Pcpilot, I recall once pulling into a no-name (independent) gas station sometime in late 1977. I was driving a 1969 Mustang, and it was literally running on fumes. The gas station attendant was amazed at how much gas that car managed to take into its (20-gallon) tank. He yelled out to his co-workers "I just pumped ten dollars worth into a Mustang!" Yep, those were the days. Hey, anyone notice the '67 Shelby GT500 at the pump in the second image?

In that case, you may simply be too close.

Are you sure that you're within parameters (in-range indicator light illuminated, etc)?

I really wish you hadn't mentioned bikinis. This video was taken on New Year's Day, 2015, just a few miles up the coast, in Asbury Park, NJ, during the annual Polar Bear Plunge. The air temperature was a balmy 30F (-1 C), and the surf temperature was about 41F (5 C).

Let's see, air temps below freezing (with a windchill effect making it feel well below freezing), and water temps that can cause hypothermia in mere minutes.... Yeah, that looks and sounds tempting Sorry, but warmer climes with great surfing are just a plane ride away.

There is no need to edit the aircraftobject.ini with any of the SF2 titles.

Is the aircraft you're having an issue with a 3rd-party add-on, or a default SF2 model?

Like I said, T.L.A.R

The Skyhawk, like many of its contemporaries, had a T.L.A.R gunsight that was used for both gunnery and bombing, as well as a LABS timer for nuclear weapons delivery.

In fresh, or in salt water?

Never did find out, but as I recall, the penalty wasn't for beating one's wife, it was for cruelty to the eel!

It's quite high, in excess of 450 KIAS according to published charts.

Did you know that in Norway, it is illegal to beat your wife with an eel?

Yes, please ship all eels to Dave......preferably by the bucket-load.

Off the top of my head, the hi-res ship model addons for XWA, which are available from Darksaber's site.

Skill levels can be set by individual aircraft type, and by nation. In the FMs I penned up for the KAW add on, for example, I set both the MiG-15bis and the F-86s at veteran (minimum) to ace settings. This makes for some wild dogfights. Since it merges by default, it will work with all SF2 titles.

The Klan sucks too.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but look up "Dixiecrat" in reference to the Klan.

I see a lot of tweets regarding goats in their future

Not to change the subject, but I had a Saitek X-36 HOTAS USB that lasted through 9 years of heavy use. The stick was worn out towards the end of its life, but I did not notice it until I replaced it with a HOTAS Cougar, that I've been using since then (about 6 years, now).

While it looks cool, many aspects of it strike me as being a bit too arcadish for my taste.

If you're experiencing a stretched cockpit when attempting to run at 1680x1050 resolution, the fix is quite simple. Open up your flightengine.ini file (which by default resides in the flightdata.cat file) and extract it to your sim's flight folder. One you've opened it up, scroll down to this entry: "AspectRatio=1.333". Edit the value so it reads "AspectRatio=16.10" (or even "AspectRatio=4.3"), and save it. You should be good to go.

Amaze your friends! Strike fear into the hearts of your enemies! And please, don't burn your house down.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFyKgmnCF-8#t=36

We need to have Charlie Hebdo billboards setup in Dearborn, MI, and Paterson, NJ.

Yes, one cannot launch any radar-guided missile until you have acquired a target and achieved radar lock (and in the case of semi-active and beam riding missiles, maintain lock). There should be a thread on this subject by Streak eagle.
