  1. Havnt lived there myself but thought it may change a bit - was more in line of whether the new Patches for WOE/WOV would allow it?
  2. Any plane beaming a pulse doppler stands a great chance of breaking your lock (especially pre 1980s tech)- I dont know whether the real Sparrow would still be able to guide after the lock has been broken for a certain amount of time and you locked the plane up again.
  3. The flight control system cant prevent everything - although a flat spin is certainly something you cant do in Falcon
  4. Does WOI come with changing seasonal terrains now like the FE expansion pack?
  5. Reinstall the Service pack and patch only (in the correct order) then try it.
  6. Windows itself has been updated a lot since WOV came out initially - so it would have worked back then - but have never tested an unpatched version since.
  7. 1. Saw a thread about that at thirdwire the other day - TK did research the subject and took it off - I think the majority of F-4s didnt have it or something 2. Would have thought you can stick the hangar music back in if you miss it that much :)
  8. Is there a reason for not adding any patches? raises the question if WOV actually works in its distributed form. Suggest you install the patches - assumed you had
  9. Hows everyone finding the AI in WOI? Was thinking of dling it today but http://www.thirdwire.com/ seems to be down at the mo Had to reinstall my graphics drivers yesterday - and tested WOV out to check it ran ok. Have the Uber AI mod and new lethal flak mod - but they didnt stop me - even decided to down 3 x Mig 21s on my way home - they were all turning as well and trying to fight (in the best way they can) but I guess my stock A-7B was just to agile and fast for them. 2 with guns - 1 after firing both winders from the tail How did I get on his tail! - I should have been easy meat for those chumps! wasnt even using trackIR
  10. Its a radar guided missile - You need to get a radar lock first There is an article here - hope you can read it: http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_061a.html The Sidewinder is a heat seeker which is why you dont need the radar for that.
  11. Ahh the joys of 50s/60s jets - like the F-100 and F-104 practise, practise, practise and forget trying to just pull the stick back and trying to turn in a d/f Theres an article on A-G weps techniques from Andy Bush here that may help you http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_055a.html
  12. You need another version of Direct X - see the knowledge base. Or you have installed new weapons with the wrong weapons editor.
  13. This ones made the national news here - think its more to do with the amount of money they actually cost though! Lets hope this is the first and last B2 - there arnt that many of them anyway
  14. Didnt use the F-15 in WOE much - was just unfair on the poor Migs - sounds like things may have changed in that regards
  15. LOL - that would be a refreshing change - got an Airmedal in just about every completed mission in the others.
  16. That used to happen in Strike Fighters - though it used to bug and go white if you shot down too many - forget what the threshold was
  17. The Last Falcon?

    Nice thanks man - was this on the Lockheed Martin Site?
  18. Flight nights...

    Yes - it you mean this: One way is to install the game, Patch it fully, Make a copy of the entire game folder, Call it something like WOV_SP4_Modded or whatever, Then run your extra add on game from the .exe from within that new folder you have just created The game doesnt use the registry much so you can create as many installs from the original as you like You have to do this for any campaigns you want to install anyway btw
  19. Ah brings back memories - I was disapointed when the SFP1 manual said I could deploy a drag chute and it wasnt implemented Actually the Mig 25s deploy their chutes automatically when you land - which is much better in someways because you dont forget to deploy them and you dont deploy them to early.
  20. Looks as good as the Payware set - million times better than the stock terrain - have you got many lines at the tile edges?
  21. Yep okay - have loads of pics - will send you a pm
  22. Oz Defence reviews...

    Aw... I think the F-18F would be a great buy tbh - 1 plane with 10 x AIM120C-7s - sorted! Getting carriers is a bit of a trend at the mo - an international task force to any trouble spot in the world is the goal I suppose
  23. http://www.column5.us/sfchart.htm Thats some plane list there - 3 versions of the Hunter, Vautour, Mystere, A-4H - ace!!
  24. Cant believe there are still articles floating about on the subject http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EK...v38/ai_13077535
  25. HD-Day

    Well good point really - its not on my list - and I certainly wont be rushing out to buy a Blu-ray player until its been around for a while and the price has bottomed out. Now blue ray on a PS3 - through a friends 28" HD Widescreen TFT TV (about £2000) looks amazing I must admit. But then again my current TV - a Phillips 25" CRT - that cost £20 off a mate is never gonna be great. I Have a VHS/DVD combi player - only VHS records though because standard DVD recorders seem to expensive still and there are too many formats - and I have 2 PCs that can do this. Bought my first DVD film in 2004 and that was half price - so now as predicted my DVD and VHS collection is a worthless pile of plastic - worth about 50p each (if that) at a car boot sale! but then again its worthless pile of plastic anyway I suppose
