Can''t comment on those programs. I use Norton Backup and Restore which is the home version of Ghost. It kicks ass for $50.

Are you at Norfolk, Sag?

Mirage Factory. Two weeks.

Oh yeah, its great when people give props. I don't want to sound ungrateful. I just mean that the props shouldn't be the raison d'etre.

Woah, there is a fetish you find weird?

Public recognition is never a good reason to do anything. That just makes you a politician and we know what that means.

Lighten up Francis.

Just now becoming obsesive? Methinks you ahve nto known USAFBLTDAN for very long!

In my opinion, if someone sees a problem and can provide documentation in the form of phots or quotes from an authoritative source to back it up, they should always post that, or at least PM someone on the mod team about it. The problem arises when someone posts nebulous comments about, for example, flight models not "feeling" right when they have never flown an airplane before. The secret is that most of us have never flown a real plane, and even fewer have flown an F-4, or F-14 or any other military aircraft, so we do our best to approximate things and its no help whatsoever to receive a lot of purely subjective feedback on it.

True, but you don't have to have max to make a model for SF. All of Flying Toaster's models for example are done in Blender and then exported to max, where bpao does the final work on them before they are released. I agree though that the weakest link in TKs plan to create the ultimate open sim is that his exporter is only available for one of the most expensive 3D programs out there.

Turn that frown upside down, Flanker!

As a corollary, the quality of a person's work does indicate some things about them. If a person accepts crap in one facet of their life, what about the others? Just something to think about.

This is complete speculation, but I would lay money on more significant enhancements appearing in the next jet game after WOI.

I think this is always going to be a problem. There will always be people mroe interested in nitpicking than enjoying the game. My personal rule is that any work I do for the game is designed to make ME happy. If other people download it and enjoy it then that is a positive secondary benefit, but I'm not doing it for anyone else's approval or acceptance. If it makes me happy, its right.

Gawd, read the comments under that video. Egyptian "scientists" have apparantly made great modifications to the MiG-21.

Imposter.

Chances are you will be able to download it directly from ThirdWire.

jeff, could you upload the raw images somewhere...those would make great desktops! Oh and welcome home!

Those digital schemes seem to be very effective at breaking up the airplanes' outlines. I would not have thunk it.

No one here is exhibiting an angry tone. He just needs to be more specific.

I agree Sony. Let't just tell the team to ditch this project entirely. I mean we can't release it to Mirage Factory standards if there is some dispute over Sparrows. Perhaps we can get Digital-Overload to arbitrate this. He did get the mahogany canopy rail in the F-5 correct, after all, when everyone else said it could not (should not?) be done.

You need to be more specific about what you think is wrong. The cockpit pictures you posted are not correct for early F-15s and F-16s.

The center tank and 4 Sparrows was the most common configuration for Navy Phantoms, where the wing tanks are rarely seen.

As far as I can tell, 2 was the most common loadout when carried at all, but I think the aircraft retained the capability to carry Sparrows on all four stations.

Uranus?
