  1. I think TK knew his target audience well. Whilst there will be quite a few new players for WoI, most peeps are pretty well intimate with the Wings Over series I think.

  2. Birthday

    Syrinx replied to Syrinx's topic in The Pub

    Aww, don't feel left out Viggy. Tell you what, I'll make a nice cup of tea, get a fancy bun and stick five candles in it. One each for the twins, one for you and one each for the other two yesterday. Happy birthdays all round !

  3. How Was Your Day....

    Syrinx replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    It's really sad. It's the bairns I feel for. They didn't deserve that. Really sad.
  4. Take off, ingress, do the biz, egress, victory roll over the airfield. Land, taxi to hangar, switch off engine (woohoo) get out. Quick shower, do my hair, choose shoes...bite to eat. Then off to work (wish I could alt+n this part).
  5. Hey Stick, If you change the image to a jpeg it will show up and won't need to be opened like a download file.
  6. Yep, if all these little extra's we are getting in WoI are included in the new patches (cough cough) for WoV\WoE then the bar will certainly have been raised ! Oh, pardon my ignorance...but are the aircraft with the all-green roundels Iraqi or Libyan ??
  7. That's what I did and it wouldn't have it. Never mind.
  8. Anyone managed to get their canopy animations to work? I've tried as per the KB, no joy... Lets not turn this into a Vista v XP discussion either, cheers.
  9. I like it that it's harder to get a missile kill. Makes you think that bit more to line up the killer shot, in the envelope as you say. I enjoy using the guns though, I'm pretty good at judging deflection and leading a target and find it easier that way than right on someones six.
  10. Please don't include the screenies when you post a quote guys. Thanks :yes:
  11. Well, I flew a recce mission in an A4 (in single mission mode) and no sooner had I got wheels and flaps up after taking off my wingie calls "bandits, he's right behind you". A Syrian Mig 21 was coming up behind me, I have never experienced this surprise attack in any of the other Wings Over series. Maybe that's what the above line in the file does ??
  12. There does seem to be an awful lot of forward redundancy built into WOI. Good !
  13. One thing I have noticed in WOI, the AI seem to fight more in the vertical than in the others. Was dogfighting a Mig23 in an F16 and that AI pilot went vertical...impressed me no end! Got him in the end, but boy, the best and most challenging dogfight I've ever done (Im usually a ground-pounder and tend to avoid a fight).

  14. Errant Satellite

    Syrinx replied to super61's topic in The Pub

    "They" are saying it was a highly modified system, custom built for this job. Then they would say that...wouldn't they. (this according to a USN spokesman on Sky News). Still, good stuff !

  15. Wings over...

    Syrinx replied to Syrinx's topic in The Pub

    Oooh...luv you too Sparky

  16. Babylon 5

    Syrinx posted a topic in Sci-Fi Simulations

    Anyone know if the Babylon 5 add-on for Freespace ia available anywhere. Used to be on one of Volition's websites but I can't find it. I loved that show, would be nice to try out a Starfury.

  17. Holy crap! Castro quit!

    Syrinx replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in The Pub

    It's Castro's shell-suit suppliers I feel sorry for, they'll be out of business when he shuffles off to that big tobacco leaf in the sky.
  18. DL'ing now...will try it out tomorrow after work.
  19. I get the feeling that WOI is going to be a little bit special Luuurve that terrain.
  20. I'd have put a few cannon rounds through the windows, just for good measure, anyway...

  21. Bad Day!

    Syrinx replied to HrntFixr's topic in The Pub

    Hmm...dodgy .ini file methinks.

  22. Who is actual aircrew?

    Syrinx replied to Bongodriver's topic in The Pub

    Speak for yourself Canadair ! I know that my Yorkshire accent has never been described as sweet...you know that feeling when you hear yourself recorded...like, OMG do I really sound like that ! I must admit though, after hearing female aircrew on an airband scanner they do sound quite unruffled and "in control" ! Not that the guys aren't of course...

  23. Who is actual aircrew?

    Syrinx replied to Bongodriver's topic in The Pub

    Can't afford it yet Craig, not on my wages ! I'm just scraping by nicely even holding down two jobs...one day, ah one day. Need to find me a rich idio...I mean guy !
  24. Wow yeah, Footfall ! Micheal versus the Digit ships, Fithp warriors paragliding into Kansas...FC you're right, that would be awesome! One of my favourite books.

  25. Who is actual aircrew?

    Syrinx replied to Bongodriver's topic in The Pub

    The nearest I've got is row 11, seat A on Boeing 737-800
