No offense, by why remove the hi-poly Razbam probe, as opposed to the (ugly) low-poly Thirdwire one? I have an upgraded Razbam cockpit and avionics .ini files, that I'm going to get Ron's permission to upload. And yes, the fuel flow guage, Missile launch warning lights (etc) work on this one. BTW, to hide the ugly TW fuel probe, just add the following to the Thidwire A-6A_Data.ini: [AircraftData] DestroyedModel=A-6_Destroyed.LOD DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect EmptyMass=12836.9 EmptyInertia=112487.0,59225.5,218417.3 ReferenceArea=49.14 ReferenceSpan=16.15 ReferenceChord=3.31 CGPosition=0.00,-1.30,0.22 OnGroundPitchAngle=3.0 Component[001]=Fuselage Component[002]=Nose Component[003]=LeftWing Component[004]=RightWing Component[005]=LeftStab Component[006]=RightStab Component[007]=VertTail Component[008]=LeftOuterWing Component[009]=RightOuterWing Component[010]=Hide1<------Add this And just above the "Crew" section: [Hide1] ParentComponentName=nose ModelNodeName=Fuel_Probe DestroyedNodeName= ShowFromCockpit=FALSE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE

Should be AJ for the Nimitz's 1970s-early '80s deployments. But what if the Enterprise was sent in to the Atlantic, from the Pacfleet? Her air wing would be NK or NH, and she did perform a circumnavigation in 1986.

If you add new squadrons, yes you do.

AFAIK, Yes, using the same format for start and end dates.

Those are the same effects I have, so I do not think so. The water color is what's throwing you off.

DefaultStartDate=MM/DD/YYYY DefaultEndDate=MM/DD/YYYY

You're using a variant of the "cleanexhaustemitter" effect. That emitter billboards a flat, ribbon-like exhaust effect, hence the appearance of a 2-dimensional ribbon that appears to rotate with a change in viewing angle. The fix is to replace it with another effect, that works with a circular effect, such as this one, that's meant to emulate a very clean exhaust, mostly a sort of heat-blur with a hint of a smoke trail: CleanEmitter.zip Please note that you'll have to change the emitter name on whatever aircraft or weapons you want to use this effect on, to "cleanemitter", as opposed to the "cleanexhaustemitter" that they're probably using now.

What sim? This post doesn't belong in the pub....

Those triangles are telling you "upgrade to Windows 7"

Mah face be so phat, dat mah eyes look closed, I buy dees guns, so ah got no money fo' fancy clothes...

Oh, you're from Florida....that explains why you've never heard of "ice trees"

Somewhere, a SPO-15 is going Спам спам спам спам спам спам спам!

In it's current state, the flight engine has issues with aircraft that utlize separate lift engines (as opposed to swiveling nozzles). The Yak-38 (and the 41/141) both use separate lift engines aft of the cockpit. I hope TK and team have corrected this issue.

I did suggest that you edit that value (the "Y" axis vaule) in my first reply, remember? EmptyInertia=X,Y,Z

You just can't make this shiit up

No, but a Tomahawk may damage it heavily. Harpoon, is at best, a Frigate killer; it was designed to kill patrol craft. In service in '67, I just checked

Well, most ASM-equipped Soviet subs of that era needed to surface in order to deploy their ASMs. I believe the SS-N-16 "Stallion" was the first Soviet ASM that could be effectively deployed while submerged....and that was in 1979. The Oscar class carried the SS-N-19 "Shipwreck", and that submarine class and missile system went into service in 1983. We can always set up earlier sub-classes as surface threats, and there is/was a work around for submerged systems (obviously, we don't yet know what NA will allow in the way of a work-around or cheats )

Is that a Gearing class DD? Update: DD 743 was the USS Southerland, a Gearing class DD. She was decomissioned in '81.

Not really, that was a list of definitions originally posted by Charles at either Thirdwire or SimHQ. From the wiki: Cl and Cp relationshipThe coefficient of lift for an airfoil with strictly horizontal surfaces can be calculated from the coefficient of pressure distribution by integration, or calculating the area between the lines on the distribution. This expression is not suitable for direct numeric integration using the panel method of lift approximation, as it does not take into account the direction of pressure-induced lift. where: CpL is pressure coefficient on the lower surface CpU is pressure coefficient on the upper surface LE is the leading edge TE is the trailing edge When the lower surface Cp is higher (more negative) on the distribution it counts as a negative area as this will be producing down force rather than lift. So you can see that the "official" explanation is at odds with what the actual value does in this series...

That's a roll moment that you're editing (not a roll damper), and imbuing each panel with that large a value may result in unintended consequences. Such as a model that may still fly on an even-keel with half a wing missing (instead of rolling towards the side with reduced lift) Moderately reducing the roll moment values, in conjunction with a reduction in the "Y" axis inertia value, would be a better course of action.

So it would appear...the after-burner TGA is clearly visible in that image, which means that unless TK's "changed things", those engines are throttled up into 'burner.

They're SAMs being launched against targets that are leaving contrails and maneuvering at altitude, which is not the expected modern ASM flight profile (meaning on or near the deck).

Those Backfires are at their weapons release point, they're in afterburner, and they're launching ASMs at targets that are most likely over the horizon from them.....I like what I see!

Maim him just enough so, that while he'll still be able to effectively support your daughter and grandchild, he'll also never forget that you're not one to be trifled with.
