Hey Florian: I have some great profiles for all of the variants including the A and B with the "chin" camera just below the nose. Lemme know if you want to have them.

Just what I needed. Those look great. Looking forward to a release. I have lots of skins in the works...

Sounds good. Post any pics? Of the plane or panel. I need a pick me up!

Hi Florian: nice plane! BTW, what is the status of the P-3?

I agree Fast. The Super Hornet seems a lot more of a logical choice. What would Princess Lucky think of this anyway? :) Still wonder what would've happened if we managed to get the F-14s from Iran... ?

ABOUT 30 Seconds ago! Great! R

Nice shots Maj: Whe I see shots like this I look at the upper edge of the wing to see low pressure zones, I look at the spread of the primary feathers, I look at the tail fan...birds are incredible creatures. That is why I love flight so much, avian and human-based. Cheers Raptorman

(Cue Vikings).

Hi folks: Been showing my wee lads videos showing fighters taking off, etc. Noticed that all vids show afterburner. I imagine the engine puts out enough thrust without the extra kick of the afterburner. Apart form a need for a quick departure when needed, is there any reason why afterburner is used when you are not heading out to intercept? Just curious Raptorman

Thanks for all of the replies folks! Nice to hear many different opinions. Rapperman

Likely a Roosevelt Elk yes. No Moose on Van Island. Sorry to hear about your not so pleasant experience here. The Island is a wonderful place otherwise. Thanks for the stories Streak!

As the topic title states. I have only seen it once or twice. LIke to know if the series has a book or not?

Is this a completely new model?

Any chance of a Canadian Tomcat? We did evaluate them when we chose the F-18...

Streak: I live just south of Nanaimo. What branch of the service were you in and when was this? Just curious...

Great shot. Pardon my igonrance, but what terrain/mod/version of SF is that? Looks fantastic! Rapts

The demo CF-18 has crashed at the Lethbridge Airshow during a practice flight. Pilot looks OK it seems... http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2010/07/23/lethbridge-crash-cf18-airshow-military-plane-alberta.html Raptorman

For those who care, U2 has postponed the NA leg of their 2010 tour...I was going to Seattle to see 'em...Get well soon Bono.

Do any of these words embarrass you? 1) Shoe 2) Megaphone 3) Grunties 4) Wankel Rotary Engine They sure embarrass me. R

Hi gents: I assume this has been covered before...However, I have recently run into to graphics anomalies on WoE (XP version). ALL GAMES (CP VERSION) ARE BEING PLAYED ON VISTA. I first started seeing problems with the sky on WoV (XP); the clouds and horizon sky has a very faint checkerboard pattern to them. SF (XP) was OK for the longest time without any similar looking graphics problems. I then began to see similar problems to the sky and some aircraft in WoE (XP). Now, SF (XP) crashes as soon as I hit the "FLY" button. Is this a simple, now I am not compatible with new drivers issue (so says all of my CP installed games?) let me know if you know what could be up...time to convert to SF Projects 2? :) Raptorman

Thanks FC - that did it! To a layman, what does the difference in 32 vs 16 bit make?

Mig et al.: here is a screenie. Note the "checkerboarding" on the aircraft and the horizon and the clouds. Unlimited setting on object and texture.... Ideas?

Hello again: Just installed 9.0c and the Directx tool still says version Directx 11. All graphics are OK except the clouds and the lower horizon still have the anomaly - a slight checker-boarding. Some new aircraft I have installed have the same checker-boarding on their skins. Any other advice. Thanks by the way!

Embarrassed here (did I spell that right). You can have both versions installed? The application will choose which one? Thanks F Cargo
