When playing a stock Rolling Thunder campaign in WOV (patch 8/30/06), at least "long" and starting in 1965, even when flying an F-8E or F-4B/D eventually MiGs don't show up any more, and I'm reduced to blasting warehouses and fuel tanks over and over and over. Did TK do this on purpose, or is it a bug in the stock RT campaign? Thanks.

A few years back someone (I forget who and where) posted a VIETNAMSEA_TARGETS.INI file for WOV that cut down drastically on the framerate-killing SAMs which infest that game. IMO it makes WOV much more playable. Should I submit this file--and where should I send it? Thanks.

Wrench Thanks much for figuring this out. In the meantime I stumbled on a workaround. Paste this over your decal file for VF-11: [Decal001] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=2.4,0.285 Rotation=358 Scale=1.9 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal002] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=2.4,0.285 Rotation=002 Scale=1.9 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal003] MeshName=Wing_Left DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-5.5,0.20 Scale=1.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal004] MeshName=Wing_Right DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=5.5,0.20 Scale=1.8 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal005] MeshName=Wing_Left DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NAVY Position=-5.5,0.25 Scale=3.6 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal006] MeshName=Wing_Right DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/T Position=5.5,0.035 Scale=4.5 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal007] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NAVY Position=-4.5,0.6 Rotation=358 Scale=3.1 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal008] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NAVY Position=-4.5,0.6 Rotation=002 Scale=3.1 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal009] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/RipperE Position=3.2,0.55 Rotation=358 Scale=0.80 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal010] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/RipperE Position=3.2,0.50 Rotation=002 Scale=0.80 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal011] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/T Position=-6.3,2.1 Scale=6.0 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal012] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/T Position=-6.3,2.1 Scale=6.0 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal013] MeshName=Rudder DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/MBuNoH Position=-5.55,1.25 Scale=2.4 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal014] MeshName=Rudder DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/MBuNoH Position=-5.55,1.25 Scale=2.4 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal015] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NoseNum Position=4.0,0.275 Rotation=358 Scale=3.0 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal016] MeshName=Nose DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NoseNum Position=4.0,0.275 Rotation=002 Scale=3.0 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal017] MeshName=Wing_Right DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NoseNum Position=4.65,0.1 Scale=3.3 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal018] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NoseNum Position=-6.4,3.175 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal019] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/NoseNum Position=-6.4,3.175 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal020] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/BuNo Position=-5.55,1.175 Scale=2.4 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal021] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=F-2H2/VFA-11/D/BuNo Position=-5.525,1.175 Scale=2.4 DecalMaxLOD=4 Transparent tail problem goes away!

I have a transparent tail with that skin. Even resizing it to 512 x 512 didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks

I want to make a USMC F9F panther for the Korean War campaign. Capun has a banshee F2F with USMC decals, and I'm trying to use those decals on the F9F Panther. I use the proper file/directory structure in decals.ini but the decals won't show up. Any ideas?

Open up f-2H2_DATA.ini (or whatever the data.ini for your Banshee--Razbam's or Capun's is called). Paste this over the [FlightControl] in the .ini file. [FlightControl] StallSpeed=59.01 CruiseSpeed=205.8 ClimbSpeed=200.1 CornerSpeed=192.9 MaxG=6.00 MaxSpeedSL=269.1 MachLimit=0.85 PitchDamper=0.85 RollDamper=0.4 YawDamper=0.0 This will make the Banhsee perform more like its USAF equivalent, the F-84G (like the Banshee, a first-generation, straight-wing, fighter-bomber). Not only will the Banshee feel less like a lawn dart, but the AI banshee's will actually land on a carrier or runway without crashing!

A couple of out of print books by Robert Dorr and Warren Thompson: Korea : the air war, and Korea the air war (2) are good for starts. They're very pictoral, but give a good overview of all the "birds" in that war, not just sabres.

Went to Column 5 this morning. It's not there; down big time. Any idea when or if it'll be back up? Thanks

Try www.arktus.com That's where I downloaded the Kurland/Murmansk mod.

Just downloaded Mid East campaign pack and realized that Pasko's Venom (needed for Suez) is MIA because it only existed on his site--which is down. Ditto for his Yak-15 which I need for a campaign (Berlin Airlift goes badly). See no reason why his material can't be posted here or on Avsim so long as he gets proper attribution. Kikka
