I'm really reluctant on that stick since im on a lappy and always in transit, with a very small hand carry. flight stewards might joke that i want to fly their plane. lolz Guess there's no going round it. @ fallenphoenix - thanks for the tips. so if i get what your saying. when the tip of my wing passes the boat left side i count to 10. then turn to face it from behind and then move in for the landing. starting at 800ft and descending 700ft per min. im not really good at naval terms.

I tried searching the threads but so far the only info i have is on landing the harrier and that's a bit missing too... I had the SF series for a while now and i enjoyed every minute of play time i get. especially with all those wonderful mods that you guys put up. Its been a blast blowing everything up. however, since SF2NA came out. somehow i decided to try the harder flight model(normal) in an attempt to enhance my skill.... im ok with the most of it... but i almost threw my laptop after a series of crashes on the carrier. For three nights ive spent a couple of hours trying to land on the damn thing and im either too short and hitting the water most of the time or im flying past the carrier. i mannaged to get the back wheels on the deck a couple of times but im probably too far out and missed the traps. basically im no good at landing. You see im short tempered and headstrong(stupid). i can't seem to get the patience to figure out the speed, glide slope angle of desent or whatever in which i have to go by. you cant really see the carrier when your landing keeping the nose at an angle like the A.I. does. So if you kind people have time. I wish to be guided When should i start to slow the plane down? what speed? what height? (im using the left panel as reference seen my eye sight is bad and i cant really work out the instruments) When should i engage the flaps, airbrake, landing gear and hook? how much throttle do i use? Btw, how do you judge your distance from the carrier since there no target square on it with distance reference like ACs does? How do you keep it straight on the carrier when the freakin rudders does only seem to take you pointing at direction while the entire plane is going on the direction it wants? Im not sure if the difficulty is because im just using my keyboard instead of a proper flight stick but the since its a laptop i feel that's a bit off. I really love the game and i think i will love it even more when im able to land that stupid boat. Oh yeah. i mostly fly the F-14s, both TW and Mirage Factory. F-8's, then the F-4's and the rest. Much appreciation. Thanks.

Well said. I feel the same way. The process of creation is very tedious and more times than not things doesn't go the way you planned. And often it's easy to miss out on some. On my part i'll gladly pay the $30 just for the F-14 avionics alone. I believe its the only one out there that closely simulates it. That alone would have probably taken half of their development resource. Give it time. TW has always gambled like this. As soon as he gets some breathing room something good will come up.

hi nice work man. b ut i have a problem with the payload. mos Jap planes and some allied doesnt carry any. i tried loading bunyaps weapons pack/ ww2 weapons pack, 06 patch and 08 patch. run the different weapons editor changed the availability and still cant get them to carry weapons. any suggestions?

Alright i just hae to get Capun to accept my application for DL on his site. thanks Wrench big help. Just as you said. im now able to access the philippine terrain and flew the zero around. thanks!

Aw.. so basically if i want to play with the terrain i have to delete all modern jets and like download all files stated in the Battle of the philippines http://combatace.com/files/file/7014-battle-of-the-philippines-1941-42-v11/ and install it like a separate game from the one with the all modern jets? thank you so much wrench!

Why didn't i think of that!? its so simple that now i feel so stupid. thanks a bunch. you just saved me a lot of AB fuel thanks!

Dear Wrench, I downloaded the Philippines terrain and added it to WOE oct08 patch however every time i selected it as map for missions the game crashes. i read the readme file and all it say is copy the named folder to the terrain folder and the objects folder to object however the zip file only contains 1 folder which is Philippines. I looked around and downloaded the one from AVSIM, DL the objects and objects update. even borrowed WOV to see if its just not woe compatible but as it is its still doesn't work. I got the F-8 Philippine Air Force skin and would love to skim and bump into trees with. Add some carrier and do carrier mission on those islands. So if you have time i hope you can help me out. thanks!

i found the HUDDATA.ini but im not sure what to do with it? theres nothing that seems to suggest how im gonna inludes the airbrakes text on normal/easy or remove the target text on easy. anyone?

Hi MIGBuster, thanks for the reply. Im playing WOE/WOI. I dont know i can only get the airbrakes on/off label on top in easy HUD config. Where can i find the HUDDATA.ini. is it possible for you to tell me which part i need to change and to what? Thanks again.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for this. I kinda have a shot memory span so i tend to forget the last thing i did most of the time, especially when deploying the airbrakes. Setting the HUD on easy lets me have flight info especially the Airbrakes ON/OFF displayed on screen, however it also clutters the entire screen with hundred of RED/BLUE text which is really distracting. Can someone please tell me if i can have the HUD setting on Normal/Hard but still keep that all important flight info (Airbrakes ON/OFF)on screen? Thanks!

Don't get me wrong. I love the ODS campaign! it offers so much than the original. I'm very thankful of that you guys even released than for free. Its probably just a a fancy preference on my part and i don't mean to remove any value to your work. Its just for some reason i like the Traditional Medal Screen makes me feel that im really receiving an award. Please don't be sad or offended. You guys did a remarkable job on it and no one and nothing (even this minor fancy of mine) can take away. Thanks for the reply. Hope to see much more from you guys! (If it wasn't for the legalities you could probably sell ODS as a complete package. would sell much better than WOI.)

Hi everyone. I love the Operation Desert Storm Campaign mod. the number of aircraft and the campaign itself is excellent. however i prefer the simpler Main menu and options screen of WOE especially the third wires medal box with the attached paper and script. is there a way to keep the mod and just change the display to the original when you click on the medal in the pilot records? thanks

what if i want to add this weapon rail on the F-14D mod to i have to place SystemName[009]=F14D or still retain SystemName[009]=F14A?
