  1. I meant assigning the missiles air and ground capability....that isn't unprecedented, BTW, several SAM systems were/are touted as being dual purpose.
  2. Just for s**tz n' grinz, you should try giving the mobile SAMs air and ground capability
  3. I know that the Sabre segment of Great Planes dates back to the 1980s....I remember seeing it while on a Winter's vacation in the Florida Keys, circa 1988. Here's another on the MiG-15: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKff4m4pxA8
  4. Pulling Gs.....
  5. More videos to whet your appetites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VisiSCvNyY The first video has rare color footage of MiG-15 shootdowns over North Korea.
  6. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Jersey-Shore-Explosive-Shell-Battleship-Sandy-Hook-Monmouth-Beach-181440011.html
  7. There are several nesting pairs of Ospreys near my home. The closest, is in the local reservior (Manasquan Reservoir), about 5 km away. I often take walks around the shoreline, and it's not uncommon to see Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Perregrine Falcons, and Red Tailed-Hawks along the way.
  8. The first F-86A non-production models had curved windscreens, but evidently, they weren't up to the task. The A-5 (and 6, and 7) variants had reinforced, V-shaped windscreens. The F-86D (Sabre-dog) introduced the flat windscreen.
  9. The first couple of films that I remember him in was "Fail Safe" (1964) and 1965's "In Harm's Way". A short time later, he played astronaut Tony Nelson in the sitcom "I dream of Genie". He was also a Korean war veteran. RIP, Larry.
  10. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
  11. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the real-world handling traits of the F-86 (and its close sibling, the FJ-Fury), watch these two videos. I tried to simulate the performance as closely as I could. There are a few new surprises in store for the next round of Sabre releases.
  12. ECM pods do work in this series. They simply reduce the range at which a SAM radar can acquire and track you. Once you're acquired though, it's usually too late, as you're close enough for the SAM radar to overcome any jamming . The effect is called "burn through".
  13. Sorry, it's just not feasable in this series, unless the developer adds the neccessary coding.
  14. Those are supposedly the correct color for that weapon. In truth, though, the majority of Soviet-Bloc allies used Pink-red tracers on12.7 mm and larger caliber weapons.
  15. The only way for that to work, is to create separate emitters for the left and right wingtips. Then , you need to adjust the left to have a positive emission velocity rate, and the right to have a negative rate. This will (if you balance rate and particle weight) cause them to "curve" inwards. This is the value set that you need to play with: EmissionVelocity=X.0,Y.0,Z.0
  16. It's how pitch/roll/yaw dampening works for the AI in this series. If you set it too high (as some do to compensate for issues in the FM), that's what you get.
  17. It's usually not a good idea to use beta drivers. I recall hosing a windows 98 install that way, and all because I was seeking a few extra frames per second in Falcon 4.
  18. On which aircraft? I do not experience this at all, unless of course you are talking about the F-4, which is correctly modeled so that it rolls with rudder input, and not with the ailerons, at high angles of attack.
  19. Try adding this statement to the gear entries: DeployWithFlaps=TRUE. It's really meant for control surface entries, so I'm not guaranteeing that it'll work in this case.
  20. One diagnostic step you can take to determine if it's the Vampire model itself, is to set the various model nodes on the Vampire from their present declaration of "ShowfromCockpit=TRUE", to FALSE.
  21. Sounds as if you're not using the right .cat file, or the proper path to one.
  22. Actually, building codes in NJ are very stringent, and have been so been since the 1960s. Must of the older beach homes (pre-1960s construction) were built as summer homes , originally intended as inexpensive vacation cottages for working-class families. The fact that several "Mac-Mansions" got washed away, speaks volumes as to the height and strength of the surge. I may have some hereto unseen footage of the storm-surge sweeping through the streets of a coastal town at the height of the storm. According to the person who made the video, the first 4 feet of the surge was more in line with a tide movement, but the last 6-7 feet of it came in like a tsunami wave. Here's a link about another person's ordeal: http://www.dailyreco...ext|NJOPINION02
  23. Well, we got hit by another Nor'easter last night, 50 mph winds, sub-freezing temps, and 13 inches of snow in my town. It took my power out, yet again. I awoke to a dark, cold apartment this morning, and waited until daylight to begin digging out (I generally leave for work at 0530). Needless to say, all the local roads were an obstacle course of downed tree limbs and power lines. This was a heavy, wet snow,,,,check out the power lines in the video: DerSchnee.wmv Here's set of before and after aerial images of the New Jersey coast, superimposed over one another. Move your mouse from right to left to view the damage caused by Sandy: http://www.abc.net.au/news/specials/hurricane-sandy-before-after-photos/
