I've had problems with carriers in the Korean Air War mod with my planes exploding as soon as a take-off mission starts, so you might want to check the same things for this mod. This was for the KAW carriers: Victorious 25DeMayo Melbourne I did a search and someone suggested that setting the collisions to easy would cure it, but it didn't for me. So I did some digging in the files and noticed some differences between the positions.ini and the Carrier_DATA.INI files. Through a process of trial and error I got things to work even on Hard collisions. The changes I made were: Edit the Carrier_DATA.INI in Carriers folder. Change in the DATA.INI: All 15.3340 to 15.5340 [Hull] ModelNodeName=Hull EffectSize=1.0 //MaxExtentPosition= 28.98, 152.25, 19.58 MaxExtentPosition= 28.98, 152.25, 15.5340 [Deck] SystemType=FLIGHT_DECK FlightDeckHeight=15.5340 Basically the plane was being positioned inside the carrier at the start of the mission and hence exploding. Now I can actually take-off!! And the Demayo2.msn needs the carrier to be moving or else the catapault doesn't have enough power to throw you off the deck. Set the carrier speed to 9.0-ish and you'll be OK.

You have to remember that several people have commented that the Sp5 Oct08 patch REDUCES the SAM's in WOV, so that may be slybelle's problem.

NATO Fighters 1 & 2 are both designed for WOE Sp4 (08/30/06) per the included README file, not WOE Sp5 (Oct08). They are currently working on NATO Fighters 3 with will be designed for WOE Sp5 (Oct08). As a result, if you want to play NATO Fighters ! or 2, you need to leave your WOE only patched to Sp4.

slybeele: To do the WoV 08/30/06 patch correctly, you need to patch it first with WoV 05/15/06 then patch it with WoV 08/30/06 [otherwise known as Service Pack 4 (Sp4)]. If you did not know it, you can make multiple copies of all the ThirdWire games, just name each main folder slightly different. I for instance have 6 differnt copies of WoV: 1. Sp5 - Oct08 2. Sp4 - 08/30/06 3. Sp4 - GreenHell2 4. Sp4 - Tet'68 5. Sp4 - VPLN 6. Sp4 - Last Stand This way I can use my prop planes and choppers in the Sp4 games and still have the newer Sp5 game to enjoy for it's sake. Panama Red

slybelle: If you do not patch your new WoV beyond 08/30/06 or keep a second WoV 08/30/06 install if you patch your main WoV game up to Oct08, then you will be able to: 1. Fly chopers and other prop planes with your 08/30/06 WoV. 2. Purchase and use the upcoming Yankee Air Pirate 2 which is made specifically for WoV 08/30/06. Panama Red

Strike Fighters 2 (which just came out today) is specifically made to run on Vista, so if you have Vista, this should answer your question: http://www.thirdwire.com/project_sf2.htm

Campaigns are dynamic. The number of campaigns is different per each game (example Vietman has 3 campaigns (Rolling Thunder, Linebacker I, & Linebacker II) and then multiply that times the number of each different planes/squadrons that you can fly with in each campaign). The number of missions per campaign can range any where from 25 to 50 per squadron depending on how long you set your campaign to be. As for missions, there are only 6 to 8 "fixed" missions, but totally unlimited number of game created missions that you set certain parameters for. Example is: 1. Plane you want to fly 2. Type of mission (CAS, Strike, Anti-Ship, Sweep, etc) 3. Time of Day (morning, noon, evening, etc) 4. Enemy level of AA 5. Enemy level of air activity Yes, missions include air, sea & ground. The really best part is all the mods (including new add on campaigns) that you can download from here at CombatAce to add to TK's base games which really makes these games virtually endless.

I'm guessing that the Lockheed C-130 Hercules and F-104 Starfighter were dropped from SF2 because TK would no longer have to pay Lockheed licence fees like he had to do for having them in SF1.

This is exactly why I'm staying with my old Fighting Steel too.

The new YAP2 website is back up. http://www.yankeeairpirate.net/

Thank you, in fact using Edward's deep water files with your coastal files now blends even better than using Edward's original coast and deep water tiles in his original mod.

Comrad: Thanks, but a question. I noticed that there is a definate difference between the coastal waters and deeper waters. You might want check the color difference beteen the coastal tile water color and the full sea tile water color and see if they can be blended better. Thanks; Panama Red

There is actually a very simple fix for this helo problem and it's called Sp4 (083006), but some people do not see it.

YAP = Yankee Air Pirate A term of derision that the North Vietnamese used for American Fliers.

CA_Stary: When I spotted trees on the runway last night during a test mission, I backed up and checked the airfield and it said that it was "Sde Dov", if that helps. Panama Red

Hinchinbrooke: Nice model, but this is oviously the HMS Hermes before the Falklands and her "jump jet" ramp. Did you plan on making the 1982 HMS Hermes too.

Just loaded the F4D-1 to try it and I have a no-go also (I can not turn left or right, only up or down). Using the Sp4 (0806 patch) and FM set to Normal. I hope this plane gets it's FM fixed because it is a nice addition to the collection.

I too have just one airfield using Israel 2 terrain (and your specific trees for that terrain) where the trees show up on the runway. Other than that, I love the mod (and I just ignore the trees).

The "OffsetDistance" was also changed in the new patches versus the old pre-September08 patches. The original "OffsetDistance=0", TK changed it to "OffsetDistance=0.06" now. If you want the original cockpit View, change the "OffsetDistance" back to 0 and you will get the original distance from the gunsite versus closer as TK has you do now.

Is that a RN Cruiser that is the ship beyond the HMS Eagle in your HMS Daring picture ??? Since we have NO cruisers in the download section, I was wondering if this was going to be one of your upcoming contributions !!! :yes: :yes: :yes:

My ATI card did the same thing until I applied the "fix" and now everything is back to normal.

I can not get the WyvernTank to show up, anybody have any better luck ??? Also, when I tested another fuel tank in place of the WyvernTank, it shows two fuel tanks merged into one another, so that idea is no good !!! Panama Red Note: Never mind, I found the information on adding the new WyvernTanks in the SF notes (normally it is in a separate add weapons Notepad page).

A question: are you going to be using the correct sized trees or the larger sized trees ???
