SayethWhaaaa

I love that Flanker skin... With the missile bay, you can activate the weapon but it won't fire until you open the bay. So if you fire two and don't open the bay, the next time you do open the bay, you'll have two sticks go screaming out. Same for bombs, ASMs etc. I'm pretty sure they won't track the target, they'll just fire out.

You mean Persis Khambatta... I mean whoever... Sh*t, I wish I didn't know that...

I've seen photos to that particular event, a couple of grainey videos and so on, but never had a clue as to why they did that at all. Cheers, that's been bugging me for a while now!!!

Here's a big plane catching a hook And a bigger one here... http://www.noolmusic.com/blogs/YouTube_Goo...t_Carrier.shtml Useful for arresting aircraft after landing (as opposed to them using the carpark at the end of the runway to cushion it's landing) and for use in short field operations, most combat aircraft have had them since as far back as Korea I think. The USAF, USMC and USN used and perfected land based arresting techniques in Vietnam when operating from short strips. It's not all that uncommon. It's more of a safety feature these days. They couldn't, say, land on a carrier since the stresses on the airframe can truly fubar an airframe, particualarly since deck traps are pretty intensive and sudden.

Holy Sh** Marco! You're my new hero! Can't wait for th-- any of them really!

Yeah I think I would too... That kinda scares me a bit...

File Name: Yellow Squadron Flanker Skin V.1 File Submitter: SayWhat?! File Submitted: 19 Feb 2007 File Updated: 27 Feb 2007 File Category: Flanker Skins This is a Yellow Sqn skin I made shortly after using the Flanker for the first time. However, there are a few issues, texture corrections etc I feel it needs but I won't have time to sort out just yet, so I'm gonna release this beta as is and make a more suitable skin at a later date. Make sure to read the readme file and make Erusea proud!! Big shouts to Marc and Marcfighters posse for their hard work with the Flanker and the skin this is derived from.

BUT SHE FREAKING OUT!! And it's on camera! How often do we get to capture it on fil-- Wow... come to think of it, I must be bored, I'm following this story way too closely... ...I got all excited at first, thought there was gonna be another Alien film and Brittany was gonna be the new Ripley.

Yeah, that'll happen. Depends on who makes it and what info they're using. A good example of Point of View having a direct bearing on how weapons handle in game is LOMAC. The standard version had the US weapons primarily dominant to begin with, but when the Russian company released Flaming Cliffs, the pendulum swung the other way and many of the Russian weapons were now superior to the US/NATO ones. Personally, I use the Weapons Editor a lot! (I use the thirdwire ones from here: http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm) I find just slightly tweaking the standard weapons gives me a more enjoyable experience when using them than the default weaps pack. I only usually edit the noise rejection and CM rejection to get sticks that that hardly get spoofed my CMs, HOWEVER, don't forget that if you make your sticks super accurate, they'll be a bugger to counter when you fly against them. Still, having a devil of a time making a QAAM from the Ace Combat series... might have to give up on that one...

My appologies if there's a stupid ad before this one. Not much happens for the first 30 seconds, but after... I laughed my ass off! Here's the link: http://www.spikedhumor.com/Article.aspx?id=83664 I wouldn't know whether I'd laugh while I was bolting, or whether I'd just crap myself...

File Name: Desert Flanker Skin File Submitter: SayWhat?! File Submitted: 16 Feb 2007 File Updated: 27 Feb 2007 File Category: Flanker Skins This is a mod of the Marcfighters whitenose Flanker skin to resemble a desert scheme, similar to the Ace Combat Desert Flanker schemes. It has the added bonus of blending into the Parani desert nicely too. All the hard work was done by the Marcfighters crew, I just "tweaked" it Click here to download this file

Nah, it's no good. I get an unable to connect everytime I try to download them...

Hey! A sandgroper! You mean like this? ...nah Just got a couple of issues to sort out with it, then I'll post it. Unless Kei Nagase beats me to it!

I can't remember exactly but I'm positive the VVS is looking to use the augmented 2nd/3rd gen Phazotron Phased array. But I can't find the source, so don't take it as though its set in stone. Plus, depending on what missiles are used on the fuselage hardpoints, up to six can be carried: This is a snap of a Mig-31M with the newer R-37s

Well, yeah... but I'm not that good in 5 mins :) Been looking to do a couple of mobius skins, particularly the Blue F-4E but it's just having time to do it. Either way, I just wanted to beat Kei Nagase at releasing another Ace Combat skin.

That'd be for SF/WoV/WoE. Sweet ride, innit?

Just looking to get in contact with Marcelo Silva, the absolute champion of skinning and other cool stuff, if anyone could help, that's be really handy! I've tried the email address from the marcfighters site and either he's really busy, or it's not active...

Nah, it's all good now, cheers guys. Also, I was gonna send it Portuguese too but you know babelfish...

Where else can I grab the F.3? I think the link maybe broken (at least for me)...

I love this series, but i thought the dialogue in "Unsung" was REALLY cheesy... By the way, I just want to go on the regimental record in saying that I was totally stoked when that dufus "PJ" bought the farm in Ace Combat Zero! I know he was supposed to be your wingman and all, but he is completely annoying! I tried shooting him down, I'd bolt from the furball so he'd have to deal with the wraith of the Belkans... to no avail. But when he takes that missile in the face from Pixy right at the end, I was cheering!

Shoot... I forgot about sundowner, and Wpssgt too for that matter, given that sarge's been nice enough to let me mod his stuff before And there was some other guy, think he was in the USAF... He wasn't bad either. Can't remember his name... Well, Marco's a champ anyways simply because he's now provided me with the platform that's gonna your butt outta the sky Mr.USAFMTL sir, uh... you know... until that stealthy Rolls Royce thingo takes off, after which I'm kinda screwed :black eye: But back on topic though, the email from Marcfighters is still active, yeah?

No, you ain;t crazy The Russians did use Mig-25Us for a while to train up Foxhound crews. But when the Foxbats were withdrawn from service, Lead In Fighter Training (LIFT) duties were transferred to pther aircraft, Su-27UBs, Yak-130s(?) and other aircraft including a small contingent of Mig-31s. The Foxbat did hace very similar flight characteristics (after all, the 31 was developed from the 25), so it made an obvious choice to use as a LIFT.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! Man, I had a day off work yesterday, I should have taken it today instead!! Alrighty, I've already got a couple of new skins made for this... just waiting for a reply...
