I would support such a thing - problem is where do you take it and how far do you go. The engine is already there if its use can be secured and its pretty bullet proof at the mo - even in its current form a lot can be altered/added without affecting the stability. A study sim (as proposed) for 1 or 2 aircraft only - would mean that a lot of people may have to support development of a plane they dont care about - and may lead to conflict later on IMO. I personally would support any chosen plane - though I think it has to be chosen with care. There is a reason why Falcon 4.0 only really looks at 1 aircraft in detail. Do you go for a populist approach and make a futuristic trendy F-22 sim to appeal to the masses (which would never be that realistic!)- or do you stick to the games Vietnam era roots? Then there is the time line and location of the Sim. Say the F-4 was modelled closely - what versions would be looked at and what avionics/weapons would they be able to use. The great thing about the F-4 is that Carrier ops can be simulated too - however would we still wanting to be coming into land on the empty default carrier with no deck activity? Also the Campaign in this game would need some severe revamping - quite a task - unless the game was restricted to hundreds of single missions disguised as a running campaign (where deck activity can be moddelled already to some degree) Would you want A-A refuelling and can they incorporate a tanker with an animated boom? Am kind of rambling on about some YAP / Flight of the Intruder hybrid now - but I guess thats 1 possibilty - with the F-4 and A-6 needing revamped cockpits, and the ability to change Mil settings for Dive bombing (free fall/retarded), Dive Toss, and DIANE. Bottom line is we already have a series where anyone can fly any plane and have loads of fun - and a modern study sim probably wont surpass Falcon (or its predessesor). I would suggest if its to be detailed then stick to the 1960-1980 time frame which hasnt been covered to any degree (probably a reason 4 this ). If you go for realistic it will really limit the planes featured - and if we went for say an F-14 you would need a bomber in there to supplement it (say an F-4). I need to lay down :close_tema:

Hello A specific 1 Vs 1 mission - with only 2 planes in the sky? One way is to alter one of the existing custom missions: To manually edit Single missions go to the "Missions" folder i.e "C:\StrikeFighters\Missions" and open up one of the .msn (ie F-4_Vs_Mig17_1v1.msn) files in Notepad. You can then make a COPY of this and alter the planes taking part. Save the file as a .msn when you have finished When you start the game select the "Load Mission" tab when in the "Single Mission" section This assumes there is a mission like this in SFP1 by default (cant remember as I only have WOV/WOE installed now) hope this is readable your end! Surely its more fun dogfighting lots of different Planes at the same time though :dirol: ps Assume Kreelins editor does this also?

That article is dated 12 Dec 2005 There is a bit about it on here near the bottom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Singapore_Air_Force Any ideas why they were chosen over the Rafale then?

You dont say How many have they got left after sending 60 after the bears - and another 779 to look out for Russian patrols? well according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Force () about 2x 747s - see I was almost right !!

LOL - have they got that many jets - they may have to retrofit some Cessnas and 747s to make up the numbers Perhaps they havn't seen a TU-95 before - or they are just massive fans

Saw this news report today and made me laugh - it mentions that Japan scrambled 22 Jets to intercept a Russian "Bear". I think this may be a typo (or just complete BS) - or do you think that they wanted to outdo the rest of the world by getting a photo with 21 jets flying alongside a tu-95 from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7236241.stm Japan accuses Russia of incursion Japan has accused Russia of violating its airspace over the Pacific Izu islands and demanded an explanation. A Russian Tupolev 95 bomber flew for about three minutes over the isle of Sofugan, 650km (400 miles) south of Tokyo, Japanese officials said. Japan responded by scrambling 22 jets and lodging an official protest with the Russian embassy. But a spokesman for the Russian air force denied any incursion into Japanese airspace had occurred. Alexander Drobyshevsky told Russia's Itar-Tass news agency that strategic bomber flights had been "carried out in strict accordance with international rules on flying over neutral waters, without violating the border between the two countries". Rally Russia last violated Japan's airspace in January 2006 near Rebun Island near the northern island of Hokkaido, Japanese officials said. On Thursday, Japan held an annual rally to demand the return of four disputed islands - known as the Kurils in Russia and the Northern Territories in Japan - which Russia seized in the closing days of World War II. The dispute has prevented the two countries from signing a peace treaty to formally end the war. It was not clear whether Saturday's flyby was related to the rally. Despite their territorial disputes, Japan and Russia have recently indicated their desire to improve relations, the BBC's Chris Hogg reports from Tokyo. Russia wants Japanese financial support for development of its far eastern regions while Japan wants greater access to Russia's oil reserves. Whether the alleged incident was a mistake or something more sinister, such as an attempt to test Japan's defensive tactics, it has rattled the Japanese government, our correspondent says. Tokyo has demanded a full explanation from Moscow.

They perhaps were never finished - though someone else who has this campaign would have to verify this. Check the downloads to see if there are any updates to the campaign or any separate downloads for the maps elsewhere.

Depends how much time you have to invest in learning Photoshop or GIMP in regards to skins - you can come up with some useable stuff after a while - although to get anywhere near the standard of some of the skins produced on here takes some doing (and probably some art lessons) I must admit! :moil: Still actually using them can be more fun

I downloaded some replacement WOV maps the other day and they went in the Terrain folder - so see if you have any files like this in there: <terrain>_map1.bmp <terrain>_map2.bmp <terrain>_map3.bmp and try opening them

hmm - Theres no where to really stick a radar without frying the pilot at the mo so it would be stuck with heaters. Then theres the type of mission it could perform - I would rule out interception because Al terrorist in his 747 can probably will get to his target a few hours earlier still I guess the Cessna pilot could take some pics and sell them to the press

erm - I should say that for all F-22 Vs EF-2000 speculation and guesswork please form an orderly queue at www.f-16.net

Yeah reads ok - a more trendy version of Dale Brown! Still most movies and books are all fantasy - we all know the first thing an SU-37 would see of an F-22 would be the radar emission from an AMRAAM in its final homing phase The bit about the anti-stealth radar is good - although reminds me in some ways of the old Batman series with his gas that turned metal really heavy - so the baddies couldnt hold their guns

Yep its the aspect ratio - im stuck with 1280x1024 hence the black outline - it doesnt bother me (now)

There some info and a plane list here btw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_Over_Europe

Pretty and into planes - now theres a rare and beautiful thing ! try not to scare her away guys

WOE has replaced SFG for me - it has by default newer missiles and avionics - more planes including load of Russian planes including some of he older stuff from SFG. Over WOV you get to do intercept missions - and I think the default campaigns are great - the skies saturated with Migs The terrible terrain is the minus point - and must be replaced its that bad

Glad the pilot got out - at least the ejection seats still work!

So the FAB are trying to get some Russian Jets too then? am sure they will be just fab

This is what Lead Pursuit used to recommend: If anyone is having issues uninstalling Allied Force, please try the following: Go to this page http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;290301 Halfway down is the download link to grab the Installer Cleanup Utility package. Once you have downloaded the file, double click it and select "Run". This will install the package. Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up and double click "msicuu.exe" In the list of programs that appear in the new window, choose (All Users) Falcon 4.0: Allied Force .... and at the bottom hit "remove". This should allow you to reinstall AF correctly. As for screen resolution setting issues - there are probably quite a few old threads on the subject at Frugals if you cant find anything here.

Dont have those versions myself - but its worth searching the F4 forum at Frugals because it must have been discussed before.

Its got a padlock as the home page - how longs that been there? Could be a warning sign to stay away :yu:

Errr not sure what you are getting at here - Do you have a problem with the WOV loading screens? Is this happening in a "single mission" or "campaign"?

5th Generation ! <cough> bet they have hypercruise too :) Not sure having so many planes from different countries is such a good choice in regards to maintence etc
