  1. LoadLimit=2100 Tried to increase it to 4 and 5 thousand to no avail. However, 1 and 3 M-117 under the center point and are there when game loads...but six-pack is a nay.
  2. DBW, HSFX, UP3, these are the main mods for legendary IL-2. What are the differences between them, and basically which one is the best?

    The idea that poor uninsured folks in the States and their entitlments are responsible for galloping US debt is nonsense just like the idea that poor people who took loans for homes and later couldn't keep paying are responsible for current economic crisis. USA is spending 20% of it's budget on military, that is one fifth of everything that is taxed and borrowed. That is what is driving Washington into bankruptcy. No country in the world can sustain that kind of percentage being spent on military and keep economy in tact. USA has reached the USSR's percentage of military expenditure in 80's. And we all know to well how that turned out. If US would cut it's military budget by half everybody in the country would have free and one of the best healthcare in the universe.

    What you in US need is more production. Your gvmnts allowed production to be shifted overseas through NAFTA, GATT, and WTO loosing millions of jobs and essential industrial base. You need to go back to economic policies that served you well up until 60's and especially in the 19 ct. when there was a economic boom in US lasting for decades, where every immigrant from all over the world flocked to US. US is the home of the worlds greatest but forgotten tradition of economics, the American system o economics. Opposite to monetarist mythology, the Ameican system never had anything to do with free trade or free markets, even less with Rockefeller funded, erroneous Chicago school of economics which is basically the failed Austrian school of economics of von Hayek. The tradition of American system is one of protectionism, mercantilism and dirigism. Your contemporary monetarists and financiers pretend that that history doesn't exist.

    Problem of US is the following; in this year gvmnt. projected expenditure in 3.8$ trillion, while total gvmnt. revenue (through taxation etc.) is 2.9$ trillion. That leaves 900$ billion to be borrowed , mostly through gvmnt's IOU (gvmnt. issued long and short term bonds) that are bought by central banks of dollar surplus countries (such as Germany, China, Japan, S. Korea...) in order to safely invest/store their countries export earned dollars. The interest that US gvmnt. must pay annually on it's debt (to holders of US treasury bond) rates between 300 and 500$ billion a year depending on interest rates. US could lower it's 900$B deficit by cutting down gvmnt. spending and raising taxes. It is the solution that is argued by IMF and similar predatory lending institutions on indebted european, lat. american and african countries (From Argentina to Greece). These drakonian solutions (and in US they would be drakonian 'cause of the size of the debt) destroy middle classes, cause riots, colossal unemployment, national economic and moral depression, lower marriage and birth rates, suicides etc. because gvmnt. that performs austerity alway does it to the poor and middle class, never to the countries real money holders (private bankers, financial speculators, monopolists etc.) Second solution for US is to refuse to pay anymore, i.e. declaring that it cancels all foreign debts (or majority of it). It has been done by Mexico, Argentina, Bulgaria, all together some 30 countries in the world have declared cancellation or debt moratorium at some point. They were faced with harsh political and trading measures by unfortunately US gvmnt. among others. Not to mention subversion and attempts of governmental change. Luckily, nobody could do that to US. But this solution would undoubtedly bring about an end of the dollar as a world reserve currency, because rich exporting countries wouldn't hold their earnings in dollars anymore, but in something else (euro, yen, gold and then the possibility of borowing for US ends), or as some sound economists and yours truly advocate, would invest those earnings into their own countries, which would see the rise of prosperous middle classes in China, and rest of Asia, where for now their central banks are buying US IOU's instead, financing US deficit so that US can buy their products again. Sweatshop workers in Asia have no real benefit from such policies of their central banks. They should be enjoying products they made. What is also a version of second solution, is that US inflates it's way out of the debt, i.e. that it always prints the amounts that are due to be payed. US is not doing that so far, but it is the most likely scenario considering US political elite. It is politicaly more popular than to impose austerity on your constituencies This would of course cause huge inflation, and possibly hyperinflation, which would not only harm the US lenders and any dollar holder ('cause the value of their wealth denominated in dollars would go out the window), but it would also hurt the rest of the world (and especially poor countries), high $ inflation or hyperinflation would cause the prices of oil to skyrocket and cause economic and transportation collapse in many countries, even deaths. All that because energy (oil and gas), that is bought on world markets is charged in US dollar. Of course what ever path the US gvmnt. choose, US population will suffer. I don't see them proposing anything different than this solutions. Mainstream left wants to expand social entitlements and continue borrowing, choosing scenario 2, Right wingers, conservatives, libertarians want to go on the path that causes scenario 1. (Ron/Rand Paul would cut food stamps by 2/3, and abolish supplementary diet for pregnant mothers, which I can only describe as loonacy) As one US observer sumed it : cut deficit and we'll be Greece continue with it and well be Zimbabve Now, there is a solution to this economic depression and debt crisis. I advocate it for my country as well: Make your central bank finance the economic recovery. FED must be nationalised and become a part of US treasury department. Then, FED should issue a new, open ended credit line for anybody in US who produces commodities, or wants to do so. That includes manufacturing of any kind of hard commodities, infrastructure modernization, mining, farming, scientific research, building of new modern nuclear reactors to replace old ones and to give higher power capability for population and future economic growth. This new credit should be given only to those who want to produce, nothing to banks to relend it to the economy, this would be direct gvmnt,. lending to industrial sector and private entrepreneurships (includin all kinds of bussines, big or small that provide even basic societies needs). Federal states, cities and municipalities would issue their bond that would be bought by FED and private investors (but US citizens only), and would mature in 25, 50 or 100 years, depending on the type of investment it's for (for a new railway or waterway it must obviously be longer). Money would be used to rebuild highway system and roads, and to buil modern maglev rail throughout the country proping up industrialization, research, and building industrial and engineering base for the future. The interest on FED's credit would be in range of 0 to 0.5 percent. If FED can buy m.b. securities, structured investment vehicles, and other toxic and derivative monstrosities in range of 85$ billion a month to prop up private banks with whom it has in cahoots caused the greatest economic crisis in recent history, then it must be redirected to finance industrial production, and infrastructure modernization which in turn creates millions of jobs. There must also be big changes in laws regarding banking and economy. Derivatives (this cancer that is the trademark of depression) must be outlawed and deleted. Giant zombie banks in US (zombie because they are dead broke but keep walking with taxpayers money) must be liquidated and their derivatives and debt sheets deleted. Fat cats in JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup should eat their own losses. No taxpayers or FED money for them. Glass Steagl law should also be reinstituted to prevent economic bubbles through speculation of the few banking oligopoles. If somebody is concerned with inflation this type of economic recovery would cause, answer is that once you get economic progress the discrepancy between volume of economy and volume of money would be lowered so inflation would be pulled back. By the way inflation wouldn't be any higher than now, 'cause FED is printing more dollars out of thin air constantly, it is just beeing chanellised into wrong activities. Like in Croatia, we have high inflation already. Not because we print Kuna but because Kuna is in fixed position to Euro that causes inflation throgh printing. So we should better strat printing our own money and put it into economic recovery and production. In this case money shouldn't be seen as something given and fixed, but rather as a tool to get things started. My ideas aren't anything new. They are in good part a US New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt that ended the depression of 20's and 30's and made US the biggest industrial power in the world that eventually crushed the greatest evils of 20 century; Nazi Germany and Japan, then started conquering space and bringing great technologies to the world.

    Me neither. One more thing that I don't understand is what is the point of debt ceiling at all, when it will be raised when the debt reaches the ceiling again. It's a scam anyway, they should just abolish the debt ceiling all together cause everybody knows that they will borrow ad infinitum. By the way, Obama has doubled the US national debt since he came to office!!! Meaning in fact , that he indebted the US as all other presidents before him combined. Gotta hand it to him and his handlers from Wall Street. What a legacy! Possibly the worst president of USA in financial term ever.

  19. First of all, thanks for the sept. update Eric. Secondly, I understand that trees have been removed from A-G exp. mod 'cause of the problems between them and clouds (if I got it right). Is there a way for me to bring back the trees in the mod. I wanna see if maybe I could live with those bugs. I know the trees are in the original Green Hell mod but would like detailed instructions if possible. Thanks.
  20. This is one of the sources for many Falcon 4 BMS manuals: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2326304/Operational-Brevity-Words There are many more real life manuals, protocols and procedures for F-16 and general NATO air operations in Falcon 4 BMS (communications also) so maybe you should also try your luck on that communities site: http://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/content.php
