    Although I have Blackburns book in my library ,I've yet to read it. Sounds like that's now on my summer reading list. Strangely enough the Corsair is one plane that takes off a carrier without much trouble,so does the Wildcat but the Hellcat gives me fit's. Speaking of fits I had a total crash of CFS2 last night and had to uninstall it and reinstall,so now I'am rebuilding the whole sim.

    Hey guys, I know it's a little unusual for me to be asking this type of question...but sources for what I'm researching are extremely limited, and I thought y'all might be able to point me in the right direction. Whilst I am in the midst of working on a few projects, my scattershot mind is starting another one, and I'm struggling to find good sources. I am looking for information on the 20th Fighter Group...the primary operators of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning in the ETO until July of 1944, when they switched to the P-51. 1) They were based at RAF Kings Cliffe. 2) They flew a long-range escort mission to Bordeaux, France at the end of 1943.

    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.

    Lately I've been practising carrier takeoffs and boy is that frustrating.I put in the "take off from fantail" patch but it doesn't seem to do much good. Some planes will take off just fine ,other like jets and heavely loaded planes stall as soon as you lift off. I have increased the power scalar and that seems to work on some planes ,like the Banshee but others like a loaded down Hellcat just stalls every time. I've gotton to the point where I lift off without any ordance ,then add the ordence after I'am airborn, or I even use slew to get the plane in the air,but that's somewhat of a pain .First you start the engines and hold with brakes(I have CH rudder pedals) then lower flaps then go to settings and disable joystick ,because if you don't and hit Y for slew, the planes goes nuts.Then I hit Y for slew and use the keys for forword then gain height ,then hit come out of slew, hit settings ,enable joystick ,raise the gear,milk up the flaps and your on your way. Not very immersive. Some planes don't even have power scalar in their config file.These are ones I have to use the takeoff without ordance or slew them into the air.Any other suggestions would be welcome.

    I agree, a 90 lap race would have been just fine. I know NASCAR wants the All-Star Race to be something special, but this race is about money, no points, so a short, let it all hang out sort of race would be fun.

    I have downloaded the C162 tutorial folder and trying to decide the best way to package it. It is 135MB, 29 folders and 621 files. If you have MS Word, after downloading, you could change the hyperlinks to point at your folders, otherwise right now, the hyperlinks are useful to identify the folder for each exercise. Then opening that folder, you can simply open the index.html file to view the contents. A little cumbersome but not bad. Not sure if there is an easier way than editing the hyperlinks once the package is downloaded though.

    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.

    Hehe. Good question Terry, let's investigate... Quite simple, you would start up the impulse engines at .75 power and using both the shields and tractor beam, create a low pressure damping field around the lower hull. This would in effect, neutralize the Earth's gravity and allow the ship to gain altitude. Once sufficient height had been attained, the ship could have escaped the atmosphere under normal impulse power.

I knew from the get-go Danica would be fan selected and the 48 would win. No need to waste my time over a wrestling match with cars. It is all orchestrated to NASCAR's wants. There will never again be a "Pass in the Grass" at this fiasco. Caz

    Thanks everyone. The website host has had its issues for the last year or so and in spite of lots of trouble tickets, they continue. We had several domains and now have discontinued all of them. I have all the download files and raw page data so if anything is needed, maybe I can make that available. The C-162 gmax tutorials will not be available so if anyone wants that, they better grab it. I will be making all gmax source available again here at SOH if anyone is interested. I have not done any design work since January/February; just needed a sabbatical.

    Hi Nigel,

    I'm one of the fortunate people Milton invited to fly the beta Stoof and E-1. Lovely planes!

    Just wanted to let you know that I am Very impressed by the soundpack you compiled. You created a Stoof-sound one can only dream of. Here in Holland I have seen and heard the S-2N (Dutch Navy S-2A) very often and the sound is exactly as I remember.

    Thank you so much!

    Cheers,

    Nigel, you're a hidden "trump" card in the deck. An asset to everyone's best interests when it involves enjoying virtual flight to the fullest.

    I look forward to more ventures, while delving into the freeware extremes.

    Your a good man to have as a friend, and as a freeware entrepreneur.

    This all seems rather childish - is it because the Yanks don't get our sense of humour? Or 'humor', as they'd say: no 'u', no irony!

    Anyway, hope you're not quitting SOH. I've experienced some silliness here down the years, but it's generally a good place to keep in touch with the so-called Community.


    Hope everything's OK in Hellas - main news here most nights you'll be amused (relieved?) to learn - even the UK cares about the Euro.


    Best wishes, Ralf
