Eh...are you certain that the game is modeled that accurately? I mean, again things like ground clutter and "notching" (yes, a pulse doppler, dont get started down that road with me) are not modeled, so personally I doubt it would be effective. This is a game, not a sim. But, please do not mistake me, I like the way you are thinking. But, to my ego-soaked opinion, it is like you may be trying to have Waterford Crystal at McDonald's...

Now that is curious...have you seen (no pun intended) that with any other MF-release or any other mod?

Hmm...it has nothing at all with being new or n00b or whatever...the article in question was specifically addressed in the read me file included with the plane...the FAQ dedicated to the plane...and SEVERAL threads already So...to me, that is trying to be inflammatory under the guise of "I dont know any better"...hardly could one miss the discussion, so it would hearken back to the days of Stiglr and diefanboisim to me... Its like when a piece of heavy equipment has been locked-out / tagged-out and a person removes the safety warnings and ignores the WARNING signs and defies the Tech Order and gets hurt...then tries to sue for workmen's compensation... This fellow completely either blundered past every conceivable road sign and asked anyway...that is more like inflammatory than anything And then some people essentially called Column5 crass and insensitive to novices...FOUL FOUL FOUL...you are the one that is wrong...I have known Don for years now, and he has done more for the 3wire community than 99% of you combined...he has, if nothing, championed novices and gone out of his way to help people enjoy this game series even more. Furthermore, I completely disagree that there is a "disrespect for novices" as you say, in fact, QUITE THE CONTRARY, there is far more disrespect flung at people that have been partakers of the 3wire community for YEARS than for people that either can not read, choose not to read, or like starting trouble. Simply that. Explain to me how you see it any other way...just re-read (there is that word again) this post. Then go look at ALL of the places this EXACT matter was covered (and their posted dates) and tell me, WITHOUT committing perjury, tell me again that Column5 was being either insensitive, or disrespectful to a novice. You can not, save yourself the time now. And besides, seriously, listen to the arguments that have erupted from the F-22 release..."fuel tank RCS modeling" dudes, this GAME doesnt model radar ground clutter or beam tactics and you are worried about the RCS of a fuel tank? Bet it aint even there... And then the dozens of "how can they shoot me if I have stealth?"...you do not understand STEALTH...period. Had I released the F-22, then the damage boxes would have been omitted since some of you are apparently basing your ideas of the F-22 on the old Nova Logic game... There is no STEALTH...it is LOW OBSERVABLE TECHNOLOGY...LOW does NOT mean INVULNERABLE... Oh, now I am being insensitive...

Man...they call me a cranky fellow...dude what up?

Sweet Mother...cant people enjoy the 8 Gb of planes already made? Just a question...

Found a way to get the drones to look like drones already...let me know if you want it (made some other changes as well so that it is a true drone)

Stevo, let me say welcome and congrats! I think you will find it very entertaining, to say the least. Personally, the 3wire games are a bit lacking unless one remembers that they are games, NOT "sims"...a lot of iron details are absent...so if you want a true flight sim, look at Falcon 4 or even LOMAC with all the icing...but this series is a game, dont take it too seriously and you will have a blast. It only makes sense that TK made it that way, its marketing. Falcon 4 is enjoyed by a very small market...but look at the Ace Combat series, oi vey! Hey, if you have questions, feel free to ask, cant find something, just ask, people are more than willing to help. cheers

Can some one tell me what I did wrong here? Imported a 3ds max model into the game, hacked the ini files to get it to fly, but the plane is not viewable, though it is there...

thanks!

It seems the search function gets a bit distracted at times...have had issues finding things myself...

Final Countdown? I love that song!

I always liked the Bucc...and ugly? You phantom fanatics forget her name? The Double Ugly...

The ADV from avsim worked fine here...and I usually manage to screw things up quite well...

ah...thanks! will give it a go

Ooo...thanks...but I found, to my horror what went wrong...that speck you see behind the pilot...that is the airplane...scale went awry somehow...anyone know how to edit the scale of the model with out rebuilding it?

que bien!

FL950 ?!? Nice! Congrats

- "Ah!, that makes sense. I had visions of flight crew being given something of a death sentence, flying decades old rust buckets." Eh...no...that is the USAF...no, no, the F-15 is fine...just get back up there...no worries...I will be right here at my desk if you need any further re-assurance... Hey, what happened to that "Status of the USAF" thread...comes back as link broken...

Look in the sci-fi section of this forum as well...already discussed there...not the Bab5 part

Wow...this was the most I could manage in the mighty Foxbat...

very nice!

This is a very interesting thread...good luck!

fantastique!

- if only they had included a "read me" file...

I hope that it is not another matrix 2
