  1. Congrats and thank you for your fard work & service!
  2. 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!
  3. 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.....) :)
  4. Glad to see ya keep truckin' on despite our best attempts! Happy birthday dude!
  5. 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.
  6. From WOI (w/ Oct 08 Patch)
  7. Be sure to share them over at the pub! You've got a crowd building :)
  8. The model & cockpit look excellent. As far as the payware part goes, I don't typically fly Red Air, but if the price is right, i might :)
  9. I'm thinking it might be a vista issue since it worked fine when i had XP. ...
  10. Is anyone else experiencing trouble when trying to get screen shots & videos with this type of set up?
  11. Depends on the grading... if you score a 'shack', then I suppose you're all set!
  12. Dang, not what I thought the post was about. I was looking forward to signing up at the registrar's office and taking out another student loan......
  13. It's looking very nice so far, until it goes down in flames! J/k, I'll enjoy doing some bombing & recon runs with this as well.
  14. :) !
  15. Ok, looked there, still didn't find them, but I've got back ups. Quick additional question, is that the new 'My Documents' location?
  16. I upgraded to Vista from XP, and I'm unable to find my music folder (old location- my documents\my music, etc). I tried using the search feature, but it doesn't allow me to use *.mp3 or anything like that.. any ideas where I might find my files or how to search for them?
  17. This is irrrelevant militaristic data!!! Marine mammals only use NATURAL sonar, not man-made sonar which is completely different! J/K C!
  18. At least one navy still has some balls. I know there's a ton of legal & moral requirements out there, but in my book, proportional response is a load of BS. If I was in command of a naval vessel and one of these rubber boats was causing trouble, I wouldn't send any of my crew out on deck to man up the .50 and become targets for RPG's or small arms. Instead I'd open up with CIWS.... it's about the same caliber.....
  19. Navy 1, Hippies 0. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for preserving wildlife, but the humpbacks aren't gonna stop an Akula...
  20. This will be especially helpful for those long threads!
  21. I say we do what they did with pirates in the old days... HANG THEM ON SIGHT!
  22. Be sure to check out this tutorials as well (it's a must read) http://www.simhq.com/_air/air_055a.html
