That's something that's best left to an idividual to perform on their own, as it's not hard to accomplish. Just make the diameter of the tracer 10 mm larger than its caliber (it is way too large in diameter, by default, to begin with). Then you increase the tracer-length, giving it that long streak effect, that adds to the impression of it's speed and ROF. For example, on the Gsh-30-1, I'm using: TRACER SIZE: 0.04 TRACER LENGTH: 0.09

The '117 is limited to whatever fits inside of, and whatever can be deployed from, its internal weapons bay. It was a purpose-built aircraft, which historically has not been the key to longevity.

Listen to Column5 you will, for he is "teh GRand pIMpmAsta Of tEh manY SeXPlans!!!!111!!"

That's just the generic "Gsh" gun sound, coupled with a tracer mod Those are CA_Stary's effects. I have both passive countermeasures mapped to the pinky switch and secondary triggers on my HOTAS, so I can dump loads of chaff & flares in less than 1 second.

I sent Jug a copy of Marcelo's Su-25 with an SP5-compatible flight model I penned up, to get his feedback on it. He's simply exercising discretion in not posting images of it. I intend to forward said FM to Marcelo, once it's been suitably tweaked.

SFP1? Well, find out which MiG-23 model you're using in that mission and edit the following line in its data.ini (MiG23XX_data.ini) to match: [DetectSystem] RadarName=Sapfir-23ML RadarType=AIR_INTERCEPT RangeUnit=KM RadarAzimuthLimit=60 RadarElevationLimit=30 RadarSearchTime=1.33 RadarSearchRange=75.0 RadarSearchStrength=55 RadarTrackTime=5.0 RadarTrackRange=55.0 RadarTrackStrength=40 DopplerLookdown=TRUE VisualBlindArc=5,6,7 VisualRestrictedArc=4L,8L MaxVisibleDistance=16400.0<----THIS ONE HasRWR=TRUE

While I agree that 10,000 meters is far more likely to pass the sanity test as to a true "visual" acquisition distance for a MiG-23-sized aircraft (in RL, that is), my reasoning behind using 16,500 meters, is that the system uses this as the (visual & electronic) detection range of the aircraft for both the AI and Red Crown. More than likely, the failure of your wingmen to engage the MiG-23s (nowhere did you state which title you're running this on, which would help immensely), lies in the maximum "visual" detection distance.

There is no such thing as a neutral side in this series, only enemy or friendly Regarding your other issue, it's no doubt a simple case of the max visible distance setting of the MiG-23's being too low, and the Airbus's, being high enough to make it detectable by your wingmen at that range. Crank the MiG-23's up to 16500, and you should be ok.

What C5 failed to disclose, is that should the threat level ever reach nOObcon 5, the LAtviaN MAfIa will dispatch a hit squad to the perpetrator's abode.

You let your wingmen forminate? This is a family site!!!!111!

Dave.....when will you learn to STOP TESTING NUKES!!!111!!!

Ah pity da fool......

That's an A-Team bird. It should be on their site.

From Kreelin's Mi-8 HIP FM, for example: [38] SystemType=REACTION_CONTROL_SYSTEM InputName=PITCH_CONTROL ReverseInput=FALSE MaxThrust=31083.749 ThrustAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0 ThrustPosition=0.0,-4.969,0.0 ThrottleRate=5.0 MinThrustVectorInput=0.20 [39] SystemType=REACTION_CONTROL_SYSTEM InputName=ROLL_CONTROL ReverseInput=TRUE MaxThrust=8611.808 ThrustAngles=0.0,90.0,0.0 ThrustPosition=4.969,0.0,0.0 ThrottleRate=5.0 MinThrustVectorInput=0.20

Not on any of the "right" models....

That's exactly what we've been doing to simulate helo flight for the last few years...

It consists of a series of small jets or nozzles that control pitch, roll, and yaw at low speeds. That is, at speeds below which the normal control surfaces become effective.

Captain Frank Mundus passed away in Hawaii, at the age of 82. I met him once, at a sportsman's expo in 1981, and I can tell you that he truly was Captain Quint Famed shark hunter Frank Mundus dead at 82 by The Associated Press Monday September 15, 2008, 11:48 AM HONOLULU - Frank Mundus, the legendary Long Island shark fisherman said to have inspired the Captain Quint character in the movie "Jaws," has died. He was 82. Mundus forged his reputation as a fearless fisherman in Montauk beginning in 1951, hunting down the world's biggest sharks. He died Wednesday at The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu after a heart attack, his wife said. It was his second heart attack in four days. He suffered the earlier one Sept. 6 at Kona International Airport after returning from a business trip to New York. Mundus had a history of heart disease, his wife, Jeanette Mundus, 46, said from their home in Naalehu on the southern tip of the Big Island. He suffered his first heart attack in 1998 and later had quadruple bypass surgery. Known as the "Monster Man" for the size of the sharks he caught, the gregarious Mundus had an outsized personality nearly as big as his famed boat, the Cricket II. "I had a lot of close calls," he once said. "Probably too many close calls." In 1964, Mundus used a harpoon to snag a 4,500-pound great white. He later bagged a 17-foot-long, 3,427-pound great white by rod and reel in 1986. He later described the experience to Esquire magazine. "After you get the fish, you turn around and look at the fish, and you feel sorry for the fish because he's your opponent," Mundus recalled. "I always feel good that I won, but I feel sorry for the one who lost." On his Web site, Mundus said events from the 1964 catch influenced Peter Benchley, who wrote "Jaws." But Benchley maintained that Quint was a composite character. The best-selling book was turned into the 1975 film, a blockbuster that left many beachgoers thinking twice about taking a dip in the ocean. Actor Roy Scheider, who lived near Montauk and played the police chief in the film, died in February. Although he retired to Hawaii in 1991, Mundus remained a frequent visitor to Montauk, and attended a shark fishing tournament there earlier this summer. Stret Whitting, president of the Montauk Boatmen & Captain's Association, said in an interview before the tournament that he first met Mundus when he and some friends hired him to take them shark fishing in the 1960s. "Mundus was the guy that started it, and this was before 'Jaws,'" Whitting recalled. "He was the guy that got it going and made it popular." Mundus, who was born in Long Branch, N.J. in 1925, called "Jaws" the "funniest and the stupidest" movie he had ever seen and said he had some things in common with Quint such as similar fishing techniques. Jeanette Mundus said her husband actively promoted shark conservation starting in the 1960s. He pushed the use of less damaging hook varieties that allow fishermen to catch and release the fish. "A lot of people over the years have thought of him just as a hunter of sharks," Jeanette Mundus said. "But he did try to preserve them." http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2008/09/f...rank_mundu.html
