I honestly don't give a crap about someones religion or race. what I care about is their character and morals and their ability to live within societies rules.I have no problem with good people coming to live in my country and contribute. what I disagree with is my country being the sugar daddy to the worlds poor and to letting people in who's CULTURE is incompatible with ours. if you are so intolerant of our ways then you are not welcome here. you want to come here and contribute,learn the language and culture and accept our laws you are most welcome here and I would love to have you as my neighbor. immigration is a privilege not a right. no one has a right to enter someone elses nation without permission and it's bad form to complain about how your hosts are not changing to suit your expectations.

agree 100%. while we in the west hand wring and gnash teeth over the mythical rape culture here and god forbid someone not wanting to be forced to make a cake for a gay wedding the ones the left defends in the Islamic world are mutilating and murdering homosexuals,women and anyone that dares not want to be forced to follow their beliefs. tolerance is one thing but there needs to be some proportionality in the outrage and one wonders how the left in the west can scream and cry over things in our own culture but are silent when things 1000x worse are going on in the Islamic world( and starting to happen in areas of high middle eastern/north African immigration) I think we should be tolerant of differences but that tolerance needs to be both ways and while you can tolerate differences things like violence,child rape/arranged marriages and the rampant racism we see in the middle east need to be condemned and those who cling to that sort of hate need to be bared from the west. we need to be accepting those who will adapt and accept our ways not that will try to lash out when they become frustrated in our inability to change to fit their expectations.

the way I see it it's not the religion but the culture. all religions have many parts that can be used to justify anything. the issue is that while most religions have adapted to the modern world and quietly ignore the more radical texts most cultures that make up the Muslim world are culturally backwards. yes there are many westernized Muslims that are as modern as any other people but the issue is we view them as the norm when in reality they are the exception. the bulk of Muslims world wide hold views that would be considered out dated and radical in western religions. for example in the US we have the Westboro Baptist church loons who get lots of press. they are considered to be pretty much the top rung of christian loons here. the thing is there are about 50 of them. in the Muslim world there are 500-700 million Muslims who have similar views or worse. they are not radicals only in comparison to the radicals in Islam but compared to western norms they are massively homophobic, racist and condone things like genital mutilation. the subjugation of women underage marriage and are way beyond accepted western standards when it comes to rape and sexual assault. it's not the religion it is the fact that culturally these people are hundreds of years behind. they are very backwards in their mindset. I love it when i see people justifying Muslim crimes by saying things like well Christianity had the inquisition and the Crusades...well you just proved my point if the way you defend their acts is to point out things others did 800 YEARS AGO lol .Do I blame or think all Muslims are violent or terrorist? not at all and i don't blame their religion per se what I blame is their lack of ability to accept modern western norms. Islam when practiced by modern westernized people is no worse than any other but when closed minded culturally stunted people are preached to by people with ulterior motives that's where the trouble starts. The main thing that pisses me off is the total lack of some to condemn peoples bad actions. i can't help but laugh at these apologists when they gleefully mock and condemn a christian for using a word they consider offensive but then turn around and have to do all sorts of mental gymnastics in order to not take a stand on a group of Muslims raping their way across Europe or driving trucks into crowds....we are always told to wait and see....and to not blame the whole....all the while they are condemning far lesser "offenses" by Jews and Christians out of the other side of their mouths. I personally am not against the immigration of people from the Muslim world to the west as long as they are willing to assimilate into our culture and follow our laws.

thank you Geezer for working on some of the most beautiful inter war aircraft.

It's a saying. it's a compliment. basically when someone does something good you say give that man a cookie. it means he did something to deserve a reward..

I always loved that Morane-Saulnier

I really would love to see some of these in First Eagles one day.

lol i did the same thing too a while back. ;) I asked Capun a while back if he could update the Aviatik lod so that the radiators could be selected. I used the usual ini trick to remove them for a smoother experience to the fuselage.I'd love to see a true SAML or other Italian 2 seater but we have so many great additions since I first posed this that I'm pretty satisfied.

excellent.

for the people he's marketing the game too sadly it is. not all but many of today's gamers are more into games like this than simulations. short attention spans and the need for action of realism. hey people can play what every they want but this will appeal to more gamers than even a sim lite like SF2 today.

I'll see what I can throw together.

does the terrain nation.ini list USMC as usable? just a guess.

another great addition. thank you .

I did it fast and dirty. obviously the armed observer is not animated but it's pretty simple to copy over the data from another aircraft. just copy over the gunner and rear seat(or what ever most matches the field of fire) gun data. then swap the machine gun stated for a rifle. I've added a dummy gun firing forward too so the aircraft can be ordered to fight air to air. it adds a tiny bit of risk when you attack a so called unarmed aircraft.A flare might be simulated by a gun with a large/bright tracer effect and a slow velocity? here is my test MSTypeLAO. it's just a hack and slash job and nothing is an original idea of mine but just some cut and paste ideas from others far smarter than me. it might give people an idea how to get their observers to fire at enemies though . this is set up for FE2 as thats all I have installed at this time. FE2 Test.rar

one can only do their best with the tools they have available. I'm sure in the end it will be glorious if not an exact replica. thank you for the work you are putting into this and the research and details you are putting into the terrain given the games limitations.

unless the gunner is made like a turret with his hips for rotation and his arms for elevation I can't seem to figure out a way. that has the limitation of being a permanent fixture of the plane but might work. i was really thinking of just a static pilot model holding a rifle in a semi-rest position for a little eye candy. maybe instead of animating the head to look side to side the pilot model could rotate in a limited way at the hips just so he looked more "alive" even though that would not allow him to actually aim his weapon. I'm not a 3d modeler so I don't know what is or is not feasible though

beautiful work as always. now I have a suggestion. not a request but just something to keep in the back of your mind. would it be possible to make a "pilot" figure that is holding a rifle or pistol? some of the unarmed aircraft i will add an invisible "flexible gun" that has the stats of a rifle to simulate an observer armed with a rifle. It's certainly not any sort of priority but might be fun to see the guy in back holding a gun.

I saw the thread title on the front page and my heart sank until I read your post.... I'm so glad you are doing well. I was just thinking about you Monday while installing some of your P-40's .

lol

stunning work so far.

What about the Chinese L-15? there is one in the SF1 download section here. it's far from a perfect match but in my opinion a closer fit than the F-5.

lol clearly doesn't understand the situation...SMH. alternative facts is a term used to counter when others use questionable facts. just because the brain dead drones making memes don't seem to understand doesn't mean that people should believe it. when someone presents something as fact and you know it's not the case and you put forward the truth you are using an alternative to their "facts" it's not brain surgery. the only people who are confused are the terminally moronic or those who choose to intentionally misrepresent things because of their petty biases and I'm glad you are smart enough to see that it was clearly a slip of the tongue. a more dishonest person or one with a more questionable IQ might try to portray otherwise.
