Go to the "making your dumb bombs smarter" thread,,& d/l my bomb sights zip.... The basic bombing method has to be operational in order for the bomb sights to work.... I will be releasing a couple new sights pretty soon,,as well as some minor fixes for the B-52G...

******************************************************************* Thanks Wpnssgt, Looking forward to your F-22 also.. :)

******************************************************************* It's one i made,... & have been experimenting with bombing altitudes & speeds with the A-6E TRAM.. :)

At what speed & alt were iron bombs dropped from the A-6E??I know it would depend on target & defense.... Wasn't the laser designator used to target for use of both dumb & laser guided munitions? Now if we could just get this laser designator to lock on to a ground or moving targets.... ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** ********************************************************************

Lexx, Try this,,,,,put these 2 files inside your weapons folder,thats in your objects folder.. Here's my PFU,...i had a heck of a time gettin nose to show.... ********************************************************************

******************************************************************** Lexx, I went through this problem with the Mig-17PFU awhile back,,i think it was missing a LOADOUT.ini file or something,,How many LOADOUT files do you have in your Mig-17PFU folder?

Made a couple new old gunsights,,i installed em on all my aircraft that uses F-86 cockpit,, it is modeled after a F-86D sight,i put em in a rar zip with instructions if anyone wants them... ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** Gunsights.zip

I've been playing around with your B-52G,,trying to improve the ground taxi steering & porposeing on autopilot,,i also have been experimenting with a norden bomb sight,using the level bombing techinque. Im requesting your permission to make available the edited data.ini file ,cockpit.ini & bomb sight for your B-52G.... :) Thanks for making the B-52G,,,it packs a wallop... ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** *

Ron, This mission is made for WoV because it has VietnamSEA terrain & the CVA-63 carrier. You can install carriers & different terrains into SFP1...from people (modders) that have created them and put them out for download for us to enjoy.. :) The msn file is created when,,,you copy & SAVE the text i posted to notepad,,name it what ever you want,,then make it a msn file by putting .msn at the end of what ever you named the mission..example: Carrier Launch.msn or F-4J Attack.msn..then it will be saved as a msn file,which you can copy & paste it into your mission folder,,then it will show up in your single mission selection menu... ,,,but in order for the mission to work,,you must have the correct terrain,aircraft,objects (carrier) to match the mission... Here is a site or two that will help you understand what you need to get carriers up and running,,er..i mean floating.. ,Column5 is a good site... http://ca.geocities.com/saganuay820/...http://www.column5.us/ I would try & get to the bottom of why WOV won't load,,Is it a original Version??

Got it fixed by adjusting the ViewAngles line in the Cockpit.ini,,thanks

Is it possible to move the gunsight to the right of center??(Horizontally).. Im working on this bomb sight thingie...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Yes,....im trying to adapt it for use as a level bomb sight in WoV & SFP1.. I've got it working on a B-52D,,but it has some alignment issues...

Got this,, TOP SECRET Norden bomb sight,,,it's presently installed on a Buff for testing.. ********************************************************************

Hi sunliner, Here is a simple cat launch missioin,,,using the CAV-63,F-4J Phantom II, & Vietnam terrain,it will give you a idea how missions are made.. As Fubar says you have to create your own missions/campaigns,or rely on someone else to do them & make em available for download... The CVA-63 is the carrier that comes with WoV,,but you can download & install many more that modders have made... Just copy this to notepad,rename it to what you want,make it a msn file,install in your mission folder,,go fly,,,,hope you like it... ******************************************************************** [MissionHeader] AircraftType=F-4J MissionMap=VietnamSEA MissionType=CAP StartDate=05/10/1972 StartTime=16:00 [Weather] WeatherType=CLEAR WeatherAlt=4000.0 WeatherThickness=500.0 FogAmount=0.6 ContrailAlt=8000 StartWindDirection=90.0 StartWindSpeed=0.0 WindGustingAmount=0.0 [MissionData] FriendlyAirActivity=1 EnemyAirActivity=1 FriendlyAirDefenseActivity=1 EnemyAirDefenseActivity=1 PlayerMissionID=1 PlayerPositionID=1 MissionNumber=1 AdjustStartPosition=FALSE AdjustBaseWaypoint=TRUE [AircraftMission001] AircraftType=F-4J Name=SHOWTIME FormationType=USFighter Size=1 RandomChance=100 MissionType=CAP ObjectiveID=0 RatingForSuccess=50 Position=652000.0,565000.0,0.0 Heading=90.0 Speed=0.0 Alignment=FRIENDLY Nation=USN Texture=USNGrey1 Squadron=VF96 AircraftNumber=00 PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT CarrierBased=TRUE StartOnGround=TRUE Waypoint[01].Command=LAND_TOUCHDOWN Waypoint[01].Position=652000.0,565000.0,0.0 Waypoint[01].Size=50 Waypoint[01].Speed=60.0 [GroundMission001] GroundObjectType=CVA-63 Name=CVA-63 Kitty Hawk NavalObject=TRUE Carrier=TRUE FormationType=Single Size=1 RandomChance=100 Position=652000.0,565000.0 Heading=90.0 Speed=15.0 Alignment=FRIENDLY Nation=USN ShipNumber=63 Waypoint[01].Command=WAYPOINT Waypoint[01].Position=752000.0,565000.0,0.0 Waypoint[01].Size=500 Waypoint[01].Speed=15.0

Mad Mike, You need the WINRAR archiver program,its a archiver program that processes RAR & ZIP files..most everyone involved with Strike Fighters uses it.. Here's the link,,it's free,,it will unzip the file you downloaded... After it's installed: If you want to change back to your current WINZIP or whatever you use to unzip compressed files,,,just go to ADD/REMOVE programs & remove WINRAR.. :) ******************************************************************** WINRAR

******************************************************************** DW, Now we're cookin with gas....... A instant LZ maker,..... it will break your dishes....

Talon, Sorry but the AN-12 is a cargo/transport aircraft and as such has no weapons capabilities modeled in WOV & SFP1 (as far as i know).. The only two cargo aircraft that are modeled in WOV & SFP1 are,AC-130 & the C-130B_PAF...at this point.. I would like to see a C-130 with the capability of pushing a "Daisy Cutter" out the back....

Talon, What don't you understand??let me know,,and i'll try & help... :)

BOMBS AWAY!!!.. Hope this works for you all,,,it's not perfect,,but just a simple solution for level bombing. With a little trial & error,,one could get quite accurate with putting dumb bombs on target.. Instructions in the Bomb _Sights.zip file... ******************************************************************* Bomb_Sights.zip

Oh man!!!...That looks great..

I got a little more testing & it'l be ready for action...now bombing at around 30,000 ft...using B-29B.. ********************************************************************

A buddy sent this to me,,,

Thanks Capun, I did a forum search over there, but didn't go to archives... :)

Hi all, How would i go about changing just the cockpit frame work???what files are involved?& what tools would be necessary to make changes??? thanks.... :)

I enjoyed D-O.... Are yu puttin my lights on that island for night ops????humm.... ;)
