DL the "Fly The VPAF" mod availible here at CombatAce. This will enable you to fly all the MiGs that come with WOV. Incidently, the MiG-21MF cockpit mod by Mago will work in WOV. Just follow the included instructions for WOV...

Also bear in mind that some of the older mods, created before WOV was released, tended to use the F-104G & C-130 as a basis. These planes are not in stock WOV & you'll need a copy of SFP1 to get the C-130 files. Thirdwire has since released their F-104G as an addon for SF Gold. It will install to WOV so that removes issues revolving around mods using the F-104's cockpit...

You're in the US right? Just go to Circuit City's website & order it there ( It's $5-6 ). Once you have it installed you'll have TK's Tu-22 Blinder-A. The other variants that I uploaded will then work in SFP1. You'll be able also to extract the rest of the basic Tu-22 files, place them in the Tu-22 folder & export it to WOV. This procedure will need to be repeated for each plane that's based on a SFP1 stock a/c ( An-12, C-130, F-104G etc ). Same goes for exporting a stock WOV a/c to SFP1 ( like the B-52D for example )...

Still no joy Here's what I have in the Cyprus_targets.ini : [TargetArea014] Name=HAWK Battery Alpha Position=376500.000000,70000.000000 Radius=500.000 ActiveYear=1969 Location=1 Alignment=Friendly Target[001].Type=HAWKL Target[001].Offset=-100.203,-100.53 Target[001].Heading=0 Target[002].Type=HAWK_HIPIR Target[002].Offset=50.137,50.891 Target[002].Heading=90 Target[003].Type=HAWK_CWAR Target[003].Offset=000.0,000.0 Target[003].Heading=90 Target[004].Type=HAWKL Target[004].Offset=100.203,100.53 Target[004].Heading=180 [TargetArea015] Name=HAWK Battery Bravo Position=325500.000000,700000.000000 Radius=500.000 ActiveYear=1969 Location=1 Alignment=Friendly Target[001].Type=HAWKL Target[001].Offset=-100.203,-100.53 Target[001].Heading=180 Target[002].Type=HAWK_HIPIR Target[002].Offset=50.137,50.891 Target[002].Heading=90 Target[003].Type=HAWK_CWAR Target[003].Offset=000.0,000.0 Target[003].Heading=90 Target[004].Type=HAWKL Target[004].Offset=100.203,100.53 Target[004].Heading=180 [TargetArea016] Name=HAWK Battery Charlie Position=358500.000000,678000.000000 Radius=500.000 ActiveYear=1969 Location=1 Alignment=Friendly Target[001].Type=HAWKL Target[001].Offset=-100.203,-100.53 Target[001].Heading=180 Target[002].Type=HAWK_HIPIR Target[002].Offset=50.137,50.891 Target[002].Heading=90 Target[003].Type=HAWK_CWAR Target[003].Offset=000.0,000.0 Target[003].Heading=90 Target[004].Type=HAWKL Target[004].Offset=100.203,100.53 Target[004].Heading=180 Here's what I have in the Cyprus_types.ini : [TargetType072] Name=Hawk_CWAR FullName=Early Warning Radar TargetType=EW_RADAR UseGroundObject=TRUE ActiveYear=1969 TargetValue=250 RepairRate=3.22 StartDetectChance=80 StartIdentifiedChance=20 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=10 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect SecondaryChance=50 [TargetType073] Name=Hawk_HIPIR FullName=HAWK High-Powered Illuminator Radar TargetType=SAM_RADAR UseGroundObject=TRUE ActiveYear=1969 TargetValue=200 RepairRate=3.22 StartDetectChance=80 StartIdentifiedChance=20 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=10 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect SecondaryChance=50 [TargetType074] Name=HawkL FullName=Hawk SAM Launcher TargetType=SAM_LAUNCHER UseGroundObject=TRUE ActiveYear=1969 TargetValue=100 RepairRate=3.22 StartDetectChance=20 StartIdentifiedChance=0 IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0 MaxVisibleDist=8000.0 DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect SecondaryChance=50 Here's what I have in the three object data.inis : HawkL : GroundObjectRole=MOBILE_AAA Hawk_HIPIR : GroundObjectRole=SAM_RADAR Hawk_CWAR GroundObjectRole=EW_RADAR It should be working, but the game had me fly a Turkish F-5A over Hawk Battery Charlie & none of the three Hawk componants were either visible or firing...

I have a question guys. Say, on the Cyprus terrain, I want to place a unit of HAWKs near Nicosia, how would I go about that? Assume that I've placed the proper files into the OBJECTS folder & edited the GROUNDOBJECTDATA.ini to include the HAWK & both radars. What else do I need to do & do I need the Terrain Editor to find positions? Same goes for the base an Incerlik...

It's definately on Pasko's "To Do" list, along with a Hong-6, & possibly a J-8. However, right now Cap has him working on some rush projects for the upcoming WW2 Pacific campaigns...

B-58 is currently getting it's FM tested & refined. I sent Pasko the ECM/Countermeasures for it a couple of weeks ago. F-102 is on hold until Crab_02 returns from his current tour in Iraq. IIRC, F-106 needs skinning, FM, & pit work. Hound Dog is on wpnssgt's "To Do" list along with an updated B-52H. Most of the guys working on these are doing it "Catch As Catch Can" juggling other commitments. So, patience Grasshopper...

There are plans to release the Nesher & several versions of the Kfir, however you have to remember that 3D model building takes an inordinate amount of time. The model builders for the Mirage family are currently redoing the Mirage IIIC and the Israeli Mirage IIICJ. One of the Kfirs is having it's Flight Model worked on as we speak, but realistically don't expect it anytime soon. I've personally been waiting for one of my favorites the Mirage IIIE for at least a year now, so be patient...

I have a M/$ Sidewinder FF2, Beats me also... Have you tried reinstalling your Sidewinder Drivers? Or checking for a bit of dirt where you plug the cord into your stick?

What's the install procedure for Just Flight's Battle Over Europe? Can I install it over v4.01m? Or must I install FB, then ACE, then BOE, and the PF & the combined install patches?

AMX v2.0 ( the version you need to have before applying the update that I have uploaded here ) is availible at : http://www.avsim.com/ in the SFP! Mods, Utilities, and Patchs section of their file library. The others are not availible yet for the following reasons : F-101 & F-102 : Author will resume work on these once he returns from duty in Iraq. He has at least another eight months to go. The Bucc is on hold while the author works on other projects. B-58 is still in the process of being skinned & having it's Flight Model worked on... ( Note: this is the second time that you've asked the same question in a week. Do not expect any further answers if you persist, as the modders consider being asked the same question by the same person every one or two days apart to be extremely rude. Remember the modders are doing these mods for free. And they are doing it out of their own private time while holding down jobs & raising families in the *Real World*. Nobody likes to be badgered... )

OK guys, here's the deal : Got my copy of BOE today. You can install it over v4.01m merged install, But... You also need to DL & install Starshoy's BOE4.0 patch as well, in order to get the extra planes & the RAF Normandy campaign. Here's a link to Starshoy's announcement thread over at SimHQ which has the BOE4.0 DL link in it : http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cg...;f=127;t=003159

1. B-58 Is nearing release. 2. The author of the Viggen model decided to release it for FS9 instead, & has no plans for a SFP1 release. 3. F-101 & F-102's author is currently serving in Iraq. Work on this will recommence apon his return. 4. A-37's author has not been heard from in the last eight months, status unknown. 5. The Bucc is on hold pending completion of other projects. 6. The Pucara should still be availible at http://www.avsim.com/

You can get "Enhanced Desert" tiles from Deuces site, or "Photo-Realistic" tiles from MajorLee's Aerodrome. These will work with the terrains that are desert tileset based...

Thanks. It should arrive in the next day or so. It looks like I've got a re-install to do...

1st Supersonics v1.95 now availible at CombatAce. Changes include adding Fubar's MiGRWR sound & his MiG FMs that are now the standard. Updated Type 74 & Type 76 decal.inis by Ghostrider883.

Drop the folders called "Type 74", "Type76", and "Type 77" into your "Aircraft" directory. for WOV : Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft for SFP1 : Strike fighters/Objects/Aircraft 2. For WOV, you should have Patch 1 & the latest Weapons Pack installed. For SFP1, you you have up to SP3 & the Weapons Pack installed. Deuces' Effects Packages are suggested. As are Fubar512's Sounds Packages. Patches & Weapons Pack availible at http://www.combatace.com/ ======================================================================================== Changes In v1.95 : 1. FMs brought up to the current MiG standard by Fubar512. 2. MiG RWR sounds by Fubar512. 3. Updated Type 74 & Type 76 decals by Ghostrider883. 4. New loading screen photo by Ghostrider883. ======================================================================================= Credits : The following people deserve many thanks : 1. Ghostrider883 for his decals, research, & skins. 2. The Wrench, for his excellent Hangarscreen & audio RWR workaround used here. 3. tomcat1974 for his setka3 gunsight .tga 4. MiG radar .tga by Eruyi. Any mistakes are solely mine... The Guys at the SimHQ SFP1 forums, CombatAce, & Column5's forums for inspiration, enlightenment and keeping the faith in allowing SFP1 to mature and grow. ======================================================================================== NOTES: A. This mod is primarily intended for WOV, but was tested in & will work for the earlier SFP1 series Sims. B. v1.8 Changes since the earlier versions in IAF MiG Pack v1.6: 1. As SFP1 becomes more difficult to find, WOV compatibility is crucial. Cockpits of the earlier versions were based on the stock SFP1 F-104G. This has been changed to the A-4B & A-4C pits common to both SFP1 & WOV. Both pits are a stopgap until the SFP1/WOV modding community releases proper MiG cockpits. 2. Availiblity of WOV allows for the more accurate MiG-21PF .LODs as opposed to the earlier PFM LODs in order to reflect the fact the Type 76 was based on the Soviet MiG-21PF, and the Type 77 based on the Soviet MiG-21FL models. Type 74 continues to use the MiG-21F .LODs. IAF 23mm Gunpod continues to be a compromise until such time as a proper GP-9 gunpod is introduced. Droptanks for the Type 74 & Type 76 MiGs are deleted. It is known that the Type 74 used some form of IAF availible non-Soviet droptank, but we still haven't been able to determine which one. Soviet 490 ltr tanks were only introduced with the Type 77. 3. In keeping with further research, all the IAF MiG-21 series now have working Radar Warning Recievers. IAF MiGs were originally fitted with Serina 2 rear hemisphere RWRs then further upgraded. 4. The Indians were initially very skeptical of the MiG-21P ( Fishbed-Cs with the 30mm guns removed ) that the Soviets initially offered for sale. IAF pilots demanded & got the Soviets to jury rig a GP-9 Gunpod to the Type 74 Migs before delivery to India. Type 76 Migs were also supposed to recieve this modification, but the 1965 India-Pakistan War broke out before this could be carried out. During the War, IAF pilots of the 28th "1st Supersonics" Sqdn saw extensive service. Due to a lack of AA-2 missiles, the Type 74s used the gunpod exclusively in battle, while the scarce AA-2 Atolls were reserved for the gunless Type 76 MiGs. Fortunately for the Indians, the Pakistanis also suffered from a shortage of AIM-9B Sidewinders for their F-86F-35 Sabres & F-104A Starfighters. After the 1965 War, the IAF quickly replaced both the Type 74 and Type 76 MiGs with the Type 77s. Soviet Doctrine, which had favored missiles at the expense of guns on fighters, was changed by the combat experiences of the Indians in 1965, and the North Vietnamese during the 1960s... ======================================================================================== Enjoy!

AD, Have you checked with Florian? He has a Tornado v2.0 pack fairly close to release. Perhaps you all can divide up the Tornado family...

I'll wait for the *Real* patch, I've been burned before...
