Crusader

wagsled, thanks for your reply! those articles contain lots of info, yep, but they cant replace info provided by guys like you, always interesting to read "first-hand" accounts. Overall, it sounds like VTAS was stopped by technical problems and than slipped " out of sight", so that the Soviets could grab a nice advantage some years later in the 80's when electronics became better. F-4N/S and F-14A with ( working) VTAS and AIM-9L in say 1977+ ... that would have been "interesting". This might would have led to AIM-9L/M versions with greater off-boresight performance, countering the Archer. Well , it turned out to be going somewhat different... Crusader.

MIIIC vs M5D

antenne und mast kannste verstecken, 'nen laengeren auspuff musste als extra lod bauen und dann als "pilot" in die kiste stecken... das verstecken geht so... : 1. füge einen neuen Component zur AircraftData sektion hinzu [AircraftData] ... Component[0xx]=Hide01 2. dann eine neue sektion ( ist an keinen festen platz in der ini gebunden) zum eigentlichen verstecken von dem teil das du weghaben willst... [Hide01] ParentComponentName= name vom mesh wo das zu versteckende teil dranhaengt ( kannste auch einfach leerlassen.. iirc) ModelNodeName=nix genau das.. DestroyedNodeName=dingensMESHname hier kommt der name vom zu versteckenden teil rein DetachWhenDestroyed=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE das wars

several of Sundowners early skins are still at avsim.com, Egypt F-4E, HAF Aegean Blue F-4E, and others search the SFP1 section for "F-4E" and you'll see.

thats easy.. they simply press "K" .... 2 months.. long time to figure that out...

happy Zurday!!!1

java guncam http://www.errthum.com/troy/warbirds/guncam/ I use it since years for SFP1 ect... its a little work intensive to make complete clips, since the guncam prog output is just a whole bunch of jpg's, which have to be run through a gif animation tool or a jpg-to-avi prog .

.. and the MiG wingman doesnt escape either...

Bekaa Valley, 1982....

Heer ... lololol....

I've found another version which works too : could be from column5's advanced FM beta.... which I havent found as a complete file... yet...

du kannst die zwei streben " verstecken", hast dann aber loecher in der frontscheibe, da die canopy tga die flaeche der streben net abdeckt... ist aber eventuell mit einer extra tga ( decal) zu beheben.... edit... ah nee.. wenn die streben versteckt sind kannste kein decal verwenden... denn dann haste kein mesh wo du das decal draufmachen kannst..

nice "holiday ressort" Marcelo :ph34r:

fantastic :)

Mirage Factory didnt loose something. But all that stuff is just a hobby, and secondary to RL. So TIME is a factor. The Su-24M ( original model by Tomcat1974 ) is not dead nor lost nor anything else, its just another plane on the workbench. And its not that TMF delays projects intentionally, its simply the fact that there are more important things out there than modding a game.

could be, not sure. I dont have it anymore in original form, only modified versions in some Fitters which are on a disconnected HDD now.

the advanced beta FM was once available at c5 forum, but isnt anymore.

have to find my sukhoi's, they are al fitted with the advanced beta FM by c5 here is the fix for the Su-17 data ini anyway : [LeftOuterWing] ParentComponentName=LeftWing ... MinExtentPosition=-2.75,-8.61, 0.45 MaxExtentPosition=-4,59,-3.67, 0.63 <------ typo here, comma instead of a dot ... SystemName[004]=LeftSlat [RightOuterWing] ParentComponentName=RightWing ... MinExtentPosition= 2.75,-8.61, 0.45 MaxExtentPosition= 4,59,-3.67, 0.63 <------ typo here, comma instead of a dot ... SystemName[004]=RightSlat

sure, but I need a original faulty data ini ... but.. that reminds me of a advanced FM done by c5 which had that fixed already....

its a typo ( comma instead of dot ) in one of the wing min/max position lines

but you must wait :D

Ist 'ne Antenne von der Funkkompassanlage

there are a couple of "common" files in the objectdata.cat, like canopy and hud tga's.. they are near the top of the .cat list in the extraction tool, open it, then scroll down about a half window.. those tga's are below the crater lods
