ok did some more tooling around and added gunny's weps pack. somehow gave me the clue to what i needed to do though still not 100% sure what i did. thanks for the help.

brief your pilots that there will be no drinking 12 hrs before missions

Phabulous

ok set it up as shown in knowledge base even d/l 2 other jets to see if was issue with F-4G. still no dice here. have all mod files in name\Strike Fighters2\ThirdWire\ Sounds( or effects or objects\aircraft etc.) was just getting to be able to work around in WOE's files w/o messing stuff up and now gotta figure things out again.

there was actually a historical case for the Six going to Vietnam. the CO of ADC wanted to contribute more to the war effort and initiated studies to prep the F-106 for an escort role up north. this included the modified bubble canopy, a2a refueling capability and 20mm cannon added under Project Six Shooter and the T.O 1-1-4 scheme that never was used. however the Sixes deployed to Korea instead due to the pueblo siezure and stayed over a year in S. korea. got a interesting pic in a book of a 106 with 12 mk 82s loaded but was done for photo op not for real.

looks to me like the guy is reaching for the X-31 Space Modulator. so he can blow up the Earth you know

Joystick. In a game that is a flight simulation why would you use a keyboard? Unless youre flyin an Airbus

i'd vote for IL-76's being noisiest esp. on landing. things louder than the local vipers, mirages, and occasional C-5.

check out Spirit in the Skies put out by World Air Power Journal in 99 and reprinted with updates around 03 or 04. line drwings and description are back in the variants section. take my 99 copy with me on every deployment.

McAir called it the F-4J(FV)S or F-4M(FV)S depending on target customer USN or RN. Was drawn up when the Navy realized F-111B was a waste and tried to capitalize on something like 60% commonality with existing Phantoms. Also planned Spey powered version for the Brits all this along about 1967. never got beyond the drawing board though. oh and btw i might happen to be a Phanatic

in my experience with bunyap's and NF1 and 2 most planes worked great and a lot of variety of ordinance. but i had a couple of planes, esp the F-104G that would show up empty at loadout time. nothing zero. I' ve moved on to TMF's latest pack and it works great even if not as much variety. Still every plane has what she needs to get the job done. though i do miss the nukes.

was in iraq in 05 having just finished a 1/72 revell F-15A about 1977 vintage. used hasegawa weps some other spares to update it, trial and error to get air supioerity blue (to far to walk to nearest hobby store) and with a little creative cutting and reattaching had it at moment of touch down on runway speed brake out and all. so i take some foam packing that one of the workshops dont need any more and prep it to ship home. its secure in its box nothing the postal service can do to it should harm my baby right? i set it on the floor on my roommates side since he is on R and R leave and am gonna take it to the post office in the morning. well who shows up but my roommate. he drops his gear sees the box and not knowing what it is does his best Brett Micheals piledriver right into the box! MCAir prob never thought of that when designing. So i spend about nother 6 hours repairing. landing gear completely totaled so had to redo inflight. It's still "flying to this day in my living room but still not what i originally had in mind.

just finished hasegawa 1/48th F-4E before coming over here. The anniversary special bird but w/o the 30th Anniversary markings. unfortunately due to availble personal space here i had to cancel plans to work on some of my 20 phantom kits over the year. At least i Can still fly double uglies in NF1-4!

i had just downloaded bunyaps wep pack and was trying out the nuclear falcon. gave both flights order to rtb after spotting squadron of Bears. set up and launched my nuke but knuckleheads all went after the bombers instead of going home. net result 20 kills and one hell of a friendly fire call.

I'm tryin to change the year spread on my original install of WOE. I have read the post in the KB about how to do this however when i try to save the change the Options.ini Vista tells me access to that file is denied. I'm opening it usung wordpad. unfortuneatly my computer skills are only two notches above the guys in Zoolander when they announced "the files are in the computer!" How do i change an ini file? any help would be greatly appreciated

read only box was not checked but while in properties looked at security settings and adjusted them so the user had full control. it was set for read and execute only. thanks for pointing me in right direction!

one time in iraq, we had mortars comin in around midnite. we all shuffled in bunkers when one guy walks in butt naked. evidently a dud round landed in the shower stall next to him and he didn't wait around to see what happened next!

not too fictional actually. 4 TFW was co-based at Ramstien AB during late 70's thru mid 80's and deployed there a few times in concert with REFORGER exercises. Never picked the tasking back up after they transitioned to Mud Hens due to the course of history after that. Still woulda been interesting too see ARN-101 Rhinos in action.

first wave of ODS B-52G's launched outta barksdale many hours before first shots fired launched ALCMs into iraqi targets from just outside the border then later in campaign when IADS was shut down served as bomb truck destroying Republican gaurd units

this sounds like a great idea especially for those of us with younger kids that want to fly the game but can't quite handle mig's and AAA while figuring out which way is up. any chance of maybe makin a whole campaign? details in readme for demil' ing a fresh install and addin the civilian birds?

thanks for the advice i guess it doesn't get simpler than that huh

well here an issue for any one that wants to help. I've got my main install of WOE with NF1 and 2 and the oct08 patch and bunyaps weapons pack. big prob is that i'm tryin to do 2nd install but keep losing wep's after putting in weapons pack. adding to my probs is that im deployed and my avail internet goes at 7 kbs on a good day. i have copies of nf1.exe, nf2, oct 08 patch, bunyaps weapon pack, the 20-11-07 weapon pack as well as a few planes i was able to pick up before i left home. i will have to get nf3 on thumbdrive from the wife back home but i did a reinstall a month and a half ago using all the files i have. cant figure out what i did to have weps before. hopin there is interim solution involving ini. files or order of loading. second smaller issue is on install that works i have no weps for my F-104. doesnt drive me too crazy as i prefer two J79's to one but i've been curious bout it. finally i've had WOE for bout two years but have only discovered the add ons in the last 4 months so please break down any assistance into kindergarten terms. appreciate any help you guys can give me

the F-14 was originally designed to carry Sparrows recessed inbetween the engines. during flight testing a test round was fired off and pitched up and into the Tomcat. pilot had to eject and a/c was lost. not combat but another case of getting shot down by your own rounds
