The radar remedial project was a conflicting program that seems to have got priority over Pave Gat at a certain point in the testing - this delayed the Pave Gat program which didnt finish being tested until July 1971 - and it seems they wanted to use it but Air Force systems command moans about the cost, TAC moans about the weather in SEA at the time, and some other high up brass indicate that 90 days testing was not enough. the test results are stated as demonstrating that with 4000 rounds the B-57G could hit 20 targets - 3 times as many as the bomb loaded version. Not only that could avoid AAA better by firing at an offset. This is information from a declassified 1978 report (photocopy) on the entire Tropic Moon III project

Pave Gat was the name for this project as part of Tropic Moon II - in about 1967 they trialed the AN/AXQ-5 system that consisted of a sensor slewed 20mm gatling gun in he bomb bay of the B-57G. The system actually worked pretty well - but was never used in combat - due to possibly a conflict between that project and a radar remedial program - and later cost overruns are stated. In combat over SEA the B-57G only carried bombs (Internal guns also removed).

I would say their stats do affect their performance - in campaigns I take rookies out on easy missions to bump their stats up - but the high skilled ones do seem better - just difficult to anaylse whats really happening. The game normally chooses the best wingmen by stats by default

This truly is looking great - already well beyond expectations!

Nice - its been around a while - for those that can afford 3 monitors Saw a vid of somebody running DCS A-10C on one of these linked to 3 x 1080p projectors! - which gives out a massive display - only problem with projectors is the cost of the bulbs, the noise they make and the heat they give out!

The stage is being set

Brilliant - great collection of classic Aircraft

One of the reasons I hand pick which weapons I want in the game to keep the number down - because going through a large drop down list for each Jet is a nightmare.

The ones I posted above are just skins though. I was just making you aware that that mod in your link has old ini files in it like the F-16_Data.ini etc that might have been changed over the past year by later patches.

Nice find!

Right if you have a merged install the F-16A Netz will already be in all of the games. to test this - if you open up SF2E and do a single mission you should be able to select it from the Aircraft list and play a mission - can you do that? If you can then it shows everything is ok. Although flyable in a single mission - by default the F-16 will not be in any campaigns - therefore you need to add it to a campaign manually - or using the campaign customiser. You will of course always have the default camo skin only - so you can drop in the add on skins from the link above. You can also create a separate F-16 if you like - fairly easy to do manually - or you could try the link from Malibu for this also - but the ini files in that mod are already out of date.........anyway

Happy Birthday Storm

Looks amazing

What patch level of Strike Fighters 2 are you running? - latest is Nov 2011 Just because Windows 7 is okay and other apps run fine does not mean your Graphics drivers are up to date - do you know what card you have? click on the start button , type dxdiag.exe in the search programs and files box, let the program start and run then save the output to your desktop using the Save all information button , open the file you saved with notepad then copy + Paste the output here.

1 - WOE and WOV could be merged - but its only those 2 that can be merged in the SF1 series. You dont have SF2 by mistake (you would know because the SF2 Games are very different now) 2. No - The very last patches (2008) for these old games fixed a few things so they will work with Vista/7 3. Yes a lot of the cat files from WOE did contain files from WOV - and yes you could use them with the right tweaks - cant remember though whether you could use the carriers - think you should be able to. As to how they differ internally pass - there are a few differences - the Knowledgebase or old thread might help there. For a separate mod install in SF1 make a copy of one of the games entire folder and file structure - then rename the exe file in the copy and use that. 4. anything here: http://combatace.com/forum/247-thirdwire-prop-heads/ http://combatace.com/forum/288-thirdwire-prop-heads-sf2/

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Grrr

:lol: :lol: Judging by that article which even quotes Carlo ***p as a source - I'm just impressed they managed to put a photo of an F-35 on there - tbh not sure they would recognize the difference between the F-35 and the Space Shuttle! Well better scrap the F-16s as well then quickly!

The default skin for a jet in single missions was always no 1 in the f-18e/f.ini for example [TextureSet001] Directory=USAFGrey1 Name=USAF Grey Nation=USAF StartDefaultDate=1 <-----------also check Specular=0.400000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.200000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE DecalNumberEnd=199 In a campaign the skin should be defined for each squadron in the campaign_data.ini [AirUnit001] AircraftType=F-15A Squadron=7TFS ForceID=1 Nation=USAF DefaultTexture=USAFGrey1 <---------------- BaseArea=Spangdahlem Airbase

RIP to the brave crew - those F-14s should be in a museum!

There is a solo A-6 mission in YAP1 that gets you landing on a pitching moving deck I seem to remember.

Many Happy Returns :drinks:

Its beyond belief they were still charging down machine guns with horses in 1918! - utter suicide!
