If you are curious, click on the tiny 'exclamation mark' on the top right hand corner of the advertisement. For example here are some of the advertisements I am seeing at the top and bottom of the this page...

You should be redirected to something like this:

https://adssettings.google.com/whythisad

In my case, Google would have me believe that the above ads are a function of:

• Information in your Google Account
• The information on the website that you were viewing
• Google’s estimation of languages that you may know based on your activity, such as your searches, while you were signed in to your Google Account
• Websites that you've visited
• Google's estimation of your gender, according to your activity while you were signed in to Google

Happy exploring and tweaking - you actually have more control than you might believe.

When dealing with my boy or the missus, I prefer to take the full diclosure and total candour approach (so much easier on the explanation front)  - there's way too much information available out there to even attempt to filter or distill stuff. However, I do appreciate this may not work for everyone - try a separate profile for your kids if you do not manage to get satifactory results from any changes you make to your advertisement preferences. If you browse something NSFW, going incognito is also an option (this also has its limitations) if you dont want ad's showing up at inopportune moments.

Cheers!

I'll believe this story when I actually see J-10s in  PAF hands. This announcement, much like the stories about them buying J-11s, has been made about 30 times since the mid-2000s by a variety of 'news' sites-- usually dodgy Pak sources like defence.pk. Just going by the sheer number of these announcements, Pakistan would currently have about 2000 J-10s in service already. Personally, I'd take this announcement with a grain of salt...

...the size of Gibraltar.

Salty much?! 

None of ours

So much furore over someone's creative interpretation of what the MiG-31 or R-37's capabilities are. I can only imagine that if Foxhound and Raptor drivers got together for drinks, they'd be like, 'Guys, guys, check this shite out...'

Quote

I'm hoping to be able to fly the MiG-31 and not be able to target the F-22 or F-117, so I'm grasping at straws.

Take a look at the [DetectSystem] values under the MiG-31's data.ini and dumb it down. If you like driving the Foxhound (I for one do not) you may want to fiddle around with the [RadarData] values in the avionics.ini as well.  

And it turns out the wrong GPU was being referenced (I wonder how that changed!). Anyway fixed through the Nvidia control panel - in hindsight if only I had been more thorough with my investigation I would have been saved the trouble of a re-install!

Thanks, even my hunch is that Nvidia is acting bitchy - I think its time for my annual reinstall. 

I've been playing a host of FPS games lately so something must have gotten porked. Anyway backed up overnight. Now to reinstall 250GB in between work. Sorry for the false alarm - wasnt making sense why the crashes were suddenly happening. 

Yep - I figure its an issue at my end. This is now happening on all my installs regardless of aircraft type. Ugh.

Is there a less system intense version available? Somehow getting crashes at 40 -70% loading on larger more detailed terrains (but not so on your Novalogic inspired terrains). This issue is peculiar only to the new F-22A. Resizing the skins has not helped.

A Moment of Introspection

'I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas! Gas! Gas'

Cats on the Roof Tops...

And we're off!

'The empty world, from which the last cry
Flapped hugely, hopelessly away
Into the blindness and dumbness and deafness of the gulf'

Wench, thy name is Exhilaration!

I noticed that on a mission 910129 OP-4 Defense, F-15E, aims at a friendly target, Staging Base November, which is currently under attack by Iraqi forces. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khafji#Beginning_of_Iraqi_offensive:_29_January

As mentioned by Menrva, it is a defensive CAS mission. Historically also, there were a number of fratricides and Al-Khafji was an indicator of casualty trends in ODS.

However, I have never seen AI friendly fire incidents except for for errant wingmen trying to ram me when forming up or a stray IR missile - this is new!

Would more modern fast movers fair any better? Those Hunters were no match!

Or you could edit the entries in the Soundlist.ini, e.g.

MaxDist=1500.000000
MinDist=400.000000

Try this in your .data file:

MaxAIQuality=Ace
AileronDeltaRoll=1.2
AileronRollRate=-2.5
ElevatorDeltaPitch=1.0
ElevatorPitchRate=-0.1

i dont mine if people ask for a mod , but everybody could help me by getting me the info / pictures i need to make this mods  , please keep in mind that i´m very busy right now with other mods and the real life

 

But of course, sir - much obliged if the fancy does come upon you. Tried my hand at striping only to realize my talents are quite wanting.

I would think the 27 ad 73 are more a matter of slapping stripes on existing models:

And the R-27,73 and 77 while we are asking

enemies cannot launch from friendly airfields, and vice versa. the game is divided into the red and blue sides. you'd have to start on 2 different airfields, and fly towards an "engagement zone".

On some maps e.g. SWUS, if you switch sides after designating the airfield, you can. Done it for Aggressor squadrons flying out of Nellis runways - great for parallel take-off screenies.

Try this terrain and with the mission editor you should be able to place custom objects.

I think the ThirdWire sim is fantastic - recently upgraded to SF2.  But one thing I've been curious about for years:  the MiG-23's turning ability in both SF1 and SF2.

I like to think I've read a lot about mil aviation, especially Cold War era aircraft.  The Flogger didn't have a great reputation.  See "Red Eagles" by Davies, among other works.  Fast, very fast.  But a twitchy bird with poor handling in many flight regimes.  I'm lucky enough to have a friend who flew F-4's in the 70's and 80's, and flew against MiG's at various Red Flag exercises.  I've spoken to him about it, and he's said it was a early attempt at a BVR  fighter; a hit and run slashing bird, not a turning knife fight machine.   But in both SF1 and 2, it's there, turning like a pro.  Not really complaining as I like the knife fight, but I'm curious since so much effort was made for realism.  Any comments from the brain trust would be appreciated.

Thanks
