..hehe .. :D classic oldie but goldiee....

 

 

Description:

F-22 Total Air War 2008

is a highly modded hybrid between

F-22 Total Air War (TAW)

,

F-22 Air Dominance Fighter (ADF)

and the

Red Sea Operations (RSO)

expansion disc.

The 2008 in the title reflects the ten year anniversary of TAW, and thus remains in the title despite the latest 2009 release.

Changes in the TAW 2008 v.1.52 Patch:

• Added most of the original Air to Air Tactics training missions from ADF (extraction by Krusade).
  
• Added some of Krusade's training missions to Single Player and Multiplayer.
  
• Created a new Missile Evasion training mission.
  
• Added three new head to head scenarios to multiplayer, including a ladder, last man standing, and selectable loadout team dogfight.
  
• Converted the Egyptian Antiquities Tour mission to multiplayer. Now you can go destroy ancient artifacts with 3 of your closest friends!
  
• Fixed an issue where selecting some multiplayer missions in the lobby would cause clients to be automatically booted.
  
• Added a new, darker F-22 skin based on the photorealistic F-22 skin in v1.51. This skin is selectable as the 1st TFW (FF) from the Options menu.
  
• Made graphical fixes and enhancements to the photorealistic F-22 skin introduced in v1.51. This skin is selectable as the 3rd Wing (AK) from the Options menu.
  
• Added texturing to the Saudi and Egyptian F-22 default skins, providing for a more photorealistic look (original 1998 textures may be restored with GME).
  
• Made minor grammatical and formatting changes to some of the mission and campaign briefings.
  
• Implemented Hawk's "Fix my F-22" mod into the ADF/RSO multiplayer missions as well as most other Co-op missions. No longer does getting shot down banish you to the SmartView; you will start at the airfield nearest the current waypoint (this feature may be disabled with GME).
  

Changes in the TAW 2008 v.1.51 Patch:

• Added (with permission) Hawk's 11 Day campaign for Single Player and Multiplayer.
  
• Converted ACM/DACT training missions to multiplayer (can be found under H2H/Co-Op tab)
  
• Added Desert Flightsuit textures and improved in-cockpit textures (original textures may be restored with GME).
  
• Added and adjusted Photorealistic F-22 Textures taken from Polak's terrain mod (original textures may be restored with GME).
  
• Fixed a graphical bug from the Glide version of the original 1998 TAW, and improved the same texture for both Glide and D3D.
  
• Improved MIDI support for Windows XP and more recent operating systems.
  
• Miscellaneous minor fixes and improvements.
  

Features of TAW 2008 v.1.5 Final:

• TrackIR (head tracking) support added
  
• Program available in both Direct3D and Glide
  
• Improved/corrected MFD
  
• Adjusted Mod folders for integration with Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler (GME)
  
• Finalized NVG Mod for Glide. Updated NVG Mod for D3D (via GME).
  
• Classic TAW menu resurrected (modern menu still available via GME)
  
• MIDI music in XP fix
  
• TrueSpeech codecs included (for radio chatter to work in Vista/Win7)
  
• added training ACMIs
  
• Included Faustan's in-campaign weapon loadout editor
  
• Removed "WIDE" cue from D3D-1024 executable
  
• Addition of ADF and RSO campaign missions to multiplayer (work in progress)
  
• Changed target reconnaisance palette from bright green to greyscale to better reflect intelligence gathering assets
  
• Improved realistic Moon and Sun sizes
  
• Added RSO manual and HTML Campaign Guide to Documentation section
  

Features inherited from v.1-R:

• 30 custom missions
  
• 3 custom campaigns, 28 missions
  
• Full ADF campaigns, 29 missions
  
• Full RSO campaigns, 36 missions
  
• New HUD

I got it working. There are a few gripes though. I advise to use GLIDE as oposed to DX, but try use the Glide setup file only once. I found out that setting up glide graphics several times in a row results in choppier gameplay, yes, dont ask why.

 

Loads of fun, of course dont expect too much realism. F-22's TVC modeling and avionics is superb but the planes overal engine perfomance is cut by half as reaching 40000 is a pain plus pretty much all other aircraft fly faster and higher than you. Real F-22's will never carry rocket pods either :D

 

but its loads of fun specialy doing AWACS strategy mode and jump to the pilots seat when enemy formations do dearing incursions on your territory.

because I couldnt understand the motive, but now I do: why save a favorite when you can just bump, so essentially its lazyness.
