Question: Cold War fighters: Internal Jammers
Lexx_Luthor replied to GalmOne's topic in Military and General Aviation
bus:: :drinks: :drinks: LOVE IT. I've always been trying to share the importance of contrails in the sky battlefield, even for dogfight planes. Nobody "sees" it, except you saw it. Thanks man!!! -
An interesting weapons system for the 106
Lexx_Luthor replied to macelena's topic in Military and General Aviation
What is that lol? So, what happened, or didn't happen? For those who can't find it, the pic is under the arms->cannon section here ~> http://www.f-106deltadart.com/weapons_20mm_cannon.htm -
9/11 First Responders Not Invited to 9/11 10th Anniversary
Lexx_Luthor replied to Slartibartfast's topic in The Pub
Yeap, a big "ceremony" is face time for the larger fish. You'd think they could at least invite the responders who worked the scene 10 years ago. Maybe they will dunno. "...there isn’t enough room for the tens of thousands of firefighters, police and other rescue workers." -
Question: Cold War fighters: Internal Jammers
Lexx_Luthor replied to GalmOne's topic in Military and General Aviation
F-16 good for export too. Outside of Pakistan in the Soviet Afghan war, I never learned much of -16s export life. Joe Baugher's website apparently covers every country that used it. ~> http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_fighters/f16.html scroll down, yea its a lot hehe -
Daffy said back in the spring that AlQuada(sp?) was fighting with the rebels. Turned out he was right. I wonder what else is going on in this racket. Weird: Two of the most effective sworn enemies of AlQuada's(sp?) are now conveniently gone: Saddam in Iraq, and now Daffy in Libya. NightWatch For the Night of 28 August 2011:: And we thought Terrain Editor() was frustrating lol.

Interesting Faust thanks. I got Alfred Price's The History of U. S. Electronic Warfare, Vol. 2: The Renaissance Years, 1946 to 1964 , focusing on SAC vs PVO, but with other things like that moon reflection project. Amazing stuff. Anyways, the early boxes were built, or conceptualized, to fit into B-50s B-47s and larger planes, and the AF called out for, and Industry tried to build, nightmare complex systems .... kinda reminds me of the B-36 auto gunner stations (except the tail gun) that never got worked out. If there were a shooting war, a long one, with crew losses like 8th AAF in 1943, I tend to think lots of this stuff would have been worked out, faster, and with less complexity....but with more emergency funding of course. I read a book once, maybe about astronauts or something, I don't recall. But, fighter test pilots hated flying electronic warfare tests until about 1965, after which EW testing became the hot career move, or something like that. When names start getting erased off the board, things start getting done. RAF Bomber Command wrote way too many names off their night bomber crews, so they got that electronic war thing figured out -- big time. I'm working a SF strategic campaign, over the pole thing, and this a hot war possibly dragging for two decades covering all the "nifty" classic airplanes yet in a tragic and Haldeman~esque story of loss, I assume a corresponding real EW situation would have developed wildly different than what happened in the real thing cold war -- like RAF and Luftwaffe did, develop effective, useful, responses quickly (along with some duds of course). -
Yes and No. At least the oil companies field some cool tech, Ausssum hardware, products that are useful to Man, and some names to remember. Oil = Exploring inside the Planet, for good or bad. Bank and bank puppet governments field only paper promises that, long after the fraud is complete, always is revealed to be used toilet paper. Bank Debt system = Drilling the Planet into debt and debt financed Forever War, for bad or bad.

To help guess, we can try to agree on some details ... diameter, height, composition, etc... Starting from first principle, its a museam, so what would a museam have? It doesn't seem that large. To scale this, Amof mentioned the roof on the right. The wall on the left is interesting. I'll guess ( ) its wooden, vertical 4x6 so horizontal 2x10, ah guessing? The four arrows; assume one arrow is washed out in sun glare. I guess its metal. Steel or alum? Or titanium if Soviet sub? But its seems small. I almost thought shuttle external tank, but this may be too small, and not sharp or pointy enough at the nose. Any ideas? ======================================== EDIT :: museam ... museum Think of that as a Spelling Mod.

lolz For the Night of 9 August 2011:: This is a fascinating quick read on the two navies.

I don't think Libya makes a whole lot of oil, although its good oil. But Daffy does, or did, have an independent central bank not in the BIS system (Bank of International Settlements). Does Syria have a central bank in the BIS? streak:: If AlQueda (sp?) was our ally on the ground in this one, who knows? Forever War is always weird -- a "racket" -- General Butler called it. Read Haldeman's novel -- it develops a creepy weird UN future, but not this creepy.

Troubles with windows 7 ultimate
Lexx_Luthor replied to themaverick626's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
You may need to buy the game. Go here ~> http://www.thirdwire.com/ Install from CD. Install fresh from the download nowadays. Don't "borrow" CDs out next time, especially not to "family" lolz. -
Jug:: The mainstream media or "MSM" played along, or so I guess. But then, it makes sense to be silent before nabbing the man. That's what I mean by not blaming MSM. Even our MiC was silent about BinLaden for some years, president BushBama and spokessouls included, in their role as (theoretical) head of the MiC. If there is one thing we can blame MSM for, its their not being "commercial" as in a free market, or *some* of the MSM players would be gaining viewers instead of EVERY one of them losing viewers to teh internets, or to alternative news. Each of the MSM players cover the same identical things, yet they are supposed to be in competition? Think about that for a minute. I'm going to guess, if some in the MSM wanted commercial success, they would cover banking fraud, SEC .gov financial fraud, MiC fraud that Eisenhower tried -- and failed -- to warn American men and women about, the central bank monetary debasement behind rising prices, the municipal financial collapse, Foreclosure / Mortgage Fraud, etc... That last one is Karl's sub-forum by that name. Czech it out. Lots of ex military and airline pilots over there.

Yea, I've read the Swedes did the Falcon right, improving it. Dave says electronics. I never really found anything on this. I find Gums's take interesting over at teh f16... Gums, page 2:: Same with -9b. We've created a deceptive legend from Vietnam that says 9b is "bad" but Formosan F-86 crews used their Sidewinders at high altitude where it completely changed the air war up there. And that was way back in 1958. Word search for Turkey-Shoot in Tom's article. The only thing I would add to Tom's conclusion mentioning missile vs fighter manueverability in "rare air" is that I suppose IR seekers perform better in thin and cold air way up high, and encounter less significant natural decoys (except the sun would be stronger). Tom:: But, very, very few today who play games know what high altitude is, and most notably, none of the combat flight TheSims developers know. Perhaps, someday. And thanks to Migbuster for alerting me to teh f16 forum.

OMG I missed this. Thanks Jug and UK! Jug:: Emphasis added. Jedi, I'm thinking that the first thing a strong society does is protect the freedom, independence, and liberty of innocent souls. It sounds simple, but its very hard to do.

Fmk6 Lightning
Lexx_Luthor replied to shadow1249's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Oddly, I like the auto method...or I just got used to it. SF 2008 introduced a reversal in the animation ini code. The deploy and retract lines -- just swap the numbers and it works properly again. Even oddly-er I went to fire up my BUFF Lightning and it crashes the game, either player or AI only. It worked the last time I used it, but that was some time ago. I did just build a new box, so that may be it in some way. That would be weird though. Re~downloaded BUFF's Lightning and it works stock. I'll have to see if I suffered another corrupt data issue. Corruption of data is something I've been worried about over the new generations of large hard drives (say 100GB and up). A "simple" backup plan can't help this, cos you just backup the bad stuff. So recently I've been leaving my old backups alone, not backing up anything more to them. -
Can't blame the media. Even the MiC -- Military industrial Complex -- seemed to go silent about BinLaden for a few years, when we were encouraged to assume OBL was killed early in some Afghan War cave bombing. Who knows, that silence may have been a ploy to get OBL to relax a bit and get sloppy and then dead.

Fighting in the F-102
Lexx_Luthor replied to Viggen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Spill:: F-4 yes indeed. Maybe not so for birds given Falcons at the factory. MiGB:: 101 too. Gums flew Voodoos and poasts at f-16 that Falcons were easy to use in birds mated to it from the start. Gums appears on both pages here ~> http://www.f-16.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=11321&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=71ca9c00a031beb6686d492f08e437a0 Gums: page 2 As always thanks MiG for pointing that f-16 site out for me. -
KMD editor...?
Lexx_Luthor replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mission & Campaign Building Discussion
...terminate in an unusual way. I've seen that once, long ago in The SF-1. Something was missing from my SF, I'm thinking my Pilots folder...it has pics for campaigns I guess -- never played a campaign so I don't know what this folder is for. ANYWAYS I had "cleaned up" my SF, deleting some basic game folders that I know I'll never use. Well I deleted the Pilots folder, and either the game, or I think, KMD didn't like it. I got the exact same Terminator message. So browse around see if you or Patch changed something. Maybe something as simple as adding a folder that was used in earlier SF, but taken out the game in recent a Patch. If you can find something missing that KMD wants, fake it, and try to put it back. -
Back Up Your Stuff!
Lexx_Luthor replied to Caesar's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I lost my hard drive on my old computer a few days ago, just when I was starting to get a new build up and running. But I had my backups, my backups of my backups, and my backups of my backups of my backups, my... I always have single drive only, with multiple partitions, so a hard drive loss means EVERYTHING is lost, Windows, games, data, documents, the whole smash. But, I had everything I needed backed up. And, from now on, I'll use one drive for Windows, another drive for other things. And that can be faster as well. I installed Windows in AHCI mode now, was using IDE mode before. Man it is faster!! -
3D rocket exhaust effect not working anymore
Lexx_Luthor replied to Vambrace's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
These were made back in SF-1, and time is outpacing this. These effects NEED to be totally redone anyways, even for SF-1, cuz I learned a lot of things since I made these effects. Vamb, I don't have SF-2 running now, and won't again for some time, so you are on your own. **Free Tip** :: Study the ini files and talk to some of the SF-2 guys and gals old timers/timerettes. I was in the process of setting up new computer, got it up and running initially with DOS 6.22, and my old computer's hard drive died...just...died right in front of me. Happily, unlike everybody else here at CombatAce, I listen to Dave and everything is BACKED UP...except my SF-2 install. But I wasn't using it anyways and I didn't do much with it yet. I do have the Thudwire SF-2 installer backed up, and I considered that my SF-2 backup (I didn't do much of anything at all with SF-2 yet.) If I do move into SF-2, I'll probably redo these 3D effects. Until then Vamb you are on your own. -
Would movie watchers sit through 4 hours of P-51 straight and level flying at cruise speed, or wait for the 20 minutes needed for a realistic Me-262 to roll inverted (lol)? * NO, in either case they'd fall asleep like P-51 pilots tried not to when flying from England to Berlin.. Would hardcore aviation computer game players sit through 4 hours between takeoff and The Dogfight? * NO, they'd press the SKIP TO NEXT WAYPOINT button.

Okay. Paypal it is then.
