Try and see. Like T said, or just as easy, comment out the line in the airplane.ini that declares the cockpit.ini file the plane uses. // two lines like this make a pure comment line, game ignores it. I think this would work as well. However, if you want to save game size on disk, you could delete the cockpit folders and might as well delete the .ini line too.

Indeed not. He saw it happen. Some of the details I quibble with, but Orlov's basic idea is that the Soviet people had always suffered a chronic century long economic collapse well before "soviet" political collapse, so it was like nothing new under the Siberian Sun. ~ http://www.energybulletin.net/node/23259

Mental Collapse....forgot Orlov link ~> Closing the Collapse Gap http://www.energybulletin.net/node/23259

It may be for domestic consumption, the guy is an information warfare dude so... Good discussion on this at Market Ticker forum ~> http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=72857 More interesting is Dmitry Orlov and the Collapse Gap. If you can get past the first few pages, it provides some interesting comparisons to Soviet collapse and possible similarities and differences in a possible Ussian collapse. Gets some stuff wrong I think, but nails some others to the wall...the lack of private property ownership in Ussia for example... Orlov::

In terrain data file, I think one of these helps control the white border, BUT....fixing it causes another issue exactly what I forgot though. Experiment. [AlphaObjectTextureMaterial] DepthBufferCheck=TRUE DepthBufferWrite=TRUE RenderedInOrder=TRUE AlphaTestEnabled=TRUE : :

Never seen one light up the sky like that, that seemed to put out more light than full moon. this video comment made my day... macandcheese33:: "....its just that tool bag dropped by that lady astronaut in space last week."

Did you feel the 4.1 earthquake? You are near there right?

Wow, most interesting. But earthquakes are becoming more common, or so I hear. eagle:: The pics show thunderstorm tops, they grow out from BIG cloud tops, and the flat tops are made of ice crytals. Very high at about 10 kilometers. What you saw is flat layer of water clouds, a bit lower.

Yeah but resources for offensive operations could have cost NV more as well, say in place of air defenses, and the antiship strike losses very high I imagine. After I had, well you know, went a little funny in the head last night, I started brushing up on the Piraz ships and stuff, downing migs 80 nmiles away with Talos? I didn't know that. So what happened Jug?

Well the Coast Guard exchanged some gunfire with RN during the ... Cod Wars? Some ramming and boarding too.

mmm, I have no idea about this stutter. *gack* um...Your not using any of my bizarro mods are you?

Its not a wall, its a flat layer. You see it from partially on edge, so it extends into the distance. I used to be a weather watcher in Mississippie. Saw millions em, and never an earthquake. If you are a cloud Newbie, czech out a good picture website with nice descriptions.

One should be able to make very deep canyons by painting on the Terrain Editor exported HFD-to-BMP file and re-importing from that, and perhaps tweak them with tile height files. I think extra detail could be made with small "WW1 Sim size" map with smaller than standard SF tile height mapping without creating an overly large size map on hard disk. When I was making the Six Million Meter Map, and working the BMP file in a photopaint program, I suffered a power failure with a surge. The surge caused a *small* data error that created a single pixel line across the map (6000km), only slightly different than normal for most of the terrain. I didn't see it until I re-imported, made the map playable, and in game I found a Great Wall about 2km high and 2km wide crossing the map. With external free camera (ramped up in speed/accel), I traced this thing all the way across the map. If I recall (and I may not!), it rose and fell with terrain and if that memory is correct, the error added to already existing BMP data. I made a screenshot but lost track of it.

Iceland. A rather scary collapse at the margin. From an amatuer outsider's view, it would be cool if all the Nordic nations used the Gripen. SAAB made some cool stuff in the past (don't know anything about Gripen).

Okay I got my SF patched up 2008, stutter free. What spots, what angles?

AUSSOM As to why the nonzero, you can potentially use deviations to achieve a desired effect. I have worked with this.

Maybe widesky changes the vertex height for some reason (if its not something else). Try zero if its not already.

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.
