How's this:

I guess we need Glass Bottom airplanes

I'm definately no expert, but the site in which you got those pics showed several different models. One difference I see (assuming that you downloaded the Mig-21 Mongul from Biohaz, is that it doesn't appear to be a 2 seater.

ALthough it "can" be done, the avionics would be interesting against some old migs, or even some older USAF aircraft indeed

I haven't seen ranger either

cool

Go Dave!

U.S. NAVY'S F-14D TOMCATS GAIN JDAM CAPABILITY Naval Air Systems Command's (NAVAIR) F-14 Program Office announced today that it has accelerated and deployed a software upgrade program that will allow U.S Navy's F-14 D model Tomcats to carry Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM). Completed operational tests already in progress indicated that the software upgrade was mature and stable. The test community determined that with an acceleration of remaining critical tests, they could provide a recommendation for an early release of the JDAM capability. On Jan. 31, 2003, a NAVAIR software support team was assembled to modify the aircraft and install the new software. They reported aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt Feb. 2 and received required hardware two days later to start modifying F-14Ds. In 17 days, the team modified all forward deployed F-14Ds. The team loaded the software, assisted with the hardware modifications on the aircraft, and trained more than 90 aircrew and maintainers on JDAM employment. A Tomcat can carry four JDAMs, each weighing 2,000 pounds. March 1, 2003 marked the first operational employment of JDAM from an F-14D. "The Tomcat has proven itself time and again," said Capt. Peter Williams, NAVAIR F-14 program manager. "You could say that the cat has many lives and once again we've added more capability to a mature platform." For questions pertaining to the F-14 Program, contact Denise Deon, NAVAIR Public Affairs Office for TacAir, (301) 481-6263. For questions pertaining to the JDAM Program, contact Sandra Schroeder, NAVAIR Public Affairs Officer for Strike Weapons and Unmanned Aviation, (301) 757-5289. . http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Mar2003/b0...3_bt129-03.html

News of the Wierd. If your thinkin that you may need to vacation from all the media hype on Saddams future, why not try a trip to Cancun. Here's a deal that will cost you the shirt off your back, but don't worry...they're not gonna loose your luggage. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/WeirdNews/2003...2/19653-ap.html

"I wonder what Saddam is thinking now" Boom! How bout now? Boom! How bout now? Boom! How bout now? Sorry couldn't resist.

Just in from Laketrout195th....Soon to be released with SP9.2:

Sad news on the USAF front today. Tyler McFly of McFly's Hanger has announced that he is leaving the USAF scene to pursue a career in guitar-making. The site will stay online for the time being but he will be putting very little time into it at this point. I personally am sorry to see him go and wish him the best in his new passion. Here's his announcement:

Thought about offering Mcfly my space as well. However, Biohazcentral would work so much better. The message has been sent to McFly.

McFlys departure will be a big blow to the USAF community. He has been the coordinator of so many talented people. His website, although it will remain active for some time, has been THEE source for all things related to such a great game. I've known McFly since day one of the website. His Contributions to the USAF community will be missed. I hope his future is filled with as much happiness as he's provided for those that love this game. Cheers! (Note SIG....Riding Off Into the Sunset)

Nuff said. CHeers!

Hey Dan, Does it look anything like this? hehe.... Excellent Work Dude. Can't wait to take that up and flirt with some Migs. There's a real F86-Sabre in the same colors on the field here in Indy...maybe I can get ya some pics.

Check this link(Video): http://games.naturalpoint.com/sidebar/imag...ackIR_small.wmv It's an Infrared system that "looks" for a reflective "Dot" on the PC User. This dot can be placed on your headset, ball cap, forehead, etc.. While in use, it will pan your view of the game (much like a padlock view) to whever your head moves. Thus, if you look at the bottom left-hand corner of your monitor, the game will pan to that location in the cockpit, or outside the cockpit depending on your current game view. It's a great method to keep SA at maximum.

more complicated....heck...instead of IFR...it's IFOR (I FOLLOW OIL RIGS) hehe Cheers! Fates

When you gonna 3DMax the Garage?

Gotta give Credit to DanW and Zur for this great model for SFP1! Check out the site for the F-86 as well as a few other screenshots at http://geocities.com/dczurawski/p1f86f.htm Let me know what ya think...should I continue?

Quite a while back I brought up the idear of having a screenshot contest of various flight sims. Send me your screenshots and I'll make calendars. I'm currently getting my calenders (wallpaper) from www.historicwings.com They make 3 sizes (640x480)(800x600)(1024x768) in which I would do the same. I love this months pic of the Lear25D. I've worked on Lears for 7 years now..and I've got one in my shop that I work on every day. Heres mine: I'll find a nice shot for a few of the sims and get some calanders out immediatly....Cheers!

Time for a new machine Weasy... Here's some advice handed to me by BeerODB: Better to beg forgivness, then to ask for permission! My wife wasn't happy....but sometimes I think she uses my system more then I do
