Ok)) I was kidding)) Well the air intake plate could be used as air brake at low speeds (in game terms, when we dont need it anyway). In real it would break off at high speeds as it is a weak structure with a main purpose only to direct airflow into the vertical lift engine turbines. Of course it is hard to fly without the hover autopilot and stabilizer... In the Yak-41 this plate was set up as an airbrake also, and I left it that way, to provide an easy control. You will like it more, Im sure) It is not that difficult to slow down the plane, and once slowed down (gears flaps down + vertical thrust) it can easily maintain 120-160kmh which is fairly enough to reach the carrier. Target it as friendly and can watch the range. (the air control would tell it in real life). Keep the pitch straight, change altitude with thrust only. at about 1000m you may slow down to 70-90 by raising the nose a little bit. Fly it like a chopper, not a plane. roll for sideslip. You can even go on the reverse. Land on a Kirov for challenge))

In Vertical 1.0 I use 6 engines. At first I had 8, but i had to remove the 'fuel burners' due to erratic engine sound((( Airbrakes? nyahhh, that's a cheat, man))))))) :P I will modify the 38M avionics tonight so it will also use the new cockpit, too. Anyways I release 1.0 this week. Little skinning and texturing left... http://combatace.com/files/file/13679-yak-38-vertical-pack-098-beta/ the old one, though. Im not ready with 1.0... lazy ass

Arghhh... I want this... NOW ))))) It gives bitter taste in my mouth when I play the TW version after I have seen this one

For me this cockpit freezes whatever I do. I have version July2012 but I don't think it is the problem. Even my earlier INI's are bigger than this one, so I wonder what is missing... I suppose the engines? because everything else is irrelevant I think Ah yes... thanks for the hint. it is the missing EngineID=2 from the second nozzle. I gave both engineID=1 because it is the same engine in reality...

Sure I will be happy to play the Yak-38 with this model rather than that awful stock one... But, I can understand the feeling from Krisis' side... TW came out with a crappy model for both Yak-38 and Kiev cruisers. A slap in the face. Krisis, возвращайся! )))

now this is something really amazing. I did not expect Hungary will be included in this scale.

It would be great for WWI too... Balkans, Adriatic, and Italian front

A yea I wonder if it is part of the show....

Familiar feeling... I left the "army" after 7 years, and even though I had no full job since then, I did not regret. I swear I rather die than putting on any kind of uniform anytime in my life...

I was also pulling my hair out for similar stuff, and turned out to be a simple typo in the ini.... it happens with everyone

The stock ini has no [shadow] section... The folder name should match the weapon.ini but the lod name can be different according to the weapon.ini LOD entry. If there is no such entry, and the weapon_data.ini is also missing (or does not specify a different model name), the stock LOD will be used I think

Yea, the [shadow] section might be the culprit

((( I don't know then... do you have such 3dmax files of weapons which do show up? perhaps you can compare and find the difference... I have no better idea( I have fuselage over 3K poly and all the shadows are there. Even props spinning have shadows... Maybe... perhaps it is stupid idea and unlikely, but try debug mode and see if you have passed the total poly limit on the screen?

I suppose the bombs are missing the line castshadow=true in 3dmax object properties...

Smartphone generation.... LOL ...nevertheless, the perfect consumers)

Not bad at all... but I just don't understand any of these )))) May I present a sacrifice to the God of Subtitles? )))

I wonder if they planned this landing... it seems to me, as the ship was into the wind ... a strong wing of at least 20-30kts or more IMHO...

It is the cockpit ini of each aircraft. From stock planes only flyables have them

Of course I'd take the Sukhoi) It has built in pussy magnet))) Although some customization will be nesessary... like hidden racks for contraband)))

Mmm nice paint!! good job)

Nice job) Viva tequila)

To my best knowledge, the Forrestal class had no nuclear propulsion

Outrageous... One cent?? What the hell... a present from the taxpayers to the metal industry?? IF it was sold for one cent to someone who preserves it. But to give it out for shit to someone who makes profit out of its destruction... for free?? If they sell for scrap, ask for price... this is a treason. At least soviets sold theirs for money...
