  1. How nice. You two must be realy close neighbors...in fact, you even share IP addresses!
  2. Please tell us which TW model had a "lockable groundradar" in real life. Can you even name one?
  3. Happy Birthday Hrntfixr

    Holy ShiiiiT! It's HrntBrkr's birthday! I'm sure that Baghdad Bob would be honored to award you "infidel of the month" status, if he were still around.....
  4. That is anything but a "real" sensation of speed. What does it do for (or rather do to) the perceived handling characteristics of aircraft models, who's flight models are the product of many hours of effort on the part of the developers? It is, in my opinion (and my apologies for being blunt), a bogus solution, to a non-existent issue.
  5. The submerged sub mod (periscope) was created for a project that I was working on, by Kesselbrut. It's in our downloads section.
  6. Funny headline goof

    You should have seen this headline before the editors fixed the punctuation. It still sounds funny... http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/accident_on_garden_state_parkw_5.html
  7. Because you either did not load an EO (electro-optical)guided weapon, or because the aircraft does not have an entry for an on-board camera/designator. As FC stated, you DO NOT place any .dll files into the aircraft folders. They are accessed via a path statement. I suggest that you learn how the sim works before you start making changes that will lead to a hosed install. That's what the knowledge base is for.
  8. Are you going to tell us that you've never heard of Tank Girl?
  9. Happy Birthday Migbuster!

    Cheers!
  10. Yes. He'll use it against any target you tell him to hit, or against the designated primary target.
  11. The Netz already has that ability. Again, the avionics.ini has absolutely nothing to do with the AI.
  12. This day in 2001.

    The first week of September 2001, I was presented with two possible assignments by an IT recruiter. One was a short-term (4-5 week) project working for the Port Authority of NJ & NY, at the WTC. The other, a four to six-month position at a logistics firm located in Parsippany, NJ (in the heart of NJ's silicone valley). Both projects started on Monday, September 10. I took the latter, despite the fact that it paid less and required that I work a shift from 6 AM to 2:30. But, it would keep me busy into the late Winter or early Spring. The first day on the job, I was told to expect a large file transfer, every morning, from the firm's office at the WTC, no later than 9:30 AM. On the second day at work, the WTC file did not arrive on time. I waited until 9:45, and then called the 'Trade Center office to find out what the holdup was. I got an automated reply, stating that "all circuits were busy". I tried again at 10:00 AM, and then called my supervisor. My supervisor wasn't in his office. I then decided to make myself a coffee, and as I walked into the coffee room, I saw that it was empty....given that it was break-time, I thought that unusual. As I was walking back to my office in the basement, I encountered a colleague, the very one that I was supposed to route the large WTC file to. As I began to explain why it was late, he looked at me as though he'd encountered a lunatic, and replied "My God, haven't you heard? The 'Trade Center's been hit by an airliner! Everyone's in the cafeteria, watching CNN". I rushed into the cafeteria, and found literally the entire office staff watching the big screen projection TV that was in there. I came in just as they were replaying the collapse of the South Tower.... Later, as I drove home at 2:30 PM, I could see the plume of smoke from the WTC fire on the Eastern horizon, some 35 miles away. The roads were eerily empty....
  13. Aircraftobject.ini = global effect on AI (I advise against modding this file, as it's not been necessary for over two years now. AircraftX_data.ini = effects only that model, and can be tailored specifically to take advantge of that model's capabilities (or to minimize a model's shortcomings). The AircraftX_avionics.ini is strictly for the player's benefit, controls how the avionics behave in the player's cockpit, and has absolutely nothing to do with the AI.
  14. At present, the series is not that graphically demanding, other than running best with a card that sports a 1024 mb frame buffer or greater.
  15. I have to disagree with you. MiG-21s and F-104s armed with IRMs still paint you in search and acquisition modes from distances as great as 15-20 nm. Anyone with a combined SF2/SF2E install, who wants to prove this for themselves (and has a flyable MiG-21MF with Adrian's pit), just drop this mission into your SF2 missions folder and let Lexx know what happens: 21MF_vs_104G_(1v2).rar
  16. SF2 doesn't take advantage of SLI. OC'ing your processor to 3.6 ghz will yield a bigger bang for your money.
  17. Then obviously, you don't know how to read a watch. I used a Phantom with it's radar in ground map mode, and waited until a ship target appeared on the screen with the range set at 10 nautical miles. It took 101 seconds at 390 Kts ground speed, before I overflew the target, which was sailing at 30 knots on the same heading that I was.
  18. 0.3 minutes? More like 3 minutes. Around 8 minutes? Did you measure it? If you make a rough guess like that, then you cannot blame someone for dismissing your observations.
  19. And you base this on what, experience? The sense of speed one gets appears realistic to me.
  20. Both MiG-29 and Su-27 radars were modified after 1990-1993. Alexander Suyev defected with a '29 in 1989, and Adolf Tolkachev provided the CIA with data on the NO19 until his capture in 1985.
  21. Tiger Shark Eats Man in the Bahamas - 09/08/2010

    I'm sorry, but people in the water become part of the food chain, just as sharks in the water can easily become part of man's food chain. It's nature's law, plain & simple. Besides, Mako steaks are great barbecued, baked, or broiled:
  22. So it's not realistic prior to 1993 or thereabouts, right?
