Maybe - but you will be surprised how one goal can change the game, and the way the teams come out for the second half. Germany looked good - but it was more a case of poor defending against basic counter attacking. Once you have to go all out attack you are exposed like that - but most teams don't just fall apart at the seams. Their first goal was a prime example of bad defending - no one touched the ball until the last 15 yards from the goal kick!! - you might see that in Sunday pub team games - but if it happens at this level there is something very wrong.

I will go for Spain now - I expect great things of them.

Yeah - I think that might have been a waste of time GwynO - shockingly bad defensive display and the heaviest defeat ever in the WC finals!! Germany were very lucky not getting that other goal given which should have taken it to 2-2 - but no excuses for the England defence that were all over the place time and time again.

Does 3ds max work if you install it outside Program files which is now protected in Win 7? forget the HDR mod - the current one only works in DX9 I think - you shouldnt need it with DX10.

Its actually an F-16A airframe upgraded to MLU standards (similar to the RDAF/RNLAF/BAF F-16AMs) which have some avionics comparible to a block 50. It is not an F-16C - note the lack of extended base section on the tail and antenna. Also I believe it uses the less powerful 22,000lbs thrust F100-PW-220, Block 50s use the 29,000lbs thrust F110-GE-129 http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article19.html

Just saw the US v Ghana game - a very tough, tense and even match that could have gone either way!

How long have you been playing the game, and what level are you set at? Have you played the 1917 campaign on the allies side? - with everything set hard it was okay for me - got through it okay several times. check your 6 constantly - particularly if you are going after another plane.

AFAIK the F-16A ADF was the only F-16A in USAF service to actually use the AIM-7 operationally. Not sure if Italy rewired them for Aspides (they probably just used AIM-120s - I would) However Taiwan has the F-16A Block 20 - shown with 2 AIM-7s: The person above may have been coming from this about all Block 15s: The AN/APG-66 radar on the Block 15 Fighting Falcons was provided with an early version of a track-while-scan mode for greater air defense capability. The F-16s were also equipped with Have Quick I secure UHF radios, and internal provisions for the AIM-7 were made. Additional structural strengthening was performed to allow an extra 1000 pounds of ordnance to be carried on the underwing points. Last but not least, pilot comfort was enhanced by improving the cockpit air conditioning. http://www.f-16.net/f-16_versions_article3.html

depends - its not down to the card - the HDR mod will work if you run the games using DX9 - ie the first series ones and SF2 games not using advanced shaders or on Win XP. I can run the HDR in Gen 1 games on Win 7 64 and an ATi card But for SF2 games i crank up the settings and makes sure its using DX10 - in which case the HDR mod is not required anyway.

You need to merge a couple of files together using the correct weapons editor for your game version - which I assume is Oct 2008 if you installed the latest patch from 3rdWire?. Have you found the weapons editor program (which I assume is in the weapons pack) and can you open/run it?

What setting in which file are you changing?

The first F-16 to carry the Sparrow was one of the prototypes in the mid to late 1970s - so I guess they decided to add missile capability very early on. The second YF-16 (#01568), equiped with 2x AIM-9, 2x AIM-7 and camera pods test-firing a Sparrow missile.

haha - how cool is that!

I think the Block 25 was capable - not sure if they were ever carried. And have 2 sources stating Egypt had AIM-7 capable Block 32s http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article4.html

Some really interesting reading there thanks

nice one!

Yeah not great - but good enough In that case it looks like the quarter finals for group C and D are: USA v Ghana England v Germany Think I would have preferred to get Ghana - but probably not much in it between them and Germany on current form!

Been there - seems a good idea but really is not - listen to these old heads on here and run for the hills

Check your main ini file is called F-16A.ini 19 files should be in \F-16A\ and the skin folders and the folder \F-16A\Cockpit - all the cockpit files go in there (91 files to go in cockpit) You may need to copy F-16A_netz_afterburner.tga into each skin folder

You didnt try and install an old weapons pack in that did you?

Probably cadillac man - as ive never heard of it before. Have Rescue Dawn on DVD - not bad but could have been so much better - also as ever its not totally accurate if do any reading on Dieter Dengler.

To see ground targets withut a marker is very difficult unless you have a hi res monitor and trackIR (so you can look around and zoom in easily)- then you can see smoke from muzzle flashes etc (well its easier in SF2) If you dont have those things padlock may help, or set the hud only back to normal to get a red marker. The Ground radar mode does show ground objects like AAA, Bridges, Buildings - but its best use is really allowing you to avoid the dots at low level
