The key is consciousness. Until mankind can not grow up to a certain level of understanding of life and their laws (and I not talk about bill of rights, and any man made law system) contact will not happen (on broad or public manner) and we are stuck on solely this planet. When our habit of using any new advancement to making newer or better more destructive weapons CHANGES to utilizing to our betterment of living and our fellow man, when we interact and live with compassion, kindness and unconditional love, then we would be allowed to go beyond this planet and start colonize nearby or bit more distant places. Currently we are viewed as children still playing in the sandbox, no more, not less. Although we passed a certain turning point so "self destruction" will not happen (warmongers will still be around for few more decades and local incidents will be likely), but still early on our process of "growing up". There are few more natural laws that we haven't even discovered yet (there is no black matter just missing natural laws) that will allow FTL speeds/ interdimensional travels and understanding the working of galaxies and the universe. Few inventions that are still to come that will tip the balance more and more toward graduating up in the kinder garden to primary school, then above. How long will take? Anywhere between 25 to 1000 years, its only depend on ourselves, and the willingness to change our way of life (leadership, greed, ego, hatred, etc) The better we get the more inventions will be available to us to make life easier and better and advance faster ahead. Religious systems will change or have to change in order for them to continue to exist otherwise people will gradually turn away from them. There is not much that need to add for them, only the scale of application in understanding what exactly they meant in the writings and of course get rid of contents that were artificially placed in each to create control, turmoil and "difference" between the different views of enlightenment. As the old saying goes "All roads lead to Rome"; doesn't matter which one you are on, it will still take you there; no need to argue or quarrel about who's is better or more true, still just a road. Until we graduate out of the sandbox, individual sightings/encounters (like in OP) will still happen. Mankind have a habit to grow out of, namely we behave alone or in small groups differently then in big masses. Individuals can have curiousness and attention to try to understand such events, masses currently can still behave like sheep or a low conscious herd of animals, without ability to think clearly only driven by emotions.

Yes colors are a struggle, but by comparing one with another I slowly get to it

I fully agree. And you know, imho that this kind of advancement, isn't "forbidden by God until we grow up" or something like that - it's rather an accomplishment that, in order to be achieved, needs an evolution of how we as human look at and perceive things. Such evolution would most likely determine, among other things, large changes in the scientific method and how it is applied. Sadly, the herds are unable to direct themselves and they are led by elements which stay outside of them. In particular, the ability of not thinking clear as masses, is crippled not by emotions in general, but by fear. To keep it simple: the herd is kept afraid and terrorized by the shepherd, who managed to assume the control of it by killing some of the sheep with a stick. The stick is, in human matters, where the largest part of all the wealth and resources available go, and we all know what that is.

i think that such entity is actually entities, in the sense that if there are intelligent species, we can be sure that there are lots of them, not only one. Very likely, the universe is big enough to contain everything you hypothesize, and yet much more. We tend also much to see this subject as an interaction between human and "others", when actually it makes much more sense that these different entities interact among each other. Why is the human race and Earth in general being somehow "ignored"? Some users talk about our tendency to kill and make suffer each other, and I think that it's the right track. If there is a condition by which such "advanced" (again, we focus on technology, but i suspect that it's a much more general aspect) beings can't or don't want to, approach the humans is that humans are divided and do not act with a single will, which should be the "most general good possible" at their level of culture, society, etc. I sincerely doubt that anybody who is able to perform voyages over light years distances would enter in contact with our current leaderships - so that they can keep it secret and try to exploit it to their advantage and to the disadvantage of the other creatures of the Earth. There is also another problem, and this one is pretty much "human only" - religions. The disclosure of the knowledge that we "aren't alone" would force all the human religions to readapt to a much more universal context. It would also probably mean that some of them, especially some of the monotheistic, would be subtracted of most of their fundamental reason d'etre. The way human matters are managed these days, I don't think that such adjustements will be allowed in any short period of time.

It also assumes that such an "outside force" would find Earth as it is today. Again assuming they did not interfere with anything here and they just came.. and A, they are benevolent/ at least neutral and just watching B, Outright hostile (came to enslave, consume .. etc etc the humanity.) I think whatever such entity or force may exist, superior and advanced.. it may have very well existed 100 thousand or even a million year ago. I don't think a first contact was in the 20th century. And, Their intentions can be much more complex than just and utter Hollywood invasion force, or grinning Zoo watchers.. They could be farmers... seeding, weeding - then ultimately harvesting. They can be land owners, directly/indirectly managing the planet interfering when something they don't like They can be more, even gods, not just managing but completely controlling the system like we do with a strategy game, via their "human" pawns and puppets. Just like how it is being done in small scale in every human country between the power holders and the masses. They can be scientists... making something, observing... then clean up the failed mess and starting a new one in a new pot. OR, simply, they are the same of us. What would WE do with a stone-age alien civilization on a newly discovered world? Discover them, observe them, befriend them... teach them...experiment on them, take their lands away, good alien is the dead alien. We need another Earth, say the stockholders. How dare they throw stones... alien terrorists.

View File South China Sea 250m v 0.1 BETA =================================================================== South China Sea 250m v 0.1 BETA December 2017 =================================================================== This is a work-in-progress (BETA project) developed as a stand-alone for a merged Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam and North Atlantic. Included are 2x 7z files; Project South China Sea-pt1.7z (contains the menu and objects) and Project South China Sea-pt2 (contains the terrain). This project has been underway for over two years and started as a Strike Fighters Project One terrain add-on. Initially I used a standard resolution terrain but thanks to Stary's terrain tests I have managed to develop this terrain at the 250m scale. Not all locations are accurate due to game engine limitations. This terrain is massive and covers an area 3000x3000km. Currently there are 511 tiles, which is a byproduct of building custom local/islands tiles for the region. I am not able to build all islands due to game engine limitations. Some Island tiles are very simplistic while others are pulled from Wikimapia and reworked. Due to the large area coupled with 250m resolution you will need a strong system to run the game. Please send me feedback if you find issues with the terrain. =================================================================== REQUIRED for this terrain. 1. A merged copy of SF2V and SF2NA. 2. Terrain: Stary's Green Hell 3.5 You sir are truly a master! My customized special tiles compliment Stary's work. These include additional terrain, river, stream, mountain and Island tiles (some fictional). =================================================================== Optional I used a lot of helicopters for this project (AH-1 series, AH/OH-6, CH-47, CH/HH-53, UH-1, UH-60). If you have Yakarov79's AH-1F, I added an Australian skin to the basic AH-1F model. Yakarow79 was gracious enough to provide 2x regional specific cobras; AH-1J_PinoyCobra & AH-1J_TOW_PinoyCobra. Jarek thank you for taking the time to customize these cobra's for the South China Sea project! The OV-10D - I took the OV-10 and modified the DATA.INI into an OV-10D NODS platform. I know the Philippine Air Force is still using the OV-10 airframe. Its not perfect but it is the best I can do currently. All I did was some .INI work and skinning (my skinning skills for this a/c aren't so good). The PC-9A - I created a Philippine Air Force skin for DELS PC-9A using existing templates. As an added option, I created 2 new screens; Main Screen and Single Mission. Drop the JPGs into your Menu folder. =========================================================== License: This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages. This terrain may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions. =========================================================== Final Words. A lot of thanks to Menrva and Stratos for their continuous support during this process. Stary, thank you for the superb GH tiles and allowing me to take some artistic license with your excellent work. Erik, Wrench and the other administrators at Combat Ace. If it weren't for this site, no one would be reading this. I am solely responsible for this project. I hope you enjoy it. Krfrge - December 2017.

Gents, you all know that you're complaining about a mod package that's nearly 10 years old, right?? And that the people that built it aren't even around anymore? My suggestion is, if you have documented proof of the ECM issue and the capabilites the aircraft is SUPPOSED to have, is the make the adjustments in the data inis of said aircraft, state the reasons for the changes in your readme (documenting the appropriate USAF T.O.s or whatever), and upload the corrected data ini's to one of our many convenient categories (suggestion: Object Mods / Ini File Edits) so the community can share in the correction. Don't forget to include a screenshot, either (required) Because complaining about it in a 10 year thread, accomplishes nothing. Work the problem and share it with the community. That's how we do things here
