cool skin.. small thing : the model has the RWR antennas aft of the elevators (and possible behind the radome too - hard to see) Only few users had their 5F configured with them, and usually late in service . If you intend to make a "typical" 1980's 5F, its probably a better fit without the antennas

Nice scheme!

.. and some freeks say that modern fighter combat is all about punching buttons .. no flying skillz required...... yea...

avionics70 radars... SF2 and SF2V dont have stock planes which use avionics70 FCR's ;) avionics60 kites are working OK

thats just another avionics70 bug... some functions related to it arent working either: F8 view to watch locked target CTRL+R to identify locked target wingman attack command and something else... Known bug now.. it shall be fixed

bremsleitungen.. wer braucht den sowas... dann schon besser ein verstärktes fahrwerk... vor allem wichgtig für die typen in MeS .. so wie die die kisten nach 'nem anti-manpads anflug auf die piste klatschen .. hehehehe

whats the CG position in the Jag dat aini ? If it is different than 0,0,0 , set it to that value

in the data ini, do you have this entry? [MissionData] ... CarrierBased=TRUE

East Germany didnt have 29's until March 1988 ... guess you came up against a special test unit hehe

looks like serious low level flathatting fun

hehe.. such encounters are the fun stuff ... it doesnt get boring you can - make them run out of Alamo's - then try to catch them somehow from below/behind ... much fun 'cause they still have 4 Archers each - hide yourself and hope they dont see you - lure them into own SAM engagement zones if possible - < next guy insert other cool ideas here >

aircraftobject ini is not extracted by default, only used if somehting is modded in it (like AI characteristics). problem is that this ini also contains entries for the keyboard controls, and those were changed over the time ( new stuff added) I'd say temporarly remove the aircraftobject ini and see if that is a solution, if not, delete ALL your Control profiles from the controls folder ( a new Default.ini will be created upon game start ) and then remap your controls from scratch Also notice that Control ini's were also changed over time ( new entries), so old pre october 2008 patch profiles are incompatible withthe latest patch, iirc.

no time but we have a WiP C kite ... since 2 years or so :D I lost my WiP files a couple times Thats how the radar looks (or looked - I think I have a backup somewhere)

quick guide... the default stuff should be clear.. guncross, left airspeed scale ( with current G readout on top), right altitude scale the left datablock shows, top to bottom : - master arm status - aircraft Mach - max G readout - weapon mode: LCOS,MSLS, STRF, CCIP etc the right datablock, top to bottom : - target range in NM ( xxx if no radar lock) - target closure speed in knots (xxxx if no radar lock ) - range to waypoint and waypoint # (014006 = 14 nm to wp 6) - radar altitude in feet thats what you see in the A2A mode screenie ... in MSLS ( missiles, short range) mode, you get a seeker FOV circle... in NAV mode, the 2nd line of the right datablock shows 00: 00 , thats a fixed readout.. the real jet has time to go to next waypoint displayed.

Which TMF Vipers are you flying ? The TMF Vipers included with DS and NF4 mods have completly overhauled HUDs and avionics ...

( hey - I need a skull with shades! )

still white box fo rme..I tried to embed a vid from utub some weeks ago ( just like you described) and it didnt work either.. white box was the result perhaps something faulty on my crate.. ? anyone else has the white box ?

its down, main TW site too.. probably simply some tech FAIL somewhere along the line... or TK making some nifty upgrade

New WH40k scheme to paint for Dave hehe I just wait for a Hell0 Kitty pilot helm repaint .... thats something the TW game series still lacks...

I only see a big white box... btw.. you still run that modmafia blog ? ... modmafia shirts for modders!!!! LOL
