Will ya stop with the negative waves already?

Those are all from packages that you've probably downloaded in the past, some from individual sound packs, some from all-inclusive addons (such as KAW, for example). "LargeShellHit" and "ShellWaterHit" are two that I created. LargeShellHit.wav ShellWaterHit.wav

So, did the file meet your expectations? : )

Blind man's bluff is excellent, though keep in mind that it covers everything from the end of WWII to the early 1990s (and not just the Scorpion). I also recommend "The Silent War", by John Craven. He was part of the team that plotted the Scorpion's probable wreck site based on data from the Atlantic SOSUS network. He also pinpointed the most likely spots where the "missing" nuke off Palomares, Spain might be found (in 1966), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pi%C3%B1a_Craven

I can upload it to you when I get home from work tonight (which will be after 11 PM Eastern Time).

Talk about overcoming adversity. This video should be mandatory viewing in schools everywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiLDMBDPCEY

Julhelm, any chance of porting that game to Android?

Red Storm Rising was mostly written by Larry Bond. Pick up a copy of "Red Phoenix" or "Vortex"and you'll immediately recognize the writing style as being the same as in Red Storm Rising. I believe that Tom Clancy did most of the research regarding the order of battle of NATO and Warsaw Pact air and ground forces, though (this is speculation on my part). Here's a little write-up on Larry Bond: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Bond

RIP

A LIFETIME ON THE PRODUCTION LINE: ONE OF THE ORIGINAL "ROSIE THE RIVETERS" , 93 STILL DOING THE SAME WORK SHE BEGAN DURING WWII. Elinor Otto, was one of the original "Rosie the Riveters" women who supported the war effort by filling tens of thousands of jobs because men had joined the fighting overseas. When Elinor Otto entered an aircraft assembly factory during World War II, she never imagined that she would still be working as a riveter more than 70 years later. The 93-year-old first joined the workforce as a single mom in 1942, piecing together planes at Rohr Aircraft Corporation in Chula Vista to support the war effort. But rather than dip out of work or take a traditionally 'female' job at the war's end like other 'Rosie the Riveter' women, Otto returned to the plane assembly line where she felt most productive. She worked at the Ryan Aeronautical Co. in San Diego for 14 years, before moving to her current job at Long Beach's C-17 plant, the state's last large military aircraft production line. 'I'm a working person, I guess. I like to work. I like to be around people that work,' she told NBC News. 'I like to get up, get out of the house, get something accomplished during the day.' She said retiring at the standard age was never an option, because she had to care for her son and mother, and she had 'endless energy'. Although when Boeing finishes off its last contract for the cargo planes, she will probably have to call it a day. While the Long Beach resident admits that riveting is not an occupation in which you'd expect to find an elderly woman, the work helps to keep her on her toes. She is out of bed every morning at 4am and gets a coffee and newspaper, before starting work by 6am. She parks as far away from the plant as possible so she can walk over - her morning exercise. 'Gotta keep moving!' she chirps. The great grandmother's dedication and longevity have made her a local legend, with her boss admitting he sometimes turns to her for professional advice. 'She's an inspiration,' colleague Craig Ryba, a structural mechanic, said. 'She just enjoys working and enjoys life.' Elinor inserts rivets into the wing section of C-17 cargo planes at the California Boeing plant...a job she has held since 1942. Otto was recently honored when Long Beach opened Rosie the Riveter Park next to the site of the former Douglas Aircraft Co. plant, where women worked during World War II, according to LA Times. It celebrates not only the Rosie the Riveter era, but the later women's empowerment movement propelled by the slogan attached to the iconic Rosie wartime poster, 'We Can Do It!' Otto is one of the original women who took up thousands of factory jobs vacated by men sent to fight overseas. In its heyday, the C-17 plant was fully staffed with a parking lot so big that workers put flags on their cars to find them in the sea of vehicles, Otto told LA Times. Long Beach's aerospace industry has shrunk markedly since the war, causing production to dwindle and many jobs becoming more mechanized. The fact that Otto kept her job well beyond retirement age when others were losing theirs is testament to her skill and legendary status. However Otto overcame numerous hurdles on the way to fame. LA Times reported Otto was newly single with a young son when she joined the war effort with her two sisters. 'During those days, we could hardly find an apartment that would let you rent with kids. My goodness, they're going to go to war someday and they can't even live in an apartment,' she said. In her first job, she earned just 65 cents an hour - her son's childcare cost $20 a month. Her male colleagues resented her at first, but eventually accepted that women could do the same job just as well - if not better. Otto's grandson, John Perry, said his grandmother made history. 'You've saved American lives and you've been saving American lives your whole life,' Perry said he told Otto. 'It's a powerful story, a positive story, and one hell of a tribute to the female work force.' While Otto expects she will retire soon, she admits her energy is boundless. 'When I go to heaven,' she laughed. 'I hope God keeps me busy!' Elinor (in the middle) in 1943.

Are you using the default TW deployment scheme? That's six SAM launchers arrayed around one related SAM radar (for example, 6 SA-10L and one Flaplid, or 6 SA-2F and 1 FansongF). The prescense of an EWR doesn't mean anything to the in-game SAM batteries, they are simply there for eye-candy.

Effects in SF2 are shader driven, as opposed to the particle-driven effects in SF1, so they require an effects shader declaration line in the materials statement (such as the following), in the model's avionics.ini file: [HUDMaterial] EffectShaderName=fltHUD.fx DepthBufferCheck=FALSE DepthBufferWrite=FALSE RenderedInOrder=FALSE AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE CullMode=NO_CULL LightEnabled=FALSE UseLightLevel=FALSE SpecularEnabled=FALSE EmissiveEnabled=FALSE FogEnabled=FALSE AmbientColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 DiffuseColor=1.000000,1.000000,1.000000,1.000000 ZBufferOffset=0 PriorityLevel=1 BlendOp=BLEND_SRC_ALPHA NumTextureStages=1 TextureStage[01].TextureName= TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE TextureStage[01].FilterEnabled=TRUE TextureStage[01].StageColorOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE TextureStage[01].StageAlphaOp=TEXTURE_MODULATE_DIFFUSE

And no, this isn't something orchestrated by Terry Gilliam or John Cleese, this happens every day! http://www.wimp.com/indiapakistan/

This is where I am as of this evening. I do not have the free time, nor the patience to take this any further. I have sent what I have to a talented trio of modders, who will eventually finish this project.

Yes, start the game using the executable specifically for that title (ie, SF2V, SF2I, etc.). Next, while only in that specific game, delete the unwanted missions, campaigns, aircraft, ground objects, and terrain sets. Please be made aware that every time you install a patch, however, all the aforementioned will reappear, and you'll have to repeat the process!

I'm using the same method that I did to enable the navigation lights on the Handymax tanker.

Proof-of-concept screen-shot. Placing all those lights is going to suck, big time.

Three generations of one family have flown the B-52: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2430802/David-Welsh-B-52-Air-Force-Capt-Daniel-Swoop-Welch-piloting-plane-father-flew-Cold-War-grandfather-flew-Vietnam.html

Really, you don't think that this would be a tourist attraction in either country?

In real life, it is probably not as reassuring to look at as some of you might think!

The optical landing system, the catapults, and the arresting gear all have different settings for each aircraft type, and for each aircraft configuration (fuel quantity, loadout. etc)

I have an idea regarding the OLS, but I must tell you up front that it'll be global (it will not be correct for every model), and it won't operate exactly the same way that it does in real life. You'll simply have a ball that appears level with the datum lights when you're inside of its visual cone.
