Spillone104

Polish-ed MiG And some 104 Charlie action in S.E.A. P.S. Some really nice screens here guys!

Buon Natale a tutti voi!

Not only the taller tail but completely different engine and nacelles and the frequent use of external tanks.

Scored 9 MiGs in less than 2 seconds.

Called for CAS in a freezing morning.

Devo esser sincero, non posso esser d' aiuto nel compilare, disegnare o estrapolare un terreno visto che non mi ci sono mai cimentato prima. Posso contribuire per quel che posso in alcune cose ma i terreni son sempre stati per me una (scusate il gioco di parole) "Terra inesplorata ed oscura". Apprezzo lo sforzo di Mau, ma è meglio chiedere aiuto a chi queste cose le ha già fatte e sappia bene dove e come metter le mani. @Paolo: ai suoni ci sto lavorando ma aver visto che in SF2 i suoni dei jet sono eseguiti ad una velocità che pare almeno 1/3 di quella reale in idle mi ha lasciato un pò male. Son tentato di vedere se cambiando la .dll giusta riesco almeno a ripristinare la "sinfonia".

Seems more an axis issue. RotationAxis= See what it have and change with Z-AXIS, X-AXIS or Y-AXIS. That should do the job.

View File Lockheed NF-104A for SFP1 Lockheed NF-104A for SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI Oct.08 standard In 1963, three ex-USAF F-104As (56-756, -760, and -762) were taken out of storage at Davis Monthan AFB and modified as NF-104A aerospace training aircraft. All of the military equipment was removed and the original F-104A vertical fin was replaced by the larger fin that was used on the F-104G. The wingspan was increased by four feet (to 25.94 feet) and a set of hydrogen peroxide control thrusters were mounted at the nose, tail, and wingtips. A 6000 pound thrust Rocketdyne LR121/AR-2-NA-1 auxiliary rocket engine was mounted on the tail above the jet exhaust pipe. This rocket engine could be throttled from 3000 to 6000 pounds of thrust, and the burn time was about 105 seconds. The first NF-104A was delivered on October 1, 1963, with the other two following a month later. They were operated by the Aerospace Research Pilot School at Edwards AFB, which was commanded at that time by Colonel Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager. On December 6, 1963, the first NF-104A set an unofficial world altitude record of 118,860 feet for aircraft taking off under their own power. The official record at that time was 113,829 feet, set by the Mikoyan/Gurevich Ye-66A, an experimental version of the MiG-21 Fishbed. Later, the same NF-104A flown by Major R. W. Smith reached an altitude of 120,800 feet. On December 10, 1963, the second NF-104A (56-762), with Chuck Yeager at the controls, went out of control at an altitude of 104,000 feet and fell in a flat spin to 11,000 feet. Yeager managed to eject successfully at that altitude, although he was badly burned on his face by the rocket motor of his ejector seat. The aircraft was destroyed in the ensuing crash. An investigation later showed that the cause of the crash was a spin that resulted from excessive angle of attack and lack of aircraft response. The excessive angle of attack was not caused by pilot input but by a gyroscopic condition set up by the J79 engine spooling after shut down for the rocket-powered zoom climb phase. So it wasn't Chuck's fault. In June of 1971, the third NF-104A, with Capt. Howard C. Thompson at the controls, suffered an inflight explosion of its rocket motor. Although Thompson was able to land safely, the aircraft's rocket motor and half its rudder were blown away. Since the program was about to end in any case, this aircraft was retired. The number one NF-104A is currently on display on top of a pylon in front of the USAF Test Pilot School. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT!!!

Nice that at least this bug will be fixed. Anyway, did anyone noticed that now the AI aircraft just disappear at waypoint 8 instead of landing? In both campaigns and single mission. Or how the engine sound is played at less than half the normal speed. Noticed at first sight after passing from SFP1 oct.08 to SF2 with full titles and expansions. Alex

Purtroppo Paolo non ho nulla al rigurardo ma se la mia memoria non mi inganna ricordo che ci fu una discussione su questo forum sull' acquisto di libri e il titolo (I caccia italiani della serie 80) me lo ricordo. Non so se da Dysko o da TheTestPilot.

Uhhh..... Drones...Interesting. Ok, mine is not US but is a true target drone. Still a WIP.

Il richiamo del Kappone.. AHAHAHAHAHAH Si beh... non proprio il suo ma si, ho qualcosa da scegliere sui J-47 anche se vengono da altri Sabre non "canini". Dammi ancora qualche giorno, che passare di botto sul nuovo portatile da una situazione SFP1 oct.08 all' ultimo stadio completo di SF2 è una bella fatica.

Su quale pianeta stavi volando o hai raggiunto??? Quella luna ha un colore verdognolo.

??? Per caso manca il sibilo del J-33 per le Stelle Filanti (Shooting Stars)?

You can find the PFU with Alkali here: http://combatace.com/files/file/11009-mig-17pfpfu-pack/

Nice job Paolo! I really like the sharkmouth in particular ;-)

Congratulations for this nice little trainer!!! Really nice!!! BTW.... the sound you used is from here: http://combatace.com...iet-jet-sounds/ Alex

Astronaut training in the early days.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JhuOicPFZY Anyway the subject is about doing an italian, yugoslavian, greek... (southern europe) terrain.

Huum.... so did this have something to do with the TGA channels? Maybe opening the stock Mustang TGAs and see if something is different maybe will help us to find the solution. Or, as Stary wrote maybe seen where to apply the new shader to affect transparent meshes. Just my 2 cents as I still don't have the expansion but planning to upgrade soon. Alex

Eh, purtroppo succede abbastanza spesso di finire in vite piatta all' approssimarsi dell' apogeo. Poi per carità a quote più basse si riesce a recuperare l' aereo.
