Date: 03 Mar 1999 20:47:16 -0800 Hey guys, did you see the article in PC Gamer regarding Jane's World War. It seems that they are hard at work on the virtual battlefield. If realized, it will allow anyone with a Jane's sim (not the present sims, but one's that are specifically coded for this environment) to log onto a virtual battlefield where all units/aircraft are controlled by human players, engaged in a realtime battlefield environment! It is being developed by Paul Grace and company (USAF series, IAF, etc.). BTW, the first sim in the series will allow the player to fly eight different a/c (if I'm remembering correctly). As you might expect with Paul, we will not get the detailed flight modeling of Longbow 2 or F-15 (bummer), but more along the lines of IAF....a very interesting article.

The main page will have pop up menus for Mac, PC and Special sections. Each pop up menu will provide a link to the given item and as a flow chart for easier navigation. So far the overhaul is only as far as the members section with quite a bit of work to do. But when done it should be much more intuitive to locate a source of material. And will make it easier to add new material. Please take a look and mail me any suggestions. And for a bit of humor .... check out my home page, http://www.inficad.com/~cdb . And when looking at it, just remember I have a Mac and a PC and do tech support for both :) Dale - To unsubscribe to fscombat, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe fscombat" in the body of the message.

At least I had a flight sim called Falcon that I use to run on my PC-XT and I think it was a SpecHolo product. It was so long ago I can barely remember it. :) It was quite advanced for it's time, especially since it ran on an XT (with CGA or course). The objects were wire frame, the world was small and flat, amazing how far they have come. The flight model was decent for the day, SAMS were modeled, LCOS was modeled, it was kinda cool back then.

This will remain up until either MPS asks that it be removed or gives permission for it to remain :). If I can, I want to get MPS permission to include other MPS files on the site. ftp://shelby.ucr.edu/pub/MFS/MicroProse/PC Currently I am the admin of the site. I took over after it's creator, Tom Morrison graduated college and got involved with having kids. The site began as the Mac Flight Sim (MFS) but has expanded into having files for both the Mac and PC user. The site is non denominational and intended solely as a flight sim community resource. Any one can upload files as long as they include a brief explanation and their name in the explanation so credit can be properly attributed. And although I am known for the Cyber Wings site, the MFS is not part of that. It is an independent entity And this site will never have any commercial involvement. It is a resource for all to have, use and enjoy Dale ******************************************************* To join the CWW (Mac) listserver: http://www.inficad.com/~cdb/CWW/Media/macmedia.html To join the FSCombat (PC) listserver: http://www.inficad.com/~cdb/CWW/Media/pcmedia.html Flight Sim Competition Ladders http://www.xmission.com/~thon/CWW/Competition/fsgc.html ******************************************************* - To unsubscribe to fscombat, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe fscombat" in the body of the message.

The patch has been emailed directly to those users who reported the problem to Activision's customer support department. Additionally, the patch has been posted on the Parsoft website (http://www.parsoft.com) and will hopefully be mirrored to the Fighter Squadron fan sites shortly. If you install the patch, and continue to experience problems related to the CD read error, please make a report to Activision customer support at support@activision.com. Please note that this patch is only designed for those who experienced the CD Read Error; those who have not experienced this problem do not need to install the patch. - To unsubscribe to fscombat, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe fscombat" in the body of the message.

As most of you may know, the military is using some of Jane's software for demonstration purposes for military personnel. There was a report on that subject this morning....it was so cool to see 8 F-15E's (from Jane's F-15) flying in a wedge formation, NOE, ingressing/egressing to/from a target area....just like I did in Jane's F-15! :^) They also showed some very cool footage of a Tomahawk cruise missile being fired from a frigate (Fleet Command I assume). Get this, they also showed an F-117A flying over the Yugoslavia and being shot down.....pilot ejecting (probably from USAF sim). Anyway, very cool segment!
