  1. thanks for the reply zur. well it was worth a shot anyway i reckon but totally understand. hopefully someday will come!
  2. ^love the classical rocks but last 3 times I tried the download was broken .. which is a shame:|
  3. Hi Zurawski! If you're still reading, is there any chance you could fix the shape of the nose Flying the sabres a lot since KAW mods came out, thought it was just me, but looks like there's some love for the 50s here...
  4. Things to evade: 1. bandits 2. wingmen 3. own bomb blast ..
  5. yes! thanks Sundowner and Ravenclaw!
  6. nice one looking forward as well. this thing's mig killer with 4 of those 20mil!
  7. hi eburger (/@sundowner), does this pack include the updated british phantoms LODs sundowner is working on?
  8. I've had that as well when flying the sabre. what's worse is AI break formation and usually lose altitude making it sitting duck for a2a. I went into, say, F-86E_DATA.ini and find HasRWR=TRUE and deleted it since the ac has no rwr. was fine after that. ofc the "firing" message is still there, but at least the "spike" message and AI evasion when being spiked is gone.
  9. all that matters to you lot, coz everyone of yas can vote retiring myself to more practical matters -->
  10. well you can't just look at money as money. in making it you also create something for others i.e. increased productivity. if there's no-one going for the $$ everybody will be living in poverty, stone age... sure there'll be no "classes" but who'd want that? if there's a national mob trying to take away whatever you create, unless you bribe and kiss, and successful in doing that which isn't an easy task, then the winners are usually not who creates the best product, but who has the inside connections even if his stuff is s**tty. from the pov of free market, the government can be considered a monopoly in every industry, much stronger than that even, since you cannot survive it with marketing strategies. however that's just one. for the average joe tho, can he say what he wants to; does he have access to, or have the chance to access info he should have; does he have a chance to defend his own rights; is he allowed to possess vital property; is he granted a piece of responsibility as an owner of his own nation and in turn responsibility for his own actions... that's the question i ask myself and my fellow countrymen especially those "ruling classes". yes you can keep them fed, a place to live and something to do during the day with cheap pay, but are they humans or just animals? for the US ofc those boys on wallstreet partied too hard, heck even my european friends say the states are very capitalistic. so the system is faulty, so tune it down a notch. at its core it still works. it ain't perfect, yup far from, but there's no better alternative, and at the least socialism ain't the answer. it offers some kind of stability but it deprives any chance of prosperity at the level of 1st world nations. i see so many western guys on the street and wonder what they're doing here. if it's for the cheap labor or stuff that happened 1500yrs ago or love of his life then ok, but other than that i'd like to tell him to go home... but sure there's still sovereignty (and well peace) here, apparently some others yet have it.
  11. ^ and ^^ ultimately depends on where and when u live i guess, i.e. what one has experienced
  12. heck i'm born and bred chinese but hate the commie bastards. since the chinese trade gate's opened in the 80s big changes have happened in our lives. i'd love to get more democracy over here albeit perhaps a wet dream that one, but it's sad to see NK re-trace the chinese old tortured steps.
  13. the one for the 1950s. as I have no idea how to capture screenies in those crucial moments when i'm too busy maneuvering, i had to make it into a video basically yep using the vertical against the AI. i'm outnumbered 2:1 sometimes even more in campaign flights so i gotta exploit the energy advantage. altitude of IP is 10k ft and by the time of merge i'm at 19. i find 7k a good altitude separation for the split-S, otherwise you either run outta turning room or gets just too much smash to hit anything. this is just an average one tho. my ai teammates did exceptionally well, but my gunnery sucked, almost got shot in the face, and my missed pass at the last mig15 cost me a AI wingy. generally speaking, i guess tis the takeaways... is that energy is very important for the sabre. in a tactical situation if you're slow the migs start piling on you like locusts. yes you can out turn this one but what about the next, it's not a phantom to burn away with the j79 and turn around lobbing sparrows. so climb climb climb at first then use the vertical, loops, high yoyos that sorta stuff and leave the throttle at max. high speed pass makes gunnery less accurate, but it's good just to do some damage or force the mig into defense shredding speed and alt. it's much safer and pays off in the long run (10min long vs 2min short lol). once the situations gets a bit isolated tho, like 1vs1 or 2vs2, boards can be used. boards are brilliant. you can have 150kts overtake at 1nm and boards will slow you down just right at shooting range. what's more awesome about the sabre is the energy preserve in turns. when meeting a mig15 in similar energy state it can just turn with it. after 2 or 3 circles the mig will have bled dry and sabre still has some 100kts of extra smash. at first i thought it was the poor AI handling, but flying the mig myself... nope can't keep up with sabres in turns. lastly, the weak hitting power of the 50cal is very evident. nothing to add there it is what it is.... does have a lotta ammo to be an ace maker on a good day tho
  14. lol didn't realize that... i think my love on the F-15's look is ruined!! heck the Eagle is still very potent today. compared to cat it's just different. if it's featured in a similar top gun movie i'm sure it'll be just popular! btw the (apparently) go to vid of eagle for anyone who's yet seen. more of an ACT than dact tho. gotta love those brevity!
  15. i see, outer one's too big. oh well
  16. my question was for the kaw F model sabre rather. there's a DL entry in the SF1 section http://combatace.com/files/file/6253-usaflate-model-sabres/ it includes a model with fence built in, and even better with less shadow issues i.e. on the wing. there's another one in nato fighters, 1/3 of model size with fence built in. so i wonder why the KAW pak used one with fake pilot fence which looks a bit odd and wonder if it's copyright problems. looked around current flight sims i still found SF the best platform to present korea era. i understand what we have available is already scarce so why not try to use the best there is. as for the F40 obviously the choice is slatted model... rgr that
  17. ?? If the slatted version is permitted for use but the 6-3 version is not, that's a damn shame
  18. i dunno if the extended wing on 40s are still called 6-3 anymore... speaking of which,, isn't there a 6-3 wing ala F30 model already available in the downloads, i don't understand using the fake pilot fence in the first place?... the 6-3 model even has less shadow probs
  19. like i said it's just me, and in any event personally i prefer the model size to stay "healthy" of course some fiddling is required when cross using mods
  20. same... in kaw camp i replaced it with the one from nato fighters as this one has very big lod size causing fps drops and weird crash time and then but that's just me
  21. eh... doesn't (obviously) F40 have extended wings without the fence?
  22. well thnx for the tips gents, at ease with upgrades now anyway. another tip by tk http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB3w/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3963 by my testing it doesn't affect the squadron the player's flying from i.e. player squadron will receive the upgrade specified in data.ini, but AI squadrons could be delayed
  23. well i tried everything i can think of... squadron entry in textureset.ini is the same, campaign unit data reference an entry in squadron list using "squadron=" and with/without "unitname=" but no avail. the skin folder name has to match. i suppose that's why in tk's and eburger's big release packs all the skin folders have generic names like "USAFSilverX" etc... but i can be wrong..
