I think so but I'm not too sure. It feels different but I need to re-install WOE and try it as I've recently upgraded, which just might explain why I'm loving WOI and the F-15.

I like the fact that the stock F-15 shows the engine nozzles how they were meant to be (i.e. with the turkey feathers) as F-15's without them just look wrong. In the real world I feel that leaving them off just seems to be an admission of defeat! There's some lovely add-on skins for the F-15 but, sadly, not many for the stock F-15.

Thanks Gr.Viper. "Honey, I might be home late tonight."

Roger that. We now return you to your scheduled broadcast...

I've got the full set of the TW jet series now and really love the look and feel of WOI. However, looking at the individual WOI aircraft folders there appears to be little or no scope for modding other than decals. So where are the data files and how do we get at them?

Well, today I've gone from this; Intel Celeron 2.20, 756 RAM and GeForce 7300GT To this; Intel Celeron 3.06, 1512 RAM and GeForce 7900GE And the difference is sensational and well worth the £100 upgrade.

Downloaded WOI just now and I've flown one mission.... AWESOME!

Pancho - A great post and your comments are spot on mate!

This is a really interesting thread for me as I'm itching to upgrade! In other threads I've seen mention made of peeps happily running the new WOI on quite basic rigs whilst other folk with quite impressive rig specs are disappointed. At the moment I'm running an Intel Celeron 2.2 with 756 RAM and a GeForce 7300GT graphics card. Hopefully, I'm getting an Intel Celeron 3.06 chip from my local computer store (they reckon they've got one coming up from another customer's upgrade) so I reckon that by adding a bit more RAM I should be OK for WOI.

Nice one Doghouse! As you say, any F-4E skin will fit so here is my RAF Super Phantom II in the markings of No. 20 squadron, RAF Germany, 1979.

Buccaneer and TSR.2.

You can't predict pity!

Sweet! Well done AmokFloo. This is a great add-on!

Too true mate! And my favourites for doing this are the Thud, FB-111A and the Tomcat (with 4 Mk.84's on the Phoenix pallets). I love this task so much that on missions to take out a fuel/oil tank I use cannon on those and keep my bombs for nearby runways :yes:

Regarding the Tomcat in RAF Grey/Green camo... Well I've had a real good look... so show me please!

Amen to that brother! I mean, where else could I fly a Gnat fighter-bomber in RAF service and in the desert?

I'm in a very similar position and running a four-year old desktop with an Intel Celeron 2.2, 758 RAM and a new NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT 128MB graphics card. Looking at it another way, as an alternative to replacing my rig, what could I upgrade first?

I started with SFG about one month ago and then bought WOE new off ebay for a fiver and WOV as a download from TW. I've now settled on a 'merged' SFG and WOE as I'm not that interested in the Vietnam era. I will get WOI as it's of real interest but I'm going to wait a bit until my four-year old PC is further upgraded or replaced!

I've only been into 'Strike Fighters' for about a month, buying SFG and running a merged WOE and SFG. The add-on aircraft and skins really make this an addictive game (or sim or whatever). So far, my favourite add-on aircraft have been the FB-111A and the F-16XL with the former being untouchable at low-level and the latter being just the sweetest handling aeroplane! How about you?

One little known user was the RAF.... I'll get me coat.

Just dipped into the Third Wire site and the long-awaited 'Wings Over Israel' is now available to download. Great news!

Bloody hell! I thought it was still weeks/months away!! I might need to tweak my PC a bit to really enjoy it though.

They are so good they really deserve a section of their own like the F-4 and F-86.

My pre-production YFB-111K in the early SAC scheme but with RAF markings. I've now added the pit and the avionics. This add-on is the dogs b*ll*cks!
