looks like the leaning tower of pisa :) Craig

your in luck, theres one in the user made mission section, "Gulf of Sidra Incident". Can be played from both sides :) Craig

set up shop and pinch all of gerry's ideas, supersonic, delta winged, radar equiped,missile armed RAF interceptors in the mid 40's? :) Craig

I've checked the KB and ran a search and turned up nothing so I'll ask here Are the older carriers mods (Albion, Bulwark, Ark Royal, Vindictive) compatable with SFP1 post oct08 patch. I've tried simply placing the ships in the ground object folder, tehn entries added to the terrain types list but no joy. Craig

got it sussed, there was a problem with the way the configs were set up thanks anyway Craig

yeah, been using the libya terrain and comrpnt's carrier mission pack. I've taken one of his missions and swapped out the carrier for the Clemenceau, Eagle, Nimitz, Garibaldi, Invincible and Hermes and never had a problem with these ships. Its only the 4 mentioned above thatarecausing problems. Craig

Its doable on hard at least, I've had stalls and flat spins in the Mirage and F-4. Bugs looking good Craig

a Hawk 200 :)

I reckon the Aussie climate would suit me better (I dont do cold lol) though from what I've heard that offer only applies to those coming to the end of their service in foreign forces. Funny you should mention submarine service as thats "Sub-surfface warfare officer" is plan B after pilot/observer. Craig

Failed RAF aircrew selection on grounds of eyesight, on the plus side I was then told that I had met Royal Navy aircrew vision standards. Trouble is I have to start the application process from scratch this year so I'm a year behind where I want to be and I'm going to get sea sick lol. Why standards in the Navy and Army differ from the RAF is beyond me. Oh yeah and I lost my job on December 27th... company went bust. Craig

"Overtake Metallica...." I think not. Ain't going to happen, end of! Craig

as far as I'm aware noone has yet produced a Lightning cockpit, if you want to substitute the F-100's for another pit then copy and paste the cockpit folder, cockpit ini & avionics ini from the donor aircraft into your lightning folder. You will also need to open the data ini of the donnor aircraft and copy the "detectsystem" section and paste that into the lightning data ini. Once youve done this you must rename the copied ini files and rename them as per the names listed in the lightning config.ini. Craig

knocked this up last night ala Spinners Suppose we stayed in the carrier game and that the Jag M wasnt an abismal failure. Craig

29.79 and going crosseyed lol Craig

bar raised to 26.78 :) Craig

Was just thinking about this the other night, thinking back on Janes IAF and starting in the alert shelters, kinda miss that old game. Craig

"most of us have jobs, or school, or family" or all of the above... Craig

thanks for the fix, been having te cannon in the Typhoon jam every single time I use it. Was firing at most 7 rounds and thats was it. Craig

After much thought on this I think my vote has to go on the Typhoon, excellent model and one of if not the best and most functional panel I have yet to come accross. The F-35 would have to be a close second Craig

With regard to Soviets doing double shots or radr and IR, I've read this to though I'm fairly sure it was IR then radar otherwise the IR may lock onto and track the radar guided missile so if it missed they both did. Craig

Ok the idea of this is to admit to the dumbest thing youve done while flying in game. Last night I installed the Su-27 in WOI and decided to try it out in single mission. Expecting to go up against an Typhoon, F-15 or F-16 I was rather disapointed to find that the gods of the mission generator paired my flight off against a flight of Swifts... I got two with AA-10's then closed to get my ass shot out from under me.... sneaky b******s were hauling Aim-9L's.... moral of the story never underestimate anyone or asume anything! whos next? Craig

give that man a cigar knew I'd be missing something obvious, was just about pulling my hair out thanks Craig

rather than opening a new thread I thought I'd post this here as its really got me stumped. I've been working on the AI hunters making them flyable in WOI and have used the data.ini that STORM provided, if I use the ini in the link then the canopy functions however if I copy and paste the relevent code into my in progress ini it nolonger works. Exibit A the downloaded ini: CanopyNodeName=Canopy_Rear CanopyAnimationID=10 HasArmor=FALSE [Canopy] SystemType=ANIMATION InputName=ANIMATION_1 DeploymentMethod=MANUAL AnimationTime=6.0 AnimationID=10 Exibit B my entry: CanopyNodeName=Canopy_Rear CanopyAnimationID=10 HasArmor=FALSE [Canopy] SystemType=ANIMATION InputName=ANIMATION_1 DeploymentMethod=MANUAL AnimationTime=6.0 AnimationID=10 how can one work and the other not if theyre identical? Craig

"the history of aim 54 proofs that there is no interest for missiles with range over 100 km" a handful of Iranian Tomcat and Iraqi Mig pilots might beg to differ... being able to reach out and touch your oponent is always a nice option to have :) Craig

In the case of the F-35 I believe its to be mounted on the wings. Craig
