Piecemeal

Got it. The three (or one of the) AIRFIELD3_LOD files must have been corrupted in some fashion. I extracted the stock ones from the Desert.CAT file and replaced the ones in the Desert folder. Problem solved. Thanks for your help lads

Bear with me one moment, bud. I've discovered that it's the 'DESERT_AIRFIELD3' type airfield, which I'm presuming is the 'Airfield 3' lod files. I've double checked the terrain folder and cross checked it with the contents of the Desert.CAT file. All the files are where they should be, just no runway. WTF?!!!!

On the subject of terrains, wouldn't the Madagascar tiles make a great tapestry for Spain?

Wasn't Spain an Islamic stronghold during the Middle Ages? I was watching a documentary recently about that on YouTube. If you could create a mad enough dictatorship in north west Africa you could surely put together an invasion scenario (similar to Galtieri invading the 'Islas Malvinas'|). Reclaiming what was once a land of Islam, in a sense turning it into a Holy War - Islamic vs. Chrisitian. I suppose you could throw in a token squadron of Israeli F-15s/F-16s, who'd only be too glad to get any excuse to kick some arab arse. Just a thought

Veeeeeery tasty :yes: . I'm off now for a second helping

The British justice system is fairly sound. The laws are there. The only problem is the judiciary. A frightening amount of them are either too f**king bored or too drunk to listen to the goings on of the 'commoners'. Either that or they're too busy dreaming about what kind of lingerie their mistress will be wearing tonight. Over at my end of the Irish Sea the whole system is a TOTAL F**KING JOKE. And that applies to the whole system here - the law; the justice system AND the judiciary. To give you a perfect example, there was a girl I went to school with years ago was raped IN HER OWN HOUSE by a guy, who after being given a suspended sentence, travelled back from Dublin ON THE SAME TRAIN as her! Then, when the train stopped at their destination he spat on her on the platform. It makes you wonder sometimes if solutions like these are the answer:

I was doing a bit of research on aggressor squadrons for an 80s campaign for SF2 when I came across this rather interesting footage from the bygone 80s: http://www.realmilitaryflix.com/public/839.cfm I might actually add this site to my 'Favourites' list. It's always good to have something interesting like this to watch when your Missus has the TV hijacked at dinnertime :yes:

Of course there's always 'West Wars'.....

The eagle has landed. OUTSTANDING work fellas :yes:

Roooollin'.........Roooollin'.........keep those downloads roooollin'..........

Does anyone know of a good website where I can check out cutaway illustrations of military aircraft?

Will check that out bud

Swattin' flies

I used to work night shift security at reception in a call centre about four years ago. I was outside at one stage getting some fresh air and eating a packet of potato crisps (potato chips in the US) and this young fellow thought he was in with a chance of receiving some, so in all his youthful wisdom decided to follow me back in to reception, little knowing that the door behind him had a security lock We had a digital camera in a drawer at the security desk for taking photos on staff IDs so I wasted no time in getting it out and taking a few snapshots. He was quite playful actually and wasn't the least bit aggressive. I must say it was a great experience to encounter this beautiful animal.

While the ball's rolling; who can caption this shot I took at work some years ago

I'll second that. Bring that mod on guys

So I've pinpointed my problem with WOE crashing to my edited SquadronList.ini. Some may recall my post some days ago where WOE crashed when I clicked the 'loadout' tab in the aircraft menu whenever I tried to play in Single Mission mode with ANY aircraft. Yes, I can hear you all saying that I should check the squadronlist.ini to see if the squadron numbers are all in the right order, but I've already done that - countless times. And yes, I've already placed the edited squadronlist.ini in the Wings Over Europe/PilotData folder. I wanted to add the non-stock squadrons in Red Swarm, which I did without any problems and flew aircraft in single misisons without any problems. But the next day, when I start the game and go to fly a single mission with ANY aircraft - the game just goes keels over and dies on me. Windows also tells me that the game has stopped working. It also tells me that it's the SingleMission.DLL file. So if anybody could help me out here I'd REEEALLY appreciate it. I've spent the last two days trying to sort this problem out and I feel as if I'm just banging my head off a wall.

Thanks but no thanks. I've done that twice already. I'm thinking I might just grit my teeth and put up with the default ini squadrons :yes: . This issue has taken up enough of my time over the past three days Maybe waiting for the not so soon upcoming 'Strike Fighters: Europe' will be worth the wait Thanks again for your help

I wish I could get to the bottom of this. Things are ok when I delete the edited SQUADRONLIST.INI. I've done this loads of times before and nothing like this has happened. I'm certainly not re-installing WOE again unless I ABSOLUTELY have to. Maybe it's a problem with the SingleMission.DLL that Windows keeps telling me is the problem ............

Negative bro. I was just thinking while looking through things; would it be because of the way I've got certain 'out of the usual' squadrons entered? Here's some examples: [squadron294] Name=1BAF DisplayName=No. 1 Squadron Thistle Nation=Belgium [squadron295] Name=2BAF DisplayName=No. 2 Squadron Shooting Star Nation=Belgium [squadron296] Name=349BAF DisplayName=No. 349 Squadron Goedendag Nation=Belgium [squadron297] Name=409RCAF DisplayName=409 Squadron RCAF Nation=Canada [squadron298] Name=425RCAF DisplayName=425 Squadron RCAF Nation=Canada

Been there, done it, got the t-shirt my friend. As you were saying I was adding one thing at a time. The strange thing was when I added squadrons to the list first there were no problems at all and the changes were recognised and accepted (that was done yesterday). The problem started when I turned my pc off last night and went to use WOE today. I can't use any aircraft at all in single missions. The only way I can solve this problem, albeit losing my added squadrons, is to delete the edited SQUADRONLIST.INI so that the gane will automatically use the default ini in the MissionData.CAT file. Also, I made no other changes/additions to the Wings Over Europe/Flight folder. Maybe I've found a bug in the Oct'08b patch

I had to re-install WOE yesterday and for some strange reason the guns on all my Mirage F.1s don't work. I've double checked the data.inis and they all appear to be in order. They also work without any problems in SFG and WOI. Anyone know of a fix for this problem? BTW, all my installs are fully patched up to Oct 08 (b patch)

Ooops. There's always something you forget to re-install, eh?! :blush2:

He Finally Made It!!....

SF2 is (in my opinion) a big improvement over SFP1/SFG. It'll be worth the wait when the new patches are released. I'll also log on to the ThirdWire forum and try and inform TK of this. And for those who've shown interest in this project; as I said in a previous message here ...... Watch This Space Folks :yes:
