The pilot uniforms in the 4th photo down look pretty comfortable

Can you provide a screenshot of windows explorer of where you have put the files - and what files exactly are in the Vautour folder?

Happy Birthday Mr Fubar

bah finished 0-0 - you do pick em!

What! - rewriting a few flight models is putting you off

Already have a few things from the original trek so maybe - No idea on what to make of that Dont humans need some protection going at those speed though? - (Inertial Dampers??)

Nothing to stop you extracting it all and trying it out - AFAIK the FE engine has differences and has been kept a separate development from Thirdwires point of view - and Im sure others have tried in the past (I think the terrains are scaled differently from what I remember)

Nice terrain despite its age however...............would you trade that single Black Sea terrain for the very many different terrains in SF?

whatever.......does he get 35 years for the leak of information or leaking that he is also an ugly woman? A military judge on Wednesday sentenced Pfc. Bradley Manning to 35 years in prison, bringing to a close the government’s determined pursuit of the Army intelligence analyst who leaked the largest cache of classified documents in U.S. history. The long prison term is likely to hearten national security officials who have been rattled by the subsequent leaks from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. Manning’s conviction might also encourage the government to bring charges against the man who was instrumental in the publication of the documents, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/judge-to-sentence-bradley-manning-today/2013/08/20/85bee184-09d0-11e3-b87c-476db8ac34cd_story.html Bradley Manning, the Army private who was sentenced to 35 years in military prison for giving classified documents to WikiLeaks, has identified as female since childhood and wants to live life as a woman, according to a statement released by Manning’s lawyer. The statement made public on Thursday said the 25-year-old former intelligence analyst wants to undergo hormone therapy to help spur a bodily transformation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/bradley-manning-comes-out-as-transgendered-i-am-a-female/2013/08/22/0ae67750-0b25-11e3-8974-f97ab3b3c677_story.html?tid=ts_carousel

Didn't realise anyone had actually ordered any............................. Programme delays have postponed the delivery of 37 RAC MiG-35 advanced multirole fighter aircraft ordered by the Russian air force until 2016, instead of this year as originally planned. Yury Borisov, deputy defence minister, blamed the hiatus on the industry's "unreadiness to fulfil the contract". "We are shifting the purchase of the MiG-35s to 2016 and will buy 16 MiG-29SMT aircraft for now," Borisov says. "The finance ministry is not against this," he adds. Borisov's comments on 20 August follow a report a few days earlier in the Russian business daily Kommersant that revealed the order, which the paper said was worth $1.1 billion, had been delayed. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/russia-delays-air-force-mig-35-deliveries-to-2016-over-industry-snags-389723/

Deception and trickery formed a big part of the World War II effort, but it was film studio tradesmen like carpenters and engineers who took centre stage in the cast of thousands who helped divert German bombers away from British towns and cities. In 1939 Colonel John Turner, stationed at the Sound City Film studios which became better known as Shepperton, was put in charge of constructing an elaborate network of dummy airfields and hundreds of decoy sites. The idea was the decoys, which became known as "starfish", were placed near to areas at risk of being bombed by the Luftwaffe. Whixall Moss, north Shropshire, is one of 237 starfish established at the height of the war, and is being reconstructed as part of a nature trail for visitors to learn about decoys. 'Incendiary flares' Jim Stabler, from the county council and who has been in charge of recreating the 65 fire boxes using replica baskets, said starfish were "top secret" until about the 1960s. "The Germans used pathfinders to drop incendiary flares on sites to be targeted by the bomber and those flares were extinguished as soon as possible after they'd been dropped," he said. "The starfish fires were lit via wires by men stationed nearby to make it appear as if the area was already under attack. "It was an important strategy to divert the Germans and Whixall was of a chain of three that included Llandegla in Wrexham and Llanasa in Flintshire designed to protect Manchester, Merseyside and Crewe." He added about 700 bombing missions attacked starfish sites across Great Britain during WWII. Tom Goodhall, 90, of Carlton in Lowestoft, Suffolk was one of the men trained to activate the starfish fires at Langham, north Norfolk. "I was 22 at the time and trained in two hours about the controls and how to switch on the decoy lights. "We were on the flight path and expected to distract the Germans and bring them to our station, but that was in '44 and we never saw any action on our patch, unfortunately." 'Special effects' Huby Fairhead, from the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum and has written books on the wartime deception in the area, said lighting engineers were particularly important for the larger scale sites at Bristol and Portsmouth. "They were meant to look as realistic as possible and local builders enlisted to help were often sent to the film studios on a two-week course, "said Mr Fairhead. "The engineers taught them special effects - if they were building a decoy near a town where there were foundries, they might use strobe lights to give the effect of welding or to recreate sparks coming off the tracks in areas where trams were used. "And a pool of water with a standard lamp hanging over it might be used to look like a reflection coming off a nearby river or lake." Mr Fairhead said each decoy had to be constructed as cheaply as possible and would take at least a month to set up. Every airfield had at least one decoy and some had two or three, he added. 'Smoke and mirrors' The Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, which now runs Shepperton Studios, became a hive of dummy construction. "A lot of it would literally have been smoke and mirrors," said Gareth Owen, Sir Roger Moore's agent who has written books on the history of both Shepperton and Pinewood. "Dummy weapons, buildings, barges, tankers, aircraft and even dummy people were all made at Pinewood using canvas and wood which were then camouflaged. "Sheet metal workers worked round the clock to build sections of the Wellington bomber and I believe many of the flying aircraft they made were given names of film stars working at Pinewood at the time." So did the German intelligence know what was going on? Mr Owen said there were suggestions they did because the studio was targeted more than once. A plaque at Pinewood commemorates an attack in October 1940 which killed two young evacuees from London who were sent to work at the studio. As well as building the dummy aircraft, the RAF and Army Film and Photographic Units were based at Pinewood during WWII. It was from a photographic image taken by the German air surveillance teams that Jim Stabler has been able to plan the reconstruction of the starfish site at Whixall. Mr Stabler said it was unclear how many bombs were dropped on Whixall as the records are "very patchy" but Mr Fairhead said the value of decoys and dummy sites cannot be underestimated. "At the time it was thought they saved a few thousand lives, but in reality and in hindsight they saved hundreds of thousands," Mr Fairhead said. "The [enemy] planes attacked the decoys as much as they did the real towns, so if we hadn't had decoys the Germans would have attacked even more areas. "We could have lost the war without them, especially during the Battle of Britain - decoys were like one of the cogs in a big wheel." K: Decoy Airfield.

bumpy or bouncy ? you could try no5 on here http://combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-%E2%80%93-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/

I've seen nothing on any MiG-E project myself - was this another Stealth fighter? Nice video though AFAIK the new MiG-29K (9.41) Fulcrum D has similarities to the MiG-29M (9.61) Fulcrum E The MiG-35 Fulcrum F should surpass both on paper - although I would think Indian upgrades to the K might bring it close in the future
