Ed, my friend, this plane it's a beauty and dressing it was my pleasure. I have a deal for You: if You will decide to finish its wheels, I will make another F-102A Skinpack like this for Your plane. There are a lot of Deuce to do .........

Provo, dopo Mau, a sintetizzare il mio pensiero. Che SF sia un caso unico penso siamo tutti d'accordo. Dura da più di 10 anni e con qualche accorgimento anche i mod più vecchi (vedi lo Scimitar per esempio) possono ancora avere un qualche utilizzo pratico. La struttura modulare consente di integrare i nuovi scenari per creare una base comune impressionante. Invece di buttare via tutto ad ogni uscita si è scelta l'evoluzione della specie. Di qui SF2, la patch al mese ed i vari DLC di completamento e finanziamento della serie. Non esiste quindi nulla neppure lontanamente paragonabile in nessuna branca del panorama videoludico. Il-2 stesso ha buttato a mare tutto con l'uscita di quella fetecchia di Cliffs of Dover. Ora però la lenta e morbida (forse troppo) curva evolutiva di patch in patch è arrivata ad un punto di snodo .... atlantico. E' un passo importante perchè il Tomcat deve essere un Tomcat senza trasformare la serie in un simulatore dai mille tasti ad aereo unico e poco divertimento, ai quali SF si è sempre posto come alternativa. Se Tk non avesse voluto far evolvere il suo simulatore probabilmente si sarebbe dedicato ad altro, persino alla Korea (come ho scritto altrove: con magnifici jets e grandi cannoni) e spero non mancherà all'appuntamento. E' vero, come dice Mau, si è chiuso nel suo bunker, ha ritirato il suo ambasciatore e non ascolta (apparentemente) il suo popolo, ma posta quasi ogni giorno sapientemente sul facebook, twitter e google screenshots dei vecchi prodotti insieme a quello in uscita. Sicuramente è al corrente della posta in gioco. Potrebbe fare bingo (praticamente non esistono più concorrenti) oppure un grandissimo flop. Solo il tempo ce lo dirà, anche perchè effettivamente pare non accettare alcun contatto, neppure indiretto. E' un accentratore, ormai si sa. Comunque vedremo. Da antico modellista in senso fisico, ogni bel modello virtuale per me sarà comunque una festa .... Ma se questo continuo scorrere e fluire proprio non ci piace per fortuna ci restano ancora i titoli della prima serie, stabili, non più soggetti alle patch e col multiplayer, che girano anche sul computer della nonna (cybernetica). E' una scelta che nella vita reale non abbiamo ... e che molti per varie ragioni hanno fatto. Insomma, sintetizzando, non mi pare abbiamo troppo da lamentarci ed anche se tutto è perfettibile, come in tutte le cose, bisogna pensare in positivo e non lasciarsi andare ad inutili catastrofismi od a rimpianti di ciò che davvero è o non è stato. Che aereo facciamo, stavolta?

I sorry but no luck.

Well I tried this [ViewClass009] ViewClassName=TargetViewClass ViewType=TARGET_VIEW ViewGroupID=2 DefaultView=CockpitFront AllowFromDiffGroup=TRUE SnapView=FALSE InsideView=FALSE FocusObjectOnly=TRUE FOV=45.0 ObjectDistance=40.0 PitchControl= YawControl= RollControl= ZoomControl=CAMERA_ZOOM_CONTROL JumpToViewSameGroup=TRUE JumpToViewDiffGroup=TRUE SmoothAngleTransition=FALSE SmoothPositionTransition=FALSE SmoothFOVTransition=FALSE RememberAngle=FALSE RememberPosition=FALSE RememberFOV=FALSE LimitPitch=FALSE LimitYaw=FALSE LimitRoll=FALSE ZoomFOV=FALSE ZoomScale=0.02 PanScale=0.00140 MinSpeed=100.0 MaxSpeed=50000.0 Acceleration=10000.0 AngleRates=720.0,600.0,20.0 FOVRate=60.0 MinObjectDistance=10.0 MaxObjectDistance=100000.0 <------------------ OffsetDistance=0.0 MinFOV=15.0 MaxFOV=90000.0 <------------------------- ResetTime=2.5 But no luck! [the viewlist.ini is in flight folder .... I presume]

Fantastic flight!

Ok there I was arrived. But no luck trying to tweak some parameters, which are relevant to set initial position farter and to extend the zoomout? Thanks.

Thank You Guys. Yes I sleep sometimes too. Not much inedeed. Skinning is my relax hobby. But as I wrote somewhere I'm cleanig up my HD waiting for a new Win 7 workhorse. So You see a lot of old mods finished up now but long lasting ... ... and I'm very sorry about a great one I'll be not able to realise I fear nevermore ....

Well I think Dave is right. A Tomcat has to fly and shoot like a Tomcat. Without avionics upgrades Tk really could realise -at last- Wings over .... Korea: a lot of new amazing jets and big guns. But, as he does not like speak about it, we can only wait and hope for the rabbit comes out Tk's hat or try to make a realistic wish list and send him .... Paul [bTW I still wait for the rabbit (a pony is too big and expensive for my house and my pocket!) ]

DAVE, why You don't make a cumulative question with PFUNK <right> requests to TK with all our signatures? I'm with You and sign it in advance. How many people are in?

I think we are near now ..... do You think that the only new flyable plane will be the F-14?

2 weeks = 2 days ?!? .... my card is ready and the cat extractor, too.

New terrain or new .... sea? Which areas will cover the new scenario? Island? North cape? Greenland? It's not easy (for me) to immagine the boundaries. BTW my wish are mostly some new ships to sink! And as once TK said that was wrong having uploded too early exp.1 screens, I hope we are not so far ...

Sure ... but very soon we will be back in Sweden .....

.... they were real glory days for western civilization and whole mankind! God save old Europe and maybe the USA, too. As You know, Jon, I'm only cleaning up my HD before change my old XP workhorse and at last pass to Win7. More to come.
