DEW line? Elephant Cage? Stationed there? Can you get pictures? This stuff, as you know, is highly relevant to DBS-2.0... :yes: Meaning of "HF DF" = ?

I think we will find that the Navy is going to be all wet on this one...

WOW! SF has a real estate developer!

What is this circular installation on the the NW corner of Elmendorf AFB? (Yes, Elmendorf, disregard the Eielson tags...)

For that, I can wait... Very nice work indeed!

CA_Stary, what do say? Do you have these imported into SF yet? I would like to place these into a map...

Viggen, if you can make those buildings, I will place them in a city... Send them over.

We also need the "flat" style 150 and 215 gallon drop tanks for the P-47... I'll post pics later...

Very long flights are still a reality. The map is 1242 miles square... Long range flights from Anchorage to the farthest western target will still range about 1000 miles... I dare you to not use Alt-N...

OK, "B" it is...

Available sytem memory for most people would be taxed to the Nth degree with 1024 tiles... I'm not sure the things will even run with an HFD file of 122mb...

Well, if one set up the terrain for 1000-->250 then the standard 256 pixel tile would only cover ONE km insterad of TWO, effectively doubling the terrain tile resolution also ... Plus, height data points would be every 250 meters instead of the current 500 meter height resolution... Distance flown is the same regardless of map scale; it is still a 2000km wide map... I am leaning more towards "B" since I can squeeze in more places for targets. It is positioned on both so that I can place Anchorage in the correct place and be able to model the base there... This means the eastern edge is fixed... Going off-scale means I can include at least part of Kamchatka and the entire Bering Sea, from Diomede Islands to the entire Aleutian Island chain... Karaga Island off the east coast of the Kamchatka pennisula will be a great place for a Soviet naval base, as are a couple of other locations... I want this to be a target rich environment for both sides. This is why new objects will be critical.

Here are two versions of DBS:2. Both maps are 2000km square. The first map is close to 1:1 scale. The second is "normal" SF scale. Map B allows a wider range of target areas. Map A is more accurate. Both maps would require very long range flights. Please select one choice, A or B... Just looking for opinions. Map A: Map B:

Buy YAP? My goal is to build and release something new, not to buy something already built...

There, 75 minutes later, one made to order nuke plant... HOLY SMOKES!

This isn't that hard, the SF world needs to be populated with stuff... If you have 3D skills and tools, then just make something for the ground... The SF community and I will thank you... :yes:

Yes, I have access to Polak's library... Great stuff from him... He did the majority of radar and comm objects on the DBS map...

How about some useful ground objects? Not as glamorous as new planes to be sure, but stuff on the ground goes a long way towards better overall realism.... How about a Soviet nuclear power facility? or a Soviet Ice Breaker? (link to webpage, not a picture) http://www.msco.ru/cgi-bin/common.cgi?lang...&fn=cont4_4 or Soviet B200 Yo Yo radar? Perhaps new docks of large size to simulate a full size naval installation? Or perhaps bombing the Comm Building is as exciting as you can stand? If you need a project, I have ideas and a place to use your work. Any takers? (Recent volunteer is much appreciated... thanks!)

Julhelm, very nice work. Ever considered building something to fly over, instead of something to fly in?

Huh... We haven't seen Chatty Bobby in some hours... Probably cowering in a tire bunker in panicked fear from a ten year old girl scout with a slingshot... Look out! There she is!!!

How lame... You, Bobby, are TWO nominees behind schedule, a schedule which YOU promised... Vain promises, smoke and mirrors... Your heart is full only of deception and laziness; certainly courage does not reside there... How apathetic is your contempt... You despise us all but cannot get around to actually telling us... Go back to your scruffy, flea bitten sheep... I laugh at your "honors"

Welcome home! Thank you for your service to our Country. S!

Hey, Michigan has great summers! (and sometimes they happen on a weekend...)

Well, I'll let this webpage tell the story... "The Service Flag is an official banner authorized by the Department of Defense for display by families who have members serving in the Armed Forces during any period of war or hostilities the United States may be engaged in for the duration of such hostilities." The rest is here: http://www.usflag.org/history/serviceflag.html

I am not so sure that USAFMTL was the only person exposed to noxious fumes from toxic chemicals...
