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.

Try one. They should be free downloads. Maybe the readme says something about this.

Other than FB/PB, has throttle jamming ever been modelled in the Sims? I enjoyted the challenge in Oleg's sim is stuff like -262 and YP-80 where you have to be very gentle with the throttles, at least at the low end.

Look in the Utilities/Editors download section

Sweet body, femimumum muscles. Better looking than 90% of Ussian McWomen. She didn't know how to apply facial makeup for the screenshots. Still, epic thread and dam funny. Saburo wrote about that, coming home to Japan after his first encounter with US NAVY. Super ace, and people frightened by his face. A christian mag had an article about Ussian Air Force fighter pilot in training, T-38 crash left him a quad. This stuck in my mind for some reason, I read it as a little squish. This is how we deal with the possibility of it happening to "us."

Timmy:: Be careful of random variables in damage creation. This is something you need to ask TK at Thudwire. The FM -- I have only glanced at it once so far. I've been working alot, tired, and I got pretty much StrikeFightered out sometime after Patch 2008 and only now admitting it to myself. FM is kinda stressful to me...work. I hate working when I get home. The weirdo stuff I always do is pure fun, but even that I'm giving a break now.

Man this is great stuff. Yep, this is best for nucs or lots of regular bombs. For air drag, you might could setup drop tests that you can read off the distance to impact...Setup a strike with the weapon, altitude, and *airspeed* you wish to use -- and use consistently. Drop anywhere -- but assume target is sea level -- on the map, and record the drop coordinates from the FULL debug data display, then use Weapon View to record the impact coordinate, wherever that might be. Use the x,y coordinates ONLY to get the horizontal distance between the two positions. That's your drop distance from target. This should work, unless I'm missing something (usually the case). This will change if target is significantly higher than sea level, requiring further tests. Instead of relying on a distance to target indicator, one could use a bomb sight. I usually just use an enlarged gunsight highly depressed. Another thing talked about here was drawing on the radar.bmp some bomb drop indicators, to drop bombs using the ground mapping radar as a form of all weather day/night bombsight -- works above clouds and at night. This was new to me: Did you know that the Canberra bombers were primarily "built" for high altitude visual bombing...above 40,000 feet! The series never got bombing radars in sufficient numbers, so they added a bombadier with glass nose. Good read ~> http://www.vectorsite.net/avcanbra.html

I dunno. Rome solved piracy in The Meds with warships. But then, that Empire was no pus. Wooden oars, iron men.

That is smooth, wow. Really classical.
