Always nice to see a man in uniform I'm not military so I have none... Good photo's though guys, well done to you all. Keep up the good work.

mmm...you could try hopping onto the next relativistic starship that comes along. Get up to .9c and time will pass pretty slowly for you...however, there might not be anyone still around on this board by the time you get back. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Wow...TSR2 ! Way ahead of it's time...the best strike aircraft the RAF never had. Anyone got a time machine handy and I'll go back and teach that Labour Govt of the time a lesson they won't forget in a hurry...

Why does it seem to go a bit quiet when the Y-word is used here at CA ? Is there a bit of "history" going on...oooh I do love a scandal!

Cheers Tank, I missed that mod ! Will d\l it now.

What I find most annoying is hearing all the SAM calls from other flights, often many miles away. Sick of hitting R and finding that threat isn't such a threat after all, especially when it's just distracted you from a big fat juicy target.

Shame on you Hals...it's never grim when I'm around! This eel thingy has got me completely baffled...and I just hate not knowing!

Yep...those American's sure do have a thing about putting numerals behind names, aircraft, people... To be fair though, I don't think anyone thinks of an A7, say as a Corsair II, etc. Must just be for official purposes.

What's the fixation with eels on this board ? Do you mean real eels, or torpedoes, or what? Hmmm...also, if it's real eels are these freshwater, saltwater or blind eels?

Sorry Corktip...did not mean to offend I was refering to the beaurocratic issues involved, not the wonderful city and people of Brussells. Besides, you Belgies make the world's best chocolate !

That sure is one beautiful aircraft you've done there Craig... ...one minor gripe though, the name. Can we please call it the Typhoon on release, "Eurofighter" is soooo Brussells ! :yu: Seriously though, superb work.

I was browsing IMDB for aviation related films and I came across a French series from the 1960's called the Aeronauts (Les Chevaliers du ciel). Seemed quite interesting. Has anyone seen any of it, from what I can gather it featured Mirages.

Ahh...Phantom Schmantom ! When you've seen one you've seen em all...you boyz sure got way too much time on your hands.

Tank03, this also helped my performance too. Although it's still down to processor power in the end...I tend to stay away from Hanoi and other SAM hotspots and the game runs as smooth as...a smooth thing !

I do it this way, a vanilla copy of SFP Gold, WoV & WoE on my HD. I've also copied these installs to DVD as a back-up. I have a WoV YAP install, a WoE Nato Fighters install and a SF Korea install. Keeps me out of trouble...

Buccaneer S2.B XV168 is the gate guardian at BAE Brough just up the road from where I live. I often pass "168" and wish I'd seen her in her heyday. If a Bucc' appears for WoE I hope someone can do an XV168 skin and then I'll finally get my chance to fly her...so to speak. Apart from the good old Skyraider the Buccaneer is probably my favourite plane as I regard it as a local bird, a Yorkshire aircraft. The Hawk too, is Yorkshire born & bred.

Corsair's are a bit like my Dad, short and fat, not as fast as they'd like to be but totally dependable and capable of flattening most targets!...

Viggen is right...the early Sparrow's were pretty poor. Less than a fifty-fifty chance of a kill I believe due to unreliability...though I stand to be corrected.

Thank you !!!! Much appreciated.

I too would like these but it seems to be a bit of a hushed-up secret apparently... until they appear what I did after reading some of the topics on this site was to set ground objects to "high" then edit the VietnamSEA data.ini and included the trees into certain tiles. Can't remember offhand which ones but it took ages ! Still it doesn't look bad (not as good as those Dueces screenshots) plenty of trees low down and no FPS impact. I'd post a screenie but I don't know how... Better than nowt !

Is there a hi-rez version of the default WOV terrain available? Can't seem to find one. Flying low down it just seems a bit bland that's all. I do only have settings at medium due to my pc but would like to try and improve things a little. I'm fairly new to the Thirdwire series but I've been an aviation nut for ages and am still getting used to WOV and FE.

I'd be perfectly happy with smaller planning map icons...you know...that don't take over half the bleedin' map !

Hey I like that A6 ! Are the names a decal or just painted on the skin ?

That's an interesting shot. What causes the centre of the HUD image to be magnified ? I've never seen that effect before !

I'll check these out...thanks.
