  1. Here's an alternate effect, using animated translucent "rings", This one dates back to March of 2009: Movie.wmv
  2. As stated, there is no provision for real-time pitch-linked thrust vectoring, beyond animation. The F-22 model, for example, has its nozzle animation linked to the elevator axis. Also, one cannot simply add it to a model. It must be incorporated into the model before it is exported to the game, therefore only the model's developer has the ability to add the necessary animation.
  3. Been there, done that, like 8 years ago. The effect does not work the way you expect it to, and it's only visible from directly behind the model. The attached video dates back to 2010, and if you look carefully when the model is in flight, you'll see the "transparent smoke heat shimmer". That is as good as it gets. Heat!.wmv The real issue is that the developer did not see fit to use the majority of the shader entries that are available in the DirectX library, so that we cannot create a working heat-blur shader, until someone comes up with a work-around.
  4. Went to the Wings of Freedom tour at Monmouth Executive Airport, in Wal l/ Farmingdale NJ this morning. There was a good-sized crowd, as they had announced that they were going to have a B-17G, a B-24J, and a P-51C there. But, they surprised us at the last minute with a B-25!
  5. For the past two days, my abode has been overflown by vintage warbirds. The first day, I heard the distinct roar of multiple radial engines, but got to my deck too late to see what it was. Today, however, I saw that it was a B-17 on approach the local airport. I ran inside and checked the 'net, and found that the "Wings of Freedom" tour had come to town, I am definitely going tomorrow, though I wish that I could afford a flight in the 'Fortress, never mind get some stick time in the P-51, http://themonmouthjournal.com/wings-of-freedom-tour-returns-to-new-jersey-p1292-1.htm

    Found these videos from the Collings Foundation of the Wings of Freedom birds.....suddenly, what they're asking for a ride doesn't seem so prohibitive.

  10. Anybody knows what's gonna happen in September

    Fubar512 replied to DEVIL11's topic in The Pub

    Well, NASA did discover the wreckage of an ISD on Mars..............

  11. Flying Aircraft Carriers

    Fubar512 replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation

    I have fished on the wreck site of the Akron. Enough remains of it to provide some cover smaller fishes and lobster, which in turn attracts larger prey species and predators to the area.
  12. Around 1-2 PM, we had a front come through that would have impressed Cecil B. Demille. I half expected to see some guy wearing a robe and carrying a staff, looking for tall rock to stand on while parting the Atlantic.
  13. Thanks Ken, You Da Man.
  14. A modified version of Stary's Sarcasm V1.
  15. Here's an example of "system-placed" aircraft, including F/A-18s (and it seems that some A-8Bs crashed the party, as well)
  16. Again, that is not necessary, as a properly configured SFP2 carrier model will have the parking spaces specified in its ini file, and the game engine will populate it automatically.
  17. Are hosting a new series on Amazon Prime! http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/top-gear-hosts-were-very-6261097

  18. Deep Blue vs Bruce

    Fubar512 posted a topic in The Pub

    Bruce (the mechanical shark from Jaws) has some real-life competition. This estimated 20+ foot long female white shark, christened "Deep Blue" is the largest living white shark ever filmed: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3194207/The-real-life-Jaws-World-s-largest-shark-nicknamed-Deep-Blue-flashes-razor-sharp-teeth-new-awe-inspiring-video.html

  19. NATO Fighters

    Version

    1,813 downloads

    Details here: http://www.column5.us/natof.shtml The release notes: Installation ---------------- IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that you apply this package to a clean installation of Wings Over Europe. Some existing files will be overwritten during the install process! Also, make certain that the 8/30 patch for WOE is installed BEFORE you install NATO Fighters. Unzip the archive you downloaded above and run nfsetup.exe. You will be prompted for the location to install NATO Fighters. MAKE SURE that this is your clean WOE installation. If you install NATO Fighters over an already modded copy of WOE, it WILL break some or all of the mods. The NATO Fighters installation is completely automatic. Once the installation is complete, you are ready to play. Description ----------------- Thanks for downloading Wings Over Europe: NATO Fighters! This is a collection of some of the best NATO-themed mods released over the past four years for the Strike Fighters series. I think you will find the expansion of flyable aircraft types, the addition of more allied nations, and the inclusion of numerous environment and visual mods to be a great enhancement to your copy of Wings Over Europe. All new aircraft and nations are fully integrated into the three campaigns, and no additional configuration is necessary to enjoy these enhancements after you install. I must stress that all of the mods included in this pack are already available. This series of expansions simply brings them all together in one place, fully integrates them into the campaigns and makes installation a snap. The goal is not to include every NATO squadron, but a representative selection of units to allow players to fly for nations other than the US, Great Britain and West Germany.

  21. Holy Hailstone, Batman!

    Fubar512 replied to Fubar512's topic in Military and General Aviation

    I agree, scary as in "mandatory change of underwear" after landing.
  22. Every title in the series is stand alone (except for the expansion packs, which require their "base" title in order to install and to run). Stand alone of course means that you do not require any of the other titles in the series in order to run it. Having the mod folder for one title hosted on another drive (in a merged install), should not effect the other titles. The core files (cat files, exceutable, dll files) are always available to it and the other titles, on the root drive
  23. Moriarty, here you go again with the negative (gravity) waves....

  24. 70 years ago: Day 1 of the Nuclear Age

    Fubar512 replied to Capitaine Vengeur's topic in The Pub

    Which did not take place until 2 days after Hiroshima. and.... Was the use of two nuclear weapons which ended a bloody conflict and prevented the deaths of possibly a million more any less immoral then what took place at Unit 731 in Harbin? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731
  25. That is, if you don't mind them sailing on land.
