  1. I'm looking forward to the CA review. I have a sense of what is new (the AI is so much closer to what I've always wanted) but I'm not sure what other, hidden changes have been made and it would be nice to read a competent summary of what is new with the game.
  2. Don't worry, it runs fine on my old, crappy system. The only concession I had to make was shutting off the shadows, other than that its runs pretty smoothly on my stock, on-board Dell graphics card.
  3. Agreed. In WOE/WOV I'd usually start in the air and hit <esc> when done with the mission. However, given the great improvement in the AI with WOI, I've been flying back to base, and frequently having to fight all the way back. I'm really loving the challenge the new AI has produced. Yesterday I had a flight of Mig-17's follow me all the way back to base. I was out of ammo but I was able to keep ahead of them most of the way but ended up running out of fuel. They got me just offshore.
  4. I do quite a fair bit of critical editing and writing for work so I'd have no problem contributing whatever I can. I'd be happy to edit existing articles to "clean them up" in terms of consistency of language, narrative flow, and content organization. My TW knowledge is sometimes spotty but I think I'm firmly in the "Intermediate" level for most subjects and would be happy to contribute any new articles if given a topic. For those advanced topics, though I may not know the details, I think I could edit based on readability and ease of understanding rather than content. As neither a modder nor a producer of new a/c I'm thrilled to have a chance to contribute back to CA. Let me know whatever you may need of me.
  5. I thought for sure there was already a mod for that somewhere. Have you checked the download section?
  6. Valentines Day

    My wife makes it easy. She thinks V-day is just a ploy by the card/flower/chocolate industry so she doesn't insist on anything but a handmade card.
  7. I recently upgraded my RAM from 512 to 1G and it made a significant difference in game play. It seems that my computer in general is just much faster than before and the TW games load and play better than before. I think I paid about $50.00US at Bestbuy, and it took less than 5 minutes to swap the memory.
  8. Super Bowl

    I'd love to place a bet but I can't bring myself to make a prediction and risk jinxing my beloved Patriots.
  9. RippleQuantity=1,2,3,6,12,18 RippleInterval=60,100,140 Ripple refers to the release settings. Quantity is the number of bombs to release with each push of the button, and interval is the time lag between each bomb release. The ripple interval is in milliseconds. Both ripple quantity and interval can be cycled in-game using the bracket keys> [ and ].
  10. Get Wrench's "Ship wreck" available in the download's section. It includes a great tutorial on adding objects to the terrain. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=4522

  13. My Useless Post for 6000

    Over the years, how many of those posts said, "check the Knowledge Base!"??
  14. teen arrested for hijack plot

    Agreed! They said his plan had a "remote chance of success", and I imagine it's because everyone on board would be lining up to throttle the punk.
  15. Need some more info. What a/c, mission type, terrain, date of action, etc. My first thought is it's a date issue, but without any info it's just a guess.
  16. You can select a ground target (red box)in the game and the guided bombs will go for that target (if they are delivered within correct parameters), but you don't actually use the ground radar to select/lock the target.
  17. At 27 years old, my Cockatiel, Igor, finally died

    The loss of a dear pet can hit just as hard as the loss of any family member. You have my condolences.
  18. A little something for MLK day...

    Well said!
  19. It'd be great if you posted them, I'm quite interested in giving them a try.
  20. Fantasy Flight Sim

    I'm only familiar with the Third Wire stuff, but I'd like dynamic weather that changes during the course of the flight. Working airborne refueling would be a plus as well.
  21. Area 51

    Wonder Woman has had an invisible jet for years.
  22. Here is a link to an article in the Knowledge Base which explains how to edit engine data: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12100 You may want to review all the KB articles as it has a ton of info and usually answers most questions.
  23. Superbowl

    Figures we have to go through a Manning. GO PATS!!!
  24. Are you refering to a graphics issue (a loss of framerate), or the actual a/c is bucking in flight? If it's an a/c issue, what plane are you flying and in what game?
  25. Membership

    I'd suggest the "Obviously drunk while typing" category. Seems rampant at times.
