Yes, Back up F-15 that's all. Credits go to Lexx for his rocket fire smoke effects as well as the 3D clouds which is gorgeous! Hope you can chase up the big bad guy. [bit of a spoiler here]

O! I have that link working. It is called Operation Reciprocality by the way. Use the following link for the time being and don't forget t get the sound files for the MiGs. Have fun! http://www.4shared.com/file/47969255/cbc98...rified=4856419f AL31FAB.wav MiG23Engine.wav

View File Operation Reciprocality Satellite passed Al-Walid earlier this morning found heat booms indicating Syria Air Force has their first strike long range bomber airbourned. Almost at the same time, air activities near sector 83 and 54 are increasing. Reconnaissance aircrafts reported visual confirmation that SA-2 sites in the area have been refueled indicating a surprise attack is imminent. You are tasked to intercept any incoming threats and track distant targets, shoot them down as it deems necessary. Authorization code is AZBZ-BBEZ-DABD. Good luck gentlemen!

Standby for words....

Typical problems would be the country of origin of the AA-9. Then you have to check the Service Start Year and Service End Year. Make the former be 1950 and 2050 for the later.

I am reading someinformation about Alamo found the AE variant being designed to intercept cruise missile. Is it possible to intercept cruise missile below Mach 1 in TW series? By the way, how to display a travelling cruise missile data on the bottom left hand corner of the screen just like an aircraft does?

I played around with the text in the message window. Changed to Tahoma that was fun!

Thanks for the pointer, Tailspin. Many thanks!

How do you change the text color of the aircraft data on the bottom left corner and that on the bottom right? Anyone has any information about this?

It really depends which installation you are talking about. As far as SFP1/WoV/WoE, you have to manually adjust the settings in the AircraftObjects.ini. As for WoI because the AI is much stronger, you may not need to do the adjustment. If you want to know the difference between each file, I would like to suggest you to download some file compare tools which is very helpful. Now, let's go back to your question.

Seriously, I don't use all Bunyap's weapon OR maybe it is not the time I am using them all. You can just pick a few you need and put it across the the WOI folder. I am more concerned about another problem with weapons. When an ground attack aircraft is attacked int he air, it dumbs all its bombs and evade without ever trying ot get to the target. Is it just my WoI installation or you also have had the same problem?

Sorry for the late reply. Couldn't connect to CA for some reasons. Indeed, many files previously found in folders of SF+ sims are now contained inside the .CAT files. You will have to extract them. Bunyaps weapon pack provides the TGA files that is quite true. But the problem is Bunyap weapon pack is NOT COMPATIBLE with WoI that has been tested. There is another weapon pack but that is with much fewer weapons. Now if I want say the AS-5 for testing it out with Tu-16 as the launching platform, I have to copy it from Bunyap's Weapon Pack manually. As for Lexx's work, you wil gave to supply WoI with the TGA file as resources.

Great findings! Looks like there are many unlock features in the game. Once we have got enough findings, we can develop some great missions with modern era aircrafts.

I come to ascertain the root of the problem. It is not about which weapon rack or weapon pack. Assuming no add-on weapon pack, that is the same to say based on the vanilla version of WoI (i.e. no patch applied), and this version of F/A-18A, the outer wingpylons on both sides can load up to 2 AGM-65A/B and the inner wing pylon on both sides can load up to 6 AGM-65B/A. After applying the April 2008 patch, the above configuration is no longer possible. Sorry about the finding, but there it is.

Regarding the avionic data file, I know very little about it AT THIS MOMENT. What I do know is it has nothing to do with AI aircraft. In Jane's Combat Simulation's F-15 which came out into the flight simulation market in 1998, it simulates nearly real avionics on F-15C Eagle. You can engage multiple targets and fire AIM-120 upon them on after the other. As far as WoI is concerned, the game engine's coding has been changed considerably. There are also some other radar track modes like STT. Might I suggest you to refer to the F-22's Avionics file for reference. In order to maintain authenticity, we have to make modifictaions not too much deviated from the factual data. There are a few places where you can obtain such data like radar search range and track range as well as azimuth. The problem with modelling radar is the the track range and search range depend whether you are head-on with the boggies or the boggies are running away from you. For example, the tracking range of AIM-120 missile is 30nm when it is chasing a target. When the missile is going head-on against a target, it's traxck range is increased to 35nm. So it varies. I refer to FAS.ORG before but lately they have changed their pages and fewer information is available now.

Many thanks!

Yes, it is possible. Just rename say AIM120.LOD to AIM120.LOD.BAK for example.

Alright guys, this version should still be heard even the afterburner is on. Missile.wav is the updated version. _Missile.wav is the original extracted version from Super EF2000 Missile.wav _Missile.wav

I am using Audio Editor to fine tune the pitch. There are 2 parts of the weapon release sound. The first part is the release from the pylon featuring a high bass noise. Followed by the actualy motor blasting off releasing reocket fire. A small difficulty is when I superimpose the file with the sound of the engine, it is pretty hard to distinguish the sound of the missile with that of the jet engine. If afterburner is on, the sound of missile firing can hardly be heard. I am going to tune the frequency up to see how it plays out. Do give me a little more time.

It is an extraction from a good old game by DID known as Super EF2000 produced in 1995. Here are some screenies:

Try this. Missiles.wav
