I was thinking the same thing...what would you do if you were damaged but your engine was running okay? Simple, pitch out of the fight and run home via the fastest, shortest method (ie a straight line). If your opponent has no missiles...all you have to do is get out of gun range. FC

"It's 2 different models" Sorry, I couldn't help it... FC

Yep...just make a copy of the specific MOD folder and you're good to go. FC

I'd hope so! You're about .9 Mach at that point...a lot of the airframe would already be supersonic! Mach tuck anyone? FC

No worries...but I'll tell ya, I never think in MPH when it comes to aircraft. Knots and NM are just so much easier to use because the math is much simpler, especially when you throw angles into the mix. FC

SEE? I KNEW there was a need for such a thing... I've been trying to incorporate such a thing...but it causes too much weirdness when the aircraft are static... FC

Things are progressing...a few teasers have been released. Check the screenshot forums. FC

Try it yourself and see what happens. You can either edit the main aircraft ini (say F-51D.INI) to point at a different COCKPIT.INI file (and maybe a different AVIONICS.INI file). Or within the COCKPIT.INI file, type out the path name for the cockpit LOD file. But, you may have to change the path references for all the avionic bitmaps...which may need editing in the AVIONICS.INI and COCKPIT.INI files. Also, if the cockpit you are using has hardpoint indicators, you may end up with strange results if you try to use a common COCKPIT.INI file because the hardpoint (Weapon Station) references may be different for each aircraft. FC

That's not an F-4, it's an F/A-18F Super Hornet. Secondly, can you point out the specific intake and specific 'piece of metal' you are talking about? FC

What USAFMTL forgot to mention is that this guy is so obnoxious that 4 separate sites have banned him... You have to work to get banned like that. FC

Win7 quite honestly is what Vista should have been. I can count literally on one hand the number of applications that run in XP that I cannot get to run in Win7 64-bit. (Jane's F-15, Interstate 76, BattleZone) It's fast and stable, yet runs darn near everything designed for Win95 or later. FC

Also, if you're using DX9, you may be able to use the enbseries dx9 mod. It's been found to speed up frame rates, while giving some graphical enhancements such as HDR and DOF: FC

Yea...I have many Vietnamese friends here who would strongly disagree with that statement. For that matter, as an ethnic Korean, I will quite happily keep South Korea separate from North Korea if "their finest hour" is defined as the same thing. FC

Good riddance to bad rubbish! FC

Waaaay too broad of a question. You have to remember that war is simply the use of force to achieve political objectives. So to win a war, you have to consider the political objectives of both sides. Also, air power is very rarely used in a vacuum. Air power can be used for strategic objectives (infrastructure) or tactical objectives (tanks, troops, etc). How air power is used to achieve those objectives, and how relevant those objectives are to the overall situation will determine how effective air power is overall in the conflict. For instance, it can be argued that for the Pacific part of WWII and for Desert Storm, air power was an essential part of the strategy that achieved the overall political objective in a relatively timely manner. However, Vietnam and Korea were examples of air power being less decisive, partially because the political objectives were significantly different. In my opinion, the only way air power by itself could decisively win a war is if your objective is utter destruction...genocidally wiping a specific piece of territory clean of anyone who lives there through the use of air-deliverable weapons. Any other objective, then it becomes a matter of 'it depends'. FC

Now, THAT would be funny as hell... "Congratulations dumb ass! For trying to be sneaky, you are awarded a virus! Welcome to the internet!" It just keeps getting better, every time I hear it. FC

This is very true...thank God! FC

But, it's Full Metal Jacket...nuff said! FC

I like this version better... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruei3y9O1BI FC

Damn!!! FC

Only thing I did for application specific override was pick the screen res that matched my aspect ratio and clicked 'Try High Res'. Oh, and I very specifically am NOT running in Compability Mode...I've noticed for Win98/95 games that it actually will restrict was Glidewrapper can do... That's pretty much it. FC

Yep. WinXP only though. http://forum.combatace.com/topic/20530-still-looking-for-strike-eagle-sim/page__view__findpost__p__89860 FC

Playing with the DOF parameter (images untouched)... FC

Making a tank is easy, piloting a tank is easy. Getting the AI to do something useful with it... FC

Yea, I tried that too and it didn't work... FC
