WIP - Hawaii Theatre
-
+1, indeed.
Don’t worry, Nikos, right place or not this is not the matter, I think… your statements above are true for both those theaters IMHO.(P.S: And what about to include TDU2 in BMS, I ask?)
-
Book Him Danno!!!
And don’t turn him loose till this theater flies.
Hope you guys can make it happen. -
So I was out surfing at the Marine base today and I saw something very, very cool.
There were two Hornets in the bird bath when I drove across the runway to get to the surf spot. A few minutes later I hear this jet coming off the runway and turn to look and it’s this little white Lear-type of jet. Ok, cool, but not the coolest thing ever.
30 seconds later I hear another jet taking off and it’s this:
Dude was flying it just like a fighter, about 20 feet off the deck right over the water and then pulls up to form on his buddy.
And then 5 minutes later two of these guys took off chasing them:
Very awesome. I’ve never seen a camo’d Lear jet before!

So what is this Pheonix Air chap packing on the right pylon? I have to guess it’s one of three things:
(a.) Towed target
(b.) EW pod
(c.) Dummy ASM (training round) for simulating threats to ship and fighter crews
…Then again, I could have just tried the website: http://phoenixair.com/milops_tacspecs.html
Their roster as I know of doesn’t list the Hunters as an asset. I guess what I really want to know is why the US military needs all of these contractors to assist with training. It just seems very shady. Kind of like hiring mercenaries… which most contractors are regardless.
*EDIT
Here’s the source of your Hunters:

^Scroll down to the “Civil” section on the page to get a brief synopsis of their operation. The two Hunters you saw that day are the only two they have in Hawaii.

Yeah, I’ve seen the Hunters lots of times. I’ve never seen the camo’d Lear before.
They’re having a big exercise out here right now, so it could be part of that. Playing OPFOR air or something. I wasn’t close enough to see if the Lear had anything under his wings, but the Hunters always seem to be lugging all those drop tanks for some reason.

So taking what we have learned from GUAM lately and applying it to this little idea i need someone or someone’s to develop a PR “Skin” so to speak for this Model:
If you are interested……Jan or Ted…LOL…or anyone who feel’s they can try to “get it”
PM me and I will supply the model’s…Extremely tired,

Yes
and it gets better every day……
The “SKIN” on the Guam Landmass in the pics is from the ALPHA mosaics at 10’000 feet.
I think???...LOL!!!.. if you have followed me in this thread one would know from the ABase POC that we can render pretty high quality imagery on a feature with a lot less FPS cost than on a Tile.
In fact, in the pics, I have not yet removed the PR tiling underneath. When done we will see an ~10-20 FPS jump……;)
As far as your next question, yes “Click Click BOOM!!!” the Taboo areas still exist on the underlying wire frame (the L2 and .BIN)…demer

have u tried the Unity trick?
