MigBuster

Didnt use the F-15 in WOE much - was just unfair on the poor Migs - sounds like things may have changed in that regards

LOL - that would be a refreshing change - got an Airmedal in just about every completed mission in the others.

That used to happen in Strike Fighters - though it used to bug and go white if you shot down too many - forget what the threshold was

Nice thanks man - was this on the Lockheed Martin Site?

Yes - it you mean this: One way is to install the game, Patch it fully, Make a copy of the entire game folder, Call it something like WOV_SP4_Modded or whatever, Then run your extra add on game from the .exe from within that new folder you have just created The game doesnt use the registry much so you can create as many installs from the original as you like You have to do this for any campaigns you want to install anyway btw

Ah brings back memories - I was disapointed when the SFP1 manual said I could deploy a drag chute and it wasnt implemented Actually the Mig 25s deploy their chutes automatically when you land - which is much better in someways because you dont forget to deploy them and you dont deploy them to early.

Looks as good as the Payware set - million times better than the stock terrain - have you got many lines at the tile edges?

Yep okay - have loads of pics - will send you a pm

Aw... I think the F-18F would be a great buy tbh - 1 plane with 10 x AIM120C-7s - sorted! Getting carriers is a bit of a trend at the mo - an international task force to any trouble spot in the world is the goal I suppose

http://www.column5.us/sfchart.htm Thats some plane list there - 3 versions of the Hunter, Vautour, Mystere, A-4H - ace!!

Cant believe there are still articles floating about on the subject http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EK...v38/ai_13077535

Well good point really - its not on my list - and I certainly wont be rushing out to buy a Blu-ray player until its been around for a while and the price has bottomed out. Now blue ray on a PS3 - through a friends 28" HD Widescreen TFT TV (about £2000) looks amazing I must admit. But then again my current TV - a Phillips 25" CRT - that cost £20 off a mate is never gonna be great. I Have a VHS/DVD combi player - only VHS records though because standard DVD recorders seem to expensive still and there are too many formats - and I have 2 PCs that can do this. Bought my first DVD film in 2004 and that was half price - so now as predicted my DVD and VHS collection is a worthless pile of plastic - worth about 50p each (if that) at a car boot sale! but then again its worthless pile of plastic anyway I suppose

Think they are already a member with older types. GD couldnt even see it in 1990 about when they decided to sell to LM Still i suppose hindsight is a great thing

Hmm well the USAF is having a tough time - but spare a thought for the RAF - who may need to wheel some Lancasters out of the museum soon - and of course the Algerian AF with their Friday afternoon built Migs!

Things are pretty bad when even Algeria complains. Theres no excuse for bad quality anymore(if that really is the case) - when any of their competitors like France CAN export good quality. Well I hope they kept the receipt - though I suspect the Russians may not offer customer satisfaction or your money back!

Radio controlled planes have always been expensive - always wanted a Spitfire when I was little but couldnt afford it either

Well beggars cant be choosers! and besides when did Russia give anything good away!

Excellent nice of him to give us these features - can finally riddle the place with static stock planes without using single missions (i think) Not really important but before anyone else asks - can you turn the engine off Wonder if TK will still be supporting the original Strike Fighters with the next service packs.

The jet looks more intact than it should be!

Yeah - I get a corrupt file message when extracting it with WinRAR also. The original poster will need to check it and upload the files again unless someone else has it.

Well in Vietnam initial contact was by a radar on a picket ship (ie red crown), early Airborne radar planes - or the Jets own radar. Once in visual range though - forget radar only your eyes will help you. So in close you should be looking for a guns shot or a rear aspect Sidewinder/Falcon shot (you dont need a radar lock for that) You should be able to get a radar lock on Migs (using the F-4 for example) - its required to fire a Sparrow - (and it takes time to lock up!) - but in close range the Boresight radar mode is the only mode of any use - its still something I rarely use though - looking down to muck around with radar screens isnt always the best idea in the middle of a dogfight! The weps editor works fine - check out the knowledge base (you need to run it in win98 compatibilty mode) Instead of selecting "Hard" select "Custom" and set everything to Hard apart from the HUD - so you still get the red box

Nice work - Seems to be ok on mine:

IR = Infra red - thats basically a Heat Seeking missile - which are mostly short range (ie AIM-9 Sidewinder). Looks like hes playing Wings Over Europe - but you can make WOV look like that with enough modding That cockpit looks like the 3rd party SU-27 one that you can download from here - it will work in WOV but you would have to change the game end date to somewhere after 1984. On hard settings - do you mean you dont get the red box around the enemy aircraft? - well you would have to use trackIR to keep your sights on them at close range and padlock is also useful. IMO dont play with the HUD settings on hard unless you have a big hi res monitor where you can actually see other planes without a red box. If you are playing WOV in its default state then you will get basic HUDs and poor radar performance - which would be correct for Jets from 1964 - 1972

There is a SFPE1 cat file extractor that can be used on cat files in the downloads section here. However files in cat files cant actually be removed from them afaik - so you dont really need to check because they will be there. (they would be in <terrain>.cat) - so look in the stock terrain folder for it. Any ideas who created this Korrain Mod? or where you got it from so it could be looked at?

Actually when I say small - they would still probably considerable in time and effort required - take "realistic carrier ops" by itself for example. forget 2 weeks - 2 years!
