I think it was just in the last week or so... I have no idea what it means.

Never mind. I found an old post about it. I guess there was never an effect in there to begin with.

Maybe one of the resident experts can help me out with this next part... I used the .cat extractor to look for for the original Gau8FireEffect, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I couldn't find any effects for that matter, other than what's already there in the effects folder. In addition, the 30mmFireEffect that I'm referencing now isn't in the effects folder either, but it still works. So I guess my question is where does the game get effects from if they aren't in the effects folder? If I knew this, I could do a fresh install of WOE and hunt down the Gau8 effect, and hopefully figure out where it went and get it back.

Thanks. All the other 30mm guns use an effect called 30mmFireEffect. The GAU8 called out GAU8FireEffect. So I just ended up changing the effect for the GAU8 to the 30mmFireEffect. Looks about right. Although, I still have no idea why the effect dissapeared all of a sudden... ?

I have several aircraft that have 2010 or something similar as the service end date, however, I can't create a single mission that starts after 1985. That's as far as the drop down will go for any aircraft, and some aircraft utilize weapons that were not available until after 1985 (Sky Shadow for Tornado for example). I know I could just adjust the start date for the weapon, but I'd rather just be able to fly missions up into the early 90's. I looked through the acraft ini's and the terrain ini's looking for dates that may need to be adjusted, but I couldn't find anything other than the aircraft service start and end date... and those were already ranging up to 2010. What am I missing? Thanks. By the way, I'm flying merged WOE/WOV. I have the isreal DES terrain added too. That all are limited to 1985.

Sorry I did not see that in the knowledgebase. Thanks for your help!

Wrench, I sent you some PM's to follow up on my questions about weapons pack installation. Did you ever receive them? I think I may have been having problems with my PM's...

Check out this thread... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=24718

I was just curious if anyone had already posted somewhere a list of all the squadrons available in the different campaigns for the two games, which aircraft they fly, and where they're stationed. I find it annoying to have to "start" a campaign just to find out which aircraft I'll be flying and where I'm stationed. I think the first time I wanted to start an A-10 campaign, I had to "start" about 9 campaigns before I found one. If no one has done this yet, I'll extract the campaign files, put together the list, and post it here...

So appearently someone already did it: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3416

I was messing around with Razbam's AD-4 trying to see if I could set it up so that every time I loaded that A/C in a WOV single mission, it would fly off a carrier. I changed nation name from USAF to USN, and double checked that carrier based was set at true. When I loaded up a single mission, though, I was still on land. I then loaded a single mission with the f-4J, which is already a navy aircraft and is flown off of the carrier in the campaign, but I got the same result. Started off from an airbase on land. After I thought about it, I don't remember ever starting on a carrier in randomly generated single missions. So my questions are: Can you start on carriers in the randomly generated single missions? and Is there a way to specify that a specific aircraft will always start on a carrier? Thanks!

Alright, thanks!

I apologize... I was a little fired up...

Not to jump the gun, but I'm going to start with one of what will definitely be my biggest dissapointments of 2008: My "repaired" 360 died this AM. Did not even have it back for a week. :fuk: you microsoft!

Of course they're selling them, and not giving them out to people who have already paid $300 for their fine product...

The razbam skyraiders are pretty fun. www.razbam.org then check the A/C download section for updated data files.

Not as far back as some, but further back than others... SkyChase on a Tandy 1000 http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/skychase...ameCoverId,967/ Hornet 2.0 Hornet 2.0 Korea CFS Hornet 3.0 CFS2 IL-2 F4AF WOE/WOV

Mine lasted from August till new year's. I just got it back (1 month and several frustrating phones calls later). So far not really sure it was worth the money I spent on it...

Granted I've never played GR on a PC (only xbox) but I'll agree that the reason I played the crap out of the orginal GR on xbox was the tractical side of it and the ability to play the same level over and over again in a completely different way. The new GR and Rainbow 6 games totally leave out the tactical/planning portion of the game. Boo...

Just so I'm clear - The weapons pack adds updated loadout and data .ini's when you install. The changes in the Knowledgebase need to be made in addition to the changes contained in .ini's that come with the weapons pack?

If I don't plan on flying any "red" planes, do the loadouts still need to be updated after weapons pack installation for the AI to loadout correctly?

Regarding targeting in Hard settings, I play with all the realism settings on hard except for visual targeting and HUD. I leave these on medium, and I think that's fair given the lack of complex targeting/navigational equipment and the fact that were limited to what we can see by our monitor resolution. Bridges and buildings can be visually targeted if they are the primary target for the mission. I think that's the only way to do it. Someon correct me if I'm wrong...

It's not the log I'm worried about, it's the time it takes to start and stop campaigns to find one for a certain plane, and then repeating it the next day when I want to fly a different plane or from a different base. I think it would take only as long to make the list as it would to look through all the squadrons in a campaign once, so it would be worth it.

Loaded out my skyraider as shown below and the plane was pretty much uncontrolable due to the tendency to roll right. Other than editing the fuel tank so it weighs the same as the gun pod, or vice a versa, does anyone have any good ideas on how to get around this?

Does anyone know if these tiles work in WOE? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...mp;showfile=392 If so, do they cause a drop in frame rates? If they don't work, are there any good tiles for WOE out there (other than the payware ones) Thanks!
