Spectre_USA

All the beta teams I have been on have been invite only. But you can't blame the guy for tryin'!

Ya got any USAF versions of that Gramps? (Yes, it was a joke) ;) Another example of yesteryear yumminess...

Beauties! All new levels of depth and suspension of disbelief. The team definately has talent!

A modern jet sim that slipped under my radar? Must be stealthy! :D Am downloading, may have to take a peek tomorrow morning before work. Slick site, for sure...

I'm not big on the squid stuff, ;) , but I am really diggin' this A-5b. Darned beautiful model, and hella fun to drive through the sky! The version I have doesn't even have a readme.txt, so I don't know who to thank. It is an excellent bombing platform...

That would be an "E" model F-15. It has 2 seats and superior strike capability. Gramps and crew are toiling away to get it to us, and I can't wait. If they were to create an add-on jet or two to Lock On, a MudHen would be high on my list! B)

I dunno man, that might be pushin' it a bit. But once they get the Mudhen up and airworthy, the shoe will be on the other foot! :D

I, for some reason, have been pining for a little prop action in anticipation of the Western Add-on upcoming for FB. WW2F might just fit the bill. Remember that CD I brought down to your job that one day, MJ, ol' buddy, ol' pal? :)

I've been doing a lot of single missions with all the cool new add-on jets, and the good old F-4, and have noticed a new thing in Patch 2. I have been shot down, according to my new pilot record, 4 times! Never have punched out. I discovered it when I only had 2, and then had a Phantom mission where I got shot up pretty good, but made it back home. The fourth was when I flew into the area of a .50 cal, and a single hit was recorded in the debrief. They're gonna right off the whole airframe for a dented panel?

The loss was mine, but only noted in the pilot record. The debrief didn't even say that a jet was lost/damaged, as it usually does when that event occurs. Something is toting up a loss in the pilot record, but whatever is passing that parameter is lost on me...

Well, I just discovered, by looking at my pilot record, that I lost a 5th airframe. I wish I had looked at the debrief log, as I had no idea I was even hit. No AAA got me, nor did and A-to-A. I did get screenies of us egressing the area, and see no holing anywhere. The only thing that came close was my own Mk. 84 2000-lb'er that I laid down on a bunker at about 400 ft. Engine hit? There was no smoking...

Now THIS project looks very promising! Is it Spring yet? ;)

I don't know if the creator wanders by here, but I really like the Isreali campaign I just found earlier today. It was from a link I cannot currently get to on SimHQ. It fires up, and runs some really kick butt missions, but as soon as I exit it, and it tries to go to the debrief screen, PUNT, crash to desktop, I tried it 3 different times, same each. All three were very cool missions, 1st 2 were successful, the last was purposefully a fail by going gunzo at a AAA site. It didn't make a difference. I checked the directories, none are read-only. Is there something generic that would cause this type of thing to happen? ___Edit___ Great. I cannot edit the topic title. "Staus" looks pretty retarded, eh?

Just don't tell him it was from me, I pestered him enough during the beta. ;) I actually just got another single hit from a ZPU-2, but did NOT get it recorded as a shoot down. On neither case did I see a pockmark on the jet, so don't know where it was hit either time. I only saw the green tracers, and the listing in the debrief. Still think that if it's chewed up, but landed, loss of airframe should not be given...

Are those modeled on your ships Beers? Damned nice start, I must say...

I can't edit, so here's an inadvertant bump. I did find 0.5, right here... On Biohaz old style.

Is the F-5 0.6 still available anywhere? I don't see a link anywhere on Digital Overload's site. Nor is it on the D/L area here at BioHaz. I could go rummage on SimHQ, but prefer not to...

I wish you had been on the beta team for Lock On, ShadowCat. It would have been another voice of reason for the holding off of it's demo. Needless to say, I agree with your statement whole-heartedly...

Hey Mod and/or admin type guys. Can the smilie pack on the left be de-tuned for the holiday season? Or are you getting a head start for next year? :D

Yes it is. If you are using the in-game keymapping software. I don't use the Saitek thingmie, but a clear out of all defaults, then assignment of your own should do well, as it did for me. I forget the name of the snaps vs. scrolls, but a bit of trial and error got mine where I wanted them...

Looks like you got right on it! Thanks MadJeff! I did like those smilies, too bad they aren't the same ones without the hats... No pleasing some people, eh? ;)

Wow. What a moving post. Added my tiny bit. And hope my help on this project was of some small contribution to Robin's enjoyment. Really. Wow...

I usually stick with what the skinmakers plug in, they haven't steered me wrong yet. :D The brushed aluminum and all metals look good with a higher gloss, whereas the camos seem to look better with a lower value...

A punt from the depths! :D As has been recently stated, I have re-acquainted myself with this sim recently, after SP2, and have been digging on the work by you fine folks whilst I was gone. So I picked up this VERY well done Sea Harrier by Monty CZ, but I have a problem. I like to start on the runway with every jet, but in so doing with this one, my wingman nor anyone behind will take off. He rolls onto the active and stops with his nosewheel turned toward centerline. Responds to radio messages, but won't budge. I didn't see anything in the readme, am I the only one? Like I said, damned nice jet, it would just be nice to have some help with these strike missions from wingmen...

Lookin' good! Way to go ArmourDave...
