I hear there's a new mission builder available from MS http://www.microsoftgameinsider.com/CFSIns...Builder_1_0.htm

I saw that same B2 fly over my house...hehe

well....Dutchy...I live about 5 miles from the track. I can hear them during practice and race time. I HAD tix to go..but a friend of mine didn't come thru. I've been there every year for the last 35 years...not all of them to races. Maybe next year I'll buy some tix and you can see the GREATEST SPECTACLE IN RACING, rather then watch them airshows. At least I know a certain "friend" that won't be getting my "NASCAR" tickets this year to the BRICKYARD 400.... Not sure if your a F-1 Fan Dutchy, but they race that here too....Along with the U.S. Nationals Drag Racing. When you live in Indy....you got to like Racing. Cheers!

OK...this has got to be the Site of the Week for me....I just couldn't stop laughin....great stuff They're Pilot SKins: Here's the full list...great site!! http://www.simops.com/warbirds/misc.htm

One Out-House....$3 One MK.82 Bomb....$300 The crater left after mixing toxic wastes gases with explosives....Priceless! You better make that crater huge Gecko...I'm talking Mushroom cloud size...LMAO....Great Work...but are you just getting bored over there or was your add-on induced by alcohol? You never cease to crack me up!! Fates....

He Jeff....what about these beast...??? This game is all about the downward spiral.... <C> Fates

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- This MiG-29 Fulcrum flown by Lt. Col. Tom Hahn, squadron commander of Germany's Fighter Wing 73 "Steinhoff," flies over the Gulf of Mexico during a training exercise. The German MiGs are being hosted by the 53rd Wing during various training missions. Unlike previous visits to the U.S. for training, this deployment provides German pilots the opportunity to fly live-fire missions against both full-scale QF-4 drones and sub-scale drones. This MiG boasts a particularly colorful paint scheme for their "Farewell USA" tour. The Germans are transitioning to the new Eurofighter and this will be the last trip for the MiGs to the U.S. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Michael Ammons) Found at the AF.mil site. Fates

Good question... I've posted question and pic at LOMAC site... lets see what happens

probably the same one I found Capun Cheers!!

That looks a little like the one I did a while back. I see you've spruced is up quite a bit... GOOD JOB!!! here's some more: http://oldsite.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...c;f=55;t=004695

Hey Beer......this is with new CAT 3.4 Drivers: hehe!!!

I think it would be great to have the Aircraft Add-ons(models) section organized like the calendars....or the squad links pages in which you have each model represented by a graphic.... I have almost all the new and upcoming models as graphics in 160x120 size....just say the word and I'll zip them and send them to ya. Actually, if it were done like the Squad LInks sections you would have more room to list details about the author...etc...etc... Just my 12 cents....but I'm a dime short. Fates

Here is the DECAL tutorial Direct from TK himself....hosted by McFly. http://www.bobsyouruncle.net/SFdownloads/D...%2011-12-02.zip

Hehe...I used to do the BBS thing all the time back when I got my first Hayes 1200 Smartmodem. As I recall, I think I stumbled onto that site a month or so back. Man, most my Bulletin Board System tinkering was searching for files or downloading games...yeah..the original Napster. hehe. Al Gore created a great internet for us all to use. (sorry...just couldn't resist) Fates

180 Knots is standard on almost all aircraft.....from a Learjet to a 747. Although the gear may be able to handle higher airspeeds, it's the spar that it's attached to that doesn't need the radial stress loads over time. There are also things like gear doors that are not manufactured aerodynamically or structurally to take the stress at higher airspeeds. Besides....the real question is "Why do you need them at higher speeds".. and the answer is "you don't". Flaps are the same way the are used for landing...not making a tighter turn. If you want to make a tighter turn...slow down. Air combat is all about who has the most energy. Flaps deplete that energy incredibly quick. They are generally not designed to take the structural loads either. Remember that at 200 Kts, your exerting hundreds of pounds per square inch on the control surface, which is hinged and when that force gets multiplied by x-factor at the fulcrum (hinge bolts), I would just hate to have my flaps depart the aircraft and destroy a more important control surface..."Elevator" Cheers Fates "I am not a military pilot....but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night."

Yes... hope you all enjoy this one....I seriously thought about doin a calendar....but..... no one would every see what day it was.... CHeers!!! Fates

Thank-You as well Seawolf. It's the membership that makes the site enjoyable, so let me return the Thank-you to you and everyone else. The Kinetic Energy in this place is definately building! And a big Thank You and Your Welcome to MJ for using the the new Banner and creating such a great place for us sim fans to communicate. Cheers! Fates

I thought everyone might enjoy a glimpse in to the past. I would just love to fly out here for a show. Here's the Link: http://www.oldrhinebeck.org/ This has got to be one show to see....Even Dutchy would love this one. Happy reading Fates

Great to hear the demo's out.....and hey look: It's the Soviet Version of AIRWOLF: OK, now how many of you got that tune running through your head? Cheers!

Enough Firewood to build an Aircraft..... $100 Gasoline to stay aloft for an hour.......... $2 Beautiful paint job............................... $10 Kahunas Bigger then England to Fly the thing in the first place.......................... $Priceless

Many at LOMAC Central have stated over and over that the release will not be moddable to great extent. Skins and Decals will be allowed to be edited as stated by Matt Wagner. It has also been stated by the Ranking members of LOMAC that there are plans to have post release mods coming straight from Ubisoft depending on how well the sim does. However, lets focus on getting the game out in a stable form first. Like MJ says, "Mods do not a sim make". I'm sure that with enough money and time, there will be mods to the game, just not end user mods. All of this however will be entirely proportional to the support the sim gets.

I spent my Weekend with the real thing Dave! This is DustDevilODB at the Pima Air Museum in Tuscon....with "BIG SAL" I'll have more pics of the Museum as well as a review soon <C> Fates

Thought I might post this for ArgonV and the rest of you Historic Wing buffs: Can you Identify this: For your best guess, continue to this site: http://www.historicwings.com/whatsthat/index.html

OK everyone.....lets keep this more of a humor section and not steer off the road in bashing the French...(been there..done that). I was havin some fun over at the ODB Board, and thought I might bring some of the fun here. Just post what CAPTION you would put in the bubble.... Personal Favorites so far: PosionODB: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman..." CorvetteODB: "The last time Condaleeza and I were naked....." Enjoy!
