MigBuster

You can set the jet to be invulnerable until you have learnt a few things If you have stuck everything on ACE level straight away then you wont get very far - this sim is modelled on the real world - so there is a lot you have to learn. 1. Go through the training lessons many times - they can not be skipped - you need to know that jet inside out 2. read the manual - but ignore what it says about avoiding SAMs and missiles, and dogfighting for that matter - because its worthless information. 3. Use dogfighting mode to practise guns only and BVR with AMRAAMs so you see how it works - and yes you will need to practise a lot - and use a TrackIR! It takes most rookies some time before they can start to get one over the ACE Mig-29 in guns only - what you need to do is search at forums for tactics - its the only way you will know what to do At ace level - if you think you can just fly into their airspace and take on their IADS (like I used to think) then you will die everytime - For example a single Mig-21 with an R-77 is a threat you cant ignore - if it gets to within 30 miles of you start thinking about diverting your route or taking it on (which will depend on your current situation).

Falcon 4: AF - if you have the time to invest - theres a lot to learn There isnt much choice out there for what you want - although Lead Pursuit (the F4:AF developers) are supposed to be developing a new sim in line of Falcon with better graphics amongst other things.

[FlightControl] ......... YawDamper=0.0 GunBoresightAngle=0 <---- anyone know if this affects the AI gun aiming? RocketBoresightAngle=0

In the data.ini for whatever aircraft [LeftGun] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunTypeName=30MM_ADEN4 InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN MuzzlePosition=-0.563,2.584,-0.995 LightPosition=-0.563,2.584,-0.995 AimAngles=0.0,-0.8,0.0 <---- Minus middle figure moves the firing down MaxAmmo=150 EjectShells=FALSE MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition=

still OT Yep - theres a good chance you will actually have to learn what every single switch does in that cockpit depends how much you like F-14s really though

Just had a look and WOE cat does actually have the desert airfields and some mosques in it - so it may now include the files you need - so see Gocads reply above

At a guess it may need to use the desert.cat from the original Strike Fighters project1/Gold - basically the GermanyCE.cat in WOE may not have the correct files in it. Youd be best to place a link to where you got this mod so it can be confirmed

Nothing commercial - except maybe AceCombat :) Not that id want to promote it (dont use it myself )but I think Red Viper (goes over Falcon 4.0) has a 2D and 3D cockpit for the F-14 made by Aeyes - not sure how good the flight model is though: http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showthr...ht=f-14+cockpit

For Falcon 4: Allied Force only (theres a first) and free too - so bow to the god they call Zerk!! http://zerk.110mb.com/

Was hoping the new patch may improve some things You could try downloading this Mod here: http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/CharlesEAW/sfpage.html Its for WW2 bomber formations - Ive no idea if it stops them banking too much - but you could probably take what hes done and see if you can change the US Bomber formation to your liking.

Out of the box: I actually like the stock WOE campaigns - and theres some great jets in it. WOV comes with carrier ops Theres a great mod called Yankee Air Pirate for WOV if you like the realistic side of the Vietnam War WOI is the most advanced currently and if you like the historic Arab Israeli battles then its the one to get. Bear in mind that the next patches for WOV and WOE will bring them to the same standard as WOI. Also a lot of the mods should work in any of the games

Interesting - back when I last bought a Gaming Mag - probably for the Amiga back in about 1990 the good flight sims like Falcon and Flight of the Intruder at the time were always given briliant reviews and were considered mainstream and cool to have. Guess combat sims were a new concept back then to most people though. Cant say ive read or taken much notice of gaming reviews since - they are usually based on the persons own opinion - or influenced from on high - so they mean Jack S***. When I was a kid I always went for the game with the best graphics or one that had the best name like Robocop etc - but I was always bored of them in a few weeks - and graphics are meaningless if the game play is crap. However these games are always the most expensive and are guranteed money spinners for the developers so they aint gonna whine. Now ive been playing the SF series since 2003 and am still playing it - so for me this 1 man operation has managed to keep my attention and succeed where all the big software companies have failed badly. It is like the ultimate perfect everlasting game that I wished so many others would be when I was younger. This only applies to me though - you cant force anyone to like a game (though you can brainwash kids into buying games based on blockbusters ) People like what they like!

Yes - you would just extract the skin for the drop tank in question - then repaint it using something like Photoshop or GIMP

Typical - Just checked it from work and can get to it fine - so its just me, the gateway or AOL stopping me at home

If you mean skins then you need to get and learn either Photoshop (not free) or GIMP (free) amongst others

Gawd - theres nothing wrong with pushing people in the direction of the KB or the search function also IMO - its an essential thing with games with such a large and complicated scope as these - if you dont understand whats there then come back and ask. For example some rookie was asking me to make a video of how to beat the F-22 in Falcon 4 - despite the fact that he could have found vids and threads on the subject in about 5 mins - nothing difficult to understand in any of that really. Although I dont agree with sending people to look out of spite - I do agree that anyone who comes on here should get in the habit of searching for things themselves for the long term - particularly as no one is obliged or paid to actually give any help out what so ever!. So yes he who doesnt ask remains a fool forever (old quote) - but he who cant be arsed to use the search remains in the dark forever (new quote). that being said I do help people myself if I know the answer.

Happy Birthday to you sir - and many of em!

You either have a dodgy CD, or there is something on your PC stopping it from installing - the game runs fine on Windows XP. Lead Pursuit seem to have shut down their website(well I havnt been able to get to it for weeks) - so I wonder if they have just pulled all AF support also. You could try searching over at frugals to see if they can offer any advice - thats the main F4 forum

You normally get a message of some kind if the campaign has finished. what day are you on? If it sits there with planning.... on the screen then it probably means your runway has been bombed and it cant frag any flights, because you cant take off until the runway is repaired.

Remember this well - died laughing when I first saw it - thought it was supposed to be serious at the time So Robin put the chopper in Bat "Auto-hover mode" before he got out then??

Yes they are totally different Falcon 4.0 was the original game Microprose Game - and any superpacks will only work with that - although superpacks are old hat - the 2 running mods for Falcon 4 are FF5(RedViper) and Open Falcon Falcon 4.0 Allied Force is a totally revamped and largely changed version and must be treated as being a completely separate game to the above. You can only use the official Lead Pursuit patches over Allied Force - there are no extra terrains or Campaigns for it You need to uninstall the whole lot now then reinstall Allied Force only. RedViper will work over Allied Force apparently - although it may not be very stable.

ww1verdun_data.ini goes in .....\Terrain\wwiVerdun\ the other goes in ..........\Flight\

It just needs to go in the correct folder - which file have you extracted? When you extract a file from a CAT it just makes a copy of the file (you cant add or remove files to CAT files) - so when it goes in the correct folder it takes priority over the original in the CAT - if that makes sense
