As ever we know FA - but the BBC say today: Georgian president has declared a state of war and is recalling its troops from Afghanistan. Russian jets are taking out georgian strategic and military targets in Georgia (kinda expect this) - bbc are reporting it though because an apartment block has been accidentally hit Georgia claim to have shot down 10 Russian jets Russia admit that 2 have been shot down Western countries really dont want to see this escalate - although its unlikely that NATO would be stupid enough to back Georgia militarily (I hope) This could cause energy problems for Europe if it goes much further - or just be an excuse to put petrol up even further more like - amazing how we care more about the price of petrol really! Isnt there anything else on the other channel btw

Engines for one thing - F-14A had underpowered engines (for the airframe) that compressor stalled under some situations - remember reading (not sure how true) that the first Naval female F-14 pilot stalled her F-14A coming into land - and ejected upside down into the sea (killed) - the GIB got out okay though.

Assume the Gunpods on backwards maybe??

Well if Falcon is as accurate as they say then the F-16 has a little CAT switch that dampens the handling (makes it sluggish ) of the A/C thus making it much harder to get above Gs that would damage it. For example if carrying any stores other than missiles on the wings you set the switch to catIII - and you will get a continuous warning until you do - so this is defo a way of limiting what you can actually pull (if accurate) Then when you have dropped your bombs (or at an acceptable weight ) then you will be warned to switch back to cat1 - which gives you full dogfight responsibility and agility

Heavily armed robots that sound gay - welcome to the world of tommorow - or not

[flight control] determines more to do with how the AI handles the jet (I think) The airframe is given a rating - this doesn't mean a jet is completely limited to this - although going over this rating for a length of time will damage the airframe it seems. Did the pilot say this was a sustained 9G turn for any length of time? - also i'm not really sure you can tell a jet is pulling 9G by just looking at it. no idea what the F-18E/F models are rated to - pretty sure the FA-18A/C models were 7.5 - 8G according to a test pilot we have on here.

But then again why are we allowing NATO to expand into territories they agreed they wouldnt (AFAIK) - does EU membership mean they have to join NATO? France hasnt been part of NATO for most of its history - there is no good reason we have to see how far Russia will be pushed - because they obviously are not happy. I really dont want to be part of pissing off one of the few countries that can wipe the face of the earth clean in 30 mins - if thats okay!

Surely the only UAV that would replace an F-22 would be the kind of fantasy depicted in the film Stealth - a fully autonomous robot with no dependency on a wireless link using part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can easily be jammed be any half developed nation. Only studied AI for a year so not exactly an expert but it seems to be a complete mash of different research techniques at the mo - several experienced researchers constantly put down ever getting to the likes of things you see in I robot etc maybe this...maybe that...maybe quantum computing (good luck there btw we havn't mastered simple binary comp systems fully :beta1: ) guess only time will tell

Can we just clarify here - you are trying to put tiles from Edwards Flanders terrain - into the stock EP1 wwicambrai The wwiCambrai folder is in a new format compared to previous terrains due to the seasons being added Open up wwwiCambrai.ini and you will see it makes reference to the snow/fall/spring Directories: [season001] Directory=Snow StartDate=1/1 EndDate=1/27 ScatteredChance=0 BrokenChance=40 OvercastChance=50 InclementChance=10 [season002] Directory=Spring StartDate=01/28 EndDate=06/21 ......... etc Dont put anything into these folders unless it specifically states it can be used with them - if anything you need a set of tiles in a subfolder exactly how they are in say "Fall" and maybe the tod files would go in the main wwicambrai folder - but am guessing here tbh Potentially you could rename the "snow" folder to snow_OLD then create a new "snow" folder with the files from the terrain you want to add in - making sure they have exactly the same names and are of the same type as whats in the the original snow folder.

Mutual thought throughout the UK I bet - the person who was keeping our ideas has probably just deleted the folder they were in

A-10 is almost in the F-15/16 category for WOE easyness as you say - your main enemy in stock campaigns is forgetting to put wing leveler on before making a cuppa :) - also the 2 AIM-9Ls it has mean death to all AI jets. I have done quite a few Hunter campaigns in the past - mainly because it is a more interesting challenge - in WOE stock campaign you tend to get out numbered, and its range is poor/ poor weps load/no power - often have to start running early due to fuel - thats before you realise that you are totally outclassed by the Mig-17F - and you can be caught out! - My squadron suffer very badly in Hunters - CAS isnt that much fun either tbh

Can you confirm that this does not help you?? http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showthr...ht=black+screen

Prefer things that cause pain to just fly at the mo : WOV F-104C + 2 x AIM-9Bs, A-1H/J, A-4B F-5A/C/E challenge in A-G but not in A-A - even had to jammy the F-5E flight model into the A/Cs to retrict their flip over manouverability. WOE F-104A/A-19/C/G, Hunter guns only Least used are the F-15/F-16 - too easy even after a major soviet AA missile overhaul

This was actually a few threads down - get in the habit of searching forums - you will find most of your answers that way no video link

I will look when I get back - but to simulate seasons im pretty sure you actually need a full terrain for each season - so for example if someone released a new version of winter then you would put those files into the Winter folder only - the other seasons would not need to be changed and would stay the same until someone did a newer version of them (hope u r getting this) Basically (i think) you only actually have 1 terrain with edwards set - and that would probably be summer if anything - just BACK UP the summer folder and take a look in there - i think you could just drop the files in there - but as i say am just guessing at the mo.

No idea - Try it and see

You should have 3 different folders in the download, low/medium/high - copy/paste in the one you want

A Red square is your current target - press T to target air, or E to target ground targets - this is nothing to do with radar - the yellow box signifies a radar locked target - so you can radar lock a jet you have already targeted - they are separate things. When you target something it will allow you to padlock it, get info on the hud, fire/ drop guided missiles/bombs and mainly so you can see the jet or ground target. basic iff - lock up with radar as normal - then press ctrl and R by default - this will target the jet also.

Be surprised if you can make that change in AF - but look around and see if there is a similar editor for AF (maybe Frugals) - I havnt seen anything like that though myself.

You could look and see if any other driver versions work? assume you have checked basics like defragging etc They all work on my GeForce7600 (forceware 93.71 is best for me)- but as ever I still get a lot of shimmering on the trees even with AA/AF up to max - the card hates tgas for some reason - i really need to sort it out sometime!

What settings are you using? Easy radar I think may place the jet in the centre from what i remember - and give you a 360 deg view - though have never used it myself. hard/normal settings should give you a more realistic radar which only sweeps in front of you (about 120 degrees ) - so your nose would be the bottom of the radar screen and all contacts would be in the front 120 degs only for example. Still gives a you a top look down view - but you will only know a jets altitude if you lock it up. thats a point actually im not sure if the radar represents B scope type display - where your nose is actually the entire bottom line of the radar display - will have to check

wow - check out that city shot - looks amazing!

Im sure people have tried - but they have to give up because its just sooo ugly

he was doing just fine I imagine - but was probably flying around with 2 enemy planes on his 6 and not really caring about it :) Have seen plenty of Migs etc that take ages to go down - even with 1 wing - cant comment on how realistic this would be - you would expect it to go straight down spinning around like a helicopter maybe.
