That was pretty cool! I wonder if they had to do any prep for the landing site other than putting up the markers... FC

Also, there are flags that can be set in MAX that will tell a mesh to not cast or catc h a shadow....earlier models tend to have these flags at random verses later versions. FC

I have never seen any object not cast a shadow at all if the proper entries are in the ini. At least SOME parts of the model will cast a shadow...something else is going on there. FC

It's more complicated than that. You can have open meshes and cast a shadow just fine...what matters is how "convex" that mesh is. Also, the 'spikes' are typically caused when an object has a vertex (or several) that cause meshes to do things they can't do in reality. One of the most common is 2 meshes joined by only one vertex.

KB, where ya been brudda? Second, I assume that's a stand-in for an actual U-2R model....otherwise, our resident Deuce driver may object....:). FC

Disney is buying Lucasarts for 4 Billion.... http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/10/disney-to-acquire-lucasfilms-for-4-billion/ FC

morteza, I'm assuming the translation filter is having issues and that you wanting aircraft for a flight sim is not an actual emergency. Creating content, especially 3d objects, takes time, energy and money for the software licence. It is okay to ask for something once or twice....but any more than that starts becoming irritating. If someone wants to create the content, they will. But no amount of continued cajoling will make it happen any faster, and can in fact have the opposite effect. My suggestion is to wait and be patient...or, learn the skills yourself to contribute to the community.

Go into your 'Controls' folder and move (or delete) the files you find there. Then start the game and go into the Controls option. You should find everything has been reset to default. Build a new keymap with your preferences and save and it should work properly. You should only have to do this once. FC

There are parameters listed in the ini's which can be used to avoid this problem. One, you can limit the size of the parking slot. This in combination with using the proper size parameters in the aircraft data.ini will result in the aircraft not appearing where it shouldn't. Two, limit the number of parking slots. Three, adjust the visibility of the lower detailed LODs so they show up closer. Four, adjust your shadow settings (this plus the view distance are usually the biggest frame rate killers). FC

In campaign they will only pop up if designated in the campaign. In single mission, they will pop up as long as the mission type, service, theatre, and years of availability all match up to allow them to. FC

Must be a country limited thing...PayPal shows up as an option here. FC

That one piece canopy looks like it was part of the original design....nice... FC

Cool! Question...wasn't there also a proposal to replace the front windscreen with a one piece unit? FC

Well, download it and look in the Flaps to see if it is a hardcoded animation. If so, modify the data.ini with an entry similar to other aircraft that have things like open canopies on the ground. FC

Depends on the aircraft and if it uses hardcoded animations for the flaps. FC

Thanks Jeff.

Anyone know how reputable are these guys? What kind of CP they use for the downloadable stuff? Or is it the CP that is in the program only?

Here is what we were exploring: http://combatace.com/topic/61382-add-anything-to-a-ship/ FC

Yeah, that AGP card is long since out of date.. But there are options: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007850&IsNodeId=1&name=AGP%204X%2f8X FC

Or....

It's a pretty nice museum...I took a tour there on a layover. My interest was mainly focused on the front end of the CF-105 and the BOMARC missile on display. FC

If this was Florida, I'd agree with you. But, the reason you don't see this in the NJ/NY is the same reason you don't see snow plow equipment in Miami...it just doesn't happen that often up there. Probability and frequency are low. This is different from New Orleans, where frequency was low but proability was high. FC

Oh yeah...fuel leaks definitely are there. Hell, I remember one time getting an engine shot out...limped home on the remaining one. Couldn't even autopilot because the game would say 'Too damaged!'... FC
