Hiya. My two cents worth on the last small question; As far as I know, FS cannot call up what is not within it's folder when it comes to gauges. If it's something that seems new to you, if it was not installed into the gauges folder by you, then it must already be there by default, or by luck from a...

Most excellent, it's a riot to tweak eh? (Especially when you finally get it right. )

I do use the spoilers on airliners every so often on approach - just tap 'em on and off quickly for the desired effect, but it's a pretty mickey mouse method.

Thanks for the link, I've got to get that one then. Is airbrake and speedbrake and spoilers all the same thing?

The version of airED that I scooped lets you open up the .AIR files and explore and change most everything, and you get to save the changes. I haven't even had a look at a basic .cfg file to see where there might be spoiler effectiveness, etc. entries. I'm super-busy lately, but I'll look into it an...

I'd love to see some WASP video. I had a laugh at the one where you came off of flaps too fast during a vertical take off and bounced it off the runway with all the sparks. =D> 8) :lol: I want to make one with the WASP once I've got a decent PC, I've got the music picked out and it's storyboarded in...

Spent a few more nights noodling around and really only managed to beat this thing up a bit more - got a few more rips and tears and blasts onto 'er. Poor ol' thing, full of holes and scorched skin. :twisted: :twisted: I'm liking the way most everything looks, it looks pretty real on the runway and ...

RD - no dust for you - stick with the JD and ice cream for instant gratification, we need you sharp. :lol: :wink: Jaeg, good idea, I'll try to get extra creative with the packaging and representation. Maybe it'll lend a little authenticity to kind of label and illustrate the drive and weapons system...

If you don't have Steve Hinson's F-14 Tomcat, you should find it and get the latest revision version downloaded and flying. Guaranteed Tomcat heaven. Search and be sure to have RD's afterburners installed and get all the paints. Steve passed away several years ago and is sorely missed, there's a cus...

As usual, my flawless memory and fighter jet savvy has me calling an F-14 Tomcat an F-18. Yup, I was hoping for permission to try your F-14 reheat on the Hammerhawk, thanks bud - she's worthy. As for the shuttle, there's really just some folder cleanup and packaging to do on 'er, I'll fit it in shor...

Here's some shots of my shuttle with mucho flamo via RD's 'batburners'. Will post some teasers of the Hammerhawk as well in a bit... :mrgreen: http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o462/hark2131/keep1-1.jpg http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o462/hark2131/keep3-1.jpg http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/...

I'll have to post a few glimpses of this thing soon then, I'm getting close to the lights/points/flight dynamics/packaging part of the project, the textures are finally done 'cept for a few tweaks. Took care of a few misaligned images and minor mistakes today and I'm on top of the few niggling model...

You should be able to find a freewae version of 'AIRed'. It allows you to go in and edit .AIR files and save the changes. Assuming there's no entry for spoiler effectiveness in the aircraft .cfg file, I would imagine there's an entry somewhere in that .AIR file. I'll pop in and have a look a little ...

From what I understand you need to have the correct manufacturer name listed in the aircraft .cfg file found within your aircraft folder. If an add-on author frigs up the name or whatever, FS does not know to put your Cessna's with your Cessna's, it just looks for the manufacturer text entry in the ...

Wow, still working on this thing. Busy having a life so it's slowed down lately, but I'm down to final texture tweaking - I thought this whole thing was getting silly with the hours put in and then realized that there were still monstrous hours left to go before she'd be ready, so I've stayed with i...

Bookmarked so I can experiment when I get FSX and a real PC, thanks for the post Radioman, that sounds promising.

I seem to only have 'Prosilver' as an option in the drop-down for 'My Board Style'.
+ Any chance I could get back to not having to log in each time?

Thanks if you are able to help.

'Tis ugleeeee.

Thanks bud - bookmarked. I'll be needing this once I get a PC that doesn't choke at even the thought of running FSX.

*Rubs eyes* Slowly but surely gettin' there. Doesn't look like much, but this is one of about 10 maps for the main body. I'll probably beat it up some more, then comes matching them all up for consistency. *Rolls bleary eyes* http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o462/hark2131/fsscr1111.jpg http://i343...

Still texturing. Went nuts last night finally applying weathering galore in Photoshop. I'm limited in my Phoptoshop chops, I only know how to do certain things, but it seems to be going reasonably well. Trial and error basically, and being smart enough not to collapse the .PSD's into .BMP's, thinkin...

Ahh Grasshopper, you have done well. Seriously - that's *beep* nice! Makes flying into that airport two hundred times more satisfying eh? The fun and satisfaction factor makes all those times of banging your head off the desk worth it, eh? Once again, hats off on the learning curve, and a 'real' air...

I imagine (okay, I know) that it can be a little disheartening, even frustrating to put forth consistent effort that is only met with lukewarm, if much of any, response or interest. I respect your decision to concentrate your efforts and time and care to more immediate, and particularly productive a...

Is your add-on made for FSX? Sometimes it gets tricky when trying FS9 native aircraft, but there are often easy workarounds by the sounds ofit. Not an old gauge in your aircraft crashing FSX? (It's apparently another common problem, if the author's used older gauges in a panel used in FSX - crashara...

So good to hear Brain Licker, enjoy.

I'm shootin' for this year... :oops: I'm getting a little anxious. Hope to see this thing really wrapping up soon. Once these maps are finalized, it's FUN time - seeing what they look like on the fighter, I have high hopes this time, no 'settling'. It NEEDS to be in the skies... it NEEDS to be on yo...

Wow, I keep thinking - "Alright, almost done working up bitmaps for this thing, then I find 6 things I've set aside for later work, then each of those things turns into 3 or 4 layers and a rework of each layer. It's really fun, and I'm having great results (I think), but I've gotten a little nuts ov...

Holee, got deep into creating textures over the weekend, and every spare minute. I'm coming up with some decent stuff, but boy it gets cumbersome and slow working stuff up in 3 different image editors. The ideas keep coming, and the ol' mouse is just a smokin', and I think I've got workable maps, we...

Right on - finally all animations are done except the canopy, and that's a breeze. (Watch me do it backwards :roll: ) I was messing around between Photoshop, Paint and Pixia, and mostly accidentally came up with really cool textures for some damage to a side panel, and the guts underneath. Well, I'm...

Ended up re-texturing the main gear, finally animated it properly. Silly time it of this time, getting the animations just so, again and again, just to find some part of the gear hit or looked like it went through the fuselage, outside the gearbay, or the friggin gear part would show up in the rear ...

See. It's getting to be more like 'Hark's World Of Faster And Higher Than Normal' all the time.
