  1. Awesome Gunny...can't wait to make some more scrap metal! FC
  2. Also, if you have SF2, download the F-15 Super Pack, it updates a lot of the F-15s to SF2 standards with several improvements. FC

  3. Vehicles on runway

    FastCargo replied to emengency's topic in Falcon 4 Series

    Hey Hag, Tell you what...I'm an airline pilot and a military pilot. The runway stays clear when an emergency (or any aircraft) is on short final. There is no one in the way for an emergency aircraft to land. Any vehicles, even inspectors, get out of the way until that jet is rolling out. Once that emergency aircraft is rolling out, then you'll see vehicles on the runway, crash response, inspections, etc. The exception I've done is riding chase on Deuces landing at Beale AFB. But what the hell do I know...been flying aircraft for 20+ years. So, you can either give helpful advice, or you can leave. FC
  4. Yes...the problem with exporting with decals is the frame rate can take a hit (but it solves the bleeding decals issue). However, this can be easily circumvented by exporting 2 models...one with decals, one without. Use the 'decaled' LOD for your closest mesh, then the 'non'-decaled LODs for all the other versions. Assuming the distance is set right, bleed won't be noticed on the farther away LODs. It's a good workaround...allows for no bleed versions, without a huge frame rate hit since the sky isn't filled with them... FC
  5. The SF2 series does NOT require a weapondata.ini. FC
  6. I haven't had a chance yet...but I would imagine it's like any other mission...all text. Just my thinkin...could be totally smokin crack... FC

  7. Reaper at the USAF Museum.....

    FastCargo replied to Dave's topic in Military and General Aviation

    And don't let anyone fool you...there have been several problems with UAVs that have shown the weaknesses in the technology. The magical automonous robot plane isn't going to be around for a while. FC

  8. Reaper at the USAF Museum.....

    FastCargo replied to Dave's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Actually had a sf writer express the same 3 laws concern, which really makes no sense. Today's 'robots' are not aware enough to understand the concepts in the 3 laws. They're still basically large R/C aircraft. FC
  9. I've actually thought about it.... FC
  10. TK mentioned that he was going to put a 'flag' in the ini files for aircraft with data ini CGs different from the CG of the LOD file...that's what caused the 'moved' cockpits in the first place. Find that 'flag' in the updated data.ini's of the stock aircraft, insert that into the data.ini of the affected 3rd party aircraft, and that should fix the 're-moved' cockpits... Which means I have to fix the Northrop 2-seaters and the F-111s....AGAIN... FC
  11. You don't have to have YAP to have a drag chute... FC

  12. OT Message to the Tornado Crew

    FastCargo replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion

    Yes, they have. Damn it. I would say the loudest jet noise I've heard was the sound of 2 B-1Bs taking off at a 12 second interval on parallel runways at Nellis AFB during flag. Me and a bud, since we weren't flying that day, decided to go out between the runways to watch. First and only time I've ever actually gotten physically ill from noise...and I flew the damn things! Surprisingly, a F-22 is nearly as loud as a B-1B all by itself...that's some serious power. The best flyby was at home when my wife and I are working out in the yard. We live under the base leg of the airport nearby, and so we see commerical and light aircraft traffic a lot. However, we were hearing a steadily increasing prop noise that didn't sound familiar...when all of a sudden 2 B-25s with 2 T-6s roared overhead at about 1000 AGL. My neighbors thought I was probably the biggest idiot jumping around my yard like a schoolkid, laughing and grinning like a maniac afterward! Coolest unintentional flyby ever! FC

  13. Flight Simmers and their books

    FastCargo replied to Sakai's topic in The Pub

    Oh lord...there is no way I could list ALL the aviation books I have. I have an entire room set up as a library just for books. My aviation books alone take up at least 2 standard 8 foot high shelves...at least... I'm not even including my paperback collection... FC
  14. EasyBCD is a VERY useful tool for multi-boot setups...works great for my Win7 / WinXP / Mac OSX tri boot install. FC
  15. Sure, look at the Razbam stuff. Specifically, their newest jet creation (the F-102) is compatible with SF2. Just for the cockpit alone I bought that one! FC
  16. Payware or not is a personal choice...buying or selling. Nothing wrong with either choice. Now, just like anything else, there are good dudes and jerks on either side, so you deal with them (or not) on an individual basis. Personally, I won't make payware, because there is an expectation (and rightly so) of a quality level and customer service. I hate people, so I keep my stuff freeware so I'm 'free' to tell folks to get bent if they don't like it... FC
  17. Dude, lay off the ganga mon... FC
  18. Doing some interdiction on the 'trail'... still an awesome mod you guys did. FC
  19. Folks, Sieben's reasons are his own. The only reason he posted that he was leaving was to try to leave. Sieben, not sure why you want to leave...but we'll keep the door open if you want to come back. Far as I can tell, you've never caused any problems here. If you want to alter your profile to remove all your personal information, that's easy enough to do on your own. Check in the upper right corner on your profile page...you'll see a button called 'Edit My Profile'. And with that, this topic is closed. For anyone else, please keep any speculations to yourself.

    Outstanding! Congrats on getting your wings! Now the hard part starts... FC

  21. What is the UK becoming?

    FastCargo replied to Fortiesboy's topic in The Pub

    Rugg beat me to it. I do WHATEVER it takes to protect my family. If there is an unknown in the house, you don't have time. You don't know the tactical situation, their intent, how many there are, etc. They broke into a home, willing to risk the chance of getting caught. Are you really willing to bet your life or the life of your family on the possibility that the person(s) who broke in your house are not going to do anything more than steal something? Taking a life is a very serious thing, and I HATE the idea of ever having to do so. But if it's necessary to make sure my family is safe inside my own house...the target gets enough time for me to identify that they are not part of my family. And that's it. FC

It was used as a target because I was able to find decent photos of it to build off of. The ASAT missile was test fired once (and had a successful intercept), but was never approved for production. I have not found any way to incorperate the satellite into a campaign and have it be designated as a target in a mission. However, if anyone that's good at building single missions wants to incorperate it into a single mission, feel free to do so.

  25. In reality, the F-102 and F-106 vis out the front when landing was simply not that great. For all intents and purposes, every landing was a no-flap landing...which means for delta wings, you have to have a fairly high AOA relatively speaking once in the flare. Speaking as a person who's done more than their fair share of no-flap landings without being able to actually see in front of me...it can be done consistently. FC
