We should use smiley more often for bumpung

They're Vista/Win7 only

TK said that those few MLD files are just some junk that got into the installer. http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=43402#p43402

Uh.. are you sure there is an MLD in standalone Israel at all? They were never exported.

No peace treaties in TW world Got jumped by those and shot down by MiG-17 on my F-16

But they have 3 gear legs to support them! You HAVE been ripped off! I see these Hinds are not shielded against IR missiles (exhausts are open). Stingers are not expected?

Found out that a huge book store in the city can order books through Amazon, which would be rather difficult for me to do personally - shipping here is awful. A while ago I've put together a list of stuff on Nam I might consider buying. Since it turns out quite expensive I thought of asking for your opinions about the order in which I should gradually get the books. Or forget about them The general list with likns to Amazon is roughly this lot Thud RidgeX Got it! 100 Missions NorthX Rupert Red Two When Thunder RolledX Clashes: Air Combat over North Vietnam, 1965-1972 First In, Last Out: Stories by The Wild Weasels Palace Cobra: A Fighter Pilot in the Vietnam Air WarX Over the Beach: The Air War in Vietnam Rampant Raider: An A-4 Skyhawk Pilot in Vietnam Launch The Intruders: A Naval Attack Squadron In The Vietnam War, 1972 On Yankee Station: The Naval Air War over Vietnam My idea for the first batch was 1. Thund Ridge 2. When Thunder Rolled 3. Palace Cobra 4... maybe.. not decided yet.. definintely one of the first-person accounts. Perhaps Rampant Raider to take a break from big birds So.. any suggestions? Something really cool I missed?

No idea... early Kfir C1 cockpit has a filler panel in place of RWR screen so it might never've gotten one. Best way to find out - ask TK, at least about Nesher.

Hind can serve as troop carrier too.

Next - add SA-6 killing bands to Kfir (77) RWR.

Sounds like awesone read. Pity the book isn't in Amazon own stock, so I cant order it the same way.

Early Kfir has no RWR too. And in A-4H (73) RWR is bugged/broken.

So after just 2-month wait I've got the books. By a strange coincidence I dropped in at the store to say "Hi, girls, how are you and where the hell is my pre-paid order?", and was told that they'd call me back. Hardly have I passed the former KGB building next door to the store, when they (well, different department) did call me back and said the order had just arrived and asked when I would be able to pick it up.

Nah, the wreck thing is definitely new In SF2E an F-15 crashed into terrain could leave its wreck hovering at ~5m AGL. Now I see a Mirage smashed against a mountain and it actually is on the slope. Must be the reason for short-range z-buffer fighting between wreck and airfield concrete.

Things I don't remember seeing before Plane wreck seems to actually lie on the terrain instead of being placed at some point horizontally. Wingmen landing behind you without being yelled "return to base" or running out of fuel. I got used to seeing them all fly by and in circles after I land. Today I had 3 other Kfirs (rejoined after strike) with me as I went through all final waypoints and landed. Then remembered to tell them and Two RTB. F6-ed to Two and saw that he was on final approach with gear down, but after hearing RTB, retracted gear and went for a re-run. I know somebody'll tell me it's been there all along, but

2.36. Screwed up big time on one "Right angle" and one "Bisection"...

CCIP went glitchy over hilly terrain, so both my wingie and I missed happily following its directions. Had to knock out the Comm Building with 2 highly accurate dumb IR AAM shots.

You wasted a KAB on a Jeep???

K... Only few months are left till the new fighter's appearance on public so Popular Mechanics decided to sum up everything "known" about it aleardy and speculate about its possible looks. First page covers how the plane was designed, and the rivalry between MiG and Su ending with Sukhoi's victory, increase of minimal plane weight to 35 tons, and dropping the requirement of V/STOL. Then the India got involved and said that they like MiG and won't fund Sukhoi's design. This was followed by yet another feature cut, dropping max speed requirement by M0.15. The planned enigne is the further development of the Su-27 engine. Intermediate variant is currently installed in Su-35, has single plane thrust vectoring, burner thrust of 14000-14500 kgs. Final stage of engine development, which will be put of PAK-FA will have 15300-15500kgs of thrust, flat exhaust and reversible thrust. Appearance was leaked first by Indian media, then by Sukhoi's website, but the pic was quickly pulled down. Estimaded dimensions are 19m lenght, 14m span, 4.5m parked height and weight of 32 tons. Wing sweep 53°. Ahem... then they go on to estimate that the plane's capalities are gonna be 10-15% better than those of F-22, because "F-22 is 18 years old already". Radar is gonna be some phased array monster with fifteen hundred modules, with total power of 18kW. Range of AWACS-sized target detection is supposed to be 400km. The thingie should be able to track 60 contacts and simultaneously attack 16. Possibly there will be a rear-facing radar, some aerials on wings and a 360° optical tracking suite. Supposedly T-50 has 2 bays for large missiles up to 700kg, and 2 bays for short range missiles. Total load might be up to 12 missiles. The new missile for the plane is a further development of R-33 (think Phoenix) and is believed to be able to hit high-RCS target at 400km Then they have R-77 developments for 250km range and 110-140km, with home-on-jam capability. For short range they plan on something hyper-maneuvarable with IR image recognition capable of hitting incoming missiles. 2 ton ordnance weight for stealth flight, 6 tons non-stealth. GSh-30 cannon for short range. Bearing in mind Raptor order drop, the author goes on to estimate that we'll receive about 240 planes (50% of officially planned order). And calls F-35 no match for T-50. That's the gist of it. No, I don't have FM or manual for it My predicition: the generation after this will have a ****load of AI-launched counter-missiles. the generation after this will be either nuke-only or go for AI-conrolled gun combat. Then anime will be consideded documentary.

Isn't this sonic boom caused by the evaporation of water from the aiframe? Ah... that's what it's called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl%E2%80%93Glauert_singularity

When did he say that? The only thing better that the transsonic wave is the supersonic wave. Test flights on Tu-22 revealed that if it flies supersonic below 4000m the brickwork on the ground cracks.

S**t!

Damn... The ultimate RL issue...

Тэкс.. 1-е правило установки патчей: ставить на игру без модов. После этого добавлять моды, причем предпочтительнее не заменять существующие файлы игры, а открывать их и вносить изменения и добавления из мода. Это затем, что, если у мода для более старой версии в ини нет какого-то параметра, новая версия движка, не увидев нужных данных, может просто взять цифру наугад. Или проглючить. А патч, поставленный поверх мода, затирает файлы мода если они замещают оригинальные.
