Glorious Pics I was there on the Saturday mainly to see the Thunderbirds who were awesome - although Waddington really needs to sort out a better sound system instead of piping it through a tanoy system!!

What a guy!

It might be possible to have it as a separate gun group so you can toggle the modes using ; - but would need to check.

Yes agree there - might be why TK used to leave the lights on the AI jets so you could see them.

If the weapon has a SpecificStationCode then you would need to add that exact entry to the weapons station as well: [PhoenixStation1] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=5 StationGroupID=1 ....... SpecificStationCode=F14

Nice one

Currently the last one on here I gather: http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm

This is coming into service next month: Okay..we can dream - I think the next craft will be 2 steps back......

1. You need the exact and correct Weapons Editor for the patch version of your game. 2. Any reason you are not on the 2008 patch?

No surprise really any of it to me - seems it has surprised most of the NOTW readers though - and this pretty drastic action to shut the paper must be to avert a mass riot I'm guessing. The paper will be gone - but suspect the same group will just launch another with a different name - and carry on as if nothing happened...............

err...pretty sure left is the larger GE, and the right is the smaller P&W The block 52+ has the P&W engine which looks the same as the Block 25 externally when installed. The last F-16 photo shows GE Block 50s only - which AFAIK are the only F-16C/D block Chile received: http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article9.html

Looks like part of the 3D model either move the cockpit or try something like: [Fuselage] ...... ShowFromCockpit=TRUE <------FALSE

No thats wrong XP home 32 supported 1 Processor , whereas XP Pro supported multiple Processors- and this may have just been an MS licensing thing. Although XP Home only supports 1 Processor, that Processor can have as many cores as required - so long story short - it will support multi core.

There should be some sound files in the SF1 downlaod section that distinguish the AIM-9 tones better that I've used for years - IRgrowl.wav and IRgrowlLock.wav would need to go in the Sounds mod folder

Great news - many congratulations - getting any permanent job these days is not easy it seems!

edit: A Lightning Tale flip..... The Lightning radar display was literally pre-historic compared to the modern fighter. I can recall those stress-inducing missions on the LTF - one v one PI's. You would start line abreast and GCI would say "...65 target, turn port heading between 090 and 180, fighter maintain heading", then there would follow the inbound headings to point you back together, the idea being that, as the student, you had no idea of the target's heading. Now put yourself in the 'hot seat' - you're 25 miles apart, closing at 18 miles a minute. The clock starts now - you've 1 minute 20 seconds to work out the target's heading, height, speed and crossing angle. Then put yourself on the right geometry to make either a shot or a visual ident - OK? Well, in the time it took to read the last sentence, the target has closed five miles and you still haven't found him on the radar. Any second now and the LTF megalomaniac in the right hand seat is going to give you your first clout on the knee - if you're lucky! Your left hand is moving the scanner elevation control in and out, forcing the scanner to search that vast North Sea sky - not too fast or you'll miss him - and remember, the nearer he gets, the more you need to go 'heads-in' and check your own heading, height and speed. We must be at least 18 miles by now - there he is - yes - that little blip (a fraction brighter and thicker than all of the other noise) is the target. ACTION - well, in traditional LTF style at 18 miles it's all getting a bit rushed - hit the stop watch to get a time running, then watch the target's displacement over five miles and try to work out the target's heading and at the same time use the angle of the radar antenna multiplied by the range and then you have his height. At the same time, you need to sort out your own height, putting yourself 1,000 feet below the target. Now, as your aircraft goes up or down, the radar picture changes, so once again you're thinking of moving the scanner to keep painting the target. About now we must have hit the final turn keys - the moment of truth. These are a set of keys used by fighters to end up behind the target in a good position to fire. Without complicating matters, for a 180 x 8 (that is to say a target 180° - ie. opposite you, but displaced left or right by 8 miles) the key figure was 40° left or right at 12 miles. As soon as the target hits that 40° line, turn 60° angle of bank. If you've made a good assessment of his heading, it will work like clockwork - you hold your bank turn through 180 and bingo - you end up 1½ miles line astern if you thought it was a 180 - but actually he was on a 130° crossing angle and as soon as you turn, all of your turn keys will be wrong and you'll need to play the final turn more carefully - but that's another long story! Confused? I know I was. Now jump ahead 30 years. Put yourself in a Mirage 2000. In excess of 50 miles, I get a contact, maybe a few. Immediately I know his height (it's marked on the radar). I place my marker over the plot - press once and it goes into track while scan telling me his speed, height and crossing angle. I can also see what his IFF is at the press of a button. All of this appears on my HUD and is repeated on the radar scope. Marginally easier than the Lightning, I'm sure you would agree, plus I'm not looking to get behind him. All I need to do is fire my radar missile at him from around 20 miles - piece of gateaux!! Ian Black
