76, can you sneak a screenshot with -152 sitting next to MiG-21? That will open some eyes.

If you need help Moving things around the panel, I can help there.

No sound on my computer. But really nice grafix on the first two videos. Makes me hope to see that Korea sim they are working over in Russia. I hope they are still doing that. That lineup of wrecks. Supposed to be four U-2s? A few Taiwanese U-2s were downed, but I guess some wings would snap off during the fall. Could some of those "mockups" or pieced together wrecks?

The Grinch who stole the thread. Thanks Grinch!

Congrats. You can do alot to save frames in TK's sim. Have you tried that enbseries framerate enhancer yet? If not, IT WORKS. duhwoops, looks like you might not play Teh SF. I forget this is general pub forum. I don't have to compute around. So I'll never have a laptop. In fact, just the opposite. Got an older computer case, huge solid steel tower. 45 pounds empty. Main Battle Case. Something to match my IBM Model M keyboard. Full size GB mobo, so tiny and lonely looking in there.

See if you like this. Its Boopidoo's panel inside Pasko Su-11 model. NO cockpit frames. Just panel.

Man/Manette I thought Su-11 was a big plane. As usual, I was wrong heeh. Boopidoo's Su-15 cockpit is easy to work with. Has radar and that kind of stuff. The extra engine guages can be Moved, or perhaps flipped over to not leave a blank spot.

Its in French, so I never was able to move frames. Most likely, the frame is attached to the base cockpit lod, requiring dropping the entire pit and raising selected parts back into view. This is hard if you don't know the language. I'd use the MiG-21PF pit as-is, or a later -21 pit, assuming a real life fictional canopy would have been developed for the thing if it entered limited production. It might have flown like a brick. I don't think 4 titan missiles would allow a takeoff on a reasonable runway, given that the engine doesn't put out much until high supersonic speed at altitude. I think I used the F-4 tank for my mutant mod of Insky's J-8 II. Its close to 1500L. Runways for this would make an easy target too.

New York JFK Sorry fellas/fellattes. Maybe "fun" can be had at a small un-controlled airport. There is no "fun" when a taxi or runway accident happens at busy international airports. Thanks Gr.Viper for that link ~> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_593 UKPilot:: Airport operations have everything to do with safety. Everything example you and others put forth about regulations causing lack of life experience has nothing to do with professional aviation safety. ONETINSOLDIER:: "...went boating without a lifejacket, rode a bike without a helmet..." Fantastic! You risk your own safety, and nobody elses. That is what freedom is all about. As a real example of what could have been done differently: The controller possibly could have put his kid in for early young flying lessons, which would include communications at smaller airports.

Congrats! :drinks: Well there goes the new truck.

K-9 is listed in lindr's Weapon Pack (Part 1) here... ~> http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=7224

:yikes: That pic with -152 lineup. 76 with all these positive waves, I mean what can go wrong? My kind of flight sim.

Wow looks fantaxtic 76. lindr made a K-9 for us. That invites Ye-152A which was an even kewler looking bird. 76, The R-4R wingtip pylons were a complete failure. Just say NO! Plans were afoot in the MiG bureau to move the R-4s under wing at half span. But the project was cancelled in favour of MiG-25 before the move was made. Now, it does look sweet to have Titan rockets on the wingtips. So make an *optional* loadout that should be selectable in a mission editor... [TestFlight] Loadout[01].WeaponType= Loadout[01].Quantity=0 Loadout[02].WeaponType= Loadout[02].Quantity=0 Loadout[03].WeaponType=R-4R Loadout[03].Quantity=1 Loadout[04].WeaponType=R-4R Loadout[04].Quantity=1 Loadout[05].WeaponType=Tank1500_E152 Loadout[05].Quantity=1 [AirToAir] for use in the real life fictional production version. Did I just write that? [AirToAir] Loadout[01].WeaponType=R-4R Loadout[01].Quantity=1 Loadout[02].WeaponType=R-4R Loadout[02].Quantity=1 Loadout[03].WeaponType= Loadout[03].Quantity=0 Loadout[04].WeaponType= Loadout[04].Quantity=0 Loadout[05].WeaponType=Tank1500_E152 Loadout[05].Quantity=1 I'd say the 4 pylon setup you have in mind would have reduced max speed to less than Mach 2. Unless you give it 4 Atolls. The extra seat would ensure max speed is never reached because there never was enough fuel capacity even in the single seat aircraft. The plane was XtremE fuel limited.

Get Jay Miller's Aerofax Series B-58. Its getting expensive, maybe 50 FRNs "used" now but worth it. That's gotta be the most deep end writing I've seen in an airplane book yet. Text is *very* small (a good thing) but easy dark bold simple font that don't distract. Its 150 pages which is thick for Aerofax Series (normally 128 pages).

Fubar; interesting. What is your contrail philosophy here. In the video, the contrails are formed with discrete particles, at least for the first few seconds behind the exhaust. If you are having issues with the stock style contrails vanishing at certain viewing angles, that can be fixed by going BLEND_INV_SRC_ALPHA_ADD_SRC connected sprite. As a FREE bonus, the contrails then brighten up in the brightened sky effect near the SF sun, depending on how you set that up. The wingtip contrails seem to be connected sprites, so they are still in SF2. I'm still at SF 2006 ror.

Added footnote: I just got Crowood Aviation's Blackburn Buccanneer by Kev Darling (he did Crowood's Vulcan too). Trekkie details. I'm learning which publishers and authors offer deep details, and those which publish/write pillow fluff. Darling is hardcore.

It makes the sound of a bowl of flax. At midnight, the bad pun.

Anti-flash white is my favorite colour.

JediMaster:: Outside of government, its not an employer's market when employers are going out of business. The productive sector is closing up shop, business and labour together. Woolworths over in UK surprised me a bit, as it had survived the 1930s great depression but failed last year, or at least most stores closed so I heard.

ghostrider, you need to see Midland's Tu-95 hardback, in the Famous Russian Aircraft series by Yefim. That is HUGE, with Yefim's high technical density, and superb pics. Same with his titan MiG-21 hardback. Dump WarbirdTech. Go with Aerofax Series and Midland-RedStar. The *best* I've found yet is Jay Miller's B-58 AEROFAX. Its large for this series at 150 pages, and is the most detail dense book I've got yet, even surprassing Yefim's Aerofaxes and RedStars in raw density. Just got it and I'm stunned at the cruel, brutal text, in small tiny fine print, ALL of it about the B-58 weapons system and its deployment. Trekkie stuff. It may be out of print I dunno. It may be getting expensive so look into it fast. Also for Trekkie details, go Crowood hardbacks. I have Yefim's An-12 and Darling's Vulcan (and Bowman's E.E. Lightning softback). Fortunately, the Aerofax Valiant and Victor books are deep. Well they are Aerofax. But I chose the larger Crowood Vulcan book for the third bird. Also, Dennis Jenkins' heavy weight softbacks by Specialty Press rival the Trekkieness of Yefim. I have B-36, XB-70, and X-15 so far. Last is Fredricksen's new B-45 Tornado. Up front it seems soft on details, and is mostly operational history, but since that was limited to so few units, enough deep aircraft details worm their way into the operational details. But the early jets were like that. Flying to Moscow. Shucks B-47s never tried that. Add the following link for one additional crew story not as detailed in the book... ~> http://www.spyflight.co.uk/scul.htm Link found under Operations, Op Jiu Jitsu Even more Last is Suhler's new Rainbow to Gusto. I have not read it yet, but flipping pages it seems a strange stealth (or desperate attempts at stealth) tale from U-2 to SR-71 family. Large parts detail Convair Fish and Kingfish competitors. Tiny diagrams but http://www.up-ship.com/ is making new diagrams free for those who purchase the book. UpShip is working with the author on this.

Very interesting. I'm staying SF-1 but, this sounds like a way to refuel/rearm on the ground, assuming you land safely. Edit another AI flight, or paste a flight in, taking off from same field, to Player, and set that flight to start at game run. Maybe even reduce the number of flight elements to match losses you noticed. May work best for long single missions only I'd guess. If it works at all. Would this be Correct Thinking?

Air Force Legends seems to have published some sweet little books on the classics. XF-88 XF-91, XB-51, etc... Any opinions there? Reviews seem to indicate good information.

For the last few yarns I've been meaning to get Haldeman's Forever Peace and this reminds me again. Rear echelon controls super-hi-tech robots to fight far away dirt poor nations. The reviews seem to indicate a weird cosmo big bang theme, so I may skip it. I don't do big bang (don't ask).

Baltika, what areas of north Euro? The gaps can be chosen to be anywhere and come from the max 36 degree size blocks in 3DEM. For my experiments, I choose the gaps to start at the prime meridian by default. Notice in my first pic, south-east England is cut by a gap. If your map is small enough, it may be possible to either avoid gaps or have the gaps restricted to the east and west map edges, where any gap fixing won't be seen much.
