I provided you several links already, all of it peer-reviewed. If you want a case study of discredited pseudoscientific claims, just look at all of this CO2 hysteria in about 10 years. If you just finished a course (for college credit?!!) try applying those lessons to this subject from the other side of the on-going debate and see if Anthropogenic Global Warming holds up. In all too many cases, it does not because generally the self-selected studies and peer reviewers are too inbred for real review. Most of the time, the study will be on a single factor without historical correlation, taken over a limited time frame to provide a pre-ordained result, etc. Your "pre-eminent" Science magazine is wholly one-sided and does not cover any opposing views - hardly a scientific approach, rather a purely political agenda driven approach. But for the truly intellectually enabled researcher; http://climatesci.colorado.edu/ http://www.icecap.us/ http://friendsofscience.org/ http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10may_longrange.htm http://www.nrsp.com/people-timothy-ball.html http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/Index.jsp http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?Fus...=&Issue_id= http://www.sec.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/SC24/index.html sort of a level two of sites which reference scientific studies; http://www.climatechangefacts.info/ http://www.climatepolice.com/ http://home.earthlink.net/~ponderthemaunder/index.html http://www.agu.org/history/SV.shtml what is absolutely clear from all of this is that there IS NOT a "consensus" on the issue and the science IS NOT settled in favor of Anthropogenic Global Warming. It is, more accurately, Global Conning in support of a political agenda and to make big bucks through phony carbon trading companies. That is all it is. With the continuing decline of solar activity going into what may be a signficant solar minimum - these frauds will be thoroughly discredited within a decade. this link is a scientific rebuttal of Dr Hansen's (and Algore's) testimony to Congress; http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2Scien...onyCritique.pdf and - if you don't like "oil company financed" studies then you shouldn't be listening to Al Gore either; http://www.generationim.com/media/pdf-gene...se-08-11-04.pdf

its also very evident that the editor is an Anthropogenic Global Warming Advocate of the First Order. So to emphasize my point, it is just one source and a biased one at that. I have pointed out several links to other sources. What is absolutely clear from those other links is that there is a very definite scientific DEBATE on the issue. The science is not settled, no where even close. and by the by, the global temperatures as measured by NOAA satellites indicate that no net warming since 1998 has occured and we have already leveled off in the temperature. And how many devastating hurricanes have hit the US half way through this hurricane season? none..... here's another link http://www.cgfi.org/materials/articles/2005/may_19b_05.htm and a graph of global temperature over time. Of note - the graph shows ups and downs inconsistent with CO2 forced warming and distinct, recent decline. hmmm.....................

and mobile SCUD launchers with fuel convoys to hunt down? (during the fight we would pass SCUD launch locations to the SCUD Hunters (A-6E and F-15E, not to mention Special Ops dudes). Post war analysis determined we never caught any. :( )

Nature is just one source (which currently has an article questioning the accuracy of the models used by the IPCC - not exactly proving your case!). Earlier, I posted close to a half dozen links - none of which are funded by oil companies (a standard, phony canard) that provide a lot of ACTUAL SCIENCE on climate change and history. Just look at the climate history including the Medieval Warm Period and the Roman Warm Period. Its not Global Warming - its Global Conning.

actually, I've been able to use the DS terrain just fine in WOE.

MF is working on some.

yea, kind of a "pick your poison" Hobson's choice

mankind's contribution is about point one percent.

"and the nay sayers aren't producing cogent arguments in return" saying that doesn't make it so. I provided another link to a site to take this very political argument to. As I said up there, I am sure Nightwatch over there will be glad to kick your $#$#!@% and provide you with some ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC refererences to provide you with the other side of that debate. see ya there.

well, USAFMTL kinda, sorta opened the can of worms by asking what everyone was doing about a blatantly political subject. But my last post on that thread provided an alternate site to take it to. Hopefully that falls within the intent and guidance of this board.

I didn't test the CF188 skin, but I did install the Marine skin from the released F-18A into the wip F-18D and finished a modified Libya campaign last night. Worked fine.

have you ever read a history of climate change? The climate is always changing. the question is why? To be stampeded into a short-sighted political agenda that is all about centralizing power and economic planning into the hands of a self-selected few, not to mention enriching the instigators through phony carbon trading schemes, just because of NATURAL climate change would be the height of idiocy. climate change is a function of a lot of natural factors, the primary one being the solar output. Tracking solar cycles and sunspots resultes in a .97 correlation with recorded climate changes in the past. That continues right through today. The solar cycle has already reversed and the climate will be cooling sharply over the next two decades. Not because of any phony "tipping points" but because the sun is running a little cooler. Conservation is a good thing. Fighting pollution is a good thing. Falling for a phony political agenda a Global Conning is a bad thing. Enough of this - back to target lock...... rather than hijack this forum for a blatantly political agenda (which is all Global Conning, er, Warming, is all about) go to; http://p216.ezboard.com/fwarships1discussionboardsfrm18 where I am reasonably confident that Nightwatch will be glad to kick your $#@!@%#$%^%!!

that sounds very interesting. Is that an addition to the targets.ini file in the terrain folder?

Congratulations!! Great looking baby. See you when she sleeps through the night (sometime in '08!!)

i was about to upgrade to an ATI card. do those crash the cockpits? over at thirdwire it seemed to be an issue only with the early versions of the cards.

sorry to hear that. Maybe you could delete your SAMS so that you could fly just against AAA. just a thought.

Oh no, not here too!!!!!!!!!!(hangs head in utter disbelief.......)Get a grip guys - man-made global warming and "carbon footprint" is a complete fraud being pushed to support a political agenda. Its a Global Conning, not a Global Warming.Don't fall for this nonsense. having said that - conservation is a good thing. Anything to save resources, cut your bills, eliminate pollution is all good. But don't fall for the Global Warming is a Disaster nonsense!!I know this isn't supposed to be political, but you all brought it up!for some REAL scientific references,http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2ScienceB2C/Index.jsphttp://climatesci.colorado.edu/http://friendsofscience.org/http://www.icecap.us/and follow some of the links within. one of my favorite links is -http://www.coloradocatholicherald.com/display.php?xrc=460

didn't know that worked. Have to try it out.

I don't know. I can try one on for size and get back to you.

and in real life, the missile doesn't link back that it has gone terminal active (at least up through the current block). So the firing unit cannot ever be sure that they cannot stop tracking the target until it gets kinda fiery out on the horizon.......

I've got a C model block 36 (with the new engines installed in 91) but have held off uploading it at the request of some of the MF guys who have been working on a C and a D (both of which look really great!) I haven't seen any new movement on that front for awhile. I've been using my C and the MF WIP D in a Libya campaign modded to the 92 time frame. Works great. I got a sheet of info from my VFA son on the changes to the F18 blocks. They generally referred to the F18s as blocks rather than A or C models because, as noted above, the real differences were all in the installed equipment and new weapons and avionics upgrades. The E and F, of course, are a different issue.

MF is the Mirage Factory, they will release their stuff when they feel it is ready.

oops. I haven't released that yet. there is on-going work at the MF on some newer F-18C, D and E/F models and I didn't put my little mod of the C out at their request because of that on-going work. I also didn't get permission from some of the skin developers to use their skins for the C. so sorry, no F-18C.....

are you going to have the Rahbta Aspiran Factory as a principle target?
