  1. yeah, they show up......but, are invisible when I go to external view.

     

    I have a copy of SFP1, the import idea sounds like a winner. How hard is that?

    The one I got to work was the F-104C-10 by wpnssgt. But, it really wasn't functional w/o external view.

    Think the cockpit was an F-4, it showed, but a/c was not there. Tried to take off, and wouldn't stear.

     

    I have alot of luck with most add-on a/c....this is just one I really want, but....


  2. I need some input before I waste a LOT of time.

     

    I have enough missions in various stages of completion to

    make a campaign in WOV. They are real battles. The skill

    of the player in flying, fighting and thinking how to survive

    must be higher. The outcome depends on you. They are

    more fun to observe during the battle (with Control-f12)...for me anyway.

     

    I don't want to tell War Stories. I want to share some visual fun...

    that puts the player in a real situation. But since they take so much time,

    I would like to know if anyone plays these things or they are like

    self-published books.

     

    New targets. Problem solving. It all takes a lot of time as you know and

    I'm only using creative people's creations to recreate.

    (...an hour to line the Thai Nguyen railway station up

    with the Thai Nguyen bridge!...to be posted soonish.)

     

    War Story Missions would include:

    1-Bat Lake: Break the Bombing Halt. Attack a petrol depo

    in RP1. New target. Real mission. Really smokes!

    2-Tet Offensive at Hue: Blow the hell out of the city to save

    it...like Team America.

    3-Scramble: Weather is bad. Ceiling is low. NVA thinks their

    tanks are safe. Catch them in the open at Phu Bai.

    4-Khe Sahn: Get the guns before they get the Marines. Making

    artillery for it.

    5-Hamburger Hill: So far, just a slaughter on a mountain but...

    6-Ia Drang: First battle of war. AI buffs, huns and helos but

    neat to watch from the cockpit of your Spad. Got to upgrade it.

    7-Ban Laboy: Interdiction mission against trucks on Ho Chi

    Minh Trail at dusk. Tanker intercept.

    8-Ban Phanop: Same as above but worse AAA. Tanker intercept.

    9-Tchepone: For a change, attack gun positions with daisy cutters.

    10-Stung Treng: Attack an airport, town, and sampans in Cambodia.

    11-Ranchhand Escort: Try to stop the VC from shooting down the

    Agent Orange planes.

    12-A Shau Valley: Be Bernie Fisher. Shoot a touch-and-go at a

    runway under fire to rescue a fellow Spad pilot.

    13-Recon Escort: Follow a recce bird (F4E without the funny face).

    Kill any guns or SAM's that have the temerity to shoot at him.

    14-Napalm: Grunts being shot at. Thatched roofs. Guys in pajamas..you know.

    15-Wingman missions (like Pancho's) Fly wing on the way

    Downtown. 500 knots @ 500 feet pulling 5G's. Staying in jamming

    formation under fire. THEN hitting the target and get home.

    A lot more challenging than locking onto a Suhkoi in a

    Tomcat or high altitude Baghdad Smart Bombing...real or sim. Only WOV.

    16-FAC: Mark targets with WP rockets then watch fighters drop snake and nape on it. Then land, taxi up to the dead guys and say Chu Hoi.

    17-Shoot down of Jolly 71: Turnabout is fair play.

    18-Pardo's Push: Can't figure out how to do that one.

    19-Search & Rescue in Mu Gia Pass: Haven't figured this one

    either but it would be the best. Need an HH-3...and someone

    with the balls to fly it.

    20-Goodbye Saigon. Fly a VNAF L-19 from Saigon to aircraft carrier.

    Move to Orange County. Open a pizzeria. Send your kids to Stanford.

     

    not historical but hysterical:

     

    -Charlie Don't Surf: Hueys and OV6's destroy a quiet village

    by the sea while you bring in your flight of silver F-5's to

    drop napalm on the treeline. "Bring my Yater Spoon and find something for Lance!"

    -Yu Mek Mi So Hony: Land your Thud in Bangkok. Lock brakes.

    Open canopy. Alt-Tab. Go to porn site. Back to WOV. Fly to Korat. Think up story to

    tell Ops Officer. Play this one at work!

     

    not included but historical:

     

    Runaway Gunship: AC119 gunship flies off without a crew towards

    China full of secret gear. You have to find it and shoot it down and have the

    gas to get home.

    Chu Lai Airshow: Marines launch an F4B to kill sniper beside their

    runway. Every shot is a short round.

     

    Everyone wants to chase a MiG but when there are a thousand

    of you up there and only two or three MiG's, it's kind of

    like Lotto. Zen is learning to love the mud.

     

    Worth the trouble? Make a Campaign? Just submit missions? Go away and play by myself?

     

    You probably know what i'm going to say, but here goes:

    Missions/Camp are add-ons just like everything else. The easier it is to add, the better. That being said,

    WOV/SFP1 provides alot (maybe too much) flexibility. If I have to add 5 objects, and 3 a/c just to fly a mission, I might not download. But, if the mission/camp is SO tempting, then what the hell! Problem is

    everyone out there is playing with a different deck......hard to get a game going with 1000 decks!

    But!!!! Half the fun is creating the damn things......the other half is someone saying its cool....so do the first half, and hope for the second!!!!!
