At one point I was seriously considering constructing a 10,000 gallon shark tank and getting a Bull Shark. I discarded those plans long ago. I'd have to have a separate set of tanks just to breed "food" for the shark. I like big aquariums though and sharks have always been the coolest exhibits...

I'll admit I'm no car mechanic expert but I hardly think that replacing a battery should cause your car to shake. My guess is that the shaking was unrelated to the battery unless something got disturbed besides the battery. Glad to hear it's running alright now. Since its a Civic you should have...

Port Hedland #1 I found to be incredibly tough. I've not tried to replay it since I figured out what was the winning track to Wing Commander 1 but maybe for nostalgia I should. You have to escort a Drayman carrying entertainment for the troops back to Claw...first rescuing it from 4 Jalthi and...

That's true, it certainly helped during the actual 6 day war but the 245 kills that I referenced were "air to air" kills...

I never compared the Mig 21 to modern fighters? Where did you get that? I said contemporaries...as in other airplanes designed for a similar role and/or around the same time period. Its contemporaries would include fighters such as the Dassault Mirage IIIA...

I actually was responding specifically to this portion of his quote: Perhaps I should have phrased the context of my response more clearly. I've never felt the Mig 21 to be anything even remotely resembling a serious menace to any of its contemporaries due to its poor combat record. The F104...

Mig 21s have been repeatedly bested by their peers in countless engagements. I don't know enough about the F104 to say specific counts but like Loaf mentioned...the results seem pretty clear. I want to say US had a 10-1 kill ratio on them...but I might be thinking of a different war. Israel also...

Well his last name is Petrarca which always somehow made me think of Peter when I think of him. It's odd I know.

Doh...confused the actor and the character. Lance Casey...

Do you mean Michael "Iceman" Casey or his son Peter Casey?

That's pretty impressive. I have another question. I found out what the problem was. My 3d program when it exports .obj it doesn't export the textures so it doesn't create a .mtl file. Any suggestions on what I can do for the textures? (i.e. free programs that will convert a say .3ds file etc to...

I can understand that, let me say thank you upfront for the work you've done and are continuing to do. What would be really nice though if you or sounds like Venom might be able to even do is show how (step by step) to import .obj files into Flight Commander. I read the instructions for...

That was pretty enjoyable...

When I try to import Howard Day's Hornet model (converted to .obj) I keep gettting a message that material can't be found, unknown material at - Default "" something like that...the texture is already a .bmp not sure why I keep getting that message. How do I map my space background to the two...

Well that's actually only a problem if you want to use a nebula background (or something that overlaps the sides). My background (sorry I don't have it here at work to attach) is very similar to a WC1 background in which it would match all sides seamlessly. Is there anything I can do to make it...

Eddie, got another quick question for you. I replaced the stars background in the sim.sector.xml with a different picture of my own (I used stars.png). It looks nice however it doesn't completely cover the entire "sky" on four sides (or perhaps its really only two sides) there is my background...

Sweet. Well done. What if not everything has a texture on .obj, does it throw an error?

Eddie, how hard is it/would it be to implement a cockpit system? (Ala Wing Commander 1 / 2). For example, if I created a cockpit mesh could I simply import it and use that instead of the default there now? P.S. I have a suggestion, I imagine it will be extremely hard to do now but it would be...

Now you're the one being optimistic. :) Hopefully people will use this but let's be honest...the majority will not, they will still bring their questions to you.

We're working on it. That's a cash cow...as the policy requirements to file a claim will need documented indisputable proof of abduction. We can collect premium and never have to pay out...:)
