Deuces made this beauty MONTHS ago and I have forgotten to distribute it. Thanks to Cam for reminding me. It will be in the Members Area shortly along with some models, skins and Bonus Missions.

I must be doing something wrong. I don't see anything new in the Bonus Content part of the Members Area. Could someone please point me in the correct direction.

Thanks for the reply, but that file doesn't seem to have any of the things that zercinco mentions in the his post (screen, missions, skins, models). The file must be somewhere since a couple of people found it. Maybe the file was taken down after it had been up for a while. Thanks anyway.

Next Freebie:

The AH-1F was not a Vietnam Era helicopter BUT it is about the coolest looking machine I have seen. So, we thought we would give it to our members.



Possibly someone playing Wings Over Europe would find it useful in the Fulda Gap.



It comes armed with 2.75" rockets, a 20mm chain gun and...



TOW's



Just put the pipper on the indicated tanks within range parameters and you have a kill.

Just go to the Member's Area and download. Inside you will find the aircraft folder. Also, some weapons files. Just drop the Weapondata.INI and Weapondata.DAT into your Weapons folder.

Still working on the modified Hi-Res Scooter skins.

Hello,
I thank you very much for all the work and dedication on this project. I am also greedy enough to take the "freebies" you offer. The new YAP "splash" screens are very attractive and an an individual stamp to the work. In YAP, I can obtain a cockpit setting without trouble with the AH-1, finding myself flying with a companion in a cloudy sky over the highlands....

I did take your advice to try in placing the AH-1 file into the Objects/Aircraft folder and the Weapons data into the Objects/Weapons folder of Wings Over Europe (not the StrikeFighter2 edition). I took time, as ususal to complete the loading. Once completed, though, I was returned to desktop.

I tried other "stock" aircraft for a single and instant action flight. They launched properly. My attack heliocopter went into the vapors, however.

What am I missing? I copied the same install procedures as with YAP. I looked to WOE2, but could not find an Objects folder that permitted additions and used the first generation of WOE as the friendly target.

Please help me get to the Fulda Gap.

I put the AH-1F into WOE (latest patch) on my Vista64 and it didn't crash.
Doesn't help you any, but it is possible.

If it is any assistance to the direction of this thread, my WOE is patched through Oct2008 and includes the Bluetooth(?) patch as well.

Stock planes still fly. The attack heliocopter lands on the desktop

Well, on DAY2, I verified that my game setup is in cockpit, in the air near target. I then randomly selected a F15, Mig29, Corsair (Late) and an A10 set to the same Single Mission scenario profile as the AH. They arrived. The AH-1 ended at desktop yet again.

Thinking to out smart the program, I then varied from Tactical support in Germany in 1990 to Reconaissance, to Air Suppression. All ended in desktop. No VISTA, just solid XP rebuilt five months ago. WOE is patched through Oct2008, with the subsequent BlueTooth patch.

JUST THE SAME, I THANK ZEROCINCO FOR THE GIFT. The aircraft addition works were it should in YAP. It just does not get me to the Fulda Gap. If there are any ideas as to what can be leading to this frustration and how to repair them, I would appreciate learning.

Try lowering the rotor propdiameter= to 6.00 or less.

For those concerned, it was MY error. It is NOT "BlueTooth", BUT "Blue Tiger Enabler Patch", a suite of upgrades for the first generation of Wings Over (Everywhere)that was issued on their site in November 2008.

As for my inability to get to the Fulda Gap, I thank you for the advice Mr. 8LEIN. But in what configuration file do I find the "rotor propdiameter" values? I did check the aircraft folder, but could not find a similar statement in any of the config. files.

Your ideas could help. Again, it flies "well" in Yankee Air Patrol. Yet after the long loading process, with a F15 on the Splash screen, the process concludes with a reintroduction to the desktop. Again, four stock planes chosen at random did launch. So, I do not believe the problem lies in the base setup of WOE. And again, I have upgraded the program to the Oct2008 patch and added the November BLUE TIGER enabler patch.

In the dataini, Engine2, look for the propdiameter=
Also check service year. We have it set up service end year as 1990. Extend that perhaps.

Additionally, I missed an adjustment to the pit gunsights. If you wish to remove the overlay rocket gunsight, modify your pit ini as such:

[GunsightFront]
HasGunsight=TRUE
GunsightMilSize=100
MaxDepression=250
DefaultDepression=50

Aside from that, I'm out of ideas for a WOE setup since I do not have it.

I still have the gifts you gave me. I have a New Splash screen and a AH-1 to YAP about. I did try your .INI modification to the Propdiameter setting, dropping it from the established 13.245 to 5.00. This brought up a black screen with a flight description box however that had me at 1k airspeed and 1ft in altitude. The setup for the recon flight did also appear on the debriefing screen following.

However when this was dropped to 4.00 and the raised to 5.250 I was met with Mr. Desktop.

Other Angles of Attack to resolve this misfortune would be appreciated. In all, I thank the YAP people for the generous gifts.
