Stolen From Facebook: They Walk Among Us! I was at the checkout at Walmart, minding my own business, when the cashier rang up my total: $46.64. I handed her a crisp $50 bill. She looked me dead in the eye, gave me back $46.64, and continued scanning items like a professional. Me: "Uh… I think there’s a mistake." Her: huffing dramatically "Sir, I am educated. I know what I’m doing." She pushed the money back at me like I was trying to scam her. So, I did what any reasonable person would do—I gave it back. She, once again, pushed it right back at me with extra attitude. I shrugged, picked up my bags, and walked out with $46.64 in my pocket. They Walk Among Us… I walked into Starbucks with a "Buy-One-Get-One-Free" coupon for a Grande Latte. The barista studied it like it was the Declaration of Independence, then turned to a chalkboard that read "Buy One, Get One Free." Her eyes lit up. "Oh! So that means… they’re both free!" She happily handed me two free lattes. I didn't argue. I just walked out, sipping my victory. They Walk Among Us… One day, I was strolling along the beach with some friends when one of them gasped dramatically, pointed ahead, and yelled: "Look! A dead bird!" Another friend immediately looked up at the sky and asked, "Where?" I just… I had no words. They Walk Among Us… My brother was house hunting and asked the real estate agent which direction was north. He explained that he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning. The agent furrowed her brow. "Wait… does the sun rise in the north?" My brother, thinking she was joking, laughed. She was not joking. He gently explained that the sun rises in the east… and, you know, has been doing that for quite a while now. She shook her head and said, "Oh, I don’t keep up with all that stuff." I... I had to walk away. They Walk Among Us… Back when I worked in a 24/7 call center, a guy called and asked: "What hours are you open?" Me: "Sir, we’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." Him: "Okay, but is that Eastern or Pacific time?" I stared at my screen for a solid 10 seconds before replying: "Uh… Pacific." He thanked me and hung up, probably feeling proud of himself. They Walk Among Us… My sister has one of those emergency seat belt cutters in her car—designed to save her life if she ever gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk. They Walk Among Us… My friends and I went to buy beer for a party. The store had a 10% discount on cases. Since we were professionals, we grabbed two cases. The cashier did some quick mental math. "Oh, two cases? That’s 10% + 10%… so you get 20% off!" We all nodded and quietly accepted our new financial advisor. They Walk Among Us… At the airport, I couldn’t find my luggage, so I went to the lost baggage counter. Me: "My bags never showed up." The lady smiled reassuringly. "Don’t worry, sir! I’m a trained professional. Now… has your plane landed yet?" I blinked. Me: "Nope, we’re still circling the airport. The pilot told us we’re third in line to land." Her: "Oh! Okay, well, come back after you land." …Sure thing, genius. They Walk Among Us… While working at a pizza place, I watched a man order a small pizza to-go. Cook: "Would you like that cut into four or six slices?" The man thought long and hard before replying: "Better make it four. I don’t think I’m hungry enough to eat six." Bless their hearts. They Walk Among Us…

My opinion: as someone who was to join the project, way back when, and declined ... I think these new guys are starting to get it right. Good on you all!!

Oh, I hope not!!!! It's too fun!!

Nice to see Fond de Lac listed. I dated a gal from there, a million years ago. Typical Mid-Western, corn-fed woman. She had a great couple of ... assets.

is that James Garner and Donald Pleasence???? I'll leave now .... (couldn't resist!!)

I love this shit ... people that have been signed in here for years (poster above this as an example -since 2015), just now making their first post to whine. AND simply not getting it. Doing as some of you wish "by merit", goes right back to the multiple fake users we've been fighting for the last 20 years. Believe me, I get it. I'm on a fixed income, with almost nothing left at the end of each month. So spending coin I don't have can be an issue. (and yet, I still find something to give here to CA). So, this is what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you.

Ok folks ... screenshots for WW2 mods lets keep it like the other Screenie Thread .. clean with images only. All other comments, jokes, and unwanted posts WILL be deleted --- to start off, trying to replicate a painting hanging on the wall my living room

stupid thing didn't format right, but you get the idea! Like OldWilley said, upping the StructrualFactor a bit don't hurt either.

Another that I've been using is "armor as structure" added to each component section in the data ini, not just specific areas (engine, cockpit, fuel tanks, etc) Something like this:

don't forget to add the Snap-On tool factory if you add Kenosha. With all the money I spent with them in my career, they've probably built a whole annex named after me!!!!

missed this ... I remember you! welcome back!! Glad you got that issues resolved1!

believe it or not, me neither!!!!

Great work, as always man!!!!

The following is MY opinion ONLY, and does NOT represent the owners of Combat Ace too many whiney cunts around all of a sudden -- freeloaders all. "Oh no, I can't download for free anymore! I can't create multiple false logins to break the limit of the downloads." Not one of you all have done ANYTHING for this site, but take take take. (exception, OldWilley DID assist with some translations for Russian cockpits). How many of you monkeys have actually have even posted on the Forums? How many have even bothered to say 'thank you' or 'good work' or even "there's an error here, what can be done to fix it?" You piss and moan like little bitches that had their favorite sweets taken away. There are those of us that have contributed to this sire, both monetary and add-ons for various games (not the the SF series, that is the center of the contrevorsy) since the early 2000s. You pay for fuel for you vehicles, insurance, rent, food, clothes, and maybe even "luxury" items -- smokes, resturant dining. So, fine. You can't (or won't) send a few coins to support the site. Ok, then, no problem. You've all always been free to stay or leave -- it's a (semi) free world. Choose to go? Bye! Have a nice life. Choose to stay? Start thinking about what you can to do help support CA. As to this statement: I don't the idea, but again, just my opinion. We can't stop it, of course. It's the uploader's choice. I'd suggest putting the link elsewhere, rather than in the announcement thread.

I don't see a video card listed (or my eyes are worse than normal!!) Is this a laptop with a on-board vid card??

or lack of texture memory. Post system specs. It's diffucult to diagnose without all the data

Same here last night ... just kept waiting for it load. Seems ok now also, been having trouble posting --- it just "spins", and never refreshes (although this might be at my end, due to wifi issues as my network card died last year, and I'm using a usb plug-in wifi antenna). hit F6 to reload, and it works note to all -- I'm going to move this thread to the Site Support Forum

that isn't the original numbers I have --- which sections??? Do you remember the original date of the data ini?? Mine is 10/5/2012 Last night I ran some tests, full fuel, both tip tanks and 2 500 pounders ... see the image below. Nothing changed in the data ini can you post the full ini (zip it up and attach it here) eedit --- somehow, the image didn't post

that isn't the original numbers I have --- which sections??? Do you remember the original date of the data ini?? Mine is 10/5/2012 When you ran your original tests, did you have HUD Debug on??? Were you using IAS or TAS??? Last night I ran some tests, full fuel, both tip tanks and 2 500 pounders ... see the image below. Nothing changed in the data ini can you post the full ini (zip it up and attach it here)

it almost looks like the one TMF used for the Jaguar ... maybe that can be repurposed??

I moved this back to the SF2 forums; don't know if it was a mistake posted in the SF1 forums. But, well, it's here now!!

No, you don't want to do that. The 3rdWire Terrain Editor is for beyond Expert Level users. It's NOT user friendly at all!! And actually, it in how the terrain's _water bmp is read by the engine, and if said water bmp is formated correctly with the proper CV stations (in the right colors*), and the terrain has the proper statements for CV usage. Also, making sure you're using said terrains in the SF2NA environmet. Even with the game's full merging, NA seems to have the best coding for CVs *someing about "how many bits' the bmp is saved as

Nice job there Orsin. Way to go! You want a shovel to complete burying it? Maybe some concrete for the tomb??
