MigBuster

Amazing to think they have been going this long - I have Israeli pilots accounts for saying that MiG-19s were poor jets and easy targets - although suspect the Arab pilots had something to do with this. VPAF pilots are quoted as prefering the MiG-21(Faster) or MiG-17 (More agile) to the J-6. What did the Chinese see in a jet that the USSR didnt? Wasnt like they couldnt produce more advanced copies of Jets - like the J/F-7 even.

So in your games you can use the missiles with certain jets , but not others? Check the attachment types of weapons pylons on the problem jets themselves (ie Mig-23xz_data.ini) - here are some basics but expect you will get the idea after some experimentation: [RightMissileBay] ..... StationID=4 <------this is the number of the station in the loadout.ini if you didnt know StationGroupID=4 <------This actually controls its grouping on the in game loadout screen - very useful!! ................ NumWeapons=2 DiameterLimit=1.164 <------if the weps diameter is larger than this - it wont show LengthLimit=4.021 <---------If the weapon is longer than this it wont show LoadLimit=250.0 <-------If the weapon is heavier than this it wont show AllowedWeaponClass=IRM,SAHM <-----If the weapon isn't one of these then it wont show SpecificStationCode=AIM4 <----If the weapon does not have this code it wont show AttachmentType=USAF <--------if the weapons attachmentcode is different to this it wont show .......

The weps editor for SF1 actually works on Win 7 without changing the comp mode for me - however if I copy it into Program files - it doesnt even open - so again I suspect you have it in the wrong place. Cut and Paste its folder out of program files to the desktop and try again (this is NOT the same as putting a shortcut on the desktop to it btw)

Basically you can just paste in the img code - you just need the [/img] tags around the URL eg [img=http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/img00060-4.jpg]

1. You need the correct weapons editor (Dated 20th Feb 2008 I think) - can you even open it up? 2. In the data ini for the jet make sure the correct name is listed on the pylons - eg [CenterlineStation] .......... PylonDragArea=0.02 FuelTankName=Tank300_F18 <------------- Also check other 3rd party tanks to compare and ensure you have the correct references for the lod names etc

Truly amazing story - thanks for sharing - a great man indeed - and a shame about the ending!

I'm pretty sure that France will not match that Zidane Headbutt from a few years back haha

If its not in Program files or x86 then thats pretty weird behaviour - have not seen that before - can you make a copy of the whole folder , stick it on the desktop and run it from there and see if there is any change? Have you set it to run as admin in its shortcut? might be worth changing the compat mode too.

It doesnt look like it Im afraid - besides you actually need to use the mouse to click on the buttons in the 2D cockpit. For a flight simulator like this you should be using a joystick only, using the keys are a poor secondary - and I cant see how controlling it with a mouse would be any use at all. When you move a joystick - for example to pitch up (pull back) you dont just move it from one position to another - it has many positions in between that determine how much or how little the flight surface moves.

in the decal.ini check decal level - needs to be 2 i think also - slashes in path should be \

Where have you installed it??

If thats true - it makes no sense to me - like a lot of things in this conflict. Why would Pakistan fight them with the Army but help them via other ways? - this doesnt help them in any way!

If its any use - this is from former senior F-16 Test Pilot Joe Bill Dryden: This negative static margin provides one reason the F-16 turns as well as it does. What you may recall from Aero 101 no longer applies when you try to evaluate the F-16. I’ve seen articles in Air Progress that show how the F-15 will turn so much better than the F-16 because the F-15’s wing loading is lower. But this is where people get in trouble, because you can no longer apply wing loading to come up with a prediction as to how the airplane will turn. Let me explain this. Since the F-16 is negatively stable, the tail is lifting in order to control the AOA (while you’re subsonic). And while the center of pressure shift is such that the F-16 6 is positively stable when you’re supersonic, the amount of down force necessary to keep the aircraft trimmed to a given AOA is less than conventional fighters. As a result, the total lift acting on the airplane is more for a given AOA; therefore, the resultant induced or trim drag is reduced. Less drag of any kind means better sustained turn and cruise performance. Also, the F-16 has been designed to take advantage of the vortex lift generated by the strakes. This vortex is what you see trailing back on both sides of the F-16 when you turn it hard in moist conditions. They are not there just for more oooohhs and aaaahhs at air shows. As a result of this vortex lift, there are areas in the flight envelope where as much as thirty percent of total lift is coming off the fuselage. If you fall into the same trap that Air Progress did and take the gross weight of the aircraft divided by the projected wing area, you’ll come up with a wing loading of about sixty-five pounds per square foot. But (and this is a very big but), when you add in all the contributions of both tail and fuselage lift, you’ll come up with a wing loading of about forty pounds per square foot. Now you’re talking late World War II wing loadings. Can you now understand why you keep hearing, "I never thought you’d be able to make that corner!" Heard that in some of your debriefings? Ah haaaa! Then maybe there is some method in their madness. So it’s really a combination of these two things that gives the F-16 the different characteristics we have to account for when beginning to fly this multirole fighter. The negatively stable aero and the rate command flight control system both go to make up a fighter that’ll perform like no other!

Formation flying

pah You got the luck - thanks to Robert flippin Green!

It was close - the US did well and held in there - and got some help from our keeper too

Good luck tommorow - youre gonna need it

Thats a great video - had no idea there were so many left flying

Basically keep your speed up in the battle - drop the speed for long (in SF2/E/I) and you will be hit - there are probably good tips on older threads - worth searching

What patch is your WOE? Oct 2008 When was the Widesky mod put up there? - if it puts in older ini files that might be the cause of the problem at a guess. Assume it only happened after putting widesky on?

Yeah with gen 1 games you need to upgrade to Oct 2008 - or change a few shaders if sticking with old versions on Vista/7 - as per the KB

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8712806.stm Work starts in £15m plan to get Concorde flying The engines on a French Concorde are to be examined as the first move in a £15m project aiming to get the supersonic passenger jet back in the air. The Rolls Royce engines of the former Air France Concorde will undergo an initial examination to see what work needs to be done to start the engines. Concorde was retired seven years ago, but it is hoped the jet could return to flight in a heritage capacity. The tests by a French-British team will take place at an air museum near Paris. The work at the Le Bourget Air and Space Museum is being done through a partnership between the British Save Concorde Group, SCG, and a French group Olympus 593. 'Critical date' Vice-chairman of SCG Ben Lord said: "Today marks the most critical date in Concorde's history since she was retired almost seven years ago. "Two members of our management team are in France this weekend to observe these amazing developments. "SCG has always maintained that she could return to flight in a heritage capacity, and the findings of today will hopefully go an awfully long way to proving our point. After today, we will know exactly what needs to be done with those four engines Ben Lord, vice-chairman SCG "This is just the beginning, but we are delighted and privileged to be working with a team of skilled Concorde engineers who both worked on the aircraft at British Airways and Air France." The tests will first establish whether the engines can be safely started and whether the aircraft could complete a ground taxi. Mr Lord said: "After today, we will know exactly what needs to be done with those four engines in order to take this to the next stage of engine test runs with an objective to hopefully perform a ground taxi." It is hoped the jet will be able to fly as part of the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. Meanwhile, the trial over the Concorde crash that killed 113 people in Paris in 2000 ended on Friday after four months. The Air France Concorde crashed soon after take-off, after hitting a metal strip from a Continental jet that had taken off earlier. The French court said it would give a verdict on 6 December.

A lot of AI pilot will get into a slow turning fight regardless of jet :)

Good luck - hope its goes well

What year are you flying in? - is this single missions?
