I'm afraid that you're confusing the book with the movie. Even in "Firefox Down" (Which Craig Thomas dedicated to Clint Eastwood, and which was written two years after the motion picture's release), Thomas still refers to the Firefox as having a "sharp nose cone", which puts the decripition at odds with a faceted airframe. You must also keep in mind that the only known example of a "stealth" aircraft the general public had seen up until then, was the Testor's model kit of the non-existant F-19!

In extremely dry conditions (think desert) an aircraft exceeding the Mach at low level, is said to telegraph its approach with the crackle of static electricity. Otherwise, its approach would be silent, in stark contrast to its passing!

The B940 is a dual-core processor. The current SF2 releases are really optimized for quad-core systems with discrete video cards. The SF2 series titles will run on your system, as long as you do not set all the graphics options on maximum,

Are you using the built in mission builder? It allows for 10 ships in a task force/battle group. The very first entry will be the center of the group, and the builder will automatically set the distances and offsets of whichever ships you chose to escort the "flagship". If you find that have multiple ships of the same type occupying the same coordinates, I'd say that you were using the original release of SF2NA, which had that bug when creating battle groups.

The Firefox in the novels was not stealthy due to it's shape, but rather due to either a device, or a coating (Craig Thomas never went into detail in either Firefox novel). The device/coating became ineffective once Gant submer......errrrrr.....I'm not going to spoil it for you....read both novels!

Did this one for a friend at another site. This is the bird he actually flew in 1976. And, before I forget, Thanks Wrench!

I'd say that you're missing the necessary sound file for the bird in question.

OK.......

Uploaded...Enjoy! The detail on this model is awesome. The SA-N-3 models by Krizis are also masterpieces in their own right.

View File Kresta II Version 1.0 Kresta II Class Cruiser by Julhelm This model represents the Soviet Project 1134A Kresta II class anti-submarine cruiser, which served with the Soviet and Russian Fleets from the late 1960s into the early 1990s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kresta_II_class_cruiser This model was designed and optimized for SF2:NA, and that means Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. At the very least it requires the latest SF2 series patch for its systems and DX10 visual effects to work properly. To install this package, simply place the folders located inside the .ZIP archive into the mod folder of whichever SF2 title you desire the ship to appear in. Additional work will be required on your part to ensure that the ship's TEWS RWR symbol (TopSail) is added to the RWR list of any aircraft so equipped. Instructions on how to do this, can be found on the SF2 knowledge base, courtesy of EricJ: http://combatace.com/topic/44441-making-a-custom-tga-for-tews-radar-warning-recievers/ The SA-N-3 model that’s included, is a high-poly version, that will replace the default Third Wire version. It does not adversely effect frame rates, and will work well on the SF2:NA Kiev model, as well. The supplied sound effects will require editing of the soundlist.ini file in order to work. I’ve included a modified soundlist.ini file, for those who do not have it extracted. Warning: Be careful if you already have an existing custom soundlist.ini file, as it will be overwritten. In that case, simply add the following lines (shown below), taking care to follow the existing numbering sequence (the soundlist.ini will reside in your flight folder). Use the supplied soundlist.ini as a guide.

This will be rectified in a later release, when the developer manages to catch a break from his busy schedule.

Image showing off tweaked textures....the SA-N-3 missile model is by Krizis.

I've recieved the OK from Julhelm to release his Kresta II guided missile cruiser....it'll be available for download later this evening! Just finishing up the Hull numbers (matching them to the respective vessel names) while Julhelm tweaks the textures.

Done

Uploaded and ready for action...

View File CVN Ulyanovsk CVN Ulyanovsk by Julhelm This model represents the Soviet Project 1143.7 CVN Ulyanovsk, as it probably would have appeared had the project had been carried through to completion. I won't go into the actual history of the ship, as it's just as easy for anyone so inclined to perform an online search and dig up all the relevant details on the vessel. This model was designed and optimized for SF2:NA, and that means Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. At the very least it requires the latest SF2 series patch for its systems and DX10 visual effects to work properly. To install this package, simply place the folders located inside the .RAR archive into the mod folder of whichever SF2 title you desire the ship to appear in. Additional work may be required on your part to ensure that the ship's TEWS RWR symbol (SkyWatch) is added to the RWR list of any aircraft so equipped. Instructions on how to do this, can be found on the SF2 knowledge base, courtesy of EricJ: http://combatace.com/topic/44441-making-a-custom-tga-for-tews-radar-warning-recievers/ Sound effects will also require editing of the soundlist.ini file in order to work.

They also do not have a defined booster stage in their model file, so don't expect booster separation. Also, the actual SA-N-11 is guided by an optical tracking system in real life. Again, this is not supported by the series, so they were given high counter-measure rejection and probability of intercept values, to compensate. 2) As of the present date (October 7 2012) Third Wire does not support a PROPER VLS system on a vessel that's also equipped with mutiple SAM types, on slewable mounts. To put it simply, one can have a working VLS system and nothing else, or one can have working Kashtans. I chose the latter option, though the nodes and missiles are supplied if this situation were to change in the future. 3) Third Wire has not made provisions for a working "ski-jump", so virtual bow catapults are used instead, and aircraft thus launched will appear to fly through the bow ramp.

Running in SF2:NA under the July 2012 patch:

There's an updated version of the Ulyanovsk that will be out soon. Unfortunately, Julhelm, the developer, no longer has time on his hands to correct the few areas on the model that needed attention (the vessel's name for example, in spelled out in Roman, as opposed to Cyrillic characters).

The F-86s in the Korea WIP work just fine, their lead-computing sights are spot on, even at high deflection angles.

LCOS is dead on....if the target never maneuvers, that is. I just leave the sight in LCOS or A2A mode, and employ seat of the pants deflection.

What he meant was that the symbols are standard, Third Wire shapes, so it's using the F-15 radar (except that it's in color: Read Here: http://www.thirdwire.com/man/sf2/Strike_Fighters_2.htm#Using the Radar on F-15A
