Indeed. There are frigates and destroyers there that may make you "destructable"

Crusader comes through, yet again When you get the chance, MJ, set your dial to the usual frequency. We have a job for you.

I believe that I did say "NO" in my response.

In a word, no. The aircraft will use whatever is available for it as a loadout (depending on what's in the weapons pack and the aircraft's loadout.ini), and you can use 3rd party aircraft, so there is some leeway there, but the downside to that is that everone must have the same install (as the server) or you will not be able to play.

If you'd spent a few minutes perusing recent posts, you would have found your answer

Nele posted his updates for the MiG-23 series in another thread....his work is solid. The '29 will be updated soon, but in the meantime, yes, check it's sea level top speed value. As for the '25PD, try this: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?act=a...ost&id=3323

Wrench. I've edited the data.ini for the Hawk launcher to prevent Salvoing, but had to locate the launchers in a semi-circle (ala Soviet-bloc), with each launcher guarding it's own sector. If you want, I'll post the basic layout, and send you the updated data.ini file(s).

Nele, Thanks for your contribution, that represents a ton of work. USAFMTL is rught, though, you should assemble them in one package along with the text of your post, and add simple instructions that those new to the game could follow.

Hey Typhoid, Do you have the current weapons pack, and which terrain are you using?

SO U TAK TAHT COLUM%!!!!11!! MEESTER USFATBLT W/CHEEZ SPEKE TEH TRUFUL TIHNGS!11!!

LOOK....DECEETEFULL COLUM5 LIVES!!!1111!!!

Actually, in the book at least, the MiG-31's stealth was active, not passive (as is the case with actual stealth aircraft). In the second book on the series, "Firefox Down", Gant had to land the MiG-31 on a fozen lake in Finnish Lapland (due to a losing fuel from battle damage incurred during his aerial encounter with the second Firefox), where it broke through the ice and settled to the bottom. A NATO team was flown in to retrieve it, and, to make a long story short, Gant had to fly it back out! Upon doing so, he discovered that the water had damaged the MiG's stealth system, so Gant was forced to evade interception by relying on the Firefox's speed.

They pretty much knew what the MiG-29 looked like by 1979, based upon spy satellite shots taken of the Ramenskoye test center during the later part of 1970's. The MiG-29's prototype was code-named "RAM-L" by the DoD, the Su-27's, "RAM-K". I recall reading a hard-cover, titled "Soviet Military Aircraft", which was published in 1981, and it contained line-drawings of the '29 (based on the aforementioned spy sat images), that were right on the money. As for the '31 'Firefox', Craig Thomas described it as looking pretty much like the '25, except that it had drooping wings, and a chined forebody. In retrospect, I find it ironic that Hollywood depicted the Firefox (in 1982) as having a somewhat faceted appearance, almost like the nose of the F-117A!

Really?

I recall doing that to someone, once, myself. I believe that it was Maverick, back when he was spamming the boards regarding the F-14A's progress. But at least Lexx's looks more like an airplane than mine did; If I'm not mistaken Column5 said that my rendering looked like a "Klingon Bowel Movement"

Yes, Perform a bit of research, find the exact position of the counter measure dispensers on the aircraft in question, and adjust the coordinates of the dispensers accordingly (and the eject velocity/direction, too). For example: EjectPosition= -1.26,-6.855,1.4 EjectVelocity= 0.0,-1.0,15.0 The 1st set of values value locates the CM dispensers on the model's fuselage or wings. For example: ( + value = right - = left ), (+ value = Forward - value - backwards), (+ value = towards the top - value = towards the bottom) The 2nd set of values sets the velocity that the counter measures are ejected at in relation to the above coordinates.

What amazes me, is this is about the third post from someone asking about a model, that was mentioned as a WIP in another post, just a few threads down. In fact, I found it quite ironic (and hilarious) that one individual actually started a thread inquiring as to the F-22's status, when there was a thread that mentioned the '22 in its title, just two posts beneath his! As Hrntfixer would say...DUR TA DUR!

Crusader (with Kreelin's invaluable assistance) put both your "babies" together: Video: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2790

I'm glad you like it! I'm sorry that I didn't get it out to you before the release date, but between real life events, and other models/projects that are (or were) in the pipeline, I had no free time. As it is, I'm just starting to catch up.

Well, I've noticed that they often play a bit more than just lip-service to somewhat insignificant details from the original series. 1) The music that was heard by Col. Tigh and the three others. may be compared to a scene an in episode from the original series, where footage of Neil Armstrong stepping off the LEM during the Apollo 11 mission, was being picked up by a video receiver on the Galactica (though in that case, it happened while no one was around to see it) 2) If you noticed, when Starbuck appeared in the last episode, her Viper was "pristine"...hell, it was almost bone-white! Also, her uniform appeared to be like-wise light colored. Again, (I believe) a throwback to the original series, when some of the Viper pilots were "abducted" by an alien ship. during the "Count Ibliss affair", and returned with certain knowledge as to the whereabouts of the 13th colony. So, who can tell?

I take it that if they ever built a carrier and named it after USAFBLT W/Cheese Dave, it would only have half-a-deck?

The featured a/c is Gabilon's Yak-41, which can be found in our downloads section. The carrier in the video is the Kiev, though you were correct in your assumption that it is Marcelo's work. As for it's release, one can say that it's not quite ready for prime time...yet

Craig Thomas wrote "Firefox" in 1977, and followed it up with "Firefox Down", in 1984. When the book was published, the MiG-27 was the newest Mikoyan production aircraft known to the west, though the existence of a newer model (the '29) had been speculated since 1976. That's why he choose to make his fictional aircraft the MiG-31. By 1984, the existence of the '31 had been verified, but Thomas wisely chose to continue using the '31 model number for his fictional aircraft, for continuity's sake. The movie based on the fist novel came out in 1982.

Nope, that's not the problem at all. The issue is one of an incorrect sea level speed value in the data.ini. Change it so it reads "MaxSpeedSL=361.10" and it will be fine. Better yet, wait until Doc Nele releases his data.ini updates that are based on real-world data.
