Thanks for that link. Very impressive.

Ruggbutt:: THAT'S IT!!! thanx

this is embarrassing Your shiney silver F-104s should stay shiney silver as you near space under the bright SF Sun. Think about it. FELLAS / FELLATTES, its been years since SF1 2008 and now SF2+ and all yours planes turn black at high altitude under the SF Sun in all yours CombatAce screenshotz. Fix it. FC, maybe the Fellas will listen to you. This is from my SF1 2008, which is as far as I went with the series. Environmentsystem.ini ... [HighAlt] : : : SunLightModifiler=1 AmbientModifiler=1 SpecularModifiler=1 I set ALL of these to 1, because then nothing changes, and that's the way it should be. TK fluffed the spelling and I told him about it, and he probably fixed it since then, so they all should read Modifier, not Modifiler. TK had no reason to add this "feature" that changes sunlight on objects at high altitude, so don't use it by setting all of them to 1.

They did it with U~2 as well. Thanks, never seen this.

Old video but still good today. The mystery girl with the ear phones is famous on all teh internetz discussion about this, earning a nickname I forgot now.

pffft Su-7. I wish I had one of those. Waaaaay better handling than MiG-21. You hear about private MiG-21s, but not Su-7s. I wonder if there are any.

Fubar:: Interesting. I have never tested if an EW radar would attract attention in the game. Before SAMS, there was some thought towards ARMs for B-50 and B-47 for use against surveillance radars. The one I know about, 1953, potentially nuc armed: Crossbow ~> http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app1/gam-67.html

You would help others looking at this thread by sharing your solution. Also, at least for SF1, the FM data, near the top, has artificial performance limits, I suppose make things easy. There's a MachLimit= and a Ceiling=. I've been able to eliminate the need for Ceiling by testing until I get FMs (and engine data) to top out in altitude near the listed ceilings. If I recall, since it has been some time since I've done this kind of thing, the Ceiling= works by rapidly reducing thrust to zero as the aircraft nears the defined Ceiling and above.

Things get interesting when both are good high energy fighters, say, Ki-44 vs Lightning, or F-104 vs Lightning. We really need multiplayer to explore the second option, oh man/manette. A fascinating discussion on Pacific fighters I ran into some time ago...

...and, I'm sure they know our language, but also develop their own code. We do the same thing, use standard street language when we want to be heard by anybody, and use encryption when we have things to hide. Budding little cryptographers!!!

FC:: If you spend the time and pay attention to kids, sure. If not, they might pay more attention to their friends and make their own way. My parents ignored us to some extent, but I got lucky by getting into heavy reading at an early age, so I turned out "okay" in regards to language usage, I suppose (but you'd never know it from my having to edit my fast poasts, and TK disabled editing over at the Thudwire ). server I was thinking the same thing. If so, it depends on learning what BOOM means in other contexts I figure, or the contexts may vary too, kinda like ECM vs ECCM vs ECCCM vs... Fc, got more of this stuff?

Its also controled through mission files, which mission editors can do. I use KMD, but I'm stuck at SF1 2006. Here's an example from the old game... your game may be different. [Weather] WeatherType=CLEAR WeatherAlt=4000.0 WeatherThickness=500.0 HasHighLayer=FALSE HighLayerAlt=8000 FogAmount=0 ContrailAlt=7000 StartWindDirection= StartWindSpeed=17.57222 WindGustingAmount=25.57222

eraser:: You took the time to read it and think it through, and it makes sense. I recall usually thinking stuff like this is mush and pass it by as a waste of time (for me!!). And that's why it can work. I guess if we have kids, we have to learn a new language.

FC:: TK @ Thudwire won that title. Recall, the digital watch fad got flushed with Pet Rocks and Cabbage Patch. Analog watches and cockpit panels, like Barbie and Ken, are forever.

Go harry. Agreed on the modders. Pretty much, the entire SAC and PVO lineup is complete. I saved this for hysterical perservation. F-106, and Su-15, in TheJetSims for the first time.

FC:: By that, you mean the IBM Model M or Northgate Omnikey. We give boys and girls cheap mushy foam keyboards, so no wonder many write mush. I have some friends with kids, I just thought maybe they can try one of my M's out, see what happens. Somebody here try their kid out on a real Model M or a recent manufactured replica or updated replica (Windows keys and all). See if it goes over, or not. Since almost all "adult persons" have mush for boards, kids might have a solid reason to do a Retro thing and start using real computer keyboards. Well, its a thought anyways. I bet somebody makes replicas of the Northgate as well.

I've stumbled into a peculiar x 3 insightful news and analysis source called NightWatch, run by, I think, Kforce Inc. ~> http://www.kforcegov.com/Services/IS/NightWatch.aspx Indeed. I noticed that style the first time, and had to keep going back ever since. Its fun to read and a fast roundup every day for those without time. Best, the NightWatch is presented in a simple text page without all the distracting flash and colours. I've always said one word is worth a thousand pictures. Today's report, NightWatch 20101208, is especially fascinating (Japan, China, NK, etc...). ...although I made the mistake of allowing auto-update to FireFox and now have to scroll right to read the full text. I hate automatic software updates. Oh well.

Apparently, she and her readers can read it, and write it too. So its not stupid, and probably not lazy so much as lack of motivation to learn in a dis-functional education system. I'm not sure, but kids do things for often hidden reasons. The Good News: If what the younguns are telling me is straight-up that they hope never to get into debt, then I think, or I hope, they are learning for themselves, by themselves, through seeing the adults "go down" so to speak, about debt being a really bad idea, since (today's) adults don't want to admit debt is a very, very bad thing. FC now, wozop with that cancer group thing?

Sounds like you hit the invisible wall near the map edge. Were you flying near the map edge? Next time it happens, just bank and turn away from the wall back toward map center and see if everything gets right again.

F-104 If you know about P-38 vs Zero, you know how to do F-104.

pfft They used to do it with slide rules. I love the way 99 turns to the runway for takeoff and the once glorious California sun shines off the pure metal fuselage -- they can't do that anymore.

How did I miss this? I loved The Tron but it didn't effect me much but still very inspiring -- and not too "disney." I recently was looking to get it on DVD but it seems the only one is very expensive now. Jedi (page 1):: The earliest I know of is the 1976 Whoopisode The Deadly Assassin. They even called it a Matrix. I have that whoopisode on DVD; its not exactly the best but it did alot with the background story of the Time Lord home planet of Gallifrey. Somebody may have done the idea earlier. Anybody here know? Add me to The List. Never saw ET either.

76, I'm repoasting this to be at the top of your new page. The later version:

I dunno fellas. One of our Argentine members poasted that Argentina cut back its military after the 2001 currency event down there. So maybe they can't do the Invasion thing anyways. I have no clue. I can only guess that the Argentine military is a shadow of what it was in the 1980s. Now, so too with UK I suppose. Anyways, Argentina and UK are both insolvent, and worse, in debt to giant banks. But so is everybody.

DBS about 2k I think. But give 6k a shot and lemme know. I made it 1 SF ago. Nobody tried it I suppose. "...will be done in 2 SF's."
