So did you take out the weaponsdata.dat file and it now works? Basically if you take that file out the game and it works - you are using the wrong editor The game will default to use the original loadout file which is why any extra weapons wont now be there. you need to compile the weaponsdata.ini with the correct weapons editor What version have you got SF patched up to? - will say on the main menu

missile object.dll error was caused by using a wrong editor amoung other things - if you remove weapondata.dat from the SF "weapons" folder does it then load up? Drop tank names have to be specific to the name show in the jets xxxx_data.ini ie this if from an f-104 [RightWingtipStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=2 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=3.304,-0.176,-0.513 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,-90.0 LoadLimit=250.0 AllowedWeaponClass=IRM,FT AttachmentType=NATO,W_GERMANY ModelNodeName= PylonMass= LaunchRailNodeName=missile_rail_wt_right LaunchRailHeight=0.15 LaunchRailMass=24.95 FuelTankName=Tank170_F104 <------- the drop tank it can use [LeftWingStation] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=3 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-1.883,0.400,-0.665 AttachmentAngles=0.0,-3.0,0.0 EjectVelocity=0.0,0.0,-2.0 LoadLimit=500 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,CGR,ASM,IFP,FT AttachmentType=NATO,W_GERMANY ModelNodeName=pylon_left_inner PylonMass=72.58 PylonDragArea=0.02 FuelTankName=Tank195_F104 <------- the drop tank it can use hope that helps

cool - will add it to my other razbam fixes :close_tema:

Only use it in stock form - the bombs only appear when I actually drop them though

End of an era - but surely its critical now that they get someone good in charge- fingers crossed

See the Vista thread in the KnowledgeBase should apply to FE

What settings do you play on? - in options you can change "flight flight" to normal, easy or Hard - so if you are new to this then try out some different settings. To change the actual flight model for individual jets - well thats described in the aircrafts xxxxxx_data.ini file - so if you know much about Aero engineering you can just go right on ahead and change it Will assume you installed this in WOE yes?

Only found one called UMC2 or something - it does open 3rd wire LODs and skins but I thought it was even more annoying - so i ditched it- it was obviously written for other formats with 3rd wire as a side - but it did mention in the read me he needed to work out the LOD format header or something Someone said you can take out some of the menus out to start the game quicker - though not sure what they removed. suppose you could do this to a test install of wo*

No idea - but If you can then the keys would be exactly the same as you use when in the F-16 I would think.

So you get no sound at all? you dont even get the music at the menu stage? Assume you have been through the steps in the Vista thread? But other games work okay? and you can play music etc? Thing is the game works out of the box so I dont think anyones ever had to change those files above - although yes they are correct and should have those symbols in them since your askin - shame TW dont support Vista yet - Ive no idea if there is anything you can change that would get it working tbh. Have you tried any earlier drivers for that sound card - latest drivers are not always the best.

You dont need to lock onto anything in this game - Point jet in general direction of a radar and fire if you have RWR and it has a flashing square on it point the jet towards that etc Best to standoff a bit - the Shike or Standard ARM dont seem that good close in - although they often miss anyway. must be loads of old threads on ARMs etc.

No you need something like FRAPs or Gamcam if you want to record the game play

Excellent - well done Jimmy!

Stigler - We thank you for your work - it is no doubt of excellence coming from an experienced modeller as yourself. There are teams/groups within the SF community (think Dave already said this) that do strive for much more realism and accuracy as they can get out of the sim - so potentially you could join one of them - or even set up your own subgroup to meet your requirements. You can probably understand why everyone goes on the defensive when you show up - even I remember the Gina thread - harsh Criticism of freeware and people that dont meet your standards only just isnt on - for the many reasons you have been told time and time again.

Cool - thanks for the insight from someone who actually knows

Back for 1 post only :) Typhoid we expect better from you sir - does anyone actually know what type of boats these were? A few months back when what looked like Iranian Dingies buzzing around US warships I too laughed and thought where was the threat there - but was told they had some pretty handy anti ship missiles and were very in fact a very big threat to the ships. Although no way of knowing its possible Georgia could possess the hardware.

Had they actually flown them at this point? looks like they had just studied them on paper - otherwise he would have picked up on the underpowered and limited engines the F-14A had. The statement "the F-14A always wins against the F-15A" is not shown in its true context - so I will assume that means on paper specifications only. Bit like the RAF concluding the Tornado ADV always wins against the F-14/F-15 because of better range,cheaper cost and job retention. :)

still no idea tbh - http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/m...ead.main/61374/

LOL - I pity the fools in Hollywood for not casting the F-4 instead! - although difficult to say how many hearts the poor old A-6 actually captured looking like that :) Never heard of that till now - although 1979 - probably why - gets good reviews on the IMDB thou

Oops - I forgot one of the F-4s biggest appearances came in Top Gun - near the end on a tiny photo with Pete and his Dad standing in front of it - the ultimate snub of a great jet even the F-16 got a bigger role - Yes I have seen it too many times it would seem

The F-18 got a good showing in Independance day where it defended the earth with valour and distinction - and even took out that massive spaceship - surely that film was bigger than all 23 of the Iron Eagles put together? But then again I suppose it was seen as more sci fi maybe and nobody noticed the Hornets :) As for the F-4 - gets a small role in Die Hard 2, Flight of the Intruder, maybe a minute showing in we were soldiers and...... The F-15 kicked A in Air Force 1 - but again just a small cameo - surely the original Transformers gave it some glory for us kids though?

And what point are you making here exactly? - that someone who plays with the cockpit switched off should be made an example of publically by you and anyone who agrees with you? You can shake your head all you like - personally I have spent years turning WOV into an experience close to how pilot accounts tell it including accurate loadouts etc etc. - but if someone wants to fly their jet without a cockpit - they can and will NOT be singled out and brought down by you! The point you are missing about this series, everytime you come over here, is written down for you in black and white in many posts - but you choose to ignore it and carry on with your 1 man crusade to put down anyone who doesnt want to manage their oil pressure! Im sure this has been said before - If Targetware is so great why do you keep coming over here?

Lol - Everyone knows the Hercules im sure - but if your going down that route why not The Douglas CH-47/AC-47/DC-3 Skytrain (Dakota)

"French President Nicolas Sarkozy has agreed an outline plan with Russia and Georgia to try to resolve their crisis. A key element calls for all forces to return to the areas where they were before fighting broke out last week. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili suggested some details were unacceptable and the French mediator admitted difficulties lay ahead. Earlier, Russia announced its military activity in the area was completed and witnesses saw troops pulling out. The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Georgia says fighting in the South Ossetia region does now seem to have ended. But despite the diplomacy and apparent withdrawal, rhetoric on both sides remained fiery and analysts were predicting a long road to peace. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7557457.stm And thats me signing off from this thread - and politics for a while - many thanks for the varied and interesting viewpoints from everyone.

Not denying anything tbh- Well I guess in that case the UK press is lying through its teeth then - and it wasn't a complete disaster after all if you say and everyones happy - glad thats sorted - silly us. "I dont understand how things work" - makes absolutely no difference to how things look over here - and that statement portrays how Bushs image and actions are portrayed over here whether you like it or not. I will over look this because I think you may be speaking on emotion here.
