MigBuster

Well should be fun starting from scratch - wouldnt go to far with WOE/WOV because new patches are out soon apparently to bring them up to WOI level and you may be starting from scratch again shortly :close_tema: My WOE install has so many man hours of mods in it that I back up the entire game now every now and then.

It sure was - congrats Only really know about the Invader because it was used over SEA strangely enough!

Well I said for the time being - that doesnt mean that they wont export them after they have been around a while. The F-15s and 16s were exported within a couple of years of them coming into US service it appears - although back then the obvious threats consisted of current Soviet hardware (aka Mig-23). Reasons why the F-22 is being held (nearly 3 years service) are not clear although one thing that is: Billions spent on development - and the funds for developing future replacements may not be as forthcoming as they once were. Why should they "give away" guaranteed air superiority over any nation on the planet that easily? It might be different if Iran had squadrons of stealth F-5 shakarakas (or whatever) and yes they may have S-300 SAMs alledgedly but these will be defending their nuclear facilities (maybe) and no threat to Israel at the moment You might be right and end up with a few next year - in which case I will eat my hat

Surely they can do that by pushing more F-35 and F-16 sales through

Cant see the F-22 being exported for the time being - US would be stupid to do so IMO.

What was said to be the fastest US bomber used in WW2?

Mig-21 bis (Fishbed N) late 80s?

Once you added the code to "weapondata.ini" did you then open that file with the Weapons editor?. You should see the newly added weapon in the weapons editor - you then need to hit the "Save" button which is the important part - this will then create a new weapondata.dat. Both weapondata.ini and weapondata.dat should be in \Objects\Weapons

am speechless with utmost respect - bet many wonder if they could do that.

Have you added any mods/tweaks to your installation from here? if so try the following: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12148

The poor old Mig-29 never gets any good press - now the embarassment of being shot down by some rebels! Nothing new about Russian pilots partaking in somebody elses war though.

Afraid its your system thats the issue here not the game. Have you tried running a direct X diagnostic (start->run then type in dxdiag ) and see if it picks anything up. Try setting all the graphics options to their lowest level and see if anything improves - then work from there. Also it may be worth seeing if another version of the driver for your graphics acard is a available to try.

ha ha nice vid

Now now everyone to their own - nothing wrong with playing a few games now and then Unfortunately my gaming collection only consists of the TW series and F4 so im not one to comment but I do realise the experiences they provide can be very powerful and far in excess of films due to the fact that its interactive and you are using your brain. besides I bet you spend ages talking about films like Bridget Jones when you are out supposedly living life to the full

Have you tried changing the Attachment type in the f-18c_data.ini? [RightWingStation2] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=2 StationGroupID=1 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 2.71,-0.86,-0.27 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=294.84 AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RP,IRM AttachmentType=NATO,UK,USN <-------------------------- ModelNodeName=Pylon_Outer_R PylonMass=91.17 PylonDragArea=0.05 LaunchRailNodeName=AIM9_rail_R LaunchRailHeight=0.12 LaunchRailMass=25

Battlefield Vietnam: Dont have it anymore - but one of the battlefields (maybe Hue) had a NVA propagander woman on a radio system somewhere telling me we were all going to die - lot more disturbing than it sounds!. WOV + YAP: Any A-1 Skyraider mission is not far off suicide in my case - especially the one where that bloke lands to pick up his mate! (it looked easy in Iron Eagle but alas no Hades bomb in Nam ) First Eagles: Every other mission is suicide in my case - what the - if the real thing was anything like that!! :close_tema: Falcon 4:AF: "Hostile 15 miles out 30,000ft" gets the heart going - as does diving into MANPAD range!

Maybe that explains why they sometimes fly out of the war zone completely and in the direction of Tahiti. Sometimes the only commands that work are rejoin and return to base - and I was starting to suspect that the AI was perhaps learning cowardice! But to contradict that - why do they always attack bombers with tail guns by flying to within about 5 mtrs of them - stupidness or just very brave?

I dont think the real one had a blue cockpit either

Where did you get this from? Somebody recently posted a similar problem with a "free" version they found on the web. Basically if you have installed it properly (or even tried reinstalling it) you need to go back to whoever you bought it from and see if they can check out the download and then provide you with the full thing.

Ive got 4 campaigns and by default depending on which one you use you can fly for the RAF, French, Australian, US, and German AFs Although you can just change all this to fly for whoever you like - as with the other TW sims. In "create single mission" you can just set the plane to be one of just about any nation including Belgium. Havnt checked about other front mods yet - but I have verdun and cambrai France maps by default.

Will say that with the expansion Pack I got 3 different versions of Sopwith Camel - the lowest one being only 110 BHP - thats the same power as a Ford Fiesta I had about 12 years ago And just like that its quicker to get out and walk - you literally get out run by the bombers - especially that AEG thing. The AEG is a nightmare - for those that do have it watch out for ones that get hit and fly lower - their front gunner will shoot up at you while you are trying to fly under the higher bombers mutual cover fire!

Well extrapolating and analysing all the available information we have currently - I would say 2 weeks

I play with the expansion pack and the latest patch - which have fixed quite a few things and enhanced the game loads - so you even get to see the medals won etc. The AI planes seem very good - so expect to get shot up a lot on hard level - and you can have some very nervy and close call dogfights. Ive never played WW1 sim before - but its a good bit of fun (particularly starting in the air) - and you can get into dogfights with loads of planes - creates a great atmosphere - though you have to see it for yourself - kinda helps that everything happens in slow motion compared to the jet sims :) Also I just stick all settings on hard - its even quite easy to see the ground targets at such a slow speed (well with a trackIR). The spad seems to be the fastest allied plane - although it also can get into unrecoverable spins if you are not careful on the stick. There are terrain, menu cloud mods out there etc like for the rest of the TW series.

I dont think the bombs do show come to think of it - they do when you drop them though. Ive no idea if those planes could actually mount bombs anyway.

Not really noob questions cos MP isnt used much and is limited in this series - although its worth looking in the KB or searching for old threads. Also im not sure how much you can change without having to change other peoples installs too. There are a few people (Steakeagle?) that have palyed a lot so may know
