I was poking fun at Wrench's spelling of the name....

They actually named an aircraft after someone's scrotum?

How long is two weeks? From a modder's perspective, quite often not long enough.....

All the "other games" you're running are undoubtedly not as CPU intensive as Third Wire's titles. Lower the Horizon distance to normal in the options panel, that'll increase frame rates. The other thing is, why are you forcing DX9? Are you running Windows XP? All the SF2 titles (patched to the latest versions) run a lot faster under DX10.

The "_holes" prefix is no longer used. The format now is simply "TextureName_damage.DDS"

And you think that's a new & original concept? How about a 39-year old western, starring one of the staples of the genre (Charles Bronson)...teaned up with a Samurai? http://www.fandango.com/redsun_v40749/summary

This is the first installment of a multi-part series on the tragic (and suspicious) sinking of a scallop boat, on our local newspaper's web site. The 23 minute-long video that's embedded on the page is well worth watching. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/11/the_wreck_of_the_lady_mary_cha.html

Absolutely! I love the classics; The War of the Worlds, Forbidden Planet, Earth vs the Flying Saucers, The original versions of The Thing, and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (and many more, of course). Regarding the latter...I had to watch it several times to offset the negative experience of watching the remake.... I mean really.....Keenu Reeves as Klatuu? With his lack of acting ability, they'd have been better off casting him as Gort

Drove by today with my camera, and unfortunately, they'd fixed the sign

The sustainer effect is, and always has been, the "inflighteffect". I've no idea why TK even added a sustainer effect line, as it simply confuses people.

You cannot take off from a carrier in either SF series, in a random mission. You have to have a mission specifically written with a carrier lauch and recovery in it. Those are referred to as scripted missions, BTW.....

I saw this sign being painted onto the inside face of the glass facade of a local shopping plaza. From the vantage point of the parking lot in front of the building, it proudly proclaimed (in 10 foot tall letters), "NEPO ERA EW SEY"... I do believe that they confused the facing

I already linked to this THREE posts above your first one.... http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/11/09/mystery-missle-launch-off-california/

SF2 at the latest patch level runs much faster in DX10 then it ever did under DX9. And DX10-HDR is built in as of the latest patch.

It is possible to effectively impose a G-limit on a given flight model, and thereby simulate FBW controls to a degree. For example, I set up the F-117 FM in the original ODS pack using this method. It involves setting up the XMAC tables for the aircraft's lifting surfaces (and balancing them against the lift values for the stabilators), in such a way as to limit the aircraft's ability to exceed a set G limit at all speeds. It easily accomplished via a bit of trail & error, and (as FastCargo would say) a lot of "skull sweat" One then needs to compare the FMs performance against published performance curves, and adjust as necessary to make the end result seem believable.

Fixed

SF2 with the new Korean war mod. All I did was to add a bit of faux heat-blur, and play with the contrast and color saturation.

In full AB, or in mil power? In full ab, a Hornet should be able to sustain 9 Gs in a horizontal turn, without bleed off.
