I can host it (as can BioHaz). Got the upper deck handrails to go, and I need to poly down the weapons. Unwrapping and putting the skin on one map I will need help with, then the final skin. Cheer Beer

Fast Eagle 12 years in the Navy! Maybe our paths crossed as I to was an Naval Aviator. Which AI class where you in? What commands have you been attached to? What was the source of your commission? What did you get out as? I did not retire I took the VSI/SSB a few years back. 12 year retirement? 15 was the least I was aware of and that was mostly for the E's in overmanned NEC's. The only thing I can think of for a 12 year retirement is a Medical Discharge with disability and that of course is not "retirement". Your comment "I am a Retarded...I mean Retired Sailor" also indicates that you don't seem to be proud of your accomplishment (as most would be). I recall your post from the carrier this Winter/Spring, I find it odd that someone could surf the web and make posts from a Combatant engaged in tactical warfare. That would be a Comm O's nitemare, not to mention the security issues. Email likely send a designated times but unhithered internet access from a ship at war? I have internet on my ship and I have unhindered access, but we are not combatants engaged in tactical operations. Just curious...some of this seems a little outta wack. Things sure seemed to have changed since I got out. Cheers Beer

Getting there :) Cheers Beer

Handrails, a US flag, and final skinning, and its off to capun for tweaking :) Cheers Beer

The Phalanax is WAY to detailed, 4000 polys ma thingys!, The dome should be toned down too, the barrels maybe 5 sided cylinders (maybe even 3 as small as they are). The axis's for the guns and missiles set up? I tried rotating some of the stuff and it was bad! Anyway here is what I got so far. Cheers Beer

Lotta tweaks to be done... Need to make a good main mast add the Captains gig add the booms on the bow add the helodeck observation bubble line things up mo better :) Cheers Beer

OK started the new model :), this is scratch built. Hopefully have a prototype to capun for weapons Sunday-Monday. This is work in progress. Cheers Beer

I found a top and profile view for the FFG, they are not that good but they are usable...also have all kinds of picture of the Phalanax if your gonna model one of those :). Hope to have something for ya end of weekend Cheers Beer

http://www.abacuspub.com/catalog/s511.htm I ordered it online, I believe I have seen the Previous version at Software Etc. Yes it has an S-3! Cheers Beer

LOL Chief! The NavAir one from Seawolf would make a good Combat Aircrew Patch! Looking foward to the Flight Deck 3 showing up this week for some traps with FS2004. Cheers Beer

No the carrier will not be functional, TK has replied that it requires coding that is not currently in SFP-1. He is of course working on the Patch (enough people have verified this, please do not turn the thread into a where's the patch thread), it seems to be slow going so I would not count on landable carriers with SFP-1 :( Maybe one day SFP-2 will be in work under a new Publisher and feature Naval Aviation :D With the A-7 out I hope to tweak the Forrestal a bit, and get the FFG-7 done with Capun. The closest I think I can come is a PHM, a FFG and the Forrestal formation steaming and practicing visual approaches. My Naval Aviation Fixes for just flying around will be Chiefs recommendation of Flight Deck 3 (its on the way). When I wanna blow things up I will use the A-7, F-4 and A-4 from AD/column5 and the stock SFP-1 planes. Cheers Beer

Under 5000' water depth(for drilling so far), the ship is rated to drill in 10,000' we will be just over that with some special equipment added to the ship. The deepest I have worked is 13,440' when I was a Dynamic Positioning Officer and we did wreck investigation on the M/V Derbyshire (the Derbyshire is a feature on the history channel :)). We had an ROV that photographed the wreckage. The special on the history channel was filmed on the visits after we did the initial find and investigation. I dont drive the sub or anything I just keep the ship on station. CHeers Beer

I may be able to host a teamspeak server for Bio, and I am interested in a Fun fly for MSFS 2004. I will be availible after 6 Nov or so. Cheers Beer

LOL that was shot on a competitors rig, it was a Global Semisubmersible (don't know which one), we are rated to drill to 35,000'. We have not gone 35,000' yet but we have done one to 5 miles and another at 6 miles of drill depth (that does include water depth). Cheers Beer

Today we are moving my Drillship to a new Location off Texas, look for my ship to make some drilling news as we break the world record for water depth as Ultra Deep Water drilling breaks the 10,000' mark, with our partners ChevronTexaco. The previous record is held by our sister ship the Discoverer Spirit 9700' and some change. We are gonna show the Spirit that "Penetration is our business", and we do it "faster, deeper and with more thrust" (T shirt slogan I was trying to get approved, but it was declined for some reason???). Cheers Beer

I have two 2.7 AMD machines sitting side by side... One has a GF FX 5600 256 in it the other has a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. Side by side in a multiplayer game (Nascar 2003, Quake 3, or Strike Fighters) the Radeon 9800 Pro looks better without a doubt. But they both look really great, and the Radeon was if I remember right about $100+ (clock speed faster) more. But I think you would be happy with either, just a budget issue. Cheers Beer

Well we are shifting from our S-76's and our new well location off of Texas has us flying in Bell 214's. Anyone work on these puppy's? I was partial to the S-76's, and was hoping for the S-61. Here's a pic of one of Chevrons S-76's on deck The HLO in the pic is our Bosn, his name is Love Carter (no kidding!) Cheers Beer

Pilot.bmp must go in the /objects/aircraft/ directory It is the odd one out, generally the extracted files go in the same directory that the cat was extracted from. Cheers Beer

I will give it another go when I get home early November...what patches/mods do I need to be able to play online? And what services do I need (Hyperlobby, Gamespy?, JCN is no more I believe). Cheers Beer

Welcome! Been noticing Todd has been very busy! Looking forward to reading about what going on at Check Six from MrFrench! Cheers Beer

Well guys I feel like a software developer but I am sad to report that there is another delay in the completion of the video, I aquired another prop and intended to shoot the classic good vs evil gunfight with paintball guns and my 10 year old nephew (in lieu of the Gary Coleman Joe C fist fight), but I had technical difficulties with the gun (the 9V battery provided was weak, it was dark by the time I figured that out; also we had the wrong color paintballs (need Blood Red obviously). There will be at least a six week delay. I did get some good footage driving around in the Vette though! My humblest apologies... Oh I hired some clown as a producer his name is Uncle Kracker Cheers Beer

Just researched the gun and its the 76 MM, same as the PHM. In theory just export the Gun from the PHM and place that in place of it. Of course this is the gun that dont work in game... Got some good photo's of FFG's I may start over, could not find any three views, just a side view. Want to make the latticework for the mast (was not solid as current model), liferafts on bridgewing, add rescue boat and davits, add handrails, forecastle area needs work (deck fwd was not raised up). Cheers Beer

I have on one of my pages, its down on the bottom just above the skins how too. http://www.retrorelics.net/jim/sfp1_how_to.htm Cheers Beer
