Jug:: Think of it as a Xen thing. Its the same as the intention behind the 2nd Ammendment. An armed citizenry is a peaceful citizenry free from the violent tyranny of street thugs and government thugs. Peace is staying home and protecting your own families with a mailed fist, not running around the world playing "house to house" ensuring profits for bankers and corrupt politicians. When the B-52 and KC-135s became available, SAC came home. Every target in the world could be reached out to and Touched from USA (and Greenland). Here is a fascinating article on this: how SAC eagerly abandoned its overseas bases when advances in aviation finally allowed it. Strategic Frontier: American Bomber Bases Overseas, 1950-1960 [301 Pages] PDF FILE by Kurt Schake~> http://www.theblackvault.com/documents/ADA353633.pdf

Caution: The game's canopy "reflection" option does not work with 3rd Party cockpits, or at least those that don't use the stock canopy "reflection" tga. Turning OFF canopy "reflection" only works for stock Thudwire cockpits, or it may work if the stock tga is used, but I can't be sure. But, there is something going on with that Tornado canopy tga's appearance. I tried it and don't see that.

Got it thanks. In my pure fantasy strategic campaign, I'm thinking of the possibility to use forward deployed Bomarcs for covering returning strike aircraft flying back to overseas bases after missions into USSR. Good luck in new job. For those interested, an exotic short read, a kinda "Super Bomarc" Mach 4 test ramjet used as SAM target....

Did you set aircraft to player? If you did, it could be a cockpit problem. So.... ....what airplane? KMD is complex enough that providing full details can be helpful.

I am able to get a first starting point/airport however everytime I try to make another waypoint I am flatly denied I don't know if this is what you need, but what I do is make a buttload of waypoints, non-edited, THEN I set the plane to takeoff. Setting to takeoff consumes waypoints it seems, so try making a whole bunch of waypoints BEFORE setting the plane to takeoff. To create new waypoint, it's Ctrl+mouse click right? I forgot. My hands make the waypoints. I do not! So hehehe I *think* my hands use Ctrl+mouse.

There's a great old timer's forum at this website ~> http://www.f-106deltadart.com/ , and they do take questions. Some good discussion there.

heehe yes it is....just the way I like it!! Some tips: Before moving on to editing another object, click APPLY or the KMD forgets what you did to the first object. Until you build Faith in how KMD works waypoints, make sure to check all waypoints to make sure they are what you want. Somewhere there is a BuGG that on some occasions swaps player flight. It happens rare enough that I havent bothered to localize it, and it could even be something in my diet. What are you trying to do that gives you fits? Maybe I can help a bit. I was fitted with KMD as well, long ago, but I eventually figured it out. The tutorial is a start, but you have to hack away at some things until it you get what you want. Once you figure it out, KMD, exactly like Terrain Editor (TE), is flawless, smooth, EMP-fast and easy as pi to work with, and so I call KMD the KE. Its simple to understand. And completely credible, and convincing.

Jug:: Indian style. If you didn't know Boopidoo has modified his/her Su-15 cockpit for Su-7. IAF article about Su-7 during 1971 Ind/Pak War ~> http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/History/Aircraft/Su-7.html Su-7 was like Fokker D7; super easy to fly. TK's Su-7 is the first *real* Sukhoi jet out-of-box in any of the combat flight The Sims.... (I am repulsed by post-modern "jets." Wretchfest Maximus )

Tailspin that looks like what I saw. I figured increase fuse range to make missile "better" but it didn't work unless the warhead is powerful enough to do damage at the greater range. So larger fuse range is good for larger warheads. Back in the day, near abouts 1960, nuc warheads were needed for supersonic vs supersonic head on AAM attacks because the fuzing at that time was not fast enough, or so I read anyways.

Yes the co-pilot is part of the cockpit model. It can be Moved out of view. Easy as 2pi/2. Near full instructions with worked examples are here~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4410 Not quite full, since I never moved up to Patch 2008 with the "open cockpit" thing. But you will learn how to Move cockpit objects around or out of view. First 3 or 4 pages are some good learnin. The rest is fluff. In the Cockpit folder, look at the OUT text file for CoPilotseat and underneath that is Body....that mesh should do it.

Yough wait up Fubar. You say they exploded so they did detonate, just no effect. I recall my experiments that fuse distance does have effect, in the SF1, and did not need hitting. Perhaps I need to look again. I found you can set it too high and the missile explodes too far from the target -- so no damage.

Very interesting. I wonder if the twin bubble canopies would have surived to production. They usually don't. I'm using the C-69 as possible rough standin for Republic R-12 Rainbow, 45k feet and 450+ mph. ~> http://www.spyflight.co.uk/Rainbow.htm

My guess? Beyond a few hundred km, early F-86s were holes in the ground unless their pilots could find a place to land. Korea was considered a sideshow and LeMay was preparing for the main act. He needed to test the F-84E as long range escort fighter for long range bombers and its best to find out instead of waiting until after the curtain goes up. Well that's my amateur thinking anyways.

Now this is interesting: Did LeMay refuse F-86 because he wanted to test the F-84 as SAC day escort fighter in the Korean War? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : : Lt. Gen Stratemeyer thought that the F-84s were no match for the MiG-15s and preferred the Sabre for the task but he was under pressure of the temperamental SAC commander, General Curtiss LeMay, who wanted to see the Thunderjets of the 27th FEW acting as escorts. This is an unusual episode since FEAF was distinct from SAC and under the direct control of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. SAC continued to control all the bomber forces in the ZI (Zone of Interior - i.e., the United States). Stratemeyer gave in and crossed his fingers in hope that the 334th FIS will be enough to keep the MiGs away from the bombers. Nothing remotely similar would happen in what turned out to be one of the worst USAF operations up to that date. : : ~ http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_315.shtml -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Had a great flying distance, unlike F-86 Antons and Emils.

streak:: I did the same thing, being forced to go back to 06 for my own stuff, at least for now, so I understand the concept.

Ya this era is really interesting, sci-fi almost. Something new for me: Lockheed Kingfisher; a kinda Super Bomarc ramjet sorta.... Military aviation development stopped dead, full stop, about that time, as in the other major aviation nations (USSR, Britt, etc...)

Wrench, do you have NewTE, several years old now, which can import up to four (4) DEM files if needed? ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3059

The comments at the link poasted above. For example: BEAR:: Graphically what? As far as I know, TK's sim was the *first* to model moving clouds...I did it hehe!! TK's sim has the *best* air warfare environment modelling, at least grafically. However, AI needs programming to interact with that environment. Only TK can do that. Think the ground combat shooters and how AI soldiers or tanks are programmed to interact with buildings, trees, streams, hills, clouds, spotting contrails at 50 miles on a moonlit night....oops those last two are for air warfare modelling. Well maybe someday, but today TK's sim at least the best air warfare environment grafix.

Anything of "strategic" value is wellcome! ()

This is interesting... Juries quietly flip the bird to oppressive laws ~> http://www.tuccille.com/blog/2009/02/jurie...oppressive.html

Hey fellas/fellattes. If this is a US vs Iraq thing, MiG-25 shouldn't have any radar because of all the jamming. However, trying to recall what I read once, there is another radar mode that either wasn't jammed or something that Iraqi pilots could use, or they went IR. I dunno. And their comms with base was mucked up too. For this purpose, recall the old Patch problem green washout of radar...just what is needed. Or, maybe somebody wants to make an avionics.ini that models a nicely jammed and largely unusable radar.

13:: That happened to me. Mostly landlubber here, on lunch break, alone. Nice smooth aqua green BIG waves invited me off the beach into the warm ocean. Very nice bobbing up and down. Then bang I could see the shore *moving* away from me, and I had a moment of fear and a few moments of "this won't end well." But before panicking, somehow I managed to just think it out. So I just paddled water not trying to swim, then one of the BIG smooth waves came in and at the start I started swimming hard and rode the wave a good distance. I could feel the distance somehow and I knew I could make it then. Three or four more of these waves and I was walking on sand beneath. Scary stuff out there. But try to **explain** procedure to somebody else out there, and 8 yo kids? Yikes. Well it worked for me one time, but I won't assume I can depend on that again. I never went back in alone, but I have gone back in.

Non paid...I hope you can change that. My fave job ever was tutoring for uni, but it was the lowest paying job ever (minimumnumnum wage). When I say pump the place up, I was thinking of when I was tutoring...I was the *best* and added alot of stuff that helped students. I helped some folks get past the NAVY exams (physics stuff mainly). Library Service (!) can potentially help alot of people....another thing....have you thought about tutoring some subject you know?

Terrain Editor time for Dave. Spam spelled backwards is....mapS.
