  1. Running standalone MAP is black on mine - but zooming in will get the proper coloring. Yes the controls page is porked - the description doesnt match the control - but this only starts at some point down the page - have had to guess what to change. Assume "Vampire" call from Hawkeye is when the bombers launch missiles Iceland terrain - nice IMO - but I think the noisenormals just been bumped up due to the land shimmer I get. F-14 RWR wont pick up certain SAMs - might be out of frequency or something. My E-2C seems to fly over the Russian fleet until shot down - can still hear his voice though so assume he bails out and resumes from rubber dingy bombers are hard to take down with all their counter measures - nice challenge - not betting an AIM-4 would score any hits with that amount of chaff. Good selection of advanced Mig-23s Different music Cloud, viewlist and huddata have been added only so far.
  2. Happy Birthday Sony
  3. BMS is the way to go these days: http://combatace.com/topic/67422-dark-falcon-released/
  4. I'm sure their word is good this time
  5. F-4EJ probably - nice skin work!
  6. If you are on a recent SF2 patch you need to download it from Thirdwires site
  7. A brilliant read - hes a great character! In 82 the SHARs had no hope of intercepting the Super Etendards launching Excorcets from the mainland anyway - lucky they only had 5 of the air launched missiles or the fleet would have had to retire - thats one reason F-4Ks were needed with an airbourne AEW and lookdown capability.
  8. At a guess about 1974 to 1988 by default - but this can probably be changed anyway Probably wont include passive IR detection
  9. I would put money on Man Utd winning it as well - people have been saying how bad Man Utd are for about the past 6 years - yet they are still at the top and still look very strong 95% of the time.
  10. Worryingly I can still see Man Utd taking the title though!

  12. The popular perception of a PC / Mac is currently a tower / desktop base with some pheripherals. My point is though all you are replacing is the computing architecture - whatever you buy in the next 5 years will still need a display and input devices - whatever suits your needs. If its historical flight sims - you will still have a joystick and rudder pedals, a head tracking device and a suitable display device. If you need accurate input and a steady hand then a mouse will still be required. For text input a physical keyboard will still be there - its quicker than anything else out there and you can feel the keys and where you are on the keyboard without looking down (and so superior to a virtual KB)- speech will never replace it on the fact that you dont want anyone to know what your are typing - handwriting recognition is a joke for the same reason I dont hand write letters anymore - far to slow and too much effort. 100 years time - predict a device that just reads your mind and inputs that :)
  13. What ever you buy after the current PC - will still essentially be a PC - just one that you cant easily upgrade or replace parts when they go wrong - (similar to modern cars) Mac = PC, iPad = Tablet PC, iPhone = pocket PC - all works pretty much the same way - all use derivatives and modified versions of the same old Operating systems (Unix / Minix, DOS, Windows NT). Generally people will buy whats suits their needs - I have a company iPhone - useful at work for basic remote testing, taking photos of faults etc - all the things a PC cant do - but can be tedious then for the real work I sit down at a PC which runs all the things the iPhone / iPad cant on a nice big screen. In the future the device that suits my needs best is what I will buy - I could for example buy a single powerful PC with Windows 10 - and run any other OS that ever existed in VMs - and have the power to run any program or game in the VMs. And working remotely In the future - with more powerful smartphone PCs could again allow me to put multiple Operating systems on them so I can use iOS/Windows 10 or Android depending on the programs I wish to have.
  14. Could be windows update related - you could try uninstalling some recent updates from the time it started happening - or something could generally just be screwed in Windows causing the problem.
  15. Can you cut and paste out your Mod folder and run it as a stock game to see if the same thing happens?
  16. Sorry to hear that - but good to see you back - hope things turn around for you
  17. Damn thats a shame! Surely you mean there's a Yoke in there somewhere
  18. Picked up a study called PILOT ERRORS INVOLVING HEAD-UP DISPLAYS (HUDs),HELMET-MOUNTED DISPLAYS (HMDs), AND NIGHT VISION GOGGLES (NVGs)(IDA PAPER P-2638) - which is study into pilot errors including spatial disorientation - and it goes into a lot about how the human brain is not so good interpreting digital displays - particularly HUDs and it thinks analogue dials are far better - which may explain why glass (tft) cockpits today have a lot of analogue dial representations - and that bloke in the F-16 vid is telling the pilot to look at the primary dials. Making stupid mistakes is part of being human - hands up who has left the gear up in flight sims under no preasure (even after the radio tells you to check gear). I'm still not convinced the gears down sometimes 8 seconds after pressing G (admittedly in SF most pits don't have the gear lights).
  19. Now thats high end! Is that Sidestick controlled?
  20. Thats brilliant
  21. Photo 2 looks pretty good
  22. Okay - upgraded F-16 unveiled Lockheed Martin announces new F-16V at Singapore Air Show Lockheed Martin unveiled a new version of the F-16, which will include an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, upgraded mission computer and improvements to the cockpit. The "V" designation is derived from Viper, the name fighter pilots have called the F-16 from its beginnings. During a presentation at the Singapore Airshow, George Standridge, vice-president of business development at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics noted that most legacy F-16s can be upgraded to the F-16V standard, which is roughly equivalent to the F-16 block 60. With nearly 4,500 F-16s delivered, this is a natural step in the evolution of the world’s most successful 4th generation fighter. The Fighting Falcon program has continually evolved as it began with the F-16 A/B as the lightweight fighter then transitioned to F-16 C/D and Block 60 versions as customers’ requirements changed. AESA radars offer significant operational capability improvements. Lockheed Martin has developed an innovative solution to affordably retrofit this key technology into existing F-16s. The F-16V configuration is an option for new production jets and elements of the upgrade are available to most earlier-model F-16s. The F-16V is intended to satisfy customers' emerging needs and prepare them to better interoperate with fifth generation fighters such as the F-35 and F-22. As for V upgrades, Standridge mentioned South Korea's requirement to upgrade F-16s and the U.S. Air Force's interest in upgrading 300-350 F-16s. from http://www.f-16.net/news_article4521.html

    LEBANON

    Spot Kim Jong Uns properties
  24. Is the folder you put the files in called Terrains and not Terrain?
  25. Where did you save them? Unlike the first series of games - all Mods in SF2 must go in the special Mod folders – which will be in a totally different location on your PC to where the game is actually installed!! On Xp they will be here (By default) C:\Documents and Settings\<Name>\My Documents\ThirdWire\ On Vista / Seven: C:\Users\<Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\
