The tricky thing is that some folks not read the readme files. In the read me i stated, that some solutions for troubleshooting can be find in a second readme which is placed in a subfolder that is called: "special". In the subfolder "special" you find also files which can help you, especially for the strange blue ribbon problem. To simplyfy the answer i copy the lines of the troubleshooting readme below. For the blue ribbon problem see asterix 2. And by the way, an 2MB picture is a little bit big for demonstrating a problem. READ ME: This folder contains subfolders with solutions for troubleshooting. ********************************************** *If you has no runways on WOV you should copy all files from this Wings over Vietnam folder to your Wings over Vietnam folder. *********************************************** * If you have problems with a strange looking blue ribbon you should open Flight folder and copy Flightengine.ini in your StrikeFighters/Flight folder. OR If you have already manipulated your Flightengine.ini you can also change the entries as follows: 1. open the file 2. scroll down to the SceneClip section and overwrite the existing lines with: [FarSceneClip] FarClipDistance=160000.0 NearClipDistance=3500.0 [NormalSceneClip] FarClipDistance=140000.0 NearClipDistance=250.00 [NearSceneClip] FarClipDistance=25000.0 NearClipDistance=1.2 3. Scroll down to [WorldSettings] 4. Change the value at Border=80000 to Border=50000 ********************************************** *If you get CTD after loading screen you should copy the objectslist.ini from objects folder into your StrikeFighters/objects folder OR If you have already manipulated your Objectslist.ini you can also change the [ObjectGroup009] entries as follows: [ObjectGroup009] GroupName=GroundObjectGroup GroupSize=10240 StaticGroup=FALSE ObjectFlags=GROUND Searchable=TRUE

Platoon, definitly No 1 is Oliver Stones Platoon and the best movie for the winged troopes was the soviet/french "Normandy-Njemen"

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...ode=sst&id=2937 File Name: Deutschland Terrain Version 1.0 (Germany for SFP1/WoV) File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 8 Jul 2006 File Updated: 17 Jan 2007 File Category: Terrains Version 1.0 This is the first release of Deutschland terrain. It is freeware and intended as stop gap filler till "Wings over Europe" will be available outside the USA. It is made for SFP1, but can also used for WOV. *In comparision to beta v 0.75 i included some more ground tiles (Towns at rivers, 3 new tiles) The map is reworked a little bit. *The Rhine Valley between Koblenz and Bingen is now flowing more or less into the valley and not more over the hills. It is not perfect, but much better than before. (23 new tiles) It is a funny place for hedgehopping. In a further update i will include the castles for which the Rhine Valley is famous for. *The number of target areas is now 248 instead 186 in Betav0.75. *New targets are civil ports in the GDR and the FRG, Antenna fields in the GDR. 2 naval bases in the East and one in the West (At this place i want to say thank you Capun and Mike Whl who gave me the permission to use their Osa and Koni ships as static targets) *I placed some ponton complexes on the map (Again thank you to Polak, who mad the pontons originally for my Israel terrain) *West Germany got a SAM defence *additional east german Industry is added *some big barrack complexes are placed at the map, including one of the longest buildings in the world Prora which you will find near the big eastern bay at island of Rügen *The CoolingTowers of the powerplants now have smoke. (Thanks to Darreck for the CoolingTowers) The smoke is not yet perfect (The exhaust time is to short) But i hope that this problem can be solved. *I found some bugs, like the Hawk launcher or Shilkas at the runway and solved the problem. Some files for troubleshooting you find in the subfolder "Special" in Deutschland folder With this release of Deutschland terrain this terrain is far away to be complete. Germany is a so heavy populated contry that the number of target areas could be increased to 1000 or 10.000 and you would not have all possible targets. I have concentrated my work on the east of Germany, the former GDR. I also invested a lot of time in the northern part of West Germany and the Rhine Valley, the former FRG. Bavaria and Thuringia are nearly untouched. You see, there is still a lot to do. If you have remarks or comments, please post it at SimHQ forum or Combatace forum. Finally i want to say thank you to all who supported Deutschland terrain with files and hints. And of course a big thank you to TK and his team for the development of the SFP1 sim family. I hope you enjoy Deutschland terrain Michael (Gepard) Click here to download this file

F-22, F-35, Eurofighter Typhoon, Su-35, Su-37, MiG-29M1 this are all pretty birds with strong points and weak points. All are high tech planes. Each of them will be a good fighter or is a good fighter. BUT, and now comes the but. Does we need such birds really? Which conflicts should the fight? The big east west confrontation is past, history. Big scale air battles are over. Finish. What we need today are birds for asymetric warfare. Birds like the A-10, the Su-25 or Su-39. Birds that can support our guys at the ground. This is what we need. As example. The 5 or 6 new german Eurofighter are much less usefull than it would be a squadron of A-10 or Su-39 with german markings in Afghanistan. And finaly my point of view to the high tech birds. In very short time they are all history. The drones will be the future. Unfortunatly.

J-10 for chinese service F-10 for export FJ-10 is mixed something

An E-8 would be a nice bird, the never build MiG-21 successor. 2 Prototypes. A really nice beast., the forrunner of the F-16.

You will also need a tileset. It using VietnamSEA.cat with my Israelterrain, for instance you will have a lot of white fields and in some cases Vietnam like terrain texture, but no desert.
