......Oh wait. Now how did that saying go again? It took chuck norris five seasons to save a town in Texas from petty criminals, meanwhile it took Jack Bauer one day to save the entire country from terrorists, and he's done it six times.

Lay down and try to stay awake. No matter how hard you try to fall alseep, you never will, however, if you try to stay awake, You'll always pass out before whatever it is you were trying to stay awake for.

hahahaha Well it has happened..... It'd have to be a deep snow to help at all. You'd probably be better off hitting the slope of a mountain and sliding down as if you were skiing, what I remember from physics class, the angle, duration of impact and surface area all affect the force so if you keep some vertical velocity going down the slope of a hill it's less force. And then the friction slows you down more steadily than a flat head on impact. You would be in really bad shape if you managed to survive a fall like that, ie both arms and legs broken, probably your back, all your ribs and plenty of internal bleeding. Not something I'd want to test out.

Yup, but no RAF land camo

Ah, yes, I had the lasagna.

You used UPS? Fastcargo would probably like to have a word with you....

No doubt about that from the screens, it just seemss the difference in appearance is disproportional to the performance hit. The new code for the shadows probably needs some tuning. But then again, I barely notice shadows unless its on the runway in a flight sim.

I worry for my system if he's getting single digit framerates. And the graphics haven't improved that much to warrant FSX framerates

So I guess there is enough interest, I'll upload stuff as I finish.

Errr she was like twelve when that movie was made.

IIRC some planes have an export end year in the ini so you can allow planes to show up for other countries, but also not show up after a time.

Yes, exactly. Or something like an F-22 in other services, cold war or WW1/2 colors instead of the silver/ghost grey schemes they'll all be in. Been doing this with IL2 skins and like the result, wanted to see if there was enough interest in it for SFP1 and FE to be worth uploading.

Who needs and osprey? PS. why was this tagged for mature content? Was there an exposed nipple in some obscure place nobody would notice?

Just posing a question for everyone. Would there be any interest in sets of aircraft skins that are fictional, but based off of historical schemes used in different air forces or time periods? Maybe an example would help explain. Fates posted a pic of an F-16 with a USAAC scheme with bright blue fuselage and yellow wings and 1930's roundels. I mean doing skins like that, or similar. A few examples using the F-14 and making early USN, WW2 colors, various airforce schemes as well as for other countries like Germany, UK or france? The idea was sparked by the thought "How would these planes look if they had been exported to X country, or if Y country had continued using this paintscheme, or had used a modern scheme when the aircraft was still in service?"

I've got an idea for india. Take the kittyhawk, buy the superbug. Then sell the superbugs to someone and use the money to buy Su-33s.

I heard he actually showed up on TV and proved he wasn't dead afterall. Can anyone confirm this? They really should end the embargo, the trade and tourism would bring Cuba out of poverty and everyone would wonder just why they put up with castro for so long.

Take that Wiimote! That is excessively cool. I imagine it will be pretty clunky at first, but think of 5 years from now when the technology is even more refined. Roleplaying games using that would reach a whole new level, flight sims with complex avionics, thinking instead of cntrl+alt+shift+every key. OR...star wars games USE THE FORCE! I'll still stick to my mouse and keyboard for shooters, the precision is necessary, but to map things like leaning, jump, crouch and use to thinking! No fumbling through jumping puzzles or awkward keybinding. It'd also do wonders for people with disabilities. Imagine the work that could be done if stephen hawking could write and work out his physics simply by thought!

I could have sworn I posted here a few hours ago asking where Jimmybib had made an F-22 template. I know I'm crazy, but I've never hallucinated before

I meant patches Re: GR.Viper

This is unacceptable from TK! He released WOI when I'm dead broke and can't afford it. It looks even better than expected and I have to wait :no2: Anyone on the F-22 team test if thrust vectored pitch control works properly now? It looks like so many little nuances have been corrected.

And SFP1/WOV and WOE! TK is always good with nice surprises

A real training Red Flag at nellis would be awesome, maybe even a requirment before flying combat missions. But there would absolutely have to be real combat or people would get bored fairly quickly. Expansion packs are definitely a way to go. Just look at the improvment of the FE expansion. But what exactly is meant by detailed carrier ops? How much would be purely aesthetic compared to having a real impact on the game?

Well, he kind of already said there would be no TW involvement, so anything would have to be a new engine. Unless he didn't mind licensing the current engine out and ending involvment there. That would be great as alot of backwards compatability could be maintained, which means aircraft and everything else available would be quite plentiful. Terrain does need a 100% overhaul to the point where compatability wouldn't be possible, worth it or wanted. One thing that would definitely get my funding would be an intuitive WYSISYG object placement for both terrain and mission creation. If we could hand drop in map details visually, the TW sims would look exponentially better. The aircraft and most ground objects are excellent already, it's just a mostly dead environment that makes them seem a bit dated. I wonder if TK would agree to something like we licensed the engine to do this sim and allowed him to use code improvements in his games free of charge. I've always thought a close partnership between a large modding community and developer would create an ideal and comprehensive game. Historical plausibility I think is better than historical realism. Not to nuts about made up countries like Dhimar and Paran (except for their roundels and paint schemes, which I rather like) But fake conflicts rooted in some reality are fun.

Some food for thought, a little bit of technical details that would be great to utilize in a sim too. A few ideas struck me not long ago doing moddable sims in different eras and genres. What if a common engine could be made that could service flight, naval and ground warfare in a fairly modular way? It was brought about by looking around for a modern tank sim. Not just a combat game with tanks, but something like a TW esque tank sim, moddable and cutomizable for anywhere between WWI and future. Then it drifted to naval warfare after getting Silent hunter 3 and enjoying it, but wanting to take part in surface warfare with battleships in the same way. A specific I think would be amazing for scenery in flight, or any sims: SpeedtreeRT It's been used in alot of games, from very high detailed fantasy like Oblivion, to RTS like world in conflict. Very flexible and scalable in detail, everything from 2d billboards (easy to display in mass from the air) to low poly 3d and very high poly 3d all from the same piece of data. TW's level of complexity in controling things like avionics is in a great spot. I'd love more complexity and ability under the hood, but it shouldn't be hard to operate like with F4AF Since any TW involvment is out it's kind of moot, but a specific upgrade to the engine would be in its texture use. A newer format like dds would be less costly on disk space while maintaining excellent quality.

x2 Like we were actually angry with each other? Hell I'm just practicing my pointless uphill battle arguing skills for being in the middle of it for a week in Atlanta! And I wanted to see the reaction to the crazy liberal playing the same card the right loves to.
