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.
Im am enlightened.In future I shall do so madame.
Still getting the hang of my comp.

I was sampling some of the older planes and I came across a real delight to fly and with the correct data alterations can make a recovery in very decent time. I increased thrust and top speed to MSIP levels, and climb rate to 50m/s less than the formidable flanker(real world flanker is around 355m/s)
My enthusiasm got the better of me and I decided to take on a posse of Flankers with eight of my brave Baz's. The furball that ensued was spectacular. I enclose a picture; a postcard from the Suez terrain.
Can the Baz carry 8 sidewinders? It saved my life up there, coz a sparrow cant track a flanker unless the angle is... well i dont know... I fly by the seat of my pants. Sometimes im lucky I guess.
I came back with one tail.

I did a modification to include CV in a stock '79 campaign. But it doesn't work very well. The missions area always is too far and the speed required is too high be successfull. Maybe I missing something.What i did was alter the individual aircraft data files; increased top speeds after making correct real world references to mach figures. However like in the real world you cant do go max throttle forever. I dont know what happens except after a certain point ur a flying firecracker.

Actually ignore that im sure uve been around long enough to have blown the hell out off that one.

Yep go for Red Swarm.Its mad bad and ugly. Its got F-14s, f-18s,a-6s, a-7s, s-3s, and all the rest. And digital overloads carrier so its a four man take off.Go into the campaign data file though to ascertain what you need to down load.Its got all the Migs and even the SU-27. Makes for interesting Mach 2 intercepts, and super dogfights so watch yer six.And sure it works. On vista too. Need help Ill be glad walk you through it. I had quite a time. And oh yeah the rf-4c aint around here no more so go for the ef-4c and make the neccesary changes in the redswarm data files.

Anyone have a working carrier based campaigns for WOE?Yep go for Red Swarm.Its mad bad and ugly. Its got F-14s, f-18s,a-6s, a-7s, s-3s, and all the rest.

G'Day all,I'm in the middle of a project at the moment, but I was considering doing an SR-71 as my next project.
Is anyone interested?
Also, if I did make a recon SR-71, would anyone be interested in a fictional strike version with internal weapons bays?
Yes by god yes.There was an an A-12 or something that was scrapped if I recollect correctly. But theres nothing like dedicated recon missions. There are exhilirating by themselves. Yesterday in a Su-33 I was jumped by these tomcats d's taking potshots at me with them phoenix's. even at 70000 feet

I was up on HiCap yesterday in a Ra'am and we jumped these Sea Flankers and what turned out was the most exhilarating fight I've ever had. Having downed two with long range shots(AIM-120's) this one fella got onto my six and stayed there like a hound on blood. I took him through the paces; low level Mach 1.2 and then storm climbed all the way up to 50,000 feet.Usually they disengage, but this guy was quite the adversary.Anyway with the speed bleeding off I decided to making him overshoot. It was just him and me so I took the chance of being shot at by his buddies but my guys were keeping them busy, so it was like I said just him and me. So I pumped on the brakes and throttled back, ruddering by the skin of my teeth out of his sights while he filled the air with the green stuff. It was a classic scissors. We turned, pulled, he overshot just like I wanted him too and then my tweaking around with the data ini got me right between the legs. The guy turns on a dime, and he's back on my tail. So I do my routine again, speed brake, rudder and... we join together in a fiery collision.
This engagement reminds me of the one in the book Firebreak by Richard Herman. It even got my girls attention who is avowed anti-aircraft.
Thumbs up CA_Stary for the pyrotechnics;FastCargo for the cosmetic treatment that made the Sue just a little more beautiful.
And the Ra'am rocks. But thats obvious.
Kudos to everybody who has worked to making this sim the best I've played.

Affirmative! We are getting closer... have to wait for the patches... then fix it all again.We had a major set back recently when some A##HAT got there nickers in a bunch and deleted all our work from the FTP.
But we have everything backed up so work is continuing as we speak. New toys and goodies to play with.
So stand by ............................
wait for it.........................
2 weeks!
Copy. thanks for the heads up.

I thought I saw it a few days ago. Having finished with red swarm I needed something so I thought about ds.Only thing is its not there. Does it come with the terrain?It seemed like a pretty large file.

Also try to change the sound in the data.ini to this[sound]
WindSoundName=windloop
StallSoundName=
EngineSoundName=JetEngine
AfterburnerSoundName=JetBurner
DamagedEngineSound=
FlapsSoundName=Flaps
AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes
GearsSound=Gear
It cured my CTD's on all those aircraft.
It worked it worked it worked. Im beside myself with joy.Thank you so much again. Remember Mudcat Walker; the book I mentioned; well he's back! The F-14 shall reign again.
-
Thank you'll gentlemen.thank you very much.
And well I intended no historical reference, just the Tf30 engines that were common to both airplanes. But that was enlightning. I love both aircraft, having read Chains of Command and Thunder Station.

My game is crashing to ... even after the fix.This is only with the f-14s, f-18s and the f-111. Any guesses. Ive read the kb and ive come up dry. Even done a round of bunyaps kb.
-
check the knowledge base this will give you a hint or two what to doI did.Thanks though.I also saw USAFTML has his installed on his desktop. Apparently he's on vista too.Seems like this is exclusive to me.Thanks though. Im red eyed and tired. Cheerio.

First thing I do when I get out of law school is sue Microsoft for unscrupulous business practices.Long term goals aside i am indebted to the person who came up with the fix.; so simple yet so elusive.
I cant run the F-14s, F-111's and F-18 to the debrief screen coz it crashes when I punch esc.
Its reads

TF30;the navy;Seems like theres something there but my finger just isnt on the button. And its a shame the hornet has to be a another victim to Vista. I just dont get it.Apparently Robin Williams does.He calls it TIT( Total Information Technology) coz Microsoft has us by the motherboard.
Humour aside this is a desperate plea for help. Rubber or silk either way im crashing to the desktop.

Thank you.Its a pandora's box.Soon Ill be tearing across Kosovo and terrain allemagne whatever that means.
