I hope whoever steps into office next resumes production. It reminds me of the B-1 when Carter axed it and Reagan made it possible for Rockwell to resume construction, production and procurement.

Yea but it's radar cross section is still larger than a Raptor. Heat signature is HUGE still on it too. Lockheed's creation is for export to countries that one some stealth technology on their aircraft. It is nowhere near as advanced as an F-22. We are making a huge mistake here in the long run cutting a plane that will give us service until at least 2030.

It's not working for me. Not even showing an ammo quantity (it's all grayed out) in the loading screen... confused!

How can we have adequate defense of our country without the latest technology? Pretty crappy that we are blowing billions (err trillions) on bailouts, banks, and garbage spending as to re-equiping our military to deal with 21st century threats. I know that history has proven production can be restarted (i.e. Carter's B-1 cut and Reagan's B-1 recovery), but what about the Raptor? Can this even be restarted?

Someone tell me I'm hearing things? Gates said today that the Raptor line is stopping at 187?!

After thinking about this a little, I may be missing a TGA file. Will try reinstalling again...

I downloaded the Wolf one and did the night fighter conversion on it, which is a separate download.

I just noticed on a Corsair that I downloaded the canopy translucency (exterior) is not showing up. I'm not sure if this has to do with cockpit reflections or not as mine are turned off. Is this an issue with the LOD or an INI File?

At 30,000 feet I'm sure my pilot is getting a hell of a draft, yet with a severe lack of oxygen at 230 knots.....the canopy stays open! How do I fix? Should I just reinstall it?

After reading that the Luftwaffe was disbanded in 1946, I am removing the aircraft for this scenario. I was going to snap some teaser pics of F-51s intercepting a Tu-4 bomber formation but I kept getting gunned down by the B-20 20mm cannons on thsoe things. I literally had 2 wings blown off trying to fly in between the formation balls to the walls...

I need to put mine up. I went postal in a B-58 last night. 3 nuclear explosions behind me with 1 fresh one in the foreground, all 1MT'ers

Maybe it's the weapon's textures and the rendering causing the CTD.

I have also decided to leave out the B-36 Peacemaker in this since the aircraft had numerous problems and was not active until 1951.

Crap. I should read more air warfare and WWII books more. I considered the Typhoon, but given the criticism of it being an intercepter, I opted out of it since I am looking for a concept of covering C-54s during the airlift missions. However, used as an attack and CAS aircraft, it would be awesome!

Campaign Idea on the Berlin Crisis I had a small yet creative revelation on creating a great campaign that would contribute to a Cold War gone hot for WOE fans like me and a very realistic & alternate era of the Berlin Crisis. The setting is on the stock Germany map with aircraft from the mid-to-late 1940s, post WWII. I'll put a summary below along with aircraft ideas. Campaign Era & Length - June 1948- December 1949 Name: The Berlin Crisis & Escalation Aircraft will be a transition between the end of World War II and the start of the Cold War. However availability for aircraft gets rarer as they get older, but here is the idea: USA C-54 Skymaster (Cargo Plane for Berlin Airlift) F-4U Corsair Variants P-47N Thunderbolt P-51D/F-51D Mustang P-61 Black Widow B-29 Superfortress F-80 Shooting Star Germany (A What-If Idea that the Luftwaffe is in Remnants but still capable of defense) Heinkel He-111 Junkers JU-87 Junkers JU-88 Messerschmitt BF-109 Messerschmitt BF-110 Messerschmitt ME262 Messerschmitt ME163 'Komet' Focke Wolfe FW-190A Dornier DO-24 (Cargo Plane) Britain Avro Lancaster De Havilland Mosquito Gloster Meteor Hawker Fury/Sea Fury Hawker Tempest Short Sterling Supermarine Spitfire (Latest Version) Westland Whirlwind Soviet Union Ilyushin IL-2 Sturmovik Lavochkin LA-15 Fantail Lavochkin LA-11 Lavochkin LA-5 Mikoyan-Guervich MIG-3 Mikoyan-Guervich MIG-9 Fargo Tupolev TU-4 Bull Yakovlev YAK-9 Frank Yakovlev YAK-15 Feather Campaign Premise: In May 1948 the Soviet Union imposed a heavy blockade against the west, cutting off East Berlin from any allied support. As a response to this, President Truman dispatched C-54s to support citizens of the East known as the Berlin Airlift. As Stalin grows infuriated that his concept of forcing rule over Berlin using starvation as his weapon flails, he orders interception of the C-54s. As Germany struggles to fend off the Soviet interdiction with remnants of its army and the Luftwaffe, Truman responds by sending the Strategic Air Command and Marines to deter aggression by targeting Soviet bases and incursions into West Germany. With the Soviets now nuclear capable, Stalin threatens to insitute a nuclear response on any invasion of territory for deterrence escalating European forces to DEFCON-III status. Flyable Aircraft - Any non-Soviet aircraft above should be made flyable to add to the fun factor of possibly a 50+ sortie campaign. Fly your own war; it's your decision to escalate this into a nuclear exchange. Thoughts and ideas are welcome.

Yes Yes I need to 'Bone' some Russian targets!

And bomb with it too

You need to goto the Microsoft Website and download an updated version of DirectX. If you have Lexx's nuclear explosion effects, follow the directions below... Open your MissleObject.ini and add this under the WeaponTypeList=WeaponData.dat part at the top.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean about ramping the data files

Bummer. I swear if I had time and a Studio Max, I could do one. Now I'm just resorting to downloading everyone else's ideas of fun

Wow I haven't heard any updates about it. I hope the project is still on. I need a better strategic bomber than my B-52.

I was just reading a book last night about the B-50. I am curious to know if anyone ever made one for the TW games.

Ah I see! Once you patch up, you have to extract the MissileObject.INI in the Objects folder out of the catalog ( CAT ) file. From a previous thread I found Lexx's INI edits to input in. Looks like I'm all good to go now! Closing Thread.

Fixed it... now My nuclear explosions don't work (all Enhanced Explosions packs don't work actually). I've already transferred all my weapons over again and ran the new Weapon Data program to update them to Oct 08 specs. Still no luck. Help.... :beta1:

FIXED, but now another problem...
