Yes, it's off, becuase one is taking a 2-dimensional image, and trying to fit to a 3_dimensional object. The model's not finished, either. As to whether someone else is taking it on, I'll take a cue from Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), in Apocalypse now: "I am unaware of any such activity, nor, would I be disposed to discuss it, if it in fact, were true"

This started out as a sort of "What If" gag, and well, the results speak for themselves: You be the judge: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2775

Very nice, Marcelo! BTW, check your PMs...

No Buck, it's Wpnssgt's model. Unfortunately, real life issues have put the model on the backburner, for now.

An F-22 in Strike Fighters? Never Happen.... I really hate the AI.....

Reinstall SP4 again.

It'd be nice if we also had 3D finger-piers to place over those fugly painted-on-the terrain tile versions. Oh, and "Worf" is a character from STTNG... You obviously meant "wharf"

Yes. We cannot say this often enough. When in doubt, refer to the knowledge base! http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12164

Did you install the latest DirectX 9.0C? That tells me that you did not.

What burns me, Wrench, is that while we (as virtual pilots) cannot utilize pitch-linked thrust vectoring, the fracking AI can, and does it well! Notice that the buner flames are at the same deflection angle as the stabs in the last image. TK needs to fix this.

I felt honored and privileged to be among those fortunate enough to be assigned to the fleet aviation arm's first Yakovlev 141M squadron. What a beast! It is, in many regards, far superior to NATO's Harrier, and will not be taken lightly by the opposition (as was the Yakovlev 38). While on our first operational cruise, we were tasked with providing support for our Parani allies. As a show of strength and socialist solidarity, we patrolled along the Parani border airspace, daring the imperialists to come within range of our advanced R-73 rockets. They would not come up to play, cowardly dogs that they are...or so we thought. We were on the last leg of our patrol, and our GCI and AWACs Tupolev reported that they had zero contacts on their radars. This was all too easy. Suddenly, comrade Captain Marchenko reported a strange "tingle" on his radar warning gear. It was far too weak to be a radar source, but it came and went at steady intervals, as if someone were probing for us with some strange and clever piece of electronic gear. We reported this to our controller, and were quickly ordered to investigate, as the bearing showed that the source was behind us, in Parani airspace. Just as we completed our turn, I caught the sun glinting off a canopy...and there it was! I stood my aircraft on its tail, pushed the throttles well past the reheat detent, and selected an R-73. What's this? No lock tone! I quickly switched to my other R-73, and it too, failed to lock. Despite the reassuring sound of the seeker head searching for a target, it failed to acquire the target. My wingman Nico, warned me that another of the strange aircraft had positioned itself on my six o'clock, and he too, could not acquire infrared lock tone, nor even see it on his radar, for that matter! Taking a cue from this, I immediately selected my gun, and much to my dismay, the gun radar would not track, either. I was astounded.. My reverie was broken by the air group commander on our ship, who ordered us not to engage. I broke off, and then saw the aircraft that had been sitting behind, pass by my starboard side... What manner of sorcery is this?

Delete the Weapondata.dat file from your weapons folder, and using the weapon editor, create a new one by opening the weapondata.ini (likewise located in the weapons folder), and hitting the save button. This will recreate the weapondata.dat, and should fix your problem.

No, only in their data.inis so the game engine does not locate them radomly, say, in place of a HAWK battery (or, in the near future, a Patriot battery ).

Not really related to "NATO SAMs", but a quick flight over "SAM Island", just to give the hornet's nest there a little kick http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2769

It's Polak's replacement terrain tiles for SF's desert terrain, and Gepard's Israel theatre.

I'll pen up a knowledge base article on how to set up and locate NATO SAM defenses on the WOE Germany CE and SF Desert terrains when I manage to get a bit free time. I have a lot on my plate at present, and I'm just catching up. Wrench, just for the helluvit, try setting the ground object roles of the Nike and its radars as "Nike_Battery", and see if they still appear (and work). Update: Just tried it, and it works fine, Kevin!

An interesting story: I recently flew a sweep mission in WoE's F-15A (to which I've added SF's desert terrain w/Polak's tile set, just for grins and giggles), and encountered a flight of new & improved MiG-29As*. To make a long story short, after an almost 20 minute engagement, I was the only member of my flight left, and found myself out of missiles with two MiGs to deal with. I eventually gunned one down, and went after the other, realizing only after I had it in my sights that I was out of ammo, and counter measures! I disengaged, dove for the deck, and flew the 100 or so miles back to friendly airspace at 600+ knots and below 100 feet AGL. with an angry Fulcrum chasing me. He fired off all his Aphids and Alamos at me, but the combination of my speed and ludicrously low altitude helped spoof them. But he still had his gun. Eventually, I reached the border, where'd I'd located a string of Hawk batteries I owe the crew of "Hawk Battery Charlie" a round of drinks. * PS: I'm not at liberty to discuss the "new & improved" MiG-29A.
