Flying with the Ruskies now aye ????

IL-2 1946 ,, The Enterprise Campaign,, with a few edits to fly the Avenger Torpedo Bomber.,, and the B-52 campaign I conjured up for WOV 1

it was built that way,,having 2 deck gun mounts,, I had a hell of a time ridding the 40mm off the front,, it didn't look right and made me sea sick watching the guy up front,, it is a easy fix if you end up playing it., I modded the files that are in the downloadable Pt-109 so you do have a dual 40mm mount in the rear which acts like deck gun and makes short work of destroyers,, I have threads in subsim.com how to get it to work in campaign and to fix weapon mounts except the butt ugly 20mm mounts. The boat has been around for years, built and not finished,, the guns worked ,, as AA and deck guns,, but no torps it took me months to get torps up and running I passed the information along in subsim ,, Bismarck got if up loaded into downloads in it's present state,, and I finally after years of tinkering got it to work in campaign..

go to the 5 min mark to see the pt in action

here's the how to,,,, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=229564

At the 5 min mark you'll see the PT-109 that,, I helped to get the torps too work, in SH-4 ,http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=229564, the down load is in subsim down loads,, it will have a 40mm single on the bow and a twin 40mm on the rear ,,

I got the PT-109 in Silent Hunter 4 to work in campaign ,The PT-109 is in the download section of, Subsim.com and the how to is in Silent Hunter 4 mod work shop..

you get that sorted out give me a ginggle to offset to the side to look down a gunsight would be awsome.

you are correct on the muscle of the video card,, for us poor souls that have a mediocre cards I'm get getting better frames than I did with less planes about,. AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.01GHz,, 2 Gigs of ram 32bit and a Generic GeForce 210 with 512ram comes to a crawl in heavily populated areas with planes and sams WOV1

oooh in my nieghborhood,,I even had this was going on with my xp box ,, the problem I think is there's way to many ai planes up,, the fix I did was I went into the Campaign Data and cut down the number of planes ,, I'm still testing this WOV1 1984 do this on all units,it is a bit of work, be sure to back up file //----- Player Unit [AirUnit001] AircraftType=F-15E Squadron=94TFS ForceID=1 Nation=USAF DefaultTexture=USAFtng1 BaseArea=Udorn RTAFB BaseMoveChance=0 RandomChance=100 MaxAircraft=6 <---------------change this from 16 to 6 StartAircraft=6 <----------- MaxPilots=6 <------------- StartPilots=6 <--------------

like this,,,,,, same thing different time of day,,,Green Hell 3. something running in WOV 1

I'll tell you alittle secret about the IL-2 gun sight it is bore sighted for 200 yards,,I have found that one click up of Head movement adds 200 yards to the sight,, so if you do one click up you are bore sighted for 400 yards ,and set covergance to 450 it seems to do the trick for the shots I remembered in other sims ,though I am dismayed about the realistic gunnery option.

Every body else does,,, So you are an off liner,,British,, so you'r Flying the Spits,, they are modeled pretty good,, me being a jarhead I like naval ops,,, I like the Corsairs,,, a man over at Free Modding named Mr. Watson made or remodeled the Corsairs 4 different models the F4U-1 USMC F4U-1A USMC F4U-1C USMC and the D he redid the Flight models to where the speed of the plane is close to what it was in real life they fly very nicely,, a game changer for offline Pacific ops

Boy that's alot of downloading,, that's why I opted to do Strike Fighters,,, First Eagle,, and IL-2 412.2 and sas,,, and I found my Mighty 8th disk so I got that loaded to my poor machine,, do you fly online hyperlobby IL-2 ??? with the machine you got can you fly Rise of Flight ???

I got mine in,, stood and saluted a 1000 bike parade on a lonely stretch of road coming out of the Space Center Merritt Island Fla,, To guys I knew that died in the Barracks Bombing in Beirut, a whole company,, Comm Company 8th Engineer Support Bn 2nd FSSG ,, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

It bites getting a new machine, and can't run the classics on it,,, will first eagles 2 run on your new machine ??? I've debated about getting a new machine and if it won't run IL-2 I'm not having any part of it,but the online community is shrinking and I've been looking at war thunder but it looks to arcadeish,, but ROF looks good , I got 4 or 5 older dell xp machines that didn't cost me more than the little bit of labor to get them to run again,, I would watch for county or state auctions you can get computers by the pallet full for pennies on the dollar,, Now I haven't done it but I heard that you might be able,,, to make a partition on your hard drive and put in another OS,, here's a link,, hopefully someone in here, with more knowledge can say whether this is a good idea,or not,, I'm just a front guy that comes up with these ideas. https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive-2626081

Did the games work before ??? there might be one last ditch thing you can do,,,,I'd look and see if you got a restore point,, like I said it is a last ditch action to be taken,, I even got out from under an older ransom ware attack by useing it.. as always to do this at your own risk.

Since I'm running vista and xp machines I'll have to hand this off to someone that is running a more current OS than me,, 32bit games don't fare well in 64bit machines from my understanding.

what was the last thing you did with the OS if I was to guess Direct X would be where I'd start first.

Sounds like you got it,,, this is what it looks like ,, attack my target,,, at 30,000ft ,3 planes ,with 300 bombs

what would the edit be,, to bomb something other than Airfields I must have bomb the same air strip in to atoms,, guess what you are going back there you missed a blade of grass.

I'd like too see that kitchen,, have you had any luck with the GBUs,,, I don't know what weapons pack I got installed I had a mishap with it and had to repatch to get weapons back but I got more than stock anyhow plus these babies.

Well here it is Friday,, got plans ?? Just when you thought you were going to get away from the virtual cockpit,,wrong,this fix covers all stock aircraft and the edits also work on addon aircraft,, to fix the stock F-4s is to add a avionics ini,, what I did was I downloaded the f-4c wild weasle from nato fighters column5 and copied the avionics ini and pasted it in the f-4c folder and then changed the radar settings to give you this.. [TextureData] RadarTexture=cockpit\f-4c_radar.bmp RWRTexture=cockpit\f-4e_rwr.bmp [AvionicsData] AvailableModes=SEARCH,ACQUISITION,TRACK,BORESIGHT,GROUND_MAP RangeUnit=NM RangeSetting[1]=3 RangeSetting[2]=6 RangeSetting[3]=20 RangeSetting[4]=100 RadarPosition= this will also get you into the ball park with level radar bombing,,, the center point at the 3mile radar setting is your aiming point at 3000ft at 450 knts use your radar altimeter and wing leveler for better results,,,will have more intel later ,, enjoy and happy hunting

well, to be honest,, for some un Godly reason I got an evolution thing going on,, early models I dive bomb and que bomb,, when later models come up with ground radar I radar bomb ,,, then when more modern avionics come up I ccip I got an F-4J dolled up with 15E avionics with hud that's my favorite,,.. but of course you seen the B-52s I got the ai to bomb my target and follow them in.

Well here it is Friday night just when you thought you had plans to go out,, thanks to Alexis99 we all are going to be gearing up a new f-105 campaign,,, well first you are going to have to do some downloading,, first if you don't have the A-7k 2 seater in your stable you'll have to get it from nato fighters column5,,, 1. Copy hud file in the a-7k cockpit file and paste into the f-105 cockpit file 2.Remove f-105 avionics ini then copy the a-7k avionics and paste in f-105 folder. 3.now you are going to have to go into the f-105 config ini and change 60dll to 70dll 4.now if don't have it you'll need to get the B-52 radar screen out of the B-52 cockpit folder and put it into the f-105 cockpit folder.. 5.now there is a ccip sight floating around here I found it by accident put that in to cockpit folder. 6.the avionics should look this. [TextureData] RWRTexture=cockpit\A-7E_rwr.bmp RadarTexture=cockpit\B-52_radar.bmp RadarTextureSize=256 [RadarData] AvailableModes=GM RangeUnit=NM RangeSetting[1]=3 RangeSetting[2]=5 RangeSetting[3]=10 RangeSetting[4]=20 RangeSetting[5]=40
