Why? You can have multiple installs on the same computer... Ask some guys here...they have LOTS! FastCargo

I wonder if I know that guy... FastCargo

DeatWing....listen very carefully. Do NOT install Nato Fighters 1 and/or 2 in your modded WOV/WOE directory...you WILL screw up WOV/WOE. Nato Fighters 1 and 2 is meant to be put in it's own WOE install...make a separate WOE install, then install Nato Fighters into it. FastCargo

This is where you went wrong right here. You need to copy those LOD files into the "Your 3rd Wire directory"/Objects/Aircraft folder where all your pilots are...NOT into the F-14 directory. FastCargo

Well, I think that's part of it...there's a lot of areas where people grow up, old and die without ever leaving a 50 mile radius. When you have entire communities like that, it can be real hard to shake outdated attitudes. I think that's one of the best things the military does...it forces people from different races to work together. You either get along, or you don't last real long. That being said, racism goes both ways...I've seen attitudes in both directions that concern me. Also, I don't take TOO much stake in this poll...they sampled 1,125 people...which means they drew their conclusions based on 0.0005 percent of the US population. FastCargo

Nope...also, the links have to be in order. 1 overall parent mesh, then submeshes in logical order. FastCargo

You didn't link the parts of the mesh. And you didn't assign a material to the mesh. You need to read the Thirdwire exporter notes as noted in your 'Learjet' thread. FastCargo

Interesting article...thanks! I was surprised by how much the UK spends...I thought it was significantly less. Also, before anyone makes a big deal about the amount of money spent by the US on defense...spending as a percentage of GDP (gross domestic product) is around 4%...which is roughly 'slightly above average' in terms of world numbers in percentage. And is still lower than at almost anytime in the last century (the exception being the mid to late 1990s). In other words...we spend a lot...but we make a lot... FastCargo

2 googleplex? FastCargo

Did you look at the date of the post? FastCargo

Depends, how did you do it? If you have them in a 'bombbay', I believe bombbays can only fit 28 weapons at a time. However, you can put in multiple bombbays... FastCargo

Explosives is the power of the warhead measured in kilograms of TNT...I think. ClusterBomblets is number of bomblets in a CBU container. Now I'm not sure if Explosives for a CBU equals total explosive power or power per bomblet. FastCargo

I think you guys are misunderstanding what Mike is saying. What he's saying is that we try to make the training more difficult than the actual conflict would be. In other worlds either hobble ourselves (not using all the modes available in the F-15s radar for instance) or make the OPFOR more difficult and smarter than they would be in reality. FastCargo

Yeah...go figure... FastCargo

Also, I will tell you that unless you have a lot of experience in 3d modeling, that may not be the best way to start modding in this series. But like everyone else has said, hit the Knowledge Base FIRST! FastCargo

Drdoyo, Hey man, I fly in that same business too ya know...I certainly understand the risks involved there. Tomcat_ace, the message all of us are trying to get across is that aviation itself is inherently risky. You can be totally on your A game, have all the money, time, equipment needed...and still not come home that day. FastCargo

Picture of the old mod (using an F-111A lod with bits added on by me): Nice skin there Sundowner... Anyway, now that the MAX files have been located, a better proper model will be out later... FastCargo

Are you trying to change the balloon altitude in FE? This is from my WOI ASAT package which includes a 'satellite'. The 'satellite' is simply a balloon that has been placed REALLY high. Note the area in bold: Hope this helps. FastCargo

Well, I'm a big fan of Turtledove's stuff...and I have just about (not all) of the books in that particular timeline. They're pretty good...though sometimes it can get overwhelming with all the characters. FastCargo

Scrapper, You haven't assigned a material to it yet, that's why it's that bright white. FastCargo

As far as I know, the CF-188 uses the same pit and aircraft model as the F/A-18. I would say apply the fix as listed, then simply rename everything in the new F/A-18 directory as CF-188. That's my guess. FastCargo

No...spent 6 years of my life at Laughlin, currently at Randolph. If he ends up being a T-38 FAIP, I'll probably see him there. FastCargo

It truly is all relative. An example is this: Laughlin AFB in Texas is one of the USAFs basic Pilot Training bases of the 4 that we have. There are so many traffic movements (defined as takeoffs and landings) that we usually EXCEED the busiest airports in the world. That's for ONE base for ONE branch of the military service...for BASIC pilot training. Multiply that by the number of bases, by the number of programs (transition, weapon system checkout and operations) and you start to truly get an idea how much we fly. With those kinds of rates...statistics simply start catching up. As I was telling someone else on another message board who made the very foolish statement that safety should always be first: We try like hell to manage risk... but sometimes, it's not your day. It's sad when it happens...I've buried more friends than I care to think about. But we try to learn lessons from it and go from there. FastCargo

Because campaign makers do not own all the pieces needed. There are complete campaigns out there...but most of them are over 100 MB in size. FastCargo
