For the first time in weeks, I had some time to kill last weekend, so I started working on a new model for the F-5E in Lock-On (the old model isnt horrible, but it wouldnt hurt if it was a bit more detailed). This is just a quick render, and I havent done much more than just roughing in the shape of the aircraft, so there is alot of work left. But it would be nice to get some feedback on the model so far.

My computer crashed a few weeks ago and I've been slowly reinstalling apps and searching for backup data files. In the process, I ran across the following. I'm pretty sure it was posted here awhile ago. Anyway, it's still good for a chuckle or two: Rules of the Air 1. Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory. 2. If you push the stick forward, the houses get bigger. If you pull the stick back, they get smaller. That is, unless you keep pulling the stick all the way back, then they get bigger again. 3. Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous. 4. It's always better to be down here wishing you were up there than up there wishing you were down here. 5. The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. 6. The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating. 7. When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No one has ever collided with the sky. 8. A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' landing is one after which they can use the plane again. 9. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself. 10. You know you've landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the ramp. 11. The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa. 12. Never let an aircraft take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier. 13. Stay out of clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might be another airplane going in the opposite direction. Reliable sources also report that mountains have been known to hide out in clouds. 14. Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal to the number of take offs you've made. 15. There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately no one knows what they are. 16. You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck. 17. Helicopters can't fly; they're just so ugly the earth repels them. 18. If all you can see out of the window is ground that's going round and round and all you can hear is commotion coming from the passenger compartment, things are not at all as they should be. 19. In the ongoing battle between objects made of aluminum going hundreds of miles per hour and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose. 20. Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgment. 21. It's always a good idea to keep the pointy end going forward as much as possible. 22. Keep looking around. There's always something you've missed. 23. Remember, gravity is not just a good idea. It's the law. And it's not subject to repeal. 24. The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you, and a tenth of a second ago. Rich

Dang it! Can I start over? teh

...И еще немного видов. Правда, есть одна проблема - 30-тысячный лимит преодолен на 680 фейсов, хотя часть геометрии пока отсутствует. Придется оптимизировать.

На сервере ТАФ видел как в нескольких метрах над уровнем моря летел... авианосец! Его прикрывали 2 ракетных крейсера которые в отличие от него всё-таки плыли. Уничтожив крейсеры нарами начал планировать заход на авианосец для атаки его бомбами. Но капитан авианосца был не промах, понимая, что воздушный бой против Су-33 ему не выиграть, старый морской волк дал команду на.... экстренное погружение. Авианосец плавно погрузился в пучину оставив после себя пузырики на морской поверхности, похожие на след падения самолёта в воду, оставив меня на едине с самим собой посредине океана. Пребывая в некоторой растерянности скриншоты к сожалению не сделал (

Извините, я всего навсего имел в виду "нахрен", а дальше ... каждый думает в силу своей извращенности.
