Lexx, Your method is old and will affect every aircraft. If he doesn't want to screw up his other aircraft, he needs a different method. Pappa Goat, please read this thread: http://combatace.com/topic/32148-something-new-has-been-added/ It will tell you how to do it for the first generation of sims (SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI). You must be running the Oct 08 version of the sim to get it to work though, earlier patch versions will not work. VF

Del's T-6 model is superb. I honest wish I had his skills in making a decent cockpit for the T-38...the stand-in F-5A cockpit just isn't the same. Nice work.

Well, if they have the MAX files, and 3ds Max 2009, they should be able to fairly easily. VR

Right. Basically, unless the model has bump mapping enabled when the LOD is created, there is no way to have real bump mapping for LODs. FC

I'm annoyed that NY and DC got a shuttle...with CA and FL getting one, that means there are no Shuttles anywhere close to the center of the country. Couldn't have at least the NY shuttle gone somewhere else, considering NY and DC are damn near in spitting distance of each other. FC

To Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and all who came after... To 50 years of manned space flight! VR

Skatezilla, I have MAX models setup for the TW sims for the Super Hornet and F-35C that are freely available (99% sure the original owners wouldn't mind with proper credit). I have an F-14 available as well, but I need to get permission from Sony to release it to you (it's a MF product). I also have an A-6, A-7, S-60 and EA-6B that were converted from Google Sketchup. They have not been setup to be in the TW sims, so might take some work. They would all be in Max 2009 format...could you use these? FC

Seizures? Interesting. Depending on what's causing them, it could explain a lot... FC

Uh...hello: http://www.snopes.com/science/microwave/plants.asp How about we don't blindly repeat something we saw on the internet without independent verification first. FC

Already responded to the PM...it's a missing or incorrect normal map. FC

Hey gents, Just picked up this book while on a layover: The Battle for the Falklands Looks like a 1st Edition (North America) in hardback...found it at the Goodwill near the hotel that I have a layover at. Anyone read this book? I've been reading reviews about it, seems fairly accurate, if one-sided, in a dry, historical way. Opinions? (On the book, not the conflict) FC

I'm wondering what their cycle rate is compared to other 737 users. FC

SW, What is it with you and toilets in aircraft... ? CT, good to hear the Bones taking care of business. Hope all the drivers make it back with no surprises... FC

If you do that, the 'pod' may not 'hang' or load properly. Did you test this first? FC

Somebody hasn't been paying attention... Also, that first website you posted is inaccurate. There were no plans for the F-108A to carry 20mm cannon (or any guns for that matter). FC

As my interest has resurged in rocketry, I've been amazed at the advances in High Power Rocketry (or HPR, or LDRS). This was done almost 2 years ago in honor of the Moon landing...you REALLY need to see the beginning to get an idea of how big a 1/10 scale Saturn V is: and the related article: The story of the biggest scale model rocket ever built Wish I had seen this in person...other videos really show how LOUD this thing was when it flew. And this is a hobby... FC

False - Though I have one of those 'old school' emulation boxes that I fire up occasionally... The person below me doesn't know what a 'Recognizer' is...

Happy Birthday...slacker! FC

Congrats! FC

It's in there. Look SLOWLY for a line that says 'Screen Shots'. In the first group of commands. FC

DEVIL11, Look in your Options screen at the Controls section, Customize Keyboard. Find the key that says 'Take Screenshot'. While playing the sim, use that key to take a screenshot...it will save a picture of the screen to your 'Screenshots' folder. Then exit the game, go to that folder, and find your screenshot and post it here. FC

Lexx, what is it with you and shiny objects? Streak, yea, my model rocketry experience was pretty similar (X-15, Astron Transport,etc) though I wasn't a big fan of payloaders. Even did the handheld 'tube' launch rocket when I was young and stupid...however, I didn't set anything on fire! But instead of 3 "D"s in series, I did 4 "D"s in parallel on a 1/5 scale Estes Patriot: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/catalogs/estes92/92est2.html Technically, I was heading into High Power Rocketry...that thing roared off the pad and was awesome in flight. She had a couple of successful flights before I retired her...she sits as a display piece. I was big into scale rockets, Saturn V, Saturn IB, Bomarc, Tomahawk, etc. Custom built a lot of rockets too, even scale models. It's funny, hearing your story about setting something on fire makes me lean even more toward being an NAR member. Unlike when I was a kid, as an older adult, there are serious liability concerns. I like the idea of having cheap insurance if something happens ($60 a year for NAR membership which includes 2 million dollar insurance policy...not worried about hurting someone, but a fire...yea I could see that in a dry TX summer). Also, though model rocketry in general has been in decline, HPR has increased a lot, and all sorts of cottage industries have sprung up. There are companies that make replicas of old Estes kits, or specialized parts, or conversions, etc. Just bought myself an Astron Transport...I plan to use the info to 'upscale' it to something larger. And now with modern printers, decals are no longer a hindrance...just make your own! FC

Okay. Next time, follow the installation instructions for the Classified Mission Mod precisely. The mod CANNOT screw up your install if you follow the instructions...it has been ops tested several dozen times and was written to be 'new guy' friendly. FC

Okay. Lets start at the beginning. What operating system and what SF2 sims do you have? FC

Okay. Make sure the Options.ini file in your mod directory is not set to 'Read-Only' in the Properties panel. FC
