Stig, I know if you run your MiG-25 to the "world boundary" which is defined, in kilometers, in Flightengine.ini, the plane stops there, and you fall out of cockpit. Its how far from the map edge you can fly. TK does not want you to see the map edge. How far did you travel in doing that zoom climb to 105k feet? On the other hand, you may have stumbled on another similar cause. If 105,000 feet is the defined world ceiling (again, Flightengine.ini), than maybe that causes the same effect. I never could have noticed it since a few days after getting the first game in the series, I set that ceiling to 1000km since I wanted no artificial restrictions (this allows external camera into "space" to test view cirrus layers, the warm front mod, and persistent 300km chemcontrails. I never expected the out of cockpit experience to be caused by hitting the artificial altitude boundary, if that is the case here. Or you ran the MiG to the world boundary. uh~oh ... that's it Same blue sky at every altitude. That is before Patch 2008. TK offered darkening skies with altitude in Patch 2008. You need to use the SibSky enviro changes with new 2008 Enviro. Extract the default. Also, I recall Patch 2008 causing the SF sun, moon, and the related Siberian Sky sun glares to be half the apparent size. Double them all. Its alot of work but I made all these mods for the hardcore only, and to demonstrate what should be possible in air combat TheSims in the 21st century.

Nesher good one! Thanks. Good thread al... I have a habit of leaving computer case side panel on the floor, leaning against wall. When the (steel) panel edge slips between the toes, it hurts extra bad.

A more advanced method is clean up the effects, make them more framerate friendly. Extract the ParticleSystem.ini in the FlightData cat file in Flight folder. Track down the effects used, then the emitter used by that effect. Increase the emission rate ... yea emission rate is really a time period. Increasing this means lower rate of particle emission. :yes: If you pork the Particle file, delete it and the game goes back to using the original encrypted version in the cat file.

lol A Chevy moving forward I just don't see it.

Wow. Yea get well soon. We'll ask TK to hold up addon releace until you get out (I know I'll get a CA football style pile-on for this...). SEE this man had a backup lung. backup Backup BACKUP Remember, hopital food is designed to keep you in hopital. :yes: Have family or friends to bring a big Polish deli sandwich.

Crocs are first class swimmers. Swimming in a current is neither surfing nor "catching a wave". Article was a bit hype.

Its in each airplane's Cockpit.ini file. You have to extract the file, then edit it to change the Max and Min yaw look angles. Below is 150 degrees left and right (or right and left I forgot which is negative. abstract example: : : [CockpitSeat001] ModelName=... Offset=... Position=... ViewAngles=... MaxYaw=150 MinYaw=-150 : :

Its been told that my old nuc visual effects work in SF2 which I have not got yet. The effects include aerial nucs. They need to be redone, which I'll do eventually. When I made those, I was running ATI 9200 (ATI what? ) until last year, and now see why I had to go overboard in simplifying the effects.

server:: Only Chuck Norris can put this thred to bed now.

kom, A-6 is great cockpit. Is your view panning in the cockpit restricted? If so, you can fix it easy to see the entire right side of the cockpit. Its very detailed, and hidden from us, why I don't know. that^

Authum I'll be back Have you seen this ~> http://www.yolo.net/%7Ejeaton/century/106/26106.htm

My guess: You've probably heard of BIOS flashing software, which can be done directly with bootable drive (floppy, thumb, etc...) without Windows, or flashing the BIOS through Windows although the hardware forums say that's unreliable. Never tried either myself. So your virus maybe got teh Windows to flash the chip in a bad way (think of re-programmable chips in cars, but not in beat up old trucks). On the other hand, I have a fairly recent Gigabyte motherboard which sports two (2) BIOSes, the second being a backup that cannot be flashed -- I assume. You hit that button on the board and it flashes the primary BIOS to the basic factory default I guess how it works. Interesting discussion with some on this 2nd BIOS here... tnc777:: I've never had to use that feature.

Wellcome back. How do you like Win~7 so far? I went the other way, put stuff in an old 45lb steel server case, looks half empty. You didn't have a backup.

Getting into this again. Some good old wartime photos of persistent contrails here.... scroll down ~> http://contrailscience.com/contrail-photos-through-history/ This blew me away. I enlarged it so the other bombers are more easily visible. One is just above the engine nacelle. I once found an article describing earliest known (at the time) witness descriptions of contrails. It was like 1917 or something, Western Front. A line appeared high in the sky, turning on and off, which I see alot of today and is caused by the plane passing through different "pockets" of water saturation or rising/descending air, or something like that. The practical science of contrail formation was born soon after WW1. Its fascinating to think these things had never existed in the past until airplanes came along.

Been watching the sky since I was a squish. If they are spraying chemicals today, they've been doing it heavily since 1980s. Actually, they were doing it back in 1940. For real... A Battle of Britain photo. Notice some trails are very short, and some are very long and spreading. There are some low level cumulus clouds to the right of the dome, and lots of high cirrus ice clouds which often go with persistent contrails. However, note the long contrail curled over the dome. It looks retouched or something. My theory: the LW and RAF were really flying together to spray London with Spits and Messers. gotta be them bankers again

Come and get em fellas/fellattes, only here, at THE COMBATACE download NOW ~> http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/7046-siberian-sky-contrails-for-strategic-air-warfare/ squid:: Only when the conditions are right for it, most notably at the approach of a warm front during winter. The contrails grow to become cirrus clouds, which we know can last for hours in the sky. Not much altitude difference (or horizontal distance) is needed at times for very different contrail behavior, and you can be tricked by eye comparisons of distance in 3D. About being tricked: That video showed a chem/con trail and a "dark line." I don't know what they said since I don't have sound on my somputer (I JAM stereo), but the dark line is contrail shadow on a lower thin transparent cloud layer. I wish combat flight TheSims developers would start paying attention to this type of thing. Those hour long contrails days are cited as causing global warming by the global warming types, so pick your conspiracy. If you actually started to watch the sky for days and years like I did growing up in Miss-iP where there is nothing else to do but get paddled in the rural schools, you see that hour long contrail days are about once or twice a month, which is not enough to cause global warming. btw...that plane with oily looking trails is just water vapour, including the sheen coming from the wings, heavily enhanced to produce an oily look. That photo is popular on forums among not just fans of chemtrail poisoning, but also the Global Warming fans, and they DO NOT mix with the chemtrail poisoning fans. All that said, I love browsing chemtrail websites because they can be a great source of some of the most surreal persistent contrail photos.

I dunno Before I poasted that, to make sure I extracted a bmp file to my Object folder. Bang there it was, viewed it too. Now, long ago I copied all my Extractor stuff to a folder I call "Extractor" that is inside my D:/SF folder.... D:\SF\Extractor All the you-know irunin pv.dll kinda stuff is in there. I run Extractor from desktop shortcut. I have to back out to SF folder before going into Object-Flight-Effects-Terrain-Etc folders to extract things but the extra step is for keeping the SF folder clean and neat without cluttering from all the irunin pv.dll kinda stuff. Wait up. Okay I have WoV-1 2008 stashed in E:\WoV. I just went there with my old Extractor and extracted the Zuni_tubes bmp. Viewed it too. It works for WoV1 Patch level 2008. Try setting up Extractor again, and put it into a folder inside the game folder. Also, this may be significant: I don't play the silly Windows game of "games" folder or whatever they call it. I just stick everything I install in my own created folders in D: or E:, anywhere but C: which is for Windows only.

pretty cool pics. How long does it thrust?

Wrench, my classical Skypat Extractor still works in win-7. Granted I'm running SF1 back at 2006 patch level.

Strike that link. If you are only interested in moving mirrors, there is a better way to get those mirrors usable in the long run, which is what you really want to do here. Read on... Tell more about your somputer. I never could use mirrors, until a week ago, and how I got doing mirrors didn't cost much. I just waited for the previous generation of gaming supercards to drop to almost budget prices. I've always used low budget fanless ATI video cards: Pre-Cambrian era Radeon 9200 until last year, then HD 4550 until last week. I just got a new HD 5770 and HD 4850 to compare. 5770 is slower, buggy, and hotter. I'm keeping the 4850 (I made custom cooling for it). I'm throwing the 5770 in the trash -- or more likely, use it for soldering skills. HD 4850 can be had for about 100$ now at Newegg. And for games not heavily using Windows DX11 features, its half the price or less of 5000 series of similar performance, including mirrors in THE STRIKEFIGHTERS , and no 5000 series bugs.
