  1. Unfortunately, no. Like I said above it's from 2003. The model maker has long since left the community. If we had the MAX file, that would be great. To be able to fix the mapping, map the unmapped sections (the roof of the island and antenna farm), add box launchers and guns, etc. Even if we can't get a (easily) working VLS, I'd settle for having them "pop out of the deck" at nearly any angle!
  2. Hmmm.... wonder what the armor value is for pykrete?? (nah, lets just leave it as steel) That deck should be big enough for AF medium bombers, too. And Hercs! Even without arresting gear, and would need a different yoke for the cat shot. Or a rolling take off? JATO shot? depending on the overall weight, I suppose (re: World War Z)
  3. Thanks! Wait till you the actual SIZE!!!
  4. Most of you all, even the Old Hands (tm) have probably never seen the ship depicted below. It comes from "The Factory Place" circa 2003. Yeah, THAT old!! Amongst all the various buildings we're still using is this Monster of Seas (tm). I actually got it working as a full use carrier, as you can see it's repainted, and yes those are standard game generated Hornets parked on the deck. Gives you an idea of the size. I call them (there's 5 named) the Goliath Class CVBN carriers. The birds take off and land pretty good, actually. I used bits and pieces from the 3W Nimitz class data ini, and rearranged locations to fit the enormous amount of available real estate. I know the forward cats could be shortened (moved forward), and that's an easy repaint and ini edit. That would also (possibly) add more parking spaces. There's 18 right now. What I need to figure out is, for one, the damn ship number deck decal(s) and ship name on the stern aren't showing up in game. They do in the LOD viewer, but not in 'real life'. The other is trying to get the air defense Sea Sparrows (also borrowed from the Nimitz) to be VLS(ish). Because, as every one can see, there's no box launchers in the corners. Same can be said for possibly added CWIS. "Fake Weapons" have been used in the past, so it should just be a matter of locating them. So, I'm looking for volenteer(s) to give this a shot. Respond here, and/or PM me if interested. The LOD itself has many issues, but they are ignorable. T Also, if anyone is interested, I expanded the names list for the CVN-68 (Nimitz), now including the full class. BTW, 3W gave us 99 hull number (USNCVnum) decals, and the new listing show up nicely. Will give them a lifespan well beyond 2055 (or so). thanks!
  5. i "THINK" the values are the normal ones used, probably meters per second, like the speeds in the Flight Control section at the top of the data ini. But, correct me if I'm wrong! There's also "smooth deployment" that can be used for slats and such
  6. F-14 avionics dll doesn't have the ability to do ground mapping radar
  7. Is this in the right Forum?? Is the question related to 1stGens??? Just wondering, 'cause if its for SF2, I'll be glad to move to The Right Place (tm). =========== To answer the question; No. Like Gepard said, the game assigns ONLY one target per mission. Now, OTH, it don't mean you can't bomb the shit everything around it. As for The Range, there's nothing like practicing The Craft of Putting Iron On Target withOUT all the Bad Guys shooting at you. They why we built those terrains. And upgraded them innumerable times (NOW!! With Water Features for your Anti-Shipping needs)
  8. Flight testing on the Tracker is on hold for bit, as I discovered that the USN skin(s) have compelty wrong serial decals*. So, back to the paint shop for now. As is my habit, there'll be 1 Pacific fleet (actually, there's 2, one a new one by me), one Atlantic Fleet squadron. It came with a skin for VT-28 (training unit), and I think it needs new modex and BuNums as well. Will resume flight testing with carrier quals (to make sure it gets back on the boat) as soon as the paint dries. below is the new skin for VS-21. All BuNums matched to Modex * the Argentine, Venezuelan, Brazilian are all correct
  9. and paitence, and an inordinate amount of time in research. But the end product, is worth it.
  10. We've know for many years, going back to SFP1, that the night sky is pretty accurate in this game. While I was looking for something else (why the skies are purple in NA for some unknown reason) I looking into the EnvironmentalSystem ini and found this listing. Now, I'm not one of those Guru's like Stary or some others are (more down on the ground for me) But check this out: In 25 years, I just never thought that the stars would actually use their spectral class. To say nothing of lunar phases, and sunrise/sunset time based on latitude (if terrain has it listed) For a 'sim lite', that's pretty advanced.
  11. One of my absolute favorite Elvis songs!! Well done!!!
  12. because some newbie was whining, totally ignorant of the new site policies. posted for all to see, that perhaps - just perhaps- someone'll get a clue

If you don't have it, you should ignore this, and just get the Full Terrain (tm), as it has already been updated with the rebuilt TODs and other additional repairs and additions. See full Change List below in the "Notes" section. As always, PLEASE read the install instructions, and the accompanying Notes and Other Nonsense for more details on other needed items.
