The Air Force’s largest combat wing is ready to master the mayhem. http://www.airspacemag.com/articles/godzilla-vs-air-force-180951330/?no-ist

Yesterday was the 77th anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster. It was marked by the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the site (NAS Lakewood), were 36 passengers and crew of that airship perished in 1937. http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2014/05/photos_ceremony_for_the_77th_anniversary_of_the_hindenburg_disaster.html#incart_river_default

You can also simulate aileron "buzz" at Mach 0.8+ , which causes the ailerons to lose effectiveness. -
I delivered my buddy's boat from Manasquan NJ, to a marina in Sandy Hook bay early this afternoon, so he can use it in that area until the coastal waters warm up in June. Anyway, took these from my cell phone from the scenic overlook at Mount Mitchell (elevation 266 feet) This is the highest point on the coast between the Yucatan peninsula and Mount Desert Island, Maine: http://www.monmouthcountyparks.com/page.aspx?Id=2534 When you look at Sandy hook from this perspective, it's hard to believe that it housed a Nike Hercules launch facility, a battery of 8" naval artillery, and a battery of 16" guns! The marina in the third image is where my friend is slipping his boat for the next 6 weeks. And yes, that is the Manhattan skyline in the background. It is some 17 nautical miles away from where I'm standing, and the large building in the center of the second image is the freedom tower.

It was just a few degrees above freezing when I got up this morning. Winter never seemed to come to an end this year, and Spring so far has been nothing to write home about, either.

some tests regarding aircraft drawing distances
Fubar512 replied to mue's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
This has been discussed many times over the past decade, and I am done with providing images to prove it. The limitation is pixel size, and the actual limit is the point at which you can render one pixel. Also, if you zoom in from the cockpit, you can see (or at least used to see) a bomber rendered out to 17-18 nm, and a fighter at least half that distance. -
You'd think it would be easy... (probably is)
Fubar512 replied to fallenphoenix1986's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
The MiG-25's ECM values are undoubtedly set unrealistically high. Other than that, watch the following video, from the 14 minute point on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQDsD5gXUY4 -
ODS Road2Hell question...
Fubar512 replied to beachav8r's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Why, that sounds like the "CallKevinASAP.dll" error that eveybody's been talking about... -
Su-33 for SF2 ?

You mean something like this? -
Nation file location
Fubar512 replied to Lokkii's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The Nations.ini file is located in the Flightdata.cat. Once extracted and edited, it would go in your saved games/thirdwire/SFx folder/Flight folder -
[WIP] MiG-25PD cockpit
Fubar512 replied to Centurion-1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Really? I could have sworn that they were McDonald's markings? As for me, I'm waiting for the KFC textures, and Wrench is supposedly working on the 335th BK (Burger King) skin. As for Dave, well...... -

You sir, are clearly barking up the wrong tree -
Germany terrain rework (Wip)
Fubar512 replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
That's better. That statement is at odds with itself, as it is trying to reinforce a fallacy. The larger the object, the lower the density, the less of an impression of speed. Sorry, but that's a fact, not an impression. And it's not simply a case of it "not being an armor sim". It kills immersion when things appear to be out of proportion. -

You are not next to those trees, so how can you call that a valid comparison? A T-34 should be just over 8 feet tall. -

Fubar512 replied to Rends's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
LOL, are you serious? If that T-34 is the correct-to-scale height, then those trees in the background of the first image must be 150+ feet tall. -
IL-2 lends itself to early jet-age scenarios, but it was never meant to simulate anything newer than say, 1960 or so.

F16D_BLOCK52_REAR_COCKPIT
Fubar512 replied to acesfakia's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
One cannot really use that sort of cockpit in this series, unless one wanted to fly the aircraft from the back seat, which would be quite impractical. There is practically no forward vision in that 'pit, as evidenced by the images. -
Game options
Fubar512 replied to Gulfwarfighter's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
General rule: If you want specific answers, ask specific questions, otherwise, as MigBuster has already stated, you're going to get answers based on guesses. My answer, based on a guess as to what you're asking, is: NO. There are workarounds to help achieve certain capabilities, but the DLL files are what they are, and the executable appears to run a CRC check to ensure that they are in compliance. That means that editing the aforementioned DLL files is not a game for anyone who is not a developer. -

Try it under the Autumn or Winter seasons, Ant. -
You didn't actually expect this to be about the V-22, did you?

And that was after a cycle of layoffs at that company. The same campus once hosted 3800 users just a year before that refresh. It was a multinational company that, "Didn't make the colors, it just made them brighter" They have since leased that enormous facility out to another firm, and I believe that they're now down to less than 1000 users at their present HQ.

Problem with the game SF2
Fubar512 replied to Reblok's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Loss of lock due to ground clutter is definitely modeled. One of the tactics that I use against aircraft equipped with SAHMs and superior IRMs, is to take advantage of ground clutter.
