Rambler 1-1

well, I was rather excited to see that one of my all-time favorite planes was modded for the TW series, and I was extatic to see that it was Julhelm who put it together. I downloaded with joyus anticipation, but then I found that the aircraft would not bank. I had a hunch that it had something to do with "The Patch", and I was right. I'm running SFP1, so I can't get the sept '08 patch, so the integrated elevators/alerons ("elevons") only controll their primary input, in this case, pitch. Then I saw that there are two elevons on each wing, and I'm thinking that maybe I can modify the contol inputs so that the outer elevons contol roll and the inner ones control pitch. I'm sure I can figure this one out, but I want to be sure that the roll rate (and possibly pitch rate) stay the same. Anybody happen to know the roll rate for the Skyray?

False. They were Spiderman. The person below me has overshot an AN-12 at least once.

Oh, I thought that you maxed out the postmeter, and it just went back to all zeroes like an odometer. Somebody give dave his 10,000 post tune-up! NOT IT!

beer kills off the slowest brain cells first, and since a brain can only operate as fast as it's slowest cells, beer makes you smarter. So there.

it's not a bad idea if you think about it. The 'Winders would be out of the way, but I can see the tanks causing some stability problems.

Couldn't find a real sunset, so I made one.

How do you deal with them? 500 pounder down the throat?

True. They ring too much. The person below me keeps a picture of the F-35 under their pillow.

I still have a LEGO P-40 and a strange twin-boom, twin-engine attack plane that started out as a water bomber a couple of years ago. And so what if you just take off the wheels and pretend that the gear is up? That's the way I've always done it... Also, since when is the F-15 "Infamous"?

waitaminute... it's probably been tried, but wouldn't this mean that you'd be able to map thrust vectoring to the pitch axis of the joystick while it still controlls pitch? or did I just read this wrong? All you'd have to do is make pitch controll and thrust vector controll both the joystick Y axis? I'd try it, but i really haven't the time.

I've been responsible for many MiG crashes while in bombers... With the A-10 (or any other slow aircraft) I like to fly as low as possible and when they dive down on you, do a quick S-turn... they'll either auger in or overshoot and try again untill they run outa gas.

okay, I already had the decal level at 2, and I'm using the number decals and the numbers.lst file from the F-4E, and the numbers still don't change. I'll try russo's method, see if I can get it to work that way. EDIT: YES! IT WORKS! turns out that it wasn't the decal level that was at 2, it was the "DecalMaxLOD", whatever the heck that does. Anyway, it works now, and even better, it looks good! Thanks for the help, maybe I'll put this in the KB when I have some time.

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to give each individual plane in a squadron it's own serial number on the tail, like the stock planes have. I've positioned the decals, and they fit fine, but I can't get them to change at all, no matter what number plane I pick in the loadout screen. There's nothing on this in this the KB, and the numbers would be the finishing touch on a skin I am modifying. Any input is appreciated!

reminds me of a Seinfeld episode...

I finally came out victorious in my ongoing battle against the godamnammobunker! After countless missions involving everything from direct hits with 250 pounders to really near misses with 3000 and 4000 pounders, I found the best formula by accident. 6 Mk 82 500 pounders pickled off all at once at nearly 500 knots at a 45 degree dive angle. yeah, shove that in your ammo dump and smoke it!

I remember re-enacting many scenes from Area-88 with the old F-8 and skin, the F-14A and skin, and a bunch of other aircraft in a huge squadron all with skins. Great fun. It seems that Shin's F-8 was also partially based on the A-7, judging by the loadout and stores. Very nice work with all that, Crimson. Truly worthy of setting everything to "easy" and blasting MiGs like flies. That reminds me, I have an Area-88 campaign for SFP1 based heavily on the stock burning sands. It's pretty much just Burning Sands with a mercenary squadron of F-8s added in, but my friend has been happily blasting MiGs for some time now with it.

ah yes, my socially challanged flight lead has been "singing" praise for this show for the last week. The title is kinda dumb sounding, but apparently it's a good show.Makes me wish I had cable! :angry2: EDIT: Or internet fast enough to play youtube videos.

I was wondering what that stood for.

now that, my friend, looks real. REALLY real. Really.

MiG-17 gunned down by a B-57... what a way to go. I'll bet he didn't bother ejecting for fear of public ridicule. It actually wasn't that hard. Just firewall it and wait untill he's pretty colse, then pull a fast S-turn on the horizontal. He overshoots after the second turn and then tries to climb away, and you should have enough speed to get behind him and put those 4 Mk. 39 cannon to work.

dangit, I was looking foreward to that. Oh well. I'll just drown my sorrows with the F-101.

that's what they want you to think... they actually have secret invisible planes in there. They hang them from the ceiling so you don't walk in to them.

perhaps it was from a freighter or an oil tanker, you show-off. I'm guessing that those bombs didn't drop themselves.

Don't stop him! He's on a roll! Who knows what he might do next!? REALLY nice job on both -35's. Definetly top notch. Maybe we should start leaving offerings at your door...

OOH! OOH! OOH! RELEASE! RELEASE! PLEASE! The -N is my second favorite, (next to the S), and this model looks top-notch!
