  1. Anyone else here a fan of this series? I've really gotten into it, myself. The formula is quite simple, every week they purchase a different special interest vehicle as cheaply as possible, then they perform whatever work is necessary in order to resell (or "flip") the vehicle at a profit. On a recent episode, they "flipped" a 1970 Dodge Charger. Having owned a 1969 Charger R/T 440, myself I found that episode compelling. The episode is broken into four parts on youtube, this is part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tbxjCrIvV8
  2. As Stary said, it's mostly your systems's inability to run DX10 that's limiting you. SF2 is optimized for DX10, which means (ideally) Windows 7, and a DX10-capable video card (which your card supports, BTW). Running SF2 with the latest patches outside of a DX10 environment will deny you two things: 1) Multithreading optimizations 2) DX10 shaders (which result in superior graphics, and place less of a load on system resources)
  3. I've been working on a water shader for the series, that improves on the effect at low level, by laying down bump maps every 20 meters or so: The only issue, is that at this level of detail, any mismatch between adjacent bump maps is immediately noticeable.
  4. That's not a ricochet. Those are the sparks from the "ground bullet hit effect". Notice that they don't match the tracers.
  5. In order to take off from a carrier, you'll need to create a scripted mission for it. The default random-mission creator will not recognize it as a usuable "airfield". This also applies to the SF2 series.
  6. Sorry, only one pitch axis per ship, so it can have ASMs, or SAMs, but not both, unless you can live with the ASMs using the SAM pitch axis.
  7. The afterburner effect for the specific aircraft. Check which one it uses in the aircraft's data.ini, and then look for it in your effects folder. Be aware that the afterburner effects for the default TW planeset are part of the particlesystem.ini.
  8. They could always load up a dump truck with crushed clunkers, and then try dropping that mess from high altitude
  9. On June 24, 2009, The President signed into law the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS, commonly known as 'Cash-For-Clunkers'), one of several stimulus programs whose purpose was to shift expenditures by households, businesses, and governments from future periods when the economy is likely to be stronger, to the present when the economy has an abundance of unemployed resources that can be put to work at low net economic cost. At least, that's what they wanted us to believe..... The real reason behind the Cash for clunkers program has finally been revealed.....it was all a cover for a secret weapons acquisition program! $4500 per weapon, a true bargain. Clunker on the waaaaay.... Take that, gomers! Night ops, reportedly with with laser seeker attachment:
  10. The word's out now, after an accounting by the Libyans, that Ghaddafi was the richest man in the world, with something on the order of 200 BILLION dollars at his disposal.
  11. It can only be one, or the other, and never both. It's either an air to air missile, or an air to ground missile. AG missiles generally use electro-optical (laser and TV), anti-radiation, radio-controlled, (etc.) guidance. AA missiles use infrared, beam-riding, semi-active radar homing, and active radar homing guidance.
  12. And then you'd lose the airbrakes.
  13. It wont work, as sounds must be associated to specific coded events. And only the developer (ThirdWire) can add those coded events.

    Its started!

  16. It's limited by the dates set under the singlemission entry, in options.ini file. That file resides in your mod folder(s). For example, editing the start and end year lines to match the following dates will cover everything from WW2 and onto the near future: StartYear=1939 EndYear=2020 For more infomation, I suggest that you read through the SF2 knowledge base.
  17. The results of a run-in with a leaping deer at highway speeds, in a 5000 lb (two plus tonne) SUV: http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/durango.asp
  18. No thanks...I'd rather let the factory do it.....
