mmmmm painful. Just stay away from wooden boardwalks. Although I once saw a really tall supermodel~esque lady walk with near like stilleto points on a wooden boardwalk (8 inch boards) with a good half inch gaps, and for maybe 30 feet she never let a point hit a gap, and she never looked down. That's an ace. Anyways that's the Ussian version of Japanese foot binding, can't run away from a threat....and can't chase a victim.

Best game of 2009 is Classic SF 2006. Its the only game I spend time with. I may again Patch up to 2008 but its what you spend the time with the most that is always the best no matter what year it is now.

Wow that looks great. --- Just read this, RATO boosted F-86s tested in combat against MiGs in Korea? Near the bottom of WHAT? AN F-86 AT 70,000 FEET! ~> http://sabre-pilots.org/classics/v143what.htm

xclusiv8:: Google is your Friend. A good xampel is F-86 page here, thousands of pilot stories... ~> http://sabre-pilots.org/classics.htm Very different is CRISIS IN TAIWAN, F-86Dora flying between Formosa and China, picking up MiGs on radar. ~> http://sabre-pilots.org/classics/v152taiwan.htm Also, OVERFLIGHT, recon over USSR ~> http://sabre-pilots.org/classics/v112over.htm Just found this one, so I gotta go :bye: F-93 ~> http://sabre-pilots.org/classics/v101yf93.htm

Thanks south pole (Argentina) !! The gaps can be fixed. Here is my working RoF map, 10,000km, with gaps filled as described above with some compromises. Far from the pole, there were HUGE gaps that needed filling. I call this image "false colour" and it brings out the detail visually so I can see what I'm doing while cutting and pasting terrain. However, this false colour won't copy high terrain properly and TE maxes out at maybe 3km height. I just switch between TE Green and this false colour to make terrain cuts, pastes, and fills -- I filled and hand drew maybe 50 low level, but not sea level, lakes that TE won't pick up as 0m height. Lake Baikal at 455m can be tiled with its own "baikal" tile set, with min and max height both 455 and using 0 slope, and doubling up the exclusion region using both the primary and .bmp definitions. I wish TE had an InclusionRegion.

* bump * I love burly Russian Style fighters. This is much needed for escorting B-29s to the Urals. I use the Wolf-Wrench Corsair cockpit panel inside Russo external model. Details here ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4410&sid=c0e2dff2c8445efd1ccc96e56c99a07d&start=32

Should of = Should have I can't believe I did that. I always say it that way, but never type it, until now.

I have no idea, but I just guessen, I say this goes alot deeper. The Saudis who performed the wildly successful 911 Massacre -- a very complex long term misssion -- were fairly wealthy I've heard. My take is the richer guys who could make and keep wealth, and not just some banker's son, are the *only* ones able to perform complicated missions that require intelligence and experience in planning projects. Any poor Joe can go on walkabout wearing bombs under his panties, but something like an airplane attack needs competent people. That shoe bomber guy a few years back was a poor Joe I think, and the way he performed his mission, he should of become a night comedian, without quiting his day job. I get the feeling the classical airline bombers of decades back were either wealthy, or had significant position of authority -- you get to high echelon in an organization by being crafty. Complex missions require craft. Perhaps they are scraping the bottom of the barrel, as the self-made wealthy guys don't want to do the complex missions. They want to live. Sounds dam smart to me.

Wrench, why won't TE work with SF2? None of the old terrains can be used? Or do they just need manual changing of file types for New Sim. Grinch (last page November) :: Missing transition tiles. We always try to take shortcuts, thinking we don't need to make a transition set, but we do need it. Evidence is the horizontal or vertical strips of the first tile tile listed -- often the sea tile is made first. That's TE's way of defaulting if a transition tile is not there. This is the new Terrain Editor Icon ~> But then, when the jobs done, the Icon is ~>

Finally got round to this. Weird, and typical of my SF experience in general -- always smooth and simple. Win7 ATI-4550 SF 2006 Put the enb d3 and INI files in Flight folder: nothing. Put in basic SF folder and *BAM* double frames. Can do 300km horizon distance with 2km terrain tiles. Never could do that before (always went for the low end video cards). Had to find a d3dx9_26 and put that in SF folder as well. ~ http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_26 Yep, Shift+F12 turns the gruesome brightness effects on/off. It may be worth tuning the entire Enviro file to see if ENB with F12 effects can give it more colour control. Don't see how but who knows.

~> http://www.f-106deltadart.com/ There, fixed. This thread was toast. I just saved its B A C O N. Really, at seeing "106" in the title I stopped reading and just clicked the thread fast as I could. Yes I have a problem with this and I'm not getting it "treated."

What about Canada? What would they do?

From what I've gathered, these guys were alot of conscripted college students and, like our ground pounders, never wanted to be there. I assume the high-slow target would be U-2 or RB-57. This looks really interesting. Downloaded it but not looked at it yet. - - - * NIKE ALERT * Just found this, new as of summer 2009. Hercules simulator. ~> http://ed-thelen.org/NikeSimulation.html

FC:: Building pyramids comes to mind. Just to think, in another world, a new plane enters service and its replacement was already in test flight. That replacement had its own replacement being designed with slide rules, and even that had a replacement idea in concept proposal on some napkins. Funny, they did this with slide rules. The more computers became involved, the longer it takes heeehh!!! In Physics II we had a sub teacher who worked on SR-71 design. We talked after class a bit and I mentioned that I was impressed he did that with slide rules. He laughed and said he never thought of it that way.

I forgot about that. A good thunderstorm on approach is the coolest sound ever made.

Save that film!! lol. I like my Quiet when outside in Nature but you have to realize that jet thunder is pure nature as well as the sound of freedom and goes well with nature. I'm weird like that but it is, what it is. I should live near an airport, sleep like a baby. When I lived near choo choo tracks same thing but not quite as nice as teh jets. The only thing that might sound better and more natural is big space rocket.

104:: I noticed that and what I did is funny. Before I learned the basics of FM, I did what Yak did in real life trying to copy Su-15 features to his -28. See 76 linked poast above about Yak-28-64. I actually thought of that episode when I did the following. I knew Boopidoo's Su-15 could go supersonic hi, so I copy-pasted the Su-15 fuselage data to my Yak-28 data. It worked perfectly -- supersonic but not Mach 2. I'll eventually tune it to -28 standard myself when I get round to it. But it got it supersonic hi for now.

cannot reinstall as my CD/DVD drive is fragged. StiG, TK made the game so we can copy-paste multiple game folders for multiple "installs" without having to install them all from CD. If you get your game running again, copy it to a new folder as a backup. Never need CD again. I have an unpatched SF 1.0 install, with all Patches in that folder. That's for XtremE emergency only, or if I need to look up ancient default v1.0 ini settings. I have backup folders of my current game as well. It should fit on a good flash drive too. And it compresses well (use 7-zip google it). Backup SF saved my toast a few times.

bummp* I Don't have sound on my computer(*), never have and never will, but nice to see her. Thanks I always loved the glass song. I never went "Madonna" like alot of folks. I loved that one Blondie song, and I don't know any other Blondie songs but that one. Its enough for me. -- (*) I like to JAM stereo when I play The StrikeFighters. It helps me relax during the dogfight woof woof.

Yea Dave, common sense I can go with, but I figure one exception leads to another. We'll disagree on that which is cool. If what Ruggbutt is saying, its worth than I thought, the HA (okay HOAs) becoming a defacto government with authoritarian tendencies. I was thinking you were bloviating (like that MTL guy over at Thudwire ) when you poasted they were communist. You were right. The other one I like is not just HA but cities "outlawing" clotheslines. Man if and when I'll buy it will be where I have rabbits out front, hogs in the back (just kidding about them in front), and if the lot is big enough a junk B-47 on the side. Seems like everybody has an F-86Dora, no thanks.

Man that is great stuff Ruggbutt. Yesa its *not* directly the politicians here, they should step in and help this guy and perhaps free everybody from this nonsense. But I do understand the desire for some type of "conformity" but these rules in the long run seem to cause problems, the concept got carried away too far maybe. Thanks

D model, circa 1961 in natual metal/anti-flash white, and then is SouthEast Asia, circa 1966. You gonna upgrade the engines for 1960s. J-85 maybe a tad small? Its not too great a fantasy, if restricted to recon only. I doubt they can hit any targets. I'm gonna use em. They hacked up a half dozen RF-100A long range recon because they were desperate to find out what was doing in USSR, before U-2. I figure if SAC launches strikes in late 1947, they can't find much, so in 1948 they will ship a few -- very expensive -- "RB-35" prototypes to Korea or India or Norway. Same with "RB-49" (used as recon) a year later. Neither will be built in any number at all, only a half dozen maybe, but it is what it is. The other option is Republic R-12 but maybe make this a campaign variable. The other variable is just lots and lots of RB-29s, or a combination of these campaign possibilities.

Wowa I never knew that (for SF1). I've never used the WE, not even once, except for "saving" the data file. I'm up to nearabouts 100 weapons now for SAC and PVO alone and eventually I'll have to reorder them...(EDIT) no dam that's it, I have to re-order them not just fill in deleted numbers. Bummer. Guess I never will use WE. I swear I've never used it one time, as I'm good at file editing (lots of programming)

Dave I'm with ya hell I'd put hogs in my front yard. Fly the big pole. But I'd never buy a house in a suburban sheep pen to begin with. We have a choice not to move to a HA. Yea I figure these HA agreements will eventually fail along with the entire post-WW2 suburban phenomenon as the collapse continues. Problem with doing the traditional American thing and buying land and building a house for raising a family, is the city expands and confiscates your property to put in...guess...suburban HA's (more property tax), or some corporation (more local jobs, the corp is often given tax breaks). Property taxes for home land means State owned property. Now we are talking Communism. Dave:: "Its not a damn ham radio tower." You know, I thought about this a bit. The flag is supposed to be a symbol of freedom. A radio tower is freedom in action. I'm not a HAM but I know alot of em. I used to climb the big towers and I love them...er...kinda. Well its really a love-hate relationship hence the "used to" bit. My guess the pole is a "tall structure" and probably what the rules try to deal with. Freedom and liberty require everybody to follow the rules -- if one is excepted all are excepted. We obviously don't have that, but that's the idea of at least some of the Founders. Peace bro

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Typhoid thanks that pic made my day.
