    Okay, this is what I have completed in the last 12 HR. I had to draw the antenna from photos. Its a lot of work to make all of these pipes, but I hope I will get it as close as I can.

    Is there a hardcoded max number of objects allowed in each tile's .TOD? I know there is a limit associated with AlphaObjectVertexCount & AlphaObjectIndexCount. I started with Stary's numbers for these, and it seems no matter what I set these numbers to, I can't get more than about 1024 objects. Some WIP shots...

    Well it's very good question ;-) For sure MFG planes could carry MW-1 ... ..but probably Marine units haven't this weapon on stock. So ... MW-1 isn't in my standard loadouts for MFG, but it's possible to use one ;-)

    I assure you that this model is not pirated, but it will not see light so soon and the model was created a few weeks after the flight of the real prototype.

    sorry other Kevin, to let the retired NCO explain... Commisioned Officers are the bulk of military pilots to include US Army aviators. these are ranks O-1 through roughly O-6 (Leiutenant through Colonel) with most Generals not flying often if at all Warrant Officers can be pilots in the US Army as well. the other branches did away with WO pilots several decades ago. The Flight Warrant is the only Warrant Officer that can become a Warrant without first being an NCO, even right out of basic training if certain scores are high enough. Their ranks run WO1, CW2 -CW5 and are generally addressed as "Chief", "Sir" or "Mister". a CW5 by the way is rather rare to see, but generally has all the courtesies extended to a Colonel. they are THE expert and can quote things the authors of the manuals have to go back and check. Non flight warrants are still experts in their fields, but must work through the ranks to become a Sergeant (E-5) minimum to gain practical experience in their field. Non Commissioned Officers is what most not familiar with the Army would call Sergeants or Corporals. this encompasses ranks from E-4 (in the case of a Corporal) through E-8( Master Sergeant). they can be aircrew (crew chiefs, gunners, flight medics) and may unofficially get stick time, but are officially not allowed to fly the birds. there are still more senior NCO ranks but again they rarely fly even as crewmembers having alot more unit admin and leadership work to do. in fact the last NCO pilots in US service either got put out or commisioned after WW2, or moved to the Warrant Officer side of the house Stratos, another explanation of commission vs non commission is that the comissioned officer got their position thru education and is appointed by Congress to lead the troops. the Non Commissioned Officer comes up through the ranks and leads the enlisted Soldiers through their experience and gives guidance to the commissioned officers on how to accomplish the given missions. The Warrants are the subject matter experts in most cases, and the pool of available aviators in this case (still generally more knowledgeable than the ringknockers tho)

    Westland Wessex HU 5 / HC 2 This is an update to my previous upload of Westland Wessex HU 5 skins, I have tweaked the files that I previously uploaded, and have included skins for RAF , Royal Navy, and Oman, the original skins are ok should you wish to still use them, however, I would recommend you delete them and use these ones instead, the changes are minor, however there ARE some corrections. As stated in my previous upload, these skins require you to aquire the A-Team original, as you need the lods from there, if you need assistance on installing these skins please contact me via PM. Included skins are as follows 845 NAS based on HMS Bulwark in 1966, 847 NAS involved in the Falklands campaign, and 771 NAS Culdrose Air Sea Rescue. The RAF Skins consist of 78 SQN in early grey/green markings, also a grey/green later marked version from 18 SQN, a 72 SQN skin in winter grey/white, and a late version green/green from 60 SQN, the final RAF skin is for 22 SQN Air Sea Rescue. Finally I have included an Omani Army scheme. I have included all hangar and loading screens, for all 3 versions, also the pilots and the sound file that I use . The RAF and Omani aircraft are not operable from carriers, and all armament capability has been removed from them, as they never were armed to the best of my knowledge, the navy ones of course are, and are carrier operational. I believe everything is included, but of course errors and omissions do occur, so any issues or questions please feel free to message me and ask. One final comment, the serials and codes, are not 100% accurate for the aircraft portrayed, but they are in the right sort of range, so really not a huge issue, as they look right, even if maybe they are out of sequence or wrong for THAT particular airframe. I hope you enjoy these aircraft, as I said in my previous upload, the model is far from perfect, its acceptable, but nowhere near spot on, but, until one of our model making gurus makes a new one, we are stuck with this old lady. Finally, as always, ENJOY !!!

    SF2 Cessna 206H Pack by Wingzero 2/29/2020 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended, plus Exp 1) This is a full revamp, for SF2, of the SF/Wo* Cessna 206H "Stationair" by wingzero, originally released in 2010. This mod includes 2 skins: No.7 Squadron, Uruguaian Air Force (FAU) -start date 1998 USAF - this is a "What If..." skin, painted to match the T-41s used for USAF training and liason. All, if not most, markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. As a new 'homegrown' templague had to be created, it's included for skinners wishing to create any other users, or other types of skins. A userlist and loadout ini have been built. Please see the "Notes" section for more details. In-game, on the Aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll find it as: U-206H Stationair As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. One mnight also peruse the "Notes" section for things that might be interesting. The original release had NO readme, but I used the text from the SF1 announcement thread. It's included within the main aircraft's folder. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein

    View File WOE Mirage 4000 A & B - French Air Force This aircraft mod represents Dassault's probable initial Mirage 4000A fighter and its trainer B variant in the French Air Force service. Since the company always created several variants of each type based on costumer requirement and evolution of technology, other national oriented types and variants will be uploaded as separate packages. This package comes with 3 skin sets for each variant, 3 squadron specific for A (18 planes), and 3 squadron sets for B (8 planes) and special Tiger Meet skin for a single AC. This is the SF1 version, tested in WOE. There might be some hidden flaws in SFP1, WOV or WOI. Please report if you find some problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The FlightEngine.ini file is extracted from WOE, in order to edit the following part : [NearSceneClip] ... NearClipDistance=0.95 If you're using a SFP1, WOV or WOI install, make sure you can do this edit in the appropriate file. Be aware that it could have an effect on other mods (like "double canopy" issue) then you could adjust the value 0.01 to whatever you want (0.97 ? 1.0 ?) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the prototype variant, the 4 "blue tanks" are identical. Please note: The model can be quite heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lods(_nd,001,002,003) as lod1. The model uses the general french weapons, either as part of weapon packs or the Mirage 2000 family. Important: The B variant comes with 2 types of cockpit, the basic setup will use a simple pit that has only the pilots cabin instrumented. The other is a fully modeled front and rear compartment, in which you want to fly you should activate the proper line in the AC's.ini file. CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000B_Cockpit.ini <---- basic setup ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000B_Cockpit_full1.ini <------ front seat ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000B_Cockpit_full2.ini <------ rear seat Be aware - the piloting seat position can not be changed during/in game, so chose wisely! Make sure to read the manual included with the package. ---------------------- Creators of these Aircraft mods as members of CombatAce site: Original 3D work: Cocas Aircraft 3d update and additional changes: Logan4 Cockpit 3d work: Logan4 Aircraft FM: Cliff7600 Aircraft avionics: Loborojo, Cliff7600, logan4 Skin files and decals: Flogger23, Cliff7600, logan4, loborojo Cockpit files: Logan4, Cliff7600 Thanks to Crusader for additional brochure files Big thanks to members of CombatAce for helping and answering our questions and in sorting out some of the issues we got while creating this mod.

    In Michigan Governor Whitmer just had a press conference. 549 confirmed cases in the state and three deaths. She has asked for sufficient Federal funds to fully activate the National Guard for the purposes of distribution of necessities to residents in need. Martial Law rumors are False! Michigan businesses are working to locally produce protective equipment and ventilators. Edit: I missed a couple of things. The Governor ordered all evictions in the state halted. Also 152 members of the Detroit Police Department are quarantined following 10 members testing positive for COVID-19.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of the entire BMS development team, I am happy to announce that the latest iteration of the Billion Soft Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.34 U3 - is available for you to enjoy as of RIGHT NOW! BMS 4.34 U3 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message. U3 is an incremental update on top of 4.34 base + U1 + U2, so you need to have the BMS 4.34 Full Installer package and Update 1 and Update 2 available on your PC. You can both update your existing 4.34 base + U1 + U2 installation as well as perform a fresh 4.34 base + U1 + U2 + U3 installation from scratch, as you like. See the installation instructions below for details. This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Billion Soft (Hong Kong) Limited and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you. https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?38540-Falcon-BMS-4-34-U3-Incremental-Installer&p=533414#post533414

    My Father flew as a "check" pilot, on BRIXMIT, he always told me he was just flying as a check pilot, for trainees undergoing blind flying instruction, however, Dad was a Flight Engineer, , although he was training as a pilot himself around that time, however when they made it obligatory for all RAF pilots to be commissioned, he told 'em to shove it, and reverted back to Flight Engineer. So the idea of him flying as a check pilot was a little odd also his flying logs for the time are a little......sparse on information, however, flying, in Germany, in Chippies, around this time....Well add 2 and 2 , and Bob is yer Mum's Brother.

    Here is spooky map: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html Denmark: "the responsible Government Virus Institute cannot recognize the numbers, and they do not know who gives Hopkins the figures [for their map]." Afrika: Generally the clinics there do not have the means to determine anything like this at all. For example: I have been told personally by a doctor for tropical diseases, in the top hospital of my country, that they do not know a single trustable clinic in Nigeria. Not one. When it gets beyond the obvious they will say it is Malaria to be done with it.

    Hi there guys, I want to show you the project that I am working on right now: An Orion spacecraft to use in the Moon terrain. I am taking my time doing it but it slowly progresses! Now that I finished the modelling part of the capsule itself, I want to take this opportunity to learn better texturing, and since I already know the basics of unwrapping, I want to ask you for any advice or tutorial in order to paint a decent map (I use photoshop), and also I want to try using Bump and Specular maps here. I will appreciate any knowledge! Thank you My idea is to make something like this, the normal spacecraft composed by modules, but the middle one dedicated to weaponry and military systems, as it would be an Orion capsule retrofitted to serve as a space fighter/attacker. In fact, the middle module could be interchangable depending on the mission (small with missiles for fighters, with automated cannons to escort or large with a lot of hardpoints to attach bombs for bombers). This could lead to different versions of the spacecraft in separated Aircraft folders.

    Unified Effects Pack For Strike Fighters Series 2 version 1.0 26 FEB 2011 This effects pack is a compilation of many effects I did over the years for Strike Fighters and First Eagles series of flight simulators by Thirdwire. Build around "Desert Storm FX Pack beta" released in early 2009, this pack replaces most of the stock effects with new ones, most of them volumeric or "3D" in appearance. Also used are few reworked/tuned down effects from my "Hollywood Explosions" mod, aswell as several never before relased ones.
