IMHO The most comprehensive and sane analysis of the disturbance to date, Respect Streak

My most repeated phrase for times like these: "I have a plan, I don't know what it is.. but it is a plan" lol no worries, it will just take a lot of time which I don't have right now but after Xmas work should relax a little then theres a lot of reading up any threads which relate to terrain modding, oh and visiting the Terrain Guru's mountain hideout of course, maybe I should ask the Great A'tuin

I see, i'm readin the construction tips on Major Lee's aerodrome right now and it says pretty much the same. I wouldn't have any more of a problem playing over a 60% sized mid east than 60% sized Germany or South East Asia. At the end of the day it will be hard to learn terrain creation as it is, so if it's a little harder to learn to use the EAWEuro files, so be it im up for it! However the increase in realism would obviously mean longer time getting from a to b and make fuel consumption especially critical when flying from either mainland to Cyprus and back.

Please forgive my confusion, but does that mean 60% full relative to the size of the Aircraft, groundobjects etc in which case it needs to be scaled up somehow? As and when I learn how such maps are made in the first place, I might consider building a new map of the entire area but for now it seems like the best available option as any Cyprus campaign would need Greece and Turkey as well as the island itself. There is probably a limit to the amount of terrain the game can handle as such I doubt the Germany map is one to one scale relative to the aircraft, I may be wrong but I just "feel" that aircraft take a lot less time traveling over sizeable areas such as Germany or SEA than they should do in reality.

Thanks Wrench, I was going to ditch the historical campaign idea anyway as what I had in mind was a purely "what if" modern scenario i.e. Greece and Turkey go to war now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUoRxdLx-gM...feature=related there are plenty more videos from Greek/Turkish training sessions on you tubes Assuming permission is not a problem, what's wrong with using the Mid East map which does have mainland Turkey and some of Greece? So we may need Master Terrain Gurus hmmm right im packing some Boost bars and 7up for the trek up to their mountain ashram, anyone wanting to join me along the way towards a modern Cypress campaign is more than welcome! :yes:

Duw we could have a cymanfa at this rate bois

I guess we add the rest of the terrain files from the sfp1 stock dessert or maybe from the mid east terrain, well trial and error will reveal all. Thanks very much for the link, i missed it as when I clicked on it before all that came up was the campaign loading screen jpg. By the way, wyt tin siarad Cymraeg?

I meant that USAFMTL is credited with making the Mid East terrain which contains Cyprus, not that he made a campaign, it was Galen Thurber that was thinking of making a campaign. There was discussion about getting the campaign to work and issues around the size of the zip file on Biohaz forums in 2003 but it seems to have vanished since then, does anyone else know if it still exists? And yes i guess i am just too lazy (busy) to learn how to build one myself lol so thank you to all the talented people who do make stuff for everyone to enjoy - Diolch yn fawr

Does anybody know what happened to the Cyprus campaign? I found about a dozen posts between here, avsim and simhq suggesting that USAFMTL made one at some point but the file seems to be missing.

Definition of Criticise <------ English language was invented by the English and we do spell it criticise. We dont "stave" our people either but am not sure this is the place to start a whose country is best/s**ttyest thread, in fact am pretty sure that kind of thing is best left entirely on other sites, just my 50 p

Aye, this issue knocked about a while ago and someone suggested to keep printscreens of the medal screen, procedure being hit printscreen when the medal screen is on, alt tab out to desktop then open ms paint or better and paste the image, save as a jpg or bmp and keep them in a folder somwhere. I can't get text for foreign medals in either wov or sf so it looks like it will be a tedious yet easy (hopes) ini tweaking session at some point

Lima 2 recieving, standing by

I can't get cable at all in Wolverhampton so it's a trip to the dvd store for me lol. Have you seen Toshio Maeda's Urotsukidoji? Never ever watch it in a dark room while so called friends drop acid into your drink without telling you! Ghost in the Shell is a classic sci fi anime too as is Vampire Wars, i wish we had ANoD.

Oh yeh the anime is way better than the movie version, whats ANoD? i googled it but can't make out if it's a distributor or a maybe internet tv host?

Im a casual anime fan, what i mean is if its on i while watch it but i dont really go out to find stuff because my best friend in school was a hard core fan and ive always wanted to keep from getting "hooked" like he was man he must have spent at leat £3000 between 1998 and 2002 on manga vhs imports and most of it is good but two series really stuck out in my memory, The Guyver series is an absolute classic, very good sci fi theme. My second favourite is Crying Freeman, although not sci fi it is a deep plot oriented series that i think id reconmend to anyone wanting to see more Anime. Have fun and take care not to spend all those hard earned dollars Manga Rules

The scene from Borat when he fights Azamat and chases him with the rubber fist, the whole sequence of that had me laughing so much in the cinema i cried tears of happiness. Watching it again on DVD it was still hilariously funny

You need to get the extract utility working because the cat file contains the hud data ini, you cannot change its contents until it has been extracted, try uninstaling the cat file extract utility, reinstal and try again.

Bugger off! I'm stuffed O go on! It's only waffa thin

Q: Whhhhhhat is the average velocity of a Swallow? A: Well that depends, is it an European Swallow or an African Swallow? Q: Huh? ohh bugger.. arghhh (Falls into a rather large hole)

First of all my condolences go out to the friends and family of the victims. The news coverage in the UK about this outrage typicaly involves a suggestion that America needs to change the gun laws and then they put this question via sat link to some "cold, dead hand" type who explodes into a tyrade of reasons why the UK is not a comparable model for US gun laws, non of this really concerns me half as much as what can be done as the situation stands. I am a security officer and a student at university in one of the worst areas of the UK for gun crime, a lot of my friends have guns and i have had to point a gun myself but luckily did not have to fire, but basically i can not take guns with me to work, or knives or even an asp baton, even a kubaton keyring is considered an ilegal weapon and would result in a higher sentence for me as i am supposed to know better. I was repeatedly struck in the face and chest with a hammer, stabbed with a screwdriver and kicked in a robbery but i fought back, another time i was off duty and stepped in to stop a guy from being robbed and had a knife pressed against my throat for my troubles that time i had to look the guy in the eyes and prepare for death but i still took a swing at his head and luckily for me his own friends turned on him and pulled him off leaving me with a superficial wound. The point I am making here is when you believe strongly in your right to live and your duty to protect others right to life, you will fight against an armed person, enough people will always overcome an armed man. I know young, college age Americans are brave because they fought allongside my grandparents in Europe and Asia, take Flight 93 as an example, here was a group of American civilians, men and women of all ages fighting off and winning armed terrorists trained under brutal conditions that most Special Forces would not condone on their training courses... im sorry if this is rambling a bit here but what im trying to say is why the hell do young people and staff let these crazies do this?? IMO the staff had an even greater duty to rush this guy and bear hug him, throw chairs at him, make a molotov cocktail in the science lab, use cutlery from the refectory anything... i am convinced that if more people in that college had acted like Liviu Librescu (link) , the 76 year old Holocaust survivor who through himself onto the shooter, then it would send a signal out to these crazies that they can't instill fear in a brave people. It is notable that Al Qaeda have not tried to take over a plane since flight 93, rather they now try to blow them up because they probably underestimated the readyness of ordinary people to fight back. We don't need guns to fight back, the most basic and potent weapon of all is the human spirit, Peace.

Thank you very very much indeed Fubar! That has certainley fixed the issues i had before and more over i now have flares and chaff that work, ECM that works, nav lights, sound for the RWR... none of these where working before, maybe you should put in the downloads section as a fix/update for anyone like myself who for whatever reason just wasn't getting the optimum out of the bat? I am very happy now just need to finish 12,000 words of a dissertation for tuesday then when i got free time im going to read through the other Foxbat data ini's see if i can figure out how this stuff works! You must be a genious to understand all that stuff,i wouldn't even attempt to bring a Garuda up to the same spec as quite likely there might be a square centimeter of diference here and there that makes a big diference in the physics of real life and therefore deserve the time and attention to figure out in game physics, as an admiring user of community mods i just hope one day i will understand enough to be able to help contribute something back, for now though thank you very much and happy hunting

I overwrote the engine section of the data ini with the info from the last post with little success, the performance is now worse than the default, flaps are needed just to stay level at 28,000 feet with full AB, curiously the thrust drops to 0 at regular intervals when climbing then returns to positive numbers so where do i need to change these lift and drag values? If it's not awfuly rude of me to ask, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the entire data ini?

Yes, accurate performance is what I would most value in any sim I don't want to feel like a little kid playing a top gun sim as fun as that kind of thing can be when your 8 im almost 25 years old and have always had an interest in Cold War era jets in particular, always wanted to be a pilot but things did not work out so basically this is the closest i will ever get to flying a real Mig-25 hence i would really really like to know how much i need to set the thrust level, naything else that needs changing etc? Thanks

Thanks for pointing me in the right place, i noticed this issue with the first release of the Foxbat and fireengineer sent me an alternative data ini for Mig-25PD which i thouroughly read through comparing with the orginal and that was where the diference was, in his ini the wet thrust value is set at 333000 and dry thrust is set at 220000. I forgot to change the data ini after installing the package, i can now go zooming past Mach 2.6 without blowing up which is good but without sounding overtly ungrateful "Yes, indeed. A slightly boosted MIG-25E went off the mach scale at 4.2. A zoom climb from sealevel at mach 3.2 I achieved an altitude of......... 255,524 feet! I kid you not. The simulation stops the grapice at 112,000 feet but you are still in the game so to speak." ^^kind of nulls the realism for me. It's amazing how thouroughly this community researches real life data for the mods so maybe its a flight engine issue? Am just guessing values for the ini but i havent the foggiest what am doing or what the numbers represent in real terms, if anyone has a definitive set of numbers that wont cause either blowing up at below maximum operational limits or turn it into some kind of ramjet it would be mucho appreciated :fan_1:

Erm excuse me to jump into this thread but im having problems getting any of the Foxbats past Mach 2.6, in fact i usually start to blow up anywhere past Mach 2.51, i put some screenshots including debug data here what should i have to do to get up there as fast as you Fubar?
