Steve...you are correct. Further digging found this:

I'll be darned...as a 22+ year veteran that is the very first time I have seen a C-130 with floats. Thanks Joseph29!! Guess an Old Dog can learn new tricks...

Joseph29...I believe you are thinking of the ski version for arctic/ice landings.

Somebody is thinking "outside the box" for sure. I don't think the region for intended use at the moment is to hard of a guess either. The C-130 platform has been tested/utilized in a number of unconventional ways for years and this is definitely a new one... Would seriously add some new i...

Steve, Appreciate your thoughts. Will be interesting to see how all of this progresses. As I said, I know of a number of small businesses that are still operating on Windows XP and 7 by way of an Intranet structure and only utilizing select machines on the Internet completely isolated from their Int...

Thanks for the update Steve. I was wondering about this as well. I have a Gen 7 Intel Chip in my Toshiba Satellite laptop, but the device manager shows TPM present as well. I think that before all is said and done MS is going to either end up rethinking these chip dependent features or - most likely...

Another great addition based on the skills and dedication of a true legend...Thanks for all you do John!!

You sir are an absolute "Master Craftsman".

Your continued support of FS9, however numbered those days may be, is greatly appreciated.

I can't wait to play with these beauties!!

Nice...Been 20 years since I looked at this FM. I still have a hard copy from my time in service in the 80s/90s and comparing the two, the changes are significant. While comparing the two, I also came across several decks of Aircraft/Armor recognition flash cards that TASC distributed to us grunts b...

Love the Amiga systems...I had a Commodore 128 in 1985. I forget the name of the magazine, but I subscribed to one that always had machine/assembly language scripts for different games you could program into the C128. I killed a lot of hours punching numbers into that thing to create sprites and sou...

So basically the new UI is giving windows users many features and functions that have been available in linux for the last 20 years... I want to go back to the days where my T/RS Model 4D with 12MB Suitcase HDD was considered top of the line...never seen a better platform for Space Invaders since......

Thanks Steve...I should have decompiled the Traffic File before posting. I was just going off the included text file.

FYI _ Possible Traffic File Error...

While reviewing the traffic files I discovered 00-0175 is listed twice in the Flight Plans and 00-0178 is missing entirely.

You might try searching flightsim.com or avsim.com. I know avsim had some back in the day, but after their server was hacked and deleted some years ago, I am not sure if they are still there. Many files were never re-uploaded due to the original authors having already moved on to other endeavours. Mat

John, I think the KC-10 would be a great project to see done as well. I know it would be retro but the S-3B Viking and OV-1C/D Mohawk would be cool fixed wings (This is probably biased by my service time 1983 - 2002). When you do come back to the helos a neat package deal to consider would be the US...

Thumbs Up on that Steve... All I did, for instance, where I have multiple sceneries by a single author (John Stinstrom, Blueprint Simulations, etc.) is identify the common textures utilized in each scenery and then moved a single copy to the main texture directory. It has served me well so far and I...

Thanks Steve! Pretty much what I thought the practice was in all ways that you stated. The lightmaps for AI aircraft (*_L) make the most sense and sounds like the way to go and weapons, etc.. for at least US aircraft (which dominate my setup). I will play with this some by viewing some of the textur...

Looking for an in-depth education on the practice of placing common AI Aircraft textures in the FS2004 Main Texture directory. I notice that a number of MAIW packages utilize this practice (i.e., NBAI weapons, reflective canopy, *_L). This seems like a good practice and would save considerable disk ...
