MigBuster

Respect

About a year after it comes out as retail and the bugs are ironed out I will be right with ya - but have fun Shove it on an SSD to make it load faster - win 7 loaded in about 7 seconds to the DT when I tried it (3 of them were the BIOS screen)

You could also try the last patch Nov 2008 - because SF1 patched to the last level worked okay. http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads.htm

Progress

Never used that pack myself - if you are installing with LODEditor try running it with admin privileges and dont install the sim in program files. Janhas did some nice Weapon skins for AF if you need an alternative

Well with the WWW the evidence is down in writing - and despite posters thinking they are anonymous because they can.....choose a screen name - they can often be traced relatively easily with cooperation from the Sites owners. This might be one way to boost arrest statistics....which is all that matters.

The only way I can get good rates with series 1 which uses a single core only is to use the HDR mod - thats on an intel i7/6GB RAM/Ati HD5770. To improve on that you could get a High end GFX card - but cant guarantee Series 1 would actually be smooth. IMO - Ditch series 1 and go with SF2 which is actually programmed for multi core, win 7 and DX10 to get better performance out of modern systems.

The ILS and radio were always there in AF, and the threat/MSL volumes. Managed to get the ILS thing working today and found out how to switch on and adjust the HCMS, and found the pitot heat switch. The Checklists someone has done on the docs folder are really handy for a lot of the things - even the ramp start - no end of new buttons to press - not convinced the BIT testing is really that worthwhile tbh - I suppose in a campaign I guess that and tire wear might come into it. Like the HAF block 52+ with CFTs they stuck in the flight test mission - shame it seems to die on me and nose dive into the ground

I would just format the partition and put the stuff back in from your backup drive/disk.

Rest In Peace

I was ill that day and wasnt getting up - but my dad came in and switched the TV on and said the trade towers had been hit. It was strange at first watching the smoke rise up from these towers - almost surreal - news were saying it was a small aircraft - and they were showing people at the top looking out of the windows. I thought they would probably put the fire out - which didnt look that big and then rescue the people at the top. I then remember watching people start jumping - but it was really when everyone saw the other airliner go into the other tower that really put everything into perspective. I never ever thought the towers would fall - the photo in the paper the next day of a fireman running up the stairs inside the towers is something that sticks in my mind......

No CTDs as yet Radio comms - had to work that out for ramp starts so am getting there - I stuck all the checklists and PDFs on the iPhone using FileMagnet to refer to them during the sim - better than having loads of manuals everywhere and no space. I haven't sorted the ILS out yet - but have managed 2 out of 2 dodgy landings on the impossible mission - one time landing on he last quarter of the runway! - would like to think the ILS actually helps me in this because in AF I never bothered.

Some cool things Slave the Sniper pod to A-A radar (and also use VVI/AOA/ADI/HSI properly): Light catching the scratches on the cockpit: HMCS: Rain on Camera affect: Night refuelling with working tanker instruction lights: Dynamic weather and clouds:

This applies: http://combatace.com/topic/67470-sfp1-running-on-windows-7/ Also Win 7 comes with DX11 - Pretty sure I needed to install the DX libraries for the older DX versions like DX9 which is what WOE uses.

Fantastic joystick - mine lasted 6-7 years - but this year button 2 failed - so now have a Logitech Attack 3 - but would like a HOTAS thing

The in-cockpit noises are genius - give me almost a sense of light headedness when flying this coupled with the movement of the FM - extremely well done here. Quite pleased I got the impossible landing training mission first time - rudder pedals are pretty handy there!

So the same thing happens when you try to install it?

Did the game work before adding the skins? In the skin pack installer there should be a restore button to restore the original skins You may need to run it as admin - was never designed for WIn7 but it works okay for me. Also note there are a few tweaks needed to run AF on Win 7 - check out some old threads on here for the answers
