It's in the "Sound & FX" megapack that I released a couple of years ago. Perhaps I should post the 'Mega Readme' (as USAFBLT refers to it) from that, on the knowledge base.

Lexx, I believe that you misinterpreted what I said. While CLa is represented as a constant, the CLa Mach table allows you some latitude in tailoring that (or fudging, it depending on one's perspective). For example, on a subsonic bird, I might declare a CLaMachtable like so: CLaMachTableNumData=10 CLaMachTableDeltaX=0.10<----in .10 Mach steps CLaMachTableStartX=0.00 CLaMachTableData=0.674,0.827, 0.923,1.000,1.003,1.012,1.143,1.070,1.054,1.059

What, you have something against CDLalpha tables made up from multiples of from prime numbers? Keep in mind that straight-winged aircraft would tend to have lower Cla values at either extreme of the table, as they do not generate as much lift at high angles of attack, as would, say, a delta winged aircraft. Out of curiosity, and since you're using "single wing" entries, did you position the Xac tables along the mean area chord of both wings and the horizontal stabs? If so, where did you calculate the starting coordinates of the tables from?

A short, though regretfully silent,video of the MiG-17F flight model in action. It also showcases the tracer effects. You may want to zoom it to full screen. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=4090

The 21 series was completed some time ago. The 19 still needs work . Anyway, I'm at a crossroads here.... I can release a fairly hard core flight model for the '17F, one that can be a challenge to fly in hard mode (Mach-induced instability leading to Dutch rolls, etc.). Or, I can release a "simplified" one that is about 90% accurate, but doesn't get too nasty as you approach its limits. The latter is ready, the former may push the release back a week or so while I fine tune it.

You mean, something like this? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=4066

Fine here....

You format a post like that, and then you have the temerity to ask why I believe that you're acting rude? Are you that clueless?

Not fair? Let me be the first to clue you in on something.... A forum is NOT a democracy...it is a dictatorship. Now, I'd like to think of ours as being a benign dictatorship , but, either way , the fact remains. We make and enforce the rules here. Remember, you're the one signing on to OUR forum, and acting rude. We're simply responding.

Traveling at Mach 3+ in the rarefied atmosphere above 80,000 feet, the SR-71's titanium clad nose would often glow from friction, and sometimes even distort to the point of wash boarding. The F-15's Vmax of Mach 2.4-2.5@39,000 feet is due to the canopy melting beyond that speed. Assuming one had enough thrust to travel at those speeds at lower altitudes, what do you think would happen, say, at sea level? Or even much below 30,000 feet? The world speed record for low altitude flight (officially verified) is 988 mph/859 knots/Mach 1.3@125 feet, set by the F-104 "Red Baron", which was modified specifically for that purpose. That record has stood for 30 years.

Both Shrikes were fired from over 3 nm, and they both hit their targets (SAM radars). That's why the RWR went "silent" just as I dropped rockeyes on the AAA battery around the Haiphong POL site, which was the strike package's main target...even though I inadventantly took out the tanks myself..lol

The MiG-23 series should be active well into the 1990s. Which of the SF-titles are you running? Also, if you want a challenge, install the Su-27 and dial up the year to anything after 1991-92, so they have R-73s and R-77s.

Wow....I saw my first Bond film, "Live and Let Die", back in the summer of 1973, with my older brother. He was surprised to see the same actors reprising their "M" and Moneypenny roles, but I recall that he was somehow disappointed with Moore's portrayal of Bond. I guess Lois Maxwell was in her mid-40's back then, having played the role of Miss Moneypenny for over 10 years before that film. And, she was still at it 12 years later, ending her run in that series alongside Roger Moore in "A View to a Kill" (1985). Godspeed, Miss Moneypenny.
