Again, I'm using Buny's weps with absolutely zero issues.

Bunyap's weapons work fine. You need to re-save the weapondata.ini using the SP5 weapon editor.

A new weapons editor was released with WoI (SP5). I believe that we it's available it in our utilities section, if not, I'll upload it.

I'm uploading the patches to our server right now, all three should be available within 15 minutes. That should free up some of TK's bandwidth.

Political idiocy and double-speak. He probably meant "F-113E", which truly hilarious when you realize what aircraft that designation is assigned to: YF-113E

I recall a situation back in the mid-1980s, just after the film 'Top Gun" had come out on tape, and was playing on the major CATV channels. A senator from NJ had watched it, and remembered Jester's (Michael Ironside) comment regarding Top Gun using A-4's as MiG simulators, because they were "lighter and faster" then the Tomcats the students were flying. Said congressmen then started in inquiry as to why billions had been spent on F-14's, when thirty year old Skyhawks were a more capable aircraft. Afterall, it said so in the movie The scary thing, is that this senator is still in office....

MiGBuster is correct, IR seekers & IRSTs are passive systems that rely on super-cooled optics to detect the infrared emissions given off by hot engines and aerodynamic surfaces. As such, their use is undetectable. Missile warning systems either incorporate small Doppler radars that "see" the approaching missile, or they're equipped with flash detectors, which (as the name implies) detect the flash of a missile launch.

The series supports swing wings, aerodynamically (as well as visually) as highlift devices, with the advantages......and disadvantages, of that sort of control surface.

Now, all we need is animation, and a sound effect. Imagine if, after screwing up a bombing run, your copilot swivels his head, stares you down, and then, in the Terminator's voice, says "Get Out..."

No. Believe it or not, there's some flying involved....even in "easy" mode All that the aforementioned keys do, is to swivel the Harrier's nozzles either up, or down. Just as in real-life, you're limited by your loadout. Fully loaded = no VTOL. Light (or no) loadout = VTOL.

The short answer is "NO". The full explanation: There is no provision for tracking weapons, as they have no RCS or heat signature values assigned to them. Active homing missiles, however, can be tracked by their Radar emissions on your RWR (if they're homing in on you). Unfortunately, you won't be able to differentiate the missile's radar from the launch platform's radar, as the threat icon and threat warning tone would be the same for both. Keep in mind that the original scope of the series was 50s-70s era air combat.

You need to add a few Spads to complete that seen.....Oh yeah, Naked Phanny....

Because he has no idea what he's talking about.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile

That's something that's best left to an idividual to perform on their own, as it's not hard to accomplish. Just make the diameter of the tracer 10 mm larger than its caliber (it is way too large in diameter, by default, to begin with). Then you increase the tracer-length, giving it that long streak effect, that adds to the impression of it's speed and ROF. For example, on the Gsh-30-1, I'm using: TRACER SIZE: 0.04 TRACER LENGTH: 0.09

The '117 is limited to whatever fits inside of, and whatever can be deployed from, its internal weapons bay. It was a purpose-built aircraft, which historically has not been the key to longevity.

Listen to Column5 you will, for he is "teh GRand pIMpmAsta Of tEh manY SeXPlans!!!!111!!"
