    Super Bowl

    Greetings from the former capital of the Confederacy, Richmond, VA. That game was football at its best, a contest that harkens one back to the days when the old NFC central division was known as "The Black and Blue Division", due to the intense rivalries and physical style of play. Both the Giants and the Patriots played as if their very lives hung in the balance.
  4. You have my blessings in regards to using any of my work.
  5. If by "lethargic", you mean in as far as excessive takeoff rolls, that's an issue with the original terrain data file for that particular terrain. You cannot have an airfield as the first entry in a terrain's data file, as it otherwise causes aircraft to behave as though someone had coated the runways with molasses Also, all of the runways in that terrain are well above sea level. You might be starting at 5K to 7K altitude.
  6. There are some interesting anomalies in the current game-code. For example, I once flew a B-52 strike in WoV, managed to get myself shot down by a SAM, and decided to let the game run, just to observe my flight's behavior. I was surprised to see the entire flight nail the primary target, without any direction from me! It seems that if the (non-AI) flight leader gets killed, the rest of the flight reverts to some basic AI-code, and attacks just as they would, had they been an AI-led flight to begin with. This is the same behavior that you'll see when you're flying an intercept mission against an opposing strike-package. They always manage to bore in on the primary target (unless you shoot them down, of course).
  7. The F-16XL's top speed, its near sea-level acceleration from 350 KIAS to Mach 1, and its Vmax at altitude (1.95-2.0) are accurate, as is its abilty to supercruise at altitude (with the F100-PW-229 powerplant).
  8. The image below will illustrate what you should see on a MiG-21MF's display while you're lining up a target on radar. Notice the cross above and to the right of the reticle? That's my target. I need to center it in the reticle. See the in-range light on the lower left of the display? I need to get the light above that one to illuminate. That will indicate that I've achieved a firing/guiding solution for a SAHM. See the target acquisition light below the gooseneck for the gun camera prism-housing? That means that the radar has acquired a target. Just leave your radar on boresight, and let the system handle the acquistion end of things. You'll then only need to fly the cues to help ensure a successful kill. Not a big deal, as the '21MF was primarily armed with IRMs, anyway.
  9. I posted this video some time ago on another site (or so I believe). This is Gabilon's Yak performing a takeoff from Marcelo's Kiev (still a W.I.P). YAK-KIEV VIDEO
  10. Two weeks closer relative to two weeks...muhahaha!
  11. Ahhhh, you do realize that stealth does nothing for you if your opponent's radar is "pointing" the other way, right? And that without the aforementioned parameters declared exactly as I mentioned, you're flying with nothing more than "placebo" stealth?
  12. Stealth is nothing more than a method of controlling the scattering of radar waves away from the aircraft so as to minimize its return....a powerful enough radar will still see it at some point. The trick is to minimize that by flying a profile that further reduces the chances of detection (ie, low level in the ground clutter).
  13. Did you declare it as "BaseRCSModifier=-0.0012", under the detect system section in the data.ini? If so, there is no way that you should see his return on a radar screen, with the options set to hard.
  14. From what I've gathered from our model-making gurus, if you're under the impression that you're brainless now, wait until you're halfway through the model creation process. By that time, you'll be able to count all your remaing brain cells on the digits of one hand.

    I Passed......

    1C3X1? In Star Wars, Chapter IV, "A New Hope", don't two storm troopers discuss that while Obi Wan is trying to make his way past them to deactivate the force field that's preventing the Millennium Falcon from escaping? I could've sworn that one storm trooper turned to the other and said; "Have you seen that new 1C3X1?" Just messing with ya, Dave. Congrats on a job well done.
  16. OK, Let's use another case to explain this, the B-1A versus the B-1B. The B-1A has an RCS equivalent* to 10 square meters. whereas the B-1B's RCS is equivalent to less than 1 square meter. Two of the obvious differences between the two, are the removal of the A's dorsal spine, and the redesign of the inlets on the B. And that was a redesign that took place during the early 1980s. Obviously, the science of "stealth" has advanced quite a bit since then. *It is somewhat incorrect to say "The FXYZ-100 has an RCS of .8 square meters..." The proper terminology is " The FXYZ-100 has an RCS equivalent to XX.X square meters", as the standard unit of measure is based on a flat surface oriented towards the x-mitter. Also, most of these figures are based on frontal aspect RCS, not whole-body RCS. An F-105, for example, may appear to be as big as a house when seen on a radar from a side-aspect, yet head on, it presents a smaller RCS than does a MiG-21!
  17. Because you probably don't know what you're doing?
  18. Maybe it's cold to you, but it certainly beats the ever-lovin' crap out of the 38 F highs and 18 F lows that I left behind in NJ. Besides...the fish here are a helluvalot bigger then those cute little snappers in your neck of the woods: http://www.thehulltruth.com/forums/thread-...456&posts=6
  19. Just thought I'd share a few images to help illustrate the hardships that I'm enduring on my employer (and friend's) yacht, in North Carolina. Please take note of the bitter, cold weather, the howling December winds, and the forboding appearnce of the sky here in Morehead City. I'm just soooo homesick.....NOT!!!!! The image below is for Crusader. I'd tried to gather more information on these boats, but the rather muscle-bound fellas with tatoos of seals on their biceps didn't seem all that friendly at first...that is, until I offered them all a few beers when they got off duty.
  20. Perhaps the missiles have a shelf life. Perhaps your AI pilots are getting smarter. Perhaps you've changed your difficulty settings and forgot about it?
  21. That would be me....and that was about 30 months ago...
  22. I have a strong suspicion that English is your primary language. I also suspect that you are somewhat intelligent. That means that you can probably find it quite easily, if you really apply yourself. In fact, I know you're going to do just that, as I'm closing this topic, in order to encourage you to that end.
