Fubar512

I recall a MacDonald's TV-ad during the mid-1970s, where they offered a "Big Mac, medium fries & soda, and change back from your dollar." A Big Mac by its lonesome was like 69 cents back then, so it was a helluva deal. Then again, Burger King was offering 2 Whoppers (not Whopper Juniors) for 99 cents back then, too.

Ever been in an accident? The following are actual statements found on insurance forms where drivers attempted to briefly summarize the details of an accident. Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions. I thought my windows was down but I found out it was up when I put my head through it. I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way. A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car. The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment. In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole. I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car. I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident. I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident. As I approached the intersection, a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident. To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian. My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle. An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished. I told the police that I was not injured but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull. I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him. The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run so I ran over him. I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentlemen as he bounced off the hood of my car. The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth. The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of its way when it struck my front end. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.

What exactly are you looking for?

I've been involved in a number of accidents in my 33+ years of driving. Most of them have been nothing more serious than dents and paint scrapes. However, as a passenger in someone else's car, I've been in two rollovers! The first took place during the mid-1970s, and involved a friend with Jackie Stewert aspirations, driving an Opel GT on a winding country road. He overcooked his entry into a sharp corner, understeered off the road, and onto a plowed field. Had he simply let go of the steering and stayed off the brake pedal, the only damage would have been to his pride. Instead, he tried countersteering and wound up in a broadslide at possibly 30 MPH. He still had a chance to save it then, but he decided to apply reverse lock, and for some Godforsaken reason, stood on the brakes as he was doing so. All I remember was the sky and earth trading places at least twice before we came to rest, with both of us hanging upside down from our seat belts. Incredibly, the doors still opened, and it was only when I got out and saw the top of the Opel's roof crushed down to within inches of the door sills, that I realized how lucky we'd been. The second rollover involved a friend who fell asleep at the wheel. We managed to cross SIX lanes of traffic (three in each direction), without hitting anyone, and the car rolled when it left the road and fell off the steep (and thankfully), sandy shoulder. In both incidents, everyone walked away without a scratch.

Never mess with a .dll file. For starters, any changes made to a .dll will render it unusable, as each .dll is checked for version and file size by the game engine. If it doesn't pass muster, the game will not start. OTH, using a proper hex editor, one might spend some time perusing the code contained within a given .dll file. Occasionally, you'll come across an unused gem or two that the developer has not yet enabled in that .dll's corresponding .ini file.

The eels will simply mutate into their dreaded "mirror eel" stage, causing the laser cats to fricassee themselves with their own weapons. Then the eels will start to feed....

If the control surface's name is "aileron", then it should work.

It works fine. I've just tested my MiG-17F FM in WoE (patched to Oct 08 level), and that flight model that uses that very feature to simulate elevator lockup above 498 KIAS, and wing warping at 470 KIAS. Are you sure that you're exceeding 606 KIAS (300 meters/sec)? Update: An interesting find, I've just tested that value on the F-14, and have come to the conclusion that the use of that declaration seems to be limited to stabs and elevators. When applied to the Tomcat's spoilers, it did not work. When applied to the Tomcat's stabs, it worked fine. Update to Update: Well, the MiG17F's wing-warping works OK, and that's controlled by the same declaration of that model's ailerons, so apparentally, it doesn't work for certain control surface names.

Those models are nothing short of amazing. I've never seen a model of the battlecruiser USS Alaska (CB-1) before.

You were on the right track the first time. The pertinent value needs to be stated in meters/sec. As for the figures "not changing", are you sure that you're saving your edits afterwords? Or, is the original flight data file set as "read only" in its file properties"?

It involves Nigeria, so, we must place the blame squarely where it belongs. It's all Sparko's fault

15 secs from idle to full military would be ThrottleRate=0.20. This is the same setting I use for the MiG-21F13 and '21MF flight models.

Set it up as a bomb-bay. That's how the C-130's ramp is set.

Wow. Talk about showing your age. But then again, I've always opined that Space Wars was the zenith of simming

It runs Waaaaaay faster than FSX. It just does not run as well on systems with ATI cards, and that's been documented.

Try adjusting the Z-Buffer value upwards a bit. You'll find the relevant one under the "WaterTextureMaterial" header, in your VietnamSEA_Data.ini file.

Did you in any way say that the canopy was open, in your original post? You simply asked which lines to change, without detailing the whys and the hows. There are over 500 add-on models. Not all of them have opening canopies. My reply was based on the the question that you asked.

I'll bet that you don't have a system entry for the canopy under its parent model node, whereas the data.ini that you downloaded, does.

In some aircraft, the canopy is set as a "highlift device" and opens below a set airspeed. In others, the model's FM creator may have not included an opening canopy in the data.ini, and one must find the proper node by perusing the model's .lod file, using a suitable hex-editor. And, in some cases, one's simply SOL, as the model may not have an opening canopy.

I highly doubt that the RCS was better than a '117's...look at that tall, flat vertical stab. No stealth design has one. Also, by the early 1980s, low observable technology had progressed away from faceted surfaces to the conformal designs that one sees in the B-2, F-22, and the F-23.

All the End years (or, even the start years, if you're into that).

LOL....it's hiding in plain sight.

The Willamette Core and its associated chipset were optimized for RAMBUS, and RAMBUS boards were available throughout it's service life, Oct 2000 - December 2001. The Northwood Core was released in January of 2002, the year that you stated that the P4 Willamette was introduced.
