It is possible - if you look at some of the modern planes (F18, F16) for download on this site they have modern Head Up displays like the Top Gun one from the 1980's. If you are playing WoV with stock planes before 1972 then none of them really had advanced Head up Displays and radars that worked like that. As far as i know no one has bothered modding a 1960's plane with advanced avionics - mainly because I suppose they want to keep some realism in the game. Also setting the Hard HUD to be like that would make it an EASY HUD really. regards

A real life crocodile dundee / tarzan - got close to so many dangerous animals which made for some great TV. Like anything with those risks involved there is a high probababilty of harm - guess his luck run out. seemed like a great bloke though!

1. Wings over Europe is the latest in the series and was released this year yes. 2. None of the games have the F14 in off the shelf - it is a third party Mod - you need to download it from the downloads section here or from www.column5.us. It should work in any game of the series - you will find that about 95% of the mods work ok in SFP1/SFG/WOV and WOE because they all use the same engine. 3. SFG was released later in europe, includes 3 more campaigns and has a lot more placed ground objects. The C130 and F104 were removed from this game due to copyright issues - but could be added later anyway by downloads from Thirdwires site. 4.Each download should come with a readme file. Usually you download the plane and drag the folder with the files to the objects/aircraft folder. Adding weapons can be more tricky - but its really not difficult if you persist. Read the knowledgebase on this site and also search the simhq.com forum also regarding any questions - everything you need to know can be found by searching :)

1. Copy the text below fully between the dashed lines - DO NOT include the dashed lines though! 2. Paste it into Notepad and save it as a file called HUDDATA.INI (it must be called exactly that!!) 3. Move the file into your "Flight" folder (ie StrikeFightersGold\Flight)- MAKING SURE you do not over write any files in there already. If you already have a file called Huddata.ini then rename it to huddataOLD.ini Start the game and if you dont like the results remove the file from the flight folder and all will be back to normal. ------- [Debug] DisplayDebug=FALSE TextFontName=Arial TextSize=9 [infoDisplay] BackgroundImage=TextBackground.tga BottomLeftPosition=0.01,0.985 BottomRightPosition=0.99,0.985 DisplayWidth=0.0 VerticalBorder=0.0015 HorizontalBorder=0.008 EnemyTargetColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 FriendlyTargetColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 UnknownTargetColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 WaypointColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 TextFile=HUDText.str NormalColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 WarningColor1=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 WarningColor2=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 AGLAltStart=609.6 AGLAltWarning=152.4 [Display001] DisplayType=DIRECTOR ObjectType=TARGET_ENEMY ConeSize=1 BoxSize=1 BoxType=SQUARE BoxColor=1.0,0.0,0.0,0.75 ConeModelName=redcone [Display002] DisplayType=DIRECTOR ObjectType=TARGET_FRIENDLY ConeSize=1 BoxSize=1 BoxType=SQUARE BoxColor=0.0,0.0,1.0,0.75 ConeModelName=bluecone [Display003] DisplayType=DIRECTOR ObjectType=NEXT_WAYPOINT ConeSize=0 BoxSize=0 BoxType=TRIANGLE BoxColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0 ConeModelName=whitecone [Display004] DisplayType=RADAR PosX=0.865 PosY=0.015 Width=0.0 Height=0.0 Alpha=0.60 InitTime=2.0 [Display005] DisplayType=DIRECTOR ObjectType=RADAR_TARGET ConeSize=1 BoxSize=1 BoxType=DIAMOND BoxColor=1.0,1.0,0.0,0.75 ConeModelName= ---------------

Yes this is to do with the individual planes themselves. To get them in the game depends on nation, date, attachment type and and type of weapon as you have found out above.

tbh the missions involving clearing enemy AAA are very difficult in hard HUD mode to the point of painful. You can use padlock or the zoom in function to get an idea of where they are - also the ground radar if you have one - you soon get to see that the dots are not completely meaningless. For static large targets you can follow your waypoints and the map. I compromised in the end by using the normal hud but removing all the displays and making the red box 1x1 in size. IRL they may have had help from the ground so features like these make up for that.

There are no reflections in the F16 pits from what I can see - this depends on how the model was created I would say - Im not sure what needs changing but its nothing to do with your system or install.

I have Firefox too and it works ok for me It may be your settings or your firewall. I am behind a router and use these settings: Tools -> Options ->connection settings and check "Auto detect proxy settings for this network" If you are at home then check this out. "pinging" uses different methods to how a browser connects to a server so its not a definitive way to tell regards

The F16 pit is still a beta and has not been finished I believe. I think the CCIP does this in all the planes even the stock WOE ones - though if someone could confirm that. The F16 does not have struts at the front of its canopy - if you look around to a 6 oclock view you will see the struts at the rear. For the burner - open up F-16A_data.ini in notepad and use the find function to find the [engine] section which will be near the bottom. Check the following lines say this and change them if not: AfterburnerNodeName=afterburner AfterburnerEmitterName=AfterburnerEmitter It assumes that you have installed a modified sound file into your sound folder specifically for the F16. btw the ground radar does not work with the pit either yet

Well I am honoured and I am really glad you like the skin :) I give my total respect to your friend - he must have been a good pilot to get chosen for that project - and he got to fly the only plane that could turn with the Mig 17 from what I have read. Yes us dreamers can only marvel at what real combat pilots had to go through!

I will take a look and see what I can do.

I think that error is to do with the version of direct X you have. If you are patched up to the latest version of the game then download the latest version of Direct X from Microsofts web site. Even though you may already have Direct X 9c there are later versions of it required for the game. The link at the bottom of this page should send you to the right place (its the same for each game in the series): http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_wov.htm

View File F-16A/N Aggressor Snow Camoflage This is a skin for the F-16A Aggressor,and F-16N Aggressor US Navy aircraft. Although there are a few of these about this has a new pattern based on photos in the F-16.net database - In particular: http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item40592.html http://www.f-16.net/gallery_item40595.html In real life its only the F-16A but as the template fits it may as well go on the N as well :) I just like the colour scheme basically! size: 1024x1024 Tested on: F-16A Aggressor (folder:F-16A_USN) F-16N Aggressor (folder:F-16N) Please read the readme file to ensure the decals are installed properly. Many thanks to all involved in the F-16 project (Viper team) and for the templates. Also for the NSAWC3 skin author which gave me ideas for the wing lines Only tested in SFG but should also work in WoE/WOV/SFP1 Press the button below to download this skin and save it to your Desktop.

I have only seen this when I have been using an older version of the Weapons Editor to add weapons. To check this go into the "weapons" folder and cut the file "Weapondata.DAT" and paste it somewhere safe. Then run the game and see if its okay. If it does run now - you will notice that the new weapons probably are not in the game anymore but at least we know what the problem is. You basically have to use the weaponeditor included in the latest weapon pack - (run under Windows 98 mode) if you use Win XP to open up weapondata.INI and save it which will create a new working weapondata.dat file. hope this makes sense - if not come back. there is loads of info about this on the WOE/WOV knowledge base on this site -
