  1. Krizis's Yak-38, onboard MarcFighter's Kiev:
  2. Gee, I don't an issue with that...oh wait.....I know why.....
  3. The engagement radar (sometimes referred to as the "height finder") is the radar that is used provide direct guidance to the missile. In TW-game parlance, it's the "SAM" radar. The acquisition radar's function in real-life, by definition is (as the name implies) to acquire targets based on the bearing info provided by the search radar, and to hand those targets off to the engagement radar. Though there is no object role so defined in the series, ground objects (namely ships) may be equipped with dedicated search, track, and height finder units. MarcFighter's Kiev is an example of this. Erik Gen's Nike site is equipped with all three of the aforementioned radar types.
  4. Those are executable files, not "game engines". To answer your original question (with another question), did you notice the correlation between name length and the file size?
  5. As I've mentioned before, it's been a few years since I've had an ATI card in any of my PCs, but yes, I believe that it is, possibly under an "advanced" option.
  6. Just 20 years? "School's Out" was released at the time I was graduating from grammer school, June of 1972. Hell, now that was over 38 years ago...
  7. He also starred in one my favorite pics, "Taras Bulba", with Yul Brenner. He will be missed....

  9. I have not messed with an ATI card in a few years, but off the top of my head, try enabling these settings in the CCP: 1)Geometry Instancing 2)Alternate Pixel Center I used to enable them to allow my x800 series card to play nice with TW's DX9 shaders. Also, are you setting FSAA in the options.ini file? If so, try a value of "4". You could also try enabling the ATI tray tools, and force FSAA & AAF settings in there.
  10. Donovan had at least three pop/rock hits during the 1960s, "Sunshine Superman", "Mello Yello", and "Atlantis": The J.Geils Band was more rock-oriented than Bon Jovi, especially during their early days. Dr.John can be compared to Leon Russell, genre-wise.

  12. I've had sub-launched IRBMs and ICBMs in game for over five years. However, they're of limited (if not "zero") use.
  13. The F-117 didn't have flaps, and first flew over three decades ago.
  14. You can change the apparent size of the moon as it appears in game, as well as its luminosity, if that's what you're looking for. Open up the environmentsystem.ini (assuming that you've already extracted it to your saved games/thirdwire/sf2x/flight folder), and search for the following entry [Moon] MoonMaterial=MoonMaterial MoonSize=13.0 <-------adjust this to change apparent size MoonMaxLightLevel=0.20 <-----and this to change luminosity MoonLightColor=0.8463,0.9945,0.9945 OvercastAmbientModifier=1.0 OvercastDirectModifier=0.8 MoonTextureFormat=Moon%03d.tga NumMoonPhase=29 NewMoonDate=09/22/1968
  15. Frequency and bitrate have less to do with SF & Sf2 compatibility, then does mono and stereo encoding. Only sounds that are encoded in monaural format will work in either series.
  16. RARITAN BOROUGH (Somerset County) John Basilone showed up to Raritan’s annual John Basilone Parade today. That is, a record number of people saw John Seda — the actor who portrayed the World War II Congressional Medal of Honor winner in HBO’s miniseries "The Pacific" — attend the 29th edition of the parade honoring Raritan Borough’s favorite son. "It was just an honor," said Seda, who grew up in Clifton. "I knew the connection that Basilone has with his family and friends from Raritan, New Jersey. I can only think that John, if he were here today, he’d be doing the same thing." Despite overcast skies that began to drizzle as the parade came to a close, organizers said the estimated crowd of 10,000 spectators was an all-time high, thanks to the "The Pacific." "That would be a record," said Herb Patullo, who has helped organize the parade since it was first held in 1981. The miniseries, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, follows the lives of Gunnery Sgt. Basilone and two other U.S. Marines, Robert Leckie and Eugene Sledge, from their first battles in the Pacific theater to their return home. The 39-year-old actor said he felt an unusually strong connection to the role, and was happy to attend the parade again for a second year. The 10-part series aired in March. "Being raised in New Jersey myself, I felt this pride, you know," said Seda, who signed autographs and posed for pictures with fans. "How do you go about portraying someone like John Basilone? It’s not made up. You know, someone could look at his story and think it was Hollywood-made. It’s not. It really happened. So, I just tried to find the humanity in who he was and tried to work it from there." The image of Basilone looms large over the borough and its 6,300 residents. A larger-than-life-sized bronze statue of Basilone was erected in 1948, an idealized image of the curly-haired hero standing bare-chested, a crucifix and dog tags hanging from his neck, his machine-gun in his hands and his gaze fixed on a world free of tyranny. A ceremony accompanied by a Marine Corps band was held at the foot of the statue following the parade. Mayor Jo-AnnLiptak, said it was her own third-grade class at Raritan’s John F. Kennedy Elementary School that first proposed a parade in1980, presenting the idea to then-Mayor Steven DelRocco after a visit to the statue. "The farther away we get from his actual life and his death, the more important it is to remember the extraordinary heroism that he exhibited that day," said Liptak. Seda stood on a reviewing stand at the corner of West Somerset and Daughtry streets as ROTC drill teams, marching bands, Marine Corps motorcycle clubs and other veterans groups filed past him. "Humbling is the word I’ve used so much, and I just can’t use it enough," he said. Basilone won the Medal of Honor for his heroism as a Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant during the Battle of Guadalcanal on Oct. 25 and 26, 1942. His heroic legacy was propelled to near mythic proportions when, after being deployed stateside to sell war bonds, the camera-shy Basilone insisted on going back into combat, only to be killed on the island of Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945, at age 28. Spectators included 92-year-old Ann Scarpone and her sister-in-law, Phyllis, 85, who grew up with Basilone and whose brother, Connie Scarpone, caddied with the hero-to-be at nearby Raritan Valley Country Club. They were among thousands of newborns to nonagenarians who lined West Somerset Street, waving flags and cheering the passing spectacle. Fire trucks and military vehicles, bagpipers, a vintage cannon that boomed every block or so, and even an aging Elvis impersonator, all marched in celebration of Gunnery Sergeant Basilone. One of the younger marchers was LorinBrungard, 17, a senior on the Immaculata High School Color Guard in Somerville, who hopes to become a Marine Corps lawyer. Brungard, who lives in Bridgewater, was marching in her fourth Basilone parade. "He’s, like, one of my biggest heroes," she said. "I watched the HBO series, "The Pacific," and I was just in tears."

  17. Only if one has a force feedback controller.
  18. I've experienced at least a 20% improvement in frame rates in SF2 under DX10 (Win7 & Vista), when compared to SF2 under DX9 or WinXP. Also, game loading times are cut in half under Win7, if your system is properly optimized.
  19. I believe that you're confused. If you equip your aircraft with LGBs, you must have either an integral, or pod-mounted laser designator, or they will not guide.
