ok so got SF2 loaded in my new rig, and loving it! never knew FPS could be in the double digits couple questions though... -have a ripple in the terrian(both stock and Starys latest GermanyCE upgrade) with white flicker across tiles. too fast to catch on screenie. -also have a wierd shadow effect that flickers across aircraft for half sec at a time. for those old enough to remember, think the video for "Take on Me" from back in the 80s. -finally, new to Win7, how do i get to my F_ keys?!?!?!? (F5, F6 etc) specs are.... -750GB 5400 rpm HD -8GB DDR3 memory -1GB ATI Radeon 7470M graphics card -Intel i5-2450M 2.5 GHz (boost to 3.1) -Windows 7 Home 64 bit. appreciate any advice you can give.

AJS 37 not from the other site. excellent... just started rereading Intl. AirPower Review article on said aircraft as well, from a year or two before their retirement. ya got a two seater in there? good for the jamming version which was the last flown, aside from heritage flights now.

and then a step to the ri-i-i-i-ght....

either your showing your age again or are suggesting we do the time warp til release. just not sure which.

why not d/l Gimp to make your hangar and loading screens? it will change the format easily for loading screens (if you want to change from say bitmap to jpeg) and with some practice can make the hangar screens. have not done it myself but more due to working skins and esp. tga's rather than hangar screen. i know photos can be played with as i often lift markings off of photos for decals. and finally its free! as for Paint the most i did with it before getting Gimp is resize bitmaps for my older comp. so not sure if you could but defineatly reccomend getting Gimp instead.

so are we listening for white christmas to play constantly when it comes out or just Dave yelling OMG!OMG!OMG! ? btw can get to the entry from link here but no joy when navigating within the TW site.

yep. look at his mods, Stary has pirated mother nature!

will we get a youtube review of that as well? jk

also a quick reference is the paintjob, most Mud Hens are gunship gray allover while D air superiority Eagles are lighter Mod Eagle paintjob.

esp important to clean weekly for those of us that deploy to other lovely countries. last tour here had some sort of bug(the six legged kind) die in the fan and jam it til i cleeaned it on sunday. i had wondered why it was heating up so much that fri and sat!

appreciate it guys. and Slarti, it aint here yet. still has to brave the APO mail system but it is on its way...

when i know the meshnames is what i do boss. then load and check, cuss, readjust. wash rinse and repeat until good.

SF2 and windows 7 64 bit? my new computer just got to the house in the states, should be to me in scenic snowy afghanistan next month. specs on my new HP as ordered -750GB 5400 rpm HD -8GB DDR3 memory -1GB ATI Radeon graphics card(forget the speeds at the moment, doing this at work offa my memory) -Intel dual-core processor(again dont remember specifics but believe 2.5GHz with boost to 3.1, better than my current 1.8) -and as mentioned, Windows 7 Home 64 bit. before i get it and get happy transferring mods over as i asked what do i need to know going from Vista to Windows? also for the last few years my old Compaq with everything stock has struggled with mods like NF4+ and the Vietnam A+G expansion pack. do you guys think this new rig will be able to handle such mods and SF2NA? TIA for your input

1. there are no dumb questions only dumb people. 2. only banned? no nukes?

its what i'm planning if i can get it right at release. yeah i'm a wuss and wanna see how the more experience folks do with it before merging. but with time budget and location i think it'll be out a couple of weeks before i can get it.

Dale Brown eat yer heart out

ok so who here is not working on Navy birds currently? (yea im guilty too. trying to change the stock skins for A-7E and A-6A to TPS this afternoon. pics and and your critiques on monday)

yea but at that size right now the Terminators can only bite our ankles.

because we have more fun speculating here than actually doing our RL work

told you not to make a david copperfield pilot but would ya listen.....

Phantoms could still be included unless it kicks off in 86. last atlantic squadrons (VF-74 and another dont recall this second) switched to Toms in 83, Midway last sailed with hers in Pacicific around 84-85, and VF202 made the last Phantom trap in 86. whos to say a transitioning squadron didnt get orders to deploy at the last second the way VA-72 did in A-7E's for Gulf 90-91? thats to say nothing of the VMFA's that were still flying the Double Ugly throught the 80's.

ok. working Navy Phantoms right for LANTFLT, but toying with doing stock A-7 and A-6 when i'm done before PACFLT Phantoms. would focus 75-88 on that, based on stock TW airframes if no one else is looking to do it. hopefully the A-6E skin wont be too diff from the A and easy to mod now, add later.

if its not in game already then it think Sundowners will be one of the first squadrons skinned. however most LANTFLT and PACFLT squadrons seem to be represented in the new squadronlist, including VF-1, 2, and VX-4.

Dave, are you or anyone else working more detailed skins for the TW A-7 and A-6? or are you focusing more on Hornets, and other third party jets for the CVWs?
