Exocet!!!??!! interestering!

what about the surprise twist at the ending?? ... bet you didnt see THAT coming!!! (no, it WASN'T the butler!!) wrench kevin stein

look up Ben Bova's old scifi book "The Weathermakers" I'd reccomend dumping liquid nitrogen in the region of the funnel; after all, tornados and hurricanes are heat engines; remove the heat, and the engine stalls wrench kevin stein

Boston Whalers might beg to differ...up to a point, I"m sure wrench kevin stein

the old Bunypak should have it. it'll need a quick run-through the 08 level WepEditor....and maybe folderization, but it should be there. if you can't find it, let me know. Hopefully, i've still got it around someplace! wrench kevin stein

Looking Good!! some thoughts... obviously, the underwing radiators/oil cooler needs changing/swaping out/whatever what about using a 'fake pilot method' of adding the smaller underwing cooler, and 3-port exhaust stacks? Using the remove component trick -if the right side rad mesh can be located- and a 3D guy can make the correct exhaust stack as a matched pair left/right, it's just a matter of dailing in the correct positions. Might be somewhat easier than building totaly new models. Same could be done for the, say, Mk.V Trops -- just need the dust filter as the fake pilot's seat....hmmmmmmm (would 2 different filter housing be wanted, or would just the 'standard' type be used?) Wonder if the SAM Modelers Guide on the Merlin Spits has the size measurments? Have to check the views in there. (if anyone needs said book, I have it on PDF) wrench kevin stein

File Name: IL-28 Beagle, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba) File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 28 April 2011 File Category: Other IL-28 Beagle, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba) (semi-fictional) = For SF2, Any and All, Merged or Not, With Access to the IL-28 = This skin pak creates Cuban Air Force (FAR) IL-28s, had they been assembled and put into service during The Crisis of Oct/Nov 1962. (as everyone knows, of course, they weren't) A new, edited Userlist.ini is included adding Cuba, with a VERY short operational life span (2 years). No other changes have been effected. All markings, etc, are stock; with the exception of the tail's skin bmp -it was partly retemplated to redraw panel and rivet lines to add the FAR flash. An 'optional' folder includes a set of inis and will make the IL-28 player-flyable (if you've not done so already), using all stock in-game items (ie: F-4B pit, due to it's twin-engine annunciators, and GM radar. Probably not perfect, but it works! <grin>). The cockpit ini has had all the readings/measurments converted to metric standard (Kilometers per hour, Meters-per-second, etc). An audio-only RWR is included (don't know IF they actualy had one...but it'll help out somewhat). Small data ini tweeks add landing lights and some AI data. A new Hangar screen is included for those so inclined to use it. As always, fairly easy to follow, somewhat detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Duck and Cover!

File Name: A-1H Skyraider, VA-65 Tigers Skin Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 27 April 2011 File Category: A-1 A-1H Skyraider VA-65 Tigers Skin Pak -- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered), and/or SF2V -- (it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the stock A-1H) This skin/decal represents VA-65 Tigers as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Mediterranean Cruise and "Caribbean Cruise" of Oct/Nov 62 as part of CvG-6. All new decals have been created for the various markings and such. (well, not ALL -- some are reused from my other Skyraider skin paks, but you get the idea). For use with or without my A-1H Skyraider Upgrade Pak. (available in the CombatAce SF2/Skins/Downloads section) As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop). Happy Landings!

Turner Classic Movies was doing a 'group' of Ray Milland films, and while channel surfing, popped into the RAF movie 'High Flight'. GREAT scenes (what little I saw) of Hunters. I'd never even heard of this film!! Here's the Wiki entry on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Flight_(film) and IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049313/ Not a lot of info. Anyone else heard of, or seen it? wrench kevin stein

File Name: A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 "Spirits" File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 27 April 2011 File Category: A-4 A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 Sprits Skin Pak -- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4C Accessable -- This skin/decal represents VA-76 Spirits as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Med Cruise and during the Cuban Missile Crisis quarantine as part of CVG-6. All new decals (plus one "borrowed" stock one and editated to suit) have been created for the various markings and such. Other mods include tweeked data and loadout inis. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE loadout to use a TER with 2 Mk82s each (I Like a little more striking power); if you don't want to carry 4 Mk 82 bombs, just delete the loadout ini, and it'll revert back to stock. Or, you can re-edit, remove the RackType reference, and replace with 2 1000 pound Mk.83s. Your choice!. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light. As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop). Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file

told you the use of stock destroyed models would come in handy!! in a more modern sense, you can really get into details (although I LIKE the use of the wagon and wham-bulance). Below are from an unfinished terrain wrench kevin stein
