  1. ECM Pods

    ECM pods do work in this series. They simply reduce the range at which a SAM radar can acquire and track you. Once you're acquired though, it's usually too late, as you're close enough for the SAM radar to overcome any jamming . The effect is called "burn through".
  2. Sorry, it's just not feasable in this series, unless the developer adds the neccessary coding.
  3. Those are supposedly the correct color for that weapon. In truth, though, the majority of Soviet-Bloc allies used Pink-red tracers on12.7 mm and larger caliber weapons.
  4. The only way for that to work, is to create separate emitters for the left and right wingtips. Then , you need to adjust the left to have a positive emission velocity rate, and the right to have a negative rate. This will (if you balance rate and particle weight) cause them to "curve" inwards. This is the value set that you need to play with: EmissionVelocity=X.0,Y.0,Z.0
  5. It's how pitch/roll/yaw dampening works for the AI in this series. If you set it too high (as some do to compensate for issues in the FM), that's what you get.
  6. It's usually not a good idea to use beta drivers. I recall hosing a windows 98 install that way, and all because I was seeking a few extra frames per second in Falcon 4.
  7. On which aircraft? I do not experience this at all, unless of course you are talking about the F-4, which is correctly modeled so that it rolls with rudder input, and not with the ailerons, at high angles of attack.
  8. Try adding this statement to the gear entries: DeployWithFlaps=TRUE. It's really meant for control surface entries, so I'm not guaranteeing that it'll work in this case.
  9. One diagnostic step you can take to determine if it's the Vampire model itself, is to set the various model nodes on the Vampire from their present declaration of "ShowfromCockpit=TRUE", to FALSE.
  10. Sounds as if you're not using the right .cat file, or the proper path to one.

    Actually, building codes in NJ are very stringent, and have been so been since the 1960s. Must of the older beach homes (pre-1960s construction) were built as summer homes , originally intended as inexpensive vacation cottages for working-class families. The fact that several "Mac-Mansions" got washed away, speaks volumes as to the height and strength of the surge. I may have some hereto unseen footage of the storm-surge sweeping through the streets of a coastal town at the height of the storm. According to the person who made the video, the first 4 feet of the surge was more in line with a tide movement, but the last 6-7 feet of it came in like a tsunami wave. Here's a link about another person's ordeal: http://www.dailyreco...ext|NJOPINION02

    Well, we got hit by another Nor'easter last night, 50 mph winds, sub-freezing temps, and 13 inches of snow in my town. It took my power out, yet again. I awoke to a dark, cold apartment this morning, and waited until daylight to begin digging out (I generally leave for work at 0530). Needless to say, all the local roads were an obstacle course of downed tree limbs and power lines. This was a heavy, wet snow,,,,check out the power lines in the video: DerSchnee.wmv Here's set of before and after aerial images of the New Jersey coast, superimposed over one another.

  13. New WIP, AI-only, the Yak-44 "Mainline"
  14. The Walmart fiasco was basically this: TW delivered a beta version of SF:P1 to Walmart for evaluation purposes, and Walmart decided to not to wait for the finished product, and distributed it as a finished product . It was patchable only enough to make it playable, but it was not the same as the Strategy First version, which was patched all the way to the '08 level.
  15. Northrop Strikes Back...

    Yes, that would be cool.
  16. Northrop Strikes Back...

    The "Cobra" was meant to be an alternative to the F-104 for export sales.
  17. Northrop Strikes Back...

    It should be more like "I am your great-grandfather!" P-530, son of F-5, father of P-600 (AKA YF-17), grandfather of the F-18. http://wiki.scramble.../Northrop_P-530 More on the LWF program: http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/q0236.shtml
  18. With a scale model James May at the controls?
  19. Access the Iceland terrain, aircraft, missions, etc, from EXP2, then.

    A montage of post-Sandy images, this is the nearby town of Manasquan, NJ (about 10 miles SE of me). http://www.manasquan-nj.com/Sandy-1012/index.html
  21. HOLY SH&^T!

    I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I can guarantee you one thing....someone had to check their underwear after this incident...
  22. There's one by the Tomcat74 and the Mirage Factory that needs to be finished.

    Hello and Thank You all for your concern. Power was finally restored to my complex early Friday morning, and my internet/voice/CATV service, just a few hours ago. Cell service here is still sporadic, depending on one's carrier. In my immediate area, for example, my carrier only allows one to place emergency calls (911, etc). However, a mere 15 minutes drive to the west, and I get full 4G LTE service. For me, this storm was nothing more than a major inconvenience. It chased me out of my home for a few days, as my power and heat were both cut off (and Jedi Master, I have gas heat, but it still depends on electricity for ignition and metering). From Wednesday until Friday evening, I actually lived at my place of employment. We had access to food, shower facilities, some internet access (albeit site-restricted) and television. By comparison, it was a catastrophe for some, and deadly for a few. At least three of my friends lost their homes, cars and boats. Luckily, none lost their lives, or any family members, to Sandy's wrath. Their stories were mostly sad, except for one stoic fellow, whom I'll refer to as "Ahab". Ahab's residence was on the barrier Island community of Mantoloking. Below is an aerial view of the area, in the aftermath of the storm. The inlet at the foot of the bridge did not exist before the storm. It was carved out by the storm surge, which literally bulldozed a path through homes and a state highway, allowing the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay to meet where NJ Highway 35 once was. Ahab's home was just south of the bridge. In his word's "I heeded advice from an old-timer, who had survived Hurricane Donna (in 1960). He told me that in the event of a major hurricane, it was best to leave all the doors and windows on the ground floor wide open, and let the storm surge pass through your home. If you leave them closed, or barricade them, the surge will most likely knock your home right off its foundations, and carry it away. So I did what he said, and my house is still standing, although I have over a foot of sand in places on my ground floor." Ahab had carried all his valuables and some of his furniture up to the second floor before the storm, so they were mostly undamaged. He also stated that during the height of the storm, the surge reached up to the ceiling of his ground floor, and was lapping at the upsatirs landing. Further north, we have been hearing stories of the surge having reached a measured height of 13 feet above the high tide mark, of dead fish being found a half-mile inland, and of rail cars having been wrenched off their tracks, and carried onto the NJ Turnpike.
