  1. Wrong one. You need to use the weapon editor that came with Bunyaps weapon pack. FastCargo
  2. Did you use the right weapons editor? The one for use with WOE/WOV/SFP1 is NOT the one to be used for WOI. FastCargo
  3. Effective camoflage on aircraft are dependent on a whole buttload of factors...everything from time of day to what direction you are flying. Visual camoflage has always been more an art than a science...some of the things that sound obvious on the ground are totally invalid in the air. Some famous examples: In WWII, the Luftwaffe figured out pretty quickly that the most effective night camo wasn't black, but a light blue... The F-15 initially came out in a robin egg blue...which was quickly replaced by a all over grey in Europe when it was discovered that sky blue is great in Fort Worth...not so effective in the European theatre. One of the hardest colors to see the skies over Texas isn't grey...but white. Yep, one of the most visible colors in the spectrum was actually very difficult to pick out during the Texas summer due to the haze... Bounder is correct...the human eye picks up movement far sooner than contrast in most situations. And why 'pause and peer' works better than 'pan and scan'. FastCargo
  4. 2 weeks! Well, the F-20 is around...not being worked on by me...but I know who has it in their hot hands... As far as the T-38 goes, yep, in work...lots of personal stuff has slowed my projects down more than expected...that and I was an idiot trying to do three T-38 and two F-5 variants all at once. FastCargo
  5. Don't be so sure...strange things are afoot at the Mirage Factory... FastCargo

    Thank You MK2

    Thanks MK2...if it wasn't for this site, I probably would have never gotten into TW sims like I have. FastCargo
  7. This thread for an example: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...0vark&st=15 FastCargo
  8. What exactly is different about the doors? If it's something that just needs to be thickened (ie you could add something to the doors) you CAN do it...it's a pain and takes lots of trial and error...but it is possible without access to the F-4 3ds max model. FastCargo
  9. Did you patch the game? FastCargo
  10. In work. Standby to standby. FastCargo
  11. Damn rugg...that's some REALLY nice stuff... FastCargo
  12. Like? FastCargo
  13. Yep, dwcace is correct. Very few large aircraft controls are 'unmirrored'...ie you can use the same hand. The B-1 is an exception...it has dual throttles, so a person can sit in either seat with no additional training. FastCargo
  14. Yea, I was sort of shocked myself... FastCargo
  15. Doesn't work properly in any FE version past initial release...FM was porked. Unless someone fixed it... FastCargo
  16. They are classified as ground objects. Actually, I wouldn't be TOO sure about not being able to move them...I've been thinking about adding some 'movement' entries into a balloon data ini to see if I can get them to move. Right now, the zepplin addons for FE were porked and are unusable due to the FM changes in the FE patches. Reassigning them as 'balloons' that can move would help bring them back into game. And btw, balloons work just fine in WOI...in fact, they do NOT work in SFP1/WOV/WOE at the moment. Check my 'ASAT' download for details...the 'satellite' is simply a balloon placed REALLY high... FastCargo
  17. Rugg and SayWhat certainly have good points. Maybe a compromise is a 'level of evidence' clause. DNA can be used to exonerate folks...can it be used to confirm old cases as well? FastCargo
  18. This isn't as unclear as people make it out to be. Assuming the fetus is considered alive at conception it's pretty straight forward: Woman chooses no baby = dead fetus Woman chooses baby = live fetus Now, before ANYONE jumps in my chili, I know there are some very valid exceptions (rape, incest, danger to woman, failure of birth control, etc). But assuming it was 2 consentual adults who created the baby, it's now a responsibility that was walked into. You can either kill a fetus so you're not inconvienced or you can bring it to term. After that, you can either take responsibility (both parents), or you can give it up for adoption. Killing a fetus because it'll make you feel better or to make your life easier or to escape consequences of your actions seems very irresponsible. Now, the questions of when a fetus is considered 'alive' and what's the best way to prevent young pregnancies in the first place due to hormone filled teenagers is something I don't have the answer for... FastCargo
  19. You know, this viewpoint makes absolute no sense by any means. Why is it that the people (not all the time) who have no problem with killing a baby because it's 'a bad time' to have one are typically the same people who let scumbags like child rapists who have caused harm to society and others continue to be a burden to society. In other words, why is it okay to kill someone who hasn't started life yet, but it isn't okay to kill someone who has squandered their life with irrepairable harm to others? Personally, if I ever found out someone hurt my kids...there is not enough pain in the world to equal what that person would suffer if I got the chance. As far as that defense attorney/state rep goes...did he think using language like that was going to help his cause? Okay, we get it, he's a defense attorney...he may have to be put in the situation where he does have to cross examine a child. But that speech, he sounded like he would sadistically enjoy the issue. Guess he's not going to be in office much longer... I think part of the problem with the legal system is that it used to be that a courtroom was supposed to be a crucible to find out the truth of what happened and act appropriately. Now it seems, it's morphed into a way to obfuscate the truth instead to one's own advantage. Rant off... FastCargo
  20. Yea, what he said! Let me tell you a story...this happened in 1999. My wife is Canadian, born and raised. At the time we got married, I was living in Del Rio, TX, 3 miles from the US/Mexico border. After all the hoop jumping that we had to do so we could married in Tampa, FL, a last-second snag popped up. Basically, she had gotten this 'checklist' of things to do to make sure her visa was all lined up and got it all done 3 days before she was scheduled to depart to Tampa. However, when she turned in her list, she then was handed ANOTHER checklist, saying 'Oh yeah, you gotta get this done too'. I exploded with a giant 'WTF?' at the State Department...why couldn't they have given us just ONE overall checklist! Well, I called my Congressman in Florida, and had a not so nice conversation... And happened to ask him point blank, exactly why is it that I see illegals easily getting in...but my soon to be wife, who has a masters degree, and whose country we share a border BUT NOT A FENCE with, gets harrassed because you don't have your sierra together enough to make one simple checklist?!?!?! It got fixed. Anyway, back on topic...biases exist everywhere. We are products of many influences growing up. When we're younger, these generalizations make life simpler. But, as we get older and start making our own judgements, and figure out that life isn't quite one or zero, we use our intelligence to overcome those biases by applying logic to varying degrees. Respect has to go both ways. And also, sensitivity is overrated. Either you can't offend anyone, or you have to offend everyone. I'll take offend everyone please... FastCargo
  21. Hahaha....I HATE when that happens... FastCargo
