The following images are a tribute to Jan Tuma and his amazing work. Thank you Jan:salute:

The first ones i have used the black and white conversion tool in Photoshop, the rest are touched with "autolevels" and "Autocontrast" from the enhance menu in photoshop. The only picture i did not do anything to is the one in color with the Fokker DR.1 with blazing guns. :)

File Name: Sound pack FEG(ONLY)Sopwith Camel Engine. File Submitter: wretched File Submitted: 17 Feb 2010 File Category: First Eagle Sound Mods Sound Mod for First Eagles Gold(ONLY). I have made custom engine sound for the 3 variants of Sopwith Camel, the sound is recorded engine sound from a real Camel. You may or may not like these so i urge you to backup your original files before install. I have included the originals of all files that will be overwritten by this mod(sound files)but you should still back up just in case.:) Install: 1- Put the 3 aircraft.DATA files in their respective folders inside Objects/Aircraft......... 2- Put the sound files in the /Sounds Folder. The weapons files are made by Nixarass and i've included them because they go very well with the new engine sounds. Also i have made a new Windloop sound, This is an essential file to get the most out of the engine sound. Thank You! Wretched Click here to download this file

I was on a two-ship recce mission earlier today. Just as we where closing in on the designated target area we where ambushed by two pairs of Neshers. Since we where flying the MIG23 i figured the best thing to do was to outrun them so we put the hammer down and sped south. Tactic was working fine until a pair of Mirage III's suddenly flanked us. We broke hard right but we did not really have to worry, the pilots of the Mirage's must have been very inexperienced as they both flew straight into a mountainside and went up in flames. By this time i once again opened the throttle and let her have it, unfortunately i had become separated from my wingman at this point and he was lagging 5 miles behind. Just enough for the Neshers to catch up with him. I started thinking about what to do and decided that i had to get him off the hook, i turned around directly facing the oncoming Neshers. As i passed them doing 745kts they started to turn on my six and my wingman got away. One of the Neshers started to head home but the other one wanted to fight. I struggled to get on his six for a good 3 - 4 minutes and fired two Atoll D's at him, now this guy was no fool as he swiftly outmanouvered the incoming missiles. I went vertical and managed to slip in behind him a second time, fired off two Atoll A's only to see him break hard at the very last moment thus avoiding my last two birds of prey. At this moment i figured it was best to haul ass and get outta there so i turned and burned, strangely the Nesher did the same. I guess he had enough for one day as did i. My Lead Mechanic snapped a couple of shots of me as i parked on the ramp, he said i looked; Numb. :) PS.Before you go ranting about the external fuel tank; We are the Egyptian Air Force, we cannot afford to just drop stuff in the desert:P

Thank's for sending me in the right direction:) I found that it was like you said, mods that interfered with Le.Missioneur. Thank you for helping out.

Faulting application WOI.exe, version 8.10.0.16, time stamp 0x48fcb8b6, faulting module CampaignScreen.dll, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x48fcb6b7, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00001fdc, process id 0x1480, application start time 0x01caaf47dd18eca6. Looks like i'm screwed. The Le.miisioneur program is definately something to stay away from.

I can't get the flaps sound to work in any of the sims(WOI,WOV,WOE). Aren't they supposed to? Thank's

After some more testing i found that they do work once AFTER take off, if i engage and disengage the AP they work once. I find this strange that they only work once in a while.

I understand, thank's again for your work.

Thank you for a great package, i really enjoy flying the MIG's. Now a couple of questions: 1. The MIG21_PFM shows a canopy mounted mirror from inside the cockpit but nothing from the outside. Intentional or a bug? 2. The MIG21F sows a solid wall behind the pilot seat but from the outside wiev it has an all round glass canopy. Again intentional or bug? Thank's again for your time and effort to make the migs flyable.

I am also surpised with the ai of these sims. On one occasion i was in a rolling fight with a mig 19, we kept rolling around eachother both hoping to gain the upper hand. I got lucky and managed to get on his tail for two seconds, that was all i needed. The mig 17s outturn me every time and they are damn good at it too, whenever i close in for a kill they break and turn hard and i really struggle to keep up, on average it takes me 5 - 10 minutes to get a shot in and i always miss with missiles. I have also flown a total of three mig 21s into the ground, looks as if they freak out after a few minutes of having me behind them and completely loose their situational awareness. The worst thing is when i fly mp missions against my son and he orders his wingman to hunt me, all of a sudden i got two bogeys locked on my tail. It becomes a desperate fight for survival, really gets the pump going:)

Are the kill markings supposed to show up in mp too or should i stop looking for them? Paul
