    Also on my site I have Ground and Aerial photos of the Criminal Destruction Of the Avro Plant,home to the first Jetliner to be built and fly in North America,also home to the Flying Saucer,built for the US Airforce,750 Lancaster Bombers were built there along with the most Advanced Intercepter in the world circa 1950's. The Avro Arrow.

    There is also a link to our petition Save the Avro Plant If you feel the need Please fill it out.

    Dear EBgames.com Customer,

     

    Thanks for pre-ordering from EBgames.com! As an added benefit to ordering from us, we'll keep you informed of ship date changes. We are writing to let you know that we have changed the projected ship date for Lock On: Modern Air Combat to 9/23/03. The publisher did not provide us with a specific date so this is our best estimate only and should not be considered firm. We will update this date again as we receive new information. As always, EBgames.com will not charge your credit card until we ship your order.

     

    LMAO......... There going to get a surprise when they go to charge that on the card I supplied them with. It expired a year ago :?

    Adding the DME Utility to USAF

    There has been a lot of confusion about how to access the DME or Developer

    Mission Editor. As I understand it, this utility was never supposed to be available to

    the gamer. One of the former employees of Pixel revealed its existence on one of the

    forums. It's an overwhelming sight when it is first viewed. A few have become quite

    proficient with it. Basically it is the Admin.ini. Everything that you change in the DME

    will change the admin.ini in the Mission folder. I'm not here to offer instructions on

    how to use it, there is no manual or Help files for it. I am still struggling with it

    myself. Below I have graphically outlined the steps to gain access to it.

     

    1. Go to your Missions folder and find the UME.exe.

     

    2. Make a shortcut of it on your desktop.

    3. Right click on the new UME icon and then click on Properties.

    4. Follow the instructions below

    This is what will greet you when you first open the DME. Good Luck

    I also have missions SP9 on our site,the SP9.2 will not work for you,and I also have info on how to make a new pilot and how to change the preferences.

    Great to here that.

    My late father told me about the Arrow 40 years ago,it's been my passion ever since.

    BUT we don't seem to learn from our mistakes.

    This was left on my Avro Arrow guest book.

    Nice site and pictures. I grew up in Rexdale close to The Avro and Orenda plants and can remember when we used to drive by and see the planes. I remember Black Friday like it was yesterday, as a lot of my friends fathers lost their jobs. I worked in the old Avro plant after Douglas Aircraft took it over as a toolmaker in Bay 1,2,3, toolroom, Farnham mills and D3 on the DC9 and DC10 projects. A sad day and a great loss for the aircraft industry in Canada; all caused by political nonsense. History is now repeating itself in British Columbia with the present Liberal government (March 2003) shutting down the "Fast Cat" ferry construction, laying everybody off and auctioning everything. Like the Arrow the first 3 Fast Cats were in operation carrying vehicles and passengers for the BC Ferry Corp. when the government shut it down. Another great loss for Canada in the transportation field. I'm sure we could have been the best in the world in high speed aluminum cataraman ferries but as usual the governments in power take their orders from "up above" making sure Canadians are kept in their place. Am I bitter about all this. You bet I am. Keep up the good work, we can't forget our history

    For me it's been 40 years hearing of a Dream Denied.

    Yes it would be a good fit but i promised the designer of the Arrow I would only use it in USAF.

    Although you could contact him and ask if he would make one for you, I guess he would need the game. I have a SFP1 cd that I would be willing to part with.

    His URL http://www.mach3graphics.com/

    other URL's you might find interesting Arrow message board http://www3.sympatico.ca/mkostiuk/arrow.html

    1 of the regulars is Randall Whitcomb author of "Avro Arrow and Cold war Avaition"

    Also the Arrow store http://www.avroarrow.org/Store/itmidx1.htm

    You will find the book you were talking about on sale now!

    Ps. The Arrow landing on the water thats what happenes when there is to many objects in the game. The game code has been broken so it's being fixed in the next release Super Pro 9.2 for USAF

    That fatefull day in 1959 is repeating it's self.

    I was contacted in Jan2003 with information that Boeing the owner of the A.V.Roe has applied for demolation permits. I started a Email campain, got some help from the local towns heritage minister and the Mayor,they in turn stopped the issuing of the permits.

    We are now in the 11th hour and need help.

     

     

    Our mandate is to save all or part of the plant. It's tht birthplace of the Arrow,the first jetliner in north america and the fly saucer.

    Our plans for the site is to set up a national flight heritage museum, have the Toronto Areospace Museum move in with there soon to be complete Full Scale Avro Arrow as the showcase piece!
