Does the sun set behind the band? ... ie... does the band cut off the setting sun? I've seen that before. This may be it (?) Look in Enviro. Check under [sky] see if HorizonVertexHeight=0 If above zero, there is a band between the fogged horizon and the bottom of the horizon panels...and this band cuts off the sun. The vertex height may have changed in THE PATCH 2008.

Hey that's a nicer write up pfunk. I like the way you stumble around for a planeset. Lots of things to choose from. mmm...I'm not sure if 1992 is too late for Su-15TM, but you do know Boopidoo has that modelled with cockpit with some superb modelling. Its one sharp looking bird. I prefer high wingloadings meself!!

Meh I don't have sound on my computer. I have a stereo if I want to JAM. It helps me relax during the Dogfight. woof woof Changing society, I'd guess that was well known before Karl Marx. As my understanding goes, Satan's only power over man is deception...well I guess temptation as well. Trick them into debt for consumables, individuals and nations. A nice pic I found, pretty kewl and...even uses the Siberian Sun mod...

According to Baugher, the USAF, under pressure from McNamara, went with NAVY F4H-1 as-is...both seats, even adding dual controls for rear seat piloting. F-110 ~> http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/f4_7.html

Alot of education rules come down from the Politburo in Washington DC. The mass medication of school students is a fascinating development, and many otherwise caring parents go along with it because it relieves *their* stress at home in the short term, assuming both parents are working full time or more -- which is yet another theory running around....forcing both parents to work, it never ends. It reminds me of Suyev's account of Soviet medication of his mom, or the medication of Alan Turing who if there was one (1) man who single handed won WW2 for the "allies" he was it. Strange stuff all around. The classical Opium Wars of Britain against China, and the CIA or Air America stories in the drug trade are good examples of how people in the street can easily lose trust or confidence in .gov, which only serves to make conspiracy theories become mainstream almost, at least some of them. Can't blame them a bit. The Chemtrail conspiracy is sad, because persistent contrails and a cirrus sky is a most beautiful thing, but I can't blame the chemtrail conspiracy "believers." But I can do my best at slipping long contrails and cirrus clouds into The Sims.

Well its said the Soviets lost the Cold War, and the Communists won.

What's the movie about? From the Utube comments... Greame166 (1 year ago):: That should be the core of a good story. Shootdowns are kinda "mainstream" entertainment in a way. I love how in the Babylon 5 series, JMS had the Earthgov put up early Lennin-style posters to exhort Pres Clark and Earth Patriotism and you can easily see GNN (Galactic News Network) as CNN under control of Earthgov. That series did not have much shooting, but it sure had lots of deep story telling and classical authoritarian imagery.

haha and I totally missed it. ThankS! dswan I'll have to czech this out stt st sttutter thing...how long? I dunno. Very little time for SF right now.

Yeah I'll have get on this. I'll use some advice in the Bear Problem thread about how to get it stable on the ground.

Judging by the P-108, Veltro makes some nice 3Detailed external model canopy frames. A Veltro BEAR should work exceptionally well with a stargetic cockpit.

I thought we had to move to THE WOV+ to use New Patch. ie...maybe your not supposed to gly Patch 2008 to THE SF. Hay I might try it on a backup copy game folder (for obvious game safety reasons).

SFP1 got an October Patch? If true, this would be an October surprise for me.

My fave conspiracy is Chemtrails, because chemtrail websites offer great pics of persistent contrails in a heavy cirrus~esque sky. I love the smell of an approaching warm front in the evening. ah...chemtrails over THE SF = Highly zoomed in view out of cockpit, toward the setting Siberian sun. The B-47 contrail coming toward the player is about 300km long. Yes this can be done in The Sims, and someday the devs will figure it out. But not today.

Typhoid:: Pretty close. The MiG-29 defector Suyev told of how his mom was sedated when she discovered the bizzare land assest accounting in USSR, and she tried to bring it to the attention of the authorities. They were in on the scam and medicated her down. This could have been Ussian propaganda (I still wonder about Zuyev as VVS pilot trashing PVO pilots...most interesting indeed). I'll bet Russian or post-Communist society is very keen on conspiracy theories, and they have every reason to be. Typhoid:: hehe. More interesting was why the big K was shot down, and others too in his family. One gun person, 2, or 300 holds little interest for me. Who stood to loose from Kennedy? But you can't blame the theory victims, since its a well earned lack of trust on the part of .gov, and all the underworld stories of Busch Sr. or Air Amerikka drug running and stuff, and poor education as well. The most popular "evidence" of Apollo moon landing hoax is lack of stars seen from the surface of the moon, which anybody knowing how daylight camera exposure and faint stars work can easily avoid that trap. Years ago I was at a local astronomy club meeting, a few of the younger guys (like me at the time) were sitting at table, a bit of age grouping, and the Apollo hoax came up among us youngens about the lack of stars. I pointed out the camera exposure under daylight, and they were like WOW man your right. Even they having an interest in astronomy didn't figure that out themselves. I can't blame them. Sloppy education was not their fault, which is another conspiracy theory seen running around about dumbing down the American pubic.

I first saw this as a vast looping set of images in a poaster's SiG at the AAA FB/PF modder forum. Hard to read the images didn't give much time. Seeing it wrote out is better in a way. But the pics and facial expressions selected were great.

It happens. One of the Pacific nuk stories has a destroyer engine room guy too "lazy" to change a piece of equipment, and it caused the destroyer to be dead in the water in super high radioactivity. True or False we don't know right here. I don't know the details, but they are buried somewhere here...thousands of stories. I suggest read them all over time.

Czech out the caption on this Telegraf UFO photo caption...Okay..."apparently"... but not for sure, so the writer is covered and can get paid. read ~> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegal...s.html?image=17

kct... Is that the Siberian Sun? Patch 2008 made the SF sun and moon smaller, about half the size. You can double the size of these back to original, and I think also the large sunglare "lensflares." Play with the numbers. We lost the hemisphere sky glow for near sunset/sunrise, and instead got blood red "camera" glare bleeding like open wound into the terrain and objects. I can't use that, so I'm stuck for a while figuring out how to fix this problem.

Skippy:: One can find examples of well run and very efficient .gov projects ... when they are "needed" that is! Kennedy need not have been targeted by a "government" conspiracy, but by an extra-government conspiracy (ie...outside the .gov). To use Roopod's example on this page: The Ussian central bank, the Federal Reserve, is a private banking institution outside the constitutionally defined "government" and controls the nations debt/interest based money -- money never defined in the nation's founding documents -- instead of the Congress or Treasury as required. The Fed lies well outside .gov. Its my understanding that Kennedy's (??) United States Notes (??) *may* have returned US money control to the government, although I never looked into this history very much so maybe I'm wrong (usually the case). Is this Correct Thinking Roopod? Other examples I've seen thrown about are Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" wanting to get into Vietnam, Cubans or anti-Cubans, Mafia, etc... all of them outside the "government."

B-70 was made to drop bombs, and I've read it would have been more accurate than ICBMs of the late 1960s. This is one reason of several that I rationalize using B-70 in my fictional Siberian Sky campaign. Escort: At this speed and altitude, another Tu-360 armed with air-air weapons would be the most likely candidate. Think of F-12 escorting A-12s, clearing a penetration corridor of any rising high speed high altitude interceptors. Something like that. I plan on a "possibility" of using B-58 as an escort using early version of F-12 weapons system, until the F-12 (or F-111) becomes usable on a fairly large scale. One B-58 was used to test the F-12 radar and weapons which eventually lead to the F-14A weapons system.

Tomcat Cruies, iron eagle -- how far we have come. I'll admit, there *is* one Made In Ussia Hollywood movie that inspires me ALOT and that is Jimmy Stewart's Strategic Air Command, with never repeated style footage of B-36 and the air warfare environment (never modelled in The Sims)....and a little bit of B-47. I've read this movie ramped up SAC rectruitment in its day, and the movie makers did it with bombers instead of first person Dogfight shooter planes. That movie inspires me to ... lol... make more cirrus clouds and even longer contrails for TK's sim hehe!!

Most interesting indeed. I have wondered how Lockheed's F-12 would have performed in Vietnam, assuming ROE allows picking off slow aircraft rising from known locations of NV airfields. F-14A is kinda close in a way, potentially the ultimate tactical fighter of the 1970s with MiG-25 second.

Syrinx:: I was never into the -21 series, as they may have given up on the basic MiG-19 idea too soon, and the Su-7 may have been better base for developing a more useful Ussian style "heavy" fighter/strike aircraft. I was always impressed with Su-7. I do kinda like the Ye-2 swept wing MiG-21 prototypes -- maybe the tailed delta just doesn't do it for me, I dunno. Your surprise at enjoying "migs" when they are done well is why Thirdwire eventually has to take the game "both sides flyable" out of box, like the WW1 sim, or some other developer may wade into this historical era and take it away like taking candy from a combat flight simmer. TK also says he will not make a "strategic" based sim, so there will be no SAC and ADC flying anytime soon (out of box). Maybe that's just for the present series, as he really does not put out his long term specific goals. So who knows. As a contrarian, I hope TK's statement indicates a bottom sentiment in the strategic combat flight sim market...time to go long?

F-35 Chicken We will remember this one. Don't feel bad, there used to be an airplane called Oxcart.

I don't know for sure, all I have is SF and THE WOV. I use KMD. Its tricky to learn, but once you do its faster than lightning and easy to use.
