congrats on surviving SERE. I've had a few friends go through that, and they all agreed that it SUCKED. But it's worthwhile training.

again to piggy back on this, is it possible to manually set different flap settings w/o using the blowback command? I guess what I'm really asking is are we limited to two/three flap positions because of the game code, or is it something that we've just assumed?

It kind of reminds of the 'Blue Angels' sim I have for the C64. Not too bad for being done by one person!

<S!>

looks like it's a mod of the 'SuperS' model (can't recall what it was designated, don't have the book out)

Very nice work! Which references are you using? I'd love to offer what limited time (and skill) i've got!

I'll see if I can scan in parts of the flight manual that I have.... Hope it'll help!

I wonder if Hoser had any experience with this. You might want to ask him over at the F-14 Association. Good Find!

What site is it on?

FC, I'd like to work with this too (time provided). It's been one of my ideas for more indepth MP.

Approved. BTW, I was the first (thought I had approved it before I dl'd it)

My friend (the Hawg driver) would love that one!

that site does not contain payware, though membership is required.

I don't think the folks down the road (Autodesk) would like that... But $150 is a LOT better than $3500 (assuming it's legal).

Didja check the TW site? or the downloads section?

I bought the book versions in the past months, always good to have an e-copy though. Good find! And if you get really bored, or have trouble sleeping, read this: http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air...ons/ATpubs/AIM/

Not bust your butt, but it should read 18,500 POUNDS of fuel, not gallons. 18,500 gallons would equal about 124,000 pounds of just fuel which is significantly greater than it's 60,000 Max TO weight Also, I found this pic, which might help (courtesey of JSF.mil &Wikipedia):

Congrats and thank you for your fard work & service!

I know Mythbusters tested that, dont' remember what the outcome was. And I see that Zur has been reading 'Uncle John's Bathroom Reader' as well!

Nothing wrong with the Thud-ski. It's just another step in the long line of original soviet thinking (Tu-4, Tu-144, Su-25.....) :)

Glad to see ya keep truckin' on despite our best attempts! Happy birthday dude!

When dealing with military a/c, several types of fuels have been used throughout the years, and each has it's own density. Depending on how in-depth you want to be with your a/c or drop tanks, here are the service years, branches, and densities for jet fuels: JP-4 Density = 6.5 lb/gal (1951 - 1995, Primarily used by the USAF) JP-5 Density = 6.8 lb/gal (1952 - Present; projected to 2025, Primarily used by the USN, and other navies) JP-7 Density = 6.6 lb/gal (used by the SR-71) JP-8 Density = 6.7 lb/gal (1996 - Present, Primarily used by the USAF) Jet-A Density = 6.70 lb/gal (used by civil turbines) Example: 1x F-111 External 600gal Tank holds 3900lbs [600 x 6.5 = 3900] of JP-5 (I'm using JP5 since that's what was in service at that time). Now, to insert the fuel weight into the game, it must be converted from pounds to kilograms: 3900 (lbs.) x.45 = 1755 (kgs). Once you've converted the weight, insert it into the 'Capacity' box in the 'Fuel Tank Data' section in the weapons editor.
