Extract the HUDDATA.ini file from the FlightData.cat. Place it in your Flight folder, and then edit out Display004 which is the radar. Or just drop the attachment into your Flight folder. HUDDATA.7z

I compiled just about every sound that I had into one Sound folder and one Soundlist.INI file some time back. Attached is my present sound folder and Soundlist.ini file, you might find some stuff you like in it. I think it is only missing some sounds from my WWII install but I have this in my SF2:NA install which is the one I use for most of my testing. Sound Files.7z

Does anyone know what would be causing screenshots not to save properly? This started happening to me recently and it is interfering in gathering testing data on some projects I am working on.

WBS, the screenshots are saving to the correct place on the hard-drive, just not saving any data. As for the drive it is the newest drive on my computer and has more than 450 Gigs of free space free. I might try scandisk if nothing else works. Bruce, did it start up within the last couple of months?

streakeagle, do you have the replacment pit that fixes the shadow issue? If not try dropping everything in the attachment into your SEA terrain folder. PIT1.7z

Good job! Do I spy an Elco PT boat these pictures?

I thought this info would fit with this thread. Below is a list of each individual capability flag. You can get any capability flag available by adding capability flags together with the Windows calculator in programmer mode with Hex selected. Now there are two group of number to be added. The first is the third digit to the right of the "0x" which I have highlighted in red, "CapabilityFlags=0x10000000". This digit relates to the Sea-skimming, Terminal Pop-up, and Lofted flags. The second group is composed of the three digits that are farthest to the right as you see here highlighted in blue, "CapabilityFlags=0x10000000", these are for all other capability flags. For example if you want to add the IFF Interrogator, Seeker Slave, and All Aspect flags to a missile you would add 020+180+400=5A0 that means "CapabilityFlags=0x100005A0". Another example is this flag "CapabilityFlags=0x107006FF" which is all capability flags checked on and "All Aspect" selected. Also below the Capability Flags section I have included a list of all EO Display Flags for both bombs and missiles. //--------------------(Capability Flags)--------------------\\ None CapabilityFlags=0x10000000 Terminal Guidance CapabilityFlags=0x10000001 Target Memory CapabilityFlags=0x10000004 Mid-course Correction CapabilityFlags=0x10000002 Home on Jam CapabilityFlags=0x10000008 Optical Backup CapabilityFlags=0x10000010 IFF Inerrogator CapabilityFlags=0x10000020 Seeker Uncage CapabilityFlags=0x10000140 Seeker Slave CapabilityFlags=0x10000180 Sea-skimming CapabilityFlags=0x10100000 Terminal Pop-up CapabilityFlags=0x10200000 Lofted CapabilityFlags=0x10400000 Rear 60 Aspect CapabilityFlags=0x10000100 Rear 180 Aspect CapabilityFlags=0x10000200 All Aspect CapabilityFlags=0x10000400 >--------------------(Bomb EO Display Flags)--------------------< None + None EODisplayFlags=0 Crosshair + None EODisplayFlags=1 Four Corners + None EODisplayFlags=2 Double Lines + None EODisplayFlags=4 /-----/ None + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=256 Crosshair + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=257 Four Corners + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=258 Double Lines + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=260 /-----/ None + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=512 Crosshair + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=513 Four Corners + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=514 Double Lines + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=516 <-----(Bomb EO Display Flags with Bypass TV Filter on)-----< None + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131072 Crosshair + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131073 Four Corners + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131074 Double Lines + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131076 /-----/ None + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131328 Crosshair + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131329 Four Corners + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131330 Double Lines + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131332 /-----/ None + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131584 Crosshair + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131585 Four Corners + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131586 Double Lines + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=131588 >--------------------(Missile EO Display Flags)--------------------> None + None EODisplayFlags=65536 None + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=65792 None + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=66048 /-----/ Crosshair + None EODisplayFlags=65537 Crosshair + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=65793 Crosshair + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=66049 /-----/ Four Corners + None EODisplayFlags=65538 Four Corners + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=65794 Four Corners + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=66050 /-----/ Double Lines + None EODisplayFlags=65540 Double Lines + Ponting Cross EODisplayFlags=65796 Double Lines + Nose Index Marker EODisplayFlags=66052 >-----(Missile EO Display Flags with Bypass TV Filter on)-----< None + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196608 None + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196864 None + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=197120 /-----/ Crosshair + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196609 Crosshair + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196865 Crosshair + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=197121 /-----/ Four Corners + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196610 Four Corners + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196866 Four Corners + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=197122 /-----/ Double Lines + None + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196612 Double Lines + Ponting Cross + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=196868 Double Lines + Nose Index Marker + Bypass TV Filter EODisplayFlags=197124

I was playing around with the B-52's fuel capacity and found this data for fuel weight. I don't know how accurate it is so you might want to cross check it. Jet A is the same as JP-8 and weights 6.76 LBS/gallon Jet B is the same as JP-4 6.36 LBS/gallon JP-5 was for carrier based jet fuels (low flash for safety) and is 6.8 LBS/gallon. Using the pounds per gallon of JP-4 listed above I get the weight below. If you need avgas for WWII prop planes that is a different LBS/gallon ratio than any jet fuel. 464 x 6.36 = 2951.04 lbs The number of pounds above converted to kilograms gives me this. 1338.5692275648 kg If the numbers you entered for each fuel tank are gallons then converted to Pound and Kilograms I get the numbers below. Total Fuel Amount in Pounds = 7644.3384 Total Fuel Amount in Kilograms = 3467.413572

Came across this article. Given the concerns over Windows 10 in the flight sim community I thought people would be interested. Source link: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3046032/windows-pcs/microsoft-backtracks-on-windows-7-support-deadline.html

I would assume that she started out at McDonnell Douglas?

Wrench, if I recall correctly that R-4 will fit nicely into the Burma-Southeast Asia Terrain you are working on.

Ravenclaw_007, when you release Weapons Pack 3 you might want to set the EndYear= date for your M117A3 bomb to 2015. http://www.af.mil/News/ArticleDisplay/tabid/223/Article/607252/blast-from-the-past-last-m117-bomb-dropped-near-guam-coast.aspx

It was not just the Me262, almost all of the German twin engine heavy fighters carried air to air rockets that they fired into the bomber formations. These rockets were considered serious threat to the bombers. That threat only abated when the P-51's were unleashed from the bomber formations and allowed to hunt the interceptors as they were forming up to attack. Given the fact that the USAAF bomber force had been on the receiving end of these rocket attacks it is only natural that the USAF would take those lessons into account making its own plans to intercept heavy bombers. Geary, I did the same thing with the F-86D and K weapons fit.

I just noticed, what is the terrain sticking up in the background?

Cocas, on the pilot max file issue try asking Geezer. He recently helped out Veltro2k with some pilot and cockpit issues in the WWII WIP thread. http://combatace.com/topic/64401-ww2-wips-thread/page-13

Cool!

I don't know if anyone else here both watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer back when it was on and is a World War II buff but if you are you might find this interesting. A series called Wasp by an author who goes by the pen-name of Tanstaaflpair made up of, at present, two stories titled "Stingers" and "101st" in which Buffy gets given a new life in a parallel universe after her death at the end of season 5. It just so happens that her new life starts out in California in 1941. Yes, there are some errors so if you are nitpicking you may not enjoy the stories but given a little suspension of disbelief and they are a fun read. I don't want to spoil anything but I will say that the author did get right the fact that the P-38 has a yoke instead of a stick. What could that mean for a Slayer? Series page: Wasp by Tanstaafl First story direct link: Stingers Second story direct link: 101st I have been meaning to mention this for awhile now but was never sure how to broach the subject before now.

Have you done Ladd Reef yet? The HNLMS O 19 ran aground on it on July 8th, 1945 and its crew was rescued by the USS Cod (SS-224). Supposedly the wreak is still there though I can't see anything on google maps.

Given the topic I thought you might like this info on USN Pre-1955 carrier catapults. I dug it up while researching the Essex Class catapult fit for WhiteBoySamurai. ---------------Catapult Info--------------- F MK II (10,000 lb to 35 mph) flywheel type aboard CV-2 & CV-3 from 1920's. H MK II (7000 lbs to 70 mph in 55-ft); pre-war Yorktown class & Wasp fit (including hangar catapult). H-2-1 (11,000 lbs to 70 mph in 73-ft); CVE/CVL fit, and late 1943 fit for CV-3 & CV-6. H-4 (3,500-16,000 lbs to 90 mph in 95-ft); Essex class early fit. H-4A (16,000 lbs to 85 mph in 72.5-ft); Essex Class hangar fit, removed from May 1943 on. H-4B (18,000 lbs to 90 mph in 96-ft); Essex class later fit. H-4C (16,000 lbs to 85 mph in 72.5-ft); CVE/CVL fit late war. H-4-1 (28,000 lbs to 90 mph in 150-ft); Midway class early fit. H-5 (16,000 lbs to 90 mph in 96.7-ft); seaplane catapult, all converted to H-4. H-6 (60,000 lb to 120 mph); seaplane catapult. H-8 (15,000 lb to 120 mph or 62,500 lbs to 70 mph in 190-ft); replaced H-4B & H-4-1 in post-war Essex & Midway class modernization's. H-9 (45,000 lb to 120 mph or 100,000 lbs to 90 mph in 210-ft); for CVA-58 United States, cancelled.

FalconC45, I put together Mue's Distance Fix for you in pre-configured folders, one for use with a stock EnvironmentSystem.INI and the other for use with Stary's SARCASM 2.0. Inside the folder for each option is a folder titled "To Mods Folder". Just drop everything inside it into the mods folder you want to use it with. Once you have those files in place you need to open your Options.ini and set "ObjectsFade=FALSE". It is a requirement for Mue's adjustments to work. Mue's Distance Fix.7z Once you have tried out the settings I configured the files to use go ahead and make your own adjustments to optimize the horizon distance for your system.
