hahaha good find! so bad I feel tempted to play it

Cool - great work there in saving the jet - and lives/buildings - although he does jettison the tanks - do you think they have a predefined drop area? Also drops it right onto the very beginning of the runway! Falcon 4 simulates that glide experience okay judging from that - albeit with me crashing into the perimeter fence

and you tried this? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=26451 Assume you added patches to the game? does it hang in all versions?

Never played IL2 - but FE is a blast - I have the expansion pack and latest patch which improves things a lot over the initial out of box FE - for a start you can recover from spins - and some of the stupid AI behaviour was fixed So different syle of dogfighting to what im used to - prepare for massive dogfights - prepare to die a lot - the AI is pretty good!

Do you get any errors? Have you tried this: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12148

Terrible news - doesnt say the type so would assume F-15D?

Just saw this on the bbc site too - great stuff

Whatever campaign you have there - will assume it needs the desert.cat in SF - if so this may be of some use http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12230

Jeez - well at least it looks like things have improved in regards to fire control - if you read about the damage caused by previous accidental fires ie USS Oriskany for one. Suppose it also depends where the fire starts!

File Name: F-5C USAF Skoshi Tiger skin File Submitter: MigBuster File Submitted: 02 August 2008 File Category: F-5 Freedom Fighter Skins USAF Vietnam Skoshi (Small) Tiger Project skin 2 for the Mirage Factory F-5C Freedom Fighter.(1024x1024) Between 1965 and 1967 a single USAF squadron flew over 9000 sorties with the then new F-5C to evaluate its combat viability. The 3 phase Skoshi Tiger project included Combat Air Patrol and strike missions over North Vietnam - and ground attack/support missions over South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. New Camo scheme Higher res Fuel tank skins included Press the button below to download this skin and save it to your Desktop. Only tested in WoV but should also work in WoE/SFG/SFP1 at least Many thanks to the Mirage Factory for the fantastic F-5C model. Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.

Sounds like you are using the wrong version of the weapons editor to save the file The version of WOV you are running will determine the version you need - so what version of WOV are you running? btw this is in the wrong forum

lol Well with an existing jet in the skin there is a file called Decals.ini - open that up and you will see [Decal001] MeshName=vertical_stabilizer DecalLevel=1 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=A7TailL Position=-4.9,2.21 Rotation=0.0 Scale=4.5 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal002] etc Should be obvious where the decal goes via the Mesh name - you will see that the rotation , position and scale can be changed very accurately. An easy way to get positions is to skin a plane that already has a complete decals ini. If the original skinner hasnt used decals - then you may have to use trial and error - sometimes even changing the size or position can cause them to disapear or cause decal leak and other weird things.

wow - Havnt seen that for years - think I taped most of them first time around - around 1990 I think. Never saw much of Rob Newman again did we.

I dont think even Chuck Norris in make up could replace Mr T

Also depends on which program you use - if I was to write a how to it would be based on G.I.M.P because its free, open source and there are lots of tutorials on the web for the basics. However I will tell you that it will take a 100th of the time to actually do the decal though than it will to write a how-to - and even then people may still not get it. :close_tema: disclaimer: requests for tedious How-Tos are not on my list at the mo.

I have quite a few B/W photos and colour plates but nothing with much really close up detail - not any more detail then they already have I imagine.

They are developing the game from scratch - and its not going to be Open Source unless it becomes abandonware - they will be looking for skinners albeit "talented" ones though. The best of luck to them - they will need it over the coming years.

I must admit I thought the later Nam era missiles such as the AIM-9J would be much better - but for example out of 31 attempted launches in 1972 of the AIM-9J - only 4 scored kills - 23 missed and 4 stayed on the rail. Yes there are various reasons - such as ripple firing/ combat stress and firing out of parameters (range/ pulling too many Gs etc) but I can see why TK has perhaps given the missile that performance - he does (claim) to put in a lot of research into these things.

So which missiles do you need help with in particular?

yaaaay - long live c5!

But you can download files under 1MB okay? I suspect its something to do with you having a basic account - although im not sure what a basic account is now limited to tbh. Subscription is now in force to keep the site going - only found out recently we were funded by a single person all this time :)

Not a bad review - complains about useless missiles like all other newbies though - needs to learn how to use them more like!

Has this been brought up because everyone is still wondering which jet to put in Topgun 2 Theres a lot of affection for the F-14 it seems - and it would be great to be in the 80s again in some ways when it and others were in their prime. But no its 2008 - the missiles are too flippin good and the latest version of my beloved F-16 is called the QF-16
