I know...but when I was testing the refueler concept , I tried it on a few aircraft and noticed if I held the TV control long enough, the 'engine' would break, breaking all the other engines on the aircraft and giving results exactly like the original poster experienced. It's the simplest explanation I can think of...only because it matches what I experienced. FC

And the XF-103 will fire unguided rockets as well at air targets...just for some reason they can't hit anything! FC

Engine nozzles typically are animated using vertex scaling. Scaling I assume you are familiar with...I'd imagine you had to do some of that to build the model. Basically, it's the same as regular animation, except you are scaling vertices, not moving the mesh. FC

Also, in the data.ini's you'll notice parameters called MinExtent and MaxExtent. These define a 'hitbox' for the particular part they are assigned to. You'll notice even the pilots have hitboxes. So it's quite possible to have a bullet strike the pilot hitbox and not hit anything else and kill you. FC

Actually, you CAN get the rocket tray to extend, assuming it's an animation. An example from the F-35A (note the text in bold): [internalGun] SystemType=FIXED_GUN GunPortAnimationID=4 GunPortAnimationTime=0.2 GunTypeName=25MM_GAU-22/A InputName=FIRE_PRIMARY_GUN MuzzlePosition=-1.439,2.614,0.454 LightPosition=-1.439,2.614,0.454 AimAngles=0.0,-1.875,0.0 MaxAmmo=180 EjectShells=FALSE MinExtentPosition= MaxExtentPosition= That's pretty much it...I think that should work. I forgot who told me about it originally (JAT?). FC

AF recruiting video...yeah right. Buried more than a few friends in the supposedly 'easier' USAF. As far as why the Phantom blew up...it was a PIO...he exceeded the structural G limits on a high speed flyby. FC

Do you have any other aircraft or scenery addons? This was discussed in another thread...the sim will start not loading textures if you're running out of video memory. That may be what you are seeing here. FC

The root cause of the issue is the Thrust Vectoring setup used in the refueler mod. If the thrust vector controls are set 'out of range', the refueling 'engine' will fail, causing all the engines to fail. Don't ask me why this happens...I'm not sure. The solution may be to make another 'dummy' engine with thrust vectoring that has no thrust, that way you can assign a 'range' of motion for the TV, which will then constrain the refueling engine. It's something that needs to be tested before it can be released. FC

This damn jet needs decals... FC

Pappy! I need you to PM me... FC

The mod was not built to be compatible with SF2. That being said, try the following: Go into the data.ini, find the following line: SystemName[xxx]=Refueler (or something similiar) Delete the line. Save and try again. FC

I have an idea of what it might be if the delete/redownload/reinstall doesn't work. I'll wait for his results first. FC

Delete the FA-18s, redownload, and reinstall. FC

The Bone project is dead due to crippling CTDs. FC

Sag decided not to release it. FC

It's the government...whatta expect? No, I'm not kidding. FC

Ease off on the coffee a bit there... FC

Also, you could say that although the planet wasn't destroyed per se, the 'dinosaur killer' certainly did a nice job on the biosphere. But, yea, sort of reminds you that humans have nothing on the Universe in terms of being able to destroy things. FC

The answers are yes, no, and it depends. Not necessarily in that order. FC PS And until my new computer arrives, my screenshots are going to suck...an ATI 7500 with 32MB of video memory does not a good screenshot make.

Since he asked why there is no news. The tone of the question can be interpreted as demanding. On the other hand, had he simply asked if there were any updates, not a big deal...that's a good question. Does everyone understand the difference in the way the question is asked? And I'd assume that the folks working on these mods will update when they feel they can. FC

Since when are people obligated to give you news? FC

Nope...Payne Harrison I think... FC
