  1. Hangs at 80% load are generally terrain-object related. Hangs at 90% are usually ground-objects. Be aware that feature-rich terrains definitely cause a load delay at 80%, even on fast systems. Have you tried a simple terrain, such as the stock desert or the range, to troubleshoot the issue?
  2. Only the Enterprise, Kevin. I never released the D-7. I should finish it.
  3. This is a must see: https://www.youtube.com/embed/ie3SrjLlcUY
  4. Cool! Thanks for sharing.

    Welcome to CombatAce. Wade on in, the water ain't deep....it just looks that way
  6. You seek Yoda, uhhh, I mean, Crusader
  7. It's not going to work, so you are wasting your time. ThirdWire removed multiplayer, as it had originally depended on Microsoft's DirectPlay under DX9 (and earlier DirectX versions). Microsoft removed DirectPlay support staring with Windows Vista and DX10, The SF2 series was developed with Vista and DX10 in mind, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectPlay
  8. Run cleanup. Flush the toilet.
  9. Those values under "AIData", are specifically tailored for the F-86 flight models, to discourage the AI from pulling past the stall. Using them, say, for an F-15, will hamper the AI's ability to use that model's higher AoA capabilities.
  10. Not on it's own. In real life, it had to receive ques from another aircraft, a skyspot controller, or possibly a chain of LORAN stations (though AFAIK, only F-105s used LORAN during the Vietnam war). And I seriously don't give a shit what you do in game.
  11. Ah, sorry to burst your bubble, but to the best of my knowledge, US F-4 Phantoms did not level bomb on their own, as they were not equipped to do so (with the exception of laser-guided bombs). Some B & C-models were equipped with the "Sky Spot" system, but that was nothing more than a very accurate transponder mounted on the bombing platform. It allowed a ground-based radar system to determine the position and altitude of an aircraft so-equipped, and provided the IP and release point ques for them. I have read of F-4s using it in South Vietnam against the VC (and against the NVA during the Tet offensive). While they claimed 10-meter accuracy, most modern sources dismiss that figure as wishful thinking. Another thing; TK, the developer of this series, read the manuals on most of these aircraft, and set them up accordingly. What that means is that perhaps 5% of the time we'll catch him taking a SWAG, but mostly, his avionics settings are spot-on. More info on Sky Spot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Skyspot
  12. I had a friend drown when a violent microburst hit my area, and its 90 mph gusts created a 15 foot vertical wave that capsized their boat just a few miles offshore. As the boat was sinking, my friend dove into the salon to save his girlfriend, not realizing that she was already safely away from the vessel, and wearing a life vest. He never made it back out of the cabin before the boat went under. The wall of water then sped seaward at an estimated 50 MPH, damaging boats out to 40 miles offshore, and taking two additional lives. This happened in July of 1987.
  13. The SS El Faro sailed into the Bermuda triangle, and vanished just north of the Bahama Bank. The powers-that-be are blaming its disappearance on Hurricane Joaquin, but we all know better. It's time to start searching for it in the Gobi desert. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_El_Faro
  14. Funny, as I recall "Live and Let Die" getting way more air play here in the 'States than any other Bond theme before or since, followed by "Nobody does it better".
  15. This is from our local news paper's webpage. It's Hurricane Joaquin, as seen from the International Space Station, looking west towards Florida (the large illuminated land mass). Note the over-the-horizon sunlight, reflecting off of, and high-lighting the ionosphere.
  16. PFunk, There's nothing to be sorry for. You've done nothing more than to ask a perfectly valid question. Devil11, by simply being friendly, alerted us to the existence of pirated content, so he has no worries. Our original concern was that he was getting the file from an outside source, and offering it to someone, on our site (a big no no). Actually PFunk, on one hand, you are responsible for some wrong-doing. It's not an "SU-33". It's an Su-33.
  17. "ECM on! Chaff! Chaff! Chaff!" "I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that now....."
  18. That is the Inskye pirate model in that mod. Contacting the uploader, and deleting the file.
  19. Sorry, but this contains pirated content (the Inskye Su-33 was pirated from MarcFighters)
  20. PFunk the one that Devil11 is most likely talking about was made from a pirated copy of Marcelo's Su-33. The slimeballs who pirated it didn't even have the decency to change the loading screen that I had added to Marcelo's model, when they uploaded it. We banned them from CombatAce immediately afterwards. Devil11, that had better be something like FastCargo's false-pilot canard model, and not the Inskye pirated version, or you'll be risk getting banned.
  21. It's simply a matter of associating an illuminated material with the building (solid) objects. We tried this back in the SF1 days, and thought that it looked very tacky back then, so we never released it. Time has not improved on its appearance. Hint: look to the moon.
