Whirlybird Wednesdays

easiest way to tell would be to hide the nodes in the LODviewer and see how it looks. if theres a big hole left in the model then not so much. if you got a few wires or things, then you have a few extra parts to ini edit off. my money would be on it being an easy ini edit however ------- enroute to Dallas -

i wish i could tell you. that missile is new enough to have alot of details kinda secret. and with the Secretary of Wine i mean War clamping down on who can talk to who, might be a minute for details that said, i didnt know the new HARM had retractable lugs. my suspicion, as a former support type soldier, is retractable. boost the orders to the company that makes em, and brings the price down buying in bulk. but thats just swag, not official info

switch, not so much. there are bunches of values tied to specific aircraft parts, which iirc might get name changed from one model to another. so straight copy paste doesnt usually work well modify, yes. especially singular aspects (takeoff speed, afterburner percentages). its done all the time as a modder decides this aircraft doesnt behave like they think it should. but again, its usually one or two FM aspects, not the whole thing modify entire thing reliably with intended results? well Harry, thems is dark arts that few here truly understand. its why many versions are kinda copy and pasted (F-16C Block 30, block 40, F-4E and G etc etc) but most people arent like me (or you it seems) and want a realistic pit (a major part of my mods is always the external appearance) its possible, but would take a lot of effort. the most advanced avionics get by default is 1970s, anything more advanced is done with workarounds -
you gotta change the years in your option.ini for the instal, in any maps you use in that install. also if you plan on flying past 2020 you often times gotta change the data ini for the aircraft (alot of modders 10-15 years ago set end dates as 2020. who knew we'd still be modding and flying SF2 past then?) but the nice thing is you can make period or region specific installs, like say Balkans 1991 thru 2002

you never saw the stewardess on v2k's IL-76 did you?

nope nice thing about SF2, it supports almost all airborne kinks

welcome to CA not meaning to be rude or a dick, but also thank you for being the first publicly visible trial of the new system. once your 30 days are up im sure you will enjoy it much more (hey, i know watchin aint as fun as playin) alternately, theres no limit on subscription downloads. even the 2 day $6.95 version. so you could make a list, pay the cost of a coffee or lunch, and spend the net 48 hours getting what you want w/o the wait

possible,certainly. we have an F-15SA, which preceded the QA and EX the hard part will be setting up a new pit, and adjusting the avionics for SF2. SF2 doenst like 1990s avionics much (the most advanced bit being teh 70s avionics DLL) let alone 2020s. and theres not to many modelers left to make the new almost all glass cockpit but aircraft model and flight model, it would be no problem to make one. you could do it yourself in fact -

its always been wonky. it often works better to search the topic in the wider web, and let Google send you to the page than to use the sites search engine. that said, not sure actually how its been on the new and improved site (old habits and all) -

the optimist in me hopes it works the reallist/retired NCO in me waiting to see how joe goes and screws this up as somebody once said, make it idiotproof and the world will send a better idiot. but i hope im wrong and this works -
that would be rather nice the current USAF one covers C model and later via fake pilot. not bad, but on model is always nicer

i was just curious what the new ones were, especially bumpin up to "contributor" today. you'd hafta design the only one i suggested, you being the HMFIC
