Speaking of Jimmuh... During Bill Clinton's run for the presidency in 1992, 'ol Jimmuh expressed his interest in taking on a more active role in the Clinton campaign. It was rumored that one of the higher ups running the Clinton campaign said; "No way.... Carter's about as marketable as a '58 Edsel. Tell 'em thanks, but no thanks". Just after the start of the first Gulf War, Carter gave a "Carter Center Briefing", on the so-called crisis. My thoughts, when I saw that, was "What's next, a presidential ethics briefing by Richard Nixon?"

Really? In that case, I'd like to see Jimmuh label conservative columnists Thomas Sowell and D.C. Thronton racists, since they've both labeled Obama "the Liar in Cheif". Oh, that's right, they're both African-Americans...

Pitch and Yaw axis-linked thrust vectoring does not work in this series. Unless TK adds it on to the SF2I release, or to whatever patches are forthcoming to bring the remainder of the series to parity with SF2I, I don't see him placing this too high up on his list of priorities.

Getting close to release. I've nicknamed this video "ticking off the AI". In the video, the Kiev's defenses are shown engaging multiple targets, my AI wingman, and myself. You'll note that the CIWS mounts are quite accurate (and deadly), inside of 2000 meters range. Kiev_Defenses.wmv

Happy birthday, Jim Well, knowing you as I do, I'd say that would be an extremely short list....tell us, Dave, what wouldn't you do?

Missiles are not targetable in this series.

3ds max 7, or later versions of 3ds max.

That's what search engines (such as Google} are for. Also, in regards to more recent weapons, you're not going to find too much info in regards to the weapons limits and capabilities...

Ready for beta test.... Kiev_SAM_test.wmv

Progress as of today: SAM systems....all done Flight deck VTOL config....successfully implemented & tested AAA batteries...8 of 10 turrets working independently, will engage multiple aircraft simultaneously. Two turrets (port fwd sponson CIWS mounts) still need to be activated. Thanks to FC for taking the time to create a super-sized measuring tool This video will show you the Kiev's main mounts and CIWS batteries operating independantly against two attacking aircraft. I deactivated the SAM systems for the video, as it's pretty hard to get (and stay) this close, when they're operating. Kiev_AAA_test.wmv

Wow Harold, I'm so caught up in this thing...that I didn't even consider that as an option. Thanks....you da MAN

That would be handy advice, if it were my model, or, if I had the MAX file for it (which it is not, and which I do not). The only alternative available to me, is to create a 3D pointer in MAX, set it in game as a missile object, place it on the model, and then use that to find the coords by trial & error. Extremely time-consuming, especially when one takes game loading times into consideration.

Having fun (not!!!!) calculating the barrel positions for 8 CIWS mounts.....

What do these locations and Tom Cruise have in common? First image is near south end of Kennedy blvd, in Bayonne, NJ. The second is near the intersection of Ferry street, Merchant street, and Wilson avenue, in Newark, NJ.

I understand that they have a rather difficult time getting new crew members for this ship. Most walk away after seeing its name....

Bad .wav file, no doubt.

No doubt after eating some of your own chilli....

No need to be sorry, if there's enough interest in this model, perhaps I can convince my fellow MF members to create the appropriate 3D model.
