  1. can you please link the range download? i cant find it using search i have tried before aswell and am not sure which is right one. thanks mate.
  2. i dont know why 3w dont have some sort of auto message telling you you need the update or anything. i was searching through google and forums literally all day
  3. ahh thankyou how/where do i download the patch? nvm i got it. hopefully this will work.
  4. if anyone has even the slightest idea can you say because i want to try anything before sending the game back to amazon and getting a refund.
  5. im not sure im on a macbook pro but running bootcamp windws xp like i said i had no problems with strike fighters gold. i dont have to use hyperlobby to play single player do i? ive just been trying to open WOV but maybe im supposed to use hyperlobby to get to it?
  6. Hey, im new to flight sims really but i have some questions. what type of missile is the falcon,shreiken(something like that) and the basic ARM missile? (sorry if the last 2 arent quite right). i have had very few kills with the falcon i dont know if that is because i am not using them correctly or what. also are the basic ARM and shreiken supposed to lock on with radar or something, when i use them they always free-fire but maybe that is because i havent done something right to do with radar lock or something. if it helps i play on easyest setting because as i say i am new. i am guessing that sidewinder is IR rocket and you have to get behind the aircraft for it to lock onto the hot tailpipe? and also is the sparrow radar lock because instead of flying right behind it , the missile 'guesses' where the plane is going. i probably have alot more questions i just cannot think of them right now but if/when i remember them i will post them in comments and hopefully some of you can answer them there. thanks everyone i am very keen to learn as many controlls and information as i can and hopefully i will be able to fly great in simulator setting. i have also ordered wings over vietnam and it should hopefully arrive tommorow (thursday) so i might have questions about that also but if i do i will start a new topic.
  7. i just worked out it will cost £66.20 to get SFE,SFI and both expansion packs.
  8. so does this mean say SFV and WOV are too different games not one is just a remake of the other? if so i will get all the SF2 series in time but are they only available to download from 3w? or can yu get them on disc? is t possible to download an unlimited amnout of times say you need to do a reinstall or would you have to pay agaijn?
  9. @Dave what do you mean by under the hood goodies? Its too late to cancel my WoV , but i will get SFeurope and SFisrael. also what do you mean merge? if you get all of the titles you can make them all into one big game? and there is also mission editor in SF1?
  10. ok, i think really the best way for me to learn is just to keep trying out different stuff etc. so the little round radar is a radar warning device? all the little dots on it are something emitting radar and one that is flashing is something that is locked onto me but is not neccessarily a SAM? also what is the word...i cant remember its something like 'strike' or something but my wingman keeps shouting it over and over like "i got a strike" or something..
  11. Thanks this is really useful i have only reached air to air defensive atm as it quite long ill finish reading tommorow. one thing i thought of idk if its here already is if someone made a big list of all abbreviations e.g A2A=air to air LGB=laser guided bomb i would find it quite helpfull and im sure any other new recruits would aswel. i know its simple to find each one on the internet but not all in one place so you can memorise them. i dont want anyone to think im asking them to do it and being rude but its just an idea and it might already be here i dont know.
  12. hi im trying to download a mod but i need alot of other mods first and this is one of them: http://combatace.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=2672 but i dont know where to put the file there is no readme! please help as i say i need this to be able to use the main mod i want.
  13. right ive got it pretty much worke d out now. you set it to search, then you see small horizontal lines. you press a key and your 2 little lines go to the horizontal one. you press another key and a line appears with 2 dots going towards eachother one that happens you have a radar lock. then when in range ypu can fire a sparrow and instead of semi active it becoms fully active when you have radar lock! :D but whats bore sight do i have had no luck with that also when using ground mode to search for enemy radar do they pop up automatically or do you have to still press the key? also ill attach a a picture and in paint outline a bit can you tell me what its used for ? thanks guys i probably sound really stupid but i got this game like 2 days ago and im new to flight sims etc (well, flight sims that are this realistic) -i just tried to upload the file but i dont have permission but if any of you have xfire/msn or i can send in a email if you are willing.
  14. ive given up on the main download but if i get a weapon mod say for some different weapons all i have to do is download>unzip>place in objects folder>open SFG>play with new weapons? is it that simple or do i have to do something with weapon editor or aircraft etc??
  15. yeah im pretty sure i have a key for that and then when i have radar on and no target but there is circles on the radar i press it but nothing happens? i will try and play again later or tommorow
  16. so on the cirle radar on upper right when i see alot of circles they are enemy planes? and if there is only that is flashing and blooping im guessing that is a SAM missile? for some reason when i try and use chaff or flares it says i hae none whatever aircraft i use? also how do i get a radar lock on another plane? for example earlier today i was playing and i asked mission control about enemies they said 10+ angles 5 50 miles whch means over 10 enemies 50 miles away at 5 thousand feet. i got to angels 5 and then set radar to 100km but i still got no lock? and is a radar lock represented by a yellow box i got that once but im not sure how also what good is radar lock? oh yeah also forgot... if i have shrike or standard ARM and i target a ground radar and destroy it, what good does that do? disable SAM in the area or something? oh yeah also forgot... if i have shrike or standard ARM and i target a ground radar and destroy it, what good does that do? disable SAM in the area or something?
  17. basically i downloaded extra missions etc and i got confused but i had added them to mission folder. i now want to get all the files how they were before i downloaded any mods. i tried uninstalling and re-installing the game but that didnt work, it only deleted my campaign progres -_-. any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.
  18. in what folders do i put the ships and also what folder do i place the weapon pack? please someone reply i have done everything else this is all that needs doing now im looking foreward to flying it.
  19. i dont think ie ever been shot out of the sky by a SAM or even seen one (ive seen launcher but not actual missile) is this because i am on the easy game setting? also can ARM missiles only lock onto radar or planes aswell? and i take it then that radar is only usefull for finding other radars and sam sites? not planes/tanks?
  20. ok say im in search mode and have the shrike/basic ARM missile equipped. im flying and i spot some AAA,SAM and radar. out of those 3 can i only lock onto radar and SAM? also how do i know when ive locked on because just then i was in that situation and the radar was my target i selected shrike then pointed in direction of radar and fired. are there any buttons i need to press to actually get a lock? also are there any 'fire and forget' missiles is SFG? one last thing there are 3 radar screens in my phantom (not sure which model) the circular one in the middle of cockpit, another in upper right of cockpit and then again another in the very top right of screen. the one in top right cockpit has circles on it and occasionally one starts flashing and beeping. thanks Ps do you have xfire/msn?
  21. i think its radar im having trouble with. ive figured this out: if i select basic arm then switch to boresight mode i can fire it at a ground target and it locks on, but this doesnt happen with the shrike?(knew it was something like shreiken lol) what do each of the 3 radar modes do and how am i supposed to use them? and i can use the sparrow/sidewinders effectively but the falcon always fails....if i get in range and fire nothing happens (semi radar should be able to lock,right?) if i use it as heat missile and get behind the bandit and fire the missile usually falls out of the sky aswell??
  22. in the readme to the main mod im trying to download it says i must download certain mods first for this to work, and this is one of them so im guessing i have to have this one and not any others? but where would i put the weapon pack file?which SFG folder?
