  1. You resized the skins to 512 x 512 but they are not appearing is that the problem? RE the weapons - no the game doesnt have a weapons folder by default - you just create that. There is no end of threads on this subject if you get stuck btw - and look in the knowledge base too
  2. Iron bombs - I don't do Nukes :)
  3. Nice dream but would be very surprised - if anything it would be new F-16/F-15s
  4. dunno - It came in service around 1952 and was a very good jet fighter compared to other jets of that age.
  5. No the AI will fly that model as well - well with a few changes like more fuel.
  6. Happy Birthday gwar!

    Happy Birthday!
  7. Yes have noticed it - but not sure what it does Was thinking it was there to take account of merged installs - If a Person only has SF2V they will only have the A-4C_65 - and not the A-4B_65 which comes with SF2 only I think
  8. Really nice - love the Blue Diamonds one!
  9. the right process is to look and see if there is something about that might tell you http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=44027
  10. Have you made a copy of the cat file in question?? - because i would recommend you do before dropping it onto the catpack thingy Try running it from a different folder like your desktop maybe
  11. Finally Found

  12. See section 1 here 64 http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...st&p=312185
  13. Anti Radiation Missiles

    You can only run the latest patch with the correct version of Direct X 9 - assuming your system can handle the later game that is
  14. tbh I thought the over optimistic MiG performance was there to give people more of a challenge so i wasnt too bothered - there are ways to beat them still - but there were some ridiculous things I observed that totally went against everything else Id seen written - so if various test pilots / projects and people who encountered them in combat tell me you had to be superman to turn the thing over a particular speed I would tend to go with that to some degree.
  15. There is a lot of conflicting reports it seems - GV has provided the flight manual (in Russian)- which is going to be fairly accurate - although doesn't mean it wasn't written before some of the other issues were found out in combat I guess! It does confirm that some MiG-17Fs had all boosted controls - but this doesnt eliminate the force and effort required to move the stick at speed - which may explain why slightly built VPAF pilots avoided such encounters. One thing that I suspected was out was the climb performance in which I can go from 2000ft clean (at 400KIAS) to 17000ft in about 24 seconds (~70degree pull up) - the F-4C/D in clean and the same test beats this be maybe 2 seconds ?? The manual and other sources confirm its max climb times as 0 to 16600ft in around 2.1 minutes (clean) see last 2 pages here http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.p...91&start=88
  16. got to say - great work Dels! - any cockpits much appreciated by all
  17. RIP Sir Bobby Robson

    I had no idea of the Cancer battle he was going through for 18 years!! - a great character and example to others.
  18. SA-2s

    You should have noticed the SAMs have different models - the SA-2B and C were always easy to avoid in WOV - but the SA-2F was a bit of a death ray unless you used your "super chaff". It looks like the SA-2F has been toned down (and the chaff) since then but you still need to be careful with the F models. There is an SA-2E now by default although havnt had much dealings with that. From what some Pilots say from that era they were relatively to beat "if you saw them coming" - and quite a few different jamming methods were used in that period which ultimately made them fairly ineffective.
  19. Afghanistan

    Well could just say thats women for ya :) You are right people over here cant understand - and do take this current social climate for granted. Theres plenty like that in the UK - just don't take it personally - especially if they are obviously that naive to the point they believe the press.
  20. It does but you need a few fixes from a column 5 thread - there have been other threads on this subject so you should find it easily
  21. No it doesnt - Mike Shower in an F-15C (1999 Allied Force) fired 3 at one MiG-29 - 2 fired initially which both failed - so he then fired a third from about 6 miles which hit - not sure which version though.
  22. Kremlin films!! mite have to find me a subtitled version
  23. Well 1 factor no doubt - but if there was more of a threat (particularly in the air ) in the modern wars more tanks would have been jettisoned. Certainly some of the F-15s in 1991 dropped the tanks before firing Sparrows. The Israelis in the 1960s jettisoned their tanks for fun when there was a reported enemy jet nearby according to pilots - and dropped so many it had to be restricted to only when a confirmed Arab jet was sighted due to supplies getting low.
  24. Now F-35 is in a bit of trouble

    Yes you might be right there :)
