So I got the sim running great on vista and downloaded and upgraded just about everything but I have one serious issue. I am playing this on a laptop and I don't have the key required to look at the in flight map! It says in the manual to press zero on the keypad. My laptop does not have a keypad. Does anybody know of a workaround?

I enjoyed it. I got OFF phase II and tryed it out but It barely plays. Next Computer upgrade I'm all over it! OFF Phase II is fun and really makes you feel there more than any sim I have ever played, That says it all right there!

Really appreciate that, Thank you!

I know that allot of Jasta's used AlbIII's as well as Dv and DVa so I wanted to make the DIII flyable in campaign. I changed it in the campaign dat and it shows the aircraft as a DIII in the Jasta selection screen for jasta 4 but when I load and fly its still the DVa.

Well I changed it in the file under First Eagles\Campaigns\WWiE1Camp1 In that folder there is only one file, Where is the other?

If it isn't the card its the PSU. PSU problems can be intermittent and darn difficult to track. I built a custom gaming rig in 2002 for IL2 sturmovik and it ran perfect but it would randomly hard lock. I reformatted, tried every driver in the book, sent it to a shop only to get it back and have the same issue and only with IL2! I was going nuts and just about gave up when a tech friend mentioned that I should try a quality high end PSU. I thought for sure it couldn't be the PSU but it was. PSU= Power Supply.

Was a nicely written review. I for one would be all over it but my laptop doesn't even come close to the horsepower so FE for me and a lil RB3d to boot!

I have long since had the feeling that FE series was always a back burner thing. Even in the modding world it seems to take a back seat to the SF series. What's more interesting is that WW1 modders are some of the most fanatical, Look at RB 3D and OFF, yet it seems that few have interest in FE. Its sad really cause FE has some serious potential. Maybe in time?

F-100D somwhere deep over Ost Germany in 1962 and my flight of 4 gets jumped by Mig 19's and 17's I get a tail on a 19 and good tone at about 1/8th a mile (Usually allot farther than I would let a 9B rip) and send two figuring that I would make him jink and close the distance to a gun kill. First one fly off the rail into the abyss as usual but the second seems to track. He breaks hard left still tracking then he levels and dives still tracking then he pulls vertical and its still tracking! I can see it climbing slowly up to meet his hot exhaust and....Boom Mig Kill! I have never seen an Aim9B so determined! Not bad when you add it up, 99 duds and 1 super missile lol.

I was there since I live in Peoria about 5 miles from the base. Damn windy Sunday but was a blast and look forward to it again this year! I got my pics somewhere Ill try and post em.

Johny finally found a viable solution to girls and their cooties.

I read somewhere on here that the 9B has a 70% fail to track rate! I can hit with them about 25% of the time but it takes allot of patience. Just stay close and wait till the sucker runs out of energy and levels out after a prolonged turning battle then fire one down his pipe.

Well people can burst into flames if touched by the sun so maybe it is a take cover alert!

Too funny!

1st question. Yes. Your radar doesn't pick up his radar emissions so his radar does not need to be on. Your radar sends out a signal that bounces back off his aircraft regardless if his radar is on or off. But his RWR (Radar warning receiver) will pick up your radar emissions just as your's would pick up his if aircraft is so equipped. You can look at it this way Radar is active you turn it on power it up and search. RWR is passive as it sends out no signals just receives signals from opponents radar. Hope this helps

I think he is speaking of the overcast issue that Nato fighters has. Its a known problem in Nato fighters readme.

Yes Indeed but Churchill would never let that happen let alone the English people.

Yea I would have to put it between the 109 the P-51 or the F6F. My guess would go to the 109 since it saw heavy combat from beginning to end.

I have SF2 WOV, WOE, WOI merged install patched to latest WOI 2 Patch. I downloaded the great Mig-21 Complete Pack SF2 ALL 1.7 last month and installed it easy breezy. Loved it and flew allot of missions on the dark side. But I installed another mod and it messed up the whole game so I went to my C:\USER \NAME \Saved Games folder and deleted thirdwire getting rid of my whole install and starting from scratch. Started all four sims seperately so that they would have a saved games folder for each sim and followed install directions to the letter 3 times!!! Yet even know the Mig's are in my folders with proper cockpits and INI's when I launch the Sim they dont show up at all. I am Stumped and assumed the game overwrite the modded Migs for stock but when I check folders they are fine. I put Aircraft in the objects aircraft folder for all four sims under my saved games thirdwire menu and the other files in there proper place but its a no go. I have spent the better part of two hours re-installing and double checking to no avail. Can anybody please explain why the sim isn't seeing the Aircraft?

Well it was just so stupid that it just might work and it did! Thanks guys for all your assistance on this issue since it was driving me batty. This is a great site with good people!!! Thanks again! Salute!!

Never thought of that. Its just might work! Ill let you know.

Yes the mod actually has a correct version of the Aircraft.ini in it and when I install it overwrites the TW version. But when I play the sim and go back and check its the TW version again. Even if I copy and paste the proper info it just overwrites it upon game start with TW version again. I tried renaming the MOD Mig folders but even then the TW file overwrites the modded install and the main aircraft INI. loses all the viable info needed. I'm stumped as to why.

Sorry Kevin I thought the first line in my first post was more understandable. I have all four series 2 sims in a merged install and patched with the latest Israel 2 patch. As far as deleting the mods folders and starting the sim remaking them I understand that and in fact that is what I was attempting to do as a start fresh approach. That way just installing the Mig pack fresh it would limit the variable's and help me identify the problem. So starting all the exicutables creats new mod folders in user\name\saved games\thirdwire folder. Check! Install mod into all four game folders per instructions and in the proper place. Check! Start sim to find Migs...fail! Inspect files only to find Aircraft config overwritten everytime with stock TK file. Stumped:dntknw:

Upon further inspection it appears the Aircraft config file gets over written with the stock TW file. Cant figure out why??

SF2 merged all my exhaust has become blocky and pixelated on cetain aircraft. Anybody seen this or have a solution?
