Piecemeal

A thought has just occured to me in the last few seconds. Does anybody know where I can find a different chute model apart from the 'orange and white' model on the Su-15? It's be nice to have a different chute model to work with if I'm going to try it on other models

Just tried it out again with your instructions. Works perfectly. What I might do now is take a look at the Su-15_DATA.ini file and see if or what I can do to apply those to other aircraft. I hate being beaten on anything like this :angry2:

Thanks for the info bud. Will try it out ASAP. Do you think if I made some changes to the F-105 and F-4 I coud do the same?

I've been trying to create a bit of variety in my gun sounds, of which the default sounds are a bit limp to say the least. Lately I went nosing in the new Falklands War mod sound files and found a whole Aladdin's cave of .wav sounds for the Soviet NR-30, Gsh-23/301, 20mm Mk13 for the A-4 Skyhawk; the list goes on.... So here I am rubbing my paws at the thought of a more interesting sound scheme in my dogfights (think of Homer Simpson: Mmmmmmmm....gun sooouuunds! ) and I get to work on my Gun Editor: I open the Gun Editor, select the GunData.ini file and open it. I then select the gun type I want to edit and typr in the .wav sound I want for that gun. I then save my changes in the Gun Editor and start up the game, when to my surprise, there's no sound at all! Forgive me for the biographical explanation, but I just wanted to record the steps I took for everyone to see just in case I did something wrong. If not, can somebody help me out on this?

Hi all. Does anyone have any skins to match the F-4's Euro skins? I've spent the past couple of hours configuring all my USAF F-4 models on all the platforms into separate categories in the Ojects/Aircraft folder, making all the separate skins into separate folders, for example: F-4D_Euro, F-4C_Tan, F-4E_Grey, etc. I've decided for the time being to use the tan and green wing tank skins for all the Euro skins but it doesn't look the same (I'm a bit of a stickler for detail). I didn't think it would take too long but realised that I's have to make the same changes to all the platforms and all the campaigns within the platforms. It also gives me a chance to assign certain coloured tanks to cetain skins without affecting other skins. Now I don't have to worry about moder grey skinned USAF F-4s with SEA coloured tanks. When you look at it this way it's worth the effort, believe me. I just thought it'd be nice to have a little conformity within the skins so I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

Great stuff my friend. I'm always up for some sound experimentation. Do you have any sneak previews?

Sounds interesting. Does this refer to aircraft contrails or missile contrails, or both? It'd be nice to have some long snaking smoke trails from SAMs and AAMs

Fantastic stuff my friend. As quick and easy as French toast but ten times more enjoyable . Great for someone who enjoys as realistic an air combat environment as I do.... 10/10. All thats missing is the PC/laptop shaking from the near miss . Just out of curiosity; does this mod apply only to SAMs or do I have to make similar changes to apply the same changes to near misses from air to air missiles?

Hi again guys. Just back from alittle experimentation. I totally forgot that I still have my original Flight folder in the main directory which I renamed 'Flight_Default', after I downloaded the fabulous environmental mod recently. It turns out that I was amending the soundlist.ini in that original folder, which the game has been told to ignore. Anyway, thanks again guys for all your help. It's good to know that it's only a click away

Done and dusted. No problems there. I never knew before that the soundlist.ini had to be amended every time I added a sound file to the sounds folder. Until recently I used to just whack the .wav file in and then amend the aircraft data file/gundata file without any hiccups

Tried and tested it my friend. No luck I'm afraid. The soundlist is supposed to be in the Flight folder isn't it? I needed to ask that just in case it's supposed to be somewhere else.

Nope. Win98/ME compatibilty.

I've been scratching my head in regard to a rather irritating problem I've encountered. Hopefully somebody out there can point me in the right direction... Yesterday I added a carrier to my SFG campaigns by instruction from Dave's 'How To Add A Carrier To SFG/WOE' file in the knowledge base contained on this site. Everything was perfect. Take off was smooth as silk - the mission went according to plan - until my return to base, when lo and behold, yes you've guessed it, the carrier had vanished and was nowhere to be seen in any direction. I double checked all changes and entries and even referred back to the knowledge base and double checked everything step-by-step. It's now gone past 11:45pm here in Ireland and I'm way overdue some shut-eye, so I thought I'd post this in the hope that somebody might have a solution or maybe this has been a common hiccup to this upgrade. Suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance.....

Does anybody know if there's an RF-4C model floating about somewhere?

Thanks for the scoop, bud. I've been looking for something to replace my U-2As in WOE'S Red Lightning 1979 campaign

Right, here's the situation..... I have the exact same sound, graphics and gameplay settings on both WOE, WOV and SFG. All games are up to date. I play SFG and I have my cockpit windloop sound effect. But wait for it, yes, you've guessed it; I play WOE and it's absent. For those (like me) who like their in-flight experience to be as realistic as possible, this is both very strange and annoying. Anybody know what the problem might be?

A thought's just occured to me. Is there an .ini folder somewhere where you can specify the default wind sound for all aircraft? I've been through all my aircraft folders and everything seems to be where it should be

All these have been changed to 'windloop2' which I downloaded from some previous soundpack. I've already changed all the above mentioned DATA.INI files to point to that .wav file when I downloaded WOE a couple of months ago. I just find it strange that it won't work in WOE while working in SFG. It really gives an atmosphere to my 'working environment' while flying.
