MigBuster

If you mean during a campaign on hard settings - then their skill level goes up if they survive a mission I have noticed. Dont think there is a way to alter starting skill levels - thats coded in the game - Experience and morale is probably aready set to 100 in the campaigns data ini file.

This might be down to the pilot level of training - which is PilotTrainingStandard=POOR for Syria/egypt. Extract nations.ini and change to NORMAL or EXCELLENT and see if they are any better.

Have stuffed Vampires with every new plane so far - same cant be said for my wingies. On all hard settings you can generally out turn them in the P-51 while checking your 6 a lot - I rarely go head to head with the AI in anything with guns - its 50/50.

Yeah - its just the campaign - dont fancy taking out the runway with those peashooters on the P-51

What model of Spitfire are you talking about here just the Mk9? Does the clipped wing version fair any better?

It might appear to be because it can sustain a lot more energy - and Im normally in an F-4 when those things are about.

AFAIK an entry for every target in the terrains _target.ini needs to be added into the terrains movement.ini file for shipping to stop this happening - but thats the only work around I know of unless anyone has something better.

Respect - a true hero

Yes you really need to spray them - quite a change!

First time Ive flown a P-51 since EAW which had the B and D from what I remember. Interestingly shooting down MiG-15s and Vampires was not much of an issue once they decided to get slow, but the Spitfires - difficult to keep up with them, they decimated my entire flight 3 times with those 20mm cannons in a 4v4 - watch out for them!

The SF2 (and FE2) series do have more features, but also no multiplayer if you like that sort of thing. Over SF1 series its can use DX10, has new 3D jet models and cockpits with more functionality, new RWR avionics like vector and TEWs, is supported on Vista/Win7, and already is taking advantage of multicore CPUs better. If you have a high end system or are getting one with win 7 then its the SF2 series only - Im not even sure the SF1 series will be supported at all anymore. If you are not sure about the games check out my sig - everything up to Strike Fighters 2 is the older SF1 series.

If its just a backup and you are running the game from C still - you only need to make a copy of the Mod folders and put them on it.

not seen anything yet in regards to this - could be because im running a standalone maybe?

TK knows how the damage is modelled - for the rest of us - keep firing until it goes down. Some jets like the SU-7 need even more punishment

In case its not obvious the file needed is 50CAL.WAV - can be extracted from another game also (flightdata.cat)

SF2E FE2

Lovely - that looks like Polaks old skymod screens in there?

And the best new model :)

Defo turn the shadows to medium or low as a starter. Used to have a GT220 which was supposed to be a rebadged GT9400 low end card and you certainly could not max settings out in SF2 games.

hmm all 4 worked ok for me about a year back. You are putting this into a separate new install of WOE Oct 2008? The weps editor will need to be in win 98 comp mode to work - other instructions should be in the KB NF1 is an exe so guess you may be specifying the wrong folder. \Objects\Weapons is where weapons live Maybe make another install (copy the folder of a clean copy) and try it again starting with NF1 - I would guess the path should be the top level folder of that install - but cant remember. I think that only NF4 includes the updates for the Oct 2008 version of the game - you have an F-4G that was for an older version of the game - a lot of flight model changes were made in Oct 2008 so you need to get to the stage of installing all 4 parts before using it.

Wow Crikey - You mean John McClain though? Was trying to link it to the old Vietnam pilot

Hello CIA_Mayday - thanks for dropping by. Not sure if playing custom missions in multiplayer was possible either tbh - I'm sure someone knows.

I think the A-10C will be around for some time yet - the A-10 was going to be replaced by the A-16 before the end of the Cold War too. Have even seen rumours of a new cheap COIN aircraft being produced. As for the F-35 - well I would guess that what they are getting at - against a 'real' Air defence the F-35 would provide CAS until it was safer to send in slow movers like the A-10. Anything with PGMs can provide CAS these days if you have troops on the ground - for example Ive seen it mentioned that the B-1 is fantastic for CAS, can loiter forever, and carry loadsa bombs. As for poor old Boeing, it seems LM got all the best Jets - never mind am sure they will think of something - be interesting to see if anyone gets the F-15 Silent Eagle - not sure its that much of a bargain either - just bend the tail a bit.........
