Hello All, For the following air to air missile , Matra R-530R (EMD), what does the EMD stand for? I can't seem to hit anything with this version. Spiff

Hello All, When I add AC in WOV, I always change the start date to 1964 in the AC's data.ini. When I start playing a single mission with a friendly AC, the game seems to pick stock bad guy AC (most of the time, not always). When I play as a bad guy (say a Mig-23 add-on), I wind up getting toasted because everything from a Mig-15 to a F-22 is after me, don't forget the F-18F, F-35, etc. I guess I'm trying to nail down any parameters other than the AC service dates that might affect this. I have changed the options.ini date for the single mission to 2020. I only have 3 or 4 add-on Russian AC and would like to see them more. Sometimes when I set the mission date past 1973 I get the mission accomplished msg right away and there are no bad guys anywhere. Any thoughts. Thanks. Spiff

I'm wondering now if the AC's primary mission has anything to do with it's selection for a single mission (intercept bird for CAP). Anyway, I checked the singlemission.ini and had no date info whatsoever, just the second group for targets. Also, on a side note, I was flying Dave's Libyan Mig-25 and had French markings on it instead of green so I went to the nations.ini and changed the active date and this corrected the markings and hoped I could do this for the Russian birds to get them to show but no effect. Thanks. Spiff

Hello Whiteknight and Wrench, Thanks for the replies. Using those bold large letters really hurts my feelings . . . boo hoo hoo boo hoo hoo hoo hoo (I'm being sarcastic). I'm just thinking of the people who cry about all CAPS shouting at them. . .it's TEXT, get over it. Sorry, I'm wandering off topic. No Wrench, (head down lookin at my feet) I did not look in the knowledge base, but it figures there is a very specific topic since I didn't. I have read some of the other posts on date issues though. The single mission.ini is probably the problem. In my defense, I don't mess with the stock AC since IMHO it would ruin the sim since it only covers from '64 to '73. But for add-on AC, so what, adding a F-15E already crosses that line and it won't affect the campaign . . . I think. My main point with the post was when I fly USA AC the program will use one of the SU-? as an adversary but not the other two (all Russian birds with the same dates) which makes no sense to me. So long. Spiff

Hello All, I downloaded the green camo skin for the A10-A ver 2.5 by jagl04 from here. There's a file in there called PIX, could someone look at it and tell me if its legit or junk. I couldn't get the skin to work anyhow; just never seen anything like that before. Thanks. Spiff

Thanks for the replies. Spectre, when I say "junk" I mean something not game-related. I don't think there was a readme. Wilco, never heard of gimp before, I'll look into it. Spiff

Hello All, Noticed some differences between wep packs. Bunyaps has the ASQ-173 as a laser designator and the ASS-38 as a datalink pod. MFs has the ASQ as a nav pod and the ASS-38 as a laser desig. I recently added Fractalnoise's F-14D/avionics upgrade and got the ASQ as a targeting pod(laser?) and the ASS-38 as a nav pod. Maybe the discrepancies are a result of game limitations but now considering the new patches and reality, what should they be? Thanks. Spiff

Thanks for the info Crusader, the conflicting data (I think) is messing up my loadout for the F-14D. I guess I'll go with the aas as the designator and the asq as something else.

Edited for color. Posted the last image as a new topic by mistake. Spiff

Edited the planes and color a little bit. Spiff

Hello Everyone, I'm running a clean install of WOV patched Sep 08. I took the .ini data for the 27mm_bk27 and added it to the gun data from the MF wep pack. I'm going to rename some 20 mm effects and then add them to the bullet data since I can't find them in the weps packs. Will this give me working cannons on the tornado or is it a little more involved. Thanks. Spiff

Wrench, As soon as you said objects folder . . . moved the gun data and presto, I had guns. Of course there isn't much of a gunsight on the Tornado so I'll see how useful they are. In regards to the weps pack, I think it's the MF Jan 08 one and I've dropped in various missiles (both AA and AG) and all worked except a laser-guided MAV. I'm trying to fix little things on the GR1 now, attitude indicator and mirrors, minor glitches to say the least. Thanks, Spiff

Hello Everyone, Cost to download Bobrock's (I think it's bobrock) AV-8B. . .Nothing Cost to get 6 MAVs, 4 cluster bombs, 2 winders, and 2 tanks loaded properly. . . A little time Cost to master vertical flight with the new patch. . .Some more time Squeezing off the 6 MAVs in quick succession followed by the CBs on a tank column and completely wrecking their day in WOV. . . . PRICELESS She's a sweeeeet bird! Spiff

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to run Zur's Talon on a stock install of WOV patched to Sep 08, and the plane works but the wings are swept forward on the ground. I think the parameters got mixed up. Has anyone else seen this and know a fix. Thanks. Spiff
