Dagger

Dante...I must say I really the way you and your team are approaching this sim.I would love to see a very mod friendly sim BUT...I like the IL-2 approach.As this is based on a small scale conflict and having a dynamic campain you could play it a hundred times and it'd never be the same...also if you leave it very moddable then you'll ahve the problem of compatability and aircraft FMs and DMs being"tweaked"look at CFS series and you'll see what I mean.

I read at your site that the campain will be historically correct to begin with and will be dynamic in nature....I followed the campain(as I'm sure most people around the world did)and the most vivid memory I have is the image of H.M.S. Sheffield burning after being struck by a missile..will that be in there or can that incident be prevented(or will that incident be left out for because of the bad memories)?and will carrier ops for the British forces be moddelled with pitching carriers decks...and resupply be limited,as I'm sure it was in the real conflict.Also will the aircraft doing CAS missions be damaged by small arms fire from ground troops(not sure if that is possible or evensomething yall would want to do)...just courious.Also will the weather be changing...I mean it looked nasty on TV..but then periods of clear skys would show up.

I like others can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling right now so I'll just say a prayer for you and your family in this time of loss..my deepest smypathies to you and all your family and frinds.

ok after some positive feed back and a few problems I decided to go ahead and let the WHOLE Biohaz community try them. The known issues seem to be sky is too blue to some and very good to others,some are seeing problems with the sun as they break through the clouds during inclimate weather..others say it looks fine.if you have any problems please let me know as I'm still working on this,also let me know what video card you're using. The changes I made were on the clouds,mostly during inclimate weather(look at the clouds and let me know what you think...I've used Deuces sky colors(Thanks Deuces),I also"worked"on the stars so be sure to try a night flight.be sure to back up your flight folder..or if you don't like them simply delete the files. Hope yall enjoy them. AtmoshhereV3.exe

I have found myself looking inside myself and trying to find the words I'd like to say..like others I lost my Mother to Cancer,and I pass along my most deepest and heart felt sympathy to you and your family.I echo pcpilots thoughts to you.May God bless and touch you and your wife with his Love.I know it will be tough but I wish the peace and Love of this Holy season to you and your wife. SEMPER FI High Flight John Gillespie Magee, Jr ----------------------------------------------------- Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or even eagle flew -- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

I called Abacus and told them my problems with FD3 not wanting to load the carrier,talked with them for a few mins and they told me the fix was the update CD,even though the box saysFS2002/2004 I had an older version and they are sneding me the updated CD for no charge.In this day of"gimme all your money"gaming companies I found this very refreshing and this company has a new fan and loyal customer.

Falcon..if you get FD3 just check the box it will say FS 2002/2004 on it.if it only says 2002 then old copy...if you have an old copy they will replace it.took mine a week to get here...I'm loving it!!

Dagger actually was given to me by the leader of a clan i was in while playing a different game...said i was sneaky and fast on the strike like a Dagger.so that became it.i just carried it over to flight sims

SF doesn't like on board video...if thats what you're running thats your problem.sorry

that sounds very cool....I just hope that yall can figure out how to code in aircraft to shipboard ATC for vectoring and intercept info. this sim sounds better and better,I'm starting tro save up already.

I need to start reading the entire posts..my bad thought you were looking for A-7..my bad. :ph34r:

that Dagger_232 ,332 was another guy...glad it works.

my new system is AMD 3000xp +,512 megs PC2700,FX 5700 ultra 120 gig 7200 rpm HD .I'm getting 60+ FPS with SFP1 running maxed with shadows and mirrors on...finally got a system that can run games!!Thanks to my wife. ;)

Thanks sounds lik eyall are doing a bang up job.looking forward to seeing it or trying the demo if you have one..oh yeah what are your target system specs?

I also have FS2K with the 757 add-on with all the manuals,Flanker 2.5,Mig Alley,and IL-2. let me know if interested: dagger@biohazcentral.com

this begs the question will terrains be able to be added?and theres been alot of add-on terrains for SFP1 that also are better than that other sim,IMHO,the modding community has taken SF to a level that graphically is a notch above alot of sims and the add-on aircraft are great..will your sim be modable like this also? and will there be an assortment of mission types?

Striker the info goes into the environment ini that is included with the download...sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Squid,you can find the A-7 here at Biohaz in the download section.

agreed Beer...I did download and install the carriers only to find the graphics were cheesey at best and no arrestor system that worked as well as no cat launches.the aircraft don't look that bad and if i can find a F-18 that is better looking then i'll install it..same for F-14. Oh yeah..the deck crew in the downloaded carriers were"flat"from the side view.as was ALL the rescue and deck cranes.

gave up without a fight..good news indeed.

will there be a dynamic campain?and what are your target system specs?I know it's early in the development but I'm sure you have a release date some where in the back of your mind.will there be a big multiplayer option(I mean like the days of Red Baron with hugh dogfights of 15-20 people...IL-2 does that now).I have so many questions...will ask them as I get time.Thanks for what appears to a great sim.

you'll find them here: http://www.abacuspub.com/

very nice B)

DOH..my bad didn't read enough..all I can say is after reading that is where do I preorder?If my system will run it I'll be the first in line for this one.

check in the downlaods section and theres a fix for that.

I've been looking really hard for one but no joy...I've found several B-25s one of the best is free and you'll find it and it's fix for auto pilot here http://www.roychaffin.com/rcs-panels.html heres a payware B-25 that looks awsome http://www.maam.org/flightsim/b25/BT_CD_2_PR/BT_cd2.htm
