SayethWhaaaa

Hey, just come across a problem with my weapons editor. Somehow I've killed my Weapons Editors both for WOI and the Non WOI games. For some reason, the program works like normal when I change the compatibility to Win98, but when the second I click on the "open" button, it closes down. Has anyone come across this? I've looked in the KB, but all of those solutions work fine... Anyone come across this?

I'm hoping Nawaz Sharif has no role to play. If he's re-elected, Pakistan's right back where it started with a corrupt leaders and a "jobs for the boys" mentality.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/08/18/2339417.htm "...brings to a close a critical period in Pakistan's history," - British Foreign Secretary David Milliband. That's a little premature, innit?

Hmmm... I'm having the same problem with a few others, but not the TW series. Getting the Nvidia drivers doesn't solve the problem in my experience. I think it's an inherent Nvidia issue. I'll have a look around for you too.

Wasn't it one of the Victims of Marcelo's great HD crash a while ago? I thought he was doing one along with the other variants. I could be wrong though.

HERE'S something interesting that happened overnight. Hope she has a speedy recovery. To continue reporting was pretty courageous!

This just in on ABC (Australia). Have a looksee HERE The reporter, Matt Brown, is known as being a very factual, thorough, independent and respected journalist.

That's not taking into account CAS crews operating close to front lines to minimise turnaround time. Personally, I don't mind the distances involved unless I'm using a helicopter and the AO is 1000kms away. Then I get annoyed! :yes:

If we had the Civilization series back in the forties, I could think of about 50 million people who might have had a second chance at life...

I wasn't talking about Iraq dude, I was thinking more along the lines of places like Grenada, Kosovo and Nicaragua being okay to intervene, but Rwanda and Sudan for example being untouchable. Besides, there are more parallels with Kosovo in the case of S-Ossetia and I can't see what the difference is really? But then again, I've been stuck out in the field for the past three days so I haven't been able to look it up. :yes: I definitely think there is a something different about the US media reports and the non US ones. We've been listening to Deutsche Welle, Radio Netherlands, ABC (Oz, not US), NPR, BBC World Service and Sky News. Just about all outlets covered the events from a relatively balanced viewpoint, speaking about what had been happening, what exactly the significant players have been saying, basically reporting as it happens. But only the US media reports seemed to all be distinctly negative towards Russia, talking about their disproportionate response, how Russia was trying to show the west how they are perceived to be weak, and generally stating how Russia is the aggressor in this situation. Now what I expect a certain level of spin from US media outlets (especially when it comes to the Presidential campaign!), I was surprised to hear how things were so spun out of shape or omitted completely; either accidentally or otherwise, I'm not a conspiracy theorist nutjob, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Things like the President Sarkozy was going in and "demanding a cease fire" on NPR, however, on BBC, DW and ABC here, he was "meeting the parties to formulate a cease fire." On BBC about how President Saakashvili was advised by US officials in the previous weeks about not doing anything to provoke the Russians into acting against the Georgians, yet nothing about this on US outlets. Something like 2 or 3 rockets (artillery) hit the town of Gori and there was speculation from the report in the morning (around 7:30am my time) all through to the arvo, yet only NPR confirmed these as a Russian attack, and that was about 10am my time. Where are they getting their reports from and how come no one else reported anything about this until about five hours later? And then there were little things like Meeechelle Norris on NPR talking to analysts and constantly referring to PM Vladamir Putin's response, despite Dmitry Medvedev being the president of Russia! I mean, speculate all you want about Putin being the power behind the throne in the Kremlin NPR, but you can't report it as fact... Is this just a left over from the Cold war? I mean, the US was the target of a nation for 50 years in a tense, ideological struggle, I can understand how these attitudes develop, but this quite a chasm of difference about the same story.

I do have to say, it's bloody ironic listening to the US administration condeming Russia's actions as "attempting to orchistrate a regime change in Georgia." I mean, that took big brass ones, IMHO. It's interesting listening to what's the Georgians and Russians are saying, respectively. I think the only statements I've heard that I think that are lacking in spin the most are the statements I'm hearing on the BBC from Georgian and S-Ossetian refugees.

Did the easy AI kick your a$$ when you first played it?? One of the things I like about this is that you're really under the gun from word go, but I still haven't figured out to use the Soviets. They kinda get short changed on defences. Their bunkers have too short a vision field so tanks come in and nail them without fear of respite...

Vietnam's been done, look at the excellent (now very old) Vietcong for that. What about the Korean War. I think I've seen a whole 2 (count 'em) Korean War games! Yeah, Treyarch only seem to do WWII versions of CoD. If IW went back to making WW2 versions, I'd be disappointed.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/story/0,...5014117,00.html Its almost like watching politicians who get busted doing something stupid, only to blame it on alcohol... And yet, people seem willing to believe this shyte. I can't figure out who's dopier...

The SM has a new FCS, newer flt-by-wire, newer multimode digital computer, full glass cockpit using colour, not monochrome displays, it's supposed to be using the Lyulka AL-35F engines, but I'm not 100% on that as I've heard that they initially were supposed to be engined with the AL-31FPs that the Su-30s use. It's supposed to be using the Phazotron N010 Zhuk-27 radar as well, but the VVS is keen on upgrading most Su-27s to use the passive electronic scanned arrays (depending on availability of funding). A lot of the systems used in the Su-27SM upgrade were more recent variants systems tested in the Su-35, but because of the scarcity of funding and the staggered implementation of upgrades (and new technology), it's hard to tell. Plus there's an Su-27SKM (SMK?) that uses a few different systems again...

He was taking the p*ss. They were terrified that anyone was going to leak details of the freakin' BORING opening at the 2000 Olympics that dug up every damned Aussie cliché and stereotype this side short of Croc Dundee. Their measures were pretty draconian. I'm really surprised that BOCOG's was leaked. If anyone was busted attempting to leak it, they would have been jailed (Gaoled? ) for sure! The Chinese police don't mess around!

A little tidbit, don't know how well this is known. But you know how every Olympics how a bid deal is made of the running of the flame and how the flame is lit? Well, the Nazis started that way back in 1936....

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/31/2320337.htm Sounds a bit like sour grapes to me...

So the IsraelME one is set up for anti-ship sorties...?

I've got a feeling that Anti-Ship needs to be rejigged from the vanilla install maybe as when I undertake them, they're de-facto recon sorties as there are no sea-based targets, 9 times out of 10 it's over land and the mission objective is complete once I complete the way point. If this has been talked about(here, I'm not active at TW forums), then I've missed it too.

Closest I could think of would be Civilisation 3, ventrillo and 7 other humans...

Just a heads up, when you see that new variant of yours pared on the tarmac, you'll notice that the canards will have disappeared. Don't worry, they'll still show up when you fly the plane again. I can't remember why this happens, but I think it has something to do with static planes not carrying payloads.

I mean, he just randomly tackles the dude... I mean, I could vaguely, sorta, kinda understand if the cyclist had been egging him all day and the cop snapped (even though it's still WAY outta line!) but it's like he just said to himself "Yep, this one" and knocked the dude on his arse! Like it was for sh*ts and giggles!

If you follow the Fast Cargo's method in the canards installation pack (like you did in order to add the canards in the first place) you can pretty much add it to a Flanker, rename it and have different versions. Try this: Step 1. Copy the plane and add whatever skin you like and rename it (just like you have so far.) When you fly this plane, you should notice it uses the canards from the first plane you copied. Step 2. There should be three or four files you have to add to the OBJECTS/AIRCRAFT folder. Off the top of my head I believe they are Su27Pylons, Su27Canards, Su27Canards.lod, Su27Canards.out. I'm not too sure on the names as I don't have access to the files at the moment. Rename the files you added to the OBJECTS/AIRCRAFT folder to whatever you like. HOWEVER!!!! You have to use exactly the same number of digits in the file name (11). Eg. Renaming it to Su35Canards, Su31Canards etc will be fine as they both use 11 digits. Renaming it to Su35BMCanards won’t work as adding the ‘BM’ increases the filename to 13 digits. Step 3. Here’s the sorta tricky part. Your plane and your canards share the same name (Su-33/35/37/whatever) but it won’t work in game just yet. You’ll need to download a hex editor (I used this one: http://www.softcircuits.com/cygnus/) and open the canards.lod with it. Once in, cycle down the list until you come across any entries for Su27Canards. I think there were two. Rename them to your new name (Su33/35/37whatever), save and exit. Fingers crossed! I’m pretty sure it should work from there. To be sure, check your aircraft’s data.ini for any active references of Su27Canards and rename them accordingly. I thought FastCargo said that they were all edited out, but just check to be sure. I’ll write up a clear, concise step by step guide from the knowledge base real soon, but I’ll edit this as it could be clearer, but I'm at work at the moment. If anyone notices something I've missed, feel free to point it out and I'll edit it in. Lemme know how you go Koushiro!

Wow! At first glance I have to say... what a douchebag. But that's a first glance.
