colmack, I have an idea on how it might be simulated using an AA rocket with a sub-munition warhead. Let me test it and get back to you.

Mirage F.1 F-5A USS Zimwalt DD-21/DDX

WBS, if you need someone to test the overhauled Kirov's data files I am available.

I was editing a ship data file the other day to give it Aspide in place of SeaSparrow when I noticed that all three versions of the Aspide missile from MGunny's Ordnance Shop II have identical booster and sustainer data. Given that Aspide-Albatros is supposed to be the naval SAM version of Aspide I can understand that but according to what I have read the Aspide 2000 has a new more powerful rocket motor giving it extended range. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to point me in the direction of a source for accurate data on them or provide a newer data file for these missiles?

I don't have OFF but I do have a TrackIR 5. I would be willing to help troubleshoot the issue with you. Could you give some more information on your system. Is the TrackIR software up to date and have you updated your TrackIR games list? Also does OFF use a TrackIR DLL file? If so you might want to check that the file is okay.

Great find MigBuster. There are a number of pictures their that I have never seen before. Some of the development concepts have me wishing for some more what if aircraft in SF2. Also I did not realize that they actually proposed equipping the Eagle with the AIM-54.

The "B-47E_DATA.ini" file in the primary download is corrupt. The one in the Mirror is okay.

I have started playing around with Gmax and I think I am starting to get the hang of its basic features. One issue I have however is a visual effect whenever I click on anything in one of the windows. Here I have created a cube and everything looks fine. Whenever I initiate any action inside any of the view windows they flash ether black or white and depending upon the action preformed the windows might stay that color until I use the mouse to initiate another action in the program. I can drag or rotate an object just fine for example but every time I start an action "flash". I also sometimes get distorted image copies of the Gmax program popping up when an action is initiated instead of just the blank windows. Same on and off behavior as above. Does anyone have any idea as to what is causing this and how to fix it? It is interfering in my attempts to learn the program. My system is an i7 920 with 12GB of RAM and a GTX 760 displaying with 1920x1200 24 inch monitor.

Thanks for the info on gmax, although now I have to figure out how to use a new piece of software. That is what I like about sketchup, the low learning curve, it is the closest thing I have yet found to my grandfather's drafting paper. As for the polygon count, I took a look at some of the WWII ships and I see what you are getting at. I was trying to be to close to the photographs that I have. I think I am going to start a new low poly 1.1 model for in game use.

I am working on my first scratch built 3D modeling project. A Quad 1.1 Inch anti-aircraft gun. I am doing the primary construction in Google SketchUp and then I am going to import it into Blender to give it pivots, and assign it materials. I would eventually like to get it setup in such a condition that it can be imported into MAX and make it available to the CA community. I would appreciate any advice members have to offer on improving upon this project and my own skills. Edit: Fixed a miss spelled word.

Did you read the "Product License" and the "Standard Royalty Free License FAQ"? I think Erik or one of the Staff member like Dave would have to review it and check it against the CombatAce rules first. Standard Royalty Free License FAQ Link A quote of the License itself below.

I wanted to go to that but some issues came up this weekend and I forgot about it.

Where is that Lexington from? I would not mind seeing a version of that model updated to represent USS Saratoga, CV-3 in her post January 1944 configuration with 16 5inch/38's in four two gun and eight single mount, 23 quad 40mm and 2 twin 40mm mounts, and 16 20mm Oerlikon's.

Maybe they should have called them "through-deck cruisers" instead.

I just ran the numbers and if everyone with 100 post or more were to simply take a bag lunch instead of stopping for fast food just once and put the saved money toward a simple Choice Member subscription it would earn CombatAce $4635.65. I think that if everyone who regularly uses CombatAce were to donate or buy a subscription at least once a year it would help out tremendously with maintenance and upgrades. I will admit that I have only purchased subscriptions twice due to, at first a lack of awareness of the option, and after that to limited funds, however having run the math I am sure that I will be subscribing again. Erik, thank you for a the work that you have done and are doing.

I don't have much money to spend right now but I had to purchase another subscription to show my support.

I was wondering what the criteria is to cause an aircraft to completely denigrate in one hit? I have seen it happen, for example one time I blew up a MiG-17 with a 30mm cannon shot right up its tailpipe. However I have been trying to get a SAM to do the same thing without success so far. I would like to be able to do it so that missile gunners on ships will stop wasting missiles on the falling fuselages of an already hit aircraft and switch to unengaged targets. Any help would be appreciated.

Glad to hear that you have everything working.

I don't have any torpedo bombers in any of my installs at the moment but from experience with other aircraft not using their weapon the first thing I would do is check the aircraft loadout.ini, the weapons station entry in the aircraft data.ini and the US aerial torpedoes, the Mk13 I think, in the weapons folder, and make sure all of weapon names, StationID, StationGroupID, AllowedWeaponClass, and AttachmentType, match in all files. Also open up the data file for both the USN and IJN Torpedo bombers and compere the AI data entries. Best to eliminate the simplest possibilities first, all it takes is for one letter to be off and the USN torpedo bombers don't have any torpedoes.

Great set of pictures! Makes me wish the Downloads section of up so I could get the aircraft I don't have to play with.

I was wondering if anyone had Dog model that I could insert as a static ground object at Korat RTAB in SF2:Vietnam? http://www.frontiernet.net/~freitag/Korat/roscoe.htm

I saw a documentary on Lady Be Good a number of years ago. It is one of those stories in history that makes me shake my head over the event chain that lead to tragedy.

I heard of this idea being talked about a number of years back as a way to avoid having to expend ordinance like the Hellfire and Maverick on small or low value targets.

It reminds me of the F4D-1 Skyray in layout. If it comes out I will be downloading.

Gunrunner, thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
