  1. Ready for release yet? Good in RAF colours :D
  2. Would be interesting to try it but I bet it'll make you feel sick playing games like that, and you'll end up delusional and be locked up for a long time. Would that really be healthy for your eyes to view a screen that close?
  3. And with their current military programmes who's to say that they don't have nuclear tomcats. Unlikely but it's a possibility.
  4. True, but it would be fun to play the 'pilot who lost it after his wife ran away' and wreak havoc within civilian airline flight routes of populated cities just once and in a game of course :P GTA:Airborne :D
  5. I recall reading it in a book I had about the F-14 about 5years ago, don't have the book anymore but if you can find one in a library or somewhere it could give you that information. This book here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grumman-F-14-Tomcat-Jon-Lake/dp/1880588137/ref=pd_bowtega_3/203-9999033-7834346?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181490542&sr=1-3 Oh **** if I had known it was going for that much money I wouldn't have given it away to charity! Please could someone confirm that the prices of the book in the 'new & used' section is an error? I recall spending a tenth of that on my purchase. :(
  6. Haven't they been doing that for quite a few years now? Check out the An-225 this Buran is carrying :D
  7. Yeah why is that? I would have thought with all the people working on making complex mods that install within the fsx code in complex ways that someone would have figured out how to add weapons and damage models. Or is it that no one wants guns and fighting in a civilian flight simulator?
  8. Found something that might help answer you're question, not specific to Russian citizenship but it does apply to Americans as you mentioned above. (unless you are from another nation all together and are applying for two new citizenships :P) http://www.richw.org/dualcit/
  9. Surely you'd have had to have lived in Russia for a long time too, to be able to aquire the citizenship?
  10. You can still ask the rest of us, we also have charm, personaility and whit. :D
  11. Would it be possible for ED to add a spare slot for this in black shark? not for them to have to add it into the game or doing anything to distract them from building BS but simply to have a slot with 100 free arguments or whatever. This mod has so much potential it would be a shame for it to be limited to what has currently been made.
  12. Heh and you got the playboy scheme the navy hated seniors :D 4 pack would save me the effort, I like them all.
  13. That's because you need to scale it correctly, no idea how as I don't model things, and no the scale does not effect poly count. It is highly detailed that's why it says 200k+ Ha and ED said to us that the new models won't change the frame rate in game, I find that hard to believe with such great new models. By the way Gys is your tornado going to make it into Black Shark? It should do :D
  14. Will there ever be a way to add extra arguments to LOMAC? I really like this mod and the ideas you have, having animated figures populating airports is definitley needed for the atmosphere in the game. Makes it more atmospheric then the ground vehicles in FSX. I like the fact they are low poly too, means we can have plenty around. Good work :D
  15. I love tomcat paint schemes. Yeah like that one, the VF-84 is great too. These up for download somewhere?
  16. No I was messing when I said it was stalling :P I wouldn't use lighting effects, as you can still see the shadow is not coming from the same place. The lighting effect I think you mean works differently and wouldn't correct obvious shadow errors.
  17. If you plan on making more squadrons, a full colour VF-111 would be nice (not the later version with the small, monotone logo)
  18. Meh read the wrong number. I bet it's a stress when your entire squad is flying formation over an active battlefield during a thunderstorm.
  19. Ah right you're modifying it. Have you put it into lomac yet, surely with that many polygons it's a strain to play the game?
  20. Hey I have two points to do with your picture, it's definitley moving forward from the last set of pictures as there's something to focus on. First is that always choose you're pictures carefully. The sun in your picture is behind the plane yet the shadows appear as if the sun is coming from the right. This is the biggest give away in many photo manipulations and is often the hardest part finding two good stock photos that fit each other - it's very difficult to manipulate them to have the correct shadows. Second point is the blur like the others said it's over the top for this image, it's obvious you used the glass filter and it doesn't look real. The swirls of the glass have no perspective, they should get smaller with distance. Anyway 'cause I was bored and to show you with visualtisation what I mean I made you an example in the time between my two replies. The hardest part was finding two images that worked together. The next bit was cutting the plane out carefully to paste on the next (if i do it properly it can take hours and it has to be done for a perfect picture, the easy methods aren't that good as you can see in my lazy edit below) As for the blur I also used the glass blur you did (though I don't like using it) except I added motion blur to change it and distort it, adding additional blur effects and skewing the blur so it has perspective prior to blur help add to the realism (no i didn't bother skewing this time I'm meant to be revising for an exam tomorrow so haven't got time) Anyway here's the example: I look forward to seeing your future work :D EDIT: Ha 26minutes for a terrible edit by me, the cutting out is horrible and I don't like that blur anymore :( EDITED the pictured, looked weird with desaturated clouds and a colour plane.
  21. It's on the edge of a stall so is moving slowly in relation to the air, thus the air is in greater contact with the exhaust and is getting heated up at an incredible rate. Or some generic excuse like that on sp0nge's behalf :D
  22. So you are saying 50kB should not be the limit, that it should be alright for a 55kB sig? So then if the rule is changed to 55kB who's to say 60kB now only 5kB over the new limit isn't alright? There has to be a cut-off and yes whilst it's pathetic moderating signatures like that it needs to be done. This forum is a neat forum, no old posts lying around the forum (you have to search to find them) things are moved to appropriate forums, signatures are trimmed. Each thing alone seems a joke but overall the appearance and order of the forum is well managed and this gives ED a good presentation, afterall this is their forum and if they want to be presentable so be it. It isn't that much to ask on your part to resize a signature slightly is it though? By the way was it the last signature that was offending the rules becuase I liked that one, the one with the flamed, skull animation.
  23. Is that the same model?
  24. Ah fair enough, they like to recycle I notice :P
  25. Both, they have constant face-offs to show who's best but it can get rough and once two enemy F-16s collided. The Turk survived and no one knows what happened to the Greek (according to wiki). The countries don't get on well but aren't officially at war I don't think. EDIT: are you sure Torwak? Do they ever fire live ammunition?
