it cycles the nav lights. This is even after the keys have been properly assigned and accepted in the controls section and my X52 and keyboard work perfectly. I have never seen that one before.

Nothing showing up. I have to remember how to run it through the latest wep editor.

Thanks look slike the latest wep pack (MF) is not working in WOV with the October 2008 patch. Has anyone had any luck with getting the F-14 (for example) to show up with the right weapons? etc

The MF? can you provide a link? sorry I am slow this morning and can't find it.

I am almost done updating it for the October patch.

Hi everybody! I know I have been away for a while but it is just a reflection of the time I have and the games I play sometimes (currently finishing fall out 3 and starting left 4 dead...two apocalyptic games just by chance ..) . A special hello to Erik, Fates and Dave! Three old friends. I would really like to update the campaigns I slaved over , mainly Vietnam 1984, Iran Iraq and my personal favorite Aces of North Vietnam. I updated Vietnam 1984 and Iran Iraq for patches: SP051506a and P083006. I was holding out for Aces of North Vietnam but now realize that Thirdwire's latest patch has come out. Some quick questions and I apologize for not using the search engine both here and at simhq before I ask. Does the latest patch break old campaigns but specifically ones already updated for SP051506a and P083006.? Is anyone working on updates that I may collaborate with? What breaks if anyone knows? (this could save me days...) I thank you in advance for the answers!

Great news! Quick question, did you do a fresh install all patched up and THEN added vietnan 1984 or did you have your 1984 and then added patch over it?

North Vietnam has taken the opportunity, of the prolonged cease fire, to build up its ground and air forces. The Soviet Union has recently taken an active role in mobilizing fighter regiments for the VPAF and the potential of the Soviet union adding actual ground troops to the area is now a reality. The uneasy temporary peace comes to an end. The Reagan administration Withdraws the United States from the decade long diplomatic process. On December 18th 1984 the coalition starts a 2 week air offensive against North Vietnamese targets. To install the mod simply place the folders that are inside the zip file in your WOV directory and say yes to overwrite the files. This Vietnam 1984 campaign mod requires a separate install of WOV.

Ok I will get into the swing of things here...I like mine medium rare.

Ok I think we need some balance here ! LOL! (yes I love MiGs).

That was very well done

It's an update to the original that took over a hundred of hours of my time :yes: I did not want to see it go to waste because of a quick update. If you have never played it , you should. One of the best campaign mods ever created (not just my work but many others work etc.)

LOL! hardly.... I can count the people on one hand that have contributed more than you with these sims. not many....

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...ode=sst&id=5290 File Name: Iran Iraq War Quick UpdateFile Submitter: MK2 File Submitted: 22 Sep 2007 File Category: Missions/Campaigns This updates the Iran Iraq campaign for SF1 to the latest patches: SP051506a and P083006. Both patches can be found at the Thirdwire site www.thirdwire.com simply place into your fully patched and installed Iran Iraq folder. If you do not have the Iran Iraq War all inclusive mod installed: 1. You must have a seperate SF1 installation for this campaign. 2. Make sure you patch the SF1 install to the latest released patches mentioned above. 3. Then install the all inclusive Iran Iraq campaign (102 MB file) found at www.combatace.com ( follow installation instructions carefully including the seperate F-14a(IAF) and MIg-25PD install) 4. Install the latest weapons pack. 5. Then install this quick update. Enjoy! MK2 I include the original Iran Iraq War read me file below: This campaign is based on the Iran Iraq war that lasted from 1980-1988. It includes New terrain,, Persian music, photos, new screens, new sound files, new planes, new skins, and campaign files, heavily researched air units for Iran Iraq, historical air bases and locations. This needs to be a separate install. STEP 1 Please make sure your sf1 game installation follows this path (or the medals will not work): C:\IranIraq\Strike Fighters\Flight etc. OR You may go into the MedalsIRAQ.ini AND MedalIran.ini files (located in the "flight" folder of this zip) and change the path if you so desire (AS AN Example ADDING d:\ drive instead of C:\ ). STEP 2 Please install the contents of the folders to their respective locations (not the folders themselves but what is located inside). STEP 3 You must have the following additional planes(and weapons pack) installed. Mig-25PD F-14a(iaf) Latest Weapons pack (can be found at www.combatace.com) There is also an optional skin pack that adds even more skins to the Iraqi side created by Phamtuan called : Phamtuan_Skinpack_Iraq that can be used to enhance the game. it may be found at wwww.combatace.com Step 4 Go to the terrain folder in your SF1 directory. Locate the desert folder. Locate the Desert cat file. Copy file over into the IR folder located in the terrain folder (if you followed the instructions outlined above). Rename the Desert cat file in your IR folder from : Desert to : IR IMPORTANT NOTES***** #1 There is a known issue while flying from some of the bases that will occur when there is a heavily overcast day with low cloud cover. You will not see the runway due to the clouds, your plane will be positioned above them on the runway. You may take off as normal and it does not affect game play. This is a visual glitch probably due to the terrain elevations and it is relatively rare. #2 In order to properly simulate a protracted ground war (after all this war ended in a stalemate after 8 years!) we have frozen the ground offensives and they will not start for approximately 9 months of game time. If you play the entire campaign through, it will start before the campaign ends. This method is probably more historical. If you would like to change this setting, it is very easy to do. You need to open the IranIraq_data.ini file and find the following file: StartGroundOffensive=270 For both Force 1 (Iran) and Force 2 (Iraq) you may then change the value. Be warned that changing these settings may result in strange results (the war ending after several months as an example).
