You can also use specific calander dates (not just years). For example, you can arrange it so that the USAF does not exist before 18 September, 1947 (the date it became a separate branch of the military).

That's the issue, right there. When I switched to Windows 7, my FRAPS 2.9.5 refused to work in any TW title. The latest release of FRAPS works well, though. Just upgrade to it, and you'll be fine.

What OS are you using?

Yes

Well, you're a modeler.... Build 3D models of, say, Outback Steak houses, place them liberally around your terrain of choice, and I'm sure that the giant bovine issue will soon cease to be a problem

If you're running the latest patch level (May 2011) the answer to your question is a resounding "NO!", that is, until TW addresses the issue in the next patch.

Of course. It needs a cockpit and/or a the appropriate cockpit line in it's .ini file in order to be flyable (you'll also require an avionics.dll and avionics.ini file in order to have a working radar and RWR). All that's in the knowledge base.

IIRC, they only finished one prototype of the '44 before scrapping the project.

The Kiev? It's been relegated to escort duty Seriusly, I've asked Marcelo's permission to release it as is...we can only wait for his OK.

How much RAM (system memory) or you running? 1024 MB or less is not enough to run Windows 7 or Vista well, let alone with the added memory load imposed by a modern game or sim. Your system would be much happier with 2 GB, and will run best with 4 or more GB of RAM. Also, your graphics card isn't really a ideal for this sort of work, a 512 frame buffer was great three of four years ago, 1024 is pretty much the accepted minimum standard today, even on entry level cards.

The default mapping for the TW 17s is just "OK". Please refer to Wrench's reply regarding AI-only birds for clarification. I agree with his explanations that the AI-birds were meant only to serve as targets, and are therefore expected to die in a grotesque, military manner. If I were penning up a new 3D model for the '17, I would certainly not utilize TW's existing mapping scheme. Funny that the same cannot be said for TW's MIG-21P & MF series, which sport fairly decent 3D models and mapping.

But, does it look anything like this?

As I said, the glow effect will not work in SF1 and its varients. It is DX10 (SF2) only. The exhuast trail is part of the SF2 particlesystem.ini, and will probably work fine.

That depends on what you mean by "look Like". For example, the glow effect emitted by missile engines in SF2 is a DX10 effect.

SF2's effects are DX10 shader-enhanced. The SF1-series is limited to DX9.

Here's a little cutie from me to youtie, it is model aeroplane glue! These ads used to crack me up when I was a kid:

Since there's no sign that the film was exposed to radiation (no evidence of white spots on the original emulsion) I'd say it was far enough away. The camera was probably automated or remotely operated, anyway.

I've ordered stuff from them on a Friday morning, used their free shipping option (only applicable on orders over $25) was given a delivery date of the following Friday through Monday, and had it arrive just two business days later, on Tuesday.

I deal with Amazon all the time, they're safe and fast.

Oh Great Pool-Hall Oracle, tell us of TK's plans..... http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ssanty/cgi-bin/eightball.cgi

I'm sure clanitho meant "locking on" as in acquiring a target by placing the radar's targeting cursor on it, and causing the weapon's seeker head to slave to the aircraft's radar (as one would with a SAHM or AHM). Not by selecting it as one would a visual ground target (via the "E" key), which is what it sounds like in your example, Eric.

Oh! You mean like this? Or like this? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/241648/air_to_air_missile_launch/

By either scripting one yourself, or downloading one from our downloads section. Otherwise, There is no way to launch from a carrier in a system generated mission. Which title(s) do you own?
