Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots
Fubar512 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
I may as well release this model, as well. I've had permission to do so from its creator (Tomcat74), for the last three or four years. It needs to have the texture work completed, and the FM needs to be brought up to the latest patch standards. -

That's not MarcFighter's model. It is missing bump-mapping, the radome isn't as smooth, the tail is the wrong shape, and it's lacking external reflections from the canopy. -

If you're encountering Vietnamese Sampans in the desert terrain, then they're not properly configured to take advantage of the "limited nations" statement. They should have a userlist.ini which (as the name implies) lists the user nations a given object can be assigned to, This works in conjunction with the limited nations statement, preventing Israeli Phantoms from showing up in Vietnam, or Vietnamese sampans from showing up in the North Atlantic.

a few newbie questions
Fubar512 replied to Shrikey's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
What difficulty level? Also, try flying against the MiG-15 FMs in the KAW pack. With everything on hard settings, you should have a real fight on your hands. -
What is a 'Turn And Burn'?
Fubar512 replied to TeaAndScones's topic in Military and General Aviation
From: http://lerch.no-ip.com/NDM/Film.HTML/ACM.html Turn & Burn (known as Angles) fighting is a tactic in which a fighter tries to gain a position advantage on his enemy by out-turning him. Energy is always an important consideration in any fight but the T&B fighter relies more on his ability to turn than he does on his energy. A Boom & Zoom (or Energy) fighter on the other hand is constantly building an energy advantage (zoom) and then converting that energy to a snapshot (boom) opportunity. -

I tried welding them together, but it didn't work too well. I Guess Mig-welders do not suffice for Sues. -
SF Traffic Sign Hacked To Warn Drivers Of ‘Godzilla Attack’ SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A prankster is getting points for creativity after hacking an electronic traffic sign in San Francisco warning of a “Godzilla Attack.” The sign was spotted on Van Ness Avenue Wednesday night, reading ‘Godzilla Attack – Turn Back.” The mobile sign was supposed to be warning drivers about traffic delays during Sunday’s Bay to Breakers foot race. The sign has since been fixed.

Before the DB crash and subsequent restoration, you asked about catching a giant bluefin tuna, what we call a "money fish", one that would pay your salary for a year. Well, first you need a vessel that's set up for that sort of fishery, and one that meets CG safety and NMFS license criteria. That would run you about 50K for a used downeast-style, single screw boat in serviceable condition (they'll set you back 250-400K new). Add to that at least 5-10K in 130 lb-class tackle, gaffs, terminal tackle, etc. Then you have to pay for dockage (at least 2K per season, and that would be cheap). Then you have fuel costs (think between .75 and 1 nautical mile per gallon, and your average tuna trip will run about 60 nautical miles round trip). Next comes bait (about $150-200 per trip, again keeping it on the cheap side), and at least one pound of ice for every pound of fish...so think 1/2 ton of ice just to be safe. If you're successful (locally) , it will take you at least two averaged size fish to start paying your expenses, which come right off the top. And this is assuming you can get two or three of your friends to work deck for you for free....lol the real pros fish the circuit from the Outer Banks of NC to Gloucester, from May through January (unless NMFS decides that the GBFT quota has been met and closes down the season). And they generally have annual expenses in the 25-50K region. Below are some of the regulations you need to deal with (notice that recreational anglers can keep one giant per year north of Great Egg inlet, NJ this year): 2014 Recreational Atlantic Tunas Retention Limits Effective May 8, the bluefin tuna (BFT) daily retention limits are increased from the default of 1 BFT measuring 27-<73" to the following. For HMS Angling-permitted vessels: 1 school BFT (27 to <47") + 1 large school/small medium BFT (47-<73"). For HMS Charter/Headboat-permitted vessels: 2 school BFT (27 to <47") + 1 large school/small medium BFT (47-<73"). These limits are effective for all areas except the Gulf of Mexico. The recreational BFT trophy fishery (73"+) is closed for the southern area (for landings south 39°18’N, i.e., south of Great Egg Inlet, NJ), but is open for the northern area (for landings north of Great Egg Inlet, NJ) with a limit of 1 BFT measuring 73" or greater/vessel/year. For further information, see notice in library (at left). The recreational yellowfin tuna retention limit is 3/person/day or trip. The minimum size for yellowfin and bigeye tuna is 27" curved fork length. There are no recreational limits for bigeye, skipjack or albacore tunas. Bluefin Tuna Angling Category Southern Trophy Fishery CLOSED The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) closed the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) Angling category fishery for large medium and giant “trophy” BFT (measuring 73” or greater) in the southern area effective 11:30 p.m. local time, April 11, 2014, through December 31, 2014. The southern area is the area south of 39°18’N (off Great Egg Inlet, NJ) and includes the Gulf of Mexico. The intent of this closure is to prevent any further overharvest of the Angling category southern area trophy BFT subquota. Fishermen may catch and release or tag and release BFT of all sizes, subject to the requirements of HMS catch-and-release and tag-and-release programs. For further information, please see the notice in the library (link at left of page) or at: www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/news/breaking_news.html. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna General Category Fishery CLOSED Until June 1 The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) closed the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) General category fishery for large medium and giant BFT (73" curved fork length or greater) on March 21, 2014, until it reopens on June 1, 2014, for the June through August period. Based on the best available BFT landings information for the General category BFT fishery, NMFS determined that the General category January BFT subquota of 23.1 mt has been reached. Although it is called the “January subquota,” the regulations allow the January fishery to continue until the 23.1-mt subquota is reached, or March 31, whichever comes first. Retaining, possessing, or landing large medium or giant BFT by persons aboard vessels permitted in the Atlantic tunas General and Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/ Headboat categories (while fishing commercially) is prohibited through May 31, 2014. The General category will reopen automatically on June 1, 2014, for the June through August period. The intent of this closure is to prevent any further overharvest of the General category January BFT subquota. Fishermen may catch and release or tag and release BFT of all sizes, subject to the requirements of HMS catch-and-release and tag-and-release programs. For further information, please see the notice in the library (link at left of page) or at: www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/news/breaking_news.html The last boat I ran...it cost the owner about 100K per year in ownership and operating expenses. It also sucked down diesel fuel at a rate of 96 gallons per hour at its 30-knot cruising speed.

Yesterday was the 77th anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster. It was marked by the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the site (NAS Lakewood), were 36 passengers and crew of that airship perished in 1937. http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2014/05/photos_ceremony_for_the_77th_anniversary_of_the_hindenburg_disaster.html#incart_river_default

Keep the faith, we're all pulling for you, Falcon!

You can also simulate aileron "buzz" at Mach 0.8+ , which causes the ailerons to lose effectiveness.

It was just a few degrees above freezing when I got up this morning. Winter never seemed to come to an end this year, and Spring so far has been nothing to write home about, either.

I delivered my buddy's boat from Manasquan NJ, to a marina in Sandy Hook bay early this afternoon, so he can use it in that area until the coastal waters warm up in June. Anyway, took these from my cell phone from the scenic overlook at Mount Mitchell (elevation 266 feet) This is the highest point on the coast between the Yucatan peninsula and Mount Desert Island, Maine: http://www.monmouthcountyparks.com/page.aspx?Id=2534 When you look at Sandy hook from this perspective, it's hard to believe that it housed a Nike Hercules launch facility, a battery of 8" naval artillery, and a battery of 16" guns! The marina in the third image is where my friend is slipping his boat for the next 6 weeks. And yes, that is the Manhattan skyline in the background. It is some 17 nautical miles away from where I'm standing, and the large building in the center of the second image is the freedom tower.

This has been discussed many times over the past decade, and I am done with providing images to prove it. The limitation is pixel size, and the actual limit is the point at which you can render one pixel. Also, if you zoom in from the cockpit, you can see (or at least used to see) a bomber rendered out to 17-18 nm, and a fighter at least half that distance.
