Thanks guys. My old AS He 115 had sprung leaks in its floats.

Thanks for clarifying that Shadow Wolf. I didn't explain it very well. By doing so, you can hover a Storch over the Graf Zeppelin's deck or take off like a helicopter in it.

At least 7 children dead, 40 still missing. The video, photos, and stories will be truly heartbreaking tomorrow morning. It is going to be a long night. :(

Things have slowed down here a bit. A death of a friend will be taking my attention the next week.. So as I can I will address all of this.. Thanks for the patience all

I don't have your numbered skin but I think I see the same distortion effect with the stock model as well.

My prayers to the folks in Oklahoma. We got slammed here on the north side of town with one in '06 that killed several people. I keep a national weather radar site bookmarked to keep an eye on storms that might be heading my way ever since that last one. What rolls through NE Texas and Oklahoma usually ends up here within about 36 hours. Think I'll go check flashlights and stuff..... Anyone else who is east of that storm front best be prepared to hunker down.

When any tornado has a funnel base almost two miles wide, that's basically Armageddon for whatever/whoever is in its path, regardless of where it marks up on the Fujita scale. Horrible images coming out of Oklahoma this evening.

Yep, that's Lake Worth and I'm guessing that we still have guys who park their boats at the Marina in the morning on the way to work and after they get off around three. . .they head to the lake to go fishing till they can't see anything any more, lol. . . .excellent fishing out there.:salute:

Yep, for 21years. . . .lol

Hey All, They are no doubt using Hendrick engines!?! :mixedsmi: -ED-

Busch is shooting for 2014 :mixedsmi:

When I read the title, I was afraid that you were retiring (again)! Paying for your own domain when there are so many other options just make less sense than it did a decade ago.

If I remember correctly this was by Master Phillip M.. I have the files if anyone needs them..

There are still a bunch of other tornadic storms in OK and surrounding states. This'll be a day that won't be forgotten for a long time. I hope people stay ahead of these things and get to safety.

Alcock and Brown did it in an ex-WWI Vickers Vimy bomber in 1919. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_flight_of_Alcock_and_Brown Lindbergh (as Stiz said) was the first to do it solo.

My .bat looks like that but with way more instructions and some other cool things like START NOTEPAD.EXE Myobject_0.asm that will open the Myobject_0.asm for you. Than later on in the bat START GuidMaker START NOTEPAD.EXE Myobj.sca

I think that Vidal and Shadow Wolf have part of the solution for you. Many planes, including the stock MS CFS 2 aircraft, don't use lift in the flaps as that confuses the AI performance for some reason. Given that, I usually keep stock planes with stock flight models for AI use and then use a properly built air file for the player planes. I'm able to then get off of the decks, especialy, if as noted above, you have your CV steaming at 28 to 30 knots into the wind. Setting wind up is best done in the Mission Builder. The green ghost gauge can be set up to act as a catapult or super WEP, but it's been a while since I've used it. Perhaps one of our more nautically inclined members can fill you in on that. If not, instructions come with the gauge. It used to be available here, but if it's AWOL, you can get it at the larger sites.

Lookin' good Falcon. I'll bet that you were stationed there at some point in your career. In the early 70s when I was stationed at Fort Hood (3 hours south), I used to go to the BX on Carswell while visiting my Uncle who was stationed there with SAC. Watching a gaggle of Buffs blast out along with their KC-135s was a sight and sound that will live with me forever. The sky was black from the water injected exhaust of all those engines at maximum take off thrust. Oh yeah, there used to be fair bass fishing on the lake on the north side of Carswell. When flying my AS/Virtavia B-36, I generally take off from Carswell and fly up to Eielson AFB in Alaska and then often over to Thule in Greenland before heading back to Texas.

As a young lad, I just could never figure out how he flew that aeroplane with the gas tank where the windshield should have been. Still can't quite imagine it. As you all probably know, Lucky Lindy had rock star fame after that, and suffered the kidnapping and killing of his son possibly as a result. He fell into disfavor with the US Government due to his active membership in, what was it, the America First organization? He was stripped or resigned his commission in the army reserve over it all and was denied service with the military in WWII. As an employee of Lockheed, he went on to pioneer fuel saving techniques for the P-38s in the SW Pacific and if stories are to be believed, shot down a couple of Japanese aeroplanes.

Ferry and Francois, Thanks for the answer on my question. I suspected the same even before I asked it. I understand the sensitivities of Europeans, but the fully restored vehicles with authentic markings just beg to have a similarly dressed crew. At any rate, love the photos and I wish that I could have been there! I hope to get to Europe again later this year and I want to put the Netherlands on the schedule If I can, I will shoot you guys a PM and hopefully we can hoist your best dutch brew and talk about "Sonderkraft Farhzeuge mit Ketten und gepanzerte Kampfwagen." By the way, perhaps 20 years ago, while on leave visiting my parents in Western Colorado, we were driving on Interstate 70 between the small towns of Debeque and Parachute and there was a SdKfz 251 parked in the sage desert with no one about just north of the highway. It wasn't painted authentically, but was camouflaged none the less. It was in the middle of nowhere. I never could figure that one out.

Shadow Wolf, Use this Bf-109 as a replacement: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=54&id=15662

Kelti, http://www.mudpond.org/

Am quite sure you Crusader fans have visited this site: http://www.cloudnet.com/~djohnson/index.html The Last of the Gunfighters website A lot of great information there:) NC

So glad I could help:mixedsmi: Every once in a while (when not even looking for it) I will discover yet another FSX site I'd not heard of. This community is larger than we realize! NC

Thanks guys! The Turret Trucks sould work fine for any WWII install and the Zeppelin wreck sould work as a good stand in for any WWI install. Robert John Your Making Exploding Objects in Gmax for CFS2 Tutorial almost made me do

Sad to hear this. With out the C-162 gmax tutorial I would have never goten started. I've seen other tuts but they aren’t clear as yours.

I've had the same PayPal account since 2001. Flight sim, eBay and model railroad purchases all go through fine. Transactions go through quick, never any problems and no security issues.

Hey, If you're referring to sc7500, I keep in contact with him on a regular basis. Without going into extreme detail, Bruce (sc7500) has some major health issues, and goes through what I can only describe as sheer hell to try and maintain a modicum of normalcy, despite his health issues. The treatments he is forced to endure have pretty substantial side effects, including partial blindness, fuzzy vision, and other issues. Until they get things right again, he's taking a break from CFS2 because he can't focus his eyes enough to do any .dp work. I lift him up in prayer frequently, believe me.

The boy's gonna be sore by tomorrow, LOL. But maybe Vertigo will respond to your customer service ticket by then, I'm sure they've gotten others with the same problem. Still a very nice ship to fly on and off of, even though the LSO is on strike. :)

Once again...a real winner!!! Thanks Paul:salute: Ted

I purchased mine from FS Pilot Shop earlier today, and it's version 1.2. The download page says: "File Last Updated: Saturday, 18th May, 2013 @ 01:09am."

Nope. I did figure out the "pilotable" vessel and saved a flight with the carrier in Puget Sound. But as for the LSO, he's got pretty stiff arms by now. :icon_lol:

What would we do without them.

Maybe not rocket science, but something still isn't working. I edited the Vertigo Hellcat's panel.cfg file per the above lines from the manual, and also copied the FDO.xml gauge to the Hellcat's panel folder. Now the LSO appears in the panel window but there's no animation, he just stands there with arms horizontal. I flew several really lousy high/low/off-centerline passes on purpose to get a response from him, and got nothing. WH, is your guy working OK now?

Bravo Zulu K. Keep the BBQ going till I get there!

That would never work, Kevin. The impulse engine field modulators would interfere with the anti-gravity compensators if the atmospheric density is greater than 0.357 (Earth normalized), so the acceleration vector de-couplers wouldn't work, and anyone knows what would happen then! Hey, I heard Khan was involved in this movie. Is that true? That would be cool.

Nice! They'll fit in nicely.

Down safe at 36U. Flight Time: 01:07:15 Race Time: 01:07:15 Fuel Consumed: 199 LBS http://fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?detail=flight&value=LUwZqFidGTJHoR2np8gfHb48q48

Thanks Milt! I enjoyed perusing the site and discovered that I had never downloaded the Puss Moth. How in the world did I ever sim without it???? All your other aircraft have done sterling service in CFS 2 and FS 9 for years.

Good show Kevin!

Wow!!!! Great photos and thanks for sharing. That museum is on my list of places to go. That last photo is of an M-18 "Hellcat" tank destroyer. A fast, but lightly armored vehicle with a high velocity 76mm main gun. Reputed to be one of the fastest armored fighting vehicles ever. Hellcat link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M18_Hellcat

...wait! what? again?.... be sad to see the place close it's doors Milton but yeah, cannot fault your logic :salute:

I guess I should just bite the bullet and see what I need to do to get all my config files up to speed. It would at least remove one of the irritations about using ATC.:salute:

I can understand the frustration, considering that I use ATC quite a bit (why, I have no idea. . .it's not very good) and wonder why the controller doesn't recognize my airplane. In my case. . .it's ignorance, pure and simple. I just never took the time to understand the config file and how to make it correctly interact with ATC. In the case of developers, both freeware and payware...I have often heard them say that they rarely get to fly for fun anymore because they're always working on the next model and when they are flying it's only to check out the progress of their latest updates and corrections. . .they really aren't concerned with ATC. Looking at folks who do repaints, like SteveB says. . .most are done for free for others to enjoy and making sure that each skin has the proper config information so it shows in the sim is the primary concern. There are more than a few simmers who find the basic ATC in both FS9 and FSX pretty poor really and so they either try to find other ATC addon programs or just put up with what the default ATC gives them. The frustration level is pretty high anyway and so the fact that the controller doesn't say my "type" becomes almost secondary to why the controller insists on getting me to "please expedite your decent to 5000", when I was 20,000 30 seconds ago and I'm in a C-5 Galaxy.
