Sounds very cool to me. What frustrates me is the 3,600 metric tons of carbon saved per plane. I'm thinking yeah per plane per what? Per flight? Per day? Per year? They were vague on that point so the advertising guys can put up some cool numbers. Still carbon emissions reduced is always good.

Whew! In my head I was saying, "pull up! pull up!" Glad the crew made it.

I keep these two pages as reference material. They are very useful. Look for the posts by Fubar512: http://combatace.com/topic/21867-definitions-of-aero-coefficients/ http://combatace.com/topic/45050-higher-turn-rate-how-to/ For me, understanding how CD0, CDL, CLA, and CMQ work are very important. Changes to CDL in the outer wing produce a more noticeable effect than they do in the inner wing. Incremental changes to these parameters (critical: only one at a time), then several test flights, can teach how these parameters affect flight.

I wonder if renaming the folder changed system ownership/permissions. That might explain why renaming it "Kursk" then back to Kursk 43 worked.

I thought it might be difficult to make a Continuation War install without A-Team assets, but I've done it. Since both Finland and USSR used aircraft from other nations, it creates some interesting matchups. I'm using JonathanRL's terrific Sweden terrain and many of Veltro's and Raven's aircraft. I made lots of new skins build this. There's a few compromises. Pasko's Yak-9P is standing in for earlier Yaks, but it's a very close facsimile. The Sweden terrain is modern, but it still fits nicely in this scenario. Here's a video I made from the install. If folks are interested, I could post the entire install.

Awesome. These are the kinds of stories I love. The weirdest stories come from war time. Imagine explaining this at a dinner party... Partygoer: How did you two meet? Mrs. Curdes: Oh, I was in an airplane and my husband shot it down.

Good to hear that. Congrats. If I remember the install directions I think renaming the campaigns folder "Campaigns_Russia" was important. Good troubleshooting.

I think we need more details. Which campaign? And WoR is SF1. Did you convert it to SF2? If so, what did you do to convert it to SF2?

I love the way the Top Gear guys talk about Lamborghinis. They love the insanity of the cars. When trying out the Aventador, Richard Hammond was a little disappointed. He said, "The sound it makes is spirited rather than deafening. The air conditioning works. It's a proper car, not a machine that's trying to kill you." Here's the vid. The part above begins at 6:10

No wait, I hope we'll see Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Riri. She's a goddess.

I will just hope that Riri is played by Beyonce.

Blasphemy!

Skyfly had the right idea. You can also extract HUDDATA.ini from the cat files. You can edit things like this: [Display004] DisplayType=RADAR PosX=0.865 PosY=0.015 //Width=0.125 <--- slashes comment this parameter out //Height=0.16666667 <--- slashes comment this parameter out Alpha=0.60 InitTime=2.0 Doing the above will "permanently" remove the radar from display. There are many other items in this file you can turn off by changing the setting from TRUE to FALSE. Take a look at this file and try things out to see what you can turn off. When done editing, place your edited file in the "Flight" folder. If no such folder is present, just create one in the mod folder main directory.

Well I hope the "cleaning" metaphor is understood to be just that, a metaphor. Certainly, England will be free to manage their own affairs. Another big question is how well will they do that? National economies can be run into the ground just like any business, or they can be managed very well and grow very fast. Time will tell. At least England now has the freedom to sink or swim based on their own merits, not someone else who isn't accountable to England. As it was standing recently in the EU, the UK paid out 13 Billion per year in membership, but the EU spent a mere 4.5 Billion on the UK. Apparently, membership has benefits that make up the difference, but no one is unable to tally these exact figures. How convenient. Sounds very much like a Ponzi scheme. And yes, even when Free Trade Agreements are present, nations (like Norway) must sometimes pay a tariff. FTAs do not guarantee a complete removal of tariffs, just a reduction of them. Free Trade Agreements do not necessarily mean "completely free" and they usually don't. The jittery over-caffeinated folk in the financial sectors aren't a good indicator to me. A large number typically overreact screaming, "Sell! Sell!" even if something minor happens like the wind suddenly changes direction outside. Cooler heads are usually what balances things out. As we saw on referendum day the market nose-dived, then climbed sharply again. Nothing mechanical or concrete had changed. On that day, the UK was still in the EU. No buildings had fallen, no cities were destroyed. Farms kept working, and the lights remained on. Physically, nothing had changed at all! Looking at the financial markets over just a few hours or even days period and believing it is an indicator of life for decades to come, is a gross error. We'll simply have to wait and see.

Hopefully this video plays okay. It's a documentary called, "The Green Prince." It's about the son of a militant Palestinian cleric. The son eventually becomes a spy for the Israeli Intelligence. Interestingly, it wasn't the Israelis who really convinced him to do this work, but the horrific behavior of the Hamas...towards other Palestinians. It says a lot about Israelis and Palestinians to see how close the Palestinian got to his Israeli handler. They became as close as brothers. Hopefully, folks will find this illuminating.

Has anyone noticed that when cleaning a room - I mean really cleaning it - during the process the room is far messier than before you began. This is worth it because, in the end, the room is very nice and neat with everything in it's proper place. I think exited the EU will be much like that. I predict that the UK will experience a certain amount of economic downturn for one to two years. I think it's unavoidable, but after this clean up period, England will be far stronger and better organized than it ever could've been under EU Rule. While watching a talk show on BBC America, one of the pro-Brexit panelists predicted a recession lasting up to two years. I think some certain people will panic upon witnessing this, and certainly pro-EU pundits will say "I told you so." Not to worry, when the UK has finished reorganizing, the UK economy will blossom.

I think you miss the points made so eloquently by whiteknight and Nesher. No, not all Palestinians are bad, just the animals who stab little girls in their beds. Just the whackjobs who launch Grad missiles from orphanages, hoping the inevitable counter-battery fire will kill Palestinian children. It's a travesty when any child, Palestinian or Israeli is killed. Israel actively tries to AVOID such deaths. The Hamas psychopaths actively SEEK innocent deaths. The news story at the top is evidence of this. And Palestinians don't need a country to be peaceful. Every day there's a chance to be peaceful. Hamas just needs to...stop...shooting. They would be amazed at how peaceful that is.

I've made some new skins for MM/TMF Corsairs. Last time uploaded I noticed there are special rules for posting mode to their work. So how/where do you contact them to ask permission to post updates? Anyway. Here are some screenies of the new skins.

Sundowner? Yipes. His skins are legendary. I'd best bring my A-game to do them justice. Luckily, in my skins I use a bazillion different layers. So adding G-System markings is pretty easy. Weathering was already there, just subdued. I thought folks might complain about too much of it. Here's some shots of an Essex Corsair with the weathering turned up. Better? A Franklin one is also in the works.

So does that mean I have the MM/TMF's blessing? And I hope you don't mind my redoing the same squadrons. Those are my favorites, it so happens. The number decals are yours I believe. I just wanted a darker color palette.

That's the thing that struck me at the beginning of the Brexit documentary. No representation in government? No self-determination? Nanny-State government controlling everything? Where's my gun? It's time to revolt! Americans wouldn't put up with this Communist system for more than a second without beginning an armed rebellion. In the documentary, we learned there's an ultra-modern shopping mall paid for by EU membership dues, but only EU officials get to use it. Seriously? My soft-spoken, gentle-hearted wife started screaming at the TV. Luckily, my gun was safely locked away, or I would have shot the TV! I for one, support Britain's decision. I think it's the right call. It's the decision most Americans would make in the same situation.

I should hope everyone can watch the following documentary to understand why leaving the EU is a good thing.

So much ado about "Article 50" as though triggering it was to unleash a country-killer. It's nothing more than the process of leaving the EU. A structure for establishing new trade deals. That's it. It's not some menacing bogeyman. We do all realize it's possible to trade without a trade deal, yes? What do you want to bet I could order an book from the UK and it would be delivered to me here in the US. Gads! Is that legal? How could I receive that item without a trade deal? There's much talk about globalization, and there is a lot of it these days. Borders are fuzzy in the modern internet market. If people or businesses want to trade with someone in another country, they just do it. There's no need to sit on our hands and whine about the lack of a trade deal. So this towering spectre of the dreaded "Article 50" is nothing more than a miniscule pebble in the road blocking the path of a capitalism's fully loaded, heavy-weight truck.

I personally hope you Brits escape the yoke of the EU. I watched a documentary on the topic. As soon as I realized that Brits didn't get to vote for EU officials in Brussels ( e.g, "No representation in government") I realized something had gone terrible wrong. When British fisherman aren't allowed to fish in British waters, and must buy British fish from German fisherman, government has gone awry. 92 laws governing the manufacture of toothbrushes? 47 laws governing hand towels? This is unfettered bureaucracy. It's doomed to fail. The UK should flee for its economic existence while it can.
